 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Powers - First Impressions
 | ((Personal Quarters))

:: After training Max was pretty excited.  He felt
like he had done his best but there was still that
little flicker of doubt in the back of his mind.
Maybe there was something he did that Captain Waltas
hadn?t liked.  Maybe there was something he could have
done better.  Or worse, maybe there was something he
*should* have done better.  Ensign Powers worried
himself sick and decided to retire to his personal
quarters for the night.::

::After waking up Max checked to see if he had any
messages.  He had one.  Not only had he passed
training, he had been assigned to the newly
commissioned USS Aurora.  She was designed with
diplomacy in mind but she also had some search and
rescue capabilities as well.  Max was overwhelmed with
joy.  He had worked so hard to get to this point.  All
his years of studying and sacrifice were paying off.
He couldn?t wait to tell his folks::

POWERS: Comptuer.  Open channel to my father.

:: The computer chirped in compliance and the image of
Wayne Powers came to the screen.::

WAYNE POWERS (WP): Son!  How?s it going?

MAX POWERS (MP): Great dad.  It?s so good to see your
face.

WP: You?re mother and I haven?t heard from you in a
while.  Is everything ok?

MP: It?s great dad.  Couldn?t be better.

WP: You seem to be in a really good mood.  What?s
going on?

MP: I just finished my training mission  and . . . ::
he paused for dramatic effect::  I passed!

:: A look of sheer exuberance came over the face of
Wayne Powers::

WP: Judy!  Come quick!  Max passed his training
mission!

:: Max?s mother appeared alongside his father and the
two of them just smiled and made all kinds of
congratulatory remarks.::

WP: We?re so proud of you son.  We knew you could do
it.

JP: Yes.  Have you received your assignment yet?

MP: Yes.  I?ve been assigned to the USS Aurora.  She?s
brand new.

::Max?s mother started to tear up.  She was so proud
of her little boy.  Max would always be her little
boy, especially with Max?s brother Drew still
missing.::

WP: That?s great news son.

MP: Thanks guys.  I?m so happy right now.  I?m going
to go check out the ship and try to learn my way
around.  I?ll contact you guys soon.  Promise.

JP: Ok honey.  Take care.  Be safe.  Do what your
commanding officers tell you to do.

:: Max chuckled to himself.  His mom, the ever
constant worrier.::

MP: Ok mom.  I will.  You guys take care.  Love you
both!

:: The screen went blank as the connection was cut.
Max got up and headed towards the Aurora::

((Bridge ? USS Aurora))

::Max had come to the bridge first.  Max was impressed
by the ship.  She was smaller than a lot of the other
ships but she looked good.  The Aurora had that new
starship smell too.  Ensign Powers took a deep breath.
  Max was so excited he had neglected to see who else
had been stationed on the Aurora.  He wasn?t even sure
who his commanding officers were going to be.  He sat
down at the nearest console.::

POWERS: Computer, bring up the ship manifest.  I?d
like to see the officers assigned to this ship.

:: The computer complied and the list of the officers
assigned to the Aurora came up on the screen.  Max
noticed that several of the members of his training
class had also been assigned to the Aurora::

oO Oh good.  Some familiar faces.  This will make
things a little easier. Oo

::Just then the doors to the bridge opened up.  Max
looked up from the screen to see who it was.

ZAZOU/HARLEY: response

POWERS: Hey there!  How are you?

((OOC: I?ll back sim as much of the conversation as
you want))

::A short while later the doors parted.  A woman
walked onto the bridge.  She was human and a little on
the short side.  Max noticed that she had four pips on
her collar::

oO This must be Captain Parker! Oo

::Max wasted no time in introducing himself.  He
walked over to Captain Parker and extended his hand.::

POWERS: Hello, ma?am.  I?m Ensign Max Powers.

PARKER: response

POWERS: Yes ma?am.  I?ve been assigned to the Aurora.

PARKER: response

POWERS: I am very excited.  Honestly, a little nervous
too, but very excited.  How about you?  Nervous?

PARKER: response

((OOC: I?ll stop here so everyone can get involved in
the conversation.  I?m excited how about everyone
else??))

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Powers EO - Finding Engineering
 | ((Bridge))

::The three green-as-can-be ensigns finished their
initial meeting with their new captain.  Max was
impressed.  She obviously had the abilities need to be
a captain otherwise Starfleet would not have promoted
her this far.  But, and more perhaps more important to
Max, she seemed approachable too.  He wasn?t afraid of
her.  She wasn?t imtimidating.  Ensign Powers liked
Captain Parker already and he knew that he would learn
a lot from her.::

::Ensign Powers was curious to find out what his
training classmates thought of their new CO but he
wanted to get down to engineering too::

POWERS: Hey guys.

::Ensigns Harley and Zazou turned towards him.::

POWERS: I want to know what you guys thought about our
new CO.  Do you like her?

HARLEY/ZAOU: response?

POWERS: Yeah.  I know what you mean.  She seems really
friendly.  Approachable.  Like, if we have a problem
or a concern we can take it up with her.

HARLEY/ZAZOU: response?

POWERS: Exactly.  Tough but fair.

HARLEY/ZAZOU: response?

POWERS: Well, we should all catch up later.  I?m going
to head down to engineering before our briefing.  I
want to see where I?ll be working.

HARLEY/ZAZOU: response?

POWERS: Bye!

:: Max turned and headed towards to turbolift.  The
doors parted with the typical rush of air and Max
stepped aboard::

POWERS: Deck seven.

:: As the turbolift jumped into action there was
hardly any noticeable movement.  It was so smooth.
The ride was fast but Max?s thoughts were racing
through his head the entire time.  Not only was this
his first assignment, but in a way, it was the
Aurora?s too.  This was to be her maiden voyage.  Max
did not want to mess it up.  It was going to be his
job to make sure that they could get wherever they
needed to get.  He gave the ship power.  He gave it
life.  He didn?t want anything to happen on his
watch::


((Main Engineering))

:: The turbolift came to a stop and the doors parted.
Max looked out at the scene ahead of him.  There were
still some Starfleet personnel putting finishing
touches on the ship.  A few lights were still being
installed.  Some of the panels were getting their
final tweaks before the Aurora pulled out of her dock.
  Max could hear more work being done to engineering
but it seemed like only cosmetics at this point.  He
knew that the bulk of the ship was done.  The crew of
the Aurora was about to embark on the most exciting
journey of their lives and Max, for one, couldn?t
wait.::

:: He started to walk around engineering, trying to
get a feel for his new surroundings.  Max wanted to
know where everything was.  He knew that sooner or
later, and more likely sooner than later, his skills
would be put to the test. He heard somebody come up
behind him.  Max spun around to see who it was.::

CRISTO: Oh I?m sorry sir.  Didn?t mean to scare you.

::Max put his right hand over his heart and let out a
little sigh.::

POWERS: It?s ok.  I was just lost in my thoughts and
didn?t expect anyone to be behind me.  Who might you
be?

CRISTO: I?m Crewman Will Cristo.  And you?

:: Crewman Cristo stuck out his hand.  Max grabbed
it.::

POWERS: Ensign Max Powers.  I?ve been assigned here to
engineering.  How about you?

CRISTO: Well then, I guess I?m at your service.  I?ve
been assigned here to engineering as well.

POWERS: Great.  Have you had a chance to look around?

:: Cristo nodded.::

CRISTO: Yes sir I have.  Everything seems to be just
about ready to go.  As you can see Starfleet is just
putting the finishing touches on.

:: There was a slight pause as Powers looked around
engineering, trying to take it all in.::

CRISTO: Judging by the single pip on your collar I?m
assuming this is your first assignment.  What do you
think about the Aurora?

POWERS: So far so good.  The Aurora?s a little smaller
a ship than I expected to be assigned to, but I think
it?s going to be a great ship.

:: Their conversation was interrupted by his comm
badge.::

PARKER: response?

::Max tapped his comm badge to reply.::

POWERS: =/= Ensign Powers here. =/=

PARKER: response?

::A briefing.  Max figured that the Captain would
explain a little bit about what she expects.  Tell
them how she was going to run her ship.  Maybe even a
little bit about their first mission.::

POWERS: =/= Yes ma?am.  Understood.  I?ll be there.
=/=

::Max turned back to Crewman Cristo::

POWERS: Well you heard the lady.  I better get going.
It was nice meeting you Crewman.

::They shook hands again.::

CRISTO: You too sir.  I?ll be seeing you.

((OOC2 - Who does Harley report to? department head wise.)) 
 
 
(Aurora - Bridge)
 
:: Joshua and Romi exited the turbolift, his darted to the front of the bridge, the lonely console, at the front...a solem chair turned slightly to face the port 2 tier set of steps, There was one or two technitions making the finishing touches, the ship externally looked ready to go. Romi and Josh walked over to the back of the bridge, where Max was talking to Commander parker. He caught the tail end of their conversation. ::
 
Powers: Yes ma?am.  I?ve been assigned to the Aurora.

:: The commander took the Padds from the 3 new Ensigns, she scanned them quickly. ::

Parker: So Mister Powers, you're my new engineer ...
welcome aboard.

Powers: I am very excited.  Honestly, a little nervous too, but very excited.  How about you?  Nervous?

Parker: Even Commanders get nervous and excited ... but it's our job to maintain control so we rarely show it.

Ensign Zazou?

Zazou: Yes, ma'am.

Parker:  Aurora's new medical officer ... it may surprise you to learn that I am a Starfleet surgeon. I'll be expecting the best for medical.

Zazou: Of course, now pressure here. ::Romi gave a big smile.::

Parker:  Don't worry, it's a small crew ... medical
shouldn't keep you too busy. (turning to the last) Ensign Harley?
Harley: Yes Ma'am. 

Parker:  Ever flown an starship before?

Harley: Freighters, cargo ships, that's it.

Parker:  Well as helm officer you'll be getting alot of time at the controls here.  Just try not to dent my ship leaving spacedock.

:: Parker attempted to look stern, it faltered and broke into a smile.  ::

Don't worry, Aurora is state of the art ... she'll practically fly herself.

oOI hope notOo
 
:: Josh grinned and spoke jokingly. ::
 
Harley: If I dent her ... I'll bang it out myself.
 
Parker:  Get your gear stowed, check in with your departments ... a brief will be scheduled shortly.
 
:: They murmured, there "yes Ma'am", Parker turned and walked away, leaving the 3 of them alone. ::
 
 
Powers: Hey guys.

::Ensigns Harley and Zazou turned towards him.::

Powers: I want to know what you guys thought about our
new CO. Do you like her?

Zazou: Zazou: She has something gentile.
Harley: Good sense of humour, seems leniant as well.

Powers: Yeah. I know what you mean. She seems really
friendly. Approachable. Like, if we have a problem
or a concern we can take it up with her.

Zazou: Yes, exactly.
Harley: I bet she'll tell you if you make a few mistakes to many.

Powers: Exactly. Tough but fair.

Zazou: Right you are!
Harley: Best way to be. 

Powers: Well, we should all catch up later. I?m going
to head down to engineering before our briefing. I
want to see where I?ll be working.

Zazou: That is a great idea. I think I'll go to medical. Joshua, would you like to come?
:: Josh hesitated, he was very tempted to say yes, but he needed to look his work place over. ::
 
Harley: Like you two, I have to look over my workplace, I'll drop by later on. 

Powers: Bye!

Harley: Catch you both later.
 
:: He watched both Max and Romi exit the bridge, he was alone, Josh circled the bridge, walked down the steps to his console, he noticed that it's setup had changed, he was about to change it back to starfleet standard, when he realised that he hadn't requested or had got his security clearance and access codes, a costly mistake if he had tripped the alarm. ::
 
:: He walked up to the command stage, hoped over the safty barrier and looked at the MSD, he found the security office, which was on deck 3, as was Sickbay he walked into the turbolift and staed his destination ::
 
Harley: Deck 3
 
(Deck 3)
 
:: He walked through the cooridoors, and headed into sickbay, he saw Romi. ::
 
Harley: (jokeingly) I'm ready for my medical, Doctor.
 
Zazou: ???
 
Harley: Actually I was heading to the COS' office to get my security clearance and codes ...Thought I'd just ... drop in.
 
Zazou: ???

 | Lt (jg) Dominus, CSO USS Aurora - Reporting in
 | OOC: sorry guys i really would have like one of the first sims but i
was on holiday in corfu so didn't have chance... and to be honest i
wasn't really expecting the Aurora to be launched when it was...

Congrats Parker btw on getting your own command and thanks for
bringing me aboard.

USS Aurora - Science Lab 1

::Dominus had been brought aboard the brand new ship the USS Aurora.
Captain Parker as she know was had requested him aboard the ship
which was a privelage.  Dominus had been aboard the ship for around
two hours and had been arranging his quarters and sorting the science
lab to his own specifications.

Dominus started making his way to the bridge he thought it
appropriate to meet Captain Parker and report for duty as he had done
on arrival to the Victory.  As Dominus entered the turbo-lift it went
up around two decks and stopped as the doors opened he saw Lt. Cmdr
Beta and Lt. Thomas on the way to the turbo-lift.

DOMINUS: Hello Lt. Cmdr, Lt. I am on my way to report to Captain
Parker care to join me?

ANYONE: RESPONSE

::The three officers took the turbo-lift up to the bridge and stepped
out on to the deck.

((Bridge ? Deck 1 ? USS Aurora))

:: Beta stood next to the door, tapping the door bell,
the lifeless bleep rang out, the soften answer return
and both men entered.::

BETA: Sir.

ANYONE: (reponse)

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Max Powers, EO - Two Briefings and a Launch
 | ((Main Engineering))

:: Max was getting used to his new surroundings.  Even
though the Aurora was small compared to the other
ships in the fleet she was big to Ensign Powers.  He
had never been inside main engineering on an actual
Federation starship before.  He just wanted to enjoy
the feeling and experience for a little while.  He
found a comfy chair and just swirled back and forth
for a minute.::

:: He closed his eyes and imagined the ship in some
sort of battle with things badly damaged.  Sparks
flying everywhere.  Casualties and injuries mounting.
Things were looking bad for the Aurora and her crew.
But somehow, and Max hadn?t quite worked out the
details yet, he and the rest of engineering were able
to somehow give Parker all the power she needed to get
the ship and her crew to safety.::

oO One day . . . I know I?m going to come through big
time for this ship.  Oo

:: He was brought out of his little fantasy by a
voice.::

CRISTO: Ensign Powers?

:: Max sat upright and gave a few tugs at the uniform
while clearing his throat.::

POWERS: Yes Cristo, what is it?

::Cristo walked over the Max and handed him a padd.::

CRISTO: I just wanted to give you a copy of the status
reports from engineering so far.  It seems that
everything is in order for the most part.

POWERS: Thanks.

::Max looked over the reports quickly, trying to see
if anything would jump out at him as a problem.::

POWERS: You did a great job with this.  Thanks.  I?m
going to run this up to the captain so she can look it
over.

((A few minutes later))

:: Max stood at the door to Parker?s ready room and
heard the familiar chime.::

PARKER: response

::Max stepped through the now open doors and saw his
captain sitting behind her desk.::

POWERS: I just wanted to give you a report about the
status of engineering ma?am.

::Max handed her the padd so she could read it over.
As she was reading Max went ahead and gave a quick
synopsis.::

POWERS: It seems that everything is up and running.
The work the yard workers are doing is purely cosmetic
at this point.  I anticipate some minor problems that
will creep up as we first leave dock but I don?t
foresee anything too major.

PARKER: response

POWERS: Yes ma?am.  I have one more diagnostic running
on some of the peripheral systems down in engineering
but those results should come back shortly and well
within Starfleet?s parameters.

PARKER: response

POWERS: As you can see we have full impulse and warp
capabilities.  Power level throughout the ship are
right where they should be.  Everything is coming back
just they way we?d like it to.

PARKER: response

POWERS: Is there anything else ma?am?

PARKER: response

OOC: I guess what happens next depends on the response
here so I?m going to leave this alone and jump to the
group briefing.  I will backsim if needed.  Feel free
to kick me out of the office &#61514;

((TIME WARP))

((Conference Room ? 1100 hours))

::Everyone was sitting around and talking when
Commander Parker came in.  Then entire group jumped to
their feet.::

PARKER:  As you were.

::She moved to the head of the large conference table
and took her chair.::

PARKER:  Anyone have anything for me before I begin?

THOMAS:  I've just received word, our last remaining
supplies including medical supplies have arrived.  The
good doctor can arranged for everything she needs to
be brought to sickbay when she has the time.
Operations reports maximum efficiency commander.

::She listened before continuing.::

PARKER:  Launch preparations are proceeding more
rapidly then expected ... by all reports.  The crew
and the yard hands have done an outstanding job
getting us ready.

ANYONE:  response

PARKER:  The yard chief has given us the green light
to launch ... today.

:: Max?s eyebrows went upwards in shock.  All his hard
work was about to be put to the test.::

PARKER: After this meeting you will have 1 hour to
prepare, then we head out for a shakedown.  I want to
use this flight to double check our readiness.
Commander Beta and Lieutenant Thomas will be running
readiness drills at random.  Expect the unexpected.

:: That was one of those phrases that everyone knew
what it meant while at the same time had absolutely no
clue what it meant.  Max smiled to himself a little.::

ANYONE:  response

PARKER:  If there's nothing else ... I suggest you
return to your stations and prepare for launch.
Dismissed.

((TIME WARP ? 1 hour later))

((Bridge))

::Everyone was one the bridge.  Max knew that he
should probably be down in engineering but he wanted
to be on the bridge for the maiden launch.  Parker
gave the order, Harley?s fingers danced across his
console, and the ship slowly began to crawl forward.
It had begun.::

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Harley - Helm - Under way
 | ( Yesterday) 
 
:: Harley had had nice chat with Zazou, it was cut short when the CO asked Zazou for status reports from her. Harley took that point as a time to leave her to it, he headed to the Security Office but found Solon was not there, he learned from Lt(jg) Birk that he was in a meeting with Cmdr Parker. ::
 
:: Harley made his way back to the turbolift, and headed to deck 4, there a was a shuttle craft that he wanted to check out, one he had never seen before and for that matter heard of ... the WaveRider. It was not in the shuttlebay ...Infact to get to it, you climbed down a ladder ... not easy ... but space was limited on the Aurora, he enjoyed the exercise if he was to be truthfull. ::
 
:: Looking over the shuttle from end to end, he looked at the Helm layout, as well as Ops, they weren't big consoles, they only had the basics ... but again this was for atmospheric flight and again for science. ::
 
(present day - Quarters)
 
:: Joshua was up early...they were not yet put on a shift, a meeting was called for 1100hrs, he had got his security codes late last night, he headed to the mess hall and got some breakfast, making idle chit chat with the few crew members who were in there. ::
(1050hrs - conference room - deck1)
 
:: Josh entered the conference room, some Senior Officers were there already ... Josh made his way to his seat and sat down, looking over the PADD, There was No problems with helm whatsoever. :: 
 
(1100hrs - conference room - deck1)
 
:: Commander Paker entered the room, the chat was low, in a whisper like tone. ::
 
Beta: ???
 
:: Everyone stopped talking, and stood to attention, almost as one. ::
 
Parker: As you were.
:: They sat down, and waited for Parker to talk, for Harley and he guessed the same for the other Ensigns, eagerly waiting for her to begin. ::
 
Parker:  Anyone have anything for me before I begin?
Solon: Tactical and Security report everything is ready. The transport for our photon torpedoes arrived on schedule, and transfer is complete. Security has everything we need.
Thomas: I've just received word, our last remaining supplies including medical supplies have arrived.  The good doctor can arranged for everything she needs to be brought to sickbay when she has the time.  Operations reports maximum efficiency commander. 
Harley: Helm is a go Captain, Everything's running at 100%
Parker:  Launch preparations are proceeding more rapidly then expected ... by all reports.  The crew and the yard hands have done an outstanding job getting us ready.
:: This was good news to Harley, he understood the need to make sure the ship was ready ...especially a new ship like this, but he wanted to take her out, he wanted to be at the helm, taking this ship to where-ever she had to go. ::
Parker: The yard chief has given us the green light to launch ... today.  

:: Harley was pleased, they were finaly going to be leaving the Starbase. ::
Parker: After this meeting you will have 1 hour to prepare, then we head out for a shakedown.  I want to use this flight to double check our readiness.
Commander Beta and Lieutenant Thomas will be running
readiness drills at random.  Expect the unexpected.

Parker: If there's nothing else ... I suggest you return to your stations and prepare for launch. 
Dismissed.
Parker: If there's nothing else ... I suggest you return to your stations and prepare for launch. 
Dismissed.

:: They stood up and left the room, heading there separate ways, Josh headed to the bridge, exiting the bridge door, he walked to his console and began to make last minute preparations, throughout the hour readiness drills were done, they all worked out ... getting better as they were done. ::
(1 hour later - Bridge)
:: Josh read the sequence out in his mind. ::
oORCS Thrusters ... ready, Impulse engines ...Online, Warp ... operational, Navigational sensors ... Operational. oO
:: The checks were complete, Helm check was complete. ::
:: The bridge was by now a hub of activity, there was a air of anticipation with a slight tinge of tension ... this was Aurora's first proper cruise, a shakedown. ::
Thomas: We have been given the all clear.  Commander we are clear for launch.
Parker: Very well Lieutenant.  Throw off all moorings ... secure from external support mode.

Mister Harley ... take us out, thrusters only.

:: Josh heard the Mooring clamps disengage, and the sound the ship made, began a slighty higher tone, as her systems and operations was done under her own power, without seeing them, he knew that the ships lights were coming on, almost simutaniously, It would be a sight to see for anybody watching, part of him wished he could see it from the outside ... but he was even more pleased to be piloting the ship himself, to be on the ship. ::
Harley: Aye Sir, taking us out Thrusters only.
:: Parker had obviously asked The stations CO, not to have there tractor beams, 'taxi', the ship out of the doors, Harley was a little nervous about this fact, he knew he was more then capable of doing this operation, although doing it for real was totaly different from the simulations. ::
oO Is She testing me? Oo
:: He kept an eye on his little veiw screen, it came up with more information, distance to the doors, distance between the ship and both sides of the doors and other information he needed, he kept looking from the veiwscreen to his console. ::

:: Kael never did take much interest in science, well the
Interest was there he just never had any speciality
In science specifics.  He would endeavour while on aurora

 | ((Bridge, Deck 1 ? USS AURORA))

::The Aurora slowly slid from her dock and into space.
  Infinite possibilities lay before her and Max felt
fortunate to be a part of her legacy.  As the last of
the ship cleared the confines of the dock Captain
Parker gave her first orders.::

PARKER: Helm ... make our course 27 mark 116, ¼
impulse.

::Ensign Harley was at the helm, and doing a fine job,
despite his apparent apprehension before departure::

HARLEY:  response

PARKER:  Mister Thomas, what's our status, still green
I hope?

THOMAS:  All systems are operational commander.

PARKER:  Double check all departments.  Are we still
clear for this test?

:: Pausing for a few seconds Kael spoke up::

THOMAS: I?m reading a small pressure spike in the
plasma inducer.  It?s within limits.  Can you
compensate Ensign Power?

POWERS: Yes sir.  Give me one minute.

:: Max looked down at his console and found that he
was picking up the same readings and Lt. Thomas.  With
a few simple changes he was able to get the spike
under control and bring the power levels back to where
they were supposed to be.  Max made a mental note to
check on on the plasma inducer when he got the
chance.::

THOMAS: Very good Ensign.  The pressure is returning
to standard levels.  Commander, we are good to go.

::Megan turned to her engineer.::

Mister Powers, I trust we'll have warp when I need it?

POWERS:  Yes ma?am.  Engineering has full
capabilities.  I wouldn?t push her too hard right now
just to make sure everything is in line.

PARKER:  Helm, when we clear the system change our
heading to 16 mark 75, take us to warp 3.

::Ensign Powers was curious as to where this new
heading would take them.  He took a breath and opened
his mouth to ask but then thought better of it.  He
didn?t want it to seem like he was questioning Captain
Parker.  Instead, he thought he should get somebody to
take a look at the plasma inducer.::

POWERS: =/= Powers to Cristo =/=

CRISTO: =/= Cristo here.  What is it sir? =/=

POWERS: =/= We just detected a small spike in the
power levels for the plasma inducer.  Any chance you
could check that out? =/=

CRISTO: =/= Sure.  I?ll get right on it =/=

POWERS: =/= Thanks. =/=/

::The ship made the jump to Warp 3 with ease.  All
systems were green and showed no signs of trouble.  Lt
Thomas tried to get something going on the bridge,
seemingly hoping to test Aurora and some of her
capabilities.::

THOMAS: Science, anything of interest coming up ahead
we can test our sensors on?

DOMINUS: Response

THOMAS: Commander.  It would give us something to
test.

PARKER: Response

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Powers & Lt Thomas - Checking the Sensors
 | ((Bridge))

::Max was enjoying his time on the bridge.  Things had
been running pretty smoothly now for a while.  He
never got to watch the stars dance across a view
screen growing up so he was trying to take in as much
as he could.  As a good a time as he was having he
couldn?t wait to get into engineering and get his
hands dirty.::

THOMAS:  Commander, there is an Incoming message from
Starfleet command.

PARKER:  I'll take it in my ready room.

THOMAS:  Ay sir.  I'll patch it through

::Megan got up to leave, turning at the last minute.::

PARKER:  Mister Solan ... you have the Conn.

::Solan moved over and took his newly appointed seat.
He seemed comfortable, like he enjoyed sitting in the
captain?s chair.  Max wondered if Solan had any
aspirations to become a captain someday.::

((Time warp ? 20 minutes later))

::Captain Parker emerged from her ready room.::

PARKER:  Helm ... set course for the Caraban system,
warp 6.

::Max wondered what was going on.  A change of plans
meant something important.  Something special.  Warp
6.  That meant the ship was going to be getting
wherever it was they were headed pretty fast.  Max was
curious by nature and this was killing him.  He needed
something to keep himself busy and his mind off of
what might be.::

HARLEY:  response

PARKER:  Solan, arrange an all officers call in one
hour in the conference room.

SOLAN:  Aye, Commander.

PARKER:  I'll be in my ready room if needed before
then.

::Parker turned and left the bridge.::

THOMAS: Cmdr Solan I'd like to inspect the internal
sensors control.  I believe its using a substantial
amount of power, more than I'd like.  If Ensign Powers
has a moment, I could use his assistance.

SOLAN: ::Solan turned around.:: It'll have to be
quick, Lieutenant.
The briefing won't wait.

THOMAS: Of course.  It shouldn't take us long.  Two
heads are better than one.

POWERS: What deck Lt?

THOMAS: Its in Jeffries tube junction 64e.  Deck 3.

::The two headed towards the turbolift and stepped in.
  Lt Thomas called out their destination.::

THOMAS: Deck 3

::The chirped in compliance and the turbolift began
it?s decent.  There was a moment of silence before Lt
Thomas broke it.::

THOMAS: We haven't had a chance to meet yet have we
ensign?

POWERS: No sir, we really haven?t had a chance to meet
yet.

::Max stuck out his hand and the two shook.  It only
lasted a second and then the turbolift stopped and the
doors opened.  Max gestured for Lt Thomas to go first.
Lt Thomas stepped through the doors but Max was close
on his heels.  He wanted to learn everything he could
from his superior but he also wanted to impress him.::

POWERS: The junction you?re talking about should be
just up ahead sir.

THOMAS: You did well at the academy ensign.  You
highly impressed your lecturers.  I'm sure you'll be
doing the same onboard.

POWERS: Thank you sir.  I just hope to impress Captain
Parker.

THOMAS: ::Laughing:: She runs a tight ship, but she's
more understanding than you might realize.

::As they approached the access panel Max knelt down.
With a little effort Max was able to remove the access
panel to the Jeffries tube.  Again, Max motioned for
Lt Thomas to go first.  The two dropped to their hands
and knees and crawled through the small access space
in the wall and into the Jeffries tube.::

POWERS: Nothing seems to be damaged as far as I can
see sir.

::Lt Thomas nodded.  There definitely didn?t seem to
be anything wrong as far as the eye could tell. Ensign
Powers pulled out his tricorder and did a quick scan.
He handed his tricorder over the Lt Thomas.::

POWERS: What do you make of these readings sir?

::Thomas took the tricorder and looked at it for a
second before responding.::

THOMAS: The plasma resister here is misconfigured.
Its letting too much power through.

::Lt Thomas handed the tricorder back to Ensign Powers
who put it back in its holder.::

POWERS: Exactly what I was thinking.  Let?s check with
engineering too, just to make sure.  =/= Ensign
Powers to Cristo =/=

CRISTO: =/= Cristo here.  What do you need sir? =/=

POWERS: =/= Can you take a quick look at the plasma
grid?  We noticed that the internal sensors were
taking a little more power than they should be.  =/=

CRISTO: =/=Yeah.  It does seem a little high.  Well
within Starfleet?s range though sir.=/=

POWERS: =/= I know.  We just want to get everything
perfect.  =/=

CRISTO: =/= Do you want me to do anything from down
here sir? =/=

POWERS: =/= No, that?s ok.  I?m looking at the EPS
conduit in Jeffries tube junction 64e right now with
Lt Thomas.  We?ll get it from here.  Thanks. =/=
::turning back to Lt Thomas:: Can you open that
storage cabinet there and hand me the kit inside?

::Max pointed to a small cubby hole sized portion on
the wall inside the Jeffries tube.  Lt. Thomas handed
over.  Ensign Powers opened it up and took out the
needed tools.  He handed one to Lt Thomas.::

POWERS: I think that if we both work on this it
shouldn?t take too long.  If you get it from this side
here ::Max pointed:: and I?ll get from this other
side.  It should only need a minor adjustment.

::The two got to work and the conversation continued::

THOMAS: Got any Family back home Powers?

::Kael took this opportunity to get to know Mr. Powers
a little better.  He hoped they could work hands on
like this together on more than one occasion::

POWERS: Yeah.  My mom and my dad are still around but
I don?t get to see them or talk to them much anymore.

THOMAS: Yeah.  Such is the life of a Starfleet
officer.  Mine are mostly on active service.  I see
them even less regularly.

::The two completed their configuration changes with
relative ease::

POWERS: There, that should do it.  Let?s give it a
try.

::Ensign Powers again made a pass over the EPS conduit
with his tricorder and this time everything came back
ok.::

POWERS: Looks good.  Let?s test down in engineering
too. =/= Powers to Cristo =/=

CRISTO: =/= Yes sir? =/=

POWERS: =/= We think we?ve fixed it but I want to
make sure.  Can you send a quick surge to the EPS
conduit at junction 64e? =/=

CRISTO: =/= Sure thing =/=

::Max had his tricorder ready.  The surge came and the
EPS conduit handled it perfectly.  Not a single thing
needed to be changed.::

::Kael was quite impressed with Ensign powers
progress. He would fit in well, and be a vital officer
onboard::

POWERS: Good job Lt.  I didn?t know you had a penchant
for engineering.

THOMAS: It was my first duty posting.  I specialized
in it at the academy.  I always like to get my hands
dirty with everyone else.

::Kael reminisced about the days of the academy.  He
had a lot of fun, he did enjoy being taught::

POWERS: I guess you learn something every day, sir.
Maybe I?ll bounce some ideas off you some time.

THOMAS: Now Ensign.  Lets get back to our briefing,
before we are late.

::The two headed back out of the Jeffries tubes.
Always a tight squeeze, Kael thanked his diligence in
his usual gym routine for keeping him in shape.  The
two headed to the turbolift and to the briefing::

:: Harley had sucessfully taken the ship out of port, without making a dent, his nervousness ... His Apprehension was disappearing, A few minutes at Warp and his apprehension flying wise would be gone, He was like this when he first flew a cargo ship and he had to admit to himself that flying the Aurora or any Starfleet vessel was easier then a cargo ship, the newiest systems in automated flight, top notch sensors, as Cmdr Parker had said, the ship pretty much flew herself. ::
 
:: Harley was ordered to take the ship to warp 3, he was guessing that it was going to be a quick run around the block. ::
 
Solan: Ensign Harley, are you seeing a small discrepancy in our Structural Integrity Field output, and our current warp velocity?
:: Josh tapped a few keys, he saw what Solan saw. ::
 
Harley: I'm picking it up, it's just above Starfleet regulations, any suggestions?
 
Solan:  I see. I think we can compensate with a simple realignment.
 
Harley: Yes, If we realine the the SIF, it should drop back to normal.
 
Solan:  Beginning now . . .
 
:: While Solan was doing the realignment, Josh watched his own readings, they slowly dropped to the regulation number. ::
 
Solan: Ensign, please confirm discrepancy solved.
 
Harley: The SIF and warp velocity are normal. Could you keep an eye on it Sir?
 
Solan: ???

Harley: Course and speed laid in Sir.
 
:: Solan made the annoucement, Josh nodded and returned to work. ::
 
(1Hour later - conferance room)
 
:: Parker entered the room, they all stood, she told them to sit down again, and Parker began to tell them what there mission was. ::
 
Parker:  Well, it appears we have our first
assignment.

As you may already be aware we'll be entering the
Caraban system in just over 6 hours.

Caraban II is an "M" class planet, second of 4
orbiting the Caraban star.  The native inhabitants
appear for the most part Terran, with only the
addition of cranial ridges making them distinct.
Technologically speaking they are approximately equal
to 20th century Earth.  And that's our destination.

3 days ago, 2 members of the Federation Observation
team went missing.  We have no details on which
members are missing or the circumstances that led up
to their loss.  The loss was only reported this
morning.  Shortly after a heated report of the
disappearance, contact with the team was lost.

 | ((Deck Three))

::Ensign Powers and Lieutenant Thomas were making
their way back to deck one for the officer briefing.
Personally, Max could not wait to get things started.
He knew his was probably in a little over is head, and
that maybe, just maybe, he had bitten off a little
more than he could chew with this ?gung ho? attitude
he was adopting.::

oO I?m normally not like this.  It must be the
adrenaline. Oo

POWERS: Thanks again for letting me help you sir.  It
feels god to get your hands dirty, you know?

THOMAS: response

::The two stepped into the turbolift and Lt Thomas
gave the desired deck number::

THOMAS: response

::The turbolift took them to deck one in a matter of
seconds.  It was only a few steps from the turbolift
doors to the doors of the conference room were the
briefing was going to be held.  Both Lt Thomas and
Ensign Powers took their seats and waited with
everyone else for Captain Parker to arrive.  While
they waited Ensign Powers was trying to think of
anything he knew about the Caraban system.  Nothing
was coming to mind.  The name didn?t even sound
familiar to him.  He was just going to have to wait
with everyone to find out more about the system they
were headed to.::


((Deck 1 ? Conference Room))

::After just a few minutes she walked through the
doors.  Everyone rose from their seats out of respect
for their commanding officer.::

BETA: response

::Parker encouraged everyone to sit back down so she
could begin the briefing.::

PARKER:  Well, it appears we have our first
assignment.

::She went on the give the rundown of the situation
and what the Aurora?s orders were.  The room was
silent as the Aurora?s CO spoke.  Everyone was
completely focused on Captain Parker and what she had
to say.  After she was done Ensign Powers had a few
questions.  He was sure everyone else did as well.
Ensign Harley spoke first::

HARLEY: Do we know why it took so long for them to
report the disappearance?

PARKER: response

HARLEY: You said that tech speaking, they were 20th
century earth, by the late 20th century we had crude
space travel, we had satellites in orbit, and an
international space station, and had landed on the
moon.

Are the ::It occurred to Josh that Parker hadn't given
them a name, so he improvised:: Caraban's At that
stage?

::Max was curious about this as well.  Early 20th
century Earth was completely different from the latter
part of the century in terms of technological
advancements.::

PARKER: response

::As Captain Parker was answering Ensign Harley?s
questions Max had his ears listening to the answer but
his eyes were scanning the information on the PADD in
front of him.::

POWERS: Ma?am, do we know anything about the members
of the observation team?  Was one of them mad or upset
with the federation?  Did they fight amongst
themselves?  Anything like that to give one of them a
motive to make this an inside job?

PARKER: response

::Something about the mission details was troubling
Max.  He couldn?t shake it.  He decided to ask one of
his other questions.::

POWERS: Do we know who reported the disappearance?  It
seems odd to me that we know two of the five are
missing but not which two.  How it that possible?
Where are the members of the team who didn?t
disappear?

::Max waited for the answer.::

PARKER: response

::Ensign Powers still had more questions, his mind was
full of them, but he decided to let other have a
chance.  Maybe they had picked up on something that he
hadn?t or had a different take on things that would
help with the investigation.::

 | ((Conference Room, Deck One ? USS Aurora))

::Captain Parker was answering all the last minutes
questions and putting the final touches on the
briefing::

PARKER:  Very good.  (standing) If there's nothing
else.  Team leaders get your teams prepared.

::Ensign Powers got a rush of adrenaline.  His first
real mission with Starfleet was about to begin.  Not
only was this going to be his first mission but he was
going to be part of the away team responsible for
setting up communications with Starfleet.  Then young
ensign knew that this was an important piece to the
mission.  Not only that, but he also realized that
there was some potential for danger on the mission.
Something happened to the observation team that caused
their communications to suddenly stop.  The easiest
solution to this was a problem with the technology
that they were unable to fix.  Another answer for
their disappearance was that they were attacked or
somehow forced to leave their post.  Max wondered
about the latter and what could have caused it.  He
heard his name.::

BETA: Ensign Powers and Lt. Thomas meet me in
Engineering in 3 ½ hours to prepare for the mission.
Ensign we may also need a mass data storage device if
we are unable to reconnect the uplink with Starfleet.
Have one prepared.

POWERS: Ok.  I?ll make sure to bring something.

THOMAS: (response)

BETA: Good, we will reconvene later.

((3 ½ Hours TIME WARP ? Engineering))

::After the briefing Max headed back to engineering.
He wanted to get the data storage unit that Lt Cmdr
Beta had asked for.  He also was assembling a few
things that might help them re-establish
communications with Starfleet.  Some tools, some spare
parts, anything he could think of to repair damaged
communications equipment.  The tough part was trying
to limit the amount of stuff to actually pack and
bring along.  He wanted to be flexible but he also had
to account for portability.::

::Max finally felt satisfied with his selections and
looked up from the table he was at, trying to see if
Lt Cmdr Beta or LT Thomas had arrived.  Both were
standing near the entrance of engineering.  Max
grabbed what he was going to bring along and headed
over towards them.::

BETA: Good to see you all have arrived.

::Ensign Powers answered hoping to elicit a smile from
either Lt. Cmdr Beta or Lt Thomas::

POWER: I practically live down here now sir.

THOMAS: response?

::He Stepped to the side.::

BETA: This is Lt. Birk; he will be our security on
this mission.

  POWERS: Nice to meet you.

::Max extended his hand.::

POWERS: Ensign Powers.  Let me know if there?s
anything I can do for you.

THOMAS: response?

BETA: I do not expect any problems but it is Starfleet
regulations to have one with in an away team. What
problems do you for see?

POWERS: Well, I?ve been thinking about it a lot.  I
see two outcomes.  First, a simple communications
malfunction that the observation team has been unable
to fix.  I have a basic kit packed with some tools and
spare parts that might be of assistance.  The second
is that they were forced to leave for some reason.
Whatever forced them to leave could still be there.

::Max turned to Ensign Birk.::

POWERS: You?re the security officer.  Do you think we
have anything to worry about?  I?d love to get your
opinion.

BIRK: reponse?

:: The briefing was winding down, Ideas had been thrown around, they knew more now, and Harley was more confident, although there were still some unanswerd question. ::
 
Parker: Commander Solan will take Lieutenant Dominus and Ensigns Harley and Shiozaki and begin a search for the missing team. Solan, you won't have any problem appearing like any other Caraban, and medical with make what cosmetic changes the rest of the team will
need.
:: The meeting continued, then came to an end, Josh turned to Solan as he spoke. Josh had no questions yet, the mission although difficult wasn't hard to understand, find the missing team and stay undetected. ::
 
:: They headed to sickbay,  Dominus went through the changes first, being a Vulcan the procedure took longer then it would take for a Terren. Harley went next, his facial texture looked different, a more tanned colour but the most shocking difference was the cranal ridges, he felt them and his hand reflexed away instantly sending a slight chill down his spin... he would have to get used to looking different. ::
 
:: Once they were done, they headed there seperate ways, Harley headed to the bridge, he want to sort things out with the crewman at helm, a terren called Sally Hargreaves. Her record spoke for itself, a fine Helmsman who if wanted could become an Officer, Josh hoped she would stay a little longer though ... he needed that experianced person behind him. ::
 
(Bridge - deck1)
 
:: Harley walked over to the helm, where Hargreaves was working, She didn't look up, and didn't stop working. ::
 
Hargreaves: We're in orbit of the moon, keeping on the darkside, a probe will be launched in 5 minutes.
 
Harley: Guess that means the missions going ahead.
 
Hargreaves: Nervous Sir?
 
Harley: Very, Don't surpose you'd like swap places?
 
Hargreaves: I'm happy where I am,

Hargreaves: Besides, If we get in trouble ... I'm the one who'll get us out.
 
:: Josh chuckled, and looked at her. ::
 
Harley: Not if I can help it.

than I expected, and earlier tonight I was at a
funeral.  Pretty full weekend.  Hope this is ok!

((Duck Blind - Planets Surface - Team Beta))

::The team materialised on the surface, behind the
duck blind.  The blind was still operational, however
it was clear the blind itself was failing.  Lt Cmdr
Beta wasted little time getting started.::

BETA: Report, Any life signs?

THOMAS: None sir

SOLAN: Negative, sir. I'm not getting anything.

BETA: There are 2 levels the only exit is on the
ground floor my team and I will search level 2 while
you search here. If you fail to find anything of
significant interest leave the blind and continue on
with you mission to find the missing officers .

SOLAN: Aye, Commander.

BETA: Good, we shall move out.

::The team moved under the relative veil of darkness.
Some sever damage had occurred here.  The cause of the
officers dissappaerace, the team did not know, but it
was apparent, someone had been here::

BETA: Any life signs yet?

::Ensign Powers looked down at his tricorder.::

POWERS: Nothing sir.  I?m only reading our away team
and Lt Commander Solan?s away team.

BETA: Interesting there still maybe something deeper
inside the complex.

::The team moved on, slowly, their wrist lights,
providing the only source of light::

BETA: Mr. Powers, should there not be a ladder in the
vicinity?

POWERS: According to the map that?s coming up on my
tricorder yes.  It looks like it should be just up
ahead a little ways.

BETA: Lead on then.

::Max took the lead and carefully moved forward.  The
blind was in pretty bad shape and Ensign Powers didn?t
know what to expect.  The rookie officer was afraid of
tripping over some fallen debris or running into a
wall while checking his tricorder.  It almost
happened.  Max let out a yell.::

POWERS: Whoah!!!!

::Ensign Powers had found the ladder and had almost
walked into it.  It appeared to be in very bad
shape.::

BETA: I will go first then if it's safe each come
after me. One at a time understood?

::Commander Beta, being the heaviest of the team
decided to go first.  Obviously, if it held his weight
it should no doubt hold the other team members.
Scanning the ladder with his tri-corder, it was well
below its normal integrity, but it would hold them::

BETA: It is fine to climb up. Ensign Powers first,
then Lt. Thomas and Finally Lt. Birk.

POWERS: Yes sir.  Be careful.

::Lt Cmdr Beta moved ever so slowly up the ladder and
Ensign Powers followed.  With every rung he ascended
Max was nervous.  The ladder didn?t feel very steady
and he wasn?t sure if the thing could continue to hold
the weight of the away team.  After a few minutes all
three members had made it to the upper floor.::

BETA: Mr. Powers, since there is no one here, your
first priority is to begin to download all the data in
the banks.

POWERS: Yes sir.  I?ll get on that right away.

::Beta went on the give orders to both Thomas and
Birk.  Powers knelt down to the first console he
found.  He took out to storage unit that he brought
with him and connected it to the console.  He pressed
a few keys and got the data transfer underway.  Lt
Cmdr Beta was trying to establish contact with the
Aurora.::

BETA: Good =/= Beta to Aurora =/=

PARKER: =/= (Garbled response) =/=

BETA: Mister Thomas can you clear that up?

THOMAS: Compensating

PARKER: =/= (response) =/=

BETA: =/= Aye sir, Beta out. =/=

THOMAS: Commander, I can restore the uplink with
Aurora for the moment.  I'll need....about 20 minutes
however to do so.  I'm not sure we have the power
here, to restore uplink with Starfleet via subspace
relays.

BETA: response

THOMAS: If we can upload our database here, into
Aurora, than we can simply had in all information once
were back in starbase.

BETA: response

THOMAS: Yes Commander

::Lt Thomas got to work right away.  Max was impressed
as he watched the other officer work.  He seemed to
know so much about the system.  He didn?t look
stressed or worried.  Calm and collected were the
words that came to Ensign Powers? mind.::

((Timewarp, 19mins))

::Suddenly Lt Thomas spoke.::

THOMAS: Commander, the uplink is restored and
functioning perfectly.  The captain will need to
access the more classified information

oO Uplink restored?  Wow he?s good. Oo

BETA: response

THOMAS: Yes commander.  Sir, if this duck blind fails
Starfleet?s presence here my be exposed.  As of yet we
are unsure if it has been.  I'd like permission to
stay and attempt
to restore its stability.

BETA: response

::Max turned to Lt Cmdr Beta.::

POWERS: Sir, should I continue to transfer the
information from the data banks or should we allow the
Aurora to take what she needs?

BETA: response

::The was a little blip coming from Ensign Powers?
tricorder.  He picked it up to see what it was.  He
just stared.  He gave it a little tap and refreshed
the incoming data just to be sure the information he
was getting was not only accurate but correct.::

POWERS: Sir, I?ve got something.

::Beta came over to see what it was.  There was an
unknown lifesign heading their way.::

IC:
 
(Transporter room - Aurora)
 
 
:: The team gathered in the transporter room. Solan glanced them over. They all had on Caraban garb, and all had been surgically altered to fit into the local populace, they were ready. Josh was Nervous, his first away mission, and he hadn't been on the ship for more then 5 minutes, not even proven his worth to the experianced crew, now was his chance to prove himself, although nervouse he didn't show it except maybe the way he moved from one leg to the other every 2 minutes, and the fact he couldn't still. but other then that he was fine, he never had been able to keep still, Josh had to do something...even if it was just fiddling around with some discarded equipment or object. ::
 
Solan: Team, our mission is to find the missing blind personnel. We have minimal intel on where they are, so we'll just have to search the surrounding territory. After we get out of the blind, we'll head for a nearby town, its possible the missing personnel went there. It's a 
small town, no more than 200 people. Obviously, we'll have to keep our use of technology minimum, keep your tricorders concealed at all times, and DON'T use your phasers unless absolutely necessary.

Once in the town, we'll try to find out something, anything, about 
the missing personnel. Any questions?

Dominus: No questions sir, team is ready to move out on your orders.
 
:: This was true, Josh had gone over the observation teams reports, and files to Starfleet, and was fairly confident about there language, he had memoriorzed their grammer, and although the spelling side of things would let him down, the grammer, how they sounded and pronouced he could do, he just hoped that if the time arose that they had to talk he wouldn't falter or clam up. ::
 
:: They stepped onto the transport pad and were whisked away to the blind. ::
 
(Observation Post - 1st floor)
 
:: The blue light dissovled around Harley, the whine dissappeared, they were in the blind, Josh flipped the tricorder open and made a scan, along with everyone else. There were no life signs, Solan and Beta talked, orders were given. with no-one inside Solan's team moved outside. ::
 
Dominus: Aye sir, suggest individual tricorders should be set on a wide band frequency scanning for one member of the team bio-signal, if the planet is as Starfleet records indicate they should be the only ones with com-badges or alien signatures to that of the planets 
inhabitants.
Harley: Lt, Sir, your Logic is flawed, there's 5 observation team members and only 4 of us, to scan for induvidual members would mean missing one of them, however seeing as two members are Terran I'll scan for both, Williams the Engineer and Pollock the Commanding Officer.
 
Responses (If any)
 
Harley: There is another problem, with us all searching for certain life signs, we won't know if an inhabitant is getting too close or not.

 | (( OOC- I did check with Parker to see if I could do this, I have his permission, any problems tell me, and I'll correct it when I get back on Monday/Tuesday.))
 

(Caraban Town - Seriy)
 
:: Pfet looked at his paper filled desk, for the last 6 hours he had read the reports, he first heard of the sighting's 5 days ago, The goverment put it down to farmers with too much time on their hands, and wanted to liven their lives up, but when a report came in from an on duty town guard, the goverment listened, and Pfet was sent to Seriy with the task of finding out what was really going on, it was a hard task, most of the public didn't know about the sighting's, and those that did thought it was a practical joke, Pfet wasn't laughing, he couldn't believe that aliens would come to Caraban and not say hello, He did believe that there was life out in the stars, but he didn't believe that anyone would come to this planet ... a planet that was only just getting back on it's economy feet after the 60 year war which ended just 40 years ago. ::
 
:: Pfet looked out the window, he had been here 3 days, and their was no other sightings, still he had to investigate, the majority of the sightings came from the Seriy Hills just 200km west of Seriy, it was a hot day, the hottest day so far this year ... and there was still 7 months left. ::
 
Pfet: A heatwave ... thank god.
 
:: M'rund looked up from her table, tiredness showed in her eyes, she could quiet easily go to sleep. ::
 
M'rund: What did you say?
 
Pfet: I was just saying how nice it is to have a heatwave.
 
M'rund: (Grumbling) It's too hot if you ask me, I can't sleep, even with the bay windows open. and the Cold air conditioner.
 
:: Pfet chuckled lightly, and walked over to his colleague and friend. M'rund was from the geffid province, where winter was below freezing and summer was like Seriy Autum, He understood her frustrations, even if he didn't understand them. ::
 
Pfet: So I suppose your going to stay here, while I check out the hills?
 
M'rund: There's no aliens here! Mountains with big gaps in them, then dissappearing and being replaced by the face, A blue alien with 2 anteni. :: M'rund huffed :: It's just a town looking for some glory.
 
Pfet: You may be right, you may be wrong... At least we get an all expenses payed Holiday, so what if we have to do a little bit of work?
 
:: M'rund just roleld her eyes and went back to work, she would be doing the interveiws again, stuck in a very hot, box with no windows, just a solitary light for illumination. ::
 
:: Pfet walked out the balcony and looked over the town, a rough terrain car parked outside, the driver got out, Pfet could see 3 soilders in the back. He turned and walked back in, the heat whacking his face like a hot poker. ::
 
Pfet: They called for a military escort!
 
M'rund: Rather you then me, they shoot anything that moves.
 
:: Pfet walked out the room, leaving M'rund grumbling about Aliens ... and the heat. ::
 
(Seriy town goverment building - outside)
 
:: Pfet looked at the Man standing before him, he had a gleam in his eye, almost murdeous, as if he believed that the Aliens were real, and was ready to kill them, both of them. ::
 
Pfet: I'm Goverment Paranormal investigator, Pfet.
 
Major Hyder: I'm Major Hyder, Your escort, where are we starting from?
 
Pfet: The First sighting, down the second Valley with water, on the east side of Seriy Hills.
 
Hyder: It'll take about 2 hours to get their, and we'll have to walk for another hour, no vehicle could get to that point.
 
Pfet: Come on, I don't have time to waste.
 
:: Pfet, put his shades and hat on, went into the cab, made himself comfortable and promtly fell asleep. ::

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Powers, EO - Heading Our Way
 | ((Duck Blind - Planets Surface - Team Beta))

:: Lt Cmdr Beta?s team had been going over the blind
for a while now, trying to find something that might
help them find the missing Starfleet observation team.
  Any clue would be a big help at this point but the
team was coming up blank.  A tiny blip came up on
Ensign Powers? tricorder.::

POWERS: Sir, I've got something.

BETA: Mr. Powers can you be more specific?

POWER: No, sir.  I?m sorry.  It?s at the outer range
of the tricorder and the signal is too faint to
identify.

BETA: Mr. Thomas, can you use the blind sensor?

THOMAS: Negative.  Sensors are offline

BETA: Okay, Lt.  Thomas, Ensign Powers get them back
online.

THOMAS: Ay sir

::Ensign Powers turned to Lt Thomas::

POWERS: Let?s see what we can do.

BETA: Until the data stream has been fully uploaded we
have to wait to contact the aurora. Mr. Birk, watch
the ladder I do not wish anything to take us by
surprise.

THOMAS: Ensign, I want you to open the converter panel
over there.  I want you to tell me when it fluctuates
into the red.

POWERS: Yes sir.

::From the looks of things it was pretty bad.  It
seemed like a good chunk of the systems inside the
blind had been damaged or destroyed.  It was going to
take a little bit of work to get this done.  Max
opened the panel as he was ordered and kept an eye on
it.  Lt Thomas got to work and wasted little time.

BETA: Have you finished?

THOMAS: Yes Sir.  Brining Sensors online now.

BETA: Good then way I inquire as to what it is?

THOMAS: Powers, check the science station.

::The young ensign moved towards at the science
station, and was working to bring up the results:

POWERS: It doesn?t appear to be humanoid sir.  Some
type of animal.  I?m not sure what kind.  I?ve never
seen it before.

THOMAS: Sir, we cannot give you anymore than that.
Not without more extensive repairs.  How far away is
it Ensign?

::Ensign Powers checked the readings so he could
answer the question.  What he found surprised him.::

POWERS: It?s right on top of us sir!  Just outside the
blind!

::Everyone was on edge.  Max took a step away from the
door and took a defensive pose just incase there was
going to be some kind of fight.  A large, four-legged
creature strolled into the room.  It very closely
resembled a dog from Earth, however it had no tail,
and was hairless.  Kael didn?t' find the creature must
to his taste at all.  Regardless it didn't look
dangerous, and was it seemed like most animals,
hungry::

BETA: Response

THOMAS: Harmless enough.  It appears it is the life
sign we were picking up commander.

BETA: Response

::The team continued to work on stabilizing the blind
it took sometime but eventually Kael was happy it was
stable, when  Kael picked up something on sensors.  It
was outside the blind this time.::

THOMAS: Sir, I think you may want to take a look at
this

::Kael brought up a visual image of his sensor
readings.  It appeared that a large group of people
were heading towards the blind.  Ensign Powers wasn?t
sure what to make of it.  Coincidence?  He thought
not.  Not with the current situation anyway.  The
group was still a little ways off but it still didn?t
leave the away team much time to leave and find a
secure place to hide.::

THOMAS: Sir, how should we proceed?

BETA: Response


OOC: I will add more as soon as I know how the away
team is going to proceed.  I don?t want to overstep my
bounds and inadvertently make a decision about our
next step

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Max Powers, EO - Close Call
 | ((Duck Blind - Planets Surface - Team Beta))

:: After the dog like creature left the room it was
pretty quiet in the blind.  The next few minutes
passed uneventfully, until Lt. Thomas called something
to Lt.Cmdr Beta?s attention.::

THOMAS: Sir, I think you may want to take a look at
this

::Kael brought up a visual image of his sensor
readings.  It appeared that a large group of people
were heading towards the blind..::

THOMAS: Sir, how should we proceed?

BETA: We can not allow them to find the blind it would
break the prime directive if found. How long until
they arrive?

THOMAS: (response)

BETA: We do not have that long. Mr. Thomas does this
base have a basic outside holographic projector?

THOMAS: (response)

BETA: Good. ::Beta point to the map to show an area
they would reach in the next 9 or 10  minutes.:: Could
you create a fake holo-image of  rock face there?

THOMAS: (response)

BETA: Where is the broken generator?

THOMAS: (response)

BETA: Okay, please transfer the location to Mr.
Powers? tricorder we shall repair it.

POWERS: ::After his tricorder beeped:: OK I have the
location of the generator sir.

::Ensign Powers and Lt Cmdr Beta moved quickly through
the blind as they made their way towards the
generator.  The blind had two holographic systems.
There was one internal system and another for the
external.  Each of the holographic systems had their
own generator nearby which meant that Ensign Powers
and Lt Cmdr Beta were heading outside.  This normally
wouldn?t be a problem except for the fact that Lt Cmdr
Beta?s team did not have the alterations made their
enable them to blend in with the native inhabitants of
the Caraban system.  Just as the two reached the door
to the outside they noticed a coat rack with two
cloaks hanging from it.::

oO The observation team must have used these whenever
they left the blind Oo

::Beta handed Powers one of the two cloaks and Max put
it on with little hesitation.::

BETA: Does it fit you well ensign?

POWERS: Well enough I suppose.

BETA: Good now remember we are to avoid all contact
with these people if are found avoid looking them in
the face.

POWERS: Yes, sir.

::They moved out running down the hill quickly. On the
way Beta hit his combadge and made contact with Lt
Thomas back in the blind.::

BETA: =/= Beta to Thomas how long do we have? =/=

THOMAS: =/=  (response) =/=

BETA: =/= Contact Commander Parker an advise if they
get to close to the blind. Beta out =/=

::As they drew with in 5 or 6 meters of the generator
they violently slowed down.  Mr. Powers was the teams
only hope.  If this failed it would result breaking
the prime directive. The dry hard dust and rocks were
hard on the feat every second they where getting
closer and
closer they halted as they reached it.::

BETA: Mr. Powers, you have 3 minutes 45 seconds to
repair it.

POWERS: I don?t know if that?s enough time sir.

BETA: Do not worry I consider you, one of the finest
Engineering officer I have met. Now what do you need,
for the moment ensign, give me the orders.

::Hearing those words gave Ensign Powers a new sense
of self confidence.  He began to feel like he could do
it.::

POWERS: Ok then.  Um . . . best bet is probably to
keep an eye on the group heading our way.  Keep me
updated on their location and how much time I have
left.

::Max got down to business.  The generator didn?t seem
to be in bad shape.  That was a bad sign.  It wasn?t
going to be easy to figure out what was wrong.  Max
tried to turn the thing on just to get some initial
readings and noticed that the power level was low.::

POWERS: =/= Powers to Thomas =/=

THOMAS: =/= response =/=

POWERS: Are you reading low power levels for the outer
generator on your end?  I can?t seem to get enough
power out here.

THOMAS: =/= reponse =/=

POWERS: =/= Thanks =/=

::Almost immediately the generator came to life.  More
power was all it needed.  Max moved on to the
projector.  Max flipped a switch and it came to life.
There was a image being projected in front of the
blind but it was fuzzy and it kept jumping.::

POWERS: This doesn?t look good sir.  There seems to be
enough power but somehow the actual projection in out
of alignment.  The mirrors it uses to project the
image are highly sensitive and require specialized
equipment to align.

BETA: response

POWERS: Understood sir.  I?ll do what I can.

::Max took out his tricorder and placed in so it was
constantly scanning the projection portion of the
hologram system.  With one eye fixed on the tricorder
and the other on the actual system itself Max tried to
align the projector as best he could.  The image on
the blind would fade and then come back, nothing
constant or steady.

BETA: response

::Time was running out.  The group was getting close.
Max was beginning to have second thoughts.  It was
going to be a close call, a lot closer than he or
anyone else would have liked it to be.  Suddenly there
was a voice.::

RIA: You there!  In the cloak!

::It was a guard, probably from the search party.
Both Beta and Powers knew that the guard was referring
to them.  The turned towards them but kept their faces
down for fear of being recognized as ?aliens?.::

RIA: Yes you.  Both of you.  Have you seen anything
unusual out here?

BETA: response

RIA: Nothing you say?

BETA: response

::While Beta kept the guard busy by answering the
questions Max kept working on the projectors.  Beta
had brilliantly turned the guard ever so slightly away
so that Max could slip away unseen by the guard.  It
still wasn?t working yet and lucky for them the guard
hadn?t turned around yet otherwise he would have seen
the blind in full view.  After another minute of work
the image of a mountain side flashed up against the
side of the blind, completely camouflaging it.::

RIA: Hmm . . . what?s the deal with the cloaks?  Isn?t
it a little warm to be wearing them?

POWERS: We were in an accident not to long ago and our
skin in very sensitive to the light from the sun.  We
get terrible rashes and it?s very painful.  Our doctor
said it?s best to wear cloaks like this for
protection.

RIA: Well why are you all the way out here?  Shouldn?t
you be at home recovering?

POWERS: Mountain air should do us good.  Better air
out here you know.  Might help us recover faster.

::The guard seemed to believe the story.  Between the
two officers, Beta and Powers had come up with some
quick thinking.  Ria, the guard, put a device to his
mouth that resembled an old 20th century
walkie-talkie.::

RIA: Lt Ria to Major Hyder. Nothing over here Major
Hyder.  Just two locals milling about.  I?m heading
back your way.  ::Ria turned back to Beta and Powers::
I?m sorry to hear about your accident.  I hope you get
better soon.  Be careful out here.  You should
probably head back to town.  We?re tracking some . . .
::he didn?t want to give too much information away::
something very dangerous out here in this area.  We?re
no sure what we?re dealing with so be careful.

::With that Lt Ria walked away back towards the rest
of the search party.::

POWERS: It seems as though their fanning out sir.  He
was all by himself.  The fact that he was by himself
suggests that they don?t take the observation team to
be very dangerous.  Although I doubt we?ve seen the
last of this search party.  What now?

::Solan and Harley were contacting the Aurora. They needed orders on 
what to do next.::

SOLAN: =/=Solan to Aurora, please come in. =/=

PARKER: =/= Aurora here. How goes it Commander?
=/=

SOLAN: =/= Captain, we may have a problem. =/=

:: Harley heard Parker's voice, welcome voice after all that had happend.::

PARKER: =/= What kind of problem Solan? =/=

HARLEY: =/= It's Hectic down here Ma'am =/=

SOLAN: =/= A really, really big problem. =/=

::Solan went on to describe the situation on the
planet, how it seemed a premature first contact had
been made. He ended off by explaining about the
communicator in the possession of the farmer.::

PARKER: =/= I'll agree that the possession of the
communicator by the locals is a problem and must be
recovered.

As for the possibility of a premature first contact, I
can't agree based simply on local superstition. Earth
of the 20th century had many scares with alien
invasions ... all were fakes or imaginations. =/=

HARLEY: =/= Caused a lot of panic, hysteria and conspiracy therories, Little green men from saturn...or was it mars? =/=

SOLAN: =/= Orders, ma'am? =/=

PARKER: =/= Recover that comm badge ... and continue
your search. Parker out. =/=
::Solan grimaced visibly and pressed two fingers against the 
bridge of his nose, Josh knew how he was feeling::

HARLEY: Nothing too hard then.
:: He tried to lighten the mood, but it was useless, the situation was grime, and wasn't going to be easy to rectify ... all they could do was think of a way to get that comm-badge. ::

SOLAN: Yeah, we need to get that communicator back. ::Solan lowered 
his hand to his side to look at the Ensign.::

Any ideas?

HARLEY: First, I suggest we find him, we can discuss 'How' and 'When', as we're walking. 
SOLAN: ???
:: They set off from their secure place and headed back towards the farmland, they were silent, both of them contemplateing the problem ahead of them, sure they could stun him...but that was not only against orders but make things alot worse, Josh's eyes darted from store to store looking at what was on offer, amulats, mantle peices, pictures, food etc, and of course tall green aliens from the next planet over. ::
HARLEY: Thats interesting.
SOLAN: ???
:: Josh picked up the paper, The alien text was not terren language, indeed if he hadn't of read how to read the Caraban language, he wouldn't of been able to say what was on offer at all ... as for speaking, thank god for the universal translator. ::
HARLEY: It says something about goverment paranormal investigaters are in town.
SOLAN: ??? 

:: To Joshua an answer had been placed on their laps, but it didn't solve all the problems. ::

Hyder: You should of stayed in the jeep, your not cut out for this.
 
Pfet: What? An miltary man?
 
:: Hyder laughed, he found what Pfet said a joke. ::
 
Hyder: 60 years war killed alot of people ... alot of servicemen, as it stands anyone can join the military, whether there cut out for it or not!
 
:: Hyder let go of Pfet, and carried on walking ahead, he shouted over his shoulder. ::
 
Hyder: Your not cut out for these mountains!
 
:: Pfet mumbled under his breath, he was not a fighting man, he didn't have the strengh or the ability, but Hyder had been pushing Pfet to his limits, there was only so much a man could take. ::
 
Hyder: Alright men, Fan out, you know what to do, keep your guns trained and eyes open,
 
:: They moved away, leaving Hyder and Pfet alone, they walked in silence for what seemed like hours, a call came in over the radio. Hyder didn't reply, he just looked fed up, but to Pfet ... it caused interest, maybe they were alien hunters? what if they had something that Pfet needed? ::
 
:: Pfet carried on stumbling over loose rocks and stones, it didn't matter, they had to get to thier destination before dark, then Pfet could start doing his job. ::

DOMINUS: Akiyo this is not good, we cannot allow that
toy to be purchased, if my tricorder is correct then
Doctor Voran Grees' tricorder and combadge are inside
that toy?

SHIOZAKI: (shocked) Why would he put them in that?

DOMINUS:  I believe the best course of action although
the least covert would be to have the Aurora get a
transporter lock on the toy and us and beam us
directly to the science department where I can analyse
the bear and the tricorder.

SHIOZAKI: A disappearing toy would cause quite some
commotion.

DOMINUS:  response

PARKER:  Perhaps if we arranged for some kind of
diversion while it was beamed away.  The locals would
simply believe someone had stolen it.

DOMINUS: You stay here Akiyo I will make contact with
the Aurora, if someone purchases the toy follow them
and keep a shadow distance, if it comes to it use a
level 1 stun from the stun baton. Then communicate
with the Aurora and get yourself aboard. Understood

Voran's tricorder and combadge inside an Andorian
plush toy, the Aurora should be able to focus on
our combadge signal and bring us and the toy back
aboard for further investigation =/=

PARKER:  =/= Is the surrounding area secured.. I
can't have you beamed out of a crowd.  Starfleet would
have a fit. =/=

DOMINUS:  =/= Negative ma'am but we could make a small diversion
possibly a level one phaser on overload, myself and Shiozaki will
arrange it and I will contact you during the incident. Dominus out. =/
=

PARKER:  =/= Very well, make your diversion and
contact us then.  I'll have the transporter room stand
by.  Aurora out. =/=

::Akiyo had watched several people examine the strange
toy, but none had purchased it ... it seemed more
oddity then anything else.::

::Dominus strolled casually out of the ally way, this was the second
away mission in which he had to dress in native garb... he only had
one complaint? the costumes were always so inefficient. He had
designed the costumes himself, based on the records in the ships
databanks.  Not that it mattered he wasn't intending too get into any
fights or need to run anywhere. Dominus carried on and walked up to
the Ensign who was casually watching the toy. He placed a hand on her
shoulder and she span round in surprise.  The Vulcan raised his
eyebrow slightly and began to talk in a whisper.::

DOMINUS: ::whispers:: We are needed to create a minor distraction in
order for the Aurora to get the toy aboard.  Cmdr. Parker has agreed
to the use of overloading a level 1 phaser to cause a sufficient
explosion.  During this time we are to contact the aurora and have
them beam the toy directly to science.  We will the leave the town
and return aboard ourselves for a brief while and then return to help
find the other members.

SHIOZAKI: RESPONSE

DOMINUS: Very well.  Lets begin.

::Dominus walked back down into the alley way flanked by Shiozaki.
He looked around and made sure the area was secure and then pulled
out his phaser and set it to overload.  He and Shiozaki casually left
the alley way and started strolling around the market. A few seconds
later a loud bang was heard and the crowds of people near the market
stall all started panicking and screaming::

DOMINUS: =/= Dominus to Aurora, diversion complete get the bear out
of there.=/=

::With a little bit of quick thinking and a whole lot
of improvisation Beta?s away team was able to restore
the holographic projector.  Ensign Powers still wasn?t
sure how it all happened but it did.  The unexpected
encounter with the local authorities only made it more
interesting.  Max was beginning to enjoy the pressure
a little bit.  The adrenaline that was coursing
through his body only moments ago was leveling off and
he was returning to a more normal and calm state of
mind.::

BETA: Mr. Thomas, Mr. Powers well done.  For the
moment we should not be discovered.

THOMAS: It was the ensigns quick thinking really.

POWERS: I?m not taking all the credit.  You definitely
did your part here in the blind.

BETA: Well again well done. Cmdr. Parker has ordered
us to find a rare fruit, it's a small red berry. Mr.
Powers, Mr. Thomas can you locate it?

THOMAS: Not currently.  I'll need to patch into the
subsidiary sensors systems.

BETA: Good. Could you set up a link to the blind's
sensors this should give us a larger scanning range.

THOMAS: I'll need a few moments::

::Lt Thomas turned around to work on the sensors a
little bit when suddenly there was an incoming
transport taking place.  Nobody was expecting it.
Naturally, everyone jumped a little bit but it was
Thomas who seemed to jump a little more than the
others.  When the transport was finished there was a
Starfleet ensign standing in front of the group.::

CALHAN: Oh, I'm sorry Lieutenant. Captain didn't tell
you I'm coming?

THOMAS: Never mind.  You arrived not long ago Ensign?

CALHAN: Yes, I'm the fresh one. Does it show?

::The two shook hands, the doctor had a firm grip::

CALHAN: Doctor Jophry Calhan. Lt. Thomas, isn't it?
Quite peculiar scenery for introductions.

BETA: Ensign welcome to the blind.  Not the best place
to be right now.

CALHAN: Oh, boy. That was quite an entrance, Sir.


BETA: I am sorry I did not mean to frighten you,
strange the aurora only detect Lt. Thomas. Most likely
interference, by the way why are you here?

CALHAN: Must be this interference you mention. I asked
for the fruit so Captain Parker sent me to look for
it.

BETA: I see, so you are the one that want this berry.
Well myself and Mr. Powers where attempting to locate
it.

CALHAN: I see you do not waste time. May I be of
assistance?

BETA: Your help would be much appreciated.

CALHAN: Glad to hear there's place for me here.

THOMAS: Commander I've re-established sensor imagery.
You should be able to scan far enough to locate some
plant life forms.  Doctor, if you could assist Ensign
Powers with the specifics of the Berry, we can cut our
time in half.

POWERS: Thanks Lieutenant.

::Max turned to the doctor.::

POWERS: Do you happen to have any information about
these berries that I could input into the computer to
help scan for the berries.

CALHAN: response

POWERS: Oh anything really.  If you had a sample that
would be best.  If you know anything about the
signature it has that would help.  Just something that
the sensors can lock onto.

CALHAN: response

POWERS: Perfect.  Let me add that information and see
what comes up.

::Ensign Powers turned back to his console and added
the data that the doctor had given him and started the
scan.  While the scan was going on Max took the
opportunity to introduce himself.::

POWERS: Hey.  By the way, I?m Ensign Max Powers.  It?s
nice to meet you.

CALHAN: response

POWERS: If you have any questions you can definitely
ask.  I only arrived on the Aurora a short while
before you did so we?re in the same boat.  I?m sure
we?ll be spending some time together as we get used to
our new ship and our new roles in Starfleet.

CALHAN: response

OOC: Please feel free to continue the conversation as
long as you want.  I will backsim as needed.

::It only took a few moments for the results to come
back.::

POWERS: Bingo!  I think we?ve found it.

THOMAS: Sir, it is a short walk from here.  Our
communications with Victory have also been restored
commander; our datastream transfer is complete.

CALHAN: Victory? Are we assisted by another ship on
this mission?

::Ensign Powers smiled.  He had caught the mistake as
well.  Trying to save Lt Thomas any kind of
embarrassment he whispered in Doctor Calhan?s ear.::

POWERS: He means the Aurora.  Lt Thomas transferred
from the Victory.  Actually, a lot of the crew of the
Aurora came from the Victory.

::Ensign Calhan gave a nod to indicate that had
understood.  Max turned to Commander Beta.::

POWERS: Sir, I?ve downloaded the location of the
berries that Doctor wants to my tricorder.  Should the
doctor and I go look for them and see if we can bring
them back?

BETA: response

OOC: I?m going to assume that you will want us to
locate the berries ourselves so that?s where I?m
taking this sim.  If not then change this next part as
you want or need to

POWERS: Ready doctor?

CALHAN: response

::Max grabbed two of the brown robes that he and
Commander Beta had been wearing earlier ? one for
himself and one for Doctor Calhan.::

POWERS:  You?ll want to put this on.  It will help
disguise us a little bit while we?re outside the
blind.

CALHAN: response

POWERS: Here we go.

OOC: I just wanted to start off with a little backsim
of the conversation

::Things were going well so far.  Ensign Jophry Calhan
seemed nice enough and definitely competent.  When
Ensign Powers asked for something that would help in
the scanning of the berries he wasn?t expecting as
much information as the good doctor had provided.  Max
knew that if he ever got injured he would have nothing
to worry about.  The whole crew was in good hands.
While they waited for the scan Max tried to get a
little small talk going to help break the ice.::

POWERS: If you have any questions you can definitely
ask.  I only arrived on the Aurora a short while
before you did so we?re in the same boat.  I?m sure
we?ll be spending some time together as we get used to
our new ship and our new roles in Starfleet.

CALHAN: Thanks. I didn't expect such a warm welcome.
I'll try not to fail any of you.

::Ensign Powers was kind of surprised by the
seriousness of Doctor Calhan?s response.  From the
look that came across Doctor Calhan?s face he
surprised himself a little bit.::

POWERS: Don?t worry.  We?re all going to make a few
mistakes but that doesn?t mean we?ve failed.  Let?s
keep an eye out for each other.  Us new guys got to
stick together, help each other out.  I?ll give you
any little tips I catch a long the way.

CALHAN: And same to you. I'm already feeling better.



OOC: Now to move forward!

(Time Warp)


POWERS: Sir, I?ve downloaded the location of the
berries that Doctor wants to my tricorder.  Should the
doctor and I go look for them and see if we can bring
them back?

BETA: Okay, but you both must report in every 5
minutes.

POWERS: Ready doctor?

CALHAN: Of course.

::As the to ensign departed Beta turned to Lt.
Thomas.::

BETA: Keep them in sensor range, and keep scanning
ahead of them I do not wish to have and surprises.

::Max grabbed two of the brown robes that he and
Commander Beta had been wearing earlier ? one for
himself and one for Doctor Calhan.::

POWERS:  You?ll want to put this on.  It will help
disguise us a little bit while we?re outside the
blind.

CALHAN: Local customs? I hope we meet none.

::Doctor put the robe on quickly.::

POWERS: Here we go.

CALHAN: What's the chance of the encounter?

POWERS: I think we?ll be ok.  Earlier Commander Beta
and I ran into one member of a search team just
outside the blind but he left.  I don?t think they?ll
come back this way.  If we do run into them it might
require a little fast talking.

CALHAN: I'll do my best. But I am not a linguist.

::Max smiled and tried to make a joke.::

POWERS: Well we?re in trouble then because neither am
I.

::The two headed out the door of the blind and headed
around back, trying not to disturb the hologram
projected image that was displayed across the front of
the blind.  Max poked his head around the corner first
to see if there was anyone walking around.::

POWERS: I don?t see anybody.  Are you picking anything
up on your tricorder?

CALHAN: response

POWERS: Ok.  We should try to go around it.  I could
be an animal but why risk it.  We should probably try
to avoid using the paths as much as possible.

::The two headed off towards the location of the
berries.  The ground was hard and dusty.  As little
wisps of wind came through the mountainous region the
loose dirt on the top of the ground was lifted into
the air.  It was getting later in the evening and one
of the suns around the planet was setting, creating a
brilliant array of colors along the horizon.  Clouds
lit up different shades of red and purple while the
once blue sky took on an orange hue.  It was a
beautiful scene.  For a brief moment it reminded him
of home and spending warm summer evenings our back
watching the sun set and trying to catch fireflies.
Simpler times then.  He was enjoying Starfleet but at
the exact moment he felt a little homesick.::

CALHAN: response

::Max snapped back into the current situation.::

POWERS: I?m sorry, what was that?

CALHAN: response

POWERS: Oh right, the berries are just up ahead.  Keep
an eye out for anyone or anything.

CALHAN: response

::As they came to the edge of a large bush that they
were behind Ensign Powers checked his tricorder to see
if anyone was on the other side.  The screen of his
tricorder showed two life forms standing still.::

POWERS: :: in a whisper:: Do you read the same thing?

::Ensign Powers showed Doctor Calhan his tricorder and
the doctor confirmed the readings.::

POWERS: Ok.  We better contact Beta and see what he
wants us to do. =/= Ensign Powers to Commander Beta

BETA: response

POWERS: =/= Life signs sir.  Two of them. =/=

BETA: response

POWERS: =/= No, the tricorder doesn?t show us who it
is.  I?m afraid to look because I don?t want to be
spotted.  Can you pick up anything from the blind?s
sensors? =/=

BETA: response

POWERS: =/= Here.  Transmitting our coordinates now.

::The two young officers were sitting on the ground,
trying to avoid detection by whatever was on the other
side of the bush they were hiding behind.  Their
tricorders were not working properly for some reason.
Ensign Powers couldn?t figure out what would be
causing the problems.  The best he could come up with
was some sort of interference from the planet?s
magnetic field.  No matter the reason things weren?t
right with the tricorders and Ensigns Powers and
Calhan were going to have to wait until Commander Beta
got back to them with the information they needed.  It
was Doctor Calhan who broke the silence.::

CALHAN: How long till we get the readout?

POWERS: Depends.  As long as the sensors are working
back at the blind it shouldn?t take that long.  If
they?re encountering the same problems we are it could
be a while.  They might not even be able to get us a
reading.

CALHAN: Do we absolutely must go this way?

POWERS: According to the scan I did before we left
yes.  These are the only berries in the area that the
blind?s sensors could pick up.

::Jo glanced at his tricorder and got stiff.::

CALHAN: They're closing on us.

POWERS: Quick!  Hide!

::The two officers jumped underneath the bush they
were hiding behind.   The branches hung low and the
pointy ends scratched their faces as they climbed
underneath.::

oO No time to complain now Max, just deal with it.
You have a doctor here with you.  He can fix those
scratches when it?s safe. Oo

::Looking from under the bush Calhan and Powers could
see two sets of feet.  One set was wearing large,
thick, black boots with a leathery texture.  The other
was wearing brown boots of the same material.  Both
sets of feet looked dusty as if they had been walking
for some time of the dusty mountain terrain.  The
steps were coming closer and the voices were getting
louder as well.::

VOICE 1: Are you sure you heard something?

VOICE 2: Yes.  It sure sounded like something was on
this side of the bush.

VOICE 1: I don?t see anything.  It was probably just
the wind.

VOICE 2: Yeah.  You?re probably right.

::The two sets of dusty boots were right next to the
bush.  Max closed his eyes and the dust clouds that
got kicked up from their walking floated underneath
the bush and into his eyes.  A little bit got into his
nose and Max began to fight off a sneeze.  As quietly
as he could he reached up and pinched his noise
closed, hoping to stifle the sneeze.  Doctor Calhan
looked and Ensign Powers and saw the sneeze coming and
simply closed his eyes and held his breath for there
was nothing he could do but hope that Ensign Powers
was able to fight off the urge.  Slowly the need to
sneeze faded away and the young Ensign let out a quiet
but relieved sigh.  Suddenly there was another problem
though.::

BETA: Interesting. =/= Beta ensign Powers they are
((OOC: insert Thomas)). =/=

VOICE 1: What was that?

VOICE 2: See!  I knew I heard something!

::Max reached up and covered his comm badge with his
hands hoping to muzzle the voice of Lieutenant
Commander Beta.  Max looked out from underneath the
bush and see the two feet scurrying about, trying
desperately to find where the voice was coming from.::

VOICE 2: It sounded like it was right next to us.

VOICE 1: I don?t see anything though.

VOICE 2: Keep looking.  Who knows what it is.

::Ensign Powers and Doctor Calhan just looked at each
other not knowing what to do next.  It sounded like
the two voices from the outside were looking through
the bushes in the area now, still trying to find the
cause of the voice they had heard.  Lt. Comdr Beta
spoke again since Ensign Powers had not responded to
his original transmission.::

BETA: =/= response =/=

::Ensign Powers could not make out with his superior
was saying.  His hand was muffling the speaker and
doing a pretty good job.  Not good enough though, for
this time the two sets of feet outside the bush
stopped moving.  They stayed where they were.  Max
figured that the two people were looking at each other
and trying to figure out their plan with out talking.
Slowly the feet made their way towards the bush.  Max
tapped Doctor Calhan on the shoulder and pointed to
the other side of the bush from where the feet were
coming.  The two Starfleet officers slid out from the
bush just and the two people outside the bush pulled
the bush aside to look underneath.::

VOICE 1: Weird.  I could have sworn that noise came
from under the bush.

VOICE 2: Yeah.  It sounded like it was right there.  I
wonder what?s going on.

::Powers and Calhan had ended up on the other side of
the bush but right on the main path running through
that part of the mountain.  Ensign Powers was
whispering now.::

POWERS: We need to head that way.

::He was pointing across the path.::

POWERS: It looks like there?s cover on the other side
of that tree.

::The two officers made a break for it.  They ran
quietly and bent over, running and closely to the
ground as possible.  They got past the tree and behind
more cover without being noticed.  Max decided to let
Lt Cmdr Beta know what was going on.::

POWERS: =/= Ensign Powers to Lieutenant Commander
Beta =/=

BETA: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/=Sorry sir.  The two people we came across
almost found us.  Doctor Calhan and I were hiding
underneath a bush to avoid detection.  I couldn?t
reply otherwise they would have found us. =/=

BETA: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= No sir.  I don?t believe they saw us.
We?ve crossed to the other side of the path.  Should
we continue towards the berries? =/=

BETA: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= Yes sir.  Powers out. =/=

::Max turned to Doctor Calhan.::

POWERS: You heard the man.  Let?s go.

((Surface, Caraban-TEAM SOLAN))

SOLAN: ::Solan closed the channel with Dominus and turned to Harley. 
The Lieutenant would be arriving soon:: We've got
a few minutes until he comes, got any ideas on how to approach him?


HARLEY: Nothing new, I still say impersonating a GPI is our best bet ... at least for a bit.

::Dominus and Ensign Shiozaki appeared not far away from Harley and 
Solan. They quickly met up to form a plan.::

DOMINUS: Lt. Cmdr Solan good to see you? I take it you have a course
of action already?

HARLEY: Half a plan.

SOLAN: ::Solan frowned slightly and looked at the barn where Loshe 
had disappeared.:: I'm working on it.
DOMINUS/SHIOZAKI: (Response)

SOLAN: ::Solan pointed at Dominus and Shiozaki.:: You two should 
search his house, my tricorder isn't picking anyone up inside, and 
I'm not seeing any kind of a security system. We want to find the 
comm.-badge, and any other Starfleet technology he's got.

DOMINUS/SHIOZAKI: (Response)

SOLAN: When you're done, contact us and we'll compare findings.

DOMINUS/SHIOZAKI: (Response)

SOLAN: Mr. Harley and I will confront Mr. Loshe...somehow.

:: Harley pulled the paper out from his pocket, he hadn't ment to steal it, but they had been in such a hurry he hadn't put it down ... still no-one seemed to notice. He began to read through the pages trying to see if there was anything usefull in it. He didn't know the entire Caraban language and some bits didn't make sense..to him, Josh belatedly replied. ::
HARLEY: I'm working on it.

SOLAN: Mr. Dominus, wait until we're inside the barn and talking to 
him. It wouldn't do for him to come out and find you two in his 
house.

DOMINUS/SHIOZAKI: (Response)

SOLAN: Let's go.

DOMINUS/SHIOZAKI: (Response)

SOLAN: ::Harley and Solan strode quickly towards the barn.

They would have to find a way to convince Loshe to tell them where 
he had found the comm.-badge, and if he had anything else from 
Starfleet, without revealing that they knew a lot more about the 
situation than he did. It would take some careful maneuvering.::

Mr. Harley, we'll try the government agent ploy first, see what we 
can get.

HARLEY: May I suggest I do the talking. 

SOLAN: ::They arrived at the barn, and Solan knocked on the door, 
which was half open already.::

Excuse me? Mr. Loshe?

LOSHE: ::Loshe had been feeding some animals that were in pens in 
the barn, he seemed startled by the knock at the door. He turned 
around.::

Yes? I'm Loshe, what's this about?

HARLEY: I'm Agent Harley and this is Agent Solan, We're on attachment to Agents M'rund and P'feet.

LOSHE: ???

did well out there.

::Lieutenant Thomas turned to Lieutenant Commander
Beta and the two had a discussion about the berries.
Lt Thomas expressed his concern about the science
facilities and their capabilities at the blind and
suggested that the research be done back aboard the
Aurora.  Everyone in the room seemed to agree.  The
voice of the Aurora?s captain came loud and clear over
Lt Commander?s comm badge.::

PARKER:  =/= Good, secure the blind and return with
your team to the ship. =/=

BETA: =/= Aye sir. =/=  Mr. Thomas set the blind on

BETA: Good is every one ready to go?

::The entire group just nodded in agreement.::


BETA: =/= Beta to aurora 4 to beam up. =/=

OOC: Maybe I missed something along the way but what
happened to Birk?  Wasn?t he in the blind also?

::The Blind was absorbed in a blue haze, and in a
blink of a eye it was replaced by the Aurora?s
transported room.::



((Transporter Room - Deck 2 - USS Aurora))

::The team materialized once again in Aurora's
transporter room.  The ship?s captain was there
waiting for them as they materialized.  She
congratulated the team on their work and got them up
to speed a little bit on what was going on and what
Lieutenant Commander Solan?s away team had found.  She
was gave out a few new orders.  There was a patient
for Doctor Calhan to attend to and work for everyone
else.::

PARKER:  Lieutenant, I want you and Mister Powers to
start examining the data from the blind and see if you
can find any hint to what happened.

THOMAS: ::Looking at the Ensign:: We'll get straight
on it.

::Ensign Powers and Lt. Thomas made their way to
engineering to collate and analyze the datastream
obtained from the duck blind::



((Main Engineering - Deck 7))

THOMAS: Ensign, begin decrypting the data, using all
standard Starfleet encryptions.

POWERS: Yes sir.

THOMAS: This could take a while.  I'll begin compiling
a search algorithm to narrow down the search somewhat.

POWERS: Good idea.  We might want to include something
about the berries.  See if there were any personal log
entries talking about the food they ate or things of
that nature.  Just to go along with Doctor Calhan?s
theory.

THOMAS: This will take some time Ensign.  I'm going to
grab something
to drink, you want anything?

POWERS: Um.  Sure.  Bring me back whatever you?re
having.

::Lt. Thomas nodded and headed out the door in search
of food and drinks.  Max thought he might be a little
nervous about being left in charge of the search but
he wasn?t.::

oO I guess I?m getting used to this Starfleet thing Oo

::Slowly some results poured in.  Nothing useful, only
superficial results from the beginning of the data
that the away team had transferred.  Ensign Powers
expected a few results like this.  There was always
bound to be some information and data that the
computer extracted that had little or no relevance
other than a few of the matches keywords or phrases.::

::Suddenly something a little more interesting flashed
up on the screen.  Then another.  Belong long the
computer seemed to be finding all sorts of useful
entries that could help them figure out what happened
at the blind.  Ensign Powers spun around in his chair
and was reaching for his comm badge to contact Lt
Thomas when he saw him walking through the doors of
main engineering with food in hand.::

POWERS: Talk about good timing sir.  You?re going to
want to see this.

::Lt. Thomas hurried over to the young Ensign to see
what was coming up on the screen.::

surveillance footage picked up by the internal

the footage you could see the observation team jumping
around like monkeys and climbing on all the equipment.
  They were pointing to random spots in the air and
yelling only there was nothing in the footage where
they were pointing.  Phasers came out and they were
sometimes shooting at these invisible intruders and
other times it seemed as if they were shooting at each
other.::

THOMAS: What does this say to you ensign?

POWERS: It looks like they?ve all gone . . . crazy or
something.

THOMAS: I agree.  Something drove these people mad.

POWERS: Let?s let the captain know.

THOMAS: =/= Lt Thomas, to Commander Parker =/=

PARKER: =/= Parker here, go. =/=

THOMAS: =/= Commander, I believe I've found some
interesting data in the stream, that you would find
interesting.  It appears, the occupants of the blind,
in fact, did most of the damage themselves. =/=

PARKER: =/= I'll take that into account.  Anything
else? =/=

THOMAS: =/= Yes commander, they appear to have been
driven mad =/=

PARKER: =/= That is very interesting.  Send the data
up to my ready room if you please. =/=

THOMAS: =/= Aye commander. I'll forward the
information to your ready room.  There is also some
classified personnel logs here.  Your clearance may
work on them.  I'll patch them through also. =/=

PARKER: =/= Very good, continue your search and keep
me informed.  Parker out. =/=

::Ensign Powers was watching Lt Thomas throughout the
conversation.  When it was done a look came over his
face that Max couldn?t quite figure out.

THOMAS: Good work ensign.  It appears your having a
great deal of success today.  Now, let?s get to work.

::The two officers continued to pour through the data
hoping to find a clue as to what caused this sudden
hysteria among the observation team.  Ensign Powers
was putting his hope in Doctor Calhan?s theory of the
berries and included that as one of the parameters in
his searches.  Results seemed to be abundant now.  The
computer was finding all kinds of personal log entries
that contained references to berries.  The only thing
that confused Ensign Powers was the timeline.  He
wasn?t sure how long the team had been on the planet?s
surface but he figured it was for some time.  It
didn?t make sense to him how they could be there for
so long and for the berries to take effect just
recently.  It seemed as more questions got answered
those answers brought about new questions.::

POWERS: Look at this!  The computer has found all
kinds of log entries dealing with the berries.
Everyone was talking about it.  Each member of the
observation team has several entries talking about it.

THOMAS: response

POWERS: Right.  I?ll send these to Captain Parker as
the computer finds them.

::These was a long pause as the two continued to work.
  Max played with the delay of the berries effect in
his head, rolling the idea around over and over but he
didn?t have any ideas that made sense.::

POWERS: What?s your take on the berry thing?

THOMAS: response

POWERS: I mean, do you think they caused this sudden
hysteria?

THOMAS: response

POWERS: But why the delay?

THOMAS: response

POWERS: What I mean is, the away team was down there
for so long.  Why did the berries just have this
effect?

THOMAS: response

POWERS: I don?t doubt that it was the berries.  They
seem to make the most sense.  Just the timing seems
off and I want to make sure that we?re covering all of
our bases.

THOMAS: response

POWERS: All I can come up with is dosage.  Maybe in
small quantities they are ok to eat but when consumed
in large amounts they have this kind of effect.

THOMAS: response

POWERS: Did Doctor Calhan mention anything to you
about how potent the berries are?

THOMAS: response

POWERS: No.  Me either.  Let?s ask.

::The young engineering officer tapped his comm
badge::

POWERS: =/= Ensign Powers to Doctor Calhan =/=

CALHAN: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= I was wondering how potent the berries
are.  How much would the observation team have to
consume before they would feel the effects? =/=

CALHAN: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= So they would have to eat that much in
one sitting? =/=

CALHAN: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= Is there any chance that they could build
up an immunity to the effects by eating them in
smaller amounts for some time? =/=

CALHAN: =/= response =/=

(OOC: Feel free to throw in more conversation if you
want.  I?m more than happy to backsim anything you
want.)

POWERS: =/= Ok.  Thanks Doctor.  Powers out. =/=

::With another tap of the comm badge the conversation
was over.::

 | (Somewhere on Caraban)
 
:: M'rund looked at the table, the blue being lying silently as if sleeping, but even if she didn't know what had happend she would of known, the blood was a giveaway, the eyes were closed and non receptive and there as no pulse ... the alien was dead, and now they had a chance to find out about the species ... everyone's mind was changed, there was other life in space, they wouldn't tell the public, couldn't tell the public, just the rumours of aleins on Caraban had caused blind panic, riots, even bloodshed as believers and non believes clashed, of course some people were more reserved then others, some believed the rumours but did not publicly say so. what would happen if they found out the rumours were true? what would happen if they saw this pale blue alien ... she dreaded to think about it, it made her uneasy, her job the department to the 'in' people wouldn't be a laughing stock, more money would be plowed in the space agency, maybe they would try and make contact. ::
 
P'fet: What were thse aliens thinking!
 
:: M'rund just looked at him, not saying a word, it wasn't a question he asked it was a statement, he would go on to explain what he ment. ::
 
P'fet: Send an alien in and what? make contact? cause panic? maybe see if we were worthy of contact? who ever these people are they need to think about the effects of making contact.
 
M'rund: How can you say what they should do?
 
P'fet: I'm merely going by our own past, the way we made contact with other countrys. we've fought war after war after war all because we were too eager to say hello and not look at there customs, there ways and see for our selves how they would react to us. knowing that just a short trip over that water would lead to other lands ... other people with other beliefs.
 
M'rund: We don't even know if blueie here ::She pointed to the alien:: was sent to make contact.
 
P'fet: Then why's he here!
 
:: M'rund shook her head, P'fet could be stubburn at times and this was one of those times, no-one could talk sense to him now. They walked away leaving the doctor to do the autospsy and see what is different to him, then Carabans ... the noise ridge was the most noticable, and the antena's which were on top of his head. ::
 
:: They walked to another room a few floors up, there on the table laid the belongings the alein carried, a brick like object that flipped open to reveal a screen and buttons with unknown words on them, and the noise a nice sounding noise. the other object looked like an arrow head, with a collum through the centre, they had no idea what it was used for. and next to that was they didn't know what it was, it had a handle or what they assumed was a handle, little buttons in front of the handle, and a dark glass like front, it looked like a weapon and untill further examination, all of these were treated as deadly weapons. ::
 
M'rund: P'fet, were does this leave our investigation?
 
P'fet: I don't M'rund, we have what we were looking for but if we pack up and leave without an explanation people will get suspicous.

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Max Powers, EO - Reaching the Planet
 | (( Main Engineering ? Deck 7 ))

::Ensign Powers and Lieutenant Thomas had been working
on the data recovered from the blind for some time.
They had found some interesting reports, log entries,
sensor readings, surveillance footage, and more.
Things were looking more and more like the berries
were the culprit that the Aurora and her crew were
looking for.  Lieutenant Commander Beta walked into
engineering to get things started on the next part of
the mission.::

BETA: Excuse me gentlemen.

POWERS: What can we do for you sir?

BETA: Cmdr Parker has order myself and you ::Looking
at Ensign Powers.:: To beam down to the surface to aid
Cmdr Solan?s team in searching for the remaining team.

THOMAS: Sir, I believe I may have sensor readings as
to the coordinates of their last sightings.  It may
help to tell you where the remaining crew are.
Unfortunately it is heavily encrypted.  I'll need some
time to decode it.

BETA:  That is unfortunate, please continue your
efforts in decoding them, and contact me as soon you
decode them.

THOMAS: Yes sir.  I'll send it straight away.

BETA: Now if you would excuse me and Mr. Powers.

::Both men walked out on there way to Sickbay.::


(( Time warp ))
(( Transporter Room ? Aurora ))

::After a quick visit to sickbay for the needed
cosmetic changes the two officers headed to the
transporter room.  On the way there Ensign Powers kept
reaching towards his face.  While they changes were
only slight they were enough to bother the young
Starfleet officer.  He wasn?t used to having anything
on his face and he just couldn?t seem to get used to
the new shape of his face.  Eventually the two came to
the transporter room and they each took their spot.::

BETA: Ready ensign?

POWERS: As ready as I?ll ever be sir.

BETA: Good, ::turning to the transported chief.::
Energize.

(( Caraban II ? TEAM BETA ))

::The transported room slipped away into a blue light
then the image of the planet appeared in front of
them. They appeared in a clearing a few meters just to
their left was Cmdr Solan as they approached they
heard the team speak.::

HARLEY: (Response)

SHIOZAKI:  What's the plan Commander?

SOLAN:  response

BETA: I concur.

::Beta speaking took the whole team by surprise.::

BETA: I am sorry, I did not mean to cause shock.

ANYONE: (response)

SOLAN: That's quite alright, sir. I take it you're the
backup we requested?

POWERS: (Response)

SOLAN: Commander Pollock was just transported up, as
I'm sure you're aware. He told us the Andorian member
of the group headed for a city ::Solan gestured
towards the town they'd come from.:: over there. We
don't know exactly where he is, but that was our next
destination.

BETA: That would be the best course of action. But a
group of 6 may look suspicious. Myself, Mr. Powers and
Mr. Harley will go on ahead. Cmdr Solan, follow
briefly after with the rest of the team.

POWERS: Yes sir.

ANYONE ELSE: response

BETA: Good then if that is all, Mr. Powers, Mr. Harley
your with me.

::Beta and Ensigns Harley and Powers moved off.::

BETA: Mr. Powers could you direct us as to the likely
root to the town?

POWERS: Yes sir.

::Ensign Powers checked his tricorder quickly.  He
looked up to get his bearing and then back down at the
screen.::

POWERS: ::extending his hand to the right:: It seems
that if we follow the shape of the terrain off to the
right we should wind up in town with minimal chance of
contact.  I wouldn?t want to have to put us on the
spot with more acting again.

BETA: Good I would not worried I think your acting
skills will help us.

HARLEY: (response)

BETA: I am sorry ensign I did not explain while we
where at the blind Mr. Powers here had to get us, what
is that situation. ::pause.:: adhesive like situation?

POWERS: A sticky situation I believe is the term
you?re looking for sir.  And it was nothing really.
::he turned to Ensign Harley::  We ran into part of a
search party while we were repairing the hologram
projector outside of the blind and we just kept him
busy.  Questions and pointing at things that weren?t
really there.  Eventually he just got tired and
confused with us and left.

HARLEY: response

POWERS: Besides, it took both of us for it to work.  I
was impressed by what you did back there sir.

BETA: response


(( Time Warp ))

::After a few more minutes of talk and a few more
minutes of silence, Beta?s portion of the away team
had reached the outskirts of the town.  The air seemed
heavy about the town.  All of the recent activity and
commotion caused by the observation team?s discovery
changed the atmosphere around the area.  The town
seemed somewhat quiet.  The people that were out and
about kept looking over their shoulder and to both
sides, seemingly on the lookout for aliens or anything
else out of the ordinary.::

POWERS: Which way should we go?

BETA/HARLEY: response

POWERS: I?d say logic is out of the question.  Judging
by the random nature of the observation team?s
behavior I don?t think we can know for sure which way
he?d go.

BETA/HARLEY: response

POWERS: That might work.  Do we have a signature that
we could use to trace?

BETA/HARLEY: response

::Ensign Harley took out his tricorder, plugged in the
needed information, and began to scan for the missing
observation member.::

HARLEY: response

::Nothing was coming up on the Ensign?s tricorder.
The away team was going to need a new plan.::

BETA: response

POWERS: Good idea sir.

::Beta?s half of the away team got going in hopes of
finding Doctor Voran Grees.  Ensign Powers was hoping
that maybe he could help shed some light on the
berries and what happened with the observation team.
Max figured that he might have some data that he took
while the group was consuming the mystery food.  Only
time would tell, and they needed to find the doctor
first.  Max tried to put the thoughts out of his head
and focus on the task at hand ? find Doctor Grees.::

 | [sb118-aurora] Ensign Max Powers, EO - Success
 | (( Caraban II ? Team Beta ))

::Lieutenant Commander Beta had made the call to head
towards the slums of the planet?s surface.  A very
logical and smart choice.  Obviously a call made by an
experienced Starfleet officer.  Beta?s away team
slowly made their way through the town, trying to draw
as little attention to themselves as possible.  Even
with the exterior alterations to help them blend in
Ensign Powers was still a little uneasy with the idea
of walking through down.  He felt a little nervous
about doing something that didn?t fit in with the
local culture that would blow their cover and
jeopardize the mission.::

::Nothing of incident happened on the way to the
slums.  Upon reaching that area of the town Ensign
Powers was quite surprised.  It reminded him very much
of the pictures and stories he had heard of 20th
century Earth and what their run down areas looked
like.  Boarded up windows.  Trash in the street.  The
smell of urine creeping out from ally ways.  Cars with
broken windows.  Young people standing on corner
exchanging money and bags of what Ensign Powers could
only assume was some form of drug.  Suddenly, one of
the men sitting against the wall spoke.::

MAN: Hey you!

::Ensign Powers turned to face the man.  The man was
wearing clothes that looked old and worn.  The pants
had frazzled edges and didn?t seem to fit very well.
The shirt had holes and stains over much of it.
Ensign Powers pointed at his chest to make sure the
man was referring to him.::

MAN: Yeah you.

::The man looked side to side as if to make sure
nobody was watching.  When he was satisfied that the
coast was clear he spoke again.::

MAN: You want to buy some stuff?

POWERS: Stuff?

MAN: Yeah, you know . . . spank.

::Ensign Powers wasn?t familiar with the term but
figured that the man sitting against the wall was
referring to some form of local drug.  Probably quite
illegal.::

POWERS: No thank you sir.

MAN: No spank?  Need a lift though?  I?ve got spank,
mist, blur, anything you want.

POWERS: No thank you.

::The young ensign wanted to be polite but the man
just wouldn?t seem to take no for an answer.::

MAN: Come on buddy.  You think you?re too good for it?
  Are you too good for us?

::The man got to his feet and pointed a finger at
Ensign Powers.  Powers wasn?t sure how to handle the
situation.  He decided the best course of action was
to simply walk away and ignore the man and he screams.
  He pulled the hood of his cloak up over he head and
walked away with the rest of the away team.::

MAN: Don?t walk away like that.  I know who you are!
I know what you want.  You better not go buy from
somebody else!  I own these streets!

::The man continued on.  All the yelling was getting
to him and he began to cough.  Eventually he gave up
and sat back down against the wall, harassing the next
group of people to walk too close to him.::

POWERS: Sorry about that sir.

BETA: response

POWERS: I don?t know why he picked me.  He just
started.  I hope I didn?t attract too much attention
to us.

BETA: response

::The commotion had drawn some attention.  Many of the
people standing on the near corner were watching
Beta?s group move down the street.  After a second or
two they went back to their own business and ignored
Beta, Harley, and Powers as they had minutes before.::

HARLEY: response

BETA: response

::Max was excited.  Ensign Harley had picked up the
signal of Doctor Voran Grees on his tricorder and it
was nearby.  The trio made their way carefully down an
ally way and they came to a door.::

HARLEY: response

::The door was locked but the away team needed to get
inside that building.::

POWERS: Allow me sir.

BETA: response

::Ensign Powers knelt down next to the door and
started to play with the lock.::

BETA: response

POWERS: I think I?ve almost got it sir.  I?m going to
try a different approach.

BETA: response

::Ensign Powers stood up, took a few steps back, and
then leapt at the door with his right foot extended.
With a loud and forceful collision to lock gave way
and the door opened.::

BETA: response

HARLEY: response

::Ensign Powers was a little nervous about going
inside but the fact that Ensign Harley wasn?t picking
up any other life signs in the building was a good
sign and a good start as far as Max was concerned.::

HARLEY: response

::Ensign Harley was right, Doctor Grees was just up
ahead.  As the group entered a large room they could
see the doctor hanging upside down from a large beam
that ran the length of the room.  A thick rope had
been tied around his feet in the fashion of a noose.::

POWERS: Why would anyone do this?

ANYONE: response

::Ensign Harley used his tricorder to check on the
doctor?s status.  It wasn?t as accurate as a medical
tricorder but the results would help decide the next
course of action.::

HARLEY: response

::Lt. Cmdr. Beta made the call to the Aurora to fill
them in on the discovery of Doctor Grees and his
current medical condiditon.::

BETA: response



OOC: I hope I?m not moving the plot too far ahead by
finding the doctor.  If I was a little premature in
doing this I?m sorry and I can correct my sim.  I just
thought his capture would make for an interesting
twist.

::The three officers had reached a large building with
a mostly glass exterior that was full of activity.
There was a large flow of people heading towards the
building.  By looking through the glass windows the
away team could see inside and the commotion that
awaited them.  The crowd that had gathered inside was
quite large and more people were filling in.  There
were several large screens, which looked like 20th
century televisions, that were posted along the back
wall.  Ensign Powers could quite make out what the
picture was because some of the people and equipment
inside were blocking his view.::

POWERS: Do you guys see those pictures?

BETA/HARLEY: response

POWERS: I can?t tell what they are.  How about you
guys?

BETA/HARLEY: response

::Ensign Harley took a few steps away trying to see
what it was and was approached by one of the locals.
Max could not hear what was exchanged between the two
but from the look on Ensign Harley?s face seemed
urgent.::

HARLEY: There's an announcement about to be made.

BETA: response

::Ensign Powers was just as curious and Lieutenant
Commander Beta.  Josh raised an eyebrow. ::

HARLEY: It concerns us.

BETA: response

::As per Beta?s order the away team moved into the
building.  It was a tight fit to get in.  It seemed
like so many people wanted to hear the announcement
and see the screen.  Everyone inside was talking and
the noise level was quite high.  Some seemed to be
pointing at the screen, others seemed to be locked in
heavy conversation of their own making.::

::Suddenly the conversations stopped.  The picture on
the screen changed to a news broadcaster standing in
front of a most impressive building.  The building was
tall with a high fence going all around it.  Armed
guards stood at the post near what appeared to be

wouldn?t come on to say it?s nothing would he?  I
think this is big.

HARLEY: May I make a suggestion ::he waited for
approval before carrying on: We should watch the rest
of the broadcast it may give us a clue.

BETA: response

:: The news broadcaster returned. started talking
about the report to an 'paranormal expert' about the
sightings, whether they were true or not, his
responses caused some unrest with the assembled
people, Joshua moved slightly into a more defensive
stance, trouble could erupt at any time, he didn't
want to be off guard. ::

BROADCASTER: We're going to cross live to Santerigo
now, we're our reporter  An**ooi Oypas**is, is
waiting.

:: Joshua noticed that the UT had a little bit of
trouble translating the reporters name, he looked at a
name on the screen, he to had trouble translating it.
::
oO äçìïóé ïãñÜöïò Oo

HARLEY: Onooi Oyaos?

BETA: ???

Harley: Sorry Sir, Just trying to pronounce her name,
it's difficult.

BETA: ???

REPORTER: I'm here at the governments top research
facility here in Santerigo, where an alein has
allegedly been taken,  the people we've spoken to have
denied these reports and stated nothing ahs been
brought here.

:: She carried on talking, the words Alien sunk into
Josh, could Grees have been taking there? ::

BETA: ???

HARLEY: It's the only lead we've got Sir.

POWERS: Look sir!

::Ensign Powers pointed to the screen.  The image on
the screen had changed.  The reporter was gone and had
been replaced by the image of an impressive looking
gentleman sitting behind a wooden desk, similar to
that of a 20th century American President..  Ensign
Powers figured that this was the president making his
announcement.::

PRESIDENT: Good evening everyone.  As you are all well
aware, there has been quite a lot of rumor and
speculation lately about our beloved planet being
visited by aliens.  There have been stories saying
these visitors are dangerous.  Some say they are
friendly.  Some have even claimed to possess alien
technology.  I wanted to come here tonight to put to
rest any and all rumors and the set the record
straight.  We have been contacted.

:: The crowd gasped in shock.  They had never
encountered an alien before.  And, up until a few days
ago, the locals probably never really fathomed that
aliens had made contact here before.::

PRESIDENT: Yes.  Aliens have landed here and we have
one in custody.  Unfortunately he . . . it died before
we could get any information from him . . . it.  We
did not harm it.  We believe that it died from natural
causes.  From preliminary tests it shows that it may
have ingested the poisonous berries that flourish in
our mountainous regions around own capitol.  Our
scientist are still conducting an autopsy to discover
the actual cause of death and to hopefully find out
more about this alien creature.

::As the man spoke a large screen came down behind him
and a bluish blob was being projected to it.::

PRESIDENT: Behind me is a picture of the creature that
we have discovered.

::  At first the image that the screen showed was a
bluish blob.  Slowly the image focused and the bluish
blob was actually a dead Andorian.  The image was just
a headshot.  Max could not make out any kind of
clothing except for pips on his collar.::
PRESIDENT: Please do not be alarmed or panic.  We
believe this one to be alone.  There is not sign of
any activity around our planet.  Our scientist have
had all of our equipment trained on the skies trying
to pick up either transmissions or ship movement.  So
far there is nothing.  When we have more information
we will let you know.  Again, I repeat.  Please do not
panic.  We believe that there is no need for alarm.
I?ve been this honest with you, don?t think that I?m
going to be holding anything back.  This is a major
event that involves everyone so you should be
included.  I thank you for your time, your attention,
and you cooperation.

::The screen went back to the reporter who began to
recap the president?s speech.::

::The away tam was going to have to contact the
Aurora.::

were used to illuminate the president turned off,
sending the room back into it?s normal brightness.::

PRESIDENT: Thank goodness.  I could hardly see with
all those things on.

TV CREW: I know but they?re necessary sir.  Besides,
you did a good job.

PRESIDENT: Really?  Thanks.  ::He turned to another
man in the room.:: Do you think they bought it?

PFET: response

PRESIDENT: Good.  We need to find out more about these
aliens.  Where are they from?  Why did they come?  How
many were there?  How many *are* there?  Are we in
danger?  You know.

PFET: response

PRESIDENT: I just didn?t want everyone panicking and
helping you look.  The last thing I want in civilian
interference with this investigation.  Besides, if I
come through this thing looking good politically,
there might be a big promotion for you Pfet.

PFET: response

PRESIDENT: Yes sir.  Well, if, and that?s a big if, we
all get through this little episode.  I want
everything to run smoothly.  We give the public enough
information to make them feel like we?re being honest.
  Enough to make them feel as comfortable as possible
with any changes we might need to enact to aid our
investigation.  Nothing more.  They don?t need to know
the whole truth.  Understood?

PFET: response

PRESIDENT: Good.  Now, what recommendations do you
have?

BETA: =/= Cmdr Beta to Aurora. =/=

PARKER:  =/= Aurora here Commander. =/=

BETA:  =/= Sir we have problem, the Doctor?s has been
captured and maybe killed by the local inhabitancy .::


PARKER:  =/= We saw the report, we have few options
now I'm afraid.  We can either recover the body and
all evidence and hope this all goes away, or we can
make First Contact. =/=

SOLAN:  =/= Captain, things are going to get tricky.
The President claimed they think Grees was alone, but
there's still going to be heavy Security. =/=

PARKER:  =/= Any ideas? =/=

SOLAN:  =/= We could try to transport past most of
their Security, but I'm betting they'll be prepared
for that, possibly even people stationed around the
body itself. =/=

BETA: =/= The cmdr could be right, but they are not
sure if we have transporter devices, and may not be
prepared. =/=

PARKER:  =/= I don't want to be responsible for a
premature first contact situation ... get that body
and all evidence back.  Stun the locals if necessary.
=/=

::This surprised Max.  He never thought that he would
have to use force against the Caraban people.  They
seemed kind enough, just curious about things they
didn?t understand.  Maybe that made them more
dangerous than the young ensign realized.::

SOLAN: =/= We can do it, Captain. Wiping their
computer systems shouldn't be too hard. And recovering
the physical evidence can be done, but it won't be
easy. =/=

POWERS: =/=Ensign Powers ma?am.  Lieutenant Thomas
and I can take care of the computer systems easily.
=/=

SOLAN: =/=Ma'am, there would be less risk of causing
a premature
first contact if we had another advantage. Stunning a
large amount
of security just isn't feasible. =/=

BETA: =/= The Cmdr is correct this would most likely
lead to a some what paranoid society, if people
mysteriously stunned.=/=

SOLAN: =/=What about a shuttle? We could keep it
hidden outside the city, it'd make for a quicker
escape, and reduce the risk of Aurora being
spotted.=/=

::A shuttle could get them out but there still had to
be a good way in.  Ensign Powers? mind was racing,
trying to think of anything that could help them.  The
guards were the problem.  They would be everywhere
inside the building.  How could the away team take
care of the guards without endangering their own
safety?  Suddenly he had an idea.  He wasn?t sure how
good it was but it was something.::

PARKER/ANYONE: =/= There might be a way in ma?am.
It?s similar to stunning the guards but not with our
phasers =/=

PARKER: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= Would I be possible to Doctor Calhan to
create some kind of knockout gas? =/=

PARKER/ANYONE: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= Well, what I was thinking was, with a
building of this size there has to be some sort of
environmental control center.  If Doctor Calhan could
make this gas for us, somebody could be transported
inside and place the gas in the ventilation system.
The gas would spread through the entire compound
knocking everyone unconscious without us having to
actually confront them.  It would then be a lot easier
for us to make our way inside the compound and the
Doctor Grees? remains. =/=

PAKER/ANYONE: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= I doubt the control room for the
ventilation system would be under heavy guard.  As far
as the Caraban?s know the only way to get there would
be to go through the main doors of the compound.  If
we transport into the compound directly to that
control room it would catch them off guard and
shouldn?t be a problem. =/=

PARKER/ANYONE: =/= response =/=

POWERS: =/= As far as contact goes, any guard who
might see something will be found unconscious.
Doctors may say that anything the guard claims to have
seen as far as us transporting in and out was actually
a hallucinogenic side effect of being unconscious. We
will leave no evidence of who or what we are for the
Carban?s to find.=/=

PARKER/ANYONE: =/= response =/=

BETA: =/= This is the plan, at 22:50 hours Mr. Solan
beam down into the control room from the ship
discussed as a common object. Then clear the room.
After which Mr. Harley, Mr. Thomas, Doctor Calhan will
follow with the gas and releasing it. Mean while
myself, Mr. Powers Mr. Dominus and the designated
shuttle pilot will be waiting in the upper thermal
sphere. Then we will make our move coming in looking
like a native plane. Then we will beam down removed
the body get to the transporter site and on the 2nd or

aurora and beam my team and the doctor back to the
shuttle. Then fly back to the aurora. =/=

::The shadowed alley way disappeared and was replaced
by the common transporter room.::

BETA: Move out people, we have 4 hours until we have
to leave, I suggest you all get sleep.

:: Joshua moved out of the transporter room, They had been down on the planet for most of the day, and Beta's plans ment checks, a degsignated pilot ... Joshua was new, how could he name a pilot, who could do what Beta needed, when he didn't know the people, nor what they were best at. ::
((Mess Hall - USS Aurora))
:: Joshua sat in the corner, huddled over his coffee, the moon, reminded Harley of Earths moon ... only there was no buildings or land vehicles, and no Starships. He looked over the files of all his department, his department, he didn't know how long he would be in charge, but a full department head needed to be appointed ... not just for Paper work issues, but also Morale ... they needed to know who was in charge ... who to make complaints to. ::
:: He took a sip of his coffee and read the next file, a few moments later he was interupted, he had been expecting it. ::
Hargreaves: You should sleep.
Harley: Can't sleep ... I've managed to get 16 hours sleep since we started this mission.
Hargreaves: The Doctor can provide something to help that.
Harley: Maybe, but I think it's the buzz, my first mission, the only Officer in this department, I have no idea what i'm supposed to do.
Hargreaves: Your doing a good job.
Harley: Comeing from a Klingon, thats high praise.
Hargreaves: Half Klingon!
:: Joshua smiled, Sally was his closest friend on this ship, she had been keeping him in check, making sure that the others, not just the department, but the rest of the ships crew, were confident of his abilities. ::
Harley: I need to name a Pilot to take a shuttle to the surface, and wait for us.
Hargreaves: I will do it.
Harley: No I need you here, at the helm of Aurora, if anything goes wrong ...
Hargreaves: Crewman Cane, he knows his stuff ... even if he has no sense of Humour.
Harley: And Klingons do?
Hargreaves: We have an exellent sense of humour.
:: Sally smiled, she was only half Human, but that half was the one that shone through most. Joshua looked at Cane's file, it was immpeccable although all former CO's reported the same thing, he was a loner, prefered to work on his own, wasn't a team player and rarely attented public ship events. :: 
:: Joshua knew what it was like to be alone, hauling cargo could get lonely, sometimes people spent their whole life with just the crew, the crew became family, loners they maybe, but they were tough, they could get through anything, Joshua wasn't a loner but he was tough, and had learnt many things from cargo crew. He would get to know Cane, his own personal goal. ::
Hargreaves: Your daydreaming Josh.
Harley: Noooo, I'm thinking.
:: They carried on talking and drinking, Sally making sure that Josh hadn't forgotten anything. He contacted Cane and told him to be in the shuttlebay in 2 hours. ::
(Timewarp - 2 hours)
((Shuttlebay))
:: Joshua looked over the shuttle, waiting for the day when he would take her out, but for the moment that time hadn't come, instead Cane got that chance, the Shuttles first outing since being onboard. He made a ship wide announcement. ::
Harley: =/= Shuttlebay to Pilot Cane, your late Crewman! =/=
Cane: =/= I'm on my way =/=
:: It wasn't a good start, Josh would let it pass this time. Cane entered the bay. ::
Cane: I'm ready for the breifing.
:: Joshua said nothing, they walked over to the corner, where briefings took place, Josh pressed a button, a holographic image of Caraban appeared on screen, it had the latest sensor information on it. ::
:: Joshua began to explain Cane's mission, the orders, and Beta's plan. At the end of the briefing, a simulation took place, to give Cane an idea of what was to be done. ::
Cane: So, go down to 25000 feet, do a few fly overs wait for you guys and come back.
Harley: Yes, we've been monitoring flight paths, there is a flight path close to the area, so to diviate from it shouldn't be a problem, also you won't be caught on radar, there isn't any.
Cane: I'll start checking the shuttle over.
:: Harley nodded and left his crew to it, He wanted to check things over with Solon and Calhorn. ::
((Sickbay))
:: Harley entered and walked upto Calhorn, who was checking on a female patient, he guessed it was one of the OP team. ::

 | ((Shuttle))

::Beta was giving out his last minute instructions
before the shuttle launched.  He had questions and
precautions for everyone just like a good commanding
officer should.  It was Ensign Powers? turn.::

BETA: Mr. Powers, there maybe something containing the
body a primitive force field perhaps, I want you
prepare to disarm them as need.

POWERS: Yes sir.  I?ll monitor sensor scans on the
approach to see if we can get a fix on Doctor Grees?
body and if there is anything near by.

::After a minute there was contact from Lieutenant
Commander Solan?s part of the away team.  They had
begun to disperse the gas through the ventilation
system.::

oO So far so good. Oo

::Things were running smoothly as the shuttle made its
way through to atmosphere of the until there was a
loud bang.  The shuttle shook violently.  People were
tossed from the seats to the floor.  Nobody was
seriously injured, just a little sore from impacts.::

BETA: Mr. Powers, what happened?

POWERS: I?m checking now sir!  It seems that we
somehow one of the impulse reaction chambers in out of
alignment on the starboard side of the shuttle.  I
need to shut it down.

BETA: response

POWERS: We will still have enough power with only one
engine.  Handling might be a little different due to
the change in propulsion.

CANE: response

::The crewman did a wonderful job of piloting the
shuttle given the circumstances.  The shuttle did tend
to turn a little to the starboard as the shuttle was
unable to give power from that side.  The way the
shuttle was flying was similar to the way someone who
paddles a canoe with one paddle must do ? constantly
correcting their heading due to only having power from
one side.::

::Eventually the shuttle had been piloted down through
the atmosphere and it entered its flight pattern near
the compound in which the remains of Doctor Grees were
being held.  The time had come to transport down and
find the body.::

BETA: response

POWERS: No sir.  The sensors can?t seem to lock onto
his signal.  There is some sort of interference.  I?m
picking up his signal in a few places.  Should I
download all the information into my tricorder?

BETA: response

::The young ensign did as he was asked.  After
Lieutenant Commander Beta had given the command to
transport the away team disappeared in the familiar
transport haze of lights.::

((Caraban II - Government Compound))

::The away team rematerialized in much the same way
the dematerialized.  It was always an interesting
sight to see the whole come back into focus after
being transported.  The scene that lay before them was
interesting.  There were bodies lying all around.
Some were lying on the floor.  Some were still sitting
in their chairs.  The gas seemed to have worked
perfectly.  Now it was time to find to doctor.::

Calhon, Solan and Thomas were in the transporter room already, Joshua felt confident, this mission although short had turned Josh from a green eyed freshman to a freshman with limited experiance, he smiled to himself, he was on his first mission, and hopefully it would come to an end soon, not that he wanted it to. ::
 
Solan: Alright people, when I give the signal, I need you all to beam down and deploy the gas as fast as possible. We won't have much time. Make sure you all being gas masks.
:: Josh nodded, the transporter technition beamed Solon away, and they were alone, there was some idle chit chat but nothing serious, Josh checked his things, gas mask, tricorder and phaser. Solon's voice came over there comm-badges. ::

:: They all stepped onto the transport padd and were beamed away in a blue flash, they rematirllised in a room, as Harley's vision cleared up he saw a man lying on the floor, Solon gave the orders. ::
 
SOLON: Mr. Harley, see if he's got anything that might help us. Check for an access card, 
we may need it.

HARLEY: Aye.
 
:: Solon gave orders to the others, Josh quickly walked over to the knocked out man and began to search him, in his top pocket was an access card. ::
 
HARLEY: We've hit the jackpot sir, :: Josh handed the card to Solon :: Access to all areas.
 
SOLON: ???
 
HARLEY: I'll keep searching him.
 
:: Harley continued to search the body, finding odd bits and peices, he came across a circular object, with writting on it, named 'Case number 2475 - Unknown Alien'. ::
 
:: Without asking Joshua strood to the computer and placed the disk in the open drawer, it closed automatically and loaded ... asking for a password. by this time Solon had noticed what Harley was doing. ::

 - Tar'h, what are you doing there?
 
- I'm coming in. You better have good excuse or I'll kick your ass.
 
:: Joshua looked at Solon, not knowing what to do, he drew his phaser, there was a slight buzz and the sound of the door unlocking, before he realised what he was doing, Josh had jumped off his seat and long hopped to the door, the unknown man froze and Josh's left fist hit him squarely in the jaw, sending the man into the room, the door shut, the man dazzled and confused began to stand, looked at Calhon, Josh stunned the man with his phaser and he crumbled to the floor. ::

wore their oxygen mask but cmdr Beta who didn?t
require one, because he didn?t breath.::

BETA: Report?

POWERS: From the looks of things sir everyone seems
incapacitated thanks to the gas.

BETA: We do not have much time until the gas will wear
off. Mr. Powers which signature is the closest?

::Ensign Powers checked his tricorder.::

POWERS: Closest signature is about 25 meters of to the
right.

BETA: Then Lead on, Lt. Dominus just in front of me, I
shall take the rear and cover just in case there where
a few unaffected by the gas. Remember wide phaser
sweeps set to stun.

POWERS: Yes sir.

::The team was moving for 1 minute 13 seconds when the
came to a room and with in was one of the signals. It
was a simple handle system and as Ensign Powers
pressed down on the handle it swung open. Beta moved
in closely followed by Powers.::

BETA: Lt. Dominus Guard the door I do not wish to get
any uninvited guests, also try to contact Cmdr. Solan
he maybe able to direct us.

::Just as Lt. Dominus was going for his comm badge
Doctor Calhan contacted Beta?s half of the away

CALHAN: =/= Doctor Calhan to Team Beta =/=

::It was Lieutenant Dominus who answered.::

DOMINUS: response

CALHAN: =/= There was a small interruption but we
gained access to compound's database. We're currently
searching for a more specific information on Doctor
Grees' whereabouts. =/=

DOMINUS: response

::Cmdr. Beta and Ensign Powers moved deeper and deeper
into the room, the further the got into the darken
room the less they heard from Lt. Dominus.::

POWERS: The signal is coming from right over here sir.

::Ensign Powers pointed to the far corner of the room.
  It didn?t make sense to keep a body under
surveillance in the side of a room.  Ensign Powers
expected the body to be on a large table in the middle
of an oversized examination room.::

::As Ensign Powers and Lt. Commander Beta approached
the signal they noticed some Starfleet paraphernalia.
It appeared to be Doctor Grees? comm badge and
tricorder.  Both showed scratches on the edges as if
someone was tampering with them, perhaps trying to get
inside to see how things worked.::

POWERS:  It looks like they were interested in out
technology.

BETA: response

POWERS: Well, the next signature is coming from the
other end of the hallway we materialized in.  The
other is coming from a few rooms away in that
direction.::

::Ensign Powers pointed towards the far end of the
room they were currently in.::

BETA: response

POWERS: I can?t tell for sure which signature is
Doctor Grees?.  It appears that our scanners picked up
traces of his signature on his belongings.  It could
be the doctor or maybe his clothes or something else
he had with him.  Maybe Lt Dominus has heard
something?

::Lt. Dominus didn?t answer.  Commander Beta tried
again.::

constantly over their shoulders. They moved within
70cm of the signature.::

placing them under his arm.  He tried to place them in
such a way that it would not hinder his ability to
move and do his job.  A few minutes later they had
everything on the table and had exited the room::

BETA: Now we look for Mr. Dominus, then the doctor,
and then get out of here.

POWERS: Do you think Lt. Cmdr Solan could help us
locate Lt. Dominus?

BETA: =/= Beta to team Solan. =/=

SOLAN: =/=Solan here, Commander.=/=

BETA: =/= Can you scan for Mr. Dominus he has
disappeared. =/=

SOLAN: =/= Sir, I don't have a specific location on
Lt. Dominus, but some sort of low level security alert
is coming up near your position, I've deactivated it,
and I don't think anyone took notice.=/=


BETA: =/= Thank you transmit the locations to Ensign
Powers tricorder. Beta out. =/=  Do you have it
ensign?

POWERS: Yes sir.  Just arrived.

::The two men walked down the corridor and were
heading towards the coordinates they received from
Solan and his group.  Around one of the corners there
was Dominus lying on the floor. His stun baton lay on
the ground next to him.  Immediately Beta knelt down
and scanned Dominus.  His findings suggested that he
had been hit by a stunning weapon. There was a little
device next to him. Beta picked it up, as it did it
started to screech loudly, Beta quickly analysed the
signal, it was intended to knock some one out.
Knowing full well that it would do this to Ensign
Powers he crushed in his hand.::

POWERS: Thank you sir.  That noise was making my head
feel funny.  Any idea what did this to Lt Dominus?

BETA: I believe that this device, ::Putting his hand
forward.:: Did this.

BETA: =/= Cmdr beta to doctor Calhan. =/=

CALHAN: =/= Yes, Sir?

BETA: =/= Lt. Dominus had been knocked out by a
device of some kind they are small and can knock a
person out with in 25 seconds I estimate. I am going
to beam him to you now so you can treat him. =/=

CALHAN: =/= Yes, Sir. I'll prepare everything. Calhan
out. =/=

BETA: =/= Cmdr Beta to Crewman Cane. =/=

CANE: =/= Go ahead sir. =/=

BETA: =/= Please transport Dominus to Mr. Calhan?s
location on your next pass of the bunker. =/=

CANE: =/= Aye. =/=

::Lt Dominus disappeared from the hallway and Crewman
Cane transported him to Doctor Calhan.  Beta and
Powers were now on their own to find Doctor Grees, or
at least what was left of him.::

BETA: Mr. Powers, we have to find the body soon we do
not have a lot of time.

POWERS: Yes sir.  We still have three different
signatures that our initial scan detected.  I?m not
sure which one to follow.

::The two had little choice.  They picked one and
began to head in it?s direction.::

SOLAN: =/=Solan to Commander Beta. =/=

BETA: =/= Go ahead Mr. Solan. =/=

SOLAN: =/=Sir, we believe we've found the location of
Doctor
Grees's body. =/=

BETA: =/= Are you sure? =/=

SOLAN: =/= That we are, Commander. =/=

BETA: =/= Good then transfer the location to Mr.
Power's tricorder, monitor us until we get with in 2
metres of the body then beam out with Dominus in the
next transport window. Also wipe the computer anything
concerning Grees and our selves, if you can but make
it look like an accident rather then something
deliberate. =/=

SOLAN: =/=Aye, sir. We're on it.=/=

BETA: =/= Beta out. =/= Ensign, do you have the
coordinates?

POWERS: Yes sir, they are coming through now.

BETA: Then please lead on.

((Caraban Skies ? Shuttle Plato ))

::Crewman Cane was making his 7th sweep of the surface
in the
shuttle, still nothing from the Cmdr's Team. Cane
scanned the
surface once more; it had been fun for the most part.
There was a
rather interesting town he passed it looked as if he
could have had
a good time there. As well as nuclear power plant, a
coal burning
power plant and an off shore wind farm. It was like
looking through
a window in history looking back at earth's past, just
after the
eugenics war. The only thing that differs was not too
many planes;
he knew that the planet had them he saw a air strip
where there
where jet planes those obviously where the ones that
the shuttle
shield refraction made it look like. Still puzzled
him, why he
hadn't been challenge by another air craft.::

CANE: Computer how long has the Cmdr been on the
surface?

COMPUTER: 27 minutes.

o0 Come on, come on, you're running out of time cmdr.
0o

((Caraban, Government compound-Team Beta))

:: They had 11 or 12 minutes till the gas wore off,
Cmdr Solan's
team was almost ready to beam back. They came to the
end of a
corridor going left and going right.::

BETA: Ensign?

POWERS: Um, it looks like we should head left.

BETA: Left it is then.

::The two men increased in speed, moving into a fast
joy, they did
not have the time to waste.::

SOLAN: =/=Lt. Commander Solan to Commander Beta.=/=

BETA: =/= Go ahead Cmdr. =/=

SOLAN: =/=Our information puts you within a few dozen
meters of
the body. We've disabled the security systems, you
should be able to
walk right in.=/=

BETA: =/= Good thank you Cmdr, beam out in the next
transport
window. See you back on the aurora Cmdr. Beta out.
=/=

::The two men came to the door and entered.::

((Caraban Skies ? Shuttle Plato ))

:: The single bead of sweat ran down Crewman Cane?s
neck running down and off his uniform. He rubbed his
had on his trousers to wipe off the
sweat.::

CANE: Computer how long has Cmdr Beta been on he
surface?

COMPUTER: 31 minutes.

o0 I am going to have to pull them out we can't risk
being
discovered. 0o

CANE: =/= Cane to Cmdr Beta I've got to pull you out
sir, you are
out of time. =/=

BETA: =/= We are almost there crewman, prepare to
beam us out on
your next pass. =/=

::He rubbed his an order was an order.::

CANE: =/= Aye. =/=

::He pulled over performing loop he would be in
transporter range in
53 seconds. As the shuttle closed in, crewman cane
neglected to over
looked the aft scanners, there was a jet fighter armed
with machine
guns a primitive missiles on it's way.::

((Caraban, Government compound-Team Beta))

:: As Crewman cane had already stated they where
running out of
time, but thankfully on the cold slab of metal was the
doctor. No
Force fields, no walls, just a single dim light
hanging by a single
thread over the mutilated body. There where 2 trays at
either sides
of him as well as array of unconscious doctors.
Wearing pure blue
uniforms. Beta Pulled out a phaser and vaporised the
surgeons
equipment.::

BETA: Mr. Powers is there anything else that needs to
be destroy he
brought with us?

POWERS: Not that I can tell sir.  Everything seems to
be in order.

BETA: =/= Beta to Cane 3 to beam up. =/=

::As Lt. Cmdr Beta and Ensign Powers prepared to
transport back to the shuttle with the remains of
Doctor Grees they both neglected to see a tiny vile
filled with blood and another filled with tiny grafts
of skin that one of the unconscious doctors clenched
in his hand.::

(OOC: I figured I?d add this since there is a guy
putting away new government secrets in one of the
sims.  I figured that something had to have been left
behind.  Disregard if I?m wrong.)

::The jet pulled with in 25 metres of the shuttle,
continually
sending singles to the shuttle on low band radio. But
it failed to
pick it up, the jet armed it's missile. Beta and
Powers, as well as
Grees beamed up, and at the exact moment the shuttle
dropped it's
shields, the jet fired.::

((Caraban Skies ? Shuttle Plato ))

::Beta, Powers and Grees appeared on the shuttle. As
they did alarm
went off. And the jet shot pass the shuttle it rocked
as it did.::

BETA: Report?

::Cane did not answer but slammed down on console the
shields raised
just in time.::

CANE: Hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride.

::He Hammer onto the console causing the shuttle to
shoot off at
super sonic speeds. The jet followed close behind fire
vigorously at
the shuttle all impacting against the shields.::

CANE: Shields are out 94%.

::The jet fired off one last volley of missiles, the
shuttle pulled
away faster and faster, exiting the planet, as the
missiles fell
back falling into the jet destroying it instantly. The
jet increased
in speed as it reach space on it's way back to the
aurora. Cmdr Beta
held onto the bar in front of him, if he had been
human he would
most likely have been sick. Ensign Powers was
beginning to feel sick.  He wasn?t used to all the
fast tight maneuvers that Crewman Cane was forcing the
shuttle through.  While Ensign Powers knew the
maneuvers were needed it didn?t make them any easier
to take.::

::After just a few seconds the shuttle had managed to
outrun their attacker and was back in outer space.
Things seemed to slow down and the ride got
considerably more comfortable and a lot easier to
take.  Nobody said anything until the ship pulled back
into the shuttle bay aboard the Aurora.  Once
everything was settled and the shuttle had powered
down the tension that was in the air was completely
gone.  The crewman turned to face the back of the
shuttle.  Rubbing his neck in embarrassment.::

CANE: Sorry sirs, but I did tell you it would be
bumpy.

::The group disembarked from the shuttle and made
their way towards the bridge.  Powers figured that
there was going to be a long debriefing about this
one.  The mission had been tough but it seemed to have
been a huge success.  Only time would tell how history
would tell this tale.  History was the ultimate judge
of success or failure and Ensign Powers couldn?t wait
for his chance to write that history.

 | [sb118-aurora] Lt. JG Max Powers, CEO - Promotions!
 | (( Bridge ? USS Aurora ))

::The bridge seemed calm compared to the mission that
Ensign Powers had left behind.  He was both glad and
sad to leave Caraban II and the observation post
behind.  He felt like there was much they could learn
about the people of the Caraban system and well as
much Starfleet could teach them.  All in due time he
realized.::

::Lt. Cmdr Solan was trying to strike up conversation
on the bridge.  Ensign Powers appreciated the gesture.
  He assumed his superior was trying to help calm
everyone?s nerves as well as continue to get to know
the crew.::

SOLAN: ::Solan glanced across to Ensign Powers who was
pouring over the Engineering Station.:: Is she living
up to your expectations, Mr. Powers?

POWERS: Yes sir.  It?s amazing being on a ship like
this.  It?s one thing to read about it and learn about
it but something entirely different to actually see it
and work on it.

SOLAN: ::Solan chuckled.:: Glad to hear it.

POWERS: If you don?t mind sir, I?d like to head to my
quarters.  It?s been a long time since I last slept.
I could use a few hours of sleep before I get back to
work.

::There was only a gesture but Max knew the meaning.
He headed for the turbolift.::


(( Ensign Powers? Quarters ))

::Max went to his quarters after a quick stop on the
bridge.  He wanted to see how everything going there
before retiring to his room.  After reaching his room
the first thing he did was take a long nap.  The last
few days had been very tiring and trying for the young
Ensign.  It was his first assignment out of Starfleet
and he had been thrown right into the middle of
everything.  He remembered being so nervous at first,
not wanting to let anyone down.  Now, after a
successful first mission in which he felt he did a
pretty good job he felt more comfortable with his
abilities and his place onboard the Aurora.  As he
closed his eyes his last thoughts were thoughts of
thanks.  These were not directed at anyone or anything
in particular.  It was just one of those moments when
the mind wanders and talks to whomever or whatever is
listening.::

(( Time Warp ? 0850 ))

::Ensign Powers awoke from his nap and rubbed his eyes
with the back of his hands.  A long stretch and a big
yawn and he was up.  He rolled over and checked to see
if he had missed any incoming transmissions or
communications while he had been asleep.  He noticed
that there was one from Lt. Cmdr Beta announcing a
debriefing at 0900.::

oO That?s ten minutes from now! Oo

::Max struggled to get ready and flew out of his
quarters.  Down the hallway and into the turbolift.
He had never moved so fast in his life.  The last
thing he wanted to do after a mission like the one
they just had was be late for the debriefing.::

(( Mess Hall, 0859 ))

::Ensign Powers flew into the mess hall and grabbed
one of the remaining seats around a large table.  All
of the other officers had already gathered around it.
No sooner had he sat down than Captain Parker entered
the room.::

GIBB:  Attention on deck!

::The officers came to attention as she entered.::

PARKER:  As you were people.

::Megan made her way to the head table, she had
several announcements to make to the crew on this
occasion.::

PARKER:  Sit please ...

::She waited while the officers found seats.::

PARKER:  Well, we did it.  We made it through our
first mission.  I'd like to tell you that I've made a
full report to Starfleet Command ... and they were
very impressed.

They are not going to give up on the survey of Caraban
II.  They will be sending another team shortly.  All
this is due to your efforts to repair and secure the
duck blind.

::She let the news sink in for a moment.::

PARKER:  I myself am very proud of each of you.  Even
though we lost Doctor Grees, it can not be placed on
you.  Without you, the Federation may have lost many
more ... as well as given a premature first contact to
a growing planet.

You should all give yourselves a pat on your backs
...you've earned it.

::There was a collective smile that went around the
table.  All of the officers exchanged glances and
smiles with one another.  Megan continues her address
to her officers.::

PARKER:  Now with all that in mind, I'd like Mister
Powers and Calhan to come forward.

::She waits till their standing before her, and moves
in front of Powers.::

PARKER:  Mister Powers, your performance during this
mission has been noted as exemplary.  You are a fine
example for all those in Engineering ... and to the
rest aboard the ship.

POWERS:  Thank you ma?am.  That means a lot to me.

PARKER:  (taking the small wooden box from her aide
behind her) It is therefore with great pleasure that I
promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade
effective immediately.

::She takes a moment to pin the new pip on his collar,
then holds out her had to shake his.::

PARKER:  Congratulations Lieutenant.  I'm sure this
will not be the last time I get to do this.

::Max was speechless.  He was at a loss for words.  He
was never one to babble and run on with his thoughts
but he was far from quiet.  This was a rare occasion.
He moved his mouth, trying to find the right words.
All he could find were two.

POWERS:  Thank you.

PARKER:  One other thing.  As you have shown great
engineering skill and leadership abilities, I'm also
assigning you as Chief Engineering Officer for Aurora.
Also effective immediately.

::Again she shakes his hand.::

POWERS:  Captain, I . . . I . . .

::Max closed his eyes and bit his lips.  He lowered
his head, almost as if bowing slightly as a way of
showing his gratitude and appreciation.  This was
definitely unexpected.  He couldn?t think of anything
that would make this moment any more special.::

::She moves over in front of Mister Calhan.::

PARKER:  Doctor, this was a difficult mission for the
medical department.  We kept you pretty busy down
there and you showed great promise in your actions.

CALHAN:  response

::Reaching back for a second box.::

PARKER:  As a surgeon myself, I understand the
pressures that come with the job, it is therefore with
great pleasure that I promote you to Lieutenant Junior
Grade effective immediately.

CALHAN:  response

::She pins the extra pip on his collar.::

PARKER:  (shaking his hand) Congratulations Doctor, we
may make a habit of this. (smiling)

CALHAN:  response

PARKER:  Medical does have a problem though.  As of
now, we have no Chief Medical Officer assigned.
Lieutenant, I'd like you to begin those duties
immediately.

CALHAN:  response

PARKER:  Just remember, I'm trusting you to keep my
crew safe and ready for duty.  I have faith in you.

::She steps back a step.::

PARKER:  You may return to your seats gentlemen.  I'm
sure the crew has words for you.

::After they set back down, Megan allowed a few
moments for congratulations to be given.  Everything
was still kind of a blur to the newly promoted
engineer but he could feel the congratulatory pats on
the back none the less.::

PARKER:  One more thing before we move on into the
party part of this morning.  Mister Jeris, if you'd
stand please.

Ensign Jeris has joined our Science Department.  I
trust each of you to make him feel welcome into our
little family.

JERIS:  response

::She pauses for a moment, then turns to her First
Officer.::

PARKER:  Commander, please adjust the duty roster to
show we're running minimum shifts.  Let the crew take
a rest.

We'll be docking back at the starbase in a few days.
Once we get the go ahead there ... we'll really be
ready for action.

Now ... is this a party or what?

::The music started and everyone cheered.  This was
going to be a night to remember.  The first thing Max
did was head over the Doctor Calhan.::

POWERS: Well hello there . . . Lieutenant.

::Max extended his hand and followed it up wit ha big
smile.::

CALHAN: response

POWERS: You deserve it.  You really did a great job
down there.  And discovering the berry!  That really
helped the entire mission.

CALHAN: response

(OOC: feel free to add as much as you want.  i?ll
backsim where needed)

the newly named CMO to congratulate him.::

POWERS: Well hello there . . . Lieutenant.

CALHAN: Thanks. You did great job too. I know we're
safe with such CEO. Mind a drink?

POWERS: I?d love one.  Bring me whatever you?re
having.

::Jophry replicated drinks for Max and himself.::

CALHAN: So, what do you think of the crew?

POWERS: So far so good.  I like everyone.  They all
seem to work pretty hard and are extremely dedicated
to the job at hand.

::As Lt JG Powers spoke he noticed that Jophry wasn?t
giving him his one hundred percent attention.  Max
didn?t take this personally.  From what he saw of the
CMO so far he knew that Lt. JG Calhan was a hard
worker that never stopped.  He seemed to have this
energy that never quit.  Max didn?t want to be rude
and hold the doctor up.::

POWERS: Hey, it?s nice talking with you but I?m going
to make the rounds and introduce myself to the newest
member of our crew.

::Max turned and headed towards Ensign Jeris.  He was
talking with Lt. Cmdr Solan when Max walked up.::

::Lt JG Powers thought about giving his rank and
position but Ensign Jeris was at the briefing and knew
full well what Powers? name and rank were.  Lt JG

:: Harley sat on the seat, listening to what Parker had to say,, the fact that starfleet was pleased with their efforts pleased Josh, even though by the end they had ... at least Harley had had to use force, he had tossed the event through his mind so many times, each time he had come to the same conclusion, he had done what needed to be done - bo regrets. ::

::Parker continues her address to her officers.::

PARKER: Now with all that in mind, I'd like Mister
Powers and Calhan to come forward.

:: Joshua knew what was comeing, no captain would tell an Officer offin front of everyone, they were proberly going to be given reconmendations for their actions on the planet. he was slightly surprised when they were given promotions, Max and Harley went through training together, Cahan arrived about a week later, this ment that they had forged a bond with eachother, being the new guys on the block so to speak. ::

:: The ceromery went on, the clapping the cheers, the utter astonishement Max and Cahan showed, Haley smiled, he wanted to be one the first to congratulate them. ::
PARKER: We'll be docking back at the starbase in a few days. 
Once we get the go ahead there ... we'll really be
ready for action.

Now ... is this a party or what?

:: Cheers went around the room, at the statement, Harley cheered after that mission, they needed a party, their first mission completed and approved by Starfleet, new ensigns either promoted or not were not green anymore many more to come. ::


HARLEY: :held out his hand: Congratulations guys.
Powers/Cahan: ???
:: They made their way over to the new Ensign. ::

SOLAN: ::Solan smiled.:: You'll do fine, I'm certain. ::Solan 
pointed out Lt. JG Dominus.:: The Lieutenant over there is our Chief 
Science Officer. Good man, good scientist.

JERIS: Ah, perhaps I should speak with him when I get a chance, then.

SOLAN: ::Solan grinned.:: I'll have to do some routine security work 
tomorrow morning to get your codes activated, but for now, we should 
both just enjoy the party.

::The promotion ceremony was winding down and the
officers were beginning to mingle.  Lt JG Powers
congratulated the newly promoted Doctor Calhan and was
making his way towards the newly assigned Ensign Jeris
when another officer approached and stopped him.::

THOMAS: Congratulations Lieutenant

POWERS: Thank you sir.

THOMAS: Well you had best get used to it.  There will
be many more to come.  I assure you.

POWERS: I?ve got my fingers crossed.  I just don?t
want to let anyone down.

THOMAS: response

::The reassurance was nice.  Max Powers felt good
knowing that although he had only been onboard the
Aurora for a short while, he was making a name for
himself.  He was glad that people appreciated the work
he did and the effort that he gave.

POWERS: I'm not interrupting anything, am I sir?

SOLAN: ::Solan shook his head in an emphatic no.:: Of

SOLAN: ::Solan turned back to Lt. Powers.::
Congratulations on your
promotion, Lieutenant.

POWERS: Thank you sir.

SOLAN: One step up. May it be the first of many.

::Max let out a little chuckle.::

POWERS: I hope so sir.  Let?s just hope I keep up the
good work.

::After the conversation with Ensigns Jeris and Harley
and Lt Cmdr Solan broke up Max made one more stop.::

POWERS: Good evening sir.

POWERS: Thank you sir.  I just wanted to say thank you
for everything you did on the mission.

BETA: response

POWERS: You had faith in me.  You trusted me.  You
gave me a chance to prove myself.  That means a lot to
me sir.

BETA: response

POWERS: I was nervous and at times I doubted myself
but you stuck by me.  Thank you.   I owe a lot of this
promotion to you.

BETA: response

OOC: Feel free to run with this as long as you want.

::The party continued long into the night.  Everyone
was mingling, talking, laughing, and smiling.  It was
definitely a joyous occasion for everyone on board the
Aurora.  Lt JG Powers hoped that this energy and
bonding would last well beyond this party and carry
over into the next mission.  Maybe even beyond.::

(( Time Warp ? Some time later ))

::Everyone was back on the bridge.  The Aurora was
making her final approach to Starbase 118 before the
docking procedure would begin.::

PARKER:  Mister Harley, keep us steady until base
operations is ready to pull us in.

HARLEY:  response

::It seemed like they were in the holding pattern for
several minutes, and Aurora was the only ship waiting.
  Megan had to wonder what the problem was.  When the
hail finally came to break the silence on the bridge,
it was a welcome relief.::

THOMAS:  response

PARKER:  Very good, signal affirmative.  Mister Harley
turn control over to the base.

HARLEY:  response

PARKER:  Mister Powers, take the warp core offline and
prepare us for external support mode.  I want this to
be an quick efficient operation.

POWERS:  Yes ma?am.  Would you like me to take impulse
offline as well?

PARKER:  No keep the impulse engines hot, we may need
them ... you know, just in case.

POWERS:  Yes ma?am.

::In the back of his mind max was hoping that there
wouldn?t be a ?just in case?.::

PARKER:  Mister Solan as soon as we're inside, take
weapons and tactical offline.

SOLAN:  Yes, ma'am. ::He responded brightly, he'd like
a chance to retune phaser array number 2.

PARKER:  Doctor, is your staff standing by for
emergencies?

::Max was again impressed with his CO.  She didn?t
take any chances.  Even though this was a simple

covered.  Nothing was going to get by her.::

CALHAN:  response

PARKER:  Very good.

Aurora was smoothy pulled inside, it was slow going
but efficient.  Within ten minutes Aurora was along
side her moorings.::

THOMAS:  response

hours, if all stations report secure.

You've all done a great job on our shakedown cruise.
Captain out. =/=

::All Lt JG Max Powers could do was smile.  He had
been doing that a lot lately and liked it.  That meant
things were going well.  He was glad that his first
mission was over.  He was glad to be back at the
starbase.  He was glad for his promotion.  But most of
all, he was glad to be on this ship with this crew.
He had a great feeling about their future and the
things that they could accomplish in the future.::

 | [sb118-aurora] Lt JG Max Powers, CEO - Personal Log
 | (( Personal Quarters ))

::Before heading out to the starbase for a little
rest, Max wanted to stop by his quarters for some
little quiet reflection time.::

POWERS: Computer, start personal log.

::The was a tiny bleep of compliance from the ship?s
computer.::

POWERS: Personal log, stardate 238208.31.  The mission
is over.  Aurora is a full fledged member of
Starfleet.  She preformed well as did her crew.  I had
my worries heading into the mission much like any
newly commissioned officer I assume.  Things started
off pretty well.  The crew was friendly and there were
some familiar faces from training which made the
transition easier.

The mission itself was interesting.  What started off
as a seemingly routine search and rescue turned into
anything but.  The members of the observation team had
suffered from some sort of acute hysteria brought on
by eating some local berries.  We were able to locate
all of the members from the observation team and bring
them back to the Aurora alive and well except for one
? Doctor Voran Grees.  We recovered his body from a
local government compound.  The details of our mission
will be outlined in other reports so I won?t dwell on
those here.  Instead I?d like to talk about my
commanding officers.

The crew has been great.  Lieutenant Commander Beta
was a great leader on the mission.  He trusted me.
Gave me responsibility.  He never seemed to loose
faith in me or my abilities.  Even when at time I
wasn?t sure what to do he showed nothing but the
utmost confidence in me.  His leadership has been a
huge boost to me and I believe he is a major reason
for my promotion.  If it wasn?t for the opportunity
that he afforded me on the away mission I wouldn?t
have been promoted.

Captain Parker has also shown some wonderful
qualities.  She definitely knows her stuff and leaves
nothing to chance.  She seems to have a deep love for
Starfleet and a profound sense of care and concern for
the crew and their wellbeing.  At times she seems very
serious and others more laid back and relaxed.  She is
able to wear whatever hat is needed at that particular
time and I really appreciate that.  She seems to know
just what to do to help the mission run smoothly.

The rest of the crew has been outstanding.  Everyone
excels at what they do.  Each played a major role in
the rescuing of the observation team.  I hope that
every one of them receives some sort of recognition
for their hard work.  I am eager to work with each of
them, to learn about them, and to befriend them.

My promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade and change of
duty to Chief Engineer has surprised me.  I am
grateful for the trust placed in me but a little
nervous at the same time.  This is a big
responsibility and I just hope I don?t let down the
ship or her crew.  With a new ship there shouldn?t be
any major problems, just minor adjustments to get the
most out of her as possible.  I can?t wait to get into
main engineering and see exactly how the Aurora held
up.  Maybe I?ll be able to sneak into engineering and
spend a little extra time with the system.  Luckily I
have a great help in Mr. Will Cristo.  He really seems
to know his stuff and did a fantastic job of holding
down engineering while I was on the away mission.

I can?t wait to see what the future brings.  The ship
and this crew seemed destined for great things.  I
feel fortunate to be a part of the history that is
about to be written.

Computer, end log.

::With a second bleep of compliance the computer ended
to log.  Max put a few belonging into a backpack and
headed out of his quarters and towards the Starbase.::

PARKER: Mister Harley, keep us steady until base
operations is ready to pull us in.

HARLEY: Aye, Holding at current co-ordinates.

:: Aurora was still, for a few minutes, she was according to sensors the only ship, making way to the starbase there was not even an outgoing ship. The OP's console bleeped to life a small sound which sounded louder due to the silence on the bridge. ::

:: Lt Thomas made the annoucement, Harley had already begun handing control to the starbase. ::

PARKER: Very good, signal affirmative. Mister Harley
turn control over to the base.

HARLEY: Already have, Ma'am

 | Captain Avatar: Coming aboard the Aurora
 | ((Transporter Room - Starbase 118))

::Captain Avatar and his crew remained on Starbase 118 as the USS
Columbia underwent repairs.  The Columbia was in need of a new warp
core before her mission with the Deloreans.  Fortunately, the Aurora
was also at Starbase for what would be a momentous occassion.  Avatar
had never been aboard a Nova Class ship, but he admired the design.
Like himself, Parker had fancied the idea of a science vessel.::

::As Avatar stepped onto the transporter platform, he held tightly a
gift that he was intending to give Parker.  It was a bottle of
Andoria's finest whiskey, "Ambassador Shras' Blue Label."  Avatar had
a small collection of the bottles and he had given away a couple of
gifts in the past.  Avatar tugged down on his white dress uniform and
signalled for the chief to energize.::

((Transporter Room 1 - Deck 2 - USS Aurora))

::The blue shimmering light materialized Captain Avatar on the
platform.  He was surprised to see that the transporter room was
absolutely full of white dress uniformed officers, including an
admiral whom he did not recognize.  The admiral and Commander Parker
quickly exited the transporte room in a hurry.  No one looked happy.::

::Avatar made eye contact with Commander Solan, who he had gotten to
know during the joint mission with the Victory.::

AVATAR: Solan, what is going on here?  I thought I was here for the party.

SOLAN: response

::Avatar shook the changeling's hand.  He then noticed that Commander
Beta, Parker's first officer was present.::

 | [sb118-aurora] Lt JG Max Powers, CEO - Decorating for the Admiral
 | (( Starbase 118 ))

::Lieutenant JG Powers was wondering around the
starbase taking in all the sights and sounds.
Starbase 118 was massive and had so much to offer.
While he had enjoyed his first mission aboard the
Aurora it was nice to get out and ?stretch his legs?
so to speak.  The Aurora didn?t have shops like these.
  It didn?t have holodecks period.  Starbase 118 was
buzzing with activity all about.::

::Max had settled into one of the libraries on the
middles levels and selected a book on advanced warp
core theory.  He never tired of studying and learning.
  Even when he was ?off duty? he seemed to be doing
something related to Starfleet.  He had gotten to the
chapter on warp field manipulation when he was
interrupted by his comm. badge.::

SOLAN: =/=Lt. Commander Solan to Lt. Powers. =/=

POWERS: =/=Ensign . . I mean Lt. Powers here. =/=

::The newly promoted officer was still getting used to
his new rank.  Even looking in the mirror was a little
funny with that extra pip attached to his collar.::

SOLAN: =/=Mr. Powers, we'll be having guests soon of
the Admiralty nature. Please have the mess hall
prepared. Don't hold back, Lieutenant. =/=

POWERS: =/= Yes sir. =/=

::The conversation was over almost as quickly as it
had began.  Max wasted little time and headed as fast
as he could towards the ship.::

(( Mess Hall ? Aurora ))

::The mess hall was . . . well . . . a mess.  The crew
had enjoyed their party and things had never really
been cleaned up.  The crew had used the mess hall on
their way to Starbase 118 but it hadn?t been cleaned
up properly.  Things were still in piles on the floors
or pushed into corners.  Everything was out of the way
but it was still there.::

::Max jumped up onto the first table he saw and
spoke.::

POWERS: Alright, everyone.  I?m going to need your
help.

::Those that were in the mess hall turned and looked
at the officer addressing them.  It was odd for them
to see a Starfleet officer standing up on a table.::

POWERS: I just got word that we?re going to be having
some very special guests.  Some pretty important
people.  I don?t know who exactly but I did get a rank
. . . admiral.

::He emphasized that last word with much dramatic
flare.  He wanted everyone to hear the word and listen
more closely.::

POWERS: We need this place looking better than it ever
has before.  After it?s cleaned we need to decorate
it.  Now, nobody has to help but any help will be
appreciated and I?m sure that the Admiral coming
onboard would personally thank anyone involved in the
process.  Who?s in?

::Lt Powers had done his best to try and garner up
some interest.  The thought of an Admiral personally
thanking them was intriguing to some but others didn?t
seem too excited about the proposition.  Those that
didn?t seem interested politely got up and left,
leaving Lt Powers with a few other people to help.::

POWERS: Alright guys.  I really appreciate it.  Let?s
get to work.

::The small band of workers got started cleaning.
After what seemed like ages the mess hall was as clean
as it had ever been.  The tables and chairs were all
arranged neatly in rows just as they had when Aurora
pulled away from the dock on her first mission.  The
floors were so clean that you could eat off of them.
Everything was in order.::

POWERS: Great work guys.  Now to decorate.  Anyone
have any ideas for a theme or anything?

::There was a general lull and murmur.  Nobody really
wanted to say anything.  They all had ideas but were a
little afraid at disappointing the Admiral.::

POWERS: Come on now.  I know you guys have some ideas.
  What do you have?  Remember, the only dumb idea is
the one you don?t share.

REAMS: How about Hawaiian?

POWERS: Hawaiian?  Like a luau?

REAMS: Yeah.  It could be fun.

POWERS: I don?t know about a whole drawn out luau.  It
might be a little much to get a pig roasting and sand
in here but I think that?s something we can work with.
  Anyone have any ideas?

EASTLY: Well sir, we could use some tiki-torches and
set them up around the place.

POWERS: Good idea!  I like that.  What else do you
guys have?

REAMS: Could we get some pineapple to use as center
pieces?  Or maybe even for drinks?  I think I remember
seeing that from 20th century pictures.

POWERS: Me too.  Hm?.I?m sure we could replicate
something.  Now for music.

::Everyone was at a loss here.  They didn?t seem to
know what kind of music to play.  They decided to
check the computer to see what it suggested.::

POWERS: Computer, what kind of music would be
appropriate for a Hawaiian themed party?

COMPUTER: Traditional Hawaiian music consists of
chants and hula dancing.  During the 20th century a
Hawaiian musician named Don Ho made a song called
?Tiny Bubbles? popular.

POWERS: Thank you computer.  Don Ho it is.  Computer,
search memory for music by Don Ho.

COMPUTER: Searching . . . found.

POWERS: Great.  Computer, can you put together a
compilation of his songs as well as traditional
Hawaiian music for our party?

COMPUTER: Affirmative.

POWERS: Well then, we?re all set.  We have our theme.
We know what we?re decorating.  We have music.  What
are we missing?

EASTLY: What about clothing?  Didn?t they used to wear
those crazy shirts?  You know the ones with the
pictures all over them of hula girls or surf boards or
old cars or something?

REAMS: Yes, you?re right.  I remember that too.

POWERS: Well then, we?ll have to get those Hawaiian
shirts for everyone.  Reams, you get the tiki-torches.
  Eastly, I want you to get the pineapples, and I?ll
work on getting the clothes.  This is going to be good
guys.  Meet back here as soon as you can.  I want this
to be done as quickly as we can.  I don?t know how
long we have until the Admiral arrives.

::Everyone went off to collect what they needed.::

oO I hope this is what Lt. Cmdr Solan was taking
about. Oo

:: The Aurora was a Nova Class vessel and so was the
first one that Nugra stood on. It had more of a nicer
and cozier feel then the victory. No doubt, the
Victory was a warship and The Aurora was one of Star
Fleet's best science ships. ::

NUGRA: oO They made an intelligent decision putting
Commander Parker in charge.....correction, *Captain*
Parker. Oo

:: Nugra stood tall and firm as he kept his distance
between the Captain and the first officer. As his new
position as Chief of Security AND tactical, it was now
his duty to guard the two with his very life. Hurne
was speaking pleasently with everybody and he turned
to him. ::

HURNE: I see something missing Mr Nugra

:: Nugra nodded trying to keep the embarresment down.
He had not told the Captain though from the man's eyes
the Gorn could tell he knew. ::

NUGRA: Aye, sir. I am not officially allowed to wear
my Gorn uniform any longer, sir.

:: The welcome commitee arrived and Nugra allowed them
to talk to everybody. The Gorn stepped back and kept
his eye on his charges. Phaser hidden in his pocket
just in case. A good security officer was always
ready! ::

 | [sb118-aurora] Lt JG Max Powers, CEO - And it's begun
 | ((Mess Hall))

::Powers was working hard with the other two members
of the Aurora crew to get the mess hall ready.  Things
were looking good but it was missing something.::

POWERS: We need some more.  We need those flower
necklaces that I?ve seen in pictures.  What are those
called . . .

::His voiced trailed off as he searched for the name
of the flowery necklace.::

REAMS: I believe they are called leis sir.

POWERS: Excellent.  ::he proceeded to the nearest
replicator.::  Computer, leis for everyone who will be
at the party.

::Instantly the computer replicated leis for everyone.
  Lt JG Powers put them on a table at the entrance of
the mess hall along with the Hawaiian shirts.  He
figured that everyone could put them on if they wanted
but he didn?t want to force it upon anyone.::

EASTLY: What about those huts from the pictures?  We
could hang some from the ceiling to give a different
feel to the room.

::The three all liked the idea.  They weren?t sure
what plant the Hawaiians had used to make their huts
but they picked some plants that looked close.
Together they hung them over part of the ceiling but
left about half uncovered.  They wanted to create the
feel of moving from inside the hut to outside.  The
effect worked nicely when it was all done.  It was no
more than ten minutes after the three had finished
getting ready that the guests started to arrive.  Max
wanted to help break the ice so he grabbed one of the
brightest and loudest Hawaiian shirts and put it on
over his dress uniform, leaving the shirt unbuttoned.
He also donned a lei as Ensign Reams had called it.::

::The party had started smoothly and almost everyone
was there.  Only the Captain and her guests were
missing.::

::Solan had shapeshifted his hand to include a small
coffee cup, and some liquid. He found it made it
easier for people to talk to him.  Solan stood towards
the rear of the gathering, observing for the most
part.  It was very good to see some old friends from
the Victory, they had been away for only a short time,
but it felt like a lot longer.  Solan could still
picture the Security Office on the Victory.  He was
willing to bet Lt. Commander Nugra had gotten that
post. Well deserved.  Solan noticed Lt. Powers a short
distance away, and strode towards him.::

SOLAN: Lieutenant, excellent work. ::Solan gestured to
the decorations.::

POWER: Thank you sir.  I actually got the idea from
two others stationed aboard the Aurora.  Ensigns Reams
and Eastly.

SOLAN: I'm not entirely familiar with the style, but
everyone seems comfortable here.

POWERS: I tried to study 20th century Earth history
growing up.  It was such an amazing time.  That?s when
all of their technological advances started to happen.
  Somehow though, Hawaii always seemed to lag a little
behind the hustle of the rest of the world and stay
very relaxed.  A popular vacation spot I understand.

SOLAN: I see, Hawaiian? Is that on earth?

POWERS: Yes sir.  I know this may be a little out of
place but do you know what this is for?

SOLAN: response

POWERS: My guess is Captain Parker.  I?m hoping that
this is her promotion ceremony.  I know I?ve only been
with her a short while but I?d like to see her make it
official and get the rank of Captain.  She?s obviously
deserved it if they gave her Starfleet?s newest ship.
Plus, aren?t most of these guests from the Victory?

SOLAN: response

POWERS: And that was Parker?s last assignment right?

SOLAN: response

POWERS: It just all seems to make sense to me.

::Only time would tell if the two were right.  Max
Powers had a feeling that he would have to wait too
long.  People were beginning to mingle but Starfleet
didn?t like the be kept waiting and neither did its
officers.::

 | CMO Harden ? USS Aurora
 | (USS Aurora Science Vessel / Mess Hall)

::Behind Captain Hurne and Lt.Cmdr. Nugra, Julia had a hard time
seeing around them into the mess hall. She could hear Don Ho's voice
singing and recognized the tune but couldn't quite put a name to it.
That evening on the holodeck was fast becoming a very vague memory.
But she remembered the walk on the Hawaiian beach after dinner and
the show at Don Ho's. A long time ago.

Capt. Hurne moved off to greet Capt. Avatar and Nugra moved aside
allowing her to take in the amazing view. A young ensign walked up
and held a lei up in front of her. She bowed her head and he placed
it over her head. Smoothing and straightening it over the front of
her dress whites, Dr. Harden smiled. Fleetingly, her thoughts were
back on the holodeck and with John.::

HARDEN: ::Softly:: Thank you.

NUGRA: What have they done to this room? Someone needs to be put in
the Brig!

TABOO: ::turning to Nugra..:: Not in the party mood commander?

NUGRA: I never party, Commander.

::Surprised, Julia looked up at Mr. Nugra. The outburst had managed
to break her introspective mood. Thankfully, too. It wasn't good to
know that she'd been there with John and was now seeing another's
face in the moonlight.

Picking up a coconut shell with a white creamy liquid in it, Julia

Phoenix. She headed in his direction not really noticing that
Lt.Cmdr. Nugra was again just ahead of her.

On the way, she watched for familiar faces. Seeing Solan with his
hand shaped like a cup, she grinned. Beta was moving toward a young
woman. She looked at Commander Parker and again grinned with
delight.::

PHOENIX: I could ask Julia for some corks?

::The question was directed at Nugra. What was that all about? Julia
would have to start paying attention.

When Captain Hurne moved away, Julia watched him. She couldn't help
the smile that reached her eyes. She knew what was going to happen
and after the initial opening sentences, the captain said that one
all important sentence.::

HURNE: Commander Parker. By the power invested in me by Star Fleet it
is a great pleasure to promote you to Captain. With all the rights
and privileges that go with said rank.

::The applause was deafening.::

(( Corridors - USS Aurora ))

CALHAN: I suppose so. But I won't completely calm down before I know
what's going on. Aren't you concerned?

:: Josh clamped a hand on Jo's shoulder in a friendly way. ::

HARLEY: (Wrly) Let's, just enjoy the party.

CALHAN: Right. I just like to know what's happening.

:: Josh slowed them both down for the group behind to catch. Jo
didn't mind that really. He was starting to ease. Harley looked over
his shoulder to the following party.::

HARLEY: What do you think of the ship?

NUGRA: The ship quite small, but admirably built.

HARLEY: Yes, You've only seen a few corridoors, but there's a real
sense of togetherness here, even though we've been together for only
a short time.

NUGRA: Quite. I'm Lieutenant Commander Nugra, Chief
officer of Tactical and Security.

::Calhan took a brief look. It was quite surprising to see a Gorn.
Probably more surprises to come with so many people aboard.::

HARLEY: response

NUGRA: I am honoured to meet another officer of the
Fleet. Served long as Helm officer aboard the Aurora?

HARLEY: response

TABOO: Lieutenant Commander Taboo, Acting First
Officer and Chief Science Officer of the USS
Independence.

::Calhan was overwhelmed by walking in front of two unknown senior
officers. He felt small and insignificant. And he had a feeling they
think of him so despite their courtesy.::

TABOO: Tell me something, the Captain that just beamed
aboard with his entourage.  That was Captain Hurne
right?

NUGRA: Correct, Mr. Taboo. My Captain to be precise.

HARLEY: response, if any.

TABOO: Ah, I was just wondering..  I've never met
anyone outside of the Itahasse fleet, this whole thing
is quite overwhelming when your new... But exciting
all the same..

oO Quite true. Oo ::it ran through Jophry's mind.::

HARLEY: response, if any.

TABOO: What is the ceremony for, promotions?

NUGRA: I beleive it's a promotion ceromony.....though,
I was invited here by Captain Parker....

::The news was so reassuring that Jo decided to put his shields
down.::

CALHAN: Ah, finally we get to know what it is all about! ::he laughed
and turned his head over to them:: Lt. jg Jophry Calhan, Chief
Medical Officer aboard this fine vessel.

HARLEY: response, if any.

TABOO: Excellent, congratulations....

NUGRA: Mr. Taboo, Am I correct that you serve on the
same USS Independence that Fleet Captain Anassasi is
commanding officer of?

TABOO: response

NUGRA: I see. I have met your Captain once or twice in
the hallways of the Academy on Starbase 118. I have
heard that she is is an excellent officer and leader.

TABOO: response

::The two were back in their world. Doctor kept silent until they
reached the mess hall.::

((Mess hall))

::Jo was stunned with what he saw. The scenery was... exotic. That
was a perfect word for the pineapples, plants stretching from the
ceiling and above all colorful shirts and flower necklaces. It
reminded him of Earth, though he could not place it specifically. He
refused the shirt but accepted a lei instead. He still was not in
party mood, so he sat quietly in the corner, sipped his drink and
watched a whole lot of people having the fun. Not knowing most of
them and not feeling too well with the crowd, Jophry just waited for
his Captain's return.::

::When she arrived, the official part begun. Jo hoped for some
explanation to Admiral's arrival but Westlake said only few words and
quickly gave notice to Captain Hurne.::

::When the forth pip finally rested on Parker's collar, Jophry smiled
and applauded heavily. He knew that his captain was an outstanding
officer.::

oO Congratulations, Captain Parker. You've well deserved it. Oo

::After a brief moment of consideration if he could ever take this
position, Jo thought of joining to congratulate the promoted, but the
crowd of those doing so was so dense, that he decided to remain in
place. Certainly there will be time later.::

 | ((Mess Hall - USS Aurora))

::It continued to be a festive occassion in the Aurora Mess Hall
following the long overdue promotion of Captain Parker.  Captain
Avatar was appreciative of being present at the ceremony and was
equally satisfied to have the opportunity to reunite with old friends.
  As conversations continued about, Avatar was saddened by the thought
that something was ending.  Hurne, Avatar, and Parker were now
completely on their own as full fledged captains.  It was time now for
Avatar to leave behind the past memories of his shipmates on the
Victory and move forward.  The Columbia had been his command for
almost 18 months now, the trip down Victory memory lane was over.::

::Avatar swallowed the last of the gin martini that he had ordered
earlier, leaving three olives behind in the glass.  Captain Hurne had
just finished polishing off his blood wine and appeared to close to
calling it an evening himself.::

AVATAR: Captain, I think it's time that I get back to my ship.  We
have a warp core to install and a mission to get underway.  It has
been a pleasure to see you again.

HURNE: response

::Commander Phoenix was not far away.::

AVATAR: Robin, make sure you take good care of that XO chair.

PHOENIX: response

::Avatar exchanged handshakes with the both of them before saying
goodbye to a few others, especially Lt. Cicero.::

AVATAR: Nick, if Hurne ever kicks you off the Victory, give me a call.
  The Columbia would love to have an officer of your caliber.

CICERO: response

AVATAR: Of course don't tell Hurne about this, he'll think I'm
campaigning for his officers.  ::Smiling.:: Take care of yourself old
friend and may we meet again out there.

CICERO: response

::Avatar gave Cicero a hearty handshake before making his last stop
before departing the Aurora.  Captain Parker looked complete with her
fourth pip, an honor that few have achieved.::

AVATAR: Good luck Captain and remember, the Columbia is only a
subspace communication away if you run into any trouble...not that you
will of course.

PARKER: response

AVATAR: See you around the galaxy.

PARKER: response

::Avatar gave Megan a light hug before exiting.  He was proud of her
accomplishments and looked forward to seeing what else the former
doctor and current captain was destined.::

THOMAS: Doctor, we've to take inventory of the supplies and ensure all medical
equipment is in working order

CALHAN: Medicine? Are we going to deal with ill?

THOMAS: I'm unsure.  We will be briefed on the reasoning later

::Jo moved along the crates, checking the cargo. It was mostly drugs and medical
equipment as said. Stimulants and anesthetics generally. It must have meant they
were going to aid someone dealing with plague. The sort of medicine suggested
that the threat was yet to be specified and cure to be found. Kind of task that
really put bacteria scans far back in doctor's mind.::

CALHAN: I think we're done ::he said closing the last crate.:: Looks like
everything's in order.

CALHAN: The Neutral Zone?

:: Josh tapped his console, this was routine, the neutral zone had been visted so many times, so many patrols had passed along it's unseen borders, some ships had even crossed over the border on many occasions, the Enterprise was the first ship that had come to his mind, but others had as well, especially during the Domionion war. And here Aurora headed, to join a short list of ships to cross the unseen border. ::
 
:: Morale was hig, but there was a touch of apprehension towards this mission .. maybe not the mission itself but to the 'real' reason, numous times Josh had heard whispers in the mess hall, rumours here and there, even amongst his own staff, the last Josh had heard was that there was an alterier motive about the Aurora... some said a medical ship like the USS Ulize, or Costa De Sol, should be making this run, Josh had stopped the chatter there and then, dead in it's tracks, however the 1st seed had been planted in his mind ... he had managed to push it away ... he just hoped that the chatter was unfounded. ::

interesting to see what our scans reveal..

We are going to scan them are we not Captain...

Ma'am, they'll know if we scan them, it may be
perceived as a hostile act.

PARKER: Are you sure you're not the telepath Solan,
cause you read my mind?

TABOO: Captain, they're scanning us!

SOLAN: Captain, requesting permission to raise
shields.

PARKER: Negative Commander ... let them see we're no
threat.

:: Harley kept an eye on his sensors, being scanned, a first..::

PARKER: Commander Falcon ... anything you can tell us
about this new Bird of Prey?

FALCON: Nothing about this particular class of ship,
I'm afraid. Seems it got missed with all the
attention being focused on the Scimitar. Though if
that ship is any indication, this one might be able to
shield and fire while cloaked. Their disruptor
technology is also moving along well One rumor I
heard, though, was that they've been working on their
plasma weapons technology again. No clue where they
were heading with it, but it's probably been
restarted. As a whole, I doubt it's as strong as a
D'Deridex or a Norexan, but I'm afraid to say we're
probably a little out of our league.

PARKER: A good thing we're not here to fight then.

a position directly above Aurora, matching her course

of this area as we press on.

 | ((Airlock - USS Aurora))

::The airlock door opened to the Aurora and Captain Avatar was aboard
the Aurora for the second time.  The last time he was here was during
Parker's promotion to captain.  Unfortunately his second trip was far
more somber.  Commanders Solan and Beta greated him as he entered the
ship through the airlock.::

AVATAR: Commander Solan, Beta, good to see you both again. I assume
you have heard what happened.

::It was difficult to determine what Solan or Beta's reactions were.
Solan was a changeling and Beta, a Soong type Android.  This could
make the investigation all the more difficult.::

SOLAN: Not the specifics, only a few sketchy details. I don't mind
saying I'd like more information.

AVATAR: Well that is what I am here to find out. Starfleet has placed
me in charge of this inspection. You will remain in command of the
Aurora for the time being, but I'm afraid you will all have to remain
on board this ship until I have completed my inspection.

SOLAN: ::Solan nodded.:: Very well.

AVATAR: Please arrange for me to speak with your senior staff as soon
as possible.

SOLAN: ::Solan nodded again.:: We're at your disposal. But, Captain,
I'd like a chance to brief them on what's happened. They have a
right to know.

::Avatar paused for a moment and considered the commander's request.
After careful consideration, Avatar decided that it was the correct
decision on the part of Solan.::

AVATAR: Agreed commander.  You know your crew better than I do.

SOLAN: Thank you, sir. ::Solan gestured to Beta.:: Commander, would
you escort the Captain to the briefing room? I'll speak with the
crew and get the interviews arranged.

BETA: (Response)

::Commander Solan left the airlock area of the Aurora, presumably to
meet with the rest of the senior staff.  Avatar did not know Commander
Beta as well as he knew Solan.  Beta had just come on board the
Victory when Avatar had departed for the Columbia.  Commander Beta
also did not play a major role in the joint mission between the
Victory and the Columbia either.  So although he was familiar with
Commander Beta from what Captain Parker had told him, the man was
mostly a mystery to him.::

AVATAR: I am sorry about what happened to Captain Parker.  This
inquiry is not at all enjoyable for me, but it must be done.  I would
almost rather be interrogated by the Tal Shiar again.

::Avatar ran his fingers through his hair, brushing past the antennae
that had only partially grown back following his interrogation with
Uhlan Tomal.::

board and I understand that you were away for part of the mission.

 | Captain Avatar: Leaving the Aurora
 | OOC: This will be my final sim with the Aurora group.  It has been fun simming
with you guys for the last two weeks, but this is now Admiral Hollis' show.  I
leave you all to one of the finest commanding officers that the fleet has ever
known.  You are a wonderful crew and you will enjoy your time with your new ship
and new CO.  Good luck to you all!

((The Shark Tank - Starbase 118))

AVATAR: As you may know, I now have my own ship, the Columbia. I'll be master of
that vessel for two years this March. Time flies when you are in the captain's
chair I suppose. How's the Kodiak these days? I know she's not the same ship
that I remember, but she still carries the name.

Franky: "You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet And I got a lot of
things to say And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me Till it's all
talked away"

HOLLIS: Kodiak's death was brutal. We lost hundreds of good officers. The enemy
. . . deminsional invaders . . they asked for no quarter. None could be given.

::Avatar could tell there was sorrow in the admiral's voice.  Losing a ship and
officers under one's own command was like losing your own children.  He could
still picture the Dauntless Class Kodiak.  She was an immense almost nautical
looking starship.  She had class too.

Hollis: Then a new Kodiak and five years stationed at DS17. I reconnected with
my family in way a boy can't. We did a tour in the founding worlds, and now two
years out Itahassa. It has been a good run.

:Hollis motions for a re fill. ::

Hollis: Time change . . every seven years. Gher is stepping down. His last
request was I take on a new vessel. It is a Sovereign class; a replacement for
Titan.

::Avatar was familiar with the Titan as well.  The Columbia's late barkeep had
served on the Titan for quite some time.  He was pleased that the Starbase 118
fleet would be receiving a new Sovereign Class ship.  Admiral Hollis would be
the perfect choice to command a ship of that level of grace and power.::

Hollis: I accepted. I need to get back out to the frontier soon . . .
and we need a good command crew. I understand you interviewed the
Aurora crew. That you know many of them personally?

AVATAR: I served with Commanders Solan, Thomas, and Beta on the Victory before I
took command of the Columbia and I had the opportunity to renew that
acquaintance several months back when the Columbia and the Victory worked
together on a mission.

Hollis: What kind of shape are they in? They read well on paper, but
what are they like in person?

AVATAR: They are a lot tougher than I thought they would be.  The loss of a
captain is not easy for any starship.  However, they have been battle-tested and
they are certainly well prepared for any challenge that might be in store for
them.  If you are looking for a first officer, Lieutenant Commander Solan should
be high on the list of contenders.

Hollis: I'd be obliged if you would send LCMD Solan my way so we can
discuss it.

AVATAR: I will do so, sir.

:: And in the background the music goes on. ::

Franky: "Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your gettin' pretty
anxious to close So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my
bendin' your ear This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon
might explode So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
That long, long road"

AVATAR: Admiral, if you want my opinion, the only way you are going to get Solan
is if you take the whole Aurora crew with you to your new command.  That may not
be such a bad idea either.  You have a crew that has already proven that it can
work together.  With all due respect, sir.  Where else are you going to find a
complete set of senior officers who are already ready to fill the positions on
your ship?

HOLLIS: response

AVATAR: The decision is yours of course, sir.  I had best be going.  I need to
depart for the Victory.  Captain Hurne has taken a permanent position with
Intelligence and Commander Phoenix will be assuming command of the Victory.

HOLLIS: response

AVATAR: Thanks for the drink and as the humans would say, godspeed!

HOLLIS: response

::Avatar exited the Shark Tank lounge.  The Columbia's Captain's Yacht, the USS
Kumari would be departing the Starbase within an hour.  This would give Avatar
just about enough time to talk with Commander Solan.::

::As he walked to the gangway leading to the Aurora, Avatar reflected on what
Admiral Hollis had just told him.  Avatar was quite aware that Hollis had only
served on starships named Kodiak so this would be a major change of direction
for the admiral.  Perhaps it was a new challenge that an experienced officer
such as Admiral Hollis needed at this point in his career.::

::After showing his credentials to the security guard, Avatar entered the Aurora
for what would in all likelihood be the last time.  She would now become the
care of another crew.  As Avatar walked through the gangway to the Aurora, he
noticed a magnificent Sovereign Class ship out the window.  He wondered if this
was the vessel that Admiral Hollis would be commanding.

((Sickbay - USS Aurora))

AVATAR: Commander Solan?  Do you have a moment?

SOLAN: response

AVATAR: The CMO's office would suffice.  Don't worry it doesn't have a thing to
do with the investigation.  It is more about an opportunity for you.

SOLAN: response

::The two officers exited the main area of sickbay and entered the office
generally occupied by Doctor Calhan.  Solan appeared curious about what Avatar
was about to say.::

AVATAR: Solan, I don't know if you are familiar with Rear Admiral Hollis Calley,
but he's currently on the starbase and he wants to meet with you about
something.

SOLAN: response

AVATAR: He may be presenting you with an offer that will have a profound impact
on your Starfleet career.  Consider it carefully, but keep in mind that what he
will offer you will be a tremendous opportunity.

SOLAN: response

AVATAR: I am afraid that I will have to leave your questions to the admiral.  I
must also be leaving you now.  I wish you good luck in your future adventures,
Commander.  Until we meet again.

SOLAN: response

::Avatar exchanged a handshake with the changeling officer and departed the
Aurora.  The crew would prosper under Admiral Hollis.  Nearly every commanding
officer in the Starbase 118 fleet had either served under Hollis directly or had
their previous commanding officer serve with him.::

::Before leaving on the Kumari, Avatar made one final stop in the Starbase 118
medical facility to say goodbye to his old friend, Captain Megan Parker.::

::Away Team Log, Cadet Stiofain Zennak reporting.  We are about to dock with
the Caldonian science station.  We know very little about the status of the
station, and have been ordered to wear biohazard suits.  As security officer
I have been placed in charge of this mission.::

Zennak: OK as soon as we dock we're going to have to search the entire
station.  To save time we're going to split into two teams.   Hawkesmoore
you're with me and we're going to search from the docking bay and then search
upward.  Baltizar and Quinn you're going to search the lower decks.  I want
you to keep comm. channels open at all times.  Before we leave the shuttle
I'm setting the transporters to keep a lock on us.  At the first sign of any
danger to yourself contact the shuttle for emergency beam out.  Take no
chances.  We're here to investigate, that's all.  There is no way Lcmd Graves
would want us to blindly put ourselves in danger.

::The shuttle docks with the Station::

Zennak: OK, you have your orders.  Lets split up, and like I said before be
careful.

 | [sb118-aurora] Captain Toni Turner - Old friendships never change
 | ((Utopia Planita's Holodeck ))

Turner: ::smiling warmly:: I'm sure you both make a good team. ::glancing around the room:: Do you think we will be starting soon?

Eerie: Captain, hopefully, Social functions are not my strong point.

Matthews: I'm not sure ma'am, the rest of the senior staff should be along soon.

::Alexander looking around to see the security teams are in place.::

Turner: It looks as if Lt. Commander Barnes' handiwork is in play. He and I served together on the USS Challenger. ::glancing at them quizzically:: Tell me, does he still curse in Klingoneze? 

Eerie: Yes, Sire.

Matthews: Response

Turner: ::laughing slightly:: Yes, we would be on the bridge and he would come out with something that would totally crack us up.

Eerie: Of course, I took Klingon in secondary school, I know sufficient to get me in trouble. Sire. ::It was meant to be a statement, but it came off very dry and cool::

Matthews:

Turner: We did have fun, but ::more seriously:: the main thing was that we trusted each other's abilities, and when the chips were down we knew we could count on each other.

Eerie: Captain, Matthews, here is a good pilot, we and the rest of our little team had one little adventure together, were we went after Lt. Cmdr. Barnes, Lt. Cmdr. Dickens , and the rest of the their away team, it was an interesting trip.

Matthews:

Turner: Other than Lt. Commander Barnes, I served with Lt. Commander T'Lea on the Challenger and the Constitution. And served with Captain Vetri on the Constitution and at the Academy, as well as Lt. Commander Dickens. I guess it is fair to say we all came up through the ranks with each other and the friendships have survived the test of time.

::Eerie thought about this for a moment, he had not formed any close attachments during his entire time at the academy, but he felt he was making headway on the Aurora.

Eerie: Hopefully Cmdr. Dickens will be at the ceremony, Captain, but good to have close friends, Sire.

Matthews: response

Blackwood: Looking very smart in your dress robes Eerie. Very nice.

::She continued walking by them::

Eerie: Ensign Black wood,::raising his voice a bit:: please join us.

Blackwood : Response

::Eerie saw Blackwood?s head turn and then she changed direction, coming over to the Captain and LT. Matthews

Eerie : Ensign, This is Captain Turner, ::turning to the Captain:: Captain this is Ensign Blackwood, she is in our Science Department, working with Lt. Cmdr. T?Lea. 

Blackwood : Response

Turner: ::shaking her hand:: Glad to see you again, Ensign. You have one of the best teachers in Commander T'Lea. I trust she is not getting you into too much trouble?

Blackwood: Response

Matthews: Response

::The holodeck room doors opened and Toni saw Barnes enter, looking around to check on his guards. He stopped and turned a complete 360, then approached, nodding to the three officers with her, and kissing her on the cheek. ::

Barnes: Toni, it?s good to see you again and please don?t believe anything these three tell you it?s all lies.

Turner: Good to see you too, Hugh. ::teasing:: We were just talking about you, and some of your Klingoneze phrases.::

Others : Respond.

Barnes: How?s Heath?

::She and Heath had parted so long ago that she hadn't thought about running into that question, but here it was, and her answer even surprised her.::

Turner: ::Shrugging:: Your guess is as good as mine.

::Smiling Barnes turned to his associates.

Barnes: Do not under any circumstances ever let this woman in the pilots seat.

::Laughing Barnes looked back at Turner with a knowing smile. She smiled back, knowing exactly what he was talking about. ::

Barnes: So how are things with the easy life? The embassy must be pretty quite after the Challenger?

Turner: Easy? ::chuckles:: Don't I wish. The Thunder was called to duty in the midst of the Battle for Bajor. We ran into some heavy resistance from Brotherhood members who were with the Orions. We just got back to Duronis II. We're hoping for some breathing time before the start of the Laudean elections. 

Blackwood/Matthews/Eerie/Barnes: Response

Turner: I understand you have a Laudean in your crew. I would be interested in finding out how she feels about the duty since as far as I know, she is the only in Starfleet.

 | Aurora Bonsignore (NPC): Riding with Rumek
 | (( Rumek's ship, just beyond Titan's sensor range ))

:: Everything was proceeding according to the plan
Rumek had laid out for them earlier. Aurora Bonsignore
stood on the bridge and glanced over as Rumek intently
watched the progress of his brainchild of a mission.
Much as she loathed Rumek, the plan certainly was
cunning. What better way to get back at that
Federation Captain and crew than to have him attack
and destroy his own ship. ::

:: Aurora had been with the organisation for several
years now. Of course, she was not one of the motley
assortment of unsavory characters that had so
characterised Hevok's villainous band, but she did her
best to appear one of them. In reality, she worked for
Romulan intelligence. The Romulan government had a
great deal of support invested, covertly, of course,
in Hevok's organisation. Her job was to monitor the
investment, and make sure it paid dividends for
Romulus. ::

:: She hadn't enjoyed her undercover time, but
enjoyment was not part of the requirement. The death
of Hevok had played havoc with the organisation's
ability to harass the Federation. ::

:: That was all about to change however. The scheme
Rumek had devised to strike back at that Captain
Draigon was truely brilliant, and if it worked, it
would represent a blow to the Federation: the loss of
not only an experienced captain, but of a Sovereign
Class battleship. ::

:: The irony of it all was that Aurora was human, yet
worked for the Romulans, and was posing as a member of
an even more assorted group of pirates, lowlifes, and
villains. She wouldn't enjoy seeing the Titan
destroyed, but it wouldn't be the first time she'd had
to come down on a side against her own people, and it
probably wouldn't be the last. ::

:: She brushed a few strands of her long auburn hair
out of her face and glanced down at the telemetry
readings coming in from the "Ranger". That was a
fairly large investment on the part of the Romulan
government, building a nearly identical model of a
Federation Nebula Class vessel. This had better work.
::

:: The readings she saw when she glanced down,
however, were not encouraging. ::

Bonsignore: Damn!

Rumek: response

Bonsignore: I'm lookin at the readings we're getting
from the ship with that Fed on it. There's weapons
fire going on. The Titan is already fighting someone

Rumek: response

Bonsignore: I don't know, can't tell. The data feed
isn't that great.

Rumek: response

Bonsignore: I'm working on it, I'm working on it!

:: There were far too many variables. How long could
the Captain stand the strain of the hookup to the
"ranger"? What would the presence of a second ship do?
Would it help or hinder? The plan had made first
contact with the enemy, and on cue, it was falling
apart. ::

(OOC: something to think about on the Rumek angle,
cappy. ;) )

Nothing can be done about it

he's sending a transmission. If Titan is still within
range, they're going to pick it up and figure out who
he is.

Ranger went dead. No information. nothing ::

 | Aurora Bonsignore(NPC): the plan progresses
 | RUMEK: We couldn't have lost the feed unless someone
already knows we
are here. If that is the case then we need to make
sure we are not
found. Is the cloaking device still intact?

Bonsignore: Yes. All systems are active, and emmisions
are within normal ranges. We're fully cloaked.

RUMEK: Activate all Cloaked satellites.

Bonsignore: We were going to task them with watching
Titan. If we redirect them, we could lose the Titan if
she decides to run.

RUMEK: I know they are there to collect data on the
Titan but they will
not be able to do so if this project doesn't continue.
So move us
slowly into a position that we can use the satellites
to circumvent the
jammed area like you would a planet. You should then
be able to reestablish
our link.

Bonsignore: Yes sir. Bringing satellites on-line now.

:: She got things going, and plotted a course. The
question was what to do? someone was trying to draw
them out, but who? It couldn't be the Titan, they
didn't know they were there. The only people who could
have a hint of their being there were the Romulans.
But why would they want to mess things up now? ::

Bonsignore: The link is coming up now. It's a bit
fuzzy, but it should clear up as we get closer.

Rumek: response

Bonsignore: who's out there, do you think?

Rumek: response

:: The tactical feed came back on-line ::

Bonsignore: sir, the Titan is coming back towards the
Ranger. Maybe they figured out who's on board Ranger?

 | {sb118-aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: Operation!!
 | ((Aurora Sickbay))

::Re'Maru was hunkered over her patient when the transporting sequence
ended. She then moved to the patient's head and spoke out to no one in
particular.::

Re'Maru: I need assistance here, stat. This crewman has a fractured
spine. If we hurry, we might be able to prevent paralysis.

Malcolm: Doctor?

::She glanced over her shoulder to see a human woman in a medical
officer's uniform.::

Re?Maru: Are you a physician?

Malcolm: Jen Malcolm. CMO. What do we have here?

Re?Maru: Doctor Re'Maru, newly transferred ... We have a spinal
fracture along the C5 vertebrae. If we hurry, we should be able to
repair the fracture before paralysis is permanent. We need to get him
onto the bed.

::Jen left for a brief moment to retrieve a storage container from one
of the cabinets. She knew right where the one she wanted had been
placed, as she had put it there herself. The tedious task of stocking
Sickbay was proving quite useful. She returned to Re?Maru:::

Malcolm: ::opening the case:::  Mobility restriction units, if you
find them necessary.

::Re'Maru hurried to put the units in place in order to move the
patient. She looked up at nodded to Dr. Malcolm.::

Re?Maru: Help me get him up onto the bed.

::Together they got the crewman up on the bed, face down. Re'Maru
hurried to apply the treatments. The bed activated, showing the
patient's injuries. There seemed to be a couple of other, but the
Romulan focused on the most severe.::

Malcolm: Doctor, were you one of the crew that were trapped?

Re?Maru: ::Nodded absently, more focused on her patient:: Yes ..

:::Jen scanned the woman, looking for visible injuries, but discovered
none.:::

Malcolm: Were you injured at all?

Re?Maru: I'll be fine .. just a headache is all.

:: She lifted a tricorder and smiled:::

Malcolm: Better safe than sorry, you?ll agree?

::As Re?Maru worked, Jen ran the tricorder over her. It confirmed
Re?Maru?s diagnosis: Re'Maru took a moment to take a breath. She gave
a nod to Dr. Malcolm::

Re?Maru: Thank you, Doctor.

Malcolm: response?

::Re'Maru returned to her patient, tapping her fingers along the Bio
bed. She stepped over to one of the medical carts, getting an
instrument she needed to begin. She started by applying another
sedative, one to help keep the patient from waking up for quite a
while. She then stepped back and went into one of the side rooms of
the Sickbay to clean up and get into a fresh uniform. She returned,
straightening her tunic::

Malcolm: Dr. Re?Maru, think you can handle things here in Sickbay without me?

Re?Maru: Yes. Anything I should know about other patients?

Malcolm: response?

Re'Maru: ::nodded:: Very well, good luck, Doctor.

::As Malcolm left, Re'Maru returned to her patient. She motioned to
one of the nurses and they started the procedure.::

Re'Maru: Okay, lets start with 10 CCs of hydrolene. Laser Scalpel ...

::The nurse prepared the hypospray and stabbed it into the neck of the
patient. The next instant, Re'Maru was handed the laser scalpel and
was making an incision along the spine.::

((moments later))

::Re'Maru passed the beam along the cut, healing it. Her hand was
steady, and her attention focused. The nurse who assisted seemed
impressed and gave a smile, to which Re'maru gave a bland nod.::

Re'Maru. Make sure he stays as immobile as possible for the next 6
hours. Then wake him and try a motion test of the extremities. Make
sure he gets 20 milligrams of Dolcetrios every 4 hours to help with
the nerve regeneration.

Nurse: Yes, Doctor.

::Re'Maru stepped over and sat down in the nearest chair she could to
take a moment and relax. She rubbed her temples, trying to get a
moment to center herself.::

 | [SB118-aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: memories
 | (( Sickbay))

::It was quiet for the moment in the sickbay. Her patients were
resting quietly. She tabbed through the collection of recent scans,
mostly to keep her inquisitive mind occupied. She stopped a moment,
and pulled up an image of her husband, and gave a soft smile as the
thought back.::

((flashback: Vulcan Science Academy, Vulcan))

::The young romulan student stood before the deans council with her
hands clasped behind her. She tried to put on her best stoic
expression. Inside, she was trembling. The eldest of the council made
a firm rasp with the gavel onto the top of the desk.::

Dean of the Academy: This inquisition is brought to order as of
stardate 238004.05.

::There was a pause as Re'Maru panned the council members.::

Dean: We are here because of an incident that occurred five days ago
on stardate 238004.01. This incident was initially believed to be an
epidemic outbreak of Bolian Blood Fever, a condition in which the
earliest symptoms are blue tinted urine. This was proven incorrect
when detailed scans were taken.

::Re'Maru was trying her hardest not to burst out in laughter. The
emotionless glares, and the deadpan tone of the Dean was making the
event even funnier than it already was to her.::

Dean: These detailed scans did reveal traces of Urised, an old terran
urinary analgesic that dates back to the 20th century Earth. An
investigation revealed that the water supply for this academy was
contaminated with this medicine, and a device was removed from the
filtration system.

::The Dean held up the device. It taking more and more of her self
discipline to keep her giggling retained.::

Dean: We examined this device and discovered the parts were
requisitioned by you, Freshman Re'Maru. What is your explanation of
this act of sabotage? Are you secretly working with the Romulan Empire
to sabotage this prestigious academy?

::She couldn't help herself anymore and burst out in a fit of
laughter. The Council Members looked at each other in dismay at this
student's outburst. She tried to calm down, and looked at the
councilmen only to burst out further in more laughter. The Dean gave
the gavel a heavy hit to the desk and stood.::

Dean: Freshman Re'Maru!!! Would you restrain your emotions?? This is a
serious situation.

Re'Maru: NO! You are making it serious!! ::trying to contain herself::

Dean: Then explain yourself, Freshman, before we have you expelled.

::The threat of expulsion did help set her straight.::

Re'Maru: Members of the Council ... This was all a joke. A practical
joke, harmless fun.

::The Dean eyed her sharply. She swallowed and continued.::

Re'Maru: Stardate 238004.01 falls upon an old terran holiday known as
"April Fool's Day", a day celebrated by the practicing of Practical
Jokes, and telling of Humorous anecdotes. Medical research has shown
that certain levels of humor is beneficial for the emotional and
psychological healthiness. This was a medical experiment, conducted by
myself and my room mate, who is human medical student, to study first
hand the effects of humor in a vulcan society.

::She tried to keep herself in check, putting on the stoic face once
more, hoping her bluff worked.::

Dean: Did you consult with any of your instructors before carrying out
this .. experiment?

Re'Maru: We felt it was best to maintain a level of secrecy given the
nature of this experiment. If we had told others, it would have lead
to misleading results.

::The Dean looked at the other members of the council, and spoke
silently amongst themselves. Re'Maru stood silently, hoping that they
wouldn't expel her.::

Dean: With this new information, we are going to postpone your
expulsion. However, you and your roommate will both be placed on
academic probation for the duration of one year. After which, you both
will once again face this council. If you show improvement, and follow
proper protocols when conducting abnormal experiments, you will both
be removed from Academic Probation.

::She swallowed and gave a sigh of relief.::

Re'Maru: Thank you, Dean.

::The Dean motioned to a tall handsome Vulcan gentleman.::

Dean: This is S'bien. He is working on his doctrinal thesis, and has
agreed to oversee your activities during your probationary period. You
will report to him each week.

::Re'Maru gave a nod, then looked to S'bien. She had to admit he was
very handsome.::

Re'Maru: Yes, sir.

((end flashback))

((Aurora Sickbay))

::She wasn't sure how long she was day dreaming. The familiar woosh of
the sickbay doors opening brought her back to the present. She tapped
a key to switch the picture back from her husband to the scans she
took earlier.::

 | [SB118-aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: bridge work
 | ((Sickbay))

::Re'Maru was at her console, going over the various scans she took,
and also a bit of day dreaming when the comm bleeped.::

Vetri: =/\= Vetri to Re'Maru. Would you come up to the bridge, please. =/\=

Re'Maru: =/\= On my way, Captain. =/\=

::She immediately grabbed her tricorder and slid it into the holster
on her hip out of habit and went to the bridge.::

((Bridge))

:: The bridge doors opened to admit the Romulan doctor, and Della gave
her a quick nod of greeting.::

Vetri: Doctor, if you'd be so kind, please compare the quantum
signature Ensign York has found to the readings you took earlier.

Re'Maru: Certainly.

::Re'Maru went along the backwall of the bridge to one of the science
stations, and linked down to her terminal in the Sickbay and recalled
her scans. After a moment to compare the images, she remarked.::

Re'Maru: There are noticable similarities. It is highly probable that
the source of quantum signature that is causing your headaches,
Captain, and the source of these readings are one and the same.

Anyone: ?

Vetri: Could someone please tell me what *that* is?

::Re'Maru stepped closer to the sceen with Vetri and narrowed her eyes
to try and get a better view.::

Re'Maru: Without further scans, Captain, I am unable to hypothosize accurately.

responses?

Re'Maru: ::Raises an eyebrow:: It is a thing. Exactly what kind of
"thing", I am uncertain, without further scans.

 | Fw: [sb118-aurora] Ens. Ruben Winters - New Facts (Tag Romulan Sickbay/Dickens)
 | Hey folks.

Not sure if Yahoo is playing silly beggers again or what - I've reposted my sim 
from 3 days ago below as I'm not sure if everyone received it last time.
I know that on at least one other ship there have been some problems with Yahoo 
sending sims into people's spam folder. This has caused a lot of confusion as 
you can probably imagine.
Could people take a quick peek in their spam mail to check? And if you think you 
might be missing any sims take a look at the group homepage as they should all 
be on there.

cheers,
chris h

( OOC - Very annoyed at Yahoo as it seems to have eaten the original draft of 
this sim while I was actually writing in! For some reason it replaced the entire 
content with an email I'd already sent. So, this is a complete rewrite - the 
original was better...)

(( D7 - Sickbay ))
*snip*

Malcolm: May we run a scan on you and the girl?s mother?

::Vaebn gave a curt nod::

Vaebn: Yes, you may.

::As Jen raised the tricorder a strong hand clamped on her wrist.S?anra jerked 
her arm away before she could start::

S?anra: You may not.

Winters: Oh boy...

:: Ruben stood with his mouth open as the two Romulans exchanged angry words. 
The older one was holding onto Dr Malcolm's wrist hard enough to leave marks. 
The tension in the room made the Trill suddenly hyper aware of his surroundings; 
the background hum of the machinery, the laboured breathing of the Romulan 
child, the weight of the phaser at his hip. Commander Dickens had only told them 
to stow the rifles, not their sidearms.

Ruben let his hand fall to his holster and spoke in a loudly, trying hard to 
keep the quiver from his voice. ::

Winters: Unhand Dr Malcolm. ::he paused for effect:: Now.

:: He hoped he looked confident and that his hands weren't shaking as much as he 
feared they were. ::

Malcolm/S'anra: response

Vaebn: I want to be scanned, so does my wife. It is my choice to make, not 
yours.

Malcolm/S'anra: response

Winters: If there is a health risk to your crew then we can help.

Malcolm/S'anra: response

:: Ruben let out a sigh as Jen was finally able to use her tricorder. His spots 
felt like they were on fire. ::

Vaebn: Well?

Malcolm/S'anra: response

:: Ruben looked at the results. ::

Winters: Wait, I've seen that sort of radiation signature before. It's similar 
to the kinoplasmic radiation we detected in the area around the anomaly. Usually 
it only effects computer systems, but in concentrated doses, or long term 
exposure, I believe it can cause deterioration to brain cells.

Malcolm/S'anra: response

Winters: Exactly. So this ship must have been exposed to a number of kinoplasmic 
surges over the years - which indicates that they've been here when the anomaly 
has opened before. And not just once or twice.

Malcolm/S'anra: response

:: Before Ruben could speak again the doors opened to admit a welcome figure. 
::

Dickens: So, doctor how're you doing? Have you been able to check many people? 
How's their general situation?

Malcolm: Response

Dickens: Ensign Winters, have you been practicing nursing?

Winters: Of a sort, Commander.

Dickens: Aside from that, have you found anything that could lead us home?

:: Ruben exchanged a look with Jen. ::

Winters: Not exactly. But we may have uncovered something.

Anyone: response

 | [SB118 Aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: catching up
 | ((Conference Room))

Lakacl: Lhaes cancel the destruct of the ship. Captian.....::Pausing
to marshal his thoughts: Captian. Many of my people feel like this. I
would ask that for those that want to go back that a space could be
found for them, the rest can stay if they wish.

::Lhaes brought the communicator to his lips and spoke another code in
romulan that ended the Lockdown and stopped the Self destruct.::

T'Lea: That's a frakking brilliant idea, Elder. Too bad you didn't
think of it sooner. There's just one problem though. No one is going
anywhere if we don't get that frakking parasite off our ship.
Therefore, I suggest you contact your engineers, find out how they
removed it from your ship, and then share the information with us.
Excuse me.

McKenzie: =/\= Bridge to Captain, Ensign McKenzie here. That crystal
thing started feeding on us instead of the D7, then something hit it.
You might want to come up here. =/\=

Vetri: =/\= I'm on my way... Assuming nothing else decides to kick off? =/\=

Vetri: You're a security officer, Lhaes? Then do your damned job and
secure *that* before I throw it out of an airlock. ::turning to
Lacakl:: Elder, I suggest you find out just what the hell is going on
with your people.

Vetri: Do what you can to settle this please, Doctor. I'm sorry to
dump it on you, but as you can tell, we've got a lot on our plates
right now.

Re'Maru: I believe so, Captain.

::Re'Maru watched the Captain step out, then looked over as Lhaes
stepped over to start securing Kiter's hands behind his back.::

Kiter:  You'll pay for this.  You think subduing me will change
anything?  ::he spat:: It changes nothing.  We'll not die for your
dreams old man.  We'll not leave with you.  You'll have to kill us
first.

Re'Maru: All violence will do nothing to solve your concerns.

Lakacl: ?

Kiter:  Lies.  You would never allow us to simply take the ship and go.

Lakacl: ?

:: He looked to the floor and considered the proposal for a moment.
If the Elder was telling the truth, then Kiter could walk away with
the ship.  He'd be a bloody hero.::

Kiter:  I could be persuaded to tell my followers to stand-down, and
give all those who wish to leave a safe departure. ::there was a
pause::  If we're guaranteed our own safe departure.

Re'Maru: That might be arranged, under certain conditions.

Lakacl: ?

Kiter:  I could also be persuaded to tell you how our engineers
detached the parasite.  If we're given six working replicators, food
and water rations for a year, six air filtration systems, and a full
restock of medical supplies.

Re'Maru: You underestimate our scientific and engineering capabilities.

Lakacl: ?

::Re'Maru had enough and stepped forward, looking Kiter dead in the
eye with a cold emotionless glare.::

Re'Maru: I have a better idea. Your terrorists can submit to the
Elder's authority and he and his officers can decide what to do with
them. You on the other hand will be taken to our Brig to await trial.

Lhaes: What?

Lakacl: response?

Kiter: response?

Re'Maru: Oh, but I can. This is a Starfleet Vessel. Your actions was
an act of terrorism and war. By article 38 subsection 5 of the
Romulan-human Treaty of 2160, Starfleet is permitted to apprehend any
Romulan citizen found within human territory and hold that person for
trial for crimes against Starfleet, with the provision that a ranking
member of the Romulan Society is notified.

responses?

Re'Maru: The Elder is a ranking member of the only Romulan society
currently existing and he is now notified. This is a Starfleet vessel,
in which this act was committed. I am well within my rights as a
Starfleet officer to do this.

::She motions to the security guards who came over to grab Kiter's arms.::

responses?

Re'Mar: The Treaty of Algeron was made void when Romulus was
destroyed. However, this treaty predates the Treaty of Algeron and no
conditions were set upon when or how it will be nullified. It is still
in effect.

response?

::Re'maru looks to Kiter.::

Re'Maru: Per conditions established with the treaty, The Elder, being
the senior representative of Romulan Society, can appoint someone to
represent you during the trial.

::Re'Maru simply nods to the guards, and tries to hide a smirk as they
remove him from the Conference room. She looked at the Elder and
Lhaes, and saw the smirk forming on Lhaes's face.::

Lhaes: Bold move, Doctor.

Responses?

Re'Maru: I do appreciate threats. My husband learned that the hard way
before we were married.

response?

Re'Maru: I'll not go into details, but I got my revenge by marrying him.

::She gave a half smirk and raised an eyebrow, watching the Elder and
Lhaes chuckle. She motioned to the door.::

Re'Maru: If you will come with me ..

responses?

((Aurora: Bridge))

::Re'Maru escorted the Elder and Lhaes to the bridge to see what was
going on. She gave a nod to Vetri.::

responses?

Re'Maru: Kiter is being detained in our brig, pending trial for acts
of terrorism against Starfleet per the Romulan-Human treaty of 2160.
The Elder will require time with you to discuss the details of the
trial.

Dickens: =/\= Dickens to Lhaes =/\=

Lhaes: =/\= Go ahead commander =/\=

Dickens: =/\= I'm glad to see that you're back to bring some order.
When do you expect to have your people gathered to go to our ship?

Lhaes: =/\= ETA unknown at this time. I'll start sending them down as
soon as I can. =/\=

Dickens: =/\= Our first shuttle is ready and we're readying our other
shuttles to make the transport as smooth as possible. =/\=

Lhaes: =/\=That is good to know.=/\=

Dickens: =/\= If you don't need my crew up there, please send them
here with the first group of your crew. Also if you haven't done so,
if you give me a list of things your ship will need for those
remaining on board I'll see what I can do to provide it once we return
to the Aurora. =/\=

Lhaes: =/\=I'll send them and that information down. =/\=

::Lhaes started deligating duties to some of the officers under his command.::

Barnes: One thing if you'll allow. S'Anra, I'd like her to be taken to
the Aurora for treatment.  No slight to yours but the wound is deep
and to be honest she'll have a better chance.

Lhaes: I'll need my medical officer, and I have reports of other
wounded coming in. You should go.

Barnes: Thank you. I'll let our medical team know and have S'Anra sent
across on the first shuttle.

::Moments later, Lhaes was still trying to sort out the situation.::

Dickens: So Lhaes, how're things here?

Lhaes: Wish I could say it was going good.

Dickens: Are there any more people that had to be transferred?

Lhaes: They're slowing starting to report in.

Dickens: response?

::Lhaes stood and motioned for Dickens to follow. They went to the
equivalent of a Ready Room to talk in private.::

((D7: ready room))

Lhaes: Commander, I'll be honest. I have people who are wounded. I
have fights breaking out over the ship. My security personnel are
stretched thin to get people down to the shuttles and to stop these
fights.

Dickens: Response?

Lhaes: I don't know .. so far about 30% of the crew wants to leave.
However, that number keeps increasing. I have families on this ship.
This ship isn't intended to be a generational vessel. Hell, it wasn't
intended to be in service for 200 plus years. We have so many systems
jury rigged to keep going. So many old systems on the verge of falling
apart. The only thing I have plenty of is power due to the engine
systems.

Dickens: response?

Lhaes: This ship was a prototype when it launched. The engines are
powered by a miniature quantum singularity. It's what attracted that
.. space parasite. This set up was supposed to boast near infinite
power. ::He grumbles:: Well, we tested that power to it's max. It is
nearly true. However, the systems that it relies on aren't as
infinite.

Dickens: response?

Lhaes: We have to replace the control converters about every 2 years
now. We keep rebuilding the old ones and replacing them. It used to be
every 5 years when I was little. According to the Elder, it used to be
every 10 years. If we can get something that can do the job, but last
longer, it will help a lot.

::Re'Maru was sitting in her office when Dr. Malcolm stepped in. She
had been going over S'Anra's charts to monitor progress. Hoping to
release her soon. She'd been trying to blot out the shouts and
insults,most of them directed at Re'Maru.::

Malcolm: S'Anra sounds pretty healthy, don't you think?

Re'Maru: Indeed. She is most vocal about her ... insights into the
medical personell.

Malcolm: I'm more than ready to get her back to her ship.

Re'Maru: I am as well. I'm waiting for your permission to release her.

::Suddenly, Jen's commbadge chirped, interrupting them::

T'Lea: =/\=  T'Lea to Sickbay. =/\=

Malcolm: I'm sorry Dr. Re'Maru. I'd appreciate it if you'd see if
S'Anra is clear for transport.

Re'Maru: Very well.

::Re'Maru stood and made her way to S'Anra who was glaring at her angrily.::

S'Anra: response?

Re'Maru: You are not a prisoner. You are a patient.

S'Anra: response?

Re'Maru: If my intent was to harm you, you would not have awoken from
the sedative.

S'Anra: response?

::Re'Maru was gradually growing more and more annoyed. She had heard
the angry shouting and insults from the Romulan Patient most of the
morning since the sedatives wore off.::

Re'Maru: If I sound like a Vulcan, then it is because I was raised
among Vulcans. Furthermore, I have never stepped foot on Romulus. I
have never had a desire to go there. Being a "traitor" first implies
that one has citizenship with the nation or organization in question.
I have no ties to the Romulan government, or any desire to have such
ties.

::Re'Maru stepped forward to the control panel on the biobed, tapping
on a keypad. A pair of security officers stepped inside the sickbay.::

S'Anra: response?

Re'Maru: I am releasing you. Your wound is healed. These gentlemen
will escort you to your ship.

S'Anra: response?

::Re'Maru only gave a half hearted wave as she stepped back and let
the Security Officers escort S'Anra out. After that, Re'Maru took a
moment to rub her temples. After the shouting died down by the woman
being escorted out and down the hall, Re'Maru stepped over and
approached Dr. Malcolm's office.::

Malcolm: response?

Re'Maru: The Patient is being escorted to her own ship.

Malcolm: response?

Re'Maru: Romulans are naturally suspicious and xenophobic. When they
see their own working for a potential enemy, they naturally assume
that the individual is a traitor.

Malcolm: response?

Re'Maru: I was raised among Vulcans, Doctor. The only contact with
Romulans I had before now were my parents and their friends who were
also trying to adopt the Vulcan way. I am a Romulan only by blood.

Malcolm: response?

Re'Maru: Yes, I know about the Romulan culture, some of their history,
and I speak their language. However, I should note that I also have a
rudementory knowledge of the Klingon language, and have studied their
culture and history as a part of my studies for my psychology
doctorate. That doesn't make me a klingon.

 | [SB118-Aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: reflections
 | ((Aurora: sickbay))

::What seemed like the end of a terribly long day was drawing close.
The last of the patients from going through the wormhole again had
been treated. Aside from the worst of the cases who resting, most have
been released for duty. Re'Maru sat in her office, half asleep as she
stared at an image of her husband on the screen.::

((Flashback: Vulcan Science Academy))

::At the insisting of her human roommate, Re'Maru had been trying on
various outfits. This was the last one, a simple dark red catsuit like
outfit that hugged her sensual figure. She raised an eyebrow in a
vulcan manner and looked back to her roommate, Jan, who was bouncing
on the bed in joy::

Jan: OH Rea!! That's the one!!

::Re'Maru looked at herself in the mirror with an uneasy look in her
eyes. Jan bounced off the bed and came over.::

Jan: Will you relax, Rea?! If this doesn't send that vulcan hunk of
yours into Pon Far, nothing will!!

Re'Maru: Given the biological nature of the vulcan mating cycle, I
serously doubt this simple outfit will trigger it.

::Jan gave a simple swat to Re'Maru's shoulder.::

Jan: You know what I mean.

Re'Maru: Do you honestly believe wearing something as this will stir
an emotional response?

::Jan gave a coy yet sarcastic glare to the Romulan woman.::

Jan: Hon, with your looks? ::nods:: You bet!!

::Re'Maru had to admit that she was nervous. She'd been attracted to
S'bien since she first met him at the hearing a year before. She'd
been spending a considerable amount of her free time with him,
learning more about vulcan behavior than she ever knew before. She's
even learned to control her emotions a lot better. Now it was taking
every measure of control she had to not tremble with how nervous she
was at the moment. She moved as she was guided by her human roommate
and shoved out the door.::

Jan: Go get 'im, Tiger!!

::Re'Maru stumbled at first. Clumsily trying to get her footing on
those high heeled boots her roommate insisted that she wear. She
reached out and grabbed the wall to steady herself. Thankfully, no one
saw her making a fool of herself as she took a few more clumsy steps
to get used to the heels. She gingerly made her way down the hall. By
the time she got to the stairs, she was confident on them, at least
more so than she was when she stepped out of the room. The heels
clicked on the hard surface of the stairs. When she entered the next
hall, some men were walking her way. They stopped and stared. She had
to admit that it was exciting to feel their stares on her.::

::She walked across the quad to the building where S'bien's office was
at. She stood at the entrance to the building. She squeeked at she
felt a shove behind her. She looked back to see Jan.::

Jan: Will you get moving?! This is no time for cold feet!!

Re'Maru: Given the ambient temperature of Vulcan, I highly doubt that my ...

::Jan cut her off.::

Jan: it's an expression, Rea. Sheesh!!! Now get in there!

::Jan was never going to let Re'Maru live this down. She quickly found
out how annoying humans could be. Since Re'Maru and S'bien met, Jan
had been doing her best to try and get the pair together.::

::Re'Maru made her way inside and to S'bien's office. She tapped the
door chime and waited, trying not to pick at her fingernails. When she
door opened, she gave a simple smile. S'bien gave a raised eyebrow.
Re'Maru stepped into the office, and the door closed behind her.::

((end flashback))

::Re'Maru's head hit the desk where she had aparently fallen asleep.
She quickly looked up and glanced to the door groggily.::

Re'Maru: huh?

response?

((OOC: Sorry for charging in. I just want to move this on a bit as I have a couple of other things I need to get done on shore leave. Besides, after I had the Idea iut was too good to leave))
  

((Shore Leave - Starbase 23 - The Comet Club - Night))



York: Thank the Maker you came. I thought I was going to be standing out here all night, all by myself, getting weird looks from passersby, and I didn't want to go in and sit alone. ::grinning:: There are waaaay too many cute guys and drinks in there. 



Gilaars: ::chuckling:: Have no fear I'm here, now!



York: Any sign of anybody else?



Gilaars: Not that I can see. Maybe the rest will show up. Who knows, these days.



York: ::smiling:: By the way, I plan on getting really drunk. Make sure I don't dance on the table tops, or do anything embarrassing, will ya?



Gilaars: I try my best. I can't guarantee anything though, especially if I get just as drunk! ::laughs::



York: ::laughing:: That's the spirit! Although, I don't know how well a drunken Starfleet officer dancing on tables would go over with the Fleet. ::gesturing at her slinky dress:: At least, I wore a disguise.



Gilaars: I didn't feel like getting dressed up, plus I don't own much, outside of jeans and t-shirts, right now.



York: Hey, have you tried those jeans from Bajor? I hear the material they use is unbelievably soft. ::abrupt subject change:: Oh! Since you're all uniformed-up, mind holding my comm. badge. I'm afraid if I put it on, I'll have a wardrobe malfunction.



Gilaars: By the way, I am Lieutenant(jg) Rebecca Gilaars, one of the Security Officers aboard the Aurora. And you?



York: Whoops, right. Ensign Penny York. I'm one of the nerd herd. Science. 



Gilaars: Pleased to meet you! Let's get started, eh? ::waves hand toward Comet Club entrance::



York: Good idea. ::chuckling:: Why wait out here, when we can get a head start on the booze in there!



:: With a smart little turn on her heels, and in her high heels, Penny gave the bouncer at the doors a lovely little smile as she passed through. The bouncer, a big burly Klingon, merely sneered back at her.::



((Comet Club, Starbase 23))



:: The music was incredibly loud, so loud in fact that Penny could feel the bass vibrating her innards. Lights flashed, rhythms pulsed, waitresses passed by with trays of drinks, people came and went from the bar to the dance floor, but finding a free table was proving rather difficult. Eventually, Penny spotted a vacancy at a booth near the dance floor.::



:: As she slid in she bumped her elbow on a corner.::



York: Oww? funny bone. Not so funny. ::waving over a waitress and yelling over the music:: One Risan Mai-tai, one Starduster, extra strong, a Cardassian Sunrise, and six black icebergs, please. Oh, and a glass of water.



:: She turned to Gilaars.::



York: What are you gonna have, Gils?



Gilaars: I'll have what you just ordered! ::chuckles:: I wanna get hammered tonight!



:: While Rebecca ordered, Penny glanced around the club, grooving to the music in her seat. There was a Ferengi licking his lips at her, a sleazy gesture from any species. She recoiled and quickly turned away, only to see Ensign Blackwood waving at her from across the room.::



York: ::waving back:: Hey! Over here! ::she poked Gilaars:: 

Ensign Blackwood. 



Gilaars: Great! The more the merrier!



Blackwood: Hiya folks, I'm Ensign Blackwood, new science officer, as you know, ::nods to Ensign York:: of course you can just call me Evanna if you wish.



Penny: New rule. First names only, or nicknames. Call me Penny, or Pen. Either works. 



Gilaars: Call me Becky! This a great break for us!



Blackwood: Yeah, it sure is good to catch a break, although I hardly need one! haha I only just GOT here.



Gilaars: Still, you were busy as soon as you came aboard.



::Sitting a bit straighter she scooted over in the booth to allow Blackwood some room.::



York: We just ordered drinks, the waitress should be back any minute. Gils and I are planning on getting totally hammered -- table dancing optional. As soon as I get tipsy enough, I'm hitting the dance floor. What about you guys?



Blackwood: Oh... Well I don't think I will be getting hammered, actually, alcohol and I have a hate-hate relationship.



oO Great! I haven't even been here 5 minutes and I?m already the stick in the mud. I haven't even told them I most definitely WON'T be dancing either. Oo



Gilaars: Oh, c'mon, lighten up!



York: Okay, serious question. Why am I the only one not in uniform? Seriously. At least take off your jackets, please. I'm begging you. 



Blackwood: :: Turning red. :: Ah, yes ... wardrobe malfunction.



Gilaars: ::giggles:; Oh, okay... ::takes jacket off:: Much better!



York: ::to Evanna:: You see anybody else out there? Not that I'm complaining, I'm just glad someone showed up. ::chuckling as the waitress dropped off the plethora of drinks:: Hey, girls night out!



Blackwood: To be honest I wasn't really looking, heck I probably wouldn't recognise half our crew if they were lined up in front of me.



oO Seriously, what?s the matter with you. Just say no. Keep it simple. Oo



Gilaars: You'll get to know us soon enough! ::giggles some more::



:: York downed a shot, turned beet red and nearly coughed up a lung.::



Blackwood: huh



Gilaars: ::concerned:: You okay, Penny?



York: Oh, Maker! That was great. ::waving a hand:: I'm fine. I'm fine. Just warming up.



Blackwood: ::mutters:: oh brother... ::Shakes head and chuckles::



Gilaars: Yeah, just give her time.



York: ::pointing towards the bar:: There's a Ferengi over there that keeps licking his lips at me. I swear I attract the weirdest people. ::laughing:: He just winked. 



Blackwood: I'll go punch his lights out if you like...



Gilaars: No, no. No need, to do that. Wouldn't want to end up in the Brig, your first night out! ::chuckles::



York: It's good to get off the ship. ::over the music:: So where 

are you guys from? 



Blackwood: New Scotland



Gilaars: I was born on Starbase 38. Kinda boring to say the least.



Eerie :: Ensign Blackwood, I promise to behave myself, do you mind?::



oO He's haunting me, I swear... You know what, maybe I should just leave. Say I forgot to do something... Oo



:: Blackwood chewed her lip for a few moments, pondering what to do, until she became aware of numerous sets of eyes watching her. ::



Blackwood: ::Strained smile:: Sure thing, make yourself comfortable...



:: Blackwood scooted over to make sure Eerie had enough room to sit comfortably.



oO Better make a token gesture of friendliness I suppose. Oo



Blackwood: Can I get you anything?



:: Blackwood felt quite intimidated and awkward squished up in the booth next to Eerie, but tried to look as casual and relaxed about it as possible. ::



Eerie: Er.....Quantum Torpedo with a lime twist, thank you Ensign



:: Blackwood blanked out for several minutes thinking to herself whilst sipping a fruit cocktail staring off nowhere as the others talked around her.::



Gilaars: God to see you here Ensign Eerie!



Eerie: Thank you LT.



Anyone: respond



Blackwood: ... SO ehhr...Do any of you guys have any hobbies? Something to keep you from tearing your hair out while deployed?



:: Blackwood ordered another drink and gulped it down in a hurry. ::



Gilaars: I like Holodeck adventures and holonovel re-enactments, chess, bowling, collecting stuffed animals and reading.



Eerie : I enjoy a game of chess from time to time.



oOActually all the time, but better play it coolOo



Anyone: respond



Blackwood: Cool beans. Oh err excuse me.



:: Blackwood squeezes out of her corner in the booth and heads to the toilet, taking as long as possible. Eventually she decides she's too hot and heads outside to cool down. ::

oO Man it's intense in there. So what now? Oo

:: Blackwood plonks herself down on a nearby bench and watches people passing for a few minutes, feeling indecisive. ::

:: Eerie stared off into the crowd, there was that quiet hush for a moment and the two Narusicaans, started to make their way through the crowd and it appeared that they were heading toward our group of junior officers, they were about 3 meters away from the group and they started to veer away but then..::



:: the waitress who was bringing the drinks, to the starfleet officers was knocked over by the Narusicaans, sending the drinks all over the Aurora officers::



Narusicaan :: Who is getting all these drinks?, I get you some colored water instead!



::At that point both of the Narusicaans, started to laugh at the group of starfleet officers::



Anyone:: RESPONSE



:: Blackwood gives herself a slap on the face, puts on her best winning smile and trots merrily back into the club. She heads back to their booth noting a new addition. ::

oO Nice! Someone else showed up! See, if you just chill out things work out fine... Hey, but whats this? Oo



::Blackwood noticed a couple of aliens stirring up trouble next to her friends, so she drew herself up to her full height and marched over. :: 

((which actually wasn't all that much. she's kinda short))



Blackwood: ::Positioning herself behind the group of trouble makers, loudly:: Hey! Is there a PROBleem here?



:: The group of Narusicaans spun round, glaring at her. Blackwood glared right back. ::



Narusicaan 1: Whatzit Tooya?



oO Diplomatic. Be diplomatic. Lets TRY not to start an incident. I just wanna have a couple of drinks and laughs. Oo



Blackwood: I don't like your attitude. I strongly SUGGEST you move on. Go on, off you go... enjoy your night - AWAY from us.



:: Blackwood was getting pretty angry now, and she could feel herself starting to shake with rage. ::



Anyone: response



:: The aliens were a good bit bigger than Blackwood, going by the smell they were too smashed to see reason. One of them pushed Blackwood, she stumbled backwards banging into someone behind her, spilling their drink. Blackwood turned her head towards them. ::



Blackwood: So sSorry about that!

oO Oh they did not just do that Oo







Anyone: respond







oO If I can just get them out of this crowded club... Oo



Blackwood: Yeh-wanna step outside and sort this out... :: strained:: gentlemen?



:: The Narusicaans spat at her and made comments about her in their own tongue. :: 



Anyone: respond



oO Talking scumbags, that?s what they are. Oo



::Eerie struggled to get out of the booth, it was small it took a couple of seconds, before he could get his footing on the dancefloor, the music was still playing but most of the crowd had started to move away from the disturbance, and the noice level had decreased::



oO: Finally, this party was getting pretty boring, now I have to save that pip-squeak before we all get toss in the brigOo





:: The third Narusicaan, the one braying like a donkey threw something into the group of Starfleet officers. Blackwood didn't wait to see if it hit anyone, she punched the first one right in the face sending him reeling backwards, then head butted another. The first alien, the one that got the first punch came charging over to Blackwood knocking her over. He leapt on her and threw a punch, which was barely blocked by her arm.::



Eerie: Gentlemen, lets stop this before it begins.



::With quick reflexes, Eerie grabbed two of the Narusicaans with his hand, in their chests and easily picked them off of the floor, stunned by what happened they were able to start to swing at him hitting him in the head, but the blows were not noticeable to him in the least.



::The Narusicaans, started to spit at Eerie, as he held them firm in his grip, ::





:: Blackwood was on the floor, and seemed to be handling her self adequately, she was doing a leg whip which caught the third Naruicaan, knocking him down::



oO She's a fireball alrightOo



:: Eerie spread his arms out wide with the flagging Narusicaans, srcreaming insults and spitting, and striking at Eerie's arms::



::Eerie brought the two Narsicaans together in a dull thump, and released them to the floor::

:: Seeing his quarry in the middle of a bar fight Barnes walked over and grabbed the closest Narusicaan by the shoulder and spun it round. Pining his hand up against the shoulder blade Barnes whispered in his ear.

Barnes: Did your mummy not tell you it's not nice to hit women, Now I suggest you take your two drunk friends and leave, otherwise I'm sure a night in the station brig will cool your temper.

::As the Narusicaan struggled Barnes pushed his hand higher so his fingertips where touching his earlobe, twisting his 'dance partner' towards the door, giving him a final push he turned back to his colleagues. Sitting on a stool he looked around the table.


 

Barnes: I can't leave you lot alone for a minute.


 

:: Blackwood scrabbled back to her feet, hastily adjusting her scuffed uniform. Feeling her breathing becoming tight, face reddening. ::

:: SssSs Sorry Sir

Anyone respond

Blackwood: No, Sir

Anyone: respond

Blackwood: Well no, I wouldn't say that...

Anyone: respond

Blackwood: Well... they earned it. ::mutters quietly, scowling:: alien scum

Anyone: respond

:: Blackwood goes to take a step forward and finds herself falling, she sucks in a huge gasp of surprise! The gathered crowd roared with laughter, loving every minute of the unfolding drama.::

oO Oh my GOD was that a FOOT? Oo

:: Blackwood fell right into Lt Cmdr Barnes, knocking him backwards into the gathered crowd. She hit the ground with an audible thud, smashing her nose and crying out with the pain and humiliation, twisting her arm beneath her. A big strong hand gripped her firmly, hauled her roughly to her feet where she stood with head hung in shame, licking blood off her lips, fighting back tears; waiting to be made a show of and marched to the brig::

Anyone: respond

oO I'll be setting some kind of record in speedy discharges I am sure. Oo

Blackwood: Understood. ::sniffle::

Anyone: respond

 | [SB118-aurora] JP: LtCmd T'Lea &amp; Ensign Re'Maru: a dinner for two ...
 | ((Aurora: Sickbay office))

T'Lea: =/\= T'Lea to Doctor Re'Maru. =/\=

::Re'Maru lifted her head from the desk, groggily and looked around.::

Re'Maru: huh? ::Taps her comm badge:: =/\= This is Doctor Re'Maru. =/\=

T'Lea: =/\= I did not wake you, did I? =/\=

Re'Maru: =/\= Is there something I can help you with? =/\=

T'Lea: =/\= Would you be interested in joining me for a late
dinner? Is the Mess Hall in service? =/\=

::The offer of food made her stomach rumble in hunger. She hadn't
eaten in some time.::

Re'Maru: =/\= Certainly. I'll meet you there. =/\=

((Aurora: Mess Hall))

::The Engineers did a good job in getting the Mess Hall back in
operation quickly. If they didn't, they would have had several hungry
crewmen upset at them. The Romulan doctor glanced around to see T'Lea.
She went over to order a vulcan dish, and a terran beverage that was
called coffee. She had grown a taste for it at the Vulcan Science
Academy. Her former roommate would keep a pot of it made. She made her
way over to T'Lea and sat down, giving a nod.::

Re'Maru: Greetings, Lt Commander.

T'Lea: Doctor.

:: A cozy table for two at a window, that?s where T?Lea had seated herself.
The Mess Hall was pretty empty, given the late hour, but every now
and then one of the night shift crew would venture in, order something
from the replicator to-go, and then leave. It was actually really
nice having the Mess Hall all to herself.::

:: Having already started on her meal, T?Lea watched the
Romulan Doctor venture over with her selection of eats. Immediately
she recognized the heavy, nutty smell coming from the Doctor?s cup.::

T?Lea: Thank you for coming. ::lifting a eyebrow:: Coffee?
Interesting choice.

Re?Maru: I had a human roommate at the Vulcan Science Academy. I
developed a taste for it.

:: T?Lea carefully skimmed her spoon across the top of her soup, blew
on the hot liquid and sipped. It was tomato soup again, twice in one
day, but for some reason it was all she wanted.::

T?Lea: Ah, my bond-mate is fond of coffee, as well. ::slight smirk::
I think she came close to overdosing on it once. I find the taste to
be foul. ::lifting her cup to take a sip:: Spice Tea.

:: She glanced at Re?Maru over the rim of her tea cup, wondering if
the woman would piece together that her bond-mate was female. Once
again, T?Lea was looking for an emotional reaction. Re'Maru kept a
neutral, and vulcan-like expression on her face.::

Re?Maru: My mother enjoys that flavor of tea.

T?Lea: ::casually blowing on her soup:: So, you grew up on Vulcan.
Is that where you were born?

Re?Maru: No, I was born on a freighter vessel in the Kaleb Sector.

T?Lea: I was ship-born also. The IRW Hexce.

:: She kept a close eye on the Romulan Doctor to see if the ship
name, and its infamous demise meant anything to the woman sitting
across from her. It was probably years before Re?Maru?s time, and
kept quiet from the Romulan public.::

Re?Maru: I am not familiar with that ship name.

T?Lea: It?s a long, complicated story. ::another sip:: The
condensed version is that my mother is a treacherous Tal-shiar bitch
who was sent to Vulcan to infiltrate and assassinate my father, a
council member. She then double-crossed the Empire, blew up the Hexce
and dumped me in a life-pod to be picked up later by my Uncle.
::biting into a cracker very nonchalant:: This reunification your
parents invested in? that had been my mother?s cover-story, years
prior to your
parents voyage. She was an Ambassador from Romulus seeking to revive
the idea of reunification -- it was a Tal-Shiar plot. ::beat, faint
smirk:: Any plans for Shore Leave?


:: Nothing, thought T?Lea as she tried to gauge the woman?s reaction
to all that she?d said. It was hard to miss the barbed little hint
that perhaps Re?Maru?s parents had been following a lie, but there
wasn?t even a flinch, or a blink of an eye.::



:: T?Lea knew, however, from their previous chat that Re?Maru wasn?t a
total Vulcan-zombie.::

Re?Maru: My husband will be arriving within a day or two. I have not
seen him since I was at the Academy.

::Re'Maru nibbled at her dish, trying to be on her proper vulcan behavior.::

T'Lea: Right. Good.


:: There was a small pause of soup sipping to regroup her thoughts.::



T?Lea: Have you been together long?

::The Romulan doctor hesitated but began to answer T'Lea's question.::

Re'Maru: That too is a "complicated story". As I mentioned before,
S'bien and I met at the Vulcan Science Academy. During the first year,
I had ... performed an experiment without following all the proper
protocals. ::Sips from her Coffee.:: After being placed on Academic
probation, S'bien was assigned to oversee my progress. We had gotten
close, and I developed ... feelings ... for him.


:: Feelings. T?Lea noticed how thoughtful the woman was not to reveal
too much through that one word.::

T'Lea: That?s perfectly normal.

Re'Maru: This was before I perfected my emotional control. S'bien
began to mentor me, and teach me more about the pathway of Kohlinar.
He didn't complete his path, but he taught me what he knew. During
this time, he and I would mind meld, and we learned a lot from each
other, even our growing fondness for each other. One night, I showed
him how I felt, and he returned the feelings.

:: T?Lea gave a small nod, allowing the woman to continue. She could
see that Re'Maru's bond-mate meant the world to her, and that perhaps
she was dealing with feelings of loneliness. Not that the Doctor
would ever admit it.::

Re'Maru: That was near the end of my second year. Early in my third
year, he informed me of his betrothal. However, we had already bonded.
While I remained a resident in the dorms, I was spending most of my
nights with him. When the time for the ceremony arrived, S'Bien
rejected his betrothed, and we married instead.

T'Lea: I can?t imagine that went over well. You never mentioned who she was.

Re'Maru: I did not make it a priority to remember her name, but her
parents were ... dismayed, and viewed it as an illogical decision.

T'Lea: Of course they would see it that way. You?re not Vulcan, and
you?re not *their* little girl. They would never admit it, but I?m
sure that a certain amount of pride was wounded that day. ::beat:: Let
me ask you
something, why did you decide to further suppress your emotions? Was
it for your bond-mate, your parents, or simply to fit in?

::Re'Maru paused, reflecting back upon S'bien. Every task she has
undertaken in the past few years has been for him. She fiddled with
the fork in her hand idly, trying to find the right words.::

Re?Maru: The logic behind my choice to suppress my emotions began with
my parents. It is how I was raised. During my adolescent years, I
rebelled against that upbringing, embraced my emotions. I was almost
rejected from the Vulcan Science Academy, and nearly evicted from it
also for my lack of control. If it wasn't for S'bien, I would not be
here now.

::She looked down at her plate, but the rush of emotions flooded her
from loneliness and even regret to her love for her bondmate. She set
the fork down gently and looked to T'Lea with the barrer dropped.::

:: Listening to the woman sitting across from her, T?Lea had been
mildly surprised to hear that Re?Maru had lived freely with her
emotions at one point, but the hybrid was left to wonder how much so.
Had she ever wallowed in the filthy pits of anger, lust, and revenge,
or maybe she?d gotten high off of the prettier colors of the emotional
spectrum like joy, and love.::

T?Lea:  That is an interesting way to stumble upon one of the most
powerful emotions of all, Doctor.  Love.

::  And now T?Lea was toying with the woman.  Wasn?t suppressing
emotion, and then finding emotion a malfunction of logic?::

:: Dabbing at the corner of her mouth with a napkin, T?Lea?s thoughts
came to a screeching halt after she looked up and saw the Romulan
Doctor wearing an expression of?  what was that?  Sadness?::

T'Lea:  Are you all right, Doctor?

Re'Maru: You want to know my emotional state? I miss S'bien deeply.
The only way I am able to properly do my job is from the meditations
he taught me, and the ability to suppress and control my emotions.

:: T?Lea blinked, and suddenly leaned back in her seat, feeling like a
royal jackass, which was nothing new.::

::  All this time she?d been trying to provoke an emotion out of the
?practicing Vulcan?, and now that she?d finally succeeded, it didn?t
feel right at all.::

:: Good grief, what if T?Lea broke the Doctor?::

:: Careful to consider that, the next words that came out of T?Lea?s
mouth were cautious and precise.::

T'Lea: If that is what helps you function, then you should continue to do so.

::She looked to T'Lea and leaned in some.::

Re'Maru: How do you do it? How do you exist with such overpowering
emotions and not controlling them?

T'Lea: I?

::  Wait.  Was that an insult?  Probably, but T?Lea felt she deserved
it, and let it go.::

T?Lea:  ::Vulcaning-up:: I owe you an apology, Ensign.  I am sorry.  I
should not have sought to incite you. The choices you have made in
your life are your own, and I have no opinion about them.  If this
path fulfills your needs, then continue practicing, and I wish you
success.  ::she got up to excuse herself::  We should not discuss this
any further.  Good night, Doctor.

::  The Vulcan hybrid had her reasons for ending the conversation as
abruptly as she did, and it had nothing to do with feeling offended by
what Re?Maru had said about lack of control.  In fact, T?Lea wasn?t
offended by the remark at all. The only concern T?Lea had was the
danger in Re?Maru?s questions.  She couldn?t tell if the Romulan was
simply curious, or seeking something else, and T?Lea wanted nothing to
do with possibly ruining what S?bien and Re?Maru had worked so hard to
achieve together.  That is why she left so quickly.::


Re?Maru: Until later, Commander.

::Re'Maru tried to regain her compsure when T'Lea left. The point she
was trying to make was hopefully clear. She pondered a moment over the
apology that her superior gave. Before her emotional control
stablized, she bent the fork she had in her hand in half a if it were
nothing but a plastic straw. She doubt anyone saw the simple, yet
obvious display of her frustration. At the moment, she really didn't
care. Once T'Lea had left the room, she got up and left as well.::

 | [SB118-aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: Meditations
 | ((Aurora: personal quarters))

::Re'Maru had decided to stay aboard the ship during leave, at least
until S'bien arrived. She really didn't have any reason to leave. Her
room was spartan, save for a few vulcan decorative items, and a
picture of her and S'bien together when they formally married. She
reflected on the day it was taken, and the smile on her face in the
picture. She was so happy that day, and not even all the vulcan
control in the galaxy could have prevented that smile. She still felt
that way to this day.::

::She opened the top drawer of her dresser, took out a small
decorative wood box, and opened it to reveal a number of personal
items which included some candles. She stepped over to the control
panel for the room and disabled the safety protocals. The last thing
she wanted is to be sprayed by the fire suppression system while
security bashed down the door when she meditated. She spread out the
candles around her on the floor, sat crosslegged in the center of
them, and lit each one. She steepled her two forefingers and thumb
together, and the rear two fingers curled down against her palms. She
brought her hands up and lowered her head to glare off into the
distance at no particular destination.::

::Time seemed to stop as she began her meditation. Her thoughts
focusing, and her grip over her emotions tightening slowly. She
relfected back on the conversations she had with T'Lea, and even
wondered if the implications were true. Was she just pretending to be
what she wasn't? She doubted herself, but she refused to show it.::

::She nearly didn't hear the chime of the door, having been so deep
and lost to her meditations. She blinked, probably for the first time
since her meditations started, and looked at the clock display to see
that several hours had passed by since she began meditating. She stood
and brushed her vulcan gown smooth. She opened the door. Her heart
leaped into her throat when she saw him.::

::S'bien stepped in and lifted his right hand, extending the two
forefingers. Re'Maru responded and brushed her fingers against his at
the vulcan gesture of being married. She glanced out the door to the
crewman who escorted S'bien to her quarters, dismissing him, and
closed the door.::

::Once alone in private, no words needed to be said. She leaped into
his arms, embracing him for dear life. Overwhelmed by the emotions
that she had been dealing with, she poured them out into the embrace,
and the kiss that followed. She could tell that S'bien missed her as
well. He was better at hiding and controlling his emotions, but he
couldn't with her. She locked the door to ensure no one interrupted
them for the duration of shoreleave.::

::The rest of the starbase had been a disappointment, and Eerie found
himself walking the corridors of the Starship, he was still a bit
wound up after the encounter in the Comet Club, but he was trying to
avoid the decks with living quarters, so he ended up on Deck 3,
walking a circle::

oO My  skills need to be better, if those Narsicaans had not been
drunk they would of side stepped me in the club, I need to improve on
my agility training, my blunt force training was fine on Brikar, but

was late shift, and we were docked::

::Suddenly the scene changed to the Brikar countryside, there was a
worn path through jagged rocks, that snaked around small hills, the
air was hot and dry, with a mild wind and bit of sand in it. The sky
was a funky blue::

::He walked following the trail, the computer would make random
changes to the path, but it was quiet except for the rush of the
breeze and the dusty particles whipping around::

::After some time, he stopped and he hear foot steps comming up behind him::

 | [SB118-aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: Morning
 | ((Aurora: Personal quarters))

::S'bien woke up first sometime during the night. He draped his robe
loosely over his shoulders as he sat down in a chair and watched his
wife sleep. He didn't show it, but he enjoyed these moments where he
could just sit and watch her. She laid there quietly asleep, as if she
were his own angel from the earth religious myths that he's read. His
vulcan control keeping his face stoic and expressionless, while deep
inside he was filled with the strong fierce emotions that his people
try to keep a tight control over.::

::He stepped over to the replicator, quietly ordering a hot tea of a
vulcan blend that he preferred. He sat back down and watched his wife
sleep. He knew that she missed him. They hadn't seen each other since
she left to join Starfleet. He appeared briefly at her graduation from
Starfleet Academy, but she was rushed off to the Aurora. She always
had issues with loneliness.::

::He reflected back to when they first met. From the first day, he
knew she was trying to catch his eye. Internally, he was amused at her
efforts, but he would never show it. He had grown used to her presence
over the couple years after they met, and he enjoyed having her
around. Then she started staying at his place more and more. He found
it ironic that the only illogical decision he ever made in his life
was to keep the one woman in his life who was inherently illogical.::

::He knew as much as she did, that Re'Maru's vulcan-like behavior
wasn't as strong as she made it seem. She struggled with her emotions
greatly. Moments like these were the hardest for her. These quiet
moments where she was either with the focus of her emotions, or
without it. He was that focus. All of her control revolved around her
thoughts and feelings for him. It was an old technique, often used for
the young vulcan children, to give them something or someone to focus
their emotions toward. S'bien taught this to Re'Maru, along with
various meditations and mental diciplines. He didn't mind being the
focus of her control. In fact, he rather enjoyed it, and was amused by
the fact that a Romulan could find the inspiration needed to adopt a
vulcan way of life.::

::He sipped his tea, and watched as she rolled over from her side to
her back. Her arms slid up and her fingers combed through her long
chocolate hair. She stretched some and rolled back over to her side
facing where S'bien would have been had he not gotten up. Her pretty
brown eyes opened, and looked around until she saw S'bien in the
chair. She couldn't help but smile playfully. She slid off the edge of
the bed and stood, wrapping herself in the sheet. She tiptoed
carefully over to S'bien and crawled into his lap. He sat the cup down
and wrapped his arms around her. She snuggled into his embrace and
laid her head on his shoulder.::

::He held her in his arms for the longest time. Her eyes closed as she
felt his strong arms holding her. Finally she got up, and gave a
playfull wink as she dropped the sheet and walked into the refresher
area and cleaned up. S'bien followed. Eventually, they emerged and got
dressed, both in vulcan attire. When the door opened, it was like a
switch had been flipped. The smile faded and her emtional control came
on. The only hint of her affections for S'bien being her holding his
hand as she gave him a tour of the Aurora.::

:: The sun was now over head and the temperature had be close to 35 degrees
Cent., and the dust and the wind had died down to a just a breath, but he
continued to walk along the barren rock filled landscape, it the foreground
were the mountains, there he could see the green on the higher elevations.::



::He continued for hours and he was quite sure that it was morning in the
Starship, but no one had bother to ask for the holodeck so he continued to
walk on, the events of the past few days continued to play on his thoughts::




::His roommate at the academy, was a Vulcan, and he was awful quiet, and not
much as a few words were spoken between the two of them, but they both
enjoyed the room temperature of some 30 degrees, at least the Vulcan never
objected, it was difficult if he enjoyed anything.::



oONow I have that redhead firecracker, calling me Buster!,  of all things, I
had been called a lot of things at the academy, and a lot of them were even
worst, but straight to my face, ?.was she quick!Oo



::He continued to walk briskly in the strong Brikar sunlight, it was one of
his favorite pastimes when he needed to think::



oO Training, ??..what was the name of that warrior class on Earth with the
extremely quick moves,?they talked about it at the academy,..a Ninja?..I
will have to look into that, but first things first, getting even with the
redheadOo



Eerie : End simulation.



::The landscape passed into nothing and the bare walls of the Holodeck of
reappeared::



Eerie:Exit


::The exit appeared, and he walked to it, and the doors sprang open, and he
exited into the hallway::

((Corridor))

::He checked the clock on the side monitor, it was morning,  but there was
no activity in the corridor, he was starting to get tired, finally, but he
walked to the Recreation room, finding it empty, he found a terminal and sat
down in front of it::

 ((Recreation area Deck 4))

Eerie: Computer : List of Terran fictional characters,?.. characteristics,
long red hair, very strong personality, good strength, stubborn, very
stubborn.



::The computer quickly showed a listing of fictional characters with
drawings of them::



::Eerie spend the next hour going through the records that were storied in
the memory banks::

::Looking at one entry, he looked at the picture and the characteristics of
strong willed  redhead::



oO This will be perfect!, it fits her well,?..but how to delivering it for
the most effect ... carefully?I will have to give that some more thought?Oo

:: He spend the next hour creating a holographic training program with what
he learned was a Terran Warrior class called the Ninja, which used rapid
movement with antique weapons and sticks::



Eerie : Computer, end session


::He was ready to get some rest, he left the recreation room, and walked
around the corner to their quarters, he looked at the screens by the side of
the quarters, both Eerie?s and Blackwood were listed ::



oO Interesting, but it is too obvious Oo

((Shared quarters Eerie -Blackwood))

::Eerie entered the shared quarters, the lights were off, he did not bother
to turn them on, he found his bunk, and stretched out, there was a very
minor odd order in the air::

should raise the temperature to something reasonable, but ?Oo

 | [SB118-aurora] Ensign Re'Maru: Moments
 | ((Aurora: personal quarters))

::The ship tour went predicably well. S'bien was mildly impressed by
the ship's capabilities. He commented that the science labs were
"amazingly efficient", which coming from S'bien was very high praise.
The tour ended with a quiet meal in the mess hall, and concluded at
Re'Maru's quarters. They meditated together, and practiced more on
Re'Maru's discipline techniques before finally retiring for the
evening.::

::Re'Maru was the happiest and content that she's been since she left
for Starfleet. Although he would never admit it, S'bien was proud of
her accomplishments. During the day, he was complimenting her often.
While many would see it as a simple and even bland sequence of events,
it was romantic for Re'Maru. She had spent time with her husband and
bond-mate. They spent their time together, only leaving her quarters
the one time. The rest was spent together in solitude.::

::S'bien was a quiet one. Typical of a vulcan male, he was strong and
physically impressive, but always logical. He rarely spoke, save when
it was important. To the unlearned, he was cold, and even unfeeling.
Re'Maru knew different. His touch was always gentle. His eyes had a
certain warmth when they looked at her. He even liked holding her
hand. These simple gestures screamed to Re'Maru about how he felt for
her.::

::If S'bien had to describe Re'Maru, he would relate her to the
mustangs of Earth who used to roam free across the Utah plains.
Compaired to the vulcan society, she was seemed as wild and untamable.
Dispite this, she learned to calm down, and even adopted the vulcan
way of life as her own. When S'bien first saw her at the hearing
concerning the prank she pulled at the Vulcan Science Academy, he saw
the passion and full range of emotions she displayed. Her rebellious
nature as she literally laughed at the Dean of the Academy amidst all
the others.::

::He often wondered what could tame a woman like her. In many ways,
she still has that fire and passion as before, but she's learned how
to curb it, and keep it under control. Could the emotion of love be
really strong enough to change a person's nature? Re'Maru seemed to be
proof that it could.::

::When S'bien rejected his betrothed, the uproar that followed
escellated when he walked in with Re'Maru and announced her as the one
he would marry. People thought he went insane. They called it an
illogical decision. Re'Maru's defiant nature inspired him to set aside
logic and follow his instincts. He has never regretted that
decision.::

((Aurora: shuttlebay))

::The couple awoke efficiently to help S'bien get ready for departure.
While not as long as she would have liked, she was overjoyed to have
S'bien around. She escorted him to the shuttle. The pilot stood
outside the shuttle, waiting for S'bien to enter. S'bien stepped away.
Re'Maru held onto his hand until the last possible moment, when she
was forced to let go due to distance. He could see the sadness in her
eyes.::

::Those pretty brown eyes told volumes about what she was feeling. He
stopped and set down his satchel. She darted forward, embraced him for
dear life, and kissed him deeply. It was clear that she didn't care
who saw her control fail at that moment. The shuttle pilot blushed and
coughed softly, then stepped into the shuttle to give them a moment.
S'bien held her close.::

::The kiss ended. She looked up at him. S'bien brushed a hand back
through her soft and long chocolate brown hair.::

Re'Maru: ::whispered:: I don't want you to go ...

S'bien: ::whispered:: We will see each other again soon.

Re'Maru: ::whispered:: Not soon enough, tho ..

S'bien: ::whispered:: Focus, Beloved ... We have our duties that keep
us apart. Time will bring us back together. Until then, remain
confident.

::She gave a nod and kissed his cheek and stepped back. He picked up
his satchel and stepped over to the shuttle and entered. He paused and
looked back, giving a simple wave. She gave a soft smile and waved
back gently. She stood there for the longest time, watching the
shuttle take off and leave from sight.::

::Once alone, she brushed a hand across her eyes. Her face went stoic
and vulcan like. She turned and left for her quarters, where she
changed into her uniform, then made her way to the sickbay to resume
her duties.::

:: He entered the Ready Room it was certainly starting to get full, he
nodded at the Captain, the captain acknowledged his attendance  and the rest
of the officers that were assembled::



oO A new face or two, yea that right we have a few new officers, but I guess
that this is not the time for introductionsOo ::Looking around the room::



::He found a corner, if your could call it that and stood there, of course
everyone noticed the Brikar enter the room::



oOGood Luck on making your self, not noticed Eerie, you stick out among this

am a bit short for my race?interesting?.I certainly took care of myself in
rugby on Brikar, however, Provincial team 3 terms in a row ..hmm?Oo

to get started, a few of the Lt. Cmdrs were talking in hushed tones, the
Captain was reviewing something on her monitor, waiting for the rest of the
staff to come.::



::Turning his head, he saw Ensign Blackwood, she looked no worse for  the
wear considering the bloody nose, she looked quickly at him and continued to
scan the rest of the room::

 | ((USS Aurora, Captain's Ready Room))

Vetri: ::grinning slyly:: Well, I didn't get any screaming from Starbase
Security, so you must have been either well behaved or discrete...

:: With a mildly embarrassed laugh, Barnes looked around the room before
answering.::

Barnes: Sorry captain. I think may be a bit of both. I'm not going to name
name, but to say some of the crew let their hair down and enjoyed themselves
will suffice I think.

:: There was a whispered comment from Gilaars at that, but Della chose not
to enquire - especially as Blackwood was looking faintly uncomfortable as
well.::

oO Why am I starting to think I really *did* miss something here...? Oo

:: Still, now that everyone was present, it was time to get down to
business. Setting her coffee aside, she glanced over at her desk to make
sure the box she was going to need was there, then took up a spot where
everyone could see her clearly.::

Vetri: There are a few items we need to cover in this meeting, so I'll get
started. The first is one of the duties of a Commanding Officer, and is one
of the most serious parts of the job. ::looking around the group for a
moment:: Lieutenants Tali and Malcolm?

:: Beckoning the pair to join her, she kept her whole demeanour deliberately
neutral, not giving away any hint as to what this was all about - though she
suspected at least *some* of the more senior officers present had figured it
out already.::

:: Once the summoned pair had joined her, she reached over to the box on the
desk, flipping open the lid and removing two smaller ones. Turning back to
the women, she popped both of *those* boxes open, revealing the two solid
pips that rested inside each one.::

Vetri: You've both been solid, dependable officers, and it's been a pleasure
serving with you. Combined with the hard work you've put in since joining
this crew, it is my distinct pleasure to inform you that you can both drop
the "JG" part of your ranks. ::hanging over the new pips with a smile::
Congratulations to you both.

Tali: ?

Malcolm: ?

Anyone: ?

Vetri: ::still smiling as she retrieved another pair of little boxes:: Take
a seat, ladies. Ensigns Re'Maru and Eerie - your turn.

oO Oh my gosh,........ what the **HECK** is going on here?, I better get
down there, what ever it isOo

::Eerie moved from the wall and walked over to the Captain with
Ensign Re'Mara::

::There was the    slightest of redding in Eerie face, but his face showed
no emotion, perhaps a ting of surprise and shock, it was extremely difficult
to tell::


:: After waiting for everyone to either return to their seats or come up to
join her, she started speaking again.::

Vetri: There are those that say the first step is always the hardest, but
I'm not sure I agree. Either way, you two have both proven yourselves
valuable assets to this ship and it's crew. ::handing over the boxes and the
one-and-a-half pips inside:: Ensigns, it is my privilege to promote you to
the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Congratulations to you both, and I
wish you the very best in your continuing careers.

:: With a smile, she stepped back, letting everyone chime in with their own
congratulations for all four of the newly elevated officers.::

Eerie : Thank you Captain,  ....I....::His voice trailed off into silence::

oO Thank goodness, you don't have all those facial muscles like the terrans,
time to make a graceful with draw, but ....Whow!, ::

::Eerie nodded the now LT JG Re'Mara, and seeing that everyone was looking
at him, he did a slight nod to the rest of the assembled officers, he saw a
bit of surprise on Ensign Blackwood's face, but no more that some of
others::

::He took the tiny box carefully and returned to the back of the room, with
a little extra spring in his step, he took his position, but was not hiding
now, just standing there, looking a bit more rigid than normal if that was
possible::

put on later, he was listening to the details from the Captain, there was
going to be a change in the Science Dept, but he had not heard anything yet
to tell him of the destination or the purpose of the crew of the Aurora.::

oO:I hope we something that I might be able to get an away mission, perhaps
I would get the chance to pilot a shuttle craft, I was a pretty fair pilot
at the acedemy, Oo

::Eerie looked around the room, most of the rest of the staff were looking
like they were sitting on the edge of their seats, Eerie looked around
looking for a likely candidate, he still had not spoken more that a few
words to any of them even in the line of duty::

 | Re: [sb118-aurora] Ensign Zonhar - A Counselor's Work Has Only Just Begun
 | (( On Board the USS Aurora inside the Captain's Ready Room ))

:: Zonhar sat on edge taking in every bit of the experience of being aboard
a star ship and actually a member of the crew. He delighted at the
opportunity to be here in the Ready Room, though he also found it a bit
daunting. As he surveyed the faces of those around, he was somehow aware, as
he had always suspected, that being a counselor aboard a star ship would
indeed have its work cut out for him. He would never profess to be such a
quick judge of character to even at all suspect that he could deduce each of
the officer's personalities and quirks just by glancing at them, but he had
been a counselor for quite some time now, and little expressions, movements
in body gesture, comments back and forth and what was both said and unsaid
between them all were telling clues and further places of inquiry for him.
Rubbing his thigh absentmindedly, right above his scar, he reminded himself
that he would have to tread lightly and not overwhelm or burden any of the
members of the crew as he got to know them.

oOI cant help but wonder at what the cold shoulder was all about from this
science officer. Perhaps she is not really the talking sort? She did turn
awfully beat red at mention of shore leave activities...perhaps she simply
did not wish to draw much attention to herself. I will let it slide until i
can approach her more formally when not all of our concentration is needed
on the matters at hand.Oo

::Commander Vetri inquired if there were any other points of interest on the
crews mind, and when the Lt. Commander spoke up Zonhar snapped his thoughts
back to attention.

Dickens: Just that I hope we leave the Neutral zone alone for a while. I've
had enough for some time.

:: Della gave a soft hum of agreement with that, then looked over at Barnes
when he addressed her.::

Barnes: Captain. Is there any news from fleet about our next assignment?

Vetri: There is, and I'll get to it in a moment - there's a little something
that I almost forgot despite the mental notes not to. Now, some of you might
have noticed an unfamiliar face here, and it's about, well actually it's
*past*, time I introduced him. Ensign Zonhar will be taking over duties as
our counselor.

Dickens: I'm sure you'll have your agenda busy ensign.

::Zonhar smilled and stood up addressing the Commander and all present::

Zonhar: Thank you Commander. I am quite sure I will, but I am eager, as I am
sure everyone else is, to get down to work. It is a great honor to join on
board with the Crew of the Aurora as I heard fine things from Star Fleet
before being assigned. I just hope I can be of adequate assistance and lend
a helping hand and willing shoulder when needed. ::He tried to make eye
contact with everyone when he said this, flitting his eyes back and forth
with a warm expression on his face, trying to show that just because he was
ship's counselor, didn't mean he was the mental equivalent to a boogie man
or  vampire feasting on their deepest darkest secrets in hopes for personal
gain and rising to the top.::

Vetri: It's a small crew, Ensign, so I doubt you'll get out of your depth.
::smiling softly:: Just be glad you didn't get posted to something like a
Galaxy-class for your first time out.

Zonhar: ::Zonhar chuckled::No Commander, I am quite pleased with my
assignment. Nova Class is much more manageable, and aside from being a fine,
fine ship...

::He paused nodding to the Lt. Tali for compliments on keeping such a fine
ship up and running, before continuing on.::

Zonhar:.. I find a smaller number of patients is more ideal. It makes things
much easier when trying to get to know each member of the crew on a more
personal level. Which I certainly hope to do.

Vetri: Okay, now all that's out of the way. Command, apparently reluctant to
risk us finding another inter-stellar plug hole to get sucked down - has
assigned us something pretty simple.

Dickens: What would that be?

Vetri: A routine sweep of this area along the Klingon border, keeping an eye
out for trouble and generally being a Starfleet presence in the area.

Anyone: ?

Vetri: If there *are* signs of anything brewing, nobody's seen fit to inform
me. Personally, I'm glad we've got a job where we can take things a bit
easier for a while. That doesn't mean we'll be slacking off, however. Mr.
Barnes, any training you want to put your security people through, this
might be a good chance.

Barnes/Gilaars: ?

Vetri: Also, this *is* a border, so keeping an eye out for anything hinkey
would not go amiss.

Barnes/Eerie: ?

Vetri: ::nodding:: T'Lea, Blackwood, there's still some relatively uncharted
phenomena in that area, so feel free to take a closer look as we pass by.

T'Lea/Blackwwod: ?

Vetri: Now, there's hopefully not going to be any major emergencies for the
medical team to deal with, but if you need something to amuse yourselves...
May I suggest checking over the data and such from what happened to Lt.
Tali? We may not need a way to protect her from the effects of that anomaly
again, but any progress on shielding a Laudean from energy surges might not
go amiss.

Tali: Dr. Malcolm and I had discussed some ideas we can test out...

Malcolm/Re'Maru:

Vetri: ::turning to the HCO officer:: MacKenzie, I'll make sure you get all
the updated nav data I can get you before we leave. We don't have a defined
pattern to follow here, so work one out that gives us the best coverage of
the area.

MacKenzie: ?

Vetri: Fair enough. Oh, and you all might be interested to know that
Starfleet has decided a little exploration of the other end of the Rabbit
Hole is warranted. I'll make sure you're kept up to speed on anything found
if you want to be.

Anyone: ?

Vetri: Marcus, anything you want to add?

Dickens: Yes, for the science team we could end near the Azure nebula, it'll
be a good chance to investigate it and check if there could be any movement
in there. As you know it'll not be the first time it's used to enter or exit
Klingon space without being noticed.

Dickens: Ensign Zonhar, as you're new here it'll be good for you to review
our past mission to get up to date of our status. Also it'll be good if you
could give su a review of the nearer planets in the Klingon border and check
past activity on that zone and what we could find if we're to meet any
problem there.

Zonhar: Commander I will get right on top of that. As well I will begin
making further introductions to crew in the interim meantime, and begin
getting to know everyone and will make any reports as needed to the status
of the crew. Always is a good idea before going into any situation, peaceful
or not, to have both a physical and mental/emotional evaluation of all crew,

had enough for some time.

:: Della gave a soft hum of agreement with that, then looked over at Barnes
when he addressed her.::

Barnes: Captain. Is there any news from fleet about our next assignment?

Vetri: There is, and I'll get to it in a moment - there's a little something
that I almost forgot despite the mental notes not to. Now, some of you might
have noticed an unfamiliar face here, and it's about, well actually it's
*past*, time I introduced him. Ensign Zonhar will be taking over duties as
our counselor.

Dickens: I'm sure you'll have your agenda busy ensign.

::Zonhar smilled and stood up addressing the Commander and all present::

Zonhar: Thank you Commander. I am quite sure I will, but I am eager, as I am
sure everyone else is, to get down to work. It is a great honor to join on
board with the Crew of the Aurora as I heard fine things from Star Fleet
before being assigned. I just hope I can be of adequate assistance and lend
a helping hand and willing shoulder when needed. ::He tried to make eye
contact with everyone when he said this, flitting his eyes back and forth
with a warm expression on his face, trying to show that just because he was

:The captain had just finished with the new counselor, on board, Eerie
collected his thoughts::


oO Just we need is a counselor about the ship, but I guess they have their
duties as well, not that I will be planning any sessions with him?.he seems
a friendly humanoid, ?..I think his species has some interesting ideas
concerning mates, I will have to do a bit of research???..not that I am
going out of my way to meet him, I guess I will run across him from time to
time, it is a small crewOo


 oO Perhaps he could do some psycho analysis of that roommate of mine,
Blackwood, what a challenge she would be for him?..but she does have spunk,
I give her that , I wonder what it would be like to work with her on a
project.??Oo

inform me. Personally, I'm glad we've got a job where we can take

hinkey would not go amiss.

Barnes: I understand. I'll make a few calls 'Home' to some old

emitters and the fore tube is now a double multi launcher, so

in the border security, hell when you are my age you know everyone that is
still alive, they tried to retire me last year... 90 years old, why I am
just getting started, but I know too much crap on...., OK but ?.. you owe me
a favor next time you get in the neighborhood, by the way...... there have
been some shadow readings from time to time, it might be smugglers or
Klingon ships coming across the but we don?t have anything solid?. There is
some reports of political infighting in the Empire, more that usually, from
a trader, that while I wouldn't buy a moon from him, is usually pretty good
on the political end of things. Darn Ferringi however? I sent you the raw
sensor readings, have fun, there are hours of data?perhaps that fancy
starship can sort through some of the background stuff?

 | LT JG Eerie - USS Aurora Briefing Comments
 | ((Bridge Briefing Room A))




Eerie : Captain and gentlemen, what we have here is the contacts that we
don't know about, and while most of them are scattered, as I would expect,
there is one area of concentration, right here is the Y989 system, it is not
regularly paroled, and there is no inhabited planet around it:

Vetri: So... Any ideas at all what might be going on there?

Dickens: Whatever... Having no inhabitated planets is a good thing for
ilegal trafic, either of ships, of materias.

Barnes: I just placed a call home to Kronos, they've had an unusual amount
or Orion traffic of late, several raiders have tried to make inroads along
the Romulan/ Klingon border, could that explain the contacts?

Eeire : Unknown, but there have been some speculation about the Orion
syndicate, but the information, is ?..about 3rd hand, I don't know how much
good it is

Vetri: Still worth bearing in mind. Barnes, how solid is what you got from
your contact?

Barnes:The person I spoke to.. Well to say he's reliable is not 100%
accurate, if he thought that telling me the truth would harm the empire,
then he'd lie all the way to my flying into a star.

Eerie : The Klingons have standard patrols on their side of the border, but
a marked decrease in Klingon contacts for a while, they seem to be
concentrating on their own concerns.

Dickens: They should be trying to know as much as possible on what's
happening on the Romulan empire so that part of the border is mostly on our
side so it's relatively normal that they focus there.

Barnes: That's an understatement, since the breakdown of the Romulan empire
there's been a marked increase in patrols and a stand off or three.

Vetri: We're going to be feeling that explosion for a long while to come, I
fear. ::falling silent, then giving a decisive nod:: Okay, keep an eye on
the Y989 system and surrounding area. Anything unusual, we may just take a
closer peek.

Dickens: Our mission is to patrol the border, aren't you willing to face the
whole pirate problem on our own, right?

Barnes: ?

Vetri: Don't worry, I've no plans for us to get into a slugging match -
though I've no doubts the old girl will give as good as she gets should it
come to it. Still, I'd rather not get the evil eye from our Engineering team
for denting the ship again. ::looking to Eerie:: Nice layout, Lieutenant. I
appreciate it.

Eerie: Thank you Captain, If there are any further questions.

oO Almost finished, so far, not too, too bad, ...remember this was your
idea, and not a first date, you are doing fineOo

Dickens: Given the location of the system and our approach path, could you
give us a way to scan the most part of it. I think that looking for
ionization trail could be our best bet in finding something wrong in there.

Eeire: Yes, Sire.

oO Something that Officer Tredd told him years ago about his service in the
Brikar Space ServiceOo

Dickens: I'm not eager to enter straight. Any way to scan in there without
entering directly?

Eerie :One moment, Sires.

oO Was the correct formal term for a lot of Senior Officers, oh, well it
will just have to do for the momentOo


::Eerie was thinking something that Security Officer Tredd told him years
ago, he went to the computer station and typed in a few commands, he could
of done it verbally but didn't want to break the chain of thought, and there
it was::

::The information came up on the screen::

Eeire: Computer, display information on screen, and interface with Eerie K3
and display in adjusting for size, highlight sensor net.


::The running program now showed some strange static devices located just
out side of the Klingon border, they appeared a small starfleet symbols, one
of them was near the system Y989.::

Eerie:: These are an old   sensor array put up by Brikar Space Forces some
50 years ago, they were put up to keep an eye on the klingon border, but
there turned off after the Brikar-Klingon well ...understanding, they have
been maintained and are operational if need be, but their use is prohibited
to direct sensor scans of the Klingon Empire......however their old style
sensors are direction-able, we could scan the area in question without
breaking the agreement. We would have to get the permission of the Brikar
Space Force to do it.


Barnes/Vetri/Dickens:?






Dickens: If it's the Orion syndicate as Eerie suggested, they're very good
in hiding themselves. Even if they're in a commercial base, they'll
difficult to track as they're good in mixing themselves with the local
populations. That's how they'e gained their fame.

 | ((OOC Penny you are so funny, I loved the stuff about sleeping with new shoes, then leaving and returning to your room before leaving again. You know what I KNEW you were going to find the new guy cute. I KNEW it!!!! Brilliant! Honetly you're so funny, I am really looking forward to this. ONly thing is can we make sure T'Lea or Sykarr takes the bridge when Penny and York are busy - just in case someone tries to randomly drop me on it again LOL Oh I like to add my bits in blue so you can see what I added easier. Once we're happy with it we can change it to black and it will be ready to roll out.))

  
 
PNPC Ensign Penelope "Penny" York
Science Geek
USS Aurora

((OOC: You can get to this anytime after your convo with Rathbone, Evanna! :] ))

((USS AURORA ? Junior Officer's Shared Quarters ? York's Quarters))

::  With a growly little yawn, Penny York rolled over in bed with just enough alertness to feel the cool cotton sheets tickle across her skin.::

::  She'd worked the late shift last night, and was finally getting up.::

York:  Computer, time please.

:: People had often made fun of her for saying "please" and "thank you" to the computer, but she honestly felt that machines were doing just as much work, if not more, than most living breathing humanoids, so why not be polite.  Besides, it made *her* feel good to be nice.  And not to mention, she had a weird little idea that one day machines would take over and the roles would be reversed ? humanoids would be running around performing tasks for the circuit boards.  If she was nice to machines *now*, maybe they would be nice to her when the "Machine Surge" happened. That's what she called it, the "Machine Surge" of power. She thought it was clever.::

Computer:  1300 hours.

York:  Oh, wow.  Good morning to me, sleepyhead.  Thank you, computer.

:: Sitting up in bed she tugged her Psycho Zombie Bunnies T-shirt back into place and stumbled into the living area for a cup of coffee, and another long, loud yawn.::

York:  Starbucks breakfast blend coffee, with two sugars and three creams, please.

:: As the replicator got to work, Penny lifted her wrist and jingled the gift that Evanna had given her.  Not unusual for Penny, she'd slept with the bracelet on.  She'd also been known to enjoy the smell of new shoes and sleep with them, as well.::

:: The next hour was spent slowly waking up to full functionality and reading the new schedule and changes that the new Chief had issued.::
York:  Wait? wasn't she the diplomat?  Whysa, howsa, whosa? oh forget it? better get some chow in the Mess, but first?  Hi-ho.  Hi-ho.

:: Whistling her way back into the bedroom she got dressed and headed out.  Actually, she headed out, and then headed back to put her bracelet away, and then she headed out again.::

((BRIDGE))

::  Exiting the lift, Penny eyeballed the new guy at the helm and smiled at him as she passed by.  Having found her target working at the science station she headed over, snuck up on Evanna and gave her a friendly poke.:: 

York:  Psstt? who's the new guy.  He's cute.

:: Blackwood had been concentrating on her work and did not realise there was company sneaking up on her, she almost jumped right out her chair when Penny poked her in the ribs. :: 
Blackwood: What the.... oO There goes your reputation!! Oo
 

York:  Oops, sorry.  Didn't mean to scare you.   ::pointing at the helmsman with her eyes::  Don't you think he's cute?

:: Blackwood doubled over, laughing so hard her head banged off the console. ::
Blackwood: I knew you'd say that! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! ::More laughing:: Oh i'm really sorry Penny. Chalk it up to a bit or stir craziness. oO Blackwood you are the worst kind of friend - no kind. Oo 

:: Blackwood clapped a hand on Penny's shoulder and pulled the young scientist towards her so she could whisper in her ear, without Smilie Joe overhearing, coz apparently he had great hearing. ::
Blackwood: Pssst! ::whispery whisper:: He's smart too. Real smart! huh? huh? How about that?
:: Blackwood released Penny and gave her a wink as she straightened up again. :: York:  Just sayin', I like to appreciate "the cute" that's all.  Hey, thanks for the bracelet.  I love it.  I'd hug you right now, but that would probably be weird. 

oO Weird? Aw i'm unhuggable.... Well you're unlikable too so get over it.Oo 
:: Blackwood made a point of not commenting on the cuteness/ugliness of Smilie Joe. She was sensible enough to wait until he was on a different deck. ::
 
York:  ::pointing at the console:: So what are you working on? 

Blackwood: Oh this? I was just agreeing with the new guy the flight path for the nebula we'll be going through to collect protons. Telling him about the planned research, that kinda thing...
 
York:  Nah, I'm not on duty till the night shift, unless a cosmic catastrophe happens ::laughing:: and I'm called to probe it.  I just stopped by to say thanks, and then head to the Mess for breakfast... well, technically lunch, but it's breakfast for me.

oO Okay? shutting up now. Oo

Blackwood: Well, since you're here... Fancy catching up some time. ::Winking:: girl talk? oO PAH! Girl talk! Listen to yourself... HMMPH Well I can LISTEN at least. Oo

York: ?

Blackwood: Ok. Well hopefully we can find a time we're both free, had a bunch of stuff I was looking forward to telling you. Including this...
:: Blackwood fishes out a PADD from inside her jacket pocket and dangles it in front of Penny. ::

York: ?

Blackwood: Don't ask me about it coz I don't know myself. It's a bit of a mystery to be honest.... exciting huh?

York:

 | ((Briefing Room A))



:: The room was empty now, he had contacted the Security Forces on Brikar,
and talked to Supervisor Tredd,  he would make a call to the Defense Force
for them, but would not promise anything::



::The room was quiet, the briefing had gone OK, but Eerie was relieved it
was over with, public speaking at the Academy had been easy compared to
this, there was no one other that the instructor to impress::



::He left the Briefing Room and when out on the Bridge, Blackwood was at the
helm talking to the officer on duty, the Captain was on the bridge looking
at a report it looked like::



oO Good, I don?t have to deal with redheaded, perhaps I can get a bite to
eat, before my next duty shiftOo

::Another officer was at tactical, Eerie wasn?t scheduled for bridge duty
for a while,  it wasn?t that he minded standing, if fact it was easier that
sitting in those small Starfleet chairs::



::He went to the turbo lift, and it opened immediately, and he entered::



Eerie :Computer Deck Two



::The doors closed, and the in a instant they opened again , and he walked
out on the Deck 2.



((Mess Hall))



::He walked in the Mess Hall, and their was the engineer Elya Tali, sitting
eating something, he wasn?t sure::



::He went to the replicator, and programmed it::



::The replicator did its usual thing  and a large sandwich appeared with a
hot drink::



::Eerie walked over the table next to the one that was occupied by the
Engineer, and started to eat, ::

oO These chairs are such pain, one of these days I going to sit down and
break one of them, ?.. I should have gone to eat in the quarters as usual,
?..I will have to do better at a briefing, you are there to share
information, not entertain them?..but I guess there is a social function as
well, at least for the terrans., they would probably collapse  in laughter
or horror at me , if I told one on those academy jokes? Oo

 | LT jg Eerie, USS Aurora - confusing data
 | ((Aurora Bridge))






T'Lea: Once we are within range begin scanning for bio-signs. We need
species identification and a head count on board the Romulan shuttle.




Blackwood: 15 Lifesigns. 9 Romulan, 2 Klingon, 4 Orion.



T'Lea: Give tactical some eyes out there -- begin emitting a long range
tachyon pulse to detect any cloaked vessels in the area.



Blackwood: Speaking of cloaking devices, that shuttle is equipped with one
so by rights we should not have spotted it so easily. Do you think they wish
to be seen? I am not detecting any damage to the vessel... It is equipped
with six ship-mounted disruptors and two photon torpedo launchers.



::Eerie looked at the read outs,  the relative data came from the science
department he had to admit that Ensign Blackwood was good officer on duty,
but was a disaster area while off duty::

oO(Eerie)This shuttle craft is  above specs for firepower, and this is
certainly an interesting crew or passengersOo




Blackwood: I am detecting a cloaked ship. I imagine that is where the
shuttle is headed.


 ::Eerie check the data from the science department and did a quick
calucation with the difference in the locations of the Aurora and the now
cloaked and unknown vessel, taking in difference between speeds of the
relative ships and the locations::

oO(Eerie) This is really odd, why would a uncloaked shuttle craft would be
heading for unspecified cloaked ship, and from the sensor reading from the
beam, the ship was  at least the size of the Aurora, it was
certainly impossible to tell so farOo



Eerie: Captain: That shuttle craft is above specs for for firepower, and
they are on an intercept course for the cloaked vessel, it displacement is
at least that of the Aurora, it is difficult to tell, and I'm not able to
get any configuration on the cloaked vessel....yet.


 T'Lea: I am prepping our sensors to conduct a focused scan of the shuttle's
cargo, if the Captain should request it. We'll be able to detect all known
contraband such as Kemocite, bio-memetic gel, the components for Remat
detonators, and so on... If their shields are still up, we will need to find
a way to penetrate them to perform the scan.







Blackwood: This is a simple matter. I have already determined their shield
harmonics.


Blackwood: This is the configuration they are using, and these are the
configurations we can use to "sneak past" their shields and carry out our
scans. There is a chance they could catch us in the act and change their
configuration. We may need to prepare a more... "aggressive" approach as
back up.



T'Lea: Agreed, and if we require a more aggressive approach a charged
particle burst should momentarily disrupt their shields.

Blackwood: Indeed.



T'Lea: See to it.

 Blackwood: Aye, sir.



Blackwood:::mumbling:: Quite a bit of activity in the end, this could get
pretty ugly. Not sure I fancy our chances.



Eerie: I am getting the data now, taking a look.


 ::Eerie's three fingers danced over the controls of the tactical board,
 his little eyes darted from one readout to another and then back, He looked
at Barnes, who nodded he head in agreement, at the read out::


Blackwood: Speaking of holding our own. I would like to be prepared in case
this does get ugly. I already know a bit about what weaponry we're up
against, I can do some further probing for more details and adjust the
shields, ready to provide maximum resistance to any attack.


Eerie : I have the data from Science, I am making the adjustments to our
shields now....::Finally,. his fingers hit a few final controls::.., they
are ready upon your order, Sir:



Anyone:

are on an intercept course for the cloaked vessel, it displacement is at
least that of the Aurora, it is difficult to tell, and I'm not able to get
any configuration on the cloaked vessel....yet.


Blackwood: This is the configuration they are using, and these are the
configurations we can use to "sneak past" their shields and carry out our
scans. There is a chance they could catch us in the act and change their
configuration. We may need to prepare a more... "aggressive" approach as
back up.

T'Lea: Agreed, and if we require a more aggressive approach a charged
particle burst should momentarily disrupt their shields.

Blackwood: Indeed.

T'Lea: See to it.

Blackwood: Aye, sir.

Dickens: Romulans don't tend to be so ease on their defensive systems, maybe
we'll need to be ready for a trap of some kind. With Romulans, Klingons and
Orions you should be ready for something tough

Blackwood: Speaking of holding our own. I would like to be prepared in case
this does get ugly. I already know a bit about what weaponry we're up
against, I can do some further probing for more details and adjust the
shields, ready to provide maximum resistance to any attack.

Dickens: I'm sure Lt. Eerie will appreciate that. Check with him that data
you've gathered. Mr. Rathbone, time to intercept?

Rathbone: ?

Dickens: Have they reacted to our approach?


Eerie: Not yet, or no indication....::correcting himself :: Sire, still
nothing on the cloaked ship.

Dickens: Captain what about jumping over them. After all, they're in the
Federation side of the border. Or do you prefer to follow them to that ship
if that's where they're heading?


Vetri: Let's see what happens for the moment. That other ship will have to
reveal itself fully when they hook up, and that will be our chance to get a
better look. ::glancing at Dickens:: You have another suggestion?

Dickens: We could board them while scrambling their comms and see by
ourselves where they're heading, or try to do that with the ship risking to
loose the shuttle in the process.

Vetri: Hmmm... What bugs me is the fact that the shuttle's not cloaked.

Anyone: ?

Dickens: :: Whispering :: Could it be that some romulans are playing piracy
given the situation of their empire?

Vetri: ::equally quiet:: Possible. Things have got to be pretty desperate
over there...

Eerie : Yes, there  are rumors of Romulans, working with the Orions, I think
the scan of the shuttle, gives that "rumor" more weight, Captain.


oO(Eerie) Something feels wrong about this situation, almost like a setup or
trap, but still don't have answer, mind your stationOo



Vetri: Dammit, they must have seen us. Had to happen eventually... Helm, lay
in an intercept on the cloaked ship. Forget subtle, I just want it caught.

Rathbone: ?

Vetri: T'Lea, Blackwood - give me everything you can breaking that cloak. We
need to know what it is we're facing here.

T'Lea/Blackwood: ?

Vetri: ::looking to Eerie and Barnes:: Take us to combat readiness. Not full
red alert just yet, but as close as you can get - just in case.



::Eerie looked at Barnes who motioned what he would take care of on the
tactical board, the both started to raise the capabliities of the Aurora to
combat readiness::

Eeire: Making it so Captain,....... decks are reporting ready, the new
phasers and topedos are on line, defensive fields are ready.


::Eerie's main muscle ticked just a little bit faster,

Vetri: ::flashing a smile:: That'll do. Marcus, I suspect the KDF might be
interested in all this as well - relay our findings and the shuttle's
current course to them. If we have to let one of these ships get away, I'm
happy to let the Klingons snag the other if they want it.

Dickens: ?

Vetri: A little credit with the Empire might come in handy one day.
::looking over at Tali:: Engineering ready to give us some extra power? We
might need it - especially if this guy tries to run.

Tali: ?

Vetri: Best make sure the tractor emitters are ready to go, I think.

Tali: ?

Anyone: ?

OOC: I think I have made it to mix both posts, after all it wasn't as difficult as it could have seemed.

IC:

:: The federation team had arrived as expected. The first to arrive was a big quite old seeming human with a rifle in his shoulder. He found it quite stupid as they could surround them at the second surprising them but their orders were others.::

Barnes: Oh shut up, theres nothing wrong with you. ::Pointing the rifle at the screaming body.::

Barnes: Now what's all this about us causing damage.

Hanak: He isn't used to pain, our doctor will be here soon. This is a result of your attack to our shielding system.

Re'Maru: I am a physician. May I take a look?

Hanak: You can if you wish. I have to worry about this and other things you can see it for yourself. In the next room we have a mess going on there, some cargo had been damaged.

Re'Maru: This will help with the pain until your ship's doctor arrives.

Hanak: I want you to make note of it for your captain, see it for yourself.

:: Hanak moved to the next room while the doctor attended to Nakesh. As they entered the room they could see some canisters and bigger ones. As they approached they obviously requested what was there. ::

Anyone: Response

Hanak: This are some valuable parfums made from some curious lifeforms that we're transporting to trade them. As you can see we're loosing part of it.

Anyone: Response

Hanak: The containers? ... other trading material.

Re'Maru: What is in these containers? "Living" material?

Hanak: Yes, they're alive. We don't tend to trade with dead things, they're more... valuable being able to interact.

:: Hanak could see they're beginning to be dubitative, as the gas was making it's effects. He decided to make a step forward ::

Hanak: I'll allow you to take a look, but don't be surprised by what you'll find.

:: He moved to the container and the away team looked curiously. Inside there could be seen some men and women tied with chains. Mostly they're Orion females, but there were some males and females from different species. At this point three of the guards that were escorting the away team moved behind them, their weapons lowered but ready for use if necessary. ::

Hanak: What do you think of them? There's a very good price for them, as Ferengi will say they're worth a good price. Wouldn't you be interested in them?

Re'Maru: Did you know there are 211 bones in body of an Orion adult male?

anyone: response?

Re'Maru: The sternum holds the bones of the ribcage together, which
protects the vital organs. Strike it properly and it crushes the
heart, which for the Orion is positioned right behind the sternum.
Death is instantanious.

::Re'Maru gave a mild glance to the guards who started to focus on
Re'Maru. She turned her glare back to Hanak, and tilted her head
slightly. The defying looks where cut by Evanna's question that seemed more focused on the Orion injury than on the slaves.::

Blackwood: Re'Maru, tell me about this man's injury please.

Re'Maru: ?

:: While Re'Maru looked over the injured Orion Blackwood conducted an investigation, using her tricorder to take in the evidence. Several things did not add up. ::

Blackwood: I agree doctor, my readings also indicate the injuries are not consistent with damage caused by the kind of console overload they suggest. The injuries are not the correct type for this, they are consistent with disruptor weapons however. As the doctor said, I would expect injuries from the type of malfunction you claim to be on the arms, upper body and face... not the leg. Did you have a disagreement with your "friend"? Shoot him in the leg?

Hanak: Do not be preposterous, we are clearly unarmed, You suggest we would willingly damage ourselves and our own systems? You federation dogs are even worse than we could believe possible.

:: Blackwood continued to scan, the two Orions began to grow restless. ::

Blackwood: Landau, have you discovered the source of the console damage?

Landau:?

Blackwood: Okay.

:: Blackwood scanned the area with her eyes and tricorder looking for anything out of place. Slowly she walked towards the Orions, they grew more and more uneasy by the second. Blackwood stopped at the vent, the readings were strongest here. She looked around to see where the readings could be coming from, looked back to her team with a slightly puzzled look. ::

Anyone:?

:: At this suggestion Blackwood lifted the covering of the air vent away, reached inside. She had to reach right back, but there is was - a disruptor pistol. Looking triumphant Blackwood challenged the two Orions for answers. ::

Blackwood: Care to explain this-

:: The game was up and the Orions knew it. Blackwood was cut off mid-sentence as Hanak grabbed her, pulling out a pocket knife and putting it to her throat, simultaneously disarming her. .::

Anyone:?

Lt. Cmdr. T'Lea
Chief Science Officer
USS Aurora, NCC-72750

((USS AURORA  BRIDGE))

:: Unable to pay attention to anything going on around her, T'Lea slumped to the floor as another tremendous growth spurt pushed at her insides. The expansion project taking place in her womb was so horrifically agonizing that it honestly felt like she was going to explode at one point.::

:: Perhaps the only thing keeping her from blowing out everybody's eardrums with a hellish scream was her unwavering focus on her child's katra. Through all the punishment of pain, T'Lea could only marvel at the pure innocence of life -- that shiny little beacon of light, untainted by the world, was the only thing keeping the Romu-vulc calm.::

:: As long as the child was safe, and healthy, *her* condition didn't matter, thought the hybrid.::

:: The growth spurt had passed, and T'Lea suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. Correction, she didn't really *feel* as much as she saw somebody's hand pecking at her. Any kind of awareness of touch didn't connect in the hybrid's mind right now. Unless it was excruciating pain, everything else just felt numb.::

Malcolm: S'cuse me. You are in very big trouble.

:: Panting as if she'd just run a marathon, the hybrid's eyes glazed over a little as she tried to focus on the woman. There were a broken attempt to say, "Doctor Malcolm" as a grateful greeting, but eventually she settled for something easier to breathe in a single word.::

T'Lea:  Jen

:: The Doctor pointed at her stomach in a way that would have been mildly amusing, had not the situation been so serious. Oddly, it was at that moment that T'Lea realized just how big her belly had become over a few short minutes. It was truly terrifying seeing herself *that* large.::

Malcolm: What's all this? You promised me you'd keep me informed on any changes!

T'Lea: I 

:: Was that a joke? Was she joking? Was the Doctor seriously cracking jokes at a time like this?::
:: The small hiccup that came quickly after warned the hybrid that her Doctor was slightly, if not very, loopy from the gas.::

T'Lea: Jen ::cringing:: Listen to me ::scooting up with a wince:: I have to get off the bridge ::stifling a gasp:: Coming accelerated grow

Malcolm: What?

:: Oh for frak's sake! She couldn't say it any more clear than that Well, maybe she could, if she hadn't been trying to BREATHE and *not* alarm the bridge crew, namely Della, with earsplitting screams of torture.::

T'Lea: Accelerated mmffng

:: That last bit wasn't a nice word so it was probably a blessing that a contraction had mangled it.::

Malcolm: I don't know what you are saying, but I know you need to get to
Sickbay.

T'Lea: Yes!

:: While the prospects of getting to sickbay was uplifting, as she was lifted up by Doctor Malcolm, T'Lea was definitely worried about Malcolm's mental capacity to "doctor" anyone. Could Jen properly deliver the baby while high on pheromones? Mister One had said it would need to be a C-section, and the idea of a surgery-under-the-influence was not a happy thought.::

:: Doing her best to keep her feet under her, and somewhat walkative, T'Lea relied a *lot* on Malcolm's shoulders to keep her upright and balanced. Before they stumbled into the turbolift a Marine had picked up the other side of T'Lea to add support.:: 

((OOC: Kagran, you mentioned you had a NPC Marine Medic, if you want to join us, I'm poking a little hole for you to do it. :] ))

Medic: ?

((TURBOLIFT))

:: Another growth spurt buckled the Romu-vulc to the floor as the car set in motion. This time, knowing Della wouldn't hear it, she let herself bellow in agony, and claw at the carpet like a rabid animal.::

:: Rolling over on her back as the expansion passed, she batted away hands as they tried to assess the situation.::

Malcolm/Medic: ?

:: Moving again to swat the attention away, which she didn't know why she was resisting the help -- it was more like a unconscious reflex more than anything, T'Lea noticed that her arms felt extremely heavy and weak. When she looked at her skin it looked ridiculously pale, like death. Like something was sucking the life out of her.::

:: It stood to reason that the baby's rapid growth rate was taking nutrients from its only source -- its mother. T'Lea didn't have her wits about her to comprehend it though. Her eyes went wide and she tried to pay attention to the voices around her.::

Malcolm/Medic: ?

T'Lea: ::comm. slap:: =/\= T'Lea to Cadet Es-Aleh. ::growling in pain:: Report to sickbay.=/\=

:: Since Della couldn't be there for this, T'Lea wanted Gina there, not only because she was family, and not only because she had medical training, but also because she needed to know that the young girl was okay.::

Malcolm/Medic: ?

T'Lea: ::panting, and another comm. slap:: =/\= T'Lea to Ensign York. Report to ::grunting heavily:: bridge. =/\=

:: Curling up in a ball, the hybrid forced herself not to scream, and instead gruffed, huffed, and growled her way out of it.::

Malcolm/Medic: ?

:: It didn't register with T'Lea that they had left the turbolift and were on the move to sickbay until they were actually in sickbay, and she was being lifted onto an examining table.::

T'Lea: Gina? Where's Gina?

Malcolm/Medic: ?

:: A debilitating contraction hit and she nearly rolled herself off the biobed. After being secured to the bed, the Doctor set to work with scans and whatnot, questions kept coming at T'Lea, but she was finding it very hard to concentrate.::

Malcolm/Medic: ?

:: The hand coming towards her with a hypospray was instantly snapped up by the remains of T'Lea's alien strength, and she was not about to let go.::

T'Lea: ::raspy voice:: No painkillers. Hurt ::gulping air:: child

:: Only after they gave a nod of certain understanding did she let the hand go.::

Malcolm/Medic: ?

T'Lea: Whatever happens - ::gasping:: save the child. Promise me. ::grabbing an arm:: Promise!

Malcolm/Medic: ?

:: Time for surgery apparently. Malcolm seemed more clear headed, at least. That was encouraging.::

T'Lea:  nerve pinch 

:: It was a pathetic plea to find someone who could nerve pinch her unconscious before they started cutting the baby out of her, hopefully Gina would get there in time. T'Lea had instructed both her and Della on how to perform the pinch, but whether or not they could actually do it properly had yet to be seen. If anybody else in the room was capable of doing the job, T'Lea didn't have a clue, all she could do at this point was scream as the next monstrous contraction tore at her guts.::

((Romulan Shuttle Craft))



::It had be an eventful journey across the Klingon border to pick up some cargo, Klingon women of all things, but luckily that had been the easy part of the trip, the return part was not, they had found themselves scanned the instant they had crossed back into 'federation space'. First they had fled back to the boarder and now back to the Freighter, and a big pay day ::



::The shuttle was spacious by Romulan standards, it would be tight fit for docking with the Orion freighter :: 



::The had received the hail from the Federation starship but it had been dismissed as a bluff, but the person sending the hail certainly sounded like he believed it::





::The two Orions working the controls, knew they would be range of the Federation ship soon, and they knew that they were well armed but their shields would not take much punishment::



Theren(startled): Renrre, I have phaser fire from the Federation ship, they have fired on the Freighter!



::Renrre turned from watching the Romulan assult crew sitting in the back watching the drugged Klingon women slumped and bound in the back of the shutttle::





oO(Renrre) What sicko would want Klingon women slaves, it is more like a death wish, you would have to keep them drugged to a certain....Oo



Renrre: Darn that Federation ship , Leishani had said that he would take care of things, ?....(to no one in-particular)






oO(Renrre) Can't risk tangling with starfleet, can't go back to Klingon space, they had probably been alerted by now, not too many options leftOo



::Theren looked back to Renrre, they would be in weapons range soon, and the Federation ship had them still hopelessly out classed::



Renrre : Theren, drop the cloak, and alter course to two one eight mark nine, maximum warp



Theren : That will bring us close to Brikar space:



Renrre : They don't patrol that far out and maybe while the Federation ship is busy with the Freighter we can slip away, and get that darn cloak working properly, engage.

in to his board, but luckily he was getting the hang of thinking and
reacting on his feet, which was a good thing for everything at once was
happening. Luckily Cmdr Barnes had shortcuts to almost very system on the
ship already routed to the tac board., he was thinking that he could almost
run the ship single handed if required::



::He watched the officers come back on the Bridge, first it was Ensign York
looking a bit hung over walked over to the science station, looking a bit
pre-occupied ,  her uniform was a bit off centered, and looked like she had
put it on a hurry, but Eerie was in no position to complain at least she had
all of hers, she looked his way  and  gave him a weak smile.::



oO I could be considered out of uniform, but I don?t think anyone really
matters at this pointOo



:: Then First Officer Dickens came back on the bridge and started to talk to
the Captain, about the Orion Ship, Eeire half heard the conversation, but

::Eerie looked at his long range scanners and back checked the log, the
ships were stationary and it appeared a tracker beam held the shuttle::

::Eerie had just noticed a change on his long range scans, he was spending
the majority of his time on the Orion Freighter, when he noticed the change
of the Brikar Patrol Craft and what appeared to be the towed shuttle craft,
at the speed they were heading the Brikar Captain was still in saftey margin
for his ship but still making the best possible speed with a towed ship, he
had to admit with everything that was going on, he wouldn't mind to have
another person at the tactical station, but he was coping::

Ttrete: =^= USS Aurora, this is the Verter we have the shuttle craft in tow
and we have plotted an course towards you and the Freighter. We be there in
about 30 of your minutes =^=

::The captain turned to her command chair console, she looked like she had
the weight of the universe on her shoulders::

Vetri: Nice job, captain. Find anything interesting?

Ttrete: =^= We have Romulans and Orions in custody, they appear to gone
across the border and kidnapped two Klingon women, who are in our medical
bay?..we figured you might need assistance =^= ::There was absolutely no
inflection in his voice like he was stating a fact and not an opinion.

Vetri: ::smiling tiredly:: Thanks... We're good for the moment, but having
you around will certainly open up options. Along with the fact we have their
captain in custody.

Ttrete: =^= Interesting, Captain ??? ::The tone changed in the slightest to
a bit more friendly:: I hope you would do me the honor of a visit at some
point, Brikar is not the garden spot of the Sector and we do not get many
visitors =^=


Vetri: I may just take you up on that. Unfortunately... not for a little
while, I think - no idea when we're going to be done here. ::thinking for a
moment:: Since you rescued them, I'll leave returning those Klingons home to
you. If nothing else, the fact the Empire will have to thank you for it
should be a fun experience for you.

Ttrete: =^= Of course, Captain, ::Then it was back to business::  I will
make the arrangements, Verter out =^=

::The thoughts of a warm ship crossed his mind, while he was pretty used to
the colder enviroment of the Federation ship, he was thinking of the
wonderful heat that was problably on board the Brikar ship,::

oOThink about those nice wide hallways, you would have a difficult time in
a  Federation starship with two Brikar passing by,Oo


::The captain to seem to be in slightly better spirits after the
conversation ::


Vetri: Well, at least *something* good has come of all this, even if nothing
else does.

Eerie: Captain :: Looking up from the tactical board, and focusing back on
the work at hand:: The Empire will be pleased, as much as that is possible
with Brikar involvement.::Still not sure why anyone would what to have a
slave, let along a Klingon one::

Vetri: Not sure I want to think about what they wanted them for... But I
suppose I get to ask. Keep an eye on things here, I need to go talk to
Dickens' guest. Tali, keep working on getting things fixed up. Eerie, watch
that Orion ship closely. If they try and run, call me.

Tali: ?

Eerie: Of course, Captain.

Vetri: York.See if you can't get a breakdown of that gas they were using. If
we can formulate a decent counter to it, we can spread the word and that's
one less thing someone can try and use against us.

York: ?

Vetri: ::smiling:: Do the best you can.

:: The Captain moved to the Ready Room, perhaps feeling that something had
gone right, and maybe some answers might be forthcomming.::

::Eerie when back to keeping an eye on his station ::

oO The weight of command appears to be quite consummng, I'm sure that T'Lea
is also weighting on her mind, it would be good to get a status report on

After a few minutes a young officer came to take her up to talk with the federation captain. It'll be interesting to know her and see what kind of person it was. He's worried for her ship, to know what'll be happening after her capture. After a short walk and a ride in a lift he entered the bridge of the starship that she analized trying to get as much info as possible. It's an open structure with a few places to hide in case of a firefight, however the three guards were too much to take them in one move. Soon she entere a room where a Trill woman that she recognized as the captain of the ship was sitting.


Gilaars: Captain Leishani, ma'am.

Vetri: Thank you, Lt. Please, take a seat, Captain.
 
Leishani: Are you trying to be nice with me,... now?
 
Vetri: I see no reason we can't at least *try* to stay civil about all this. In fact, in that spirit, I'll even let you start things off with your explanation of why your crew invaded my ship.
 
Leishani: First, your ship appears from no where and attacks my ship, renders our protection weakened and some of my crew wounded. Then you try to look innocent and friendly but you didn't fool me. If I've not agreed to allow your people in you'll have forced the situation to do so or bring us to one of your starbases where they'd have dismantled my ship looking for whatever that fits your willlings.

:: The Trill woman nodded as if she's listening to her, but Leishani wasn't confident about this at all. At one point, though, she did hold up a hand to interrupt her, however, as the door chimed once again.::
 
Vetri: Excuse me, please. Come in.
 
:: The door slid open once more, this time to reveal one of the people that went to her ship that sat at one side of the room::
 
Zonhar: ?
 
Vetri: Not a problem, Ensign. Now, Captain... ::smiling politely:: I believe you were coming up with some excuse for your crew's behaviour? I'm afraid that anything based on "we started it" isn't really going to work, since we were well within our rights to intercept your vessel. Not only that, but you took advantage of the fact that we accepted your invitation send people to your ship for a proper face to face chat to slip attackers onto this vessel.
 
:: At that point, all traces of warmth and friendliness dropped away, revealing the fact that Della was more than a little displeased right now.::
 
Vetri: I don't appreciate people trying to screw me around that way, Leishani. This is well and truly your last chance to convince me not to haul you and your crew off to the nearest penal colony and dump that piece of junk you call a ship into the local star.
 
Leishani: That's what I was talking about, if you don't like the answers you came with threats. You're no different than the others that your Starfleet spit things of. Ok, you win, I propose you a deal.
 
Vetri: What sort of "deal" am I supposed to agree to?
 
Leishani: The one that will give you a surprise. The one that you were not looking for that that came up to you and that will surely please you and your Starfleet superiors. I get that you're not able to check on the Bajorans that were on my ship hiding.
 
Vetri: And why, precisely, are you carrying a group of Bajoran passengers hidden on your ship, and why the great lengths to conceal them?
 
Leishani: Not different from you they came paying a good price for transport and discretion, however once on the ship and on our way they suggested me to do a change of course to rendezvous with another shuttle and to travel to a location not on our usual ports.
 
Gilaars/Zonhar: ?

Leishani: They're very secretive on their intentions but they make sure taht we don't move against them. In fact one of my guards did and he's not with us anymore.

Gilaars/Zonhar/Vetri: Response

Leishani: Somewhere on sector 321, I doubt we can ever find his body. Telling you this I'm putting in risk, not my life, but that of my entire crew. However I don't know what will be happening at this time there. Kidnapping me you've left my ship completely in their hands so you better let me return to my ship before it's too late.

Vetri: Response

Leishani: You have my ship with a tractor beam, right?

Vetri: Response

Leishani: I supossed it that you'll not allow free movement after what happened. What will happen if a reactor explosion occurs in my ship while you have it tractored?

Vetri/Gilaars: Response

Leishani: I won't discard it.

Vetri: Response

:: At least she's given a chance to do something. ::

Leishani: I could speak to my ship, convince them that they'll be escorted out of Federation space while I was kept on your ship to be trialed for whaever charges you think you must have against me for what happened. 

Vetri/Gilaars/Zonhar: Response

Leishani: It's the only thing I can came up to avoid a disaster.

Vetri: Response

Leishani: All I know is that they some day told me that what they're doing will be remembered and that the Federation is so confident in their strength, a strength that they'll put in test.

Vetri: Response

IC:

:: As the doctor came up and cleared him for duty he asked her about T'Lea's condition. He's surprised to know that she's given birth and taht was recovering at that moment. He's glad for her and wanted to go and see her, however he decided to allow her choose the time for his visit. Instead he went out of sickbay towards the bridge to check on things and inform the captain if no one had done it already. ::

(Bridge)

:: As he arrived on the bridge he could see that the captain wasn't there so he assumed she was in the interview with captain Leishani. He used that chance to check on the status of the situation. He didn't saw Tali un the engineering station and neither Landau so he called the Chief. ::

Dickens: =/\= Dickens to Tali =/\=

Tali: Response

Dickens: =/\= What's our status? =/\=

Dickens: =/\= Is ensign Landau with you =/\=

Tali: Response

Dickens: :: After the transport from the Orion ship he hadn't seen him. =/\= Hasn't reported to you yet? =/\=

Tali: Response

Dickens: =/\= Check that he's ok and that has reported to sickbay. If don't make him go immediately. If he's not release send someone over. =/\=

Tali: Response

:: As engineering seemed to be holding he checked with another department ::

Dickens: Eerie, what's the status of the Orion Freighter?

Eerie: Response

Dickens: Keep an eye in case they try something nasty. 

Eerie: Response

Dickens: Anything on the long range sensors?

Eerie: Response

Dickens: What about the shuttle we detected before encountering this ship? Has crossed the Klingon border?

Eerie: Response

Dickens: Ok. 

::  He's tempted to call the captain and inform her but knew that her conversation with Leishani was important. Instead he wrote a message for her to read it if she want as it's a sensible information. However he wasn't specific, just a note that he's on the bridge, that T'Lea condition was good and that he'd news regarding her for the moment she's free. ::

Dickens: =/\= Dickens to Blackwood =/\=

Blackwood: Resopnse

Dickens: =/\= How're things on the department? =/\=

Blackwood: Response

Dickens: =/\= That nasty gas was something we need to get rid off. I hope that you're able to work something along with medical. =/\=

Blackwood: Response

Dickens: =/\= Aside from that, could you get a way to overcome the interferences on our scans on some parts of the Orion ship? I'd like to know what they're hiding there. =/\=

Blackwood: Response

Dickens: =/\= Lt. Tali is on engineering in case you need her. Oh, and by the way, as commander T'Lea will be unable to perform the CSO duties you're the ACSO for the time being. =/\=

Blackwood: response

:: Dickens was pleased that Blackwood seemed to be in good order and working. At that moment the captain exits from the CRR room ::

::Eerie watched as the marine detachment brought the Orion captain in the
ready room for the talk with the Captain, he was thinking of his "own" type
of interview, but he knew the captain would do fine, he when back to his
work on the tactical station, later Blackwood appeared on the Bridge looking
a bit under the weather, but of course no one was looking pretty good today,
she gave him an unusually long stare as if she had not seen a half naked
Brikar before, she talked to officer and quicky left the bridge))


oO It would be nice if she would send up a clean uniform for me, but I am
guessing that would be too much to for her to doOo

::The First officer started talking with various bridge personnel about what
had happened since his departure, he turned to Eeire::


Dickens: Eerie, what's the status of the Orion Freighter?


Eerie: Still maintaining her position, we are still having problems with
some of the internal scans, Commander, there is some type of force field.


Dickens: Keep an eye in case they try something nasty.


Eerie: Yes, Sir.


Dickens: Anything on the long range sensors?

Eerie: Nothing out of the usual, we are still recieving data from the Brikar
Sensor net, I'm not sure when they will deactivate it, Commander.

Dickens: What about the shuttle we detected before encountering this ship?
Has crossed the Klingon border?


Eerie: Commander, a Brikar Patrol Craft intercepted the shuttle making a run
toward Brikar space, they have it in tow, and joined us on the other side of
the Frieghter, they have matched our course and speed, and are trying there
own scans of the Freighter, but I'm guessing with no luck, they are standing
by to assist if needed.

::Eerie motioned to an over head screen and the Brikar Patrol Craft could be
seen, a dark rock like wedge in space, there were few lights but it appeared
dark, like a flying rock::


Dickens: Ok.

::The First Officer turned to talk with other members of the bridge, The
rest of the staff continured on their various tasks, Eerie continued to
monitor the situation on the long range scans, short range scanners, keeping
an eye on the Orion Ship, and from time to time getting the data from the
sensor net, and checking out the Brikar ship, it was a busy job, but the
standing didn't bother him::

 | ( Sylkar's quarters )

IC:

:: The last hours had been strange. She wasn't sure what's happened
but she'd become conscious of awakening from what he could tell as a
live dream in a corridor of deck three without being able to know what
she's doing. Right now she's on her quarters recovering of what seemed
a kind of a drug that was vented through the ship, from what the
reports of the bridge had shown. She's abruply interrupted by his
commbadge.::

Blackwood: =/\= Sylkar, I need you to come man the science station on
the bridge.

Sylkar: =/\= I'll need a few minutes... =/\= :: Then she's interrupted ::

Blackwood: =/\= Send one of your staff if you are too occupied, but
make it snappy. =/\=

Sylkar: oO What? Oo :: =/\= No,... I'll handle it myself. Sylkar out =/\=

:: She knew Blackwood has a strong personality but that was rude even for her. Taking a deep breath while she stood and put on the upper of the uniform she thought if the responsibility wasn't too much for her to deal with or if it was something related with what happened to them on the Aurora. After all, she'd been with the Away team in the Orion ship and she just could wonder how'd it be to be surrounded of Orions and felt sorry for her and became a little worried. Moving steadily she took the nearest turbolift towards the bridge ::

( Bridge )

:: As she took the science station and checked what's being done, she noticed that the Orion ship has some kind of blind spots, mostly on the cargo bays but didn't know what's causing them. As she saw Marcus enter she felt a little more relieved 'cause she liked the man, not in a passionate way, more like someone to trust in case of need and to get the work done. She saw that there's a Brikar ship near and had a look as she hadn't met any ship of them ever. It's a curious design but well built, her thoughts interrupted by another comm call ::

Blackwood: =/\= Blackwood to Sylkar, how are things on the bridge? =/\=

Sylkar: =/\= Controlled, sensors operationals, radiation from the Nebula within safety parameters, we're keeping the Orion ship checked but has some blind spots from unknown source, =/\= :: She followed a mental list of everything she'll want to hear and expected a request from her once she's finished, however she's cut in her speech ::

Blackwood: =/\= Listen, I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, it was uncalled for... =/\=

Sylkar: :: Now that was a surprise for Marthia :: =/\= Eh... it's ok, =/\= oO No, it isn't but let's play nice Oo =/\= We've all had a bad time before. =/\=

Blackwood: =/\= I need you and Penny to begin working on a solution to overcome the interference in scanning some parts of that Orion ship. Tali is in engineering if you need her help. I will catch up on your progress tomorrow afternoon. I won't be cleared to return to duties until tomorrow afternoon at earliest, otherwise i'd begin the work myself immeditely. =/\=
 
Sylkar: oO Not cleared? That could explain a few things Oo =/\= Ok, I'll work with engineering as soon as I have a theory to develop, have a good rest =/\=

:: The comm went out and she breathed deeply. It's time to focus as hard as it may seem and co-operative work wasn't something appealing at this moment, so she did her best to analize what could be causing the interferences and then bring it up to the engineering team. ::

Vetri: Nasty suspicions. Leishani, I need to know anything you do about who these people are, and I need it now.

On the way to the brig she studied a possible way to knock her custody, but there were three of them and in the unprobable case that she overcome them she didn't know the ship enough to plan a escape to her ship.

And lately the vital interview with Leishani, I thought it's something you'd like to be done, as your daughter was already born there's no rush for you to come and become agitated.

Eerie : The Orion Ship is still masking some of our scans, the Shuttle will
be leaving soon, and I think the Brikar ship will be here till they are
needed or dismissed, Ensign:



::Eerie spent the next 15 minutes going over the situation and going over
the tactical situation with the young Bolian::



Peiy: Do you know any of the Brikar on the ship out there?



Eerie: Don?t know for sure, there was on cadet that I knew, he is listed on
the crew roster, Ensign.



Peiy: Have you talked with them at all?



Eerie: No, just received the statement about the shuttle.



Peiy: I would like a look around one of those ships sometime, it would be
fascinating. What are they like inside? They look pretty formidable from
what I can see?



Eerie: Somewhat bear by Federation standards, I?m sure the tempture is a
nice 34 degrees Celisus.



Peiy: You must miss your people sir, do you find it hard?





::Eeire thought for a minute, it would be nice to visit home, he did not
have the chance after graduation, just a representative meeting after the
ceremony from the embassy::



oO Perhaps I will have time to run a holoprogram the ensign appears to have
things here in hand  Oo



Eerie: No regrets, Ensign. ::Dryly and formally::



Peiy: ::Feeling guilty for stalling Eerie:: Sorry sir?



oOWhat a pleasure to work with such an officer, seems pretty good, but I
want to be here if something happensOo



Eerie : I will taking care of some personal business, Ensign, if there is
anything to report tell the First Officer, and if you require assistance,
contact me or Cmdr. Barnes, but I think he is on another duty, but  report
any changes.



Peiy : Of course sir.



:: Peiy thought the Brikar looked reluctant to leave, he stood
expressionless as though waiting for something. ::



Peiy: I understand if you don?t wish to be disturbed? but do you want to be
notified of any significant news also?



Eerie: Yes, Ensign.


oOThank you, I would hate to miss anythingOo



::Eerie loved the tactical position, he got to watch the senior officers at
work, but he needed rest and food, and knew he would start slipping if he
didn?t get a bit of both::



Peiy: ::Smiling:: Enjoy your rest sir.



Eerie : Thank you, Ensign



::Eerie turned and walked out of the bridge, he was the solo officer on the
deck from the time of the shooting and the gas attack, there was a lone tech
still working on a secondary system, but the entire bridge crew had left to
be replaced. Dickens was sitting in the command chair looking at report, as
Eeire entered the turboshaft:

OOC: Ok, my computer is working, not perfectly but working. I've read through almost twenty posts and tried to get up to date. I don't know if I'll be available tomorrow due personal events. See you on wednesday.


IC:

:: As Della looked at him he understood that she's weighing her options. ::

Dickens: I'll be on the bridge.
 
:: With a grateful look, she headed for the door, pausing as she passed him to quickly touch a hand on his shoulder.::
 
Vetri: Thanks. I'll try not to be too long...

:: He dismissed that with a hand gesture, just then the comm badge of the captain came to life. ::
 
Malcolm: =/\= Sickbay to Captain Vetri =/\=
 
:: A soft laugh escaped her lips as she tapped her commbadge to reply.::
 
Vetri: =/\= Here, Doctor. =/\=
 
Malcolm: =/\= Captain, you are needed in Sickbay, when you have a moment. =/\=
 
Vetri: =/\= I think I can carve some time out. I'll be down as soon as I can. =/\=
 
:: Ending the call, she shook her head with a smile at the Doctor's timing.::
 
Dickens: Playing with the Doctor?
 
Vetri: She didn't tell me why she wanted me down there, so I didn't tell her I'm on my way right now. Seems fair to me.
 
Dickens: God enough. Give the baby a kiss from me, and T'Lea.

:: She moved to the lift while Marcus smiled. He'd have expected a reaction from the captain regarding her, however she must know that Dickens won't consider appropiate to kiss the captain and less in the bridge, even if it was in the cheek just as a congratulation. As soon as he's returned Tali reported to him.::

Tali: Commander, I'll be down in the marine center -- they've reported
some damage to their holoemitters.

Dickens: It's ok, Maybe we'll need them so it'll be good that they could have their trainig tools working.

Tali: At this rate it seems like we might be using them again in the
near future...

Dickens: Once on space you have to be ready for anything and Marines like to be ready at any moment.

::With a nod Elya headed to the turbolift as well, waiting briefly for
it to return from Della's recent trip.::

:: As he sat on the command chair he saw that they're good on the Beta shift so after a few minutes checking thing he decided to do a quick call. ::

Dickens: =/\= Dickens to Kagran. =/\=

Kagran: =/\=Kagran here sir.=/\= 

Dickens: =/\= I'd like to see you up here when you have a moment, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. =/\=

Kagran: =/\=Ok Sir, I will be up there in a few minutes Sir=/\= 

Dickens: =/\= It's ok I'm not in immediate rush. =/\=

:: As the 2nd Lieutenant presented himself he requested the status of the Marines and for them to do a report of the weak points of the Orion ship and a way to seize the ship and to reunite with him in the morning. ::

:: As he waited Eerie came up with a report on the Brikar ship. ::

Eerie : I have received a communication from the Verter, the shuttle will be taking the Klingon captives back to Klingon space the will probably be leaving in an hour or so, Commander.

Dickens : It's ok, they'll be glad to have their people back.

Eerie : Sire, if it is OK I would like to call in reserve for a few hours.

Dickens : Of course, you've been there more than required. Get rest and be ready on the next Alpha shift.

Eerie : Thank you, Sire

(Next morning )

:: Barnes entered the bridge and moved towards Dickens while he's on the captain's chair and she's on the CRR. ::

Barnes: Reporting back for duty sir.

Dickens: Glad to see you commander, have you finished your check ups?

::Smiling slightly Barnes shrugged.::

Barnes: Doctor Malcolm has cleared me, the Counselor thinks I'm okay. I feel okay, a little embarrassed at what happened, but other then that I'm okay, to be honest I'm bored.

Dickens: I'm sure that will be solved soon.

Barnes: So whats happening with the heap of junk we stopped?

Dickens: They're still holding position, we've contacted them stating that their actions were questioned and that the captain has suggested an arrangement for them to get back to their route, the captain report on her interview with Leishani was interesting, it included the Scarlett Brotherhood.

Barnes; The brotherhood: Pause: Will we ever be rid of those fanatics.:: Sighing:; I suppose theres a mission to the Orion vessel to 'arrest' these bloody nuisances?

Dickens: We're working on it, I've asked 2nd lieutenant Kagran to work with the marines to do a report of the Orion ship in case we need to get there and seize them.

Barnes: I don't know if you ever met Hella on the CHallenger, she lead the Shadow team there. Her XO is now serving here as a member of the SAR detachment, so if their going over then theres a chance we'll all come home. I'll head down to the armory, get geared up and report to Lt Kargan.: Pause:  I take it he's in charge of this mission?

Dickens: No, I haven't met that Hella, go and prepare the equipment, however it's yet to be decided who'll go, when and if we'll go. I have to speak with the captain, so what about a meeting in the CRR with the captain in half an hour? Inform Lt. Kagran too. I think it'll be good for Gilaars too to attend and she'll be less influenced in case there's a problem with those pheromones again, I think.

::Nodding once Barnes left the bridge and headed to the armory. As all the bridge crew get ready he headed for the CRR ::

Dickens: Captain, Barnes and Kagran are getting ready with a plan to board the Orion ship. I've told them to come here when they're ready. It'll be up to you to decide wheter to make it or not.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: I think that if we can capture them they'll give us some info on where they're going and for what reason.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: Given their fanatism and willing to sacrifice, stun phasers might not be enough. I was thinking of some kind of ultrasonic stunner. This way we won't need to have a direct sight of them and it could work behind a barricade.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: Let's see what they come up with.

:: Marthia had been working for some hours but decided to have a rest and enjoy a good juice to clear her mind. She'd been unable to find out what's blocking their scans but reduced the list considerably. It's then that the red haired ensign entered the lab. She looked at her waiting a dry comment. ::

Blackwood: Hello Lieutenant, how are you today?

Sylkar: :: a little surprised :: Fine, 

Blackwood: Have you had a break recently?

Sylkar: Yes, enough to not collapse.

Blackwood: Anything you need?

Sylkar: Yes, a solution to our ongoing problem.

Blackwood: How is it coming with the Orion scanning problem?

Sylkar: Not bad and not good, :: She turned giving her back to the ensign and engaging a display:: I've managed to reduce the list of what could cause our scanning problems. As you see I've reduced them to five items, including a tricorder jamming that the maquis tend to use and exotic materials like radioactive actinides, but we would detect the radiation. We also have Thalium and Thoron particles. However given that they're Orions and their resources shouldn't be strange for they to have them.

:: Blackwood stood with an arm rested behind her back and the other on her hip, and listened carefully to the woman's overview of the situation. ::

Sylkar: :: She seemed more relaxed than the last time they talked so she relaxed a little too. :: I've checked with engineering but they couldn't still find a way to surpass this interference.

were some subtle changes on the bridge, the Captain had just come out of her
ready room, with the First Officer coming out as well, she looked around
taking in the scene, she seems much more at ease the last time Eerie had
seen her, she looked directly at him and there was a faint smile on her
face, something had changed, but Eerie had not a clue.::



oO Good to have the Captain on the Bridge, maybe we?ll kick some more Orion
butt Oo



::Eerie checked the tactical board, and maintained the display for just one
operator::



::The Brikar ship was still there, the shuttle had long since departed, he
wasn?t sure if they would return or head directly back to the home word, it
also depended how long they would have to wait for the Klingon ship::



::He checked the internal scanners and noticed something odd, there was a
new lifeform on board the ship even in accounting for the Orion prisoners ,
after checking the computer records, it was a humanoid baby and it had just
been registered to T?Lea and the Captain as the parents::

:: As the team was transported Marcus lead the team to the cargo bay where they had problems scanning. On the way them met with some scattered Orions that were surprised by their presence and the Marines team dealt with them quickly. As they approached the cargo bay, the Orion presence was lesser, as much as that the last twenty meters or so they've seen no one. Then transporter effect could be seen and the team reacted, only to discover that it's some Federation tricorders, probably sent by the Aurora to help them locating the hiding Bajorans. As they proved useful clearing much of the interference they came to a direct fight with the Brotherhood members that have scatered around the cargo bay, trying to catch them in a cross fire. However Barnes and Kagran directing the marine group quickly moved to one side, taking the position and facing only one front. Soon the equipment and preparation of the Starfleet officers overcome them, and suddenly the fire from the Brotherhood stopped.

he tried to close the bay doors but the shuttle was aready in the path of
the doors and they were programmed not to close with a shuttle in their
path::

Eerie: Captain!, I have a launch of one of our shuttles, and I can't close
the bay doors.::There was a slight strain in his voice::



Vetri: Put it onscreen, and hail them.

::Eerie quickly put the shuttle on the big screen,it had just cleared the
bay doors and someone was in a big hurry, to the point of being wreckless::



Eerie: Captian, no response. ::His tone had fallen back to the normal
montone::


Gilaars: ?

Vetri: =/\= I think I know where they went.=/\=

Blackwood: ?


Vetri: =/\= Gilaars, find out how the hell they managed to bust out of the
brig and boost a shuttle. ::thinking for a second:: Check computer access -
I have a feeling we didn't catch them all. =/\=

Gilaars: ?

Eerie: Captain, it appears that computer access has been breached., Do you
want to pursue?

::There was a pause from the captain::


Vetri: No, we need to stay here. Hail the Verter, and ask them if they fancy
going hunting.

::Eerie signalled the Verter and in a strange language he asked if they were
prepared to corral the shuttle::

::The response was immediate, it appeared while a very patient race, they
were  also very interested in action::

Eerie:  Captain, I am recieving a message from the Verter, they plotting a
course ....::Eerie looked at his control board, there was information
comming in,::.... they will be warping out momentarily:

Vetri: Evanna, grab all the readings you can about where that shuttle is
going and hand it off to the Brikar ship.

Blackwood: ?

:: Eerie looked at his control board, he wasn't very happy with the lastest
turn of events, a shuttle launch under their own noses, he didn't feel the
least bit sorry for the Orions with the Verter caught up with them. ::

:: As Marcus was contacting the Aurora he's thinking of a way to use this ship to their favour. ::

Dickens: =/\= We can make this place strong and if necessary secure the rest of the ship. It occurs to me that they like to have their pheromones running through the ship so if we can tap in the environmental system we could send an anaesthetic through it and for the moment they realize something's there, it'll be too late. =/\=

Vetri: =/\= Sneaky. I like it. I'll get Tali to send someone over to you, Commander. Good work, all of you. =/\=

Barnes: I doubt we'll find anyone else alive commander, the brotherhood are rather good at leaving no witnesses to their activities. All we're going to find is more dead Orions.

Dickens: Could be, however they've kept themselves closed here to avoid detection and the Orions we found on our way here are a sign that they're more worried on other things.

Barnes:: Pointing at the bodies: I've dealt with these before. |They tend to be very thorough in their attention. I'll take Kagran and his team and search the rest of the ship.

Kagran: I feel a quick sweep of the ship should be fine will only take about 20 minuets

Dickens: Ok, do so, I'll wait here for the engineering team and check what's needed to be done.

:: Barnes, Kagran and another marine went to seek the ship. Meanwhile the wounded was transported they made the cargo bay a stronghold to move around and take control of the ship. An engineering team arrived to their location and they set up a plan for the damages. ::

Dickens: Ensign Landau, hope you have the last damages report.

Landau: Response

Dickens: We'll move in a group and try to stabilize the ship. What's the priority?

Landau: Response

::The team lead by Barnes headed back to where they had left the FO and two marines.::

Kagran: Lots of dead bodies on this ship now.

:: Kagran went over to his team to see if everyone was ok and ready to head back to the Aurora::

Dickens: As the engineering team is here we'll stabilize the ship. We'll escort them until they finish the task.

:: The group nodded and he turned to Landau that seemed to be instructing the other engineer on what they'll do. ::

 | ((Bridge))

::Eerie was focused on the tactical board when he heard the Turbo Lift doors
open, but he didn?t look until   Commander T?Lea came passed  by him with a
small bundle of a baby and a blanket which they quickly disappeared into the
Captain?s quarters::

oOBaby on the Bridge!Oo

oO It is cute, but I hope I don?t have to hold itOo ::Remembering his first
experience with a human baby::


(Flashback)

::It was Eerie?s second year at the academy and his tactics instructor had
invited the class over to the mess hall for a going away party, he had
received his first command and had invited everyone over for a party, Eerie
took it as an order and showed up , the party was in full swing, there were
so many people there including some of his classmates, he found a wall and
stood there watching the spectacle::

::He was standing near the door, and no one was paying attention to the
Brikar that looked like a cigar store Indian, just standing there like a
statue in a uniform.::


oOIt appears that everyone is engaged in boring conversations,  they just
stand around and talk ?.....how do I get out of here?Oo


::  Just as Eeire had decided that 15 minutes of this was more then
sufficient, the instructor Commander Herwen came up to Eeire with a young
woman who was carrying a baby in a blanket, which was not having a very good
time, were was some whining which was bearly audioable with all the
background noise::

Eerie : Commander,. . I mean Captain Herwen, congratulations on your
promotion:: Eerie nodded to the woman

Herwen: Eerie, it was good of you to come, I would like to introduce my wife
Renare, ::Turning to his wife :: Honey, this is our Brikar student Eerie, I
have talked about him, and this is our new son, Walton:

Eeire : Yes, Mrs. Herwen and ...Walton.::Very unsure of the social ettique::

Renare:(laughing) Oh, you are something Eeire.... how polite.

oOWhat did I do?Oo

Renare :Eeire would you mind holding Walton for a few minutes, there are a
few people I would like to talk to?

Herwen ::Looking a bit shocked, he turned to his wife :: Dear....Eerie as
probably never....

Renare: He will do just fine, he could probably hold him for hours look at
those arms. :: She sent a look at Herwen, that he better change is tone in a
hurry::


Herwen: Eerie would you mind?

Eerie : I.......::

::Renare thrusted the baby and blanket in Eeire hands, and he did his best
imitation of her holding the baby which wasn?t too bad::

oO I better be really carefully with WaltonOo

::Strangly the baby quieted down and fell fast asleep in his arms, not that
he needed both but he wasn?t going to drop a human baby who compared to a
Brikar baby you could drop but off course you didn?t::

Eerie : Is this right?:: The baby was softly cooing, as is slept like it
didn?t have a care in the world::

Renare: you are a natural,... what are you doing tomorrow night?, I have a
ton of people I would like to see

Herwen:Cadet, you have the 15 kilometer hike tomorrow right? ::Looking at
Eeire::

::Eerie nodded, he was wishing he was doing the hike right now::

::Eerie spent the next hour holding the baby Walton who seemed to enjoy the
warm rocklike skin of the Brikar, who stood there with the baby as people
came and went from the party, Eerie decided that was the last party he would
attend unless it was a direct order by superior officer::

((End of Flashback))

oOThe Commander would not do that to me, ...........I bet it has some nice
spots Oo

::Eerie was maintaining his position at Tactical, he had been monitoring the
activity on the Engineering deck, and had recieved a update from the Verter
which had surprised him, the Klingon Empire had let the Verter on a hot
pursuit enter Klingon space, this was the first time in many years
officially an Brikar warship had entered Klingon space:

::Eerie looked at Blackwood who was intensely working at the science
station, she was hard at work::

oOShe'll make a good officer, if she can focus all that energy of hers,
.....that is right, she wants to do another Holodeck climbing here soon, I
better look up where she is from and dress warmly I  have a feeling I'm
going to be in for it, ..........as long as I don't have to worry about any
babies I'll be fineOo


::Eerie realized with the Brikar ship gone, his change of seeing any of his
species was at an end for a while, but he was feeling a little bit more at
ease with the crew, not that he could count on any real friends as of yet
there were a couple of people that he had actually talked with Blackwood and
Lt. Tali, and his counselor at the academy would be happy::

Dickens: =/\= Dickens to Aurora =/\=

Dickens: =/\= Things seems to have settled down in this freighter, We don't

Eerie:=^= Commander, we have some type of device on the Engineering deck,
probably left by the Orions, who have ecaped in one of our shuttles, the
Verter is in pursuit and has entered Klingon space in pursuit.=^=

oO Other than that is business as usual, Oo


Dickens: =/\= Ok, I'll get back in a moment. =/\=

Blackwood: Pssst Buster.... :: Clicking noise:: Looking good buddy. Hows it
going over there?



Eerie: Fine, Ensign.


Blackwood: ::Shrugging:: Whatever.


::
Dickens: Captain?


Vetri: Sorry, just... :: shaking her head:: Nothing to worry about.


Dickens: ::glancing in the direction of her quarters:: At least for us,
right? Ok, I'll check with Dr. Malcolm and see if our guest is ready to
talk.


Vetri: Just... be careful with him. He's likely a fanatic, and they're not
kown for being overly stable.


:


Blackwood: Sir, I?ve just had some news from the federation - there has been
a major terrorist assault on Starbase 118.





Eerie: Interesting, I hope that no one has been hurt, Sir.


Vetri: I?d heard something about that. Any details?


Blackwood: Several bombs, placed at strategic locations were detonated.
According the the very latest news the total injuries and fatalities are
still been calculated but it?s big numbers. They lost one of their senior
officers too, a Lt Commander Hunt, did anyone know him?


Eerie:No, but I did have a classmate on the Starbase.: : Eerie was thinking
of the person he knew at the academy that made the holoprogram for him::



Vetri: Sorry. ::opening her eyes again:: I?d heard of him, but never had the
chance to meet him. From what I picked up though... he was a good officer.



Vetri: What?s the latest on the station?s situation?


Blackwood: ::Grumpy and glaring:: All traffic in and out of the area has
been stopped naturally, but they say there is one ship on approach that will
not stop or turn away. ::sighing:: Seemingly it just keeps on approaching.
oO I hope they blow it into a million tiny fragments.Oo


:: Frowning, Della considered that. There was a good chance that one vessel
might be tied in with everything else that was happening over there... and
she had a nasty suspicion that the person they had in sickbay right now
might just have a connection or two to it as well.::


Vetri: Any reports on who the terrorists are?


:: Blackwood folded her arms and answered with a glare so intense it caused
a headache to start forming. ::


Blackwood: Not as of yet no, but they have two terrorists detained for
questioning.


Vetri: Well, given that our Bajoran guest is almost certainly a member of
the Scarlet Brotherhood, and Leishani told us they were apparently planning
to ?test? Starfleet... I?d say we?ve got good odds this bunch are connected
to what?s going on at SB118 - and Bajor?s upcoming admission to the
Federation. There are just too many coincidences otherwise.


Blackwood: Agreed...


Vetri: Keep an eye on the situation. I... oO need to get myself under
control.Oo


:: Shaking her head sharply, she looked at Eerie, who was standing as solid
as ever at his station.::


Vetri: Eerie, you have the conn for the moment.

::Eerie was internally a bit surprised, but he hid his surprise and remained
at the tactical station::


Eerie: Of course, Captain.

::Eerie thought for a quick minute, but he would remain at the tactical
post, he could route almost anything to his position, and he thought quickly
about the situation, there was a lot going on, but he knew that he would not
hesitate to call the captain for almost anything, and anything out of the
usual  happened::


oO She will be back soon, and I would prefer to stand,Oo

Vetri: I need to do a couple of things. I won?t be long, and I?ll be back as
soon as you need me if anything develops.


Blackwood: Aye, Sir...




Blackwood: HMMPH

::Eerie thought about a glare at Blackwood, but thought better of it, he
continued to focus on the tactical board, but now was very much aware of
everything that was going on the bridge, time seems to slow and speed up at
the same time, no simulator could do your first Conn watch even if it was
just 5 minutes::

Dickens: I'd wish to speak with him once he's able to maintain a coherent conversation. What's the prognosis?

::She sighed and sat back in her chair::

Malcolm: Our "guest" is going to be just fine. He's still in a bit of
pain, but you could probably talk to him now if you'd like. Though, good luck getting anything from him. He almost took my head off.

Dickens: I'm sorry to hear that.

Malcolm: He was pretty combative for someone dying of poisoning. ::She straightened a few hairs that had come loose from her ponytail:: But, like I said, he'll survive.

Dickens: Ok, I'll take care of him, thanks for your work. Oh, another thing, take some rest, you look a bit tired.

::Jen gestured in the direction of the Bajoran's biobed::

Malcolm: He's all yours.

Dickens: :: He made a half smile to the doctor :: Thanks...

:: Marcus moved through sickbay to the biobed where the Bajoran was lying. After a few seconds he decided that this was a job better suited for Kelfod so he took control of Marcus body and decided to enjoy it. He looked at the Bajoran that looked back with some kind of contained fury. He stared at him for a minute without saying anything, just there, standing. After that, he began moving around the biobed and at a point glanced at the monitor. While doing that he began sensing the man's feeling, that was the good part of not being fully Betazoid, people don't feel intimidated by him just being there. As he moved to the other side he just put his hand on the man's shoulders and looked at him from above. It seems that the man couldn't stand no more. ::

Jenaro: Are you enjoying the view?

Dickens: I don't know, depends... On what kind of person you are.

Jenaro: The kind of person that will kill you at the first oportunity, so don't bother to torture me, I won't tell you anything!

Dickens: I haven't asked you anything... and I don't expect you telling me anything useful. You should be one of their last recruits, right?

Jenaro: You wish... to manipulate me easily? Are you a professional interrogator?

Dickens: No! haha, nothing like that, I'm just a science officer that came up through the ranks. See, I like people that is true to himself and that do what they say they'll do and you don't seem to be one of those.

:: Jenaro looked at him not knowing for sure what he's talking about.::

Dickens: Oh, you don't get me? Let me explain it easy, you're a member of the Scarlet Brotherhood and you've ... swore, or wathever you do to work for them and die for them, right?

Jenaro: Yes and I'm proud of it.

Dickens: And you have swore to comply your task and don't reveal any information to anyone outside the brotherhood, that's why you've given so little information to the Orions right?

Jenaro: They're just a tool and you'll taste our revenge.

Dickens: Oh, we did, but let me tell you that you're far from doing us any major damage. Your team attack on Starbase 118 was a failure and you've failed here too, look at yourself, you're not even able to suicide yourself, how did you expect to fulfill the Brotherhood expectatives.

Jenaro: You're lucky to find me before it makes it's effect and cured me. Give me a chance and you'll regret it.

Dickens: Yes, yes, yes, you're so loyal, but the truth is that in the last moment you're afraid and didn't took all the poison, right?

Jenaro: ...

Dickens: You don't need to tell me, I know people like you. To tell you the truth... ::Whispering :: I'm not a starfleet officer. :: Jenaro looked at him confused :: Yes, I took control if this body a long time ago and just a few persons know it.

Jenaro: Good story...

Dickens: I understand that you don't believe me, and I like it as it'll give me the chance to play with you a bit more. I'll see you later, I have a surprise for you.

:: With that he left sickbay and headed towards sickbay. It's clear that he'll not tell anything under normal circumstances and infiltrating his mind will require him to concentrate on another thing to avoid any mental defens he could have so he decided to play a little sadistic game with him. ::

(An hour later - Holodeck 2)

:: With the man almost crying and begging him to stop, he just needed to mention Farius Prime for him to think about their contact there that he caught telepatically while holding his head. After revealing
the truth, the man tried to insult him but realized that he's been fooled so Marcus moved out of the holodeck leaving security to take care of the man with the instructions from Malcolm on how to treat him. The short ride to the bridge give him time to *talk* with Kelrod. ::

Dickens: oO That was a bit too much, wasn't it? Oo

Kelrod: oO Hey, we got the info and after all it wasn't real... Oo

Dickens: oO For you but for him... I should recognize that you have a hand on those things, it wasn't the first time, right? Oo

Kelrod: oO Well, when you're a soldier they train you to do many kind of things and before loosing my body I was a good soldier. Oo

Dickens: oO I'm sure and I'm glad you're on our side Oo

Kelrod: oO Well I have no choice after all Oo

Dickens: oO Uh? what? Oo

Kelrod: oO Don't worry, It's a joke. I like this federation of yours. Oo

:: The bridge appeared and he moved towards his chair ::

Dickens: Captain, I've... managed to get some information. We certainly need to head to Farius Prime. However going there with the Aurora will trigger any trace leaving the system. I think we'll need an undercover operation there.

Vetri/Anyone: Response

Dickens: True and we can't gather a merchant ship, however we have an Orion ship right there that's warp capable.

Anyone: Resposne

Dickens: We could need a team to work as the Brotherhood members, what do you think? It's the only way I know to get information about if they're planning any other major attack of what's their real objective.

::Eerie saw the Captain came back on the Bridge as  Ens. Rathbone left the
bridge in a hurry she looked at Blackwood and Eerie::



Blackwood: Seems he's taking the news real bad, it seems he knew Commander
Hunt... Harsh blow.



Eerie: I think everyone knows some one from Starbase 118.


Vetri: Damn. ::shaking her head:: Okay... just keep an eye on him, okay?
Loosing friends can screw you up, and he may not actually ask for the help
he'll likely need.


Blackwood: I plan to sir, he seems a nice enough guy and right now he's
gonna need a few more friends.



 ::Eerie pulled up the causality report from Starbase 118, and quickly
scanned the report, where  was Ensign Treade, he not listed under the
report, but he knew that reports like this could change quickly, he and gone
through most the the years at the academy without any real conversation with
him except for that hike::


 (Flashback)


 ::The weather was wonderful, and Eerie was the solitary hike, while most of
the other cadets dreaded the 15K hike with the backpack, he thought that
this was great, the weather was a nice 32 degrees centigrade. The cadets
were left the start in a staggered 5 minute intervals and that was fine, he
wasn't really looking for company::


 :: His backpack was about 100 pounds due to his weight, but someone who was
having fun had put another 100 pounds, but it make little difference to
Eerie::


 ::Death valley reminded him a bit of Brikar Prime, he did not have much
further to go, another 5 kilometers or so, and he had passed a few slower

cadets but everyone was still moving, then he rounded the next bend and
there was Cadet Treade, sitting under a overhang::


 ::Eerie stopped::



 Eerie : Treade can I assist you?



 Treade : Eerie, the rock man, leave me alone, I have had it.



 OO A promising cadet but too many parties and demerits Oo



 Eerie : OK. ::Eerie started to walk away but had gotten only about 150
meters when he turned around and returned to the spot were he was now laying


down trying to sleep, Eerie grabbed him by his back pack and lifted him up
on his feet::



 Treade: HEY! ?.....Eerie what are you doing?:: Eerie set him on his feet::



 ::Eerie's eyes bore into him but his tone was level and measured as
always::



 Eerie: You will finish this course.



 Treade ::Dusting himself off:: Why?



 Eerie : You have the making of a good officer, if you would stop partying.



 Treade: From the ...man...who had never been to a party, you and the Vulcan
barely come out of your quarters except for class and food.



 Treade : Well, I have had it, anyways this is an unassisted hike, and you
don't want to break the rules.::Dryly::



 Eerie : I will make you a deal, I will assist you and you will finish the
course and graduate.



 ::Treade thought for a minute::



 Treade : OK, but ?



 Eerie : No but, you will finish.

Treade: Yes, mister police officer


::Eerie and Treade headed off together, only at the very end did they
separate to finish the course::



 ((End of Flashback))





 oO I hope he is ok, I will try a message as soon as I'm off duty , maybe it
is time to come clean with Blackwood as wellOo


::Eerie focused back on the Captain::



Eerie:  We all need help, now and again, Sire, I will make a point to keep
an eye on him.


Vetri: I know from experience.

::The First officer started to head towards his office and Eerie moved back
to his position::

::Eerie had listened to the First Officer and the Captain talk about the
upcoming operation, did not hear all of it but he got the general gist of
the operation, while he knew that he would love to go, the physical
reconstruction of the Brikar was a long and involved process, the only other
race that Brikar could possibility be would be Klingon, it was a lot easier
to add to, then subtract from a body mass::


oOWho would want to masquerade as a Klingon anywaysOo






oOLets see, without looking at the personnel records, who would you pick for
the operation off of the top of your rockOo



oO Lets see, Barnes is good is a scrap, the Orion woman, Corsetto is a
given, Lt. Tali would be a major assistance with the Orion ship, Grey,
probably a Marine, I guess, York?not her cup of tea, Rathbone, no?not right
now, Lucien Landau well, not both but him or Tali. Blackwood, now that would
be an interesting choice, but with T?Lea out of the rotation, she will
probably have to stay here?..Oo



::Eerie thought for a minute, keeping an eye on his tactical board, he had a
holodeck program that he was going to share with Blackwood at some point in
the near future, a hike would be a nice diversity, as long as she wasn?t
going to compare him to a rock  ::



oO It will be interesting to see who is picked, and  if it matches up at all
with mine,  at all. You better mind your duties EerieOo



::The First officer went to his office, and as he passed::

Blackwood: There is nothing quite so deplorable as people using religion to

 | ((Bridge))

::There was an uneasy silence on the bridge, the Captain was monitoring
events on Deck 8,  Blackwood was at her post and Eerie maintained his
station as well. the attack on Starbase 118 was having a effect on a lot of
the crew,  Eeire didn't know the the Cmdr but he did know Ensign Treade, and
the last time they spoke briefly at the graduation ceremony:

(Flashback- StarFleet Academy-Graduation)

::The last of the speakers had gone, and the crowd had cheered, Eerie
scanned the crowd for anyone that he knew, but he didn't expect anyone from
Brikar Prime to come all this way for the celebration, but he continued to
hope that someone that he knew might have come, but he was already planning
on what his would do. Assignments had been delayed but the counselor told
him that he would get a posting on a starship, and this was all that
mattered, or most of all that mattered, He would perhaps travel a bit, he
had heard that the grand canyon was nice, and he did have a week or two
before he would be required to ship out somewhere.::

::The throng of well wishers had enveloped the new officers, and but Eerie
did not have much problem trying to get out of the crowd and then he noticed
a Brikar, which while there were probably a few on Earth it was a very rare
occasion to see two in one spot. Eerie headed for him, he was about 6'7" and
older as he approached Eerie, it was pretty clear he had never met him
before::


Ambassador GGrete: Ensign Eerie ::As the two Brikar came together he was
carring a box about a foot and length::

Eeire : Yes, Sire :: They stood about 2 feet apart, the Brikar put out his
hand::

Ggrete:: I am the Ambassador to the United Federation of Planets, I would
like to congratulate you on your graduation. ::They grasped each others
hands::

Eerie ::Thank you Sire, I appreciate that you took the time to come.

Ggrete :: I have something from my office, my doctor has told me to quit,
and I thought you might like it:: He handed the box to Eerie::

::Eerie took the box, but did not open it::

Ggrete: It is from the First Federation, it is the real stuff.....Tranya, I
hope you enjoy it.

::Eerie had heard about it, but had never had it, as with most liquor only
the most potion stuff would have any small effect on a Brikar, he had not
had any since leaving Brikar::

Eerie : Thank you, Sire

Ggrete : I am sorry I must go, but again congradulations, Ensign I hope you
have a fine career, and if you need anything let me know. :: The Brikar
turned head headed away::


oOWell, that was something I guessOo


::Eerie turned and started to head back to his dorm room when Treade
appeared:

Treade: Congrad's Eerie

::Eerie stopped and turned to Treade, since the hike Treade had been a bit
nicer to Eerie, but never saying more then a word or two to each other::

Eerie : Ensign Congratulations I was pleased to see you had stuck with it.
'

Treade: I wanted to thank you and I owe you a bunch, for what you did, you
helped get my head turned on straight,  but I have news, unofficially....

::Eerie knew that Treade was a wizard with computer systems, and even Eerie
had heard the rumor of Treade possibly breaking into the Academy computer
system::

Eerie : Do I really want to hear this?

Treade :  Two pieces, of news for you, Ensign .....::He looked around like
he had stolen the keys to a shuttle, than back at Eerie::

Treade :: Relax, Eerie,  you really need to you know. :: There was no effect
on Eerie:: OK, I have heard you have been assigned to the USS
Aurora...great, you will be on a small ship instead of some huge ship
pushing papers or something::

::Eerie was thrilled, if true,  it was a Nova class star ship, small
complement but perfect::

Eerie : What is the other one?

Treade: Well if you would turn around you would see it.

 | ( FO Office )

IC:


:: As the time passed he reviewed the different profiles of the crew trying to choose who he considered appropiate for this kind of mission. He'll need someone from engineering so he thought of Lt. Tali as the ship will remain in a second line. From security he doubted but Barnes was clearly to be on the list and as they're going to infiltrate a dangerous zone another one was required so he listed Gilaars too. In case something went wrong he wondered if Dr. Malcolm will be up to the mission, he didn't know her well and seemed so gentle person that for an infiltration he didn't know how she'll perform so he listed Chris Davies too. He didn't know what they'll find in their destiny so aside from him, someone from science will be good and thought of Ensign Dominic Gray. They'll need someone in case things get really nasty and despite the confidence he had in Barnes and Gilaars looked over the Marines profiles and finally got two good options, Sally Archibald and Griffon Rawlings. Finally there's a point he'd almost forgot, as it's an Orion ship he's not used to pilot them, so ensign Rathbone could be the choice to do that task. ::

:: As he had the list he looked again at it and despite he didn't like to have people on it that's been married or that have children he considered the need of them and thought of Vojana and how she must feel everytime he's sent on a mission and understood how Della should feel everytime she send out an away team. Also considered the matter of someday commanding his own ship were those were the kind of decisions one should make when going up through the ranks. He's used to take those decisions on his department but involving the entire crew and departments seemed different and weighed a lot more. He re-checked the list and send it to the captain to acknowledge it and a message to all the involved informing them to confirm the reception and to go to sickbay to undergo the necessary cosmetic alteration, fortunately for them they have the bodies of the Brotherhood as a model to follow up. Once this was done, he moved to sickbay to be the first to be altered. 

( Sickbay )

:: As he entered sickbay he didn't saw Malcolm who seemed to have followed his counsel on taking some rest ::

Dickens: Hello, I hope you're not too busy.

Anyone: Response

Dickens: As we're going with the Orion ship soon I thought I should be the first to ressemble one of the Brotherhood suicidal. 

Anyone: Response

Dickens: The prettiest, of course :: He smiled a bit while the doctor told him to wait in a biobed.

 | ( Sickbay )

IC:

:: While he's being altered he asked for a sedative as he didn't like the sensation of cutting and changing. In his dream he saw himself living in a house in a mountain with some trees here and there. He's standing at the front of the house and then saw two children, girls, of aproximately five and seven years one with black hair the other was blonde that were coming towards him but he couldn't hear what they're saying but they had a bird in her hands. He smiled and they entered the house from where Vojana was exiting wearing some loose pants and a T-Shirt and embraced him from behind. He felt good and calm and hoping that nothing disturbed them, however the effects of the sedative faded and he's again in the sickbay with people around him. He sat slowly, being helped by the doctor. ::

Doctor: Response

Dickens: Strange, but well. can I see the results?

:: He's given a mirror and he could see his new face. The first sensation was strange, not recognizing himself but for a few traits. He could see that two or three of the members he'd chosen were on sickbay as if waiting to see if his surgery has gone well to do theirs. ::

Dickens: Not bad doctor, I hope you keep my features well saved. I like my own face and want it back.

:: As he's given the answer with a mild joke he gestured to the others to take their places for their turn and he moved out of sickbay and took a lift ::

Dickens: Bridge

:: As the lift moved up he thought about the different things they'll have to keep in mind their culture and the little info they've managed to hack from the Orion ship and what the prisoner had told them. As he moved out of the bridge he could see the surprise on the others face. ::

Dickens: Not a laugh... :: He moved towards the central chair :: The crew is undergoing surgery, how's the Orion freighter?

Vetri: Response

Dickens: I'll check a few things and move onto it. Once everyone is ready and transport there, we'll plot a course to Farius Prime. We'll send the reports in bursts instead of standard communication to reduce the chance of being intercepted. Whoever is free will contact you once or twice a day to receive and give information.

Vetri/Anyone: Response

:: He moved to his quarters to check that he had everything he needed in a small replicated brown bag and send a short message to his wife telling her that he's ok and that the mission was going well without giving much detail to not worry her. Then moved to the Orion ship and waited 'till the officers began arriving. ::

(Time later)

:: As the whole required crew was in their posts and after the last checks he signaled the Aurora that they're ready to go. Soon the impulse system moved the ship out of the sector and once they're free from the spatial phenomena they engaged the warp drive towards Farius Prime. ::

Dickens: Here we go...


TBC:

OOC: Ok, this will give you time to end what was going on with all of you and the ship and whenever you're ready to board the Freighter and start the travel. As I said in the OOC I'll be out until sunday evening. Have a good week!

::Eerie turned around and saw the old Brikar heading his way, Eeire  had to
muster all of his self control, but he maintained his composure as he walked
up to Eerie and Treade::


Supervisor Tredd: Well, what do we have here, a  newly minted star fleet
officers? :: The old Brikar was still impressive at 6'6" and towered over
both of the star fleet officers:

::Eerie not forgetting Treade and then to the tall Brikar and turned to the
old security officer, his mentor on Brikar and the officer in charge of
security department 534::

Eerie : Supervisor, This is Ensign Treade, he graduated with me today:: He
was trying to keep it professional, but the supervisor would have little of
it:

Tredd: Ensign Treade, a pleasure to meet you I hope Eerie has not been too
much trouble.

Treade::I pleasure to met you sire, I will leave the two of you to talk::
Treade was very confused, usually Brikars were cold and aloof but this
almost human, but figured he would try to figure it out later :: Eerie, take
care :: With a quick wave he was off and back into the crowd.

::Eeire watched Treade head off into the crowd and turned to Tredd::

Tredd : Eeire, I mean Ensign congrads on your graduation :; He attitude had
changed back to the formal tone he had known for all those years:

Eerie :: Sire, what are you doing here? :: Eerie was very confused but happy
to see his mentor::


:: He motioned Eerie to follow him as he started to walk away from the
crowd, they were heading in the general direction of the dorms, the received
some strange looks from
various starfleet and others that were on the campus that day,  Eerie
saluted appropriately as needed as they  headed toward the garden::

Tredd :: Eerie, what do you have in that box?

Eerie :: Tranya, Sire, a gift


Tredd : I think you can drop the sire......how long have you know me?

Eerie : Always. ::Eerie was confused, while Tredd was his mentor, and knew
Eerie better that anyone else, it appeared that age was starting to affect
him::

Tredd: You are old enough, Eerie, and now a commissioned officer, but you

::Eerie was half listening this conversation as usual, however Blackwood did
not usually speak in hushed tones, so he got most of the conversation while
manning his station, and keeping a particular eye on the force fields for
Deck 8::

Blackwood: There is nothing quite so deplorable as people using religion to
justify their crimes and the taking of innocent lives... It makes me sick to
the core.



Vetri: Can't say I disagree with you, Ensign. That said... it could be
worse.


Blackwood: You think so?


Vetri: Simple. Their beliefs may be abhorrent to pretty much any sane being,
but it *does* justify what they do ? which is better than someone acting
that way simply because it seems like fun. That said, a lot of very horrible
things get done in the name of making the world a better place.


Vetri: At least the Scarlet Brotherhood have a reason for what they do.



Blackwood: And this is a good thing?


Vetri: ::smiling thinly:: Oh, but it *is* a good thing. We know why they act
the way they do, which means we can predict them better. And with that
knowledge comes the ability to herd them all into a nice secluded area -
then carpet-bomb it down to the bedrock.


Blackwood: I suppose... ::mutters:: charming...


Vetri: I never claimed to be a nice person, Evanna. Just someone trying to
make the universe a little brighter before I die. Now, I'd like some ideas
as to how we can give the infiltration team some backup without blowing
their cover. Any thoughts?


Eerie: Sire, I would make sure that any official Federation traffic in the
area is  is not well, is not rerouted, sometimes the lack of something
normal is taken as .....well, make sure we don't.....::Eerie was having
difficulty with those English metaphors :: scare the goose? Sire.

::the sensors picked up the federation long range personnel shuttle, plus
the transponder code immediately, Eerie checked the sensors, the shuttle was
certainly not wasting any time in getting here::



::He checked to personnel roster of the shuttle, it appeared that a doctor
was on board, one that had been on leave for a long time, Eerie wasn?t sure
about the name, he did not think he had met this doctor, of course, sickbay
was one of the last places he liked to go::



oOThose darn biobeds are soooo soft. Glad he did not have to spend any more
time in there than I have too



::Eerie cleared the shuttle for the approach and then notified the
transporter room to be prepared to communicate with the shuttle::



((Fast Forward))



::Eerie checked the readouts, the shuttle had made a swing around the Orion
Freighter, and then came to a stop, that then the transporter locked on a
passenger, and a few minutes later a human male in medical garb bounced from
turbo lift and straight to the captain.::



::His  rank showed that he was a LT. Cmdr, as Eeire scanned  the doctor?s
file, it wasn?t the personnel file, but a brief summary of the doctor,
something was strange he was listed in the Science Department at one time::




oOWell, you know Starfleet records, we have a Klingon as our  head Marine
detachment, now  a new doctor, with a new baby on board, this might be a
good thing, and of course, and  the way Blackwood gets injured all the time,
 it might helpOo

Barnes: Captain. Marcus. The supplies are on board that piece of junk
the Orion's called a ship. It will take ages to get that smell out.

Dickens: I think I could deal with that.

Barnes::Rubbing his ear, Barnes shook his head.:: How these Bajoran's can wear these stupid earrings is beyond me. Anyway, I'll get some weapons shipped over and await your arrival.

Dickens: We better use the Brotherhood weapons to improve our impersonation and leave our weapons hidden, as a last resort.

( Present time )

:: As Marcus was reviewing the data they've managed to gather he also began to familiarize with the Bajoran language and read the available reports on the different attacks the Brotherhood had been involved trying to get a psicological profile common to all of them. He also read reports about the Pah Wraiths and the connection with the Bajoran Wormhole and Bajoran culture. He caught Tali as she spoke to the crew.

Tali: If I make too many improvements to the "Rust Bucket" it would surely give us away.

Dickens: If you want my opinion, you should do what you can with the materials you have available on the ship. The less Federation technology we use, the better.

::Moving to the side to allow the First officer the main seat, taking
the short stride to the 'tactical' console Barnes shook his head.

Barnes: Anyone got any sticks and stones handy?

Dickens: No, but you can go outside and pick up some meteor rocks if you wish. I don't foresee any problem before arriving to Farius Prime, once there it'll be up to us to find their contact. Something in the logs should point to a place to head on and maybe a contact. However reading the fanatism they are prone to, it's probable that they just had a contact and no direct relationship. Fanatic and terrorist cells tend to be untrustful even of themselves.

Anyone: Response

Dickens: I suggest we become familiar with Bajoran language, if not entirely at least basically and work related. 

Anyone: Response

Dickens: The report provided by Commander T'Lea along with the others that we've gathered should give us an insight on this group. Review them the best that you can. We have some days and for what I've read our best chance will be to start in the Maltabra City. You'll see a lot of poverty and there could be fights and crimes, but remember that our task is gather information and not bring peace there, :: as he saw some of their faces he added a last word to increase their mood :: ... yet.

Anyone: Response

:: The ship continued it's travel followed by the Aurora that was keeping the distance to not be directly related with long range sensors. Marcus was trying to made up his made with one of a religious fanatic. ::

 | ( Rust Bucket )

IC:

:: As he was reviewing some bajoran lexic a doctor approached. He recognized him as one of the new doctors that they picked up on SB23 ::

O'Hanlon: Sir, I know it is short noticed. But, I've been assigned to join the crew on the away mission as a medic.
 
Dickens: :: He looked at O'Hanlon standing and looking around :: Relax yourself, we're all a group of Bajoran fanatics, so leave the protocol behind along with the uniforms. What have you brought with you?
 
O'Hanlon: I brought with me a medi-kit with some supplies, sir. I wasn't sure what I should bring from the sickbay that wouldn't be too advanced?
 
Dickens: Ok, you better find a good place to hide this except the basic. Oh, and if someone asks you about why you're having something Federation related, you better remember that it's from a good Orion seller.
 
O'Hanlon: Yes, sir. I'll make my way to my station, so I can get? settled. 
 
Dickens: Good thought, and you'll do well in getting up to date on Bajoran phisiology, just in case.
 
::Chris made his way over to the station. He took in a deep breath while he looked at the console in front of him. Obviously the ensign was anxious, but Marcus could sense him focused on doing things right and he was quite confident that he could do it. ::
 
:: Just then Tali arrived with something in her mind. ::

Tali: Ahem... I've bumped into something of interest below decks.

Gray: What do you have there?

::Elya turned the reader around so Gray could see it and skimmed
through for him.::

Tali: Some sort of plans for inciting chaos around Federations borders
after a disaster.

Gray: Interesting find, what are your thoughts?

Tali: Presumably this "disaster" was not intended to be naturally occurring...

Gray: Right.

Tali: There is no further information on the device. It is
malfunctioning. Someone attempted to wipe it before discarding it, but
the damage left this one document intact.

Gray: Plan of action?

:: He thought for a moment about the implications of what Tali had brought to them. ::

Dickens: It's obvious that this is a large scale operation.

Anyone: Response

Dickens: First they cause damage and casualties to instigate people's fear, as well as show a poor image of Starfleet. Then, if this is right, they through a propaganda campaign probably followed by other attacks. This could lead to some people to try to flee Federation or even worlds to think twice on joining us.

Anyone: Response

Dickens: This only shows how important our mission is and that we must acquire as much information as we can of the Brotherhood cell on Farius prime and if we can, know what'll be their next objective.

Anyone: Response

Dickens: In fact, our delay could be used in our favour. We've faced a Federation scout that tried to stop us but we managed to either evade or stop it and escape. After that we have been playing cat and mouse until we lost them and returned to our path here. Remember, fanatic thinking.

 | ::Eerie studied the file on the planet and the Brotherhood, it looked like a
pirates dream, a place were almost anything goes for a price and the
government what there was on one did not care too much as long as you stayed
out of there business, Blackwood shot Eerie a look as he looked up from
reading the reports.::


Blackwood: Turn up anything of note yet Eerie?



Eerie:Does not look like I will planning my next leave, there Ensign.::It
was so deadpan, of course Eerie didn't not that's how it came over:



Blackwood: ::Rolling her eyes:: Riiiight....



Eerie: Cloak and Dagger,... stuff  is not exactly my strong point, I like to
tackle a problem straight on, Ensign.

oO Hope I got that expression right Oo


Blackwood: Wells it's food for thought no?

 ::Sometimes, double negatives threw Eerie for a loop, while he was well
versed in standard Federation, english the puns still could cause
a problem::

Eerie: Ensign, what is your solution to the problem?


Blackwood: ::Sharply:: SHHHH!!! ...thinking...

 oO(Eerie) She brings up to conversation and then when you ask her a
question, she .....I don't know what to do with this one, I could.....no
you would regret that Oo



::Blackwood shook her head::



Blackwood: ::muttering to self:: Curses...




 ::Eerie wasn't sure if the conversation was over or not, he looked at his
console, and then back at Blackwood, she was thinking about something that
she stared at him in one of those wide, eyed, strange stares that Blackwood
was famous for::

oO Human females, are a strange lot, but this one takes the ......cake, that
is it, got itOo


Blackwood: ::snappy:: Whatchoo staring at?



Eerie : Hmm.....nothing?


oO I guess it is the end of the conversation, guess I will reread the file
and perhaps find something that I missedOo

::A few minutes later, Eerie shot a look over to Blackwood, she was reading
something and she did not see all that happy about it, But he had been shot
down once, and it appeared to be of a personal nature::

oO I 'll leave well enough alone,  what is that other one..... let sleeping
squirrels rest?, that isn't itOo

 | ((Lounge))

::DeBarres what sitting next to the window watching the stars go by, the
room was empty, and she was enjoying a break after completing her work in
the forward phaser control room, as much as it pained her, she knew that
living statue would check up on her::

::She took a long moment, and then reached for the cup of hot chocolate, at
least on a starship the replicators worked most of the time, looking out at
the starfield.::

oO How many hours before my shift is over,  at least my duty log is pretty
easy today,  I could stop by and see if that new medical doctor is around,,
 hmmm,.... better not don?t want to be too obvious ?..guess I better not. Oo

:: Peiy put down her PADD and stretched, she was feeling a bit lethargic
after all the reading she?d been doing. Hopping off the sofa she bounced off
the sofa and headed to the lounge in search of social stimulation. It was
her free time and she wasn?t needed on the bridge to relieve Eerie for some
time. ::

Peiy: Hi crewman...

:: She wasn?t that familiar with the woman but it seemed as though she was
always in the  lounge. Probably on a tea break... ::

DeBarres: Hello, Ensign.

Peiy: So how are you today?

DeBarres:It is a wonderful day, and the everything is fine, :: But she
didn?t sound real convinced :

Peiy: Interesting.

:: Peiy replicated a Bolian Bohana, a refreshing cool drink and sat down
with the crewman. ::

Peiy: I heard one of the security officers had a spot of trouble with their
identity being hacked... think we should do an inventory of the armory? Make
sure everything is in order? Would look pretty bad if someone got in there
too and helped themselves...

DeBarres: That would be horrible :: Hoping that no one found out that it was
her who was feeding that cute dog Rex::

oO I will have to play it quiet for a time being with the dog, but it she
knew I would probably be in the brigOo

DeBarres:So  Ensign, how are things going?, I just finished with those
upgrades that ?.Lt. Eeire wanted., what do you think of it, I mean him?
::There was  dry ness in her voice as she said Eerie::

:: Peiy could tell by the tone of voice that DeBarres wasn?t exactly a big
fan of the Brikar, the question was why. She fiddled the straw round in the
glass thinking how best to play it. ::

Peiy: ::Sliding up and getting pally with the crewman:: Well we work
opposite shifts, so aside from the handovers we don?t talk. Why? Something
got your back up?

::Peiy smiled gently and tipped her head hoping DeBarres would spill the
beans.::

::DeBarres thought about this for a while:

oO(DeBarres) Eerie has no friends on board that I am aware of, but play this
cool, she is an OFFICER!Oo


DeBarres: Well, what can I say he much like a.......stick in the mud,
formal,   and thank goodness    they don?t put junior officers like that in
charge of the bridge.

:: Peiy could tell she was holding back, but it never paid to push things to
far, a level of trust had to be established first. ::

Peiy: Whats wrong with working the bridge? It?s by far the best part of the
job. Don?t you fancy getting some bridge time?


::A big sigh, and then she looked straight at the Bolian. ::

DeBarres:  I guess....not, I did so many long hours on that  freighter, when
I was a kid, that bridge was just a small room, not much fun.


:: Peiy scratched the back of her head, it was amazing the way StarFleet was
staffed with so many people with such varied opinions and work ethics. This
DeBarres was quite unlike anyone she had met before. She noted the woman?s
work uniform and as much as she enjoyed the conversation she didn?t want to
keep the woman from her duties if she was still on shift. ::

Peiy: Are you on duty just now? Just don?t want to be holding you back if
you have things to do....places to be...

DeBarres: Ensign, I was  just taking a break from this long list of things
that Eerie cooked up to keep me busy...::Changing topics, rapidly and her
voice brightened::... I have a new pair of ?they called them.... jeans quite
popular in the 20th century I can?t wait to try them,

Peiy: ::Smiling:: Oh cool, they sound great...and it?s just Peiy when I am
off duty and in my civvies.

DeBarres: I guess I need to get back to duty, Peiy. ::Heavy sighs, and a
black cloud seemed to appear over her mood::

Peiy: ::Laughing:: Honestly cheeer up! What did you think I was going to do?
Bust your chops or something?

DeBarres: I don?t know, this is so different from the freighter. Don?t get
me wrong, but with Barnes gone, I have the rock man,  like a mill stone
around my neck...who is about as  ?.I should keep quiet...

:: Making one last attempt to dig up some dirt. ::

Peiy: Eerie got much more lined up for you for the rest of your shift then?

DeBarres: Oh, I got to run checks on the deflector system, that were fine
yesterday, and the day before...borrrrring.......

:: Non-verbally encouraging her to continue. ::

DeBarres: He has no personality, the ships computer is more interesting.

:: Peiy could understand why the woman felt like that, though she actually
rather like Eerie herself. Peiy felt Eerie was a good guy and that he would
be a great friend, but you had to be prepared to dig him out his cave first.
Nevertheless she felt she was starting to build a bond with the woman and
thought she was one to keep an eye on. Perhaps she was a diamond in the
rough but if she was someone who needed whip cracking that could be arranged
too. She thought about pressing the issue but decided it might be better to
pursue in a less formal setting. ::

Peiy: Look I generally have the Black shift, so I?ll be around. Next time
you?re free why not give me a yell. We can kick back, have a few laughs...

:: Peiy fiddled with her sleeves hoping the offer wasn?t about to bounce
back in her face. ::

::DeBarres who was talking like she was in a funeral  about work  suddenly
 brightened and like a supernova had just gone off, a huge smile enveloped
her face::

DeBarres: OH! That would be so much fun, and I have some great ideas about
clothes that would great with your skin! I?ll wear those new jeans if I can
fit into them....::There was a small giggle, and she started to play with
hair:

DeBarres:: See you later! :: She bounced up and headed out the door::




:: Peiy grinned and waited for the woman to leave before she returned to her
quarters feeling refreshed and ready to check over her report before sending
it up to Eerie. Peiy had a feeling that she was going to like this woman
after all!::

oO (Peiy) I wonder how Eerie is doing on the bridge... I hope he is
impressed by my report. Can?t wait to get his feedback and see if we can
isolate the issue before it becomes a major problem. Oo

:: Looking at her report on the torpedo launchers... she felt the loading
and firing sequences had become a bit sluggish and there was an unusual
noise and vibration near the tubes, she had run a few diagnostics but
 hadn?t been able to pinpoint the source of the problem. She was extremely
concerned about keeping their weapons systems sharp and efficient and took
great pride in any improvements they could gain over the ?textbook stats?.
She sent to report to the tactical console, wondering what the chunkadunk
would make of it all. ::

support the Orion  frieghter other that the one that had been proposed, he
knew that he was to be relieved soon, and he was looking forward to  some
good food in their quarters, hopefully Blackwood had something else to do::

::Eerie heard the sound of the turbolift doors open, if it was anyone it
would be Ensign Peiy, she was always on time, unlike that crewman DeBarres,
at least Blackwood was on time for her shifts. or at least as far as he
knew::

:: Peiy swept onto the bridge in a flurry, it was her favourite part of the
day again and she was especially cheery today. Speaking quickly in an
excited tone that was perhaps a tad too loud. ::


Peiy: Hi Lieutenant!


::Turning to the Ensign::

Eerie: Ensign,  always on time, excellent, ?.what is going on?

:: Peiy took that as a personal enquiry, even though it probably wasn?t...::

Peiy: I?m great thanks sir. Bumped into one of our crewman today down in the
lounge, she seemed a bit down in the dumps at first...

Eerie: Who was it, Ensign?

Peiy: Ummm, short brown hair? ::thinking:: BeDarres?

Eerie: Yea, that specialist, what is the problem?

Peiy: Yeah that was it. Sorry. Not always so good with remembering names...
problem?

:: Scratching her head and thinking for a moment. ::

Peiy: Well I haven?t got to the bottom of it yet. It?s a work in progress.
Whatever is going on...
oO If there is something going on..Oo ? I think I can turn it around. oO
Eventually. Maybe. Oo

Eerie: Ensign, if you could keep an eye on her also, she don?t seem to do
much work, what she does is good, but not very timely...

Peiy: ::frowning:: She does seem to be IN the lounge a lot... I will see
what I can do.

Eerie: Hmmm......she seems to live there.


Eerie: Now lets get to something more tangible, and fixable, Ensign, the
Torpedoes.

:: Her cheeks flushed a deeper blue-purple as she  realised the Lieutenant
was more interested in getting down to business than socialising. ::

Peiy: Oh... sorry sir. ::Twisting side-to-side on her toes:: Did you get my
report?


Eerie: Yes, and it is an excellent report, I did have an idea,  we got an
upgrade at Starbase 23, if you can check the specs, perhaps we have missed
an upgrade, or something wasn?t simmed properly for the Nova class starship.
If you could check that out  I would appreciate it.


Peiy: ::Beaming with pride:: Yes sir, I'd be delighted. Thanks for the
pointers. I can work on that from here and try get it fixed before your next
shift.


Eerie: Thank you, Ensign ,I feel that tactical station will be in good
hands, of course call me if there are any problems.


Peiy: Does that include security concerns? What with the Commander and our
most senior security officers being away at the moment...


Eerie: It is a lot to do, Ensign, but we if you can manage it, it would be
appreciated.



Eerie :: The tactical station is yours, I will relieve you after some
food and shut eye, Ensign, carry

on.





:: Eerie left the bridge and Peiy immediately got to work with those
suggestions, hoping to find

the root cause of the problem before he got back from his rest.::

Peiy: =^=I am sorry to disturb you sir, I don't do it lightly.=^=

 ::Eerie was now up, the cobwebs had vanished and he was starting to
process::

Eerie:=^=Of course, Ensign, what is the concern?=^= ::Eerie's voice was the
same tone  as usual::



Peiy:=^= There is a disturbance on deck 7, engineering office. Security
officers are thin on the ground at the moment.=^=

 oOI hope it is not those darn Brotherhood types again, I have had it up to
here with themOo

Eerie: =^=Ensign, first, internal sensors, who do we have down there, cross
reference with comm badges, and then who shouldn't be there, alert the
captain, and ....::He wasn't absolutely sure but he was going to error on
the side of caution::...transfer engineering controls to the bridge, I want
a lock down of all their controls, I'm heading down there,  keep me
informed=^=:

 ::Get his boots on, he adjusted his anti gravity unit and placed it in his
boot,  he went for his drawers, and found what he was looking for under some
clothes, a brikar tricorder, and phaser, both fit his hands perfectly::

Peiy: I can go down and take a look if you want sir.



Eerie: =^=Ensign, I need you up there, If there are any of the Marines
around, oO Do I really want to call in the jar heads? :: Alert them, and any
security to report to me, and prepare containment force fields around the
entire engineering department=^=



Peiy: There is no need to trouble yourself sir. I am sure it is nothing, but
such calls are unusual...



Eerie: Ensign, we will error on the side of caution, you have a lot to do,
keep things under control up there, you will have a lot to do with all those
items::



Peiy: I understand sir.

Eerie :=^= Contact me with information as it comes in, you can feed me
information on my personal tricorder, you will find the  access information
in my file =^=





:: Eerie left the quarters, he was still in his jumper, but no one would
mistake him for what he was now, a Brikar on a mission::

Corsetto: Nice shot, though.





Eerie: You to , LT. Corsetto. ::Turning he head to the Orion woman::




:: Discarding the "shield" with a bang she lumbered to her feet. Brushing
dust from her clothes she realised she'd torn her uniform slightly in a
couple of places in the struggle. Other than a few bangs everything seemed
to be in order, she looked round for Neth and Landau desperate to check
their status, saw Eerie approaching. ::







oO Bet he has come to rub it in my face or something... Oo




Eerie :: Secure that Bajorian in the brig, and do a complete sweep of the
area, and Blackwood .....are you OK? ::His voice had grow a bit softer::




 :: Blackwood was pretty surprised, she'd imagined he'd be more concerned
about the officer who had sustained injuries than his "sparring partner."
She looked at him suspiciously as if searching for some sign of insincerity
or a joke.::




Blackwood : Tougher than I look big guy...







Eerie: I was concerned, that ?? I am glad you are OK, Ensign, I better check
on the Neth and Laudau.







Blackwood: Good job Buster!



::Eerie wasn?t sure on what to do, he so nodded to Blackwood, and started to
make sure that Neth and Laudau was receiving the treatment from the medical
staff and making sure that everything was being taken care of::





Blackwood: Shame about the reaction time.





Corsetto: If there's some kind of explanation about what's going on around
here, I'd appreciate it.







Blackwood: This fool ::pointing at the Bajoran:: was posing as Gilaars...
she was trying to recover some technology though what she thought she was
going to do after is anyones guess...







Anyone: any?







:: Blackwood's approach to Neth was cut off by medical officers. She asked
to be informed of his status as they took him away, then turned to Landau.
::







Blackwood: ::wiping a brow:: Phew. Intense... How you holding up?







Landau:







Blackwood: That looks pretty bad...







Landau:







:: A medical officer approached the ensign so Blackwood backed off to give
them some room. ::







Blackwood: If you can't make the meeting let me know. I can reshedule easy
cheesy...







Landau:









Eerie =^= Eerie to Bridge, a Bajorian , it appears a woman was trying to
pass as Gilaars, tried to take hostages to get some technology they left,  we
have two wounded officers, but I think they will be OK, Captain.

hopefully we will get some more details after we get things sorted out =^=

::DeBarres checked the time on the computer, and then the position of the
Aurora as it entered the area of Farius Prime. When she was on her father?s
freighter, she was never allowed to be off of the ship without an escort on
Farius Prime, or either of their moons::



oO I wish it was time, waiting for Peiy and York to get off duty, is going
to kill meOo



::As she looked at the monitor again by her bed,  the position of the ship
had changed very slightly.  She had already pulled out the clothing that she
wanted them to try on, and was neatly stuffed in two large bags, ready for
the fashion party that was to take place. Her new pair of jeans  were laying
neatly folded  on the end of her bed::

oO I will wear my bright yellow top, it will highlight my hair,?. no jewelry
it will just get in the way of changing outfits Oo



::With her father and brother they had tramped all over Federation space and
sometimes beyond,  now that her father was retired and her brother running
the business, she was unsure on what do next, joining star fleet seems like
something to do until she knew her place in the grand scheme of things. She
had tried and failed to gain admission to the academy twice, her  test
grades were fine, but there was something the admitting officer , said that
was missing, but she would have to find out for herself. Then he suggested
that some time as crew member might help, DeBarres was not so sure, she knew
she could the job, but that sometime had alluded her ::



::She looked at the report about what had gone on in Engineering office, and
she shuttered about the time that Orions had boarded the ship::



oOTime to think about some fun, the fashion party???It is going to be
blast?, I can?t wait for the page from Peiy to let me know that she is
ready, ?..should I get that other top?, perhaps Penny would like to give it
a tryOo

::She felt a small yawn, and decided that nap would help and make the time
go faster::

Debarres :Computer off, set lights to zero and wait me in 60 minutes

::She stretched out on the bed, and dozed off to sleep::

::Eerie checked the tactical display, not much if anything had changed, but
he continued to review the data for the coming operations, most of it
involved the science department and that was fine with that, and he was
hoping that it would work::



oO Got to prepare if something goes wrong, and prepare for the worstOo



::Eerie spent some time reviewing the ships that would come and go from the
system, and Eerie was quite sure that they could handle any one or two of
them that was their size or even a bit bigger, but the problem was the they
were still a small ship, and could be overwhelmed if they were set upon by a
lot of ships, DS9 was close by but if they got into trouble it could be over
before any help arrives, but that was usually the case::



Eerie : Computer, identify &amp; display  known warp capable ships types  known
to visit Farius Prime at least 4 times during a standard star year, also any
ships organic to the region, cross reference with Star Fleet records.



Computer: Working??



::On his screen was a listing of ships types that met his specifications,
Eerie looked at the array of ships and their specifications, almost all of
them he had recognized from his own research, but there were a few
additions, but nothing out of the ordinary::



oO If we have to storm in there to save the away team, we can probably get
in there, but getting out will be the problem?.we will have to do a
transport on the fly and get out of ?.there or what was that the instructor
said once?..dodge?. that is the term, terrains had so many slang terms, Oo

::Eerie scrolled the data, there was a lot to go over the data, but he would
take a look at it::



Eerie:=^= Ensign Peiy =^=



Peiy : Response



Eerie: =^= Can you tie into my display for a minute?=^=



Peiy:



Eerie =^= I am working on a plan to get us out of the system, and we need to
be familiar with as many of this ships here as possible, and if we have to
enter the system for a rescue, it will probably be hot, Ensign.=^=



Peiy:



 Eerie=^= If you could review the data, and give my your opinions we can
work on plan =^=

she didn't have any evidence, with a good percent of the crew on the

Just the basics, for now.

in or out of the system if needed, we might be able to use one or both of
the moons for cover, but it is going to be hot ride, if we need to entire

systems. =/\=



DeBarres: Sir, Is there a problem : She had just taken care of one "issue"
and was taking a break.



Peiy: =/\= Just check there are no issues and make sure they are working at
peak efficiency. There is a possibility that they'll be needed, so we need
to know we can rely on them if pushed. =/\=



DeBarres:::Sighing:: Yes. (dryly)



Peiy: =/\= Let me know the results when you are finished up down there. I
will be at the security centre on Deck 3 reviewing some data for Lieutenant
Eerie. =/\=



DeBarres: OK.





Peiy: =/\= Ensign Peiy to Lieutenent Eerie. =/\=

 ((Bridge))

Eerie: =^=Eerie, here, go ahead Ensign=^=



Peiy: =/\= I have been looking at the data you sent me. I've sent you the
suggested configurations to optimize the shields against the known weaponry
we'll be facing. You can see the sim results as well, it's not great... but
right now it's the best I can come up with.  Do you have any other
suggestions? =/\=



::Eerie pulled up the data and took a minute to take a quick look at the
data, it was huge with all the different ship types and modifications ::

Eerie: =^=Perhaps, we can have the computer input-ed for deflector control,
it is too much data for any one person to try to memorize and made
modifications in the heat of battle.=^=



:: Peiy inputed the instructions into the console and ran the sim, the
readouts were much more favorable to them. She saved the configuration for
easy access and sent back the new version for Eerie. She made a mental note
to check on DeBarres shortly if she hadn't heard from her as time was of
the essence - today was not a day for her to stall and put back the work.
Then again, as far as Peiy was concerned there was never any time for
stalling anyway... ::



Peiy: =/\= Very good sir, that helps a lot but I still don't feel entirely
comfortable with the situation... =/\=



Eerie:=^= I am not happy with computer control, but this is probably best,
but we will be prepared to hand it manually if needed, Peiy=^=



Peiy: =/\= Well I can't think of any way to get better results, I think it
is the best we can do unless we can improve the hardware capabilities...
=/\=



Eerie:=^= Agreed, but we don't have a space dock to do it=^=



Peiy: =/\= Sounds like a plan sir.



Eerie:=^= Any other thoughts, Ensign I would be happy to hear them=^=



:: A thought occurred to her just as she was about to wrap up the
conversation and carry out her new orders. ::



Peiy: =/\= Have you checked with the helmsman? Certain factions in the area
use specific tactics. I am thinking it would good to make sure our helmsman
is prepared so he would have a better idea of what he is likely to be
facing. Might help him dodge any incoming fire as he heads to or from our
target location... =/\=



Eerie:=^= I have thought about it, but haven't talked with helm, but yes, we
should, I see you are scheduled to go off duty, take a good rest Ensign=^=

 | ((Corridor near Ensign York?s &amp; Peiy?s quarters))

::Charlotte raced down the corridor, she was trying to move fast but the two
bags stuffed full of clothes were impeding her progress. Not to mention the
tight jeans which she had fit into, she was also wearing a yellow blouse ::

::She found the Peiy quarters and buzzed the door::

:: The door opened, and Peiy was standing in front of her::

DeBarres: So Sorry I am late, but I just had to get a few more things ... I
think you are going to look absolutely great! Ensign, ,.:: Turning to
York::.Ensign, York what a cute outfit, while you are not my size I think
with me help we can do great things, and that beautiful hair,....
Thankfully, what doesn?t fit we can use the replicate, but if you ever want
a tailor made outfit, I know this great tailor, he is the best!, and I know
absolutely everyone, and can get almost anything outside of a few weapons
systems. :: It was like a machine gun as the words flew out of her mouth::

:: Still trying to process the flurry of words and what DeBarres meant by
weapons systems clothing, Penny simply smiled and nodded. DeBarres was more
Peiy?s friend than Penny?s, not that she didn?t like DeBarres, it?s just
that she didn?t know her very well. Penny had supposed that since she and
Peiy were roommates she?d kinda got invited to the party by circumstance,
not choice, which made her a little uncomfortable. But it was nothing that
booze couldn?t fix.::

Peiy : ::giggling hard:: Good to see you in such high spirits. Come on in,
make yourself comfortable, we don?t stand on ceremony in these quarters.

DeBarres: Excellent, and absolutely no talk about work, except about the
men.

York: And only the cute ones.

oO (York)Nobody laughed? dumb joke.Oo

:: Was it even a joke at all? Penny had thought it was, and right about now
she was missing Evanna?s jokes about how everybody was ?cute? to Penny.::

:: Shifting uncomfortably in her seat, Penny gave a shy little grin at her
smurf blue roommate, and tried to ignore how lame her previous comment was.
Maybe they hadn?t notice. Maybe she was making a big deal out of nothing. So
she hoped.::

::DeBarres making a bee line to the replicator, and punching in a few
buttons and three glasses appeared, DeBarres grabbed them as she dropped the
bags of clothing and went over to the table, only to realize that she forgot
something and raced back to one of the over stuffed bags and started to dig
through it, clothes came flying out of the bag then she a bottle taking it
to the table she quickly poured the three short glasses with a blue liquid::

DeBarres:: We are not starFleet tonight, right? ::Looking around at York and
Peiy, at bit
Peiy: ::smiling broadly:: Tonight we are just 3 friends having a few drinks
and laughs.nervously::

York: I?ll drink to that, and probably a whole lot more after two glasses of
::squinting at the blue liquid in the bottle::? whatever that is? it?s
pretty.

DeBarres:: GREAT! ::a tiny giggle started, and a broad smile reappeared::
Bottoms up to get the show on the road!

::DeBarres handed a glass full of the blue liquid to both Peiy and York, and
then took the remaining glass and hoisted up in the air::

DeBarres :: To friends and fashion! ::Looking at Peiy and York, and she took
a quick drink of the blue liquid :: The best is the alpha quadrant!

::Peiy raised her own glass in agreement before taking a sip, and
Penny cautiously
sniffed her drink, before downing two long gulps.::::

DeBarres : I know a trader who gets the BEST Romulan ale, hehe:

Peiy: HAH! I bet. What is it with everyone and Romulan Ale anyway?
::giggling:: You have to try some Bolian S?rat-an, honestly it?s miles
better.
York: I?ll try anything once.

DeBarres: I will would love to try it, Ok you get the drinks next
time::Nodding to Penny::

DeBarres::Taking another sip of the blue liquid: OK, Peiy you are first, go
and I have a lot for you to try on, I had this make for you and tell me what
you think ::

Peiy: Oh wow... how did you even carry all of that anyway?
:: Penny raised her eyebrows in agreement. The mountain of clothes that
DeBarres had brought with her was? impressive. Just how much did Tactical
officers get paid, wondered Penny behind her glass.::

DeBarres : When there is a will there is a way, honey, and I had a will!

::DeBarres grabbed Peiy by the hand and took her over to one of the bags of
clothes, and started to pull out items for the Ensign. Penny watched quietly
and drank, not wanting to interfere with the two tactical officers who
seemed to be better friends than she was with either of them.::

Peiy: Hmm so much choice... I hardly know where to begin.


DeBarres :: With your complexion, I think these colors would be
great,::Showing Peiy a few different outfits:: but of course you have to
like it, but feel free, we can always go the the replicator and the
computer.

:: Blinking down at her half empty glass, Penny looked disgusted with it.::

York: Blah! This stuff is great! ::sip:: It?s a really great color too.
Blue?s my favorite -- oO don?t say color your roommate will think you?re
flirting with her.Oo --word.

oO (York) And now they?re looking at you like you?re an idiot. Drink and
shut up. Oo

:: Tipping back her glass, Penny did just that, sipping herself silly and
hoping that the other two women would just ignore her. Peiy had to restrain
herself from diving right into the magnificent pile of clothes. She loved it
all and wanted to try them all on... simultaneously! Picking two especially
nice dresses she hummed and fretted over which to choose first. ::


Peiy: ::Holding up two dresses, looking at Penny with a wide smile::
Thoughts?

York: Uuuhh?

oO (York) Stop making that noise and say something intelligent! Oo

York: The one with the scooped back, that?s an eye catcher. But the other
one would accentuate your ?front? more. Oh, heck, it?s free try?em both on.

Peiy: ::Wearing a big grin, chuckling:: Yeah good point!

oO(Peiy) Penny is great, I love her style. She is so unique and funky, I
scored big when I got this bunk. Oo

:: Peiy went to change and came bounding back in with a hop and a twirl. She
nearly tripped over the sea of clothes bursting out all over the room, but
recovered and hoped no one spotted the mistake. They?d think she was drunk
already and she?d barely got started! ::

Peiy: Tada! ::excitedly and rapidly:: What do you think? What do you think?

York: Yeppers. That?s the one. A tactical knock out. ::laughing she sipped
her drink:: Definitely.

DeBarres : Great choice, I think it is great!

:: Peiy considered their remarks as she browsed some of the other excellent
choices. ::

Peiy: ::cheerily:: Okay Penny, it?s YOUR turn. Pick something real fabby!

York: Me? Nah. I?m having fun watching you guys.

oO (York) And now you sound like a creepy voyeur. Oo

DeBarres : Yea, Penny, with that great blond hair, and cute figure, it looks
like I have some tough competition from both of you! : She took another sip
of the ale and started an playing with her hair, beaming at Penny, the she
went over to Penny and grabbed her by the hand and guided her over to the
pile of clothing. Penny was a bit wobbly on her feet, but came along
willingly:

:: This was the first time Penny had ever had Romulan Ale and it was doing a
wonderful job of getting her drunk at warp speed. She got up and stumbled
around a pile of clothes, careful not to spill a drop of that precious blue
liquid in her glass, for it belonged in her tummy.::

DeBarres : You will look great in almost anything!: Smiling, she started to
dig through the seemingless endless pile of clothes, and started to pull out
items and handing them to Penny::

York: Oh, getting rained on with fabric-like hail.

:: She giggled and picked over a few of the garments that flew in her
direction.::


Peiy: Just take them all Penny, they will all look good. It doesn?t matter
if they don?t fir right, you could make a plastic bag look great.


Debarres :: Penny if there is anything that you like, I have the replicator
codes, and we can take your scans and get anything you like in any color, I
wish I could design something better that this drab uniforms.....:: She
quickly put her hands over her mouth and looked shocked::

::Debarres paused for a couple of seconds, the started to laugh::

DeBarres: I broke my own rule!::laughing:: No talk about work!:: She almost
doubled over in laughter, before regaining herself, but still giggling::

York: Well, hello. What have we got here? You want me to wear you, don?t
you? Yes, you do. Be right back!

:: Jumping up with her prize, a little red dress, Penny dashed into her
room, but not before slamming a shoulder into the door jam, spinning around,
and bouncing off the other side of the threshold. It took a little longer
than usual for her to put the dress on, mostly because it wasn?t her size
and looked more like a nightgown than a dress.::

York: Here I am! I conquered it with science.

:: Exiting, Penny did a little twirl and fell into a chair, still wearing
her jeans and white socks underneath the dress.::

Peiy: :: giggling:: Well... the STYLE fits perfectly anyway.

York: Either I?m a little too small for the dress, or the dress is trying to
get away from me. But the more you guys drink the better it will fit me, so
snap to it!

:: She held out her empty glass for a refill as the bottle made it around.::

Debarres:: Here you go, but not too much, my cute bar slug.

York: More. Pour more. Tippy-top. Okay that?s good.

:: She took a sip and gave a good long ?MMmmm??::

York: What?s in this stuff? It?s like liquefied yum. Oooh! Fun question. If
you were stranded on a dessert? No, that?s not right. On a desert island
who?s the cutest guy on the ship? Wait. That?s not right either. Oh, you
know what I mean.

down, kicked off her shoes, crossed her legs, and with her free hand pulled
the blouse out of the jeans, to hang loosely. The Romulan ale was taking its
effects on her, but she was not drunk yet, years of practice on the

scruffy look! and he is so rugged looking....... But then there is Ensign
Rathbone, he is the one that ::blushing:: well......, he is one one I would
take home to oO Keep it clean Oo?...........dad.::Heavy sighs, looking her
drink, and taking the rest of quick gulp, but it was almost too much ale at
one time, as she felt it hit her, but the cobwebs passed quickly::

York: Aww? that?s nice. ::dipping her finger in her drink she gave it a
swirl:: Barnesy?s like one of those cowboys in the old cigarette
commercials. Marble Man? I think that?s the one. He?s too old for me though.
Have you seen Cmdr. Locke? He?s back. He?s dreamy. He?s out of my league
though. ::to Peiy:: What about you, blue? ::giggling to herself:: That
rhymed.

Debarres: If you want someone, you go for him, and ? you go for him girl!
::Raising a empty glass::

oO Marble man? I hope she isn?t talking about old stone face himself Oo

Peiy: Gah! ::Pulling a silly scrunchie face and diverting the question.::
Umm anyone else registering on your ?cute scale? Penny?

York: ::shyly:: Nope. Nobody else registers on my cute scale. You?re turn.

:: Penny was never good at lying when she was sober, less so when drunk.::


Peiy: Mhmm? Who are you trying to fool. Come on dish it...

DeBarres : Come on girlie, there is got to be someone else?



York: I don?t wanna say! You work with him.

:: She covered her mouth with her free hand and her eyes when wide.::

Peiy: Oh! ::excitedly:: Got a couple of tac fans here do we? Come ooooon.
::puppy eyes::

York: No. I?m not telling. You?ll say something and then I?ll be all
::sticks out tongue indicating death:: And he?d be all? eeew, she?s geeky.

Peiy: ::tutting:: Is it..... Lesley... or.... I?ka. Hah, I know! It?s Eerie
isn?t it. ::singing::Penny loves Eerie...

York: Hey, I never said I was in love with Eerie- No! Forget I said that
name!

::DeBarres was shocked, and her mouth flew open then she dropped the glass
on the floor, luckily it was empty, she leaded over and in a not too
gracefully maneuver, she grabbed the glass from the floor. Peiy was shocked
too but tried not to show it, quickly shutting her wide open mouth. She had
intended it as a joke and never imagined she?d hit the mark with that
throwaway comment. ::

:: Penny slumped down on a pillow and hung her head in shame.::

York: I?m too drunk for this. ::giggling:: He?s like a big pet rock, okay?
 A little craggy in places, but cute. That?s all. Not love! Just cute.
Besides, he?s not interested in me. Or anyone that could possibly be
squished, for that matter.

DeBarres :Well, that eliminates the entire crew......::giggling and falling
back on the bed in delight::

:: Peiy sipped her drink and chuckled quietly to herself. Charlotte and
Penny were so much fun, she couldn?t remember having had such a fun time
since starting on the Aurora. ::

DeBarres : I haven?t had this much fun in a long time::putting her hands
over her eyes and almost hitting herself with the glass, giggling, and
getting up from the bed back to the sitting position:: OK, Penny your
secrets are safe with me, we still have to hear from your roomie,
Peiy....you are now front and center.

Peiy: Oh nooooo. No no no no no! ::Chuckling::

DeBarres : Come on, Peiy!

Peiy: Honestly most of the crew aren?t.... to my taste... oODarn that sounds
really bad...Oo

York:  Really?  You go around licking random crewmen?  ::bursting out
laughing::  Just kidding? sorry, ::waving a hand and shaking her head::  I
couldn?t resist.  I be a wee bit drunk and doopid.   Seriously? nobody?
 Nobody charges your phasers?

Peiy: Well don?t get me wrong or anything... most are just a bit pale
skinned oO and ill looking. Oo

DeBarres: There has to be some one, come on we?zzz got to know!

Peiy: Well I suppose there is one that caught my eye, but it?s silly. You?ll
think i?m crazy!

oO (DeBarres)As long as it is not that rock pile, or KlingonOo

Peiy: ::Turning deep blue-purple in embarrassment, whispering:: Ensign . . .
. Landau . . .

DeBarres: Come on Peiy, it?s ok.

York:  Oooh, ::hiccups::  the Mirror Dorn.

Peiy: Well he has nice skin, with a lovely subtle purple tint and his
features are much more masculine and appealing than most other humanoids.

York :  He?s the nengineer right?  Bet he could build you a yacht and
::dreamy:: you could go sailing the stars? ::flashing a curious look::  He?s
got mysteries.  I can see it in his peepers.  Shouldn?t there be more of him
though?


Peiy: Yes, I wondered about that too, it?s quite unsual. I know I am nosey
and all but even I have limits to my prying... oO Besides I have been to
busy, and maybe a bit shy, to approach him to chat. Oo

::The conversation paused for a moment, DeBarres got up and got another
drink, but the bottle was running dry, so she topped of Penny and York?s
glass, and motioned them come out in the center of the room ::

DeBarres :Ladies, I would like to make a final toast to the night:: Looking
at Penny and Peiy:: To us, the wild women of the Aurora!

::They clinked glasses and took a drink, it was the perfect end of the
evening::

:: After the lesson given to the seller and the group separating Tali in her best impersonation of a Bajoran draw his sttention on someone.::

Tali:  There is an Orion girl on the boardwalk who seems out of
place. I have no idea how to approach her though.

Dickens: :: He looked and saw the young woman :: She could be an slave, judging by her attire and posing. Maybe there's someone with her we can try to talk with.

Tali: Is there some way we can show them that we have the delivery
they were waiting for, without looking too obvious?

Dickens: We could try,... wait, where's she?

:: The woman had moved to the crowd and mixed with them. Before he could notice it she tapped him on the shoulder. His instinct told him to turn back and get in guard, however he steeled himself and turned her head slowly and then his body facing the Orion woman.::

Jalen: Pardon me. You're a targ-faced drenhole.

Dickens: :: He blinked twice :: What you've just said?

Jalen: I said. ::emphasizing every word:: You are a targ-faced drenhole.

Anyone: ?

Dickens: Steady, keep  moving and don't draw too much attention.

:: Turning back, she glanced them over again, and her eyebrows raised in suspicion at their delay.::

Jalen: Hey! ::snapping her fingers to get their attention:: What ship did you arrive on?

Dickens: The Jal-Falor, a freighter ship.

Jalen: So where the frak is Leishani? She was supposed to escort you guys over.

Dickens: ::He looked over his shoulder and saw some looks from his mates.:: She... left us, running when a scum Federation vessel tried to ... INSPECT her cargo manifest. At first she fighted but when she's loosing took a little shuttle and flee.

Jalen: Figures. ::sighing:: So do you know the password or not? Cos if you stand here any longer looking lost and limp, you're going to attract even more attention than you already have.

Dickens: That's the last thing we need and now, she's pretty secretive to avoid any trick from us. I supose she'd never imagined that she'll need to run when the fleeters hand was felt in her throat.

Jalen: Response

Dickens: I'm sure he'll be pleased that you're smart enough to do that. Guide us. 

:: The woman looked at him as if weighing what kind of man he was as he put on his best stone face and she started walking between the crowd as a fish between the waves. Soon they're driven to a kind of tent where they saw a Male wearing an earring on his left ear that as soon as he could, grabbed the woman by her collar and rudely asked her. ::

Kolar: Where the hell have you gone?

Jalen: Response

Kolar: They? You've definately loosed your sense. I was looking for a woman,... and Orion. Have you greeted them... properly?

Jalen: Response

Kolar: And the response? Was right?

Jalen: Response

Kolar: :: sighing :: Damn piece of meat, you'll waste my time? I'm looking for a specific delivery!

Sednikc: :: Marcus decided it's a good time to intervene and stepped forward :: If you're looking for Leishani, you'll be deceived, she'll not come, at least in the near future. I'm Sednick and that's all you'll get of me in case you're wondering.

Kolar: You better give me a good reason for that!

Sednick: Fear... She frightened when she had to face a real threat and leave us braking her contract with us. You're looking for her cargo right? :: He just scowls :: Then you' could be lucky today, however I expect something in return.

Kolar: :: He let out a grin :: You like to play right? We'll talk inside. JALEN! take care of them.

Sednick: You know what we're here for right? I don't like to loose time.

Kolar: Yes, but I rather talk about it not in the middle of the alley.

Senick: Wise of you. I'll see you in a moment, oh if I don't, destroy the cargo. :: said to the rest of the group. Jalen moved to the group and he moved in with Kolar, hoping to spend as little time as he could with the man.::

::Eerie notied Ensign York leaving the bridge, she was acting a bit strange,
but he didn't think too much of it, the female members of the crew were
pretty much a complete mystrey to him and trying to solve that seemed to be
something of a contradication in terms. Anyways his conversation with Peiy
had just ended and another one started on the bridge::

Blackwood: What is it Captain, care to share?



Vetri: Nothing, just an odd thought.



Blackwood:  You "are" odd.





Vetri: ::smiling:: I'm the Captain, I can be odd if I want, sometimes.
::tapping her commbadge:: =/\= Engineering, we good to go with that probe?
=/\=



Landau: ?



Vetri: =/\= Excellent. =/\= Evanna, everything set up for the data feed?



Blackwood: ::frowning:: Yes Captain.





Vetri: ::nodding, then to Eerie:: Lock in flight path and target area, Mr.
Eerie.

oO (Eerie) Mister, hmm,... nice term, not that I will be calling her Madam
any time soon, but I like it Oo

::Eerie locked the  flight path and the target location, and made a quick
double check, just to make sure::


Eerie: Probe is ready, Captain. :The tone of voice was the standard Brikar
that everyone on the bridge had learned long ago, that did not change in
tone or volume, except for extreme situations:


Vetri: Then by all means, send our little bloodhound on it's way. Helm, once
the probe is clear, find us somewhere to hide out and listen.



::Eerie hit the launch button, and the probe was sent on its way, the data
started to come back immediatly and he was happy that he had a nice feed
from the probe.::

oO At least Blackwood was a good bridge officer, and usually did not have to
go to the sickbay while on bridge duty, any place else she needed her own
medical teamOo



Vetri: =/\= Engineering, I want you to power down anything we don't need
right now, but keep the core on hot standby. We may need to be at full power
with minimal warning, but until then... make us as quiet as you can. =/\=

oO(Eeire) Excellant, Captain, I think I will talk to her at some point about
DeBarres, however Oo

Landau: ?


 ::Eerie noticed that Blackwood had done a good job filtering out the junk
data, and he was getting a good feed::

oO More data on some of the ships in the area, would not be a bad thing if
we pick up anythingOo



Blackwood: Captain, the probe is now in position. The first data has started
streaming in - anything relevent is now being routed to the appropriate
console. I am just filtering out the "trash".



Eerie: Captain, I am recieving good data from the probe. ::He looked over to
Blackwood and nodded to her, she simple stared at him::

 | Commander Vetri &amp; LT jg Eerie USS Aurora - Personnel Issue
 | ((Bridge))

Vetri: No idea, but it can't hurt to play it safe. Eerie, I probably don't
need to tell you this, but keep a good eye on our surroundings. Anything
looks like it's sniffing our way, let me know.

Eerie: Yes, Sire

:: Standing up from her chair, she gave another long look at the viewscreen,
then turned toward the door to her ready room.::

Vetri: Whilst we're waiting, I have the joys of paperwork to see to.
Anything crops up, you know where to find me.


::The Captain moved from the command chair and into the ready room::

::Eerie thought is was now or never, so he nodded to Ensign Jones, for him
to watch the station for a few minutes, he grabbed his PADD::

((Captain? Ready Room))

::Eerie went up to the ready room and buzzed to door, and entered, the
captain was sitting behind her desk checking something on her screen. He was
holding PADD, which was unusual for him, and didn?t go unnoticed.::

Vetri: Got something for me, Lt.?

Eerie : Captain, in lieu of Cmdr. Barnes, I have taken some of the
responsibility of the Tactical/Security Department, and things are going
fine, ?..but we are having a personnel issue.

::Eerie was perhaps a bit nervous, Brikar did not like to bring up personnel
issues, but that was not usually the problem with Brikar warriors, you did
or you were not a warrior, just a failure, and outcast in the society::

:: The little bit of a vibe he was giving off was just enough for Della?s
empathic senses to pick up on, and the fact that she *could* told her this
was by no means going to be a minor thing.::

Vetri : ::manging not to sigh:: Who?

Eerie : Specialist DeBarres......Sire

:: It took a moment for her to put a face to the name and recall some
details, but given the small size of the Aurora?s crew, it wasn?t as hard a
task as it could have been.::

Vetri: Is there a problem with her work?

Eerie: It isn?t that she can do the work, it is the motivation factor, sire

::He moved forward and handed the PADD to the captain, who accepted it - but
didn?t look at it right away.::

Vetri: Okay... So, you think there?s an issue. ::setting the padd on her
desk:: Lay it out for me.

Eerie : I have reviewed her record, and she had a great deal of experience,
but there has been no structure to it. Freighters captains and crews are a
pretty loose bunch...Sire.

Vetri: They can be, sure. They can also be a more *rigid* bunch than you
could possibly imagine. From what I recall, DeBarres? background falls more
into the former category. ::settling back in her chair:: They also have a
tendency to be very good at whatever ship-board role they are assigned.
Comes with growing up with the knowledge that screwing up can be a *very*
bad thing, I guess.

Eerie: Captain, I think she could fix anything on board with hyperspander
but she takes not no pride in her work, and there is  no  motivation,
 Captain.

Vetri: So, basically, you think it?s an attitude problem. A hold-over from
the fact that she failed the Academy entrance exams on two occasions,
perhaps? ::tilting her head a little:: I can see how that might leave an
impression. Make her perhaps a little less than diligent toward her duties.

Eerie:  If she had the drive and caring, she could be officer material, but
at this point, being a chief is not even a possibility..Captain

Vetri: Thing is, I don?t think that?s going to be it. From what I remember,
she wanted back into space, and when she didn?t make the grade for the
Academy - twice - she signed up as an enlisted crewman. Now, if *all* she
wanted was space, why not take a job on another freighter? Sure, getting
into Starfleet as a crewman is a lot easier than as an officer, but it?s
till no walk in the park. No, I think she wants to be where she is.

:: A moment or two passed as he seemed to absorb and consider that, though
it was a little hard to tell, given how expressive he usually wasn?t.::

Eerie : I seem to have a difficult time relating to her, I seem to come off
a bit formal, unfortunately, any suggestions would be appreciated Captain.

Vetri: Formal? At times, yes... but in my experience that?s when you?re on
duty, or dealing with something connected to it. Why not try a different
approach? Maybe try and get to know her a bit - perhaps there?s a hint about
all this somewhere in her family history, just waiting for someone to
stumble across it.

Eerie: I don?t know anything about her family but there is an older brother,
and I guess her father is retired, and the brother now has the freighter, I
don?t know if that has anything to do with it., Sire

:: Her response wasn?t any actual words, more an encouraging little hum of
sound as he though things through. After another few moments, he spoke up
again.::

Eerie : If she was half as motivated like Ensign Peiy we wouldn?t have any
problems, ?.. I was wondering if Ensign Peiy could do some mentoring with
her, they seem to get along pretty good....Sire, and perhaps we could give
her a goal of her choosing something to oO What is that term ? Oo ?..to cut
her teeth on?

Vetri: Give her someone less likely to be seen as an interfering authority
figure to relate to? Could work. ::smiling:: Especially since, no offence,
Peiy is a lot more of a people person than you tend to come across as.

Eerie: Well,....yes,  perhaps ?.I?m sure I could learn something on the
?people skills? from   Ensign   Peiy  ,  It is a  very difficult skill Sire.

Vetri: Then go for it. If Peiy is willing to help, I don?t see any reason to
scrap the idea - and it *is* a good idea. If it looks like it?s going to
work out, let me know. Also... if it?s not.

Eerie:  Yes, Sire.

:: Picking up the padd he?d handed her earlier, and she?d still not looked
at, she gave it back.::

Vetri: Then I?ll leave you to it. Unless there?s anything else?

:: Apparently there was, as he gave no sign of intending to leave right
away.::

Eerie: Captain, on a personal note, I would like to congratulate you and
Commander T?Lea on the birth of your daughter, I know you will make
excellent parents.

:: He nodded to the captain, Eerie liked the Captain, while sometimes a bit
emotional, he felt she was an excellent commander and would go far in the
service:

:: There was a second of silence, then a soft smile spread over Della?s lips
- the kind she felt coming on more and more often since T?Sara?s arrival
into the world.::

Vetri: Thank you, Eerie. It?s taking a bit of adjusting too, but... Thanks.
We?ll certainly do our best.

Eerie: Of course, Captain.

Vetri: Then carry on, Lt. I?ll be back on the bridge shortly.

Eerie: Thank you sire,  I :: With that Eeire retreated back to the bridge
and the tactical station::

oOBabies, hope I don?t have to do any babysitting duties real soonOo

Talar: I've already sent a group to pick it up. Now leave.
:: She turned and Marcus moved back with the rest of his team. As they're a few corridors off he looked around checking that there's no one else around. ::

Gilaars: I'm not so sure they completely 'bought our little 'ruse' I sensed suspicions from both Kolar and Jalen, primarily.
Anyone: Response
Anyone: Response
Dickens: Yes, seems that for the moment we've managed to do it. As we've been granted some hours we need to start our real job. I want you to separate in groups and try to gather as much info as you can.
Gilaars: Like how?
Dickens: Talk with people, have some meal and drinks, they'll speak more freely as they're in their base and in a relaxed ambient they could release their tongues. I'll call Rathbone and Gray to come up and join us so they could update us on their findings. Gilaars you and and Barnes go around and check the place. Look for anything that may come handy as security sensors, armory, exits, etc.
Barnes: Response
Gilaars: ::nodding:: Simple enough, I hope.
Dickens: Rawlings and Archibald, you check out on the mess, I know it might not be your strong point but try to be subtle knowing if there are others moving out or if they're staying here.
Anyone: Response
Dickens: I'll meet Gray and Rathbone and we'll check on the systems of this base. We'll meet in two hours and half in the mess hall to exchange what we've found. Doubts?
Gilaars: o0 I have 'em, big time! 0o
Anyone: Response

Dickens: =/\= Gray can you hear me? =/\=
Gray: Response
Dickens: =/\= There's a group that will come to the ship to take up the cargo. I want you to transport me there and greet them with you. Once this is done, we'll come down and join the rest of the group. =/\=

::Eerie walked back on the bridge and looked over to Blackwood, she seems
some what relived that he was back on the bridge::

oO(Eerie) First time for everything, I guessOo

::Eerie went back to the tactical station, Ensign Smith went back to his
other duties::


Blackwood: I am observing from the reports some interesting meteorological
changes in the region of the away team.



Eerie : Thank you Ensign, what do you have? ::Eerie turned to Blackwood,
there was a personal question he would have to talk to her about but that
could definitely wait for a another time.::





Blackwood: There is multicell cluster storm pushing across the area
producing bursts of heavy downpours with modreately sized hail stones.
Flashflood warnings have been issued. The wind will be strong... in fact it
is not unknown for storms of this type to produce weak tornados...



 Eerie : On screen please, Ensign.



:: Blackwood pulled up her chart onto the viewscreen offering a visual
representation of the phenomenon. ::





Eerie : Ensign, weather systems are   not my strong point, what do you
think?





Blackwood: I would not be too concerned. The area may appear ramshackle and
dilapidated but by all accounts they have seen and dealt with worse storms.
They seem well set up to weather this sort of thing and by their
estimation... and what I can read from the data avialable... it isn't likely
to last long before dying out anyway.







Eerie : How long do you think it will affect the local area, that  our away
team is in, Ensign?







Blackwood 4-7 hours.







Blackwood: I would think, to them.... it's like a rainy day in New
Scotland... pretty small news.





 oO(Eerie) Scotland? Sounds like a fun place(very dryly)Oo  Concerns for the
away team, Blackwood?







Blackwood: ...Well as long as they take shelter... buildings, and shelters
are not scarce in the region...







Eerie: Thank you, if there are any major changes, we will contact the
captain, but there appears that there is not much we can do about it, if you
can keep an eye on it, I would appreciate it, Ensign.



oO(Eerie) I hope she enjoyed the Conn for a moment, I will have to make sure
there is someone senior next time, but the ship did not blow, or we did not
declare war on anyoneOo


::Eerie checked the tactical board, there were no changes to the last
report, the probe was continuing to send good data, but he was also
concerned about having to charge into a potential very hostile system, he
wanted to call Peiy, he wanted to go over tactical duties if they were both
on the bridge, but he figured she could get a bit of down time before he
called her, he had run her pretty ragged of late::

::Eerie checked the tactical data, but he was also concerned with the Bridge
operations, Blackwood was at her station looking at the probes data, and  she
would shoot a look around the bridge occasionally, Eerie had no wish to try
out the captain?s chair, she had not formally given him the CONN, and he was
not assigned as OOD, but he would function as it until she returned or a
senior officer came on the bridge::





:: Looking  to Blackwood ::

Eerie : Ensign Blackwood anything on the weather pattern?



Blackwood :: Response



Eerie :: What part of Scotland are you from anyways, are you near to Ocean?
::Trying his hand at the terrans ?small talk?, it came out pretty formal::

oO How does one get good at this, .....stuff Oo


Blackwood :


Eerie : Hmm, sounds interesting Ensign.

oO Pretty weak, Eerie, even Klingons do better at it than youOo



::Eerie had did little traveling while spending time on Earth, other and the
Academy and required trips, he had not left the West Coast except for a trip
to Mexico were while the climate was wonderful,  the native dishes had not
agreed with him, however he was fond of some of the other ethic foods,
perhaps he should have traveled more.::





::Eerie left for a moment to go down to the navigators position, and peek at
the position of the ship, finding it in order, he went back to the tactical
position, from his passive data and the probes, the ruse was working they
had not attracted any attention, but how long could it last ?::

Eerie : Ensign Blackwood anything on the weather pattern?

:: Blackwood did not raise her head, but her eyes flicked up to peer at him.
::

Blackwood :

Eerie :: What part of Scotland are you from anyways, are you near to Ocean?



Blackwood: I am from NEW Scotland... a planet in the New Scotland System
located at  03-04-12. It has a 36 hour day, so getting used to the day/night
cycle adopted by this ship was... is... interesting. It IS connected to
Scotland, Earth, Sol System... and I can tell you about that at length! It
is a topic of great interest and importance to my clan. Thats a discussion
for another day though.... OFF duty.

Eerie : Hmm, sounds interesting Ensign.



 ::Eerie walked around the bridge and, took a look at the helm and back to
the tactical position::



Blackwood: As to your original question... Well, who in their right mind
would want to live by the sea?



Eerie: Well, something we actually agree upon, Ensign.


Blackwood: Well in is not unheard of for whole coastal towns to be eaten up
overnight by various tidal disasters. Well it is very rare anyway.

Eerie: Brikar Prime, has a bit of water, but I lived in a more like the
...Grand Canyon on Earth. Ensign.

Blackwood: I prefer to live near the mountains or forest. If there is a
river in the area I "have" to live uphill from it.

Eerie: Rivers are not a major concern on Brikar, Blackwood.

Blackwood: Well rivers flood, they can rise considerably, especially with my
people's insistance on building on floodplains despite compelling advice and
evidence against it. I always make sure to be on high enough ground to never
be affected.

Eerie: Perhaps some type of regulation against building on these flood
plains would be in order, Ensign.

Blackwood: Pfft. Nonsense.


oO(Eerie) No wonder small talk is highly over rated particularly with Black
wood, back to business Oo

::Eerie glanced at Blackwood, something appeared to chatch her eye ::

Eerie: What do you have Ensign?

Blackwood: I have movement on the scanners Eerie....

Eerie:Helm, stand by....maneuvering thrusters only

oO I could call the Captain but first....Oo

::Eerie, took a look at his scanners, he saw something but couldn't make it
out, it was at extreme range, but its course was following a course that
take it moving away from the Aurora::

Eerie : Ensign, I have something at extreme range, any ideas?

Blackwood:

::Eerie remembered the Captains last orders " if anything crops up" that was
good sufficient for him::

Eerie=^= Captain,  we have something on our scanners, and it does not match
any ship that we are expecting, it is at extreme range=^=


Vetri:


Eerie : Yes Captain.

::Eerie checked the tactical display,  Blackwood was continuing to monitor
the data coming in from the probe. He was gleaning some information on
current ships in the area and he was keeping up to date with expected
arrivals and departures of ships. It appeared that is was a busy place.::


Eerie =^= Ensign Peiy=^=

Peiy : ::Yawning:: =/\= Yeass Sir? =/\=

Eerie: =^= Ensign, I am sorry but if you have a few free minutes please
report to me on the bridge.

Peiy : =/\= Right away Sir. =/\=

Eerie: =^=Bridge, out=^=

:: Peiy rolled out of bed and meticulously shaved her head and prepared for
another duty shift. She made a point of always finding time to keep up with
her grooming routines which are very important to her race. Once finished
she changed into her red duty uniform and headed up to the bridge. She
passed one or two people on the way up and greeted them all with a friendly
nod and smile. She entered the bridge quietly and approached Eerie from the
rear. ::

::Eerie was continuing to review the data, he felt a presence behind him::

Peiy : ::Smiling:: Reporting for duty Sir.

Eerie : Thank you Ensign, I would like to go over this data, and tactical
one more time before we have to get in the thick of things. :Eerie glanced
over to Peiy, she was dressed as always in perfect uniform, and ready for
duty::

oO I will have to talk to her about DeBarres, afterwardsOo

Peiy: Sounds great sir. Whats the set up?

Eerie: I have configured the tactical board for possible two person
operation, basically we might have to beam the away team out while shields
are up, we could have to create a gap in the shields to beam the away team
back aboard ship:: Eerie engaged the two person display and he looked at
Peiy:: What do you think?

Peiy: I never like the idea of making a gap in the shields... especially in
a combat scenario...

Eerie: I agree, but we might have too, for a brief moment, we would probably
handle the beam out here, just to make sure,  Our main goal will probably
will be getting out of their with our skin intact, so targeting engines and
enemy weapons systems will be our primary goal, if both of us are on
tactical  board I thought we could split duties which will be quite
demanding in a fire fight.

Peiy: Excellent idea sir, how did you want to split the duties?

Eerie: Ensign, what do you feel is your best, of course if we have time will
be another matter.

::Eerie stole a quick glance at the the ensign, and then back at the
tactical board and business at hand::

:: Peiy fidgeted slightly as she considered how the tactical duties could be
split to ease the burden. There were two ideas the immediately occurred to
her, she weighed them up carefully and they came up even. ::

Peiy: One of us could focus on disabling the ships while the other handled
the extraction of the away team. Hmm. Once that is done we could have one
focus on targetting the ships and their systems, allowing the other to focus
on firing off the weapon systems..

Eerie : Excellent, Ensign, I like to go over this now, for practice makes
right.

::A moment pass and he continued::

Eerie : If we run into a lot of little ships perhaps,going through them
might make them hold fire, or hit someone else?s ship and we just slip out
of the ?....oO Darn these terms Oo bar room brawl.

Peiy: True.... thats going to depend on the skills of our helmsman. We don?t
want to be having too many ?bumps? ourselves...

Eerie: I?m sure the captain will chose the right course, Peiy.

Eerie : You feel good with this set up, Ensign?

Peiy: It is great sir. Exactly what we need I think.

Eerie : I have a special task if your  are so inclined, Ensign, it involves
Specialist DeBarres.

:: Peiy could scarcely contain her excitement at being chosen for a special
task. She must have done something to impress the Lieutenant if he was
giving her a special task. Peiy beamed with delight. ::

Peiy: What do you need sir?


Eeire: I would like you to personally supervise her for the time being, and
find a project that she can find some ?pride? in completing in a timely
fashion, but something that has to do with work, what do you think?


Peiy: Very good sir. I am interested in seeing her development. I will find
some time to talk to her and do some snooping. I hope I can help her improve
her work attitude.

Eerie: Thank you, Ensign. I do appreciate this and I have talked to the
Captain about it.

:: Peiy downloaded DeBarres personnel file to a data PADD to review later in
the hopes of finding some clues about this mysterious woman. ::

Peiy: If there anything else Lieutenant?

Eerie: Thank you Ensign, if you are on duty, please feel to contact me
anytime, and thank you for coming during your time off.

Peiy: ::checking PADD:: My shift wasn?t far away... I like an early start
sometimes anyway to get things done. I have things that need wrapping up
with the weapons systems and I?ll start on this... special assignment too.

:: Peiy left the bridge with a spring in her step. ::

 ::Eerie heard the familiar noise of a board overloading, it reminded him of
the Kobayashi Maru from the academy ::

(Flashback)

::Eeire was at helm sitting trying to dodge Klingons ships, he wasn't doing
a bad job of it either, Cadet Treade, had quickly  tried to program a virus
and upload it into the program, but  it was not working when his command
chair exploded and of course once the flash occurs you are considered
'dead'. There wasn't much left, shields were down and the weapons systems
were off line, only one other cadet was still 'alive' and she walked over to
Eerie::

Eerie : I'm taking us in Cadet.

Cadet Leftwood : Let's just wait for it to end (tired) :: The bridge was a
mess, smoke and fake debris littered it::

::Eerie punched up the ragged impulse  engines to full power and the
simulator shuddered, as Leftwood grabbed the helm board::

Leftwood :Shocked:: You are not!

Eeire : ramming speed ::He hit the maneuvering thrusters on, soundly the
simulation ended, and the exit opened and Captain Leswood, an vulcan walked
on the bridge, the dead cadets started to get up::

Leswood : You and Klingons, ....love to go down with ramming the
Klingons.....interesting you two tend to do the same thing


(End of Flashback)

::Eerie focused on the present and turned his head to the console ::




Eerie : Ensign do you require assistance?

 ::Ignoring Erie, she seemed to have the situation under control::

Blackwood: Captain, the console is suffering a cascading overload.



Any:



Blackwood: Well, we noticed a minor problem with the console earlier
and sent the diagnostics down to engineering, requesting it be fixed.



Any:



Blackwood: I am attempting to shut it down.



:: The console frittered and crackled sending out static charges that zapped
Blackwood's hand. She withdrew her hand in pain momentarily but then resumed
her effort to prevent the console taking further damage. ::

and will the sensors he was learning more that he ever wanted to know about

chance to go to DS9, where many a battle had been fought::


oOI would be an interesting place to visit, and perhaps I would get the
chance to check out the tacitical station with the blend of Cardassian and
Federation technology.Oo


::Eerie checked on the torpedo software once again, Neth was a talented
specialist, and the firing pause had been eliminated and was well within
specifications,::

::Eeire checked the security board, it looked like a medium level priority
message had come in to the security office, it was something to do with new
personnel, it was something that could wait till Peiy came to relieve him:

oO Picnic ?..the dictionary mentioned something about eating food outside,
but there was that other reference ?... an intimate occasion between two
people ?.. that was more that I  bargained for, not the Peiy wasn't
pleasant, she was perhaps the most dutiful of the younger officers?. I have

Eerie was starting to get flustered, the words coming out in drips and
drabs::
oO I hope I don?t have to....get me out...you better stay Oo :: Luckily for
Eerie, Brikar were incapable of blushing, but he could feel him flushing, he
had to do something so he reached for the now cold coffee and took a sip of
it,  and put it down. ::


Evanna: :: scratching the side of her head:: So is that something that?s
arranged at childhood... like arranged marriages?

Eerie: Well......If I had parents, yes...at a certain age, a spouse would be
arranged, but since....::Eerie?  voice trailed away::

Evanna: Hmm, so in Brikarn relationships is there any ?romance? or is it all
. . . ::clearing throat:: business?

Eerie: Can we talk about this some where else? Ensign.

:: Drumming her fingers off the table, Evanna drank her hot chocolate for a
few minutes reflecting on Eerie?s statements and behavior. ::

Evanna: Come on then. To the holodeck! ...AWAY!


:: Evanna tugged at Eerie?s arm and decisively dragged him to the holodecks.
::

((Holodeck 2))

::The crisscross of the holodeck now showed as Eerie and Evanna entered and
the door snapped shut. Eerie turned to Evanna. ::


Eerie: Better....::He relaxed a bit with he comforting walls of the
holodeck::

Evanna : Okay buster. I will look for a suitable program and you can tell me
what happens when.... you don?t eh ? get matched up...

:: Evanna listened closely as she browsed at the console looking for
something that might help Eerie with his sticky situation. ::

Eerie: Without a family name,  ?..I have l little prospects.....I was taken
in as orphan::Eerie turned away from Evanna:

Eerie: Even the Brikar Space Academy was closed to me......now I, have a
social engagement with Peiy, and don?t have a clue. ::The formal voice was
still there but there was a change

:: Evanna realized she didn?t know exactly WHAT she was looking for. She
turned round with a guilty feeling gnawing away in her guts. ::

Evanna: Aw... Hey pal, cheer up. Ye always got me remember. ::cheesy and not
so reassuring grin::

:: She slapped him a good couple of reassuring pats on the shoulder just to
be sure. It didn?t dispell the guilt and probably did nothing to help the
situation either. She couldn?t help but feel she was probably the worst
choice for advice in the whole quadrant. ::

::Eerie turned back to Evanna, and straighten up a bit, and turned to
Evanna.::

Eerie: What does one do at a picnic , other then eat? What do I talk about?

::  Evanna turned back to the console and pulled up a program that she
thought would help. It was an enormous park with picnic blankets and tables
as well as a few BBQ stoves and other outdoor treats. Evanna walked over to
one of the picnic tables and took a seat, motioning for Eerie to do the
same. She reached into the basket and took a sandwich, after waving it under
his nose to point out it?s tiny proportions she stuffed it in her mouth and
chewed. She hoped the sandwich would buy her some time and hide her intense
discomfort. oO How the heck should I know? Do I look sociable? Oo ::

::Eerie was confused, he saw the small sandwich, and ate it like Evanna, it
tasted good, but there had to be more to it and eating  little sandwiches,::

Eerie : Is that it?oO If this was what one does I can  handle thisOo

:: Evanna shook her head solemnly. She reached back into the basket and
rooted around amongst the miniature savories. She took out a mini sausage
roll and held it in front of an eye and peeked at Eerie, taking in the size
of him and his hands, fingers. oO Dear lord a jumbo sausage roll would be
mini to this guy. Oo She looked at the sausage roll again before cramming
that into an already stuffed mouth. Watching him in the picnic basket trying
to get the food... it was hilarious. She covered her mouth with her hand but
it was no good, she erupted into a fit of laughter spewing food forth onto
the bench. Of course she felt utterly terrible for it too, but she just
couldn?t stop. ::

Evanna: Sorry...Sorry.... What a shame.

:Eeire was unsure what to do, pound her in the ground or get up and leave,
but he regained his dignity or what was left of it and turned to Blackwood::

Eerie : I am glad I can amuse you Ensign . ?.but Piey likes to talk, what do
I say?  Do we talk about work?


:: Evanna slapped her face a couple of times with her hands to regain
controls of her senses. It was at that precise moment she knew exactly what
she had to do to solve this problem for Eerie. She made a mental note to
confer with, or at the very least send a message to Peiy about adjusting the
portion sizes to something more suitable to Eerie?s size. ::

Evanna: :: Scratching the side of her head and thinking hard.:: Definitely
avoid talking about work - unless she brings it up first. If she does it?s
fine but don?t ONLY talk about work....

::Eerie nodded slightly::

Eerie: OK.

Evanna: What about talking about hobbies?

Eerie : I can do that....., I like music,  that wonderful Mozart you know.

Evanna: Yeah perfect. Don?t forget to ask questions. Like ask her what she
likes too...

Eerie: Should I ask about her family? ::Starting to get the hang  of this or
at least he thought::

Evanna: Yes, that is a good idea. Ooh Ooh Ooh. You know, the picnic won?t
have any Brikarn food, you could take along something for her to try. I bet
she would like that.

:: Evanna paused then burst into a fit of the giggles. ::

Evanna: If I am around I can even smell test it for you first.


oO (Eerie) One of this days, Evanna you are going to push too far Oo

Eerie:That is a scary thought, but I will see what Bolians like and see if
what they might like.

::Eerie was feeling much better now, and now he had a clue, and she had
stopped asking about Brikar mating rituals, he almost smiled but held it
in::

::With that he got up from the table, and went over the BBQ which was warm,
and looked at the utensils, then he realized that most species would need
them for the hot food., He reached in and picked up a hot coal, then put it
back::

:: Evanna winced slightly and stared blankly at Eerie as he picked up the
piece of coal. ::

(Evanna - Flashback - StarFleet Academy - Physical Chemistry 2)

:: It was a simple experiment to illustrate a point in matter manipulation,
it was be be marked by an examiner who was checking to cadets to make sure
they had the core skills in using the techniques and equipment required to
complete the lengthy but not especially difficult experiment.::

oO It is just a matter of following the step by step instructions carefully.
Oo

:: She put the Argine onto the tripod as specified and begin to heat it. She
knocked it with the tongs as she put the down and it wobbled, nearly
knocking the argine off the stand. She made a mental note to be careful as
this was the trickiest part, the argine had to be heated very specifically
and if it was heated for the incorrect time or at the wrong temperature the
whole experiment would fail. Of course it was not tricky if you didn?t have
to worry about a wobbly stand. ::

oO Trust me to have the only wobbly one in the room. ::

:: Evanna looked around for another tripod but there was none, so she had to
make do with what she had. She picked up the tongs  to turn the piece of
argine, bumping the table as someone squeezed past. The bump made the tripod
wobble and the argine slipped off the unsteady tripod. ::

:: Evanna panicked  - if the examiner saw this she would fail and if she
didn?t get it back on the tripod immediately she would fail as the whole
experiment would fail. She instinctively reached out in her panic and lifted
the argine with her first finger and thumb. Of course she immediately knew
this was a mistake and the lack of pain that followed gave her another clue.
::

:: She rubbed her two fingers together and it felt really funny as though
the skin had a film over it. The skin was extremely hard and Evanna knew
that the only reason it didn?t hurt was that she?s burned her fingers badly
enough that the pain receptors had been damaged. She knew that the damage
had already been done and that she should be getting the burn treated, but
she didn?t just go through all of that to fail the experiment through
incompetence. ::

(End Flashback)


Eerie : What types of food is this used for, Evanna, I mean Ensign.

Evanna: ::Rubbing her thumb and first finger together:: Huh?

Eerie: Can you cook all sorts of food?

Evanna: Oh.. right... Uhm. Sausages. Bacon.... You know meat. Steaks of
meat. Some people have been known to do fish on there... like Salmon.

Eerie : Did not have much fish at the Academy, but I liked it., I will have
to try this sometime.

::Eerie was also thinking of the wonderful heat  that it would generate.:

:: Then, Eerie turned to Blackwood, and stared her in the eye, he slumped a
tad::

Eerie: Thank you....

:: Evanna didn?t like maintaining eye contact with Eerie, she felt like her
eyeballs would shrivel up like raisins and quickly looked away. Feeling
uncomfortable again she blustered. ::

Evanna: Pfft. No worries Pa... oO NOT Pal... Oo

::Pausing::

Evanna: Was there anything else you require?

Eerie: No, Ensign.

oOThere it is again,  that  on and off of Blackwood, like a real person,
trying to fight there way out of that redheaded mess.Oo

Blackwood: Very well.

:: Blackwood turned sharply away from Eerie and removed herself from the
holodeck at speed leaving Eerie behind with the picnic program. She wondered
if he would take a few minutes on his own to have another look about. Making
sure no one was around she took out her PADD and sent Peiy a quick
communication about portion sizes. She shook her head and slowly moved on
imagining the ludicrous scene. ::

board::


Vetri: Eerie, sorry to interrupt but could you confirm these readings we're
getting from the probe? What I'm looking at is the entire city that our
people are in just went black.

::Eerie took a look at his tactical board,  he read the readouts from the
probe, and took a look at the data, it looked like the storm had hit the
city pretty hard, but anyone under shelter should be fine, perhaps the storm
had ticked up a bit since Blackwood had given her assessment but weather as
a habit of not playing according to schedule::

Eerie: Captain ::Maintaining his focus on the tactical board, while talking
to Vetri:: It appears from this reading that the power grid had blinked out
because of the storm,, but as long as they are under shelter they should be
OK.

Vetri: If that's storm damage, I really don't envy the people on the
ground... ::falling silent a moment:: Assessment? Do we need to go in and
get our people out?

Eerie: Captain :: Pausing for a few seconds, and turning to the Captain::
While I would prefer  to get them out, with out any clear indication that
they are in trouble, it is difficult to know the best course of action.

Vetri: On the other hand, nobody down there seems to be making more fuss
than you'd expect... Riding in now could do more harm than good.

Eerie: Sire, I agree, but I dislike the amount of time, they have been on

::Eerie was at the tactical board, hoping that he had not make a mistake
with DeBarres, but he was hopefully that she would prove him wrong, when he
saw Matthews and Peiy come up to him::



Matthews:   Hello Mr. Eerie, I have a request that Ensign Peiy work with me
on my shift.





::Eerie looked at Matthews and Peiy, she nodded a little bit, Eerie was a
bit confused, Cmdr Barnes had left the department in his hands while on the
landing party, and while he was not given formal approval of the acting job
of the Tactical/Security Department, he had been acting since his departure.
Now another LT jr who assigned to tactical/security and he was left without
any clear chain of command, for all Eerie knew he might have more time in as
LT jr, which was quite possible::



oO Well, I guess Peiy could assist if he thinks he needs the assistance, but
it would be temporary until Barnes came back, I would love the position of
Assistance Head of the Tactical Department, but ?..whatever?.don?t want to
create any waves unless needed ?.and he is asking me, I guess it will be OK,
hmmm???Oo





Peiy: Sir.





Eerie: LT, if you need someone to give you a hand for a while.





Matthews: I feel that she would be the best for the job, with me at this
time. With your approval.





Eerie: Lieutenant,  I am just acting until Barnes returns, but ?.is this
accept table to you Ensign?





Peiy: Sir, it is a good opportunity and there is much I can learn from him.





Eerie: Lieutenant, I will approve it temporary,  but she has other duties to
perform, and I still would like here to get some bridge time, but she can
bring you up to date on our plans for a hot run in and out of Farius Prime,
if need be.





::Eerie saw the stare in the LT?s eyes, there it was that Marine glare, not
threatening, not that it mattered to Eerie, he was not intimidated  by
anyone,  he pulled up the appropriate information that both he and Peiy had
developed for all the ships in the system::

 ::It was like two grizzly bears, feeling each other out, and deciding that
they could live together for the good of the ship::





Matthews: Very well. ::Looking to Peiy.:: Ensign when does my shift start?





Peiy: ::Using her PADD to pull up and check the duty rota:: You aren?t
scheduled to ?officially? begin until tomorrow, but perhaps the Lieutenant
has other plans?





Matthews: ::Looking at the expression on her face and smiling.:: Erm.. I can
get the hint. See you both tomorrow.







Eerie: Lieutenant, you have the tactical position, till the next watch, if
there is anything worth noting you will contact me.

there, Matthews were no were to be seen so he went over to the tactical
station to find Ensign Smith minding the station::



Eerie : Where is Lieutenant Matthews?



Smith: I relieved him a little while ago, something about a medical exam.



Eerie : Thank you Ensign, you are relived.



::Eerie was a bit confused, but this was not the time or place, we would

station::







Eerie=^= Very good, Ensign I will take a look at systems up here and we will
go from there, keep me informed, Eerie out =^=

Eerie: Man the Engineering station , we have a virus of some type running
around on the ship, isolate any systems that are affected and double check
firewalls, and put in emergency firewalls on all key systems.

all the systems::

 Eerie/Peiy: Number 1 is powered down, it could be in the other unit.

 Cooper: I think that's where it is. I'd have to get eyes on it to be sure,
though.

 Vetri: Then go. Eerie, go with him, make sure that if anything gets in his
way, it regrets it.

 Eerie: My pleasure Captain, ?..Ensign Peiy keep an eye on tactical,call me
if you need anything.

Peiy:


::Eerie headed for the turbolift, directly after Cooper heading for
planetlogy lab, he turned and nodded to Peiy and the Captain on the way
out::

 | ((Sickbay))

(backsimm)



Eerie: Ensign, you can struggle all you like you are going to Sickbay and
they can clear you after that. If you don't know it you have some burns on
your neck and back Ensign.

::Eerie looked in the sickbay, it appeared that a good percentage of the
crew was here, he wasn't planning on staying here very long, he needed to
get back to the bridge::

Eerie : Doctor, Blackwood appears to have some second degree burns here, I
will leave her with you, I would suggest restraints.

Blackwood: Thats a bit extreme...

Malcolm: Thank you, Eerie.

::Jen turned to her patient and placed her hands on her hips. She raised her
eyebrows::

Malcolm: Back again so soon, Evanna?

Blackwood: I count this as evidence in favor of the argument that bad luck
comes in threes.
:: T'Lea stepped back to allow the doctors access to their patients, but
stepped forward to intercept Gina.:

T'Lea: Are you hurt?

Gina: ?

T'Lea: Why don't I believe you?

Gina: ?

T'Lea: Well, if you are healthy enough to make snarky comments like that,
then you mustn't be too maimed.

Gina: ?if any

:: The Romu-vulc moved over to Eerie as the Doctor's got busy with an influx
of injured.::

T'Lea: ::to Eerie, nodding at Evanna:: What happened?


::Eerie turned the Lt, Commander, and he saw the cute baby, he could only
think of his babysitting experience all over again, but while it wasn't that
bad of an experience, he wanted to get to the bridge and back to duty, there
wasn't a whole lot he could do here::

Eerie: Ensign Blackwood was putting the  anti virus chip in, when she was
shocked and burned, Commander.

T'Lea: Did the anti-virus work?

Eerie: Yes, it is working throughout all the systems now.

 ::T'Lea looked away as Penny York, and then back towards Eerie, and nodded,
that was all Eerie needed, and he took a quick look around the sickbay, then
he headed for the door::

 | ::Eerie watched and listened to Matthews make he report, the Helm officer
had put in the course, he noticed T' Lea was back on the Science station,
then Matthews turned to Eerie:

Matthews: ::Looking to Eerie.:: Thanks for diverting that power to the brig
Mr. Eerie.

Eerie: Of Course, Lieutenant.

:: Okay, if the Romu-vulc was going to keep things strictly business, that
actually helped. Taking a moment to make sure her voice was going to be as
even as she wanted it to be, Della spoke again.::

Vetri: What sort of information are we getting from their data nets?

T'Lea: Captain, new information is being broadcast. Martial Law has been
declared for the city, and local authorities are in place to enforce the
curfew as soon as the storm subsides. Citizens that are found without proper
ID, looting, or loitering will be arrested. Deadly force has been
authorized. ::beat:: Do we have an extraction plan for our away team?

Matthews: ::Looking to the Captain.:: Not to be rude ma'am, but can someone
kinda let me in on the situation? I know there is an away team, but what is
really happening, and the Cmd. mentioned something about an extraction?

Vetri: Short version, LtCmdr Dickens and others are trying to find out just
what this bunch of terrorists is up to. Looks like they managed it, and now
we need to get them out of there - in the midst of a major storm and it's
attendant civil instability. ::glancing around with a dry smile:: Did I miss
anything?

Peiy: ?

Eerie: Unfortunately, that is all the information I have until we can pick
up there transponders, the storm is still masking them.Captain.

T'Lea: ?

Matthews: If the team is going to be on the run and can't stay in one place
i suggest a fast fly by pick up. Like using a drop ship. ::Looking to
Vetri:: Captain, if i may. Does the ship have something that is faster than
a shuttle, something that can get in and out fast? I am a trained pilot, I
just need someone that can track the team while I concentrate on flying.

Vetri: Just what I was thinking. If we can't trust the transporter systems
right now, we'll have to do it the old-fashioned way. Mr. Eerie, I want the
Boealis prepped for launch as fast as possible.

:: The Aurora's Waverider shuttle, nestled in it's bay on the underside of
the saucer, was hardly designed for this sort of thing - it bas barely
capable of making orbit on it's own, after all, but it *was* capable of
making a hard drop into an atmosphere, as well as the fast retrieval and
burn for pick-up that this little run was going to need.::

:: Tali was probably going to flip at the abuse the little craft was going
to take in the process, though...::

Eerie: Of Course Captain.

::Eerie started tapping in commands into the tactical board, bring the
Boealis up for an immediate launch, he started an external power of the
craft, as well as updating its computer with current information::

Vetri: Excellent. Peiy, you're Matthews' back-up. Grab a couple of security
guys and a bit of extra firepower.

Peiy: ?

T'Lea: ?

:: The news that most of the science team was in some way incapacitated
wasn't all that good - plus it meant that she couldn't send one to give the
shuttle team the technical assistance she might have liked to...::

Vetri: Dammit.. Okay, scrap that. Peiy, you're staying here. Eerie, you're
with Matthews.

:: As she was speaking, the tubolift doors slid open once more, revealing
Teagan.::

Teagan: This was interesting experience. Anyone knows how?s Ensign
Blackwood?

Eerie: Counselor, it appears she has second degree burns, but I'm sure she
will be fine.

Teagan: She was looking fine, you say. ::Turning to Della.:: I can go and
check the Sickbay if you don?t need me here.

:: As Matthews spoke with Eerie, Della considered the counselor for a
moment.::

Vetri: I've got a better place for you, Lt., though you're going to want to
dust off your first aid training.

Teagan: ?

Vetri: If we've any sort of luck at all, you won't need it, but you're the
closest thing to a medic we can spare right now. Go with Matthews - you're
on the team picking up our guys on the ground.

Teagan: ?

Matthews: ::Looking to Vetri:: With your permission ma?am?

Vetri: Go bring our little spies home.

:: The assembled group left the bridge, heading for where the aeroshuttle
was docked, and Della shifted to the officer at the helm.::

Vetri: Flat out, what's our ETA to Farius Prime?

Helm: 4 minutes, ma'am.

Vetri: Then get us there. The Borealis is cleared to launch the moment we're
in position.

:: The surge of the Aurora's impulse drives was the main answer she got to
that, as the ship dumped the last traces of pretending to be subtle and
began it's high-speed dash across the system.::

T'Lea: ?

:: With a wry smile, Della let her gazer track over her mate and their
daughter.::

Vetri: ~~ Like I'm letting you anywhere near that planet. And... thanks. For
stepping in. Are our girls okay? ~~

T'Lea: ?

Peiy: ?

Anyone: ?

 | Lt. Cmdr. Dickens, FO, AURORA:  In every escape is the chance of failure
 | ( Brotherhood bunker )

OOC: Ok people, this is the time of truth. Will we all escape or there will be casualties. The choice is yours, never best said! :-p

IC:

::In a matter of minutes everyone else gathered up.::

Dickens: Ok, we're ready to leave. They're busy, but a greater distraction won't hurt us.

Barnes: Okay Gilaars take point with Gray, everyone else follow on, do not stop for anything and I mean anything. I'm off to go and great some havoc. See you all at home.

::Leaving the others Barnes headed back through the mess hall and towards the tunnels. Marcus was tempted to stop him, but he'd seen that look other times and knew what he's capable of.::

Tali: Barnes is taking one last look at something of interest -- it might be critical to their plan.

Dickens: He'd esperience in causing troubles to the enemy, I trust his words. You said you've found something?

Tali: I've found a backdoor out of here I recommend we use. It should take a long while before they realize what has happened.

Dickens: The main entrance is not a good chance so if you've anything else, we'll proceed.

::Elya waved her hand for them to follow, leading them back through pitch black hallways to the generator room. The Guard at the door fidgeted from side to side as they all entered the room, but didn't make any more complaints, strange for Marcus but accepted the good luck.::

Tali: There is one more coming behind me -- a strong guy, let him in when he gets here.

Gilaars: What do you need me to do?

Tali: Response

Dickens: I'll lend you a hand too.

:: Tali lead them on finding the exit and soon they're on their way. Marcus took the rear while the group moved out of the bunker. As the group progressed a rumour was hear behind them, followed by some voices, at that point a great sound rocked the place and they stopped in their tracks for a few seconds. ::

Dickens: We should move, they're on their terrain and will be motivated to find us. We need to find the exit.

:: As the group moved the sounds and voices approached and when they're reaching the exit some blasts were felt in the near wall. Marcus turned and fired back ::

Dickens: MOVE OUT NOW!!

:: As they reached for the exit more blasts were felt near while Dickens ducked assisted by Gilaars. ::

Gilaars: Response

Dickens: Lead the group out, signal the Aurora requesting the extraction :: Firing his phaser again :: If we have to wait, try contacting Barnes, he should be out at this time.

Gilaars: Response

Dickens: Take this :: He handed Gilaars the data they've gathered :: protect it the best you can. Now go! 

:: He shot three shots spread through the corridor but he's answered with a lot of fire bolts while the team moved out. He's beginning to loose terrain and decided to build some time. Another few phaser barrels and he ducked behind the exit and began modifying the phaser, blocking the energy release valve and opening the energy chamber making the phaser began the overloading  process. He put the phaser on the corridor and moved quick to the exit and finding that the outside was full of clouds and thunders that hindered the hearing. As he looked for cover two of the guards exit and later was heard and explosion that collapsed the entrance to the tunnel. Some bolts followed him while he jumped from cover to cover and found that his team tried to cover him with their own shots. However that drew the attention of the called authorities of the place that were beginning to get out. ::

Dickens: :: Shouting from his cover that was behind some big boxes and below a metallic ceiling that covered an outdoor ceiling :: Gray, where's Barnes and the Aurora?

Gilaars: Response

Dickens: TALI, is Jalen with you?

Tali: Response

:: It's at this point that some phaser fire  shot at the ceiling over him and this began to fall. Marcus tried to move out but other phaser fire prevented it, so soon he's covered by the ceiling and the boxes that were over it. He almost loosed consciousness by being hit with all the debris and only could hear the sounds of phaser and thunders until the first of them subsided. Soon he felt the debris being removed and he was half conscious and only when his face was uncovered he saw his crew mates and their preplexed looks. It's just when he looked to his left arm that he understood them, seeing his hand under the heavy metallic portion of the ceiling that just dropped over him. They tried to move it but it just make the pain appear and in a very hurting way. He couldn't avoid to scream and beg them to stop ::

Dickens: NO, NO, NO,... UAAAAA... I don't... think I could get it out and if you make it, it'll just give me pain and possibly will be necrotized tissue that... will lead to an infection.

Anyone: Response

Dickens: You see anyone coming?

Anyone: Response

Dickens: And the transport?

Anyone: Response

Dickens: As I see it we ... need to move and take cover until they arrive. You.. only have two options, leave me here and search for cover until the rescue and with a ... bit of luck they won't notice me down here until I'm transported or ...

Anyone: Response

Dickens: Or just cut my hand with the phaser to move me. 

Anyone: Response

Dickens: This ceiling had resisted lightnings for a while, phasers will need some time to... cut through it and before it's done, we'll be surrounded...

 | LT.JG Alexander Matthews: Flight of the Aurora's Borealis ((Backsim))
 | ((Main Bridge ? USS Aurora))



::Alexander listens to the Captain as they concive a plan to retrive the
away team. Counselor Teagan just came on the bridge talking to the Vetri.
Alexander looks to Eerie with a question.::



Matthews: ::Looking to Eerie.:: Mr. Eerie, you up for a ride?

Eerie: Of Course, Mr. Matthews.

::Alexander looked back to Airelle, and the Captain as they continued their
convestation.::



Vetri: I've got a better place for you, Lt., though you're going to want to
dust off your first aid training.



Teagan: Not so sure...



Vetri: If we've any sort of luck at all, you won't need it, but you're the
closest thing to a medic we can spare right now. Go with Matthews - you're
on the team picking up our guys on the ground.



Matthews: ::Looking to Vetri, and then to Arielle smiling.:: Welcome to the
team Counselor.



Teagan: In that case I?ll advise you to pray for them. My First Aid is just
that. ::Arielle chuckled.::But my piloting skills and Engineering knowledge
may come in handy.



Matthews: ::Looking to Vetri:: With your permission ma?am?



Vetri: Go bring our little spies home.



Matthews: Aye ma?am. ::Walking to the turbolift.:: oOWith the grace of
God.Oo



((Wave rider-USS Borealis))



::Alexander, Arielle, and Eerie enter the lift, taking it down to the deck
of the Waverider. Upon entering Alexander and Eerie start to prep the ship
for launch, looking back to see Arielle waking on systems as well.::



::Arielle followed Matthews and Eerie to the waverider and started checking
the systems, same as everyone. She chuckled realizing everyone are checking
everything. She started prelaunch sequence and for that was encountered with
surprised look from the other two.::



Teagan: OKay, Okay. I?ll just sit here and let you do your job... are we
waiting anyone else? ::Shrug.:: Do you want me on communications or you'll
cover that, too?



Matthews: ::Smiling.:: Not a problem counselor, if you don?t mind taking the
flight engineering station, and since we don?t have a science officer, I
will add that station to yours. Thank you for helping, it will just make the
prep time faster. ::Looking to Eerie.:: Mr. Eerie the flight operations
station, and weapons systems are yours to command. I was hoping to have
someone that will provide cover for the team if we enter a hostile landing
zone.



Eerie: OF Course, Lieutenant ::Eerie looked at the seat and sat down, and
looked at the controls, quickly scanning them.::



::Alexander sits in the pilot seat checking over the controls. Looking down
to see a flight yoke, and throttle. Smiling to himself as he also saw trim,
elevator, and aileron controls. Laughing inside to himself. Just like the
old Microsoft flight simulator, come to think of it whatever happened to
that?::



::While getting the flight data from the Aurora, a message from the bridge
comes over the comm system.::



Helm:=/\=Bridge to Borealis, you have one more member on the way. Lt.
Kagran.=/\=



Matthews: ::Tapping the console.::=/\= Understood Aurora. Can you have the
tactical officer on duty transfer the callsign for the away team to me so I
can contact the with the correct one?=/\=



Helm: =/\= Understood, and the data is being transferred.=/\=



Matthews: =/\= Thank you, Borealis out.=/\= ::Closing the channel.::



::Just then a Klingon in a marine uniform entered and closed the hatch.::



Matthews: ::Looking back.:: Have a seat Lt. Everyone buckle up. ::Taking the
headset and putting it on, as the rest of the team straps in to their
seats.:: Welcome to the team Mr?.::Looking to the Klingon.::



Kagran: :: Giving a nod :: Let?s get going



Matthews: ::Looking forward to the flight controls and the viewscreen.::
=/\= Borealis to Aurora, ready for launch.=/\=



Vetri:=/\= Go get them, Borealis.=/\=



Matthews:=/\= Aye ma?am, we will be going in dark and dead stick until we
reach the atmosphere. ETA, twenty minutes.=/\=



Vetri: =/\= Acknowledged. We'll keep the door open for you.=/\=





Matthews: =/\= Aye ma?am we are launching in three? two? one?=/\= ::The
channel went closed.::



::Just then the Waverider detached from the Aurora, Alexander took hold of
the yoke and pointed the nose of the ship in a downward position to enter
the planet atmosphere to build the speed that was needed, so not to use
fuel, or power until the last possible moment until landing. Looking to his
side Alexander could see Eerie showing no emotion, Alexander thinking to
himself that he must be having fun with this. All of a sudden a loud scream
of joy came from beside him. Looking over to see Arielle with wide eyes, and
a large smile on her face. Looking back as he could, Alexander could see
Kargran with an even bigger smile. Alexander thought to himself a smiling
crew is a happy crew.::



::Cutting the power to the lowest level possible without losing lifesupport
the Borealis started to enter the atmosphere at a high level of speed that
the wingtips started to glow from the heat of re-entry. Alexander still
holding on to the flight controls started to compensate for the heat and
speed with small adjustments to keep the Borealis from burning up.::



::What seemed like forever, but just under the twenty minute mark the
Borealis passed the ionosphere of the planet just then Alexander took more
control of the craft, and turned on the power for the comm system. Looking
back to Arielle.::



Matthews: Counselor, your station is alive. You have comms and the science
station. ::Looking to Eerie.:: You have weapons control. Remember we are
going in as a glider to save fuel. So I will need to be precise in
correcting for the extraction. Kargran as soon as we touchdown get to the
hatch and cover the team as they run to the ship. Questions and opinions now
because we are committed.



Teagan: Let's just go, we have lot of time discussing things when flying
down. From the message, or rather from the sound of it I believe they need
us fast. Beside bad weather and blackout something went wrong. ::Arielle
trembled.::



Eerie: yes LT.



Kargran: I will be ready.



Matthews: ::Smiling.:: Ok we are heading in.::Tapping the console to contact
the Aurora.:: =/\=Borealis to Aurora, do you read?=/\=



::Nothing but static, but the ship just came out of a re-enrty phase like
the space shuttles of the late 21st century. Alexander tried again.::



Matthews: =/\=Borealis to Aurora, do you read?=/\=



Vetri: =/\= Response=/\=



Matthews: ::Smiling as he wiped the sweat from his forhead.:: =/\= Copy that
Captain we read you five by five. Requesting vectors for landing to pick up
the away team. =/\=



Vetri:=/\= Response=/\=







Matthews: =/\= Understood ma'am. Borealis out.=/\=  ::Looking to Arielle.::
It's your show Counselor. Guide me in.



Teagan: I have nothing from away team yet. They were sending pings few
minutes ago, I?d say to announce team leader that everyone got a message for
extraction, but nothing ever since.



Matthews: ::Looking to Eerie.:: Any bad guys around Mr. Eerie?



Eerie: Nothing but some local shuttles, and they don't appeared too
interested in us, Lieutenant.



Matthews: Counselor see if you can contact the away team, i need a bearing
to make the course correction.



Teagan: Nothing yet. ::She chuckled.:: You know they will not call earlier
again if you?ll ask me every 2 minutes. Just head to the town, I?ll tell you
if hear from them or find them.



Matthews: ::Smiling.:: Noted. Use the code Xray for us they are Sunbird  and
enroute to LZ we need a beacon to find it.



Teagan: I wouldn?t agree with you, Mr. Matthews. I was on the Bridge when
The message came from them and they called with ?Sunbird to Xray.? ::She
winked to Alexander and checking the distance waited a bit then opened
comm.:: =/\=Xray two to Sunbird, we need a beacon, repeating we need nav.
beacon. =/\=



Matthews: ::Smiling, Alexander winked back. Looking to Eerie.:: Eerie when
you have the beacon track it, and see if it is moving.



Eerie: Lieutenant, some movement , here are the new coordinates. it moving
slightly:: cross referenced a map with his HUD:: I have a new landing spot
for us, it's going to be a tight drop in.



::Alexander making corrections to not lose speed, because any loss now would
mean that he had to use the engines to pick up for the loss, and all of the
fuel was needed to get back to the Aurora. Teagan constantly trying to
contact the away team.::



::After a few short minuets that felt like hours, the Borealis's comm system
came alive.::



Barnes: =/\= Barnes =/\=



Teagan: =/\=We?re heading toward extraction point. How long do you want us
to wait for you after we pick them?=/\=



Barnes: =/\= Am inbounds now, give me 30 seconds, if you have the team on
board then go. I'll make my own way home. =/\=



Dickens: Response



Eerie: Response



Matthews: ::Looking back to Kargran:: You ready Marine??



Kargran: Just get us down Lieutenant.



Matthews: Hang on. :: Alexander compensated for the corrections, and the
speed for the turns, but the Borealis was gaining speed. As he found the
small, but long clearing that Eerie and Areille directed him to the ship was
still moving to fast. Looking out to the wings Alexander could see that the
speed was causing them to wobble with the stress. Looking down at the panel
Alexander found the control for the drag chutes. Thinking of what he could
do next, Alexander lined up the Borealis for the landing. Dropping the
landing gear and locking them into position, Alexander started to read the
airspeed. It was still too fast. There was only one way, and that was to put
the Borealis into a dead stall. It was the only other way to slow the ship
without using the thrusters.::



::Pulling back on the yoke, the nose of the Borealis moved upward as the
ship started to slow down but a little to fast, Alexander pulled the control
for the flaps on the wings backward to lower them, The Borealis's warning
lights started to flash, and the master caution light and klaxon started to
sound and light up. Alexander then looked at the altitude indcator to show
that the Borelias was les than 5 feet off the ground, and then they all felt
the bump of the rear landing wheels touch the ground, and then pushing the
yoke forward making the nose wheel touch. Alexander hit the brakes, and the
drag chute control. As the chutes deployed the Borealis slowed to a stop.::



Matthews: Rock and Roll.



Eerie: I have them, they appear to be in a warehouse, or part of them about
100 meters in that direction, and they appear to be underground ::Eerie
motioned to the 10'o clock position.:: The other group is slightly behind
and about 50 meters further back, we should move out.



::Alexander running a fast systems check on the Borealis after the more than
normal landing. To say the least the Borealis is a fine ship. Thinking to
himself that he would kiss the nose of her if her had time, but right now
the main issues was getting the away team home.::

Barnes: Hows it going Marcus, soon have you home.

Gilaars: No, I'm staying here with Commander Dickens. I can at least try to defend us if nothing else.

Dickens: The information is the first, don't let our effort be... wasted...

Gilaars: I am staying. I cannot, in all good conscience, just leave you. I couldn't live with myself if I did and you didn't make it!

Dickens: I'll... consider thisss... a mutiny... :: He tried to smile a bit but it's transformed in a grim of pain. He didn't know how much time passed but soon he felt a familiar sensation that almost evaded him from the pain. However it returned as soon as he's rematerialized. ::

Teagan: If you know how to use this, please use it, because with my knowledge I may make it just worse.

Gilaars: I am not too much better, but I'll do what I can. ::takes medkit, starts administering first aid, to stabilized the injured hand::

Teagan: Sir, I'd advise you to look to me. I know you're interested in your hand, but the site is not the best and you're weak from lost blood.

Dickens: Tell me something... I didn't know. Oh, and I'm not that apprehensive. However, I'll trust... your advice.

::Another member of away team got transported into the small vessel between the movement some kind of nausea overwhelmed him and he felt his vision blurr a little that he tried to regain by doing a long blink and focusing on someone he couldn't really recognize.::

Gray: Response

Gilaars: ::wrapping hand:: C'mon, Commander, stay with us, okay?

Teagan: Sir, don't fall asleep, you lost too much blood and need to stay awake till we get back to ship.

:: He mumbled something but couldn't quite voice it at that point. A few seconds later he seemed to regain a bit of his strength. ::

Gilaars: Almost there. ::manages to staunch the bleeding and finish the bandaging.:: There! That should hold until we can get him to Sickbay. ::to Teagan: What next?

Teagan: Go, help them. I'll stay with Commander. ::She strapped him to the bench and then turned picking up something and returning a few seconds later.:: I will give you mild sedative, but I can't kill the pain completely because it will most probably put you to sleep and we don't want that.

Dickens: I... don't know you. Who you are?

Teagan: I'm Arielle Teagan, Counsellor. Arrived to ship yesterday, you?

Dickens: ::: He could feel her thoughts flying wild. Obviously she wasn't controlling herself good in those conditions :: Your FO... Dickens 

Teagan: Erm.. ::Arielle gulped.:: Well, err, Sir, nice to meet you. ::Arielle was watching him with a smile doing her best to cover for the heart that was bumping in her head, when realized there's no point, since she saw in his bio that Commander is half Betazoid.:: I'm sorry.

Dickens: Don't worry ~ but remember first aid, don't give drinks or food to a wounded that could become unconscious~ oO It seems easier to talk this way. Oo You seem... not a typical Betazoid...

Teagan: No, actually I will not say that, because this is me. I'm fuzzy, eccentric and lost in time and space. ::She chuckled.:: I served with Captain on Conny, she will tell you? ::Arielle left *what* it may be to hang in the air.:: Tell me about you, Commander. You have impressive career.

Dickens: Are you trying to keep me awake or you're using the chance that I'm weak to have a foot on me now that you can.

Teagan: I don't know, is there something you want to share with new Counsellor?

Dickens: A warning maybe... you'll ... have a lot of ... work there.

:: The falling sensation overcome him again, obviousely his blood pressure falling from the lack of blood and the extra work his heart was doing to keep his system running with less quantity of the life liquid in his veins. He starts to feel that he's breathing superficially what lead to more work on his heart. He tried to do some deep breaths to increase the Osigen intake and enrich his bloodstream but it wasn't an easy task, and more difficult when the shuttle began to move with evasive maneouvers that increased his nervousness. ::

Dickens: Is this another tactic of yours to keep me... distracted from the wound?

Teagan: Response

Dickens: Just... tell me that we're arriving to the ship... 

Teagan: Response

Dickens: Unfortunately... I think ... I'm fainnn....

:: He loosed his strength and downed in his own mind finding himself lying on a familiar floor. As he opened his eyes and looked in front of him he saw Kelrod sitting on a couch with a table in front of him. ::

Kelrod: oO Welcome friend, didn't thought I'll find you here in this situation. Oo

Dickens: :: Getting up :: oO What do you mean this situation Oo

Kelrod: oO Please take a seat I need to tell you something. Oo

Dickens: oO You're being more misterious than it's usual for you. oO :: Sitting :: oO Well, what's it. Oo

Kelrod: oO You're about to die, you know it right? Oo

Dickens: oO Could be, ... the fact that we're speaking suggest that we still have time. Malcolm or another doctor will do their best to safe our body. Oo

Kelrod: oO That if whoever that's attacking the rescue team doesn't blow all of you aside. And if you live, how'll you be, I mean, with the blood we've lost and the time we'll need to reach the Aurora... you think that Gilaars or Teagan could keep you alive 'till then? Oo

Dickens: oO I should trust that they do, and if they don't, well, that's life. Oo

Kelrod: oO The problem is how will we wake up. I personally won't like to have a brain issue that kept me in a chair or a bed. I'll prefer to die than that. Oo

Dickens: oO I thought that you'll be the first interested in living. Why that change? Oo

Kelrod: oO It's not a change, as you know I was a warrior kind of person, and before becoming a disabled people, I prefer the ones I care to remember me at full capacity and not being a weight for them or to be last remembered, unable to care of my self and the ones I love. Would you like to see Vojana having to take care of your body all her life? Oo

Dickens: oO If you put it that way, of course not, but we don't know if that will happen. Oo

Kelrod: oO And will you risk yourself to find yourself strapped to a bed or having to leave starfleet 'cause of your inhability to perform your tasks? Or to take care of your wife ? Oo

::DeBarres had the panel open and was running another scan, it appeared the
?virus? was completely gone, this was the fourth panel in 10 minutes and she
had not picked up a thing.  ::



oO(DeBarres) It will be nice to have Cmdr Barnes back on board, better than
that rock pile, but he had be fairly decent to her the last day or two, ?.he
was probably too busy to give him that much grief,?.. I?m sure that will
changeOo



::She put down the engineering tricorder, and reattached the panel, she
would check a few more, before heading down to her cabin, while she was
technically ?off duty? she wanted to get the work done, Barnes could veto
the entire project if Rock head would put in a bad report::



::DeBarres had felt the warp engines kick on, and they were underway after
getting the skiff   back on board.::



oO (DeBarres) About time, all this hanging about is just too boringOo



::She was closing up the last of the panels when she saw Eerie walking by::



Eerie: Specialist DeBarres, I have sent a copy of your proposal to Cmdr.
Barnes, but I think he will approve, good day.



DeBarres : Sir



::Eeire entered his quarters, it was strangely quiet,  and for once he was
uncertain on what to do, he had not been here except for a quick nap or two
in days, and now it seemed odd to be here::



oO I could use some sleep, but first a bit of down time, if they need
me?..Oo



Eerie: Computer, music?Carmina Burana? volume 3.5.



::The first music piece started, and it waffled through the shared quarters,
he went to the replicator, and punched in a code, he was tempted for a real
drink, but he knew despite the number of tactical officers on board that he
may be needed, so it would be different drink, of course it took massive
amounts of alcohol to just register on a Brikar, the only time was after
graduation  ::



:: A mug of green tea appeared and he picked it up, and took a sip, and went
over to the computer monitor, he seriously thought about renewing the 3-D
chess match, but it had been so long, he would restart it, but not today::



Eerie: Computer display any messages



::The computer displayed a number of the messages, all of them in  Starfleet
standard format concerning tactical and security concerns and reports, he
had handled what he could with Barnes out of the office, but the computer
now, with logging Barnes back on board had rerouted some of them, most of
them were routine information,  and he quickly changed the menu to pull up  a
Medical status:


(on the display)



Medical Status



 Blackwood, Evanna



RANK : Ensign



Status: Serious



No further information at this time.





oO Great (dryly)Oo



::Eerie changed back to the Starfleet standard screen, for a moment he was
at a loss::

 | ( Inside Dickens mind )

IC:

Kelrod: oO And will you risk yourself to find yourself strapped to a bed or having to leave starfleet 'cause of your inhability to perform your tasks? Or to take care of your wife ? Oo

:: There was an echo in the place that affected just some words, like strapped, inhability, wife, that made him doubt of his willing of succeed, plus having lived all the strange situations he'd lived it almost appealed him, as a relief from the problems and pain. He shook his ghostly head.::

Dickens: oO NO, ... I won't give up, not yet. It won't be that situation, if I have a chance to return to see those who I care I want it and I'll use it and if it came for the worse, then I'll reclude myself here and let my body die, but I'll try. Oo

Kelrod: oO But... Oo

Dickens: :: He stopped him mid sentence :: THERE'S NOT BUT... :: Kelrod smiled :: Now what the hell are you smiling to?

Kelrod: oO That's what I wanted to hear. It's been times in those years that I've had to take the rough parts of your life, in this situation I've wanted to know how will you face destiny alone, without your friends and facing someone who know you better than anyone. I see that you are able to make hard decisions and face destiny as it came. Listen... Oo :: there's a low mumble growing :: oO Seems that your friends out there are looking for you Oo

:: Marcus looked around as the voices become bigger, then there's a boom of light and he's out of his inner world, opening his eyes :: 

( Sickbay )

O'Hanlon: ::Approaching the biobed:: Commander, can you hear me?

Dickens: Seems so, ... but take that sun from my face.

O'Hanlon: Okay, good, good. ::He turned to the nurse.:: Will you fetch me a medical tricorder please? I'd like to take his stats myself before I continue...

McKay: Yes, doctor.

O'Hanlon: I'm just going to scan you now, Commander. Okay?

Dickens: Just do it, and be quick. :: Focusing his eyes, but the vision was stil blurring. ::

McKay: ::handing him the tricorder:: Here you are.

O'Hanlon: ::Taking the medical tricorder:: Thank you.

::O'Hanlon turned on the tricorder. He began scanning the Commander.::

O'Hanlon: Okay, looks like there's been a lot of blood loss. Hmm...

:: He could see him walking around to the other side of the biobed to look at the Commander's hand. He couldn't see his face but the body language told him that there wasn't good news.::

O'Hanlon: Nurse? ::He kept his voice a little lower than usual. he couldn't hear him, howeve when doctors lower their voices is a sign that there wasn't good news at all.:: 

McKay: Of course.

::O'Hanlon then turned to face the Commander.::

O'Hanlon: Sir, I'm sorry to tell you. But I need to prep you for surgery. We have to act quickly, I'm going to have to tend to your hand and tend to the amount of blood you've lost. I should tell you now though, there's a big possibility that you're going to wake up with this hand. I'll try my best, Sir.

Dickens: Doctor... my wife is a doctor too and if i've learned... something is that from your reaction and... tact in talking me I know there're bad news. My hand is bad, right?

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: I trust that you'll do your best, however I have to tell you something.

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: If the damage is so great that it'll become a useless hand or a deformed one, ... I want you to rip it off... I'll deal with a replacement later.

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: I'll take care of it later,... Don't feel bad, but I'll decide by talking with doctor Malcolm and ... my wife.

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: One more thing... I know you doctors prefer local sedation, but in case it came to worse, please, I prefer not to see or feel it, even if I won't feel it.

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: Thank you doctor.

:: He closed his eys as the nurse put him a neural inhibitor to control his brain and put him unconscious for the surgery. He knew that he'll probably wake up without his hand, but that was something he's beginning to make his mind up to it. ::

was the right one, DeBarres started to use her tricorder on it::

oOThese things are always just a bit different then the schematics Oo

::She scanned the deuterium microfusion propulsion system, and looked at the
read outs::

oO Starfleet...These things are so complex, typical star trek engineers, a
backup system for every thingOo

::She looked tricorder, it was certainly going a lot of work, she had
already received the information from her brother, but she wanted to get a
look at the actual device before she dove completely in the project. She
knew that a lot of the work would be done on the computer   before the
actual physical work, and she didn?t want to screw it up::.

oO If I make good scans I can create a holo program with all the different
design compounds, and do a test run in the holodeckOo

::DeBarres spend a  good amount of time with her tricorder scanning the
entire class one probe::

much time with everything that was going on, but they were due for some
shore leave and she was going to get some work done on this, but she would
spend the majority of her time in socialization and having a bit of fun.::

::She turned off the tricorder, and left the room and  headed back to her
quarters, it had been a long day, she would like to get a hold of Penny and

::Eerie had changed into his jumpsuit, and entered the Holodeck, he was sure
that Peiy was already there as there was a something of the wooded scene as
he entered. The temperature was not too bad, Eerie had done some research
and brought one of the few aged meat receipts that were from Brikarn
Prime.::

::Eerie walked up to an open area with some shade and found Ensign Peiy
sitting on a checkered blanket with a number of items around. Eerie quickly
noticed that he would be soon sitting on ground::

Eeire : Good day Ensign....I mean Peiy: :: It was not to be too formal, but
adjusting took Eerie some time to get the swing of things:. :

Peiy : Good to see you Eerie, how are you?

::Eerie suddenly went blank for a minute, but then the words came out::

Eerie: I am fine, Peiy, I brought a Brikar Prime speciality, I hope you like
it........do you mind if I sit down? :: Eerie stood there like a statue, but
managed to hand the food to Peiy. ::

::Everything that Eerie had planned to say vanished, hoping that Peiy could
start things off::

:: Peiy grinned with delight and received the food from Eerie. ::

Peiy: Of course Eerie, make yourself comfortable. ::Indicating the food::
How thoughtful of you... what is it?


::Eerie with a little difficulty managed to sit down on the blanket, next to
Peiy but hopefully not crowding her, he looked a bit awkward, but was
bearing up::


Eerie: It is an aged meat recipe of Targge,  quite good, I have had it only
on special occasions, I hope you like it :: He placed the container with the
rest of the food.: I have been reading up a bit on your homeworld, quite
interesting  but too much water for me.....


Peiy: ::Tipping her head to the side:: Oh? Read anything interesting?


Eerie : Do you have brothers and sisters, I read that normally there are big
family sizes?

oO(Eerie) I hope that is not too forwardOo


Peiy: Normally yes... unfortunately my mother was... unable to have other
children though she wanted to. What about you, do you have a big family?



oO Can I trust her, hmm...., we don?t usually ?.I guess....Oo

Eerie : I was raised as an orphan by an security detachment, it is a
tradition on  Brikar  Prime to take care of what is given to you, but I have
no information other than that.....Ensign, I mean Peiy...I don?t share my
information easily,:: oO There it is big guy Oo

::Eerie liked Peiy she was a fine officer, and what interaction he had with
her she would be a good person to know, but he was still nervous, dating was
not part of Brikar society, mates were arranged, he felt totally out of his
environment, he desperately wanted to talk about work, something he knew ::

:: Peiy poured a tumbler of juice for the two of them, handed Eerie the
larger of the two. She swirled the drink around in the tumbler watching the
pale milky colours swish around. She loved the faint coconut smell of it and
took a sip. ::

Peiy: So what was it like to be an orphan, and be raised by the security
detachment?

Eerie: Well...... I learned  a lot about security, and they were good role
models, But not much of a family life, but I knew almost everyone in the
province, not too much crime on Brikar....::Eerie took a long drink of the
juice it was quite good, he almost spilled it on his jumper::

Eerie: Peiy how did you choose Starfleet? ... Excellent drink...:: He was
starting to relax, but he really didn?t know were this was going, he feel
like his first day on Earth, having a good time but completely lost:


oO (Eerie)You are not supposed to talk about work, dunder head Oo

:: Peiy had wanted to learn more but Eerie had changed the subject. oOHe is
so fascinating, but you don?t have to learn everything at once. This isn?t
an interogation... Oo She took some of the meat Eerie had brought along and
tasted it as she considered his question. ::

Peiy: ::munching:: Mmm this is delicious Eerie, thank you. ::pause:: My
family hadn?t wanted me to join. I just felt it would expand my horizons and
teach me skills and let me spread my wings in a way no other career could.
What about you?

Eerie : I?m glad you like it ...Almost everything is family driven on
Brikar, so I could not join the Brikar Military Force and be a true warrior
?.I saw a starfleet officer in college, and I applied to the academy ...my
security family helped me ...

::Eerie stood up and put an hand down to Peiy::

oO (Eerie)I need to move, perhaps a walk. Oo

Eerie : Peiy let?s go for a walk, and tell some more about  yourself,  as
you see I am a pretty boring person, but ?.....::Eerie was at a loss for
words:: ?.but I am having a ...nice time.....::  His tone of voice had
dropped from his formal tone, and he could find himself nervous and relaxed
it was a strange sensation, a small smile appeared and vanished ::

:: Peiy took Eerie?s hand which was cool and felt like fine sandpaper and
hopped up, squeezing it before she let go. ::

::Eerie was totally surprised by the hand squeeze, she must have known that
she could never have crushed his hand, he had intended just to help her up,
but a strange another strange sensation::

oOWhat is that?Oo

Peiy: ::Smiling:: Come now, if I thought you were boring I would not have
asked you to be here today now would I?


:Eerie was totally confused, he wasn?t sure what was going on, but they
started to walk side by side in the huge meadow. Peiy loved the tall grasses
at the side of the meadow, they rustled in the gentle breeze. It was music
to her ears. :


::They walked for a while in silence, but  he would look over to Peiy from
time to time, who seemed to be enjoying the experience::



Eerie: Peiy, I am not used to a lot of conversation, ?::He had to admit that
he liked the ridge on her face::. ...so please bear with me.

:: Peiy looked up at Eerie taking in all the contours of his face. oO Could
have fooled me... Oo A small mischievous smile played on her face as she
casually let her fingertips brush against his hand, pretending it was
accidental. ::


::Eerie glanced over he felt her hand brush against his:;oO Is something
wrong?Oo

Peiy: You are doing fine. ::pause:: So... do you have any hobbies?

Eerie: I learned to like to listen to the Earth composer  Mozart in
Starfleet, I listen to it quite often, I should of gone to a live ...concert
while I was on Earth., ?.what about you Piey?

Peiy: I like Seraku. It is the art and discipline of growing small bushes
and trees into sculptures. Of course I only have room for one or two tiny
varieties on a ship like this. It is very high maintenance so I have not
taken it up on the Aurora. I tend to... concentrate more on my duties...

Eerie:If you attend to the trees like your duties I?m sure you have some
excellent trees....you will have to show me some time. ? I am starting to
get a bit hungry lets go a bit more and head back, if that is OK with you?

Peiy: ::Beaming:: Thank you, I?d love to show you some time.

:: Peiy took Eerie?s hand and tugged him back towards the picnic. ::

Peiy: Come on then, lunchie munchie.


oO Lunchie munchies?,must mean food, at least she is very good company. Oo

Eerie :OK....

::Eerie let her keep his hand he could feel the warmth in hers and they
walked back to the picnic area, it took a while but Eerie was in not hurry,
and for once in a long time, he had forgotten about what duties he had to
preform for a while. ::

:: Eerie and Peiy arrived back at the picnic site, and again he sat down
with trouble on the blanket. He could smell the food; sitting on the blanket
was a bottle, two cups and several baskets of food with the food he had
brought. ::

oO So far so good I hope Oo

:: Eerie watched as Peiy sat down next to him and started to get some plates
out one of the baskets. ::

Peiy: So what would you like to try first?

:: Eerie looked at the different assortment of food, it all looked good, but
he was not a picky eater by any measure and it all looked good. He looked at
Peiy who was sort of sitting to one side- to Eerie it looked awful
uncomfortable. To Eerie sitting was not natural but  he?d gotten used to it,
even if he didn?t like it::

Eerie: I?ll try some of that and :: pointing awkwardly :: that looks good
also...

Peiy: :: Passing a plate full of larger than usual sized portions:: Here you
go. The spring role is a curious thing but I quite like it.

::Eerie and Peiy ate in silence for a few minutes, while Eerie was still
nervous, there was something relaxing but exciting about it. ::

Eeire : Have you seen the new baby on board yet?

:: Peiy perked up. She hadn?t seen the baby, but who didn?t adore babies?
She was hoping to meet the little one soon. Truth be known she?d been
feeling a little lonely since hearing the news. Family was so important to
Bolians and it was difficult to cultivate relationships and grow your family
with a career like StarFleet. ::

Peiy: No not yet... Have you?

Eerie: Well, just a bundle of blankets ?....not really.



Peiy: What does she look like? I bet she was cute.

Eerie: It was tough to tell, most human babies look pretty much the same,
but Commander T?Lea has not brought her much yet.

Peiy: So what did they decide to call her? They must be so proud.

:: Peiy wondered how the Brikar viewed family and what their younglings were
like. Peiy was a bit worried about asking him in case he was offended by her
curiosity, which had often been attacked as prying. She continued to nibble
on different snacks as they talked, offering them to Eerie whenever she took
something for herself. ::

Eerie : According to the records, T? Sara.

Peiy: What about Brikarn families? What are your younglings like?

Eerie:They look a lot  like human babies before they develop the harden
skin, which develops as they grow up.


::Eerie was starting to get nervous, Brikar private life was that private,
he stuttered and then. ::

Eerie: Don?t terrans  have a celebration of sorts for the birth of a child?

Peiy: Oh. I don?t know...

Eerie: From what I understand it is a party of some type put on by the
females.

Peiy: Fascinating.

Eerie: Perhaps, you and some of the other women on board could throw a party
for her and the captain.

Peiy: I don?t know if something has been done or planned already, but I can
ask around. It sounds like a really nice thing to do.

Eerie : It would be a good thing to do, always good to have a good working
group particularly with such a small crew, I?m sure that Blackwood or
DeBarres would know what to do.

Peiy: I will try pin them down then to discuss it.

:: Eerie let the conversation fall silent for a few minutes, he was starting
to get restless, but he was enjoying Peiy?s company, it was this sitting
around that was bothering him, chairs were bad  but fully exposed was not
the way of the warrior. ::

oO What am I going to do now? We got the the eating part, and I would like
to spend more time with her, but I really don?t know what to do. I guess I
will just tell her. Oo

Eerie : Peiy ?.I have something to confess ?...::Eerie searched for the
words, but they did not occur to him so he stood up and looked down at Peiy.
::

:: Her face wrinkled up and became etched with concern, it was also very
unnerving having a big Brikar towering over you. She spoke softly trying to
appear more calm than she felt. ::

Peiy: Is there a problem Eerie?

Eerie: I don?t know, but I have to be up front with you. :: He could feel
himself shaking. ::

:: Peiy thought she saw Eerie tremble slightly... or was it her? She was
starting to feel a bit nervous and fidgety. In fact she was starting to
become really concerned that she had upset him. Was he angry? Was he shaking
with rage? She didn?t want a beating from a Brikar that was for sure. She
tried to play it cool but it was hard and she ended up stammering. ::

Peiy: If there is something wr... something you have to say... I prefer...
upfront...


Eerie:nervously:: I like you Ensign, ?..but ?...:: Again the words  came out
in drips and drabs. ::


Eerie : I?m not sure what is going on here, but I , I or Brikar don?t date,
or ?.:: He was getting flustered. :: things are arranged normally but.....::
Eerie seemed completely tongue tied :

oO (Peiy) So is that it? He does not know my intentions. Maybe I have
overstepped the mark. Oo

:: Peiy?s fretting went into overtime and she became quite tense, gripping
her sleeves in the palm of her hands. She had to fight the urge to start
addressing him formally again. ::

Peiy: I understand... you have an arrangement. oO Please don?t hate me. Oo


Eerie: Peiy ?.I have never dated before,  I would like to....spend
more......

:: Peiy perked up at that last bit. She wasn?t sure she?d heard right. Her
heart was beating so fast and loud she thought it could deafen herself and
Eerie. ::

Peiy: ::Looking confused. :: Sorry. I didn?t catch that... :: Quietly ::
What did you want to say?

::It took Eerie a long moment to gather the words but they finally came
out::


Eerie :What I am trying to say is that I would like to spend more time with
you. ?.There::Eerie let out a big gasp of air, he sat down again quickly
making sure not to sit on anyone or any thing, he grabbed a cup of juice and
took a glug, and looked confused. ::

oO (Eerie) This is as worse than and better than combat. Oo

:: Peiy thought that was the most tense and nerve wracking experience she?d
ever had. Her relief was immense and it took a few moments before she was
able to say anything to him. Once his words were absorbed she beamed with
glee and gave him the biggest grin. ::

Peiy: I am so glad you feel that way. :: Calming breath:: I am really
looking forward to it!

::Eerie was pleased to see the smile on her face, then what she had said::

:: Peiy didn?t really feel like eating. She had been getting full anyway but
after that awkward experience the last thing she wanted was some more food.
::


::They didn?t say anything for a long moment, he turned away for a second
then, Eerie turned toward her, and finally said in a quiet voice. ::

Eerie : Good...very good...
.

::He turned and watched the clouds roll by, and felt very relaxed, nervous,
scared, happy all at the same time, it was a new experience, something that
Eerie would be thinking about for a while. ::

:: Peiy smiled and watched Eerie for a while, he seemed to be looking up at
the clouds.   He was as impossible to read as ever. She hoped it would
improve in time.  Taking her  cue from him she  lay down on the grass and
watched them too. She hardly noticed the giraffes, ships, dragons and other
assorted creatures and objects sail through the sky as she took the
emotional roller-coaster and reflected quietly on their day. ::

:: They continued like that for some time and Peiy felt like she?d be happy
if they stayed there like that forever. To her it was a perfect moment and
she hated to have to end it. She sat up and played with her sleeves for a
minute, looking at Eerie who turned to face her. ::

Peiy: Eerie... we... we better get going I suppose...

Eerie: Of course, Peiy let me help you with some of this stuff.




::Eerie got up and started assisting in putting things away, the food and
the company was great, but he was kinda wishing that it would not end::

Eerie : Peiy, thanks for a wonderful time. We will be doing this again I
hope? : It was sort of a statement and question::


oO(Eerie) I hope that is not too forwardOo


Piey: :: Grinning :: Of course!

 | Lt. Cmdr. Dickens, FO, AURORA:  The final moment of a long pain
 | ( Sickbay )

IC:

:: It's been almost like a dream, a dream without dreams at all. This time there wasn't no inner world or Kelrod digging in, just blackness and then the light of the sickbay surgery room directly over him. He couldn't focus, but recongnized doctor O'Hanlon figure over him. Sounds began to make sense and he heard the voice of the doctor ::

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: Fuzzy... 

O'Hanlon/Malcolm/Anyone: Response

Dickens: How... re the rest?

Anyone: Response

Dickens: good... How it went?

O'Hanlon/Malcolm: Response

Dickens: mmm... I see... I was expecting something like that. :: He tried to move a little but could feel the invisible restraints nullifying his efforts. :: I think that you can turn off the field doctor.

O'Hanlon/Malcolm: Response

Dickens: I know, but I should look at it... I need to be used to it asap. Making it longer won't make it easier.

:: The doctors finally agreed to his petition and removed the force field. He was helped to sit and almost forcing himself he raised his arm looking through the invisible air where his hand was supossed to be. He looked at the almost invisible suture the doctor has made. It's quite plain that almost looked as if someone has made a slice on the bread, it doesn't matter how ready he was for that, the vision made him tremble even with his efforts to hide it. After a few seconds where he could hear the heartbeat rise he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. ::

Dickens: How long should I have to remain on sickbay?

Malcolm/O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: I see that my hands doesn't have the Bajoran features, you've used the chance to revert me to my own self?

Malcolm/O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: When possible I'd like to rest in my quarters. I'll feel better there and I'd like some privacy to make my mind up to this.

Malcolm/O'Hanlon: Response

(OOC: Feel free to add whatever you feel necessary. I'll answer. )

:: The doctors finally allowed him to leave sickbay, but was followed by a nurse in his way towards his quarters. He crossed a few crew on the way but none of them talked to him, probably 'cause of his attitude looking at the end of the corridor, or maybe by the company of the nurse. ::

( Dickens's quarters )

:: Once in his quarters the nurse gave him the final instructions on what to do and the appointment the next day to sickbay. As the nurse left, he moved to the replicator and asked for a glass of cold water. He took it with the right hand and turned towards the living room and sat sipping the water and feeling it refresh all of him. He moved a bit forward towards the table and tried to pick up the PADD lying there finding that he's still holding the glass and that there's nothing with what to pick it up, having to leave the glass on the table and taking the PADD with his now only hand. As he began reading his vision blurred again and he tried to focus on the letters and signs, but there's no way he could do it. The more the effort he made, the worse his vision was. A spasm run through his lungs that jumped over his throat and even as he tried to avoid it it came running up to his mouth while he was forced to close his eyes and abandon any hope of being able to read the PADD that his hand, his only hand was unable to continue holding as the strength to do it left him as if drained by an unknown entity. It's clear, his time has come, and it came as an unstoppable force that rushed through his body and has took control of it. He understood that there's no way in fighting that moment and he let himself go. A mourn left his mouth and what caused his vision to blurr rushed through his cheeks, rivers of tears flowed unstoppable and he began to cry suffocating it with the pillow on the sofa. He thought that at least it's good that this ship doesn't allow families as he could cry without worrying for Evanna seeing him this way. He cried until he's so tired that became asleep on the sofa, with his arm without hand hanging our of the sofa as if hiding from his tired and wet eyes. ::

 | LT jg Eerie - USS Aurora - meeting
 | ((Deck Seven-Conference Room B-USS Aurora))

::Eerie arrived as ordered at the conference room, it appeared that all of
the Security/Tactical Department was there, even DeBarres was there. Eerie
shot a very quick look at Ensign Peiy::



oO It was a nice time, I am looking forward to the next timeOo





::Eerie focused back on the duty at hand, a few of the officers were talking
before the Commander got things started::



Matthews: ::Looking to DeBarres.:: Lt. Matthews. Crewman?..



DeBarres: A pleasure to meet you sir ::She had to resist to put her hand up
and twist her hair::



Matthews: Pleasure to meet you. ::Sitting down. Looking over to Corsetto.::
Delvia, can I see you a little later after the meeting?



Corsetto: Response



Matthews: Thanks. ::Looking to Eerie.:: How are you doing Mr. Eerie?



Eerie: Thank you, Lieutenant.



::Eerie had reviewed the little run in with the Orion Ship, he would of
liked to be there, but it sounded like there was plenty of tactical officers
to take care of things he saw that Barnes wanted to get the meeting
started::





Barnes: Okay I'll make a start. After reviewing the logs and reports of the
last mission I have only one comment to make.


:: Eerie noticed the pause, he was sure that the Commander had a lot of
comments over the last operation::



Barnes: This is one of the best, no the best department on the ship. As
you've now doubt heard the rumours, there's to be a new ship. A Luna class
::Tapping the screen: As you can see from the specs she's tactically well
designed. In that vein, the following changes are being made.



oO(Eerie) A Luna Class!, this will be great, I will have to reread the
specifications and get use the layoutOo



Barnes: Alpha shift will as now be under my control along with Ensign
Matthews, Beta shift will be under the control of Lt Eerie, assisted by
Ensign Peiy, Gamma shift will be under the command of Lt Corsetto, assisted
be Crewman DeBarres, Lt Gilaars, will take command of the brig and armoury.



::Eerie took another look around the room, there appeared  be some exictment
in the room, DeBarres looked like she was going to celebrate, and he could
see a  small smile on Peiy?s face::



oO A shift of my own, well it is a startOo



Barnes: Okay next,  Lt Kagran. During alert situations I want your team to
assist in the following areas. Engineering, Bridge and main sickbay.





Barnes: Lastly, as I said at the beginning I've been reviewing the logs::
Removing the cover Barnes revealed a tray of drinks:: I'd like to take the
opportunity to thank you all for your hard work and dedication. Now
I've bored you all long enough, enjoy.



::Eerie wasn?t sure about what to do next as the rest of the tactical and
security officers, went to the drinks, so Eerie hung back for a while, and
when the table was clear he went over and picked up a drink and went over to
the side bulkhead and took a little sip, he just stood there as the rest of
the officers and crew talked in small circles, a few minutes Peiy came over
to him:





Eerie : Ensign Peiy ::He looked at her thinking of the wonderful Picnic::



Peiy:





Eerie: Ensign, I see we will be sharing a shift, I will be look forward to
it.





Peiy:



Eerie: Yes, a Luna class shift, I be looking forward to the upgrade, of
course, this ship has served us well.



Peiy:





Eerie: I was thinking that we should have a talk about sharing
responsibilities on the Beta shift, are you busy after this I thought we
could talk?



Peiy:





Eeire: I will look forward to it Eerie, I will meet you in a few minutes in
the Lounge and we can look at the specifications, Ensign.



Peiy:



Eerie::Feeling the room starting   to crowd around him:: Ensign, I have
something that I need to check on and I will meet you in 15 minutes.





Peiy:

 oO(DeBarres)There was the lug head himself, probably thinking up new things

minutes later during a quiet moment::



DeBarres : Commander, I am certainly happy to see you, that must have been a
rough mission.



Barnes :



DeBarres: You make is sound so interesting, ::slight blush, and there was a
minor change in her poise, a bit more open, but there was a formality in her
voice:: I want to tell you that I have been given permission by LT. Eerie

to read  my proposal for the Anti Energy Probe?



Barnes :



DeBarres : I haven?t done any modifications   on the probe, I am still

(Feel free to move the conversation pretty much anywhere you would like this
is basically an outline, or a start))

:: The stars streaked by the window, but Eerie was deeply engrossed with
specifications of the LUNA class starship, he was excited, this was a ship
with a complement of some 350 officers and crew, it was a major step up, and
while he had no other details he knew that there was one or two that had
been recently commissioned, but that did not mean they would get one of the
new ones of course::


Eerie was looking at a computer display, drinking a cup of Turkish coffee
when he noticed Peiy  sitting across from him::

Eeire : Thank you for coming Ensign, I had some ideas about the new
arrangement for our shift, would you like something to drink?

Peiy: No thanks sir.

Eerie : Is there any thing special that you would like to do, or suggestions
you would like to make?

Peiy: Nothing springs immediately to mind sir.

Eerie : We are going to have a lot more ground to cover with this size
starship, but I want us to continue to make inspections of the various
systems ourselves, I don?t trust readouts, and want us to do visual
inspections still.

Peiy: I agree, I prefer to do the manual inspections and have found it a
good way to pick up on trouble early.

Eerie: Excellant,  Ensign, I would like you to spend  about half your shift
on the bridge at the tactical station, I will spend about 60 percent of my
time on the bridge, there will be a bit of over lap of course.

Peiy: Understood. What other duties would you have me attend... other than
the inspections of course.

Eerie : If we do get the Luna Class starship, I would like both of us to be
familiar with all of its tactical systems both inside and out Ensign. I
think that and what ever Commander Barnes comes up with will keep us busy.

Peiy: Thats true...

Eerie : I think supervision of DeBarres would be a good thing, just keep an
eye on her project if the Commander keeps it going.

Peiy: I?ll have to see if he let her keep it on. Boy will she ever be gutted
if it?s cancelled.

Eerie : I hope she gets go keep the project.

Eerie : Ensign, I mean Peiy ?..I would again like to thank you for the
?picnic? I enjoyed that, I needed that, ?...thank you

Peiy: :: Smiling:: You are most welcome sir...Eerie... I look forward to
doing something else another time.

Eerie: We do have some shore leave, I would ?...::nervously:: like to spend
some time with you? ::Eerie was now staring at Peiy, he wasn?t sure why ::

Peiy: That would be lovely. Did you have anything specific in mind?

Eerie: Honestly, I ?...don?t....I perhaps we could take a look around,
perhaps we can take a ?.weekend trip to Earth together?

Peiy: That sounds nice. :: Peiy rested her head in her hands thinking about
where they could visit. ::

Eerie:Well, there are a few places I would like to visit, but please give me
some suggestions, lets keep it not the polar ice caps however...ok?

Peiy: ::Tapping her chin with her finger whilst thinking.:: You?re not a fan
of the ocean right? Do you like the quiet of outdoors? :: Peiy didn?t think
he seemed like a city lover, but she could be wrong.::


Eerie ::Yes, how about  the Appalachian National Scenic Trail* *in the
Eastern US,  it goes for hundreds of kilometers we could stay in some small
cottages that run along the trail. But if you had any ideas?

Peiy: Actually, that sounds perfect!

Eerie::Ok, well call it ?..........::he wasn?t sure but he wanted to:: a
date?

Peiy: Yes, great, I can?t wait. ::She could barely contain her excitement::


Eerie ::Not quite a nervous, but now thinking what he would say for a couple
of day: Thank you Ensign. I will looking forward to it., well.....::Not sure
on what else to say:: I will let you go Ensign, but ?......Peiy,  thank
 you.

Peiy: ::Nodding:: I will return to my duties.

:: Peiy patted Eerie?s shoulder gently as she passed him and headed out the
room. ::

Matthews: ::Looking to Barnes, and Eerie.:: Not really much to report, the
weapons inventory has been updated, the reports have been completed, and
some weapons training has been completed. Other than that a very quiet day.

Eerie:Agreed LT. Normal routine, I plan some routine realignment of the

Peiy: I have the report here on the systems checks as usual.



Matthews: I stand relived.

Eerie: How is Specialist DeBarres and her project the AEP?



Peiy: DeBarres checked in briefly. Her project is going well. I plan to meet
with her later in the week to go over the finer details and arrange the next
steps.



::Eerie watched as Matthews left the bridge, the did a strange wink with his
eye at Peiy::

 | LT Elya Tali &amp; LT jg Eerie - USS Aurora - Chess
 | (( USS Aurora - Observation Lounge ))

::Elya woke in a bit of a daze, a feeling of having overslept sending her
into a brief panic until spotting the time -- she had only managed to sleep
a few hours. Yesterday?s horrible mission was still fresh in her mind, but
putting Jalen?s death a few hours further into the past seemed to help...::

::She made her way around the ship, checking up on the state of things. The
bio-digital virus that had infected Evanna was taking up most of the ship?s
resources, but from most perspectives the ship was running smoothly,
hurrying back toward home. Elya supposed that the tactical types were busy
in meetings discussing what they had found on Farius Prime, but Elya had
little interest in that.::

::Rounding a corner, Elya entered the observation lounge. Her eyes first
wandered out to the streaks of starlight spreading out behind them, but
settled on Eerie who?s enormous stony figure was hunched over a
comparitively small game of 3D chess.::

Tali: Good afternoon Lieutenant.

Eerie: Oh, ?..huh, good afternoon Lieutenant. ::He had not seen the LT, come
up behind him, as he was focused on the game:

Tali: Taking a short rest after the away mission.

Eerie ::Eerie was not sure if it was question or a statement,:: Of course,
LT,   I hope it was not too difficult, from what I have read, it was a
success. ::Eerie voice was formal as always, this type of interaction was
always  difficult for him:: It was my first time on the short mission to
pick you and the team up it was quite interesting.


Tali: It was... successful I suppose. I think the cost was too high,
however.

oO(Eerie) She does not sound to be in a very good mood, but I?m sure the
actually away mission was a lot more stressful then what was going on board
the shipOo

::An awkward silence passed::

Tali: I believe I owe you a game of chess?

Eerie: Yes, I would be nice to play an individual....I mean yes Lieutenant.
...please sit down, would you like something to drink. Lieutenant? ::Eerie
quickly rearranged the pieces back to their starting positions::

Tali: oO Something strong would be preferred... Oo

Tali: Some juice would be nice.

::Elya sat down across from Eerie as he reset the game to a new board.
Elya?s eyes slowly drifted over the pieces, a few opening plays running
through her mind without effort.::

::Eerie got up and got two glasses of pineapple juice and came back and
placed one near the engineer, and sitting down with a bit of difficulty::

Eerie:  LT, you may go first, if you wish. ::Eerie had learned from the
academy never to take an opponent lightly::

Tali: It has been a while since I played, I have to admit.

Eerie: LT, if you need to think about something........focus on the game.

::Elya shot Eerie a small glare, but settled down and took the first move --
the traditional opening. A few minutes of play passed by in silence, Elya
playing defensively and protecting as much of her pieces and the board as
possible, until an especially complex position was left on the board.::

::Eerie also played defensively at least in the beginning starting to feel
out his opponents weaknesses, and seeing what tendencies she would employ.
But the aggressive nature that he used against the computer started to
show::

Eerie : Excellent LT. ::As he found that she would not go for a ploy::

Tali: Laudeans are not renowned for their patience, but in chess it seems to
suit me well.

Eerie: You are a good player, you seemed to pick it back up quickly

::Eerie moved his rook, hopefully to bait Tali, but of course he would give
it up for the king. which would end the game. While Eerie enjoyed the game,
it was the victory, which he had none against the computer, but he had once
gotten a stalemate.::

::Elya?s eyes wandered back out to the stars for a moment, half her mind
stewing over the next series of moves, but part of it still swelling on
Farius Prime, one of the distant specks of light in their wake. After taking
the rook, a few more moves passed before she frowned, realizing the mistake.
::

Tali: Hrmmm not quickly enough it seems. Well played.

Eerie : If you have not played in while it takes time to pick up again, but
you played well, you will do better.

::Eerie looked over at Tali, he did not know the engineer well, of course
that could be said for most of the crew, probably all of the crew except
Peiy and Blackwood, and that was a learning curve::

Tali: Let?s play again. Why don?t you tell me about what happened on the
ship while I was away? The reports are such a lifeless way to hear it.

Eerie: Well, we had a escaped Bajorian terrorist, and then we had the
Bajorian or Brotherhood virus infect a lot of the systems of the ship, and
two new crew members,  but I?m sure nothing that you had to deal with.
Lieutenant.

::Elya nodded thoughtfully. It seemed the Aurora had gotten into more
trouble than expected while they were below. Elya tried another opening --
something a little reckless, but that perhaps Eerie had less experience
with.::

::Eerie looked at the opening moves by the Engineer, it was odd, and for the
next couple of minutes Eerie played a more defensive game as he tried to
figure out what Tali was doing:

oO (Eerie) I am not sure what she is trying but I am slowly getting pushed
in a corner here, time to push backOo

::However, Eerie made a move that he instantly wish he could take back::

Eerie: Hmmm......

::Elya smiled slightly. Somehow it didn?t seem fitting for the large
ponderous Eerie to have such immediate second thoughts. She slid the attack
board down into position, her bishop targetting in at the opening Eerie left
unguarded.::

Tali: How are the new officers? I see I have a new Engineer, but I haven?t
been back to duty just yet...

Eerie: Yes, I haven?t really had time to meet him, and I have just been
introduced to the Counselor, but the new Tactical officer is an former
marine, with the attitude

Tali: Are there any games unique to Brikar culture?

Eerie: Well, LT. I played a form of rugby in college, just ?..just a local
team....pretty physical.

::Eerie was quickly starting to feel that this tactical position was failing
in the game, he focused hard on the next move, but it resulted in Tali
taking his bishop now leaving his king exposed::

::Elya nodded. Given that she?d seen the Brikar take light phase fire
without stopping, she imagined any Brikar sport must be pretty brutal
indeed. Elya considered the next few moves carefully, and soon it was clear

Eerie: Excellent game, Lieutenant.

Tali: A fun game. Thanks for the distraction, my mind has been stewing over
the away mission...

Eerie: Any time Lieutenant, we should have a tie breaker are you up for
another one. ::Eerie was already thinking of his strategy for the next game:

Tali: No, I think I had best get to Engineering and see about introductions.
We can call it even for now. ::smiling::

Eerie: Thank you, I will be looking forward to our next game. Remember you
did you duty,.....

 | ( Dickens's quarters )

IC:

:: Morning came and Marcus woke up feeling his eyes burning from the last night tears that dried in his eyes during the night. He had been relieved of duty by doctor O'Hanlon and oficially he can't take care of the ship, thing that was a bug eating him on one side and a relief in the other as he had time for himself. He took a shower, warming it until it's really hot. When he'd finished he moved out of the bathroom and selected some clothes to put on, as an electric blue T-shirt and a white loose pants, thing that proved a bit difficult with only one hand what almost brought back the feelings of the evening, but he managed to control them and thought that there was nothing to do at the moment so he has to move on. As he finished he made a call to Vojana to explain what's happened, however as he's about to ask for the connection he re-thought and discarded it focusing on reading what's the status of the ship. He did another call. ::

Dickens: =/\= Dickens to captain Vetri =/\=

Vetri: Response

Dickens: =/\= When you're free I'd like to have a word with you. =/\=

Vetri: Response

Dickens: =/\= I'm about to visit the doctor, is ok when I'm done? =/\=

Vetri: Response

:: Marcus exit his quarters and avoided passing by the bridge taking a turbolift discretely. As he moved down he thought about what the doctors will tell him. ::

((Sickbay))

:: After the surgery and being recovered a little, Marcus returned to sickbay for a visit with Dr. Malcolm. He knew that O'Hanlon was a good doctor, as he'd performed the surgery well enough to keep him alive, despite the loss of his hand that was unavoidable, but was more used and confident with the good looking doctor. As he entered sickbay he could see that the situation has eased after the high demand of the department with the Virus and treatment of the away team members. ::

::Jen looked up and greeted Dickens with a warm smile. She had been unaware of a scheduled appointment with him, but was not at all surprised to see him::

Malcolm: Commander Dickens. It's very nice to see you looking so much better. How are you feeling?

Dickens: Quite fine, but not used to being... shorthanded. :: Trying to smile ::

::She smiled and rolled her eyes good-naturedly::

Malcolm: ::chuckling:: oh dear?

Dickens: That's the best I can do right now, as I can't do anything about it. Humour is something good in those situations.

Malcolm: That's what they say.

::She closed the distance between them and carefully placed her hands on his arm, raising it so she could get a look at his surgical site.::

Dickens: So, how does it look?

Malcolm: Absolutely textbook. O'Hanlon did a fine job. I'm sorry you had to lose it, but I'm sure you know you won't be without a hand for long.  ::She patted  the biobed:: Have a seat and I'll take a closer look.

:: The doctor made the scans on his arm and looked at them for a few seconds. Marcus barely could see at the place where his hand was supposed to be so decided to look at the display on the wall. He could recognize  some of the elements, the bones of the forearem doesn't seem to be so touched and the nerves seemed to be all working. ::

Dickens: Diagnostic?

::Jen laid her tricorder aside and sat next to him on the biobed. She wasn't sure how he was adjusting to losing his hand ? but from his attempt at humor and the way he'd avoided looking at the wound ? she knew at the very least he was somewhat nervous. It'd be a while before she could fix the fact he didn't have his hand, but for now, she could at least try to put him at ease::

Malcolm: Well, we're definitely going to want to get you another working hand.

Dickens: Replacement, yes I was thinking of that too. What are your suggestions?

::She swung her legs, bouncing them against the side of the biobed and tried her best to keep her tone conversational.::

Malcolm: We have two options. We can grow you a new hand or fit you with a bionic prosthetic.

Dickens: Well, I think that it'll be best to have a hand of my own again, if it's possible.

Malcolm: This is what I would suggest. It'll take a while to grow you a replacement ? so we'll fit you with the prosthetic for the meantime. 

Dickens: I thought you'll suggest that. What kind of prosthetic, wouldn't it seem very artificial? Wouldn't be a problem later retiring the prosthetic and implanting the biological one?

Malcolm: It's your decision of course. There can be complications with the genetic replacement ? nerves can be tricky things. But we'll attempt it if you want. And, you might find you like the prosthetic. ::She patted his knee::  Either way, you'll be twiddling those thumbs again soon.

Dickens: :: He barely could fake up a smile :: Either way, you're right I guess.

::She smiled and hopped off of the biobed::

Malcolm: We'll get started on that for you. In the meantime, I'm keeping you off-duty. Please remember to take it easy.

Dickens: Well, being off duty has an effect on having things going easy.

Malcolm: Next time you see me I'll have a shiney new hand for you.

Dickens: Send me the catalogue, I'll choose one.

:: Malcolm moved off and he's left on the biobed when someone entered. ::

 | ((Shared Quarters))

::Eerie stared at the computer screen, he had heard of the Appalachian trail
but he had never been there, in fact he had only been away from the academy
with his academy class. But he had heard that it was good for hiking, he
scanned the records. His defeat of the chess game did not bother him too
much, he had learned from it, and he would be a better player despite the
loss. The wonderful picnic was still replaying in the back of his mind::


::While he had enjoyed the picnic, he was really looking forward to spending
so time with Peiy::

::Eerie heard the door slide open to the quarters::

::He felt the steps of Blackwood come up behind him, he turned to Ensign
Blackwood::

Eerie: Ensign, I am glad you are out of the sickbay, I hope you are feeling
better.

:: Blackwood deflated somewhat at the sight of Eerie, her smile faded and
vanished. ::

Blackwood: ::Sighing:: I am on the road to recovery again.

Eerie : I am sorry I had to carry you to sick bay but it was for your own
good, Ensign.

Blackwood: What do you want? A pat on the back? A medal? ::Pausing:: Take a
biscuit from the tin.

oO She is feeling better I can tell, a few more insults and she will right
as rain?...Is that the expression. Oo

Eerie ::Changing the subject:: I hope you are looking forward to some shore
leave?

Blackwood: I haven?t given it much thought. Do you have any plans?

Eerie: Peiy and I are going to do a weekend trip on Earth.

oO Even boulder buster can get a date... Oo

Blackwood: Bizarre.... Did you have that other thing then? Picnic was it?

Eerie: Yes, Ensign

Blackwood: Well! How did it go?

Eerie : It  ?.went well......I guess, she did something I?m not sure about:

Blackwood: Oh? Whats that?

Eerie: She, I mean Ensign Peiy, held my hand?

Blackwood: Well that is what people do when they feel affectionately to each
other. Problems with that?

Eerie: I..........No....::Eerie seemed tongue tied::  was it the right thing
to do..? oO Yes, it is true, he liked Peiy Oo

::The computer suddenly showed an incoming message, it was for Eerie to
report to the counselor after his next duty shift, he quickly scanned the
message and deleted it. ::

Blackwood: Well it seems that way to me... but... you seem really
uncomfortable with it...

Eerie: Evanna, I don?t ...I mean I ?.. I care for her....I have to go on
duty, ?

::Eerie stood up, and turned to Evanna but he did not move, he seemed to be
searching for something, but in some respects lost::

Eeire: I am in uncharted territory Evanna...



Blackwood: ::Heavy sigh:: oO You and me both Buster. Oo So whaddaya want me
to do about it?

Eerie: I like her a lot. ::The wind seemed to vanish from his sails. :: What
do I do now?

::Eeire was surprised he was confiding in Blackwood::

Blackwood: What? Do I look like an expert in dating?

Eerie: I would....forget it.....Ensign ::Straightening back up::

Blackwood: Well... it seems to me you already have your next date lined up.
What do I suggest? Roll with the punches....

Eerie: Thank you Ensign, you have been quite helpful. ::Eerie shut down the
computer terminal, he nodded at Blackwood as he left the quarters. ::

IC:


::Arielle entered Sickbay and Dickens looked at her, hoping that she'll just pass by or attend to other business. His hopes dropped when she adressed him.::

Teagan: Commander, you look much better than last time I saw you. How do you feel?

Dickens: Better certainly, doctors doesn't did a bad job. But it's hard to get used to be one handed.

Teagan: You tell me, I never tried losing a limb. ::Arielle watched him seriously.::

Dickens: Certainly it's not an experience I recommend you to do. It's hindering even the usual things everyone do.

Teagan: I don't see the reason for you to feel that way. I know lot of people who lost a hand even a leg and with bionic one live and work in Starfleet. ::Arielle watched him climbing on the biobed and despite the wish to help him, she steeled herself and let him do it himself.::

Dickens: :: He used his one hand and made a jump to get on the biobed again. :: I know and I plan to have one, it's just the time until then.

Teagan: Doctor O'Hanlon has some ideas. I asked him about it but he pointed me to the fact that you're due for appointment soon, so I decided to hear them with you, rather than stealing his time twice. 
If you don't mind me listen it with you, of course. If you want me to leave and let you to do it in private I can leave.

Dickens: No problem if that's what you wish. I've already talked with Dr. Malcolm, she suggested some options but as Dr. O'Hanlon performed the surgery he'll probably want to say a word on it.

O'Hanlon: Response

Teagan: Doctor. ::Turning to Dickens.:: I'll just sit here behind.

Dickens: So it seems that you've done a good job with this. :: raising his forearm ::

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: I've talked to Malcolm and she said something about making a new hand from me. 

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: You may want to perform the process, right?

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: Well, it seems logical to me. After all you've taken my hand so may want to give me another one. :: He doesn't mean to harm the doctor, however the frustration has to get our through somewhere. ::

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: I know, you did a wonderful job, the cuts and repairs where quite good. Seems as if you've done it before.

O'Hanlon: Response

Dickens: Then I was a good experience, next time you'll have a reference to decide how to proceed, don't you agree counselour? :: she turned to her seeking of what's her opinion on the issue to see the cards that she's holding over him. ::

:: After the meeting with the doctors Teagan was eager to know what's on his mind. However he had something else to do and need some time to face the counselour and her surely pointed questions. He moved up to the deck 1 and exit from the turbolift, rounding the bridge to the Captain's quarters. He hesitated a moment before pressing the chime but did it finally, waiting just a second before he's allowed entrance. ::

Vetri: Response

Dickens: Thank you captain, I hope I'm not interrupting you.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: ::Marcus looked around at the room, noticing it wasn't the usual he'd seen from other captains, probably due the fact that she has a child :: I thought you'll want to hear from me what happened on the last mission. Plus I'm interested in knowing what's on what we've found on the data Barnes and us retrieved.

Vetri: Response

:: Sitting on a couch he waited 'till the captain sat as well. ::

Dickens: We managed to enter the bunker and despite that we have to ruse ourselves as Brotherhood members we succeeded, at least in part and managed to get some insight on their organization. That base seemed a larger one than what they're used, and they don't know each other very well as we managed to fool them with some help, but. 

:: He stopped a moment to get some air and continued. ::

Dickens: They're... deficient in technology, but what they lack on that side they supply it with talent and suspicion on everything. They seem to not know everything but what's needed, this way if a cell falls, the plan can be modified to continue. We're lucky to find the help of an slave that helped us at the end. What's intriguing for me is the bio stasis unit we've transported that we couldn't have a look into. Maybe some of the data we get could get some insight onto it's content. Probably it's related to what they're planning against.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: I'm sure starfleet intel will find that interesting.

Vetri: Response

:: And there it was, the question he had expected. ::

Dickens: Good, the doctors are planning on making a new one probably soon.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: Yes, they've put me off duty and counselour wanted to have a chat with me. You know counselours, don't you? :: smiling a little ::

Vetri: Response

Dickens: I'm doing fine, that's just something that happens. We know what we're at when we signed for starfleet. At least I'm not dead, everything else is good enough.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: No, ... I still haven't told her. I prefer ... not to worry her for more time than necessary. If we approach to the starbase and she's there, I'll tell her as we're arriving. I'm more concerned for you.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: :: The surprise attack worked as she asked :: I'm off duty by medical, despite that I could still do things, so who'll be acting as FO while I'm out. Barnes? T'Lea is still off duty too, right?

Vetri: Response

Dickens: He managed to get out of that bunker by himself, so he's quite capable of doing it.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: Maybe the doctors are right and until I don't have my other hand I'm ... useless... or trashy. Anyway there are things that needed to be done while I'm... out.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: Who's now, my captain or the former counselour asking?

 | ((Bridge - Beta Shift))

::Eerie checked the tactical board one more time, there was not change, now
with Cmdr. Barnes back and the addition of LT. Matthews he work load had
decrease significantly  but it had given him the opportunity to check on
things first hand,.::

::Eerie had not heard much from Peiy lately, and she had been unusually
quiet even for Peiy, he hoped everything was fine, he would talk with later
hopefully ::

::Eerie scrolled for through the data from the long range scanners, there
was some vessels in the area, but none of them presented any threat to the
AURORA, and there was nothing in the flight characteristics about any
concerns, the bridge activity was like to the lull after the storm, he was
thinking about what had happened since leaving Starbase 23:

oO Let?s see on the profession side, run in with an Orion Ship, Brikarn
Patrol Craft,  being boarded by the Orions, Bajorian terrorists, strange
devices aboard the ship,  virus aboard the ship, rescue of the away team,
new crew members and a baby, interesting to say the least.....and perhaps
the most important, having the CONN for  little while, probably won?t happen
with a crew of some 350, if the rumors are true Oo


::Eerie paused for a moment, remembering what Teagan had said to him, and
his counselor from the academy:

oO Come on Eerie, let?s look at the other end of the spectrum, you have
started to develop some friendships, a couple...Peiy....it was a wonderful
picnic, what a nice female, I?m not sure were this going but  I have really
enjoyed the time with her, and I can?t wait to have a couple of days with
her hopefully ?..I don?t know about Blackwood,  one minute she is nice, then
the insults start to flow. If anyone needs a time counselor, and a medical
team following her, it is her, they are probably both good for you
blockhead, but you need to branch out moreOo

::Eerie reflected  on this for a few minutes, and focused on  the  bridge
operations which were humming along like the last weeks had never occurred::




oO You really need to get out of your cabin more, you spend most of your off
time, on duty or in the cabin, except for the chess game and some hikes on
the holodeck you still need to get out moreOo

oO Interesting officer,  good pilot, don't know anything other that his

and it is very important.

Vetri: Certainly. What's the issue?

Matthews:  Ma?am may we speak in private please?



Vetri: If you think it necessary.

Vetri: Anything exciting out there I need to know about?

Eerie: Nothing out of the ordinary, just increase ship traffic, most ships
are giving us a wide berth, not problems, Captain.

Vetri: How about the Veter? Did they make it to their patrol from the
Starbase okay?

Eerie: I recieved confirmation from Brikar,, they returned safely, and  it
appears the Klingon and Brikarn Prime relations are on a positive note,
according to new reports both Klingon and Brikar, Sire.

Vetri: Goo to know... and I haven't forgotten what their captain said about
a present or two. Whatever it is, it's in a big box.

Eerie: Hmm.

vetri: I checked once I knew we weren't heading to SB23. I've arranged for
it to be shipped to meet us, so hopefully the suspense won't last that much
longer.

be that big, don't have a clue about the second item, Captain.

Vetri: Whichever one you pick, I'm not going to walk away if I can help. ::smiling softly:: Simplest way to get me to stop bugging you is to answer the question. So, do you honestly believe you're no use to anyone right now?
 
Dickens: Maybe not no use,... but certainly I'm hindered and that off duty resolution only make things worse. But they're somehow right, as FO I need to be able to do whatever's needed and that's not the case right now.
 
Vetri: Oh, for... ::shaking her head:: Marcus, you've lost a hand. Bad, yeah, and I'm really sorry it happened. But it's not everything. You've got a damned good mind under that haircut of yours, and *that* is far more use to this ship, this crew. You may be off major duties, but that doesn't stop you *thinking*, does it?

Vetri: Okay, I'll drop it. For now. You're not going to just sit in your quarters and brood about it though.
 
Dickens: That's sure, there'll be no time until I'll have that counselour of us calling at my door.
 
Vetri: ::nodding:: Okay, good. Whether you believe it or not, she'll be able to help. And Marcus... call your wife. She probably won't like hearing it, but she needs to know, and you'll get each other past this together.
 
Dickens: You think? She'd had a very hard time when she loosed his legs and it took her a lot of time to accept the new ones and use them properly, I think that she'll get this as a bad memory hitting her. But well, you're the expert on that.
 
Vetri: Gods, no. I'm far from an expert. But I *do* have a lot more experience in this sort of thing, and most of the time it worked out.
 
:: With a slight movement, she tapped her abdomen over where her symbiote lay, making sure he knew exactly what she meant.::
 
Dickens: Ok, I'll think about it, but if it goes wrong it'll be your fault!! :: He said that trying to sound humorous, but wasn't sure he'd succeeded. After that he left the quarters heading towards his own. ::

DeBarres: Computer, save to private library as DeBarres file 01c::



Computer : File saved



::DeBarres took the data crystal, and shut down the terminal, she wanted to
talk to Peiy about getting back in the Holodeck as soon as possible, she
wasn?t going to let her mope about, time to try it again::



::DeBarres left the lounge, and headed down to her quarters, time to get
some of her favorite relaxing clothes on::

: DeBarres and Peiy entered the Holodeck, and DeBarres went over to the
control panel::

DeBarres :: Computer run DeBarres program 01c, freeze program and give us
two standard hand phasers type 01, stun only, safeties on.

::DeBarres took the phasers and handed one to Peiy::


:: The  computer created a wild west town, with town folk frozen, they were
standing in front of a long  dirt street with shops and buildings on both
sides of them::

DeBarres:: Peiy what is something that you don?t like, has to be pretty big;

Peiy: For me it is the Jem?Hadar

DeBarres::Computer, program bad guys as Jem?Har

Computer : Comfirmed, how many would you like? 14

DeBarres :: looking at Peiy :: This is not like the program Matthews ran, we
have to clear out the town, but it is not going to be hard, but we can not
shoot any of the town folks, as we are the new marshals in town ::smiling,::

oO (Peiy) Marshals? Oo

Computer:: run simulation, normal speed

DeBarres: look at the environment and try to pick up on sights and sounds
and peoples expressions, they will tell you a lot, be part of the
environment ::Giggles:: This is going to be fun, I can? wait.


Peiy: ::Smiling uneasily:: Well, if you say so.

::DeBarres and Peiy started to walk down the dusty street, and coming out of
the general store was a six foot teddy Bear, with a phaser::

Peiy: What the frak is that? I don?t know whether to cuddle or shoot it! I?m
confused.

DeBarres : Shoot! ::Laughing:: Come on!
Peiy: I feel evil... Thanks a bunch. Who?s the baddies now?

:: Peiy lifted her phaser and pointed it at the too cute teddy. Agonizing
moments dragged out, but she shot it before the killer carebear could shoot
her. ::

DeBarres : Computer, freeze program :: The town stopped dead in its tracks

DeBarres : This is my a version of my first phaser program on the freighter
when I was about 10, I was so scared but I learned that opponents could be
anything, and if you could shoot your favorite item, that the real baddies
would be a piece of cake.

Piey: ::Laughing:: Well that's a good way to think about it!

DeBarres:: Come on mate, 13 more lovable teddy bears to go, and they get a
bit harder as we go, but perhaps some Jem Har  other day!

DeBarres : Computer run program

:: Peiy grinned, it was kinda serious but kinda a game too. She tried to
follow DeBarres advice about minding the environment.

::They walked down the street and there was a creak of a door, and DeBarres
aimed but a little girl came running out across the street, she was
terrified, as a huge rolly polly teddy bear came out after her and DeBarres
shot and killed the teddy bear::

DeBarres : One for me! ::smiling, there was another door opening on the
other side of the street, and Peiy turned::


::Comming out of the sheriff's office was a large white teddy bear with a
phaser rifle, looking the other way. Peiy zapped the teddy before it even
knew what hit him.::

Peiy: Hah! Got it.

DeBarres : Good shot Tex!, Computer: Ten gallon hat on Peiy::

::A large hat appeared on Peiy, it was quite comical::

Peiy: ::Laughing:: Whats with the wonky hat?

DeBarres: Just what they wore, on their heads as a cowboy!

::They continued walking down the street, and they continued to rack up the
dead teddy bears:: When they came to the last house on the street::

DeBarres: We have to go inside of this one.

Peiy: Lets go get them!

:: Peiy was quite enjoying the experience and DeBarres was fun in a team. ::

DeBarres: I will go in but you watch my back, Ok?

Peiy: Right then

::DeBarres pushed the door in staying low, the only light coming in was from
the sun streaming in the house, Peiy followed, there was a stair case, to
the left and Peiy motioned to stop and put her hand up to her ears, Peiy was
standing closer to the stairs, and heard the noise of something coming down
them,::

:: It was a small noise and then it stopped:

DeBarres : you take a look, I will follow you.

Peiy: OK

::Peiy started up  the stairs, but the sound retreated to a back room, as
they came up the stairs. There were two bedrooms and it appeared that both
doors were open::

DeBarres:: quietly :: go low and be careful.

Peiy: Sure, okay.

::DeBarres crouched down and moved up against the wall only to slowly look
inside , she could see a large 5 foot bunny rabbit sleeping on the bed, and
then it got up and said:

Large Rabbit : What?s up Doc!

Peiy: Woah!

:: Peiy was really surprised, but there was a lesson in that too. She
quickly and confidently dispatched the rabid rabbit. ::


DeBarres looked at Peiy who looked like she could take on the entire Romulan
Empire, with a hand phaser and smiled::

DeBarres: I am so proud of you, you did great,  you will have no problem
next time ::A huge smile appeared on her face:: that is the last one! it is
over!

Peiy: Thanks... that really helped. You?re a good friend.

:: Peiy reached out to give DeBarres a big hug., knocking the hat off her
head:: DeBarres gave her a big hug back::


DeBarres:: End program :: The black and white of the holodeck re appeared::

DeBarres :: Peiy, you are a great friend, and we will make it a bit tougher
next time, but you will do just fine, just remember big teddy bears
::Smiling::

Peiy: Yeah. Well, I hope so anyway.

DeBarres : Still smiling ::  you just have to tell your self, you will be
fine, and you will, you will rack up raiders left and right next time::

 | Lt. Cmdr. Dickens, FO, AURORA:  A long due call
 | ( Dickens's quarters )

IC:


Teagan: Just one more thing. ::She paused with a serious face.:: Get out of that room and talk to people. You need it as much as they do. ::Smile and turn around leaving the doors to close.::

:: Marcus stood in the room thinking of her words, curiously very similar to what the Della told him so after a few minutes he did the call he'd been posposing. As she accepted the call he took air deeply. ::

Vojana: Darling, how glad you have called.

Dickens: Hello my love. How're you doing?

Vojana: Quite well, I've been told that you're returning to Sol, so I came to see you. How's your last mission? 

Dickens: Not very bad, it could have been worse. We've had to infiltrate the Scarlett Brotherhood and had some problems for and from us.

Vojana: At least you've returned alive and safe.

Dickens: :: Sighing he decided he need to tell her and came with a way to say it. :: Yes,... well mostly but I think I forgot something there.

Vojana: Forgot? what?

Dickens: I don't know 

:: he said shrugging and crossing his right arm over his chest and putting his left arm upwards as if catching his chin while thinking. Obviously he couldn't get is due the lack of his hand that Vojana was being aware at that moment. ::

Vojana: Where's... ?  What.. ?? How?

Dickens: Sickbay, a falling wall and seems that I tried to stop it from falling with a single hand. Fortunately it wasn't my good one.

:: Seeing his face and almost smile she knew he's doing an effort not to show how it hurted him. She tried to ease the mood despite the situation

Vojana: How it was? You're jealous of my legs?

Dickens: You could say that... I think that after this we'll be the perfect couple...

Vojana: We weren't?

Dickens: Don't fool me. :: He stared at the screen not sure how to follow. Fortunately Vojana could almost read him by his expression. ::

Vojana: How're you coping with it?

Dickens: Almost as good as you. But I have two pain in my back that doesn't leave me. I could deal with one, but the other is more difficult to avoid.

Vojana: Who's it?

Dickens: Della, the captain. It's in her as she's former Counselour, so she doesn't do counseling to me, but at the same time she does. She convinced me to call you as I wanted to wait to be on the Starbase.

Vojana: Why? why didn't you told me right away?

Dickens: It's 'cause... because I love you and I don't want to see you suffering remembering those days.

Vojana: Yes, but that's what I promised when I married you, on the good and the bad things. Now it's your turn to receive bad thing, so allow me to help you like you did to me before.

Dickens: From all the people that's digging on me, you're the one I can't refuse, drive away or scold for doing it.

Vojana: You poor of even trying. Listen, as I heard of your ship coming I picked up a transport that was going there too. Good to still have some friends I'm over the Silver Bow, a courier ship that was heading towards Sol system. I'll see you there once you arrive, then we can have a talk over it and some time together.

Dickens: Sure. Once we've spent time I want to introduce you to the captain. I think you'll find her interesting.

Vojana: You think? I've seen a lot of strange things so don't expect me to be surprised. What she has so special?

Dickens: Well, I don't know if callign it special, but considering that it's a joined Trill, woman, that has married T'Lea my former Chief Science and that both just had a child together... the rest you'll find it by yourself.

:: Both continued talking for a few minutes and promised to spend time together. After that he realized it's time to eat something and after looking at the replicator for some moments he decided to go to the mess hall and try to follow the Counselour and Captain suggestions. He didn't know if it'll work, but at least he'll give it a try.::

Anyone: Response

OOC: Ok, I'll release Dickens from his confinement in his own sorrow, at least for some minutes. Will anyone find him on his way towards the mess hall? What will you tell him?

 | ((Ready room))

::Elya slipped into the ready room, still a bit sweaty from the phaser
test in the holodeck.::

Vetri: Well, that was certainly an eventful mission, wasn't it?

Barnes: It was interesting to say the least.

Blackwood: It certainly was.

::Elya glared at everyone involved. It was too casual a way of saying
what had happened on that miserable planet.::

Vetri: From what I've been hearing from Command, it was worth it.
::rising from her seat:: Anyway, time for the next item on the list.
In this case, I hope you all know where to find your dress uniforms.

::Elya nodded to herself. At least something useful had come out of it
all. Dress uniforms was a more curious request -- weren't they
supposed to go on shore leave?::

Barnes: Don't tell me that the brass are coming to thank us personally ??

Vetri: We have a few things to attend to, and they're pretty much a
formal event, so... Tomorrow, noon. Holodeck 1. ::smiling:: It might
even be fun.

Anyone: ?

Teagan: Is it fully formal or...

Vetri: ::nodding:: We're not going to be alone on this one, so that's
a definite yes. Which reminds me, we need preparations made for a
visiting Admiral. I doubt he's planning to be here long, but I'd like
us to put on a good show for him regardless.

Barnes: I was actually.... I'll have security on standby along with
our marine unit, I'd like a list of who's coming aboard if possible
ma'am.

Vetri: Okay, anyone got anything else?

::Elya kept her mouth shut. She had plenty of work to do getting the
Aurora back into service, especially with the scraped the waverider
had taken. They could find someone at the Starbase to worry about
parties and Admirals. She idly glanced from person to person at the
table, trying to decide who would look the most ridiculous in dress
uniforms.::

IC:

::Marcus moved through the corridor towards the Mess hall thinking about the conversation he'd had with his wife. He missed aside from her to have a true friend on the ship like C'elest Moranta or Devana Franks, two persons with whom he'd been able to help openly, even Ramirez will be a goo friend to talk with. However he'd been little time on this ship and now that he's FO he felt more isolated from the rest of the crew, maybe for his own sake. The moment she passed round the corner she almost stepped on Dickens but Marcus stopped her before colliding.::

Teagan: Sir. It's good to see you out of your... *retirement place*. You're on your way to sickbay or missed mess hall entrance?

Dickens: No, this time I'll let the doctors in peace, but yes, I was thinking and could have lost myself on the way.

Teagan: I'm on my way there, I need a tea. ::Arielle almost escaped the thought, but she recalled Dickens being telepathic, so she purged her mind of the recent encounter and everything related.::

Dickens: :: catching that she's shielded herself from some embarrassing thought he choosed not force it. :: Please lead the way, I need a tea too but no counselling this time, right?. ::

( OOC: will end this conversation later )

( Time later )

:: Marcus had enjoyed the talk with the counselour out of uniform and was now reviewing some status reports of the ship when the call of the captain was heard. ::

Vetri: =/\= All hands, this is the Captain. Prepare stations for docking... ::smiling:: and welcome to Mars. =/\=

:: He sighed and there was no time until another call was made. ::

Vetri: =/\= Vetri to senior staff, once we're docked, I'd like everyone in my ready room. We've got a few things to cover. =/\=

((Fast Forward, Ready Room))
 
:: Running over a few reports, and dressing in duty uniform, she nodded to everyone as they arrived then. When doctor Malcolm arrived he asked her for a second. ::

Dickens: Doctor, I want to check something with you before you say nothing to me. I'd like you to review my condition to put me on duty again. I've decided that until you grew one, I'll go with a prosthetic hand to help me.

Malcolm: Response

Dickens: I'll visit you on sickbay once we finish the meeting, ok?

Malcolm: Response

:: Once the group had gathered, set the padd down and looked around.::
 
Vetri: Well, that was certainly an eventful mission, wasn't it?
 
:: The first response to that came from T'Sara, and Della tried hard not to consider the baby's loud burp as some kind of editorial comment...::
 
Barnes: It was interesting to say the least.

Blackwood: It certainly was.

Matthews: It was more than that ma'am. It was not just a job, but an adventure
 
:: In the interests of keeping a straight face, Della kept her attention away from what her daughter was doing, instead giving Evanna a nod of agreement. Marcus couldn't agree at the moment but decided not to say anything on that regard. ::

Teagan: Are we required to stay aboard till the ceremony or we can go and return for it? ::She sighed again looking at T'Sara.:: I have a little boy who just undergo drastic change in his life and not knowing of the formal event you plan for us tomorrow I let him come with my mate to pick me up. They should be docking with us any time now.

Dickens: From what I know a shore leave it wasn't declared, is it captain?
 
Vetri: Response

Teagan: Network of teleporter relays can bring me here from my home in Brazil within 2 minutes. They are here because of my luggage, mostly my pet Fluffy who always feels sick after use of teleporter.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: I think that the transporter network could have a problem to be used this way, lot of papers, authorizations and clearances. Howeve I think that we can dispose of our class 8 shuttle and she could test it's performing in planet atmosphere.

 | ( Sickbay ) 

 

IC:

:: Marcus entered in the doctor's little world and didn't have to spend a lot of time to find the doctor checking onto something. ::

Dickens: I'm here doctor.

Malcolm: ::looking up from the PADD she'd been reading:: Oh, good.

Dickens: I thought that after all I'm not that bad. The counselor and the captain can be pretty insistent.

Malcolm: A double dose then, huh?  ::she smiled::

Dickens: Well, that and a little kick in the you-know-what from my wife. So I decided that it's time to return to work, the counselor could treat me while I do something profitable, of course if you don't have nothing against it.

Malcolm: Absolutely not. As long as you aren't experiencing anymore pain. How's the arm feeling?

Dickens: Doesn't feel bad, a bit itchy but I'm getting used to it. You can check.

::Jen waved him over to the nearest biobed.  She took her arm in her hand and checked the surgical site. It was healing nicely, which meant they should be able to move onto the next step. She took a tricorder and ran it over the area::

:: A few minutes passed and the doctor looked at the scans with interest, Marcus couldn't avoid willing to know what the doctor was thinking but restrained himself from a full reading. ::

Dickens: What's up doc? Something wrong?

Malcolm: I think we're ready for your next surgery.

Dickens: A new surgery? What's wrong?

Malcolm: ::patting his shoulder:: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. Your prosthetic is ready, and from what I'm looking at here, the site is healed enough for us to attach it.

Dickens: You already have one? Can I have a look?

Malcolm: Certainly. Ensign Davies has been working on it almost non-stop. Come with me.

::She led him back to the lab. Ensign Davies nodded a hello to the commander, and knowing why he'd come, took the prosthetic hand from the sterile storage container for him to see::

:: Marcus looked at the piece, very neat, almost real, with slight imperfections that denoted to a careful observer that it wasn't natural, but enough to pass in the day to day. ::

Dickens: And you say you can implant it now? How long will be the recovery? And the adaptation?

Malcolm: Recovery from the surgery would only be about half a day. You'll need physical therapy to learn how to manipulate the prosthetic which could take months. It all just depends on how quickly you get used to it.

Dickens: Months... that's a bit too much, but if it's the best you can give me I'll take it. How soon can we start?

Malcolm: I don't see why we couldn't do it right now. ::She looked to Davies:: Are you available?

Davies: Sure thing.

Malcolm: ::to Dickens:: What do you think? Are you ready now?

Dickens: No time like the present. Plus this way I'll be able to attend to tomorrow ceremony.

Malcolm: ::nodding:: I have to get the surgical area prepped, and I'd like to see if O'Hanlon would like to assist. Give me a little time, then we'll get started.

:: Marcus nodded and moved to a near replicator next to the doctor's office and ordered a Raktajino. It wasn't his usual drink but he thought that the moment deserved it. As he drank he thought of the long time he'll need to get used to it, but if they don't transfer to a new ship he'll request the change in destination to be with his wife and recover properly. It wasn't long until the doctor came back so he finished the drink and recycled the glass going to the surgery room and sitting in the biobed waiting for the doctor's orders. ::

 | JP Lt.Cmdr. Dickens  Lt. Malcolm, Aurora: Lending a hand ? Part 2
 | ( Sickbay )


IC:

::The doctors moved around the biobed, getting equipment prepared for Cmdr. Dicken's surgery.  There seemed to be a pile of hardware, some looking more like engineering equipment than medical tools::

::Jen re-checked the sterile field she had set up, and pleased with its status, turned back to Davies.

Malcolm: Well, I'm excited. I've never done one of these before.

::Davies raised his eyebrows dubiously, but stayed silent::

::Now they just needed their patient::

Dickens: Seems that you have a lot of things for me.

Malcolm: We're all ready for you, Cmdr.

::As he climbed atop the biobed

Dickens: How will it be, general anesthesia?

Malcolm: No need to knock you out. Just lie back and relax.

Dickens: Well I think I can cope with it this time, you don't mind If I don't look right?

::Jen took an osetotractor and placed it over his arm to immobilize it::

Malcolm: We usually use these for setting broken bones, but it'll work to keep your arm still.

Dickens: Yes, it'll be better, more if it takes time for you to finish.

::Jen removed the dressings from his surgical site::

Dickens:  I see that the engineering had done a pretty good job creating this.Hope it feels as good as it seems.

::While Jen worked Davies prepared the prosthetic hand::

Dickens: Here comes the nasty part. 

::He looked up and distracted himself looking at Davies that was giving Jen what she needed and looked back at Jen whose sight was concentrated on the task. He thought that she was a beautiful woman and remembered his profile wondering how was that a man doesn't do anything to retain her as wife, but thought that people tend to be different in his personal life than while at work. Jen bent over Dickens' arm and removed the autosutures. Davies carried the prosthetic over to the biobed.  They put it in place and Jen covered Dickens' arm with a bioregenerative field so his skin would adhere to the new hand.  She initiated a second sterile field to prevent any infection. Dickens also looked at Davies and was surprised by the blue eyes of the ensign that certainly could help him dating womans. He wondered if he could have tried something with Jen. Those thoughts of Marcus distracted him enough that before he realize it Malcolm give him the news that she'd finished.::

Malcolm: Now we just have to wait a little bit.

Dickens: Just wait... I think I can do that...

::They waited as the machines and Dickens' own body did their work.::

Dickens: I feel an odd sensation in my forearm.

Malcolm: That should about do it.

::She removed the bioregenerative field and inspected the prosthetic hand::

Malcolm: Cmdr. Dickens, why don't you try wiggling the fingers?

Dickens: I could try... :: Marcus took a deep breath and began to think of moving them, this time looking at his new hand attached to his forearm. She watched the slow movements, encouraged to see he had control over it. Marcus on his side felt a strange sensation of joy and sorrow 'cause he had a hand, but it wasn't his own.::

Malcolm: Very good. It'll take some work getting used to it but we'll help you with that.

Dickens: Anything helps, it's an amazing job you two did here. Give my thanks to the engineers that did this. ::raising his new hand.::

::They helped him sit up and watched as he flexed the hand::

Malcolm: Let's see if you have a full range of motion.  Rotate your wrist.

Dickens: Let's see how it works. :: His hand waited a few seconds but it started rotating to the left and then to the right. It stoped two time in the move but it's better than not having one.

Malcolm: ::nodding:: Very good, indeed. ::She held her hand out to him and waited for him to place his own in hers::

Dickens: :: He looked at her hand, knowing that it's another test more than just a friendly gesture. 

::Jen felt the fingers of the prosthetic press against her own, and after a few attempts she felt them close around her hand. She smiled as she shook it. Marcus felt glad just with that move.::

Dickens: Doctor, you don't know how important that is for me. Thank you a lot.

:: Almost without thinking he motioned towards her and give her a hug that he kept for some seconds, then he moved back and turned to doctor Davies too, giving him a hugh too. A sngle tear run through his cheek but this time was one of joy. At least Vojana would not see him without the hand thing for what he's grateful. ::

 | LT jg Eerie - USS Aurora - arriving early
 | ((Shared Quarters))


::Eerie got his dress uniform on he was pretty sure that it was a noon, and
he wanted to get ready before Blackwood took over the shower, the news that
the Captain had formally been promoted to Captain was great news,  He
finished with his uniform , Eerie took another  final look at his formal
uniform, it was binding, and he did not particularly enjoyed wearing it::


oO Formal Dress!,...... wonderfulOo


::Eerie exited his quarters and headed to the space dock::

((Utopia Planita's Holodeck ))

Eerie arrived at the Holodeck, the scene was a lot of small tables and
chairs, there was a long table, a few crewmen were setting things up still
with the food, and there was a starfleet podium in front of a large open
area, A security team was milling about, getting things ready and checking
their uniforms::

oO( Eerie)Great, I am the first officer of the crew to arrive, I guess I
will just wait here till the ceremony get startedOo

::The arch opened and a tall terran woman entered, Eerie could see captain?s
pips on her collar, who came over to him::

Turner: ::Extending her free hand:: Good afternoon, Lieutenant. I'm Captain
Toni Turner of the Embassy, Duronis II and the USS Thunder. It looks as if
we are in for quite a festive day.

Eerie: Captain, ?a pleasure.....thank you ::extending his hand, and letting
the Captain take his::  a good day.....I think we met once before I shipped
out...sir.

Turner: Yes, I remember you. I believe you wanted to be a Tactical Officer,
and I see you were successful in doing so.

Eerie: Sir, yes, I count myself ?...oO OK, Eerie was is the earth
term?......Oo ...lucky

Turner: Has it proved to be all that you hoped it would be?

Eerie: It has been more so.......... and  we have a good crew..... and
Captain Vetri.....Sire .  :: Eerie saw Lt. Matthews arrive, and he came over
to Eerie and the Captain::

::Alexander waited until there was an opening for him to speak.::

Matthews: ::Walking and standing next to Eerie, nodding to him.:: Good
afternoon ma'am. Lt. Alexander Matthews, pleasure to meet you. ::Looking to
Eerie.:: Good afternoon Lt.

Turner:Response

Eerie: LT ::. nodding at him::please join us.

Matthews: ::Looking to Turner, and extending his hand.:: Tactical/Security

soon.

 | (( Mess Hall ))

OOC: This post happens before Dickens's surgery

IC:


::Spending some time trying to do her work, without sounding like it, will be much more beneficial, to both her and Dickens. She just had to be concentrated enough? yea, definitely.::

Dickens: Can I invite you to something?

Teagan: Not this time, Sir. ::She smirked.:: You order and I bring drinks.

Dickens: A Saurian brandy... :: He waited to see the reaction of the counselour that doesn't made him wait. ::

Teagan: Nope, no alcohol. Not even sintahol before operation. ::She winked.:: I know you're joking, so what will it be?

Dickens: Just cheating you. A Jestral tea please.

::She grabbed drinks and followed him to the table in the back. He choosed that table in purpose as it'll give them some privacy.::

Teagan: It is really good to see you out of your quarters. May I ask you how do you feel or it will be too much Counsellor from me today?

Dickens: Kind of...

Teagan: But friends when meet and are starting conversations always ask how are you? Why is it wrong when Counsellor asks it? ::She smiled.::

Dickens: I'm glad that you already consider me a friend. You ask your friends that way always?

Teagan: What do you ask a friend you meet in the corridor? What is first you say?

Dickens: eeh... :: thinking for a moment and realizing the truth in her words.:: How are you?

Teagan: See. ::Chuckling.:: Fine, you mate?

Dickens: Trying to cope up with things, you know. Doctors here, counselours there,... Where were you going so distracted before?

Teagan: I was on my way to read last reports and finalize mine. I'll have it in a few hours. ::Arielle didn't want to say it, even think it, but the fact he was interested in ships dealings was good and really good sign.::

Dickens: Good, you'll surely have lot to report after that mission, plus the fact that you have to make an initial report of the crew.

Teagan: I'm new to Aurora, tell me about your experience of this little beauty. My first impression, one thing I noticed as big difference from Swan is that it's really easy to get from one point to another. I walked the ship. For the exercise, made a stroll of all the places I may need to access from my quarters and none required more than 20 minutes.

Dickens: Certainly it's a small ship. This has 165 m of length and 62 wide, my previous post was on Challenger-A was 385 m long and 224 wide. So this almost seems a runabout compared to the Challenger. What's your opinion, you like it?

Teagan: Like? No Sir, I love it. ::Smile.:: What was your first impression?

Dickens: I could say that I felt something similar of what people will feel the first time in a submarine, maybe not as exagerated but kind of the sentiment. You know, it's easy to find almost everyone everytime. 

Teagan: Resposne

Dickens: That's right, this is why it's important to keep a good atmosphere between all the crew. You're important to this ship and it's members. No one is flawless, as ... I've shown.

Teagan: Response

:: Her reaction told him what he'd been suspecting the two times he'd seen her. Something was not quite right with her and it doesn't seem to be work related. ::

Dickens: No, I don't. It's just that when I see a counselour working with difficult persons, and I'm one of them a phrase always comes to my mind.

Teagan: Response

Dickens: Who counsels the counselour?

Teagan: Resposne

Dickens: :: Sipping from his drink. :: Of course you're fortunate, our captain was former counselour, however I know it's difficult to come to the captain telling her, hey, I have a personal problem.

Teagan: Resposne

Dickens: I think that Zonhar is about to return so you could ask him or...

Teagan: Response

Dickens: ::leaning forward a bit :: Well, I'm not a counselour but I'm half Betazoid, raised in Betazed, you're part Betazoid and seem to be worried 'bout something, not mentioning that you're looking everytime the door opens, as if checking if someone comes in and...

Teagan: Response

Dickens: We're here, I'm not back to duty so this is not an official talk,... as you said, just two friends talking.

Turner: ::smiling warmly:: I'm sure you both make a good team. ::glancing
around the room:: Do you think we will be starting soon?

Eerie: Captain, hopefully, Social functions are not my strong point.

Matthews: I'm not sure ma'am, the rest of the senior staff should be along
soon.

::Alexander looking around to see the security teams are in place.::

Turner: It looks as if Lt. Commander Barnes' handiwork is in play. He and I
served together on the USS Challenger. ::glancing at them quizzically:: Tell
me, does he still curse in Klingoneze?

Eerie: Yes, Sire.

Matthews: Response

Turner: ::laughing slightly:: Yes, we would be on the bridge and he would
come out with something that would totally crack us up.

Eerie: Of course, I took Klingon  in secondary school, I know sufficient to
get me in trouble. Sire. ::It was meant to be a statement, but it came off
very dry and cool::





Matthews:


Turner: We did have fun, but ::more seriously::  the main thing was that we
trusted each other's abilities, and when the chips were down we knew we
could count on each other.

Eerie: Captain, Matthews, here is a good pilot, we and the rest of our  little
team  had one little adventure together, were we went after Lt. Cmdr.
Barnes,  Lt. Cmdr. Dickens , and the rest of the their away team, it was an
interesting trip.



Matthews:



Turner: Other than Lt. Commander Barnes, I served with Lt. Commander T'Lea
on the Challenger and the Constitution. And served with Captain Vetri on the
Constitution and at the Academy, as well as Lt. Commander Dickens. I guess
it is fair to say we all came up through the ranks with each other and the
friendships have survived the test of time.



::Eerie thought about this for a moment, he had not formed any  close
attachments during his entire time at the academy, but he felt he was making
headway on the Aurora.


Eerie:  Hopefully Cmdr. Dickens will be at the ceremony, Captain, but good
to have close friends, Sire.





Matthews: response


::Eerie scanned the room quickly, the number of guests were starting to
arrive and he noticed that  Ensign Blackwood, heading there way, she looked
very nice in her formal attire::

oO(Eerie) She must have gotten ready at warp speed, for a person who can
usually take light years  to get  ready. Look at her now Oo



Blackwood: Looking very smart in your dress robes Eerie. Very nice.





::She continued walking by them::





Eerie: Ensign Black wood,::raising his voice a bit::  please join us.



Blackwood : Response



::Eerie saw Blackwood?s head turn and  then she changed direction, coming
over to the Captain and LT. Matthews



Eerie : Ensign, This is Captain Turner, ::turning to the Captain:: Captain
this is Ensign Blackwood, she is in our Science Department, working with Lt.

IC:

:: Marcus payed special attention to what the counselour says and what doesn't. ::

Teagan: It's not like? ::She shudder.:: Sir, it's not? I can't, I'm sorry. ::Arielle squeezed in the corner of the bench and pulled her legs up.::

Dickens: We're here, I'm not back to duty so this is not an official talk,... as you said, just two friends talking.

Teagan: Can we talk without names?

Dickens: If that's your wish, of course

Teagan: ~In private?~

Dickens: ~Ok, what's bothering your mind?~

Teagan: ~Main problem is I don't have a slightest clue what happened! That's frightening part.~

Dickens: ~How is it? You're frightened of something you don't know what's it or if it happened? Ok, tell me step by step.~

Teagan: ~There's a part of, well long time during which I had no idea? it's blank, I don't remember anything.~ ::Arielle shifted into another position extending hand, than retracting it.:: ~I want to show you, but. Give me a moment, will you. I? touch feels bad. I need to concentrate hard for a mere handshake.~ ::Marcus knew how Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome could play on one's mind so he just left his hand on the table his palm down for her to feel free to leave whenever she wanted to. She extended her hand and touched his, opening her emotions for him to read.::

Dickens: :: A raw of emotions flowed through the slight physical contact, anger, fear, worry, love, but all seemed to come after whatever that happened::~Have you any evidence if your memory loss was forced on you? or if previously to that you're psichycally assaulted?~

Teagan: ~No, I don't have a feeling there was any force used or that anything was done against my or his will, but it still feels wrong.~ ::Arielle watched his hand in hers or vice versa and was surprised how soothing it felt.::  oOExcept Askade and Jimmy only one who's hand I ever held?Oo ::She pulled her hand from his fast.::

Dickens: :: The break of contact and disconnection was like slamming a door right in front of your nose. He had to blink twice to re-focus on her:: ~Ok, ok, was that a reaction to touch? Are you feeling disconfort with that?~

Teagan: No Sir, not because of ?it was not reaction, I did it intentionally.

Dickens: Intentionally? I thought we're willing to know how to help you? What's it that you did it this way? What where you about to feel?

Teagan: Don't ask me that, please.

Dickens: I may not have a doctorate but it's not good that you restraing yourself of your own feelings...

Teagan: I did it *for* you. Memory returned me to somebody who's hand I touched and the feeling I had when did it. The hand was bionic. I don't want you to form your opinion of the hand you'll get tomorrow through my sensation of another one I touched.

Dickens: What? You wanted to ... protect me? Why?

Teagan: Because most of the people will have a sensation of it just through their physical senses and it will feel to them as real one. When anything don't seem like it looks I always reach for it with my senses. I was blind and it left a mark on me.

Dickens: Blind? :: He grew worried. Obviously this counselour has more on her past than what a report could tell. ::

Teagan: Long story. An accident on the meeting I was swimming during my Academy years which turned into being a terrorist attack. Very smart and vicious one.

Dickens: So young and you felt the pain of terrorist act. Should have been hard being so young? What did the investigation said about it? Didn't they had any warning?

Teagan: See, you're talking about your imperfection. It took Starfleet and Intelligence almost 2 years to figure out that. On a missions like the one we just finished UFOP is rarely sending a small science ship. In most cases it's a group of highly prepared and educated Intelligence Officers. You jumped in and accomplished miracles. You should be proud of yourself, not angry for what you, and only you see as your failure.

Dickens: I won't say miracles, just an operation that was lucky to have so good people and lucky that the Brotherhood operates in so small cells that they almost didn't know each other. Good for some things bad for another. Let me tell you that you're a very smart person.

Teagan: Response

Dickens: It's amazing how you changed the conversation from you to me again. But you just have left me more... interested in helping you. That thing of touch it's a relevant one that should be taken care off. 

Teagan: Response

Dickens: I know, I remember what I said and I'm speaking like a friend, not like the FO. What worries me is that blank space in your memories. Have you tried returning to the previous moments of that blank and trying to re-construct what happened?

Teagan: response

Dickens: If that doesn't work I know of someone that could lend a hand. It's an old friend of mine, I met him when I was at the academy and he was a Lieutenant. He's temporarily retired and he'll be pleased to help you.

Teagan: Response

Dickens: He's a true friend, and there's few people I call TRUE friend. If you're interested, he's an Ullian named Kalin Terpes and you know their abilities when it comes to retrieve memories. He's about... ninety years old, but given the Ullian lifespan it's mid-life. If you feel stuck in your... recovery, just tell me and I'll call him. Aside from that, my ear and my other ear ::pointing to the side of his head:: Will be here whenever you need it.

 | ( Dickens's quarters)

IC:

:: As the Surgery had gone well, he'd spent the rest of the day in his quarters doing the exercises he'd been told by the doctor. The next day he started quite late for what he's used to do and when checked the messages he found that his wife was arriving just after the ceremony to Mars, thing that made him happy. As he progressed with his exercises he's able to grab things with the bionic hand so it's not bad at all and he'll be able to be at the ceremony. Another of the messages was from the Doctor with the approval of counselour Teagan. He's granted to return to active duty with some scheduled visits to both of them. He smiled at the thought of the two woman talking on not letting him go away so easily. After a hot shower, he began to put on his Dress uniform that took him more than usually given the limited movement of the left hand but managed to do it on his own what he thought it wasn't a bad thing. Once he's ready he moved to the place where the ceremony will be held.::


( Utopia Planitia Holodeck )


:: As he entered he could see a lot of uniforms, and the image brought a smile to his face as he liked this kind of meetings both for what it means in terms of being an official act and that you can met with a lot of people in a single place to keep contact with the ones you're not used to work with so directly. Soon he saw a group of people and between them recognized a woman. It's Captain Toni Turner with whom he'd served in the academy some times. ::

Dickens: oO That's what I was talking about Oo

:: There it wsa, someone with whom he'd almost lost contact that was now in front of him. He wondered if he'll find captain Riley of whom he didn't know anything for quite some time. As he approached he saw that she's talking with Barnes too. Lot of pips there sharing with new people like Matthews or Tali. He approached slowly. ::

Dickens: So, look who's come to the party!

Turner: Response

Dickens: Captain... It's good to see you again and out of a testing or work related issue. How're you doing on the Embassy? I've read of some disturbing news?

Turner: response

Dickens: I see that you're right, I'm glad for that. I haven't had time to contact captain Riley, do you have news of her?

Turner: response

Dickens: Time goes by, right? See, T'Lea is around here and she's had a baby recently. Make you think of passing time, right?

Turner: Response

:: As they exchanged words he looked around when he saw T'Lea entering with T'Sara in her hands, he then looked at his companiong whom he'd hard time recognizing but came to his mind the name. Amazed he waved to her. ::

Dickens: T'Lea, WE'RE HERE, COME.

:: As they approached he couldn't avoid looking at Tash wondering if he'll recognize him all this time after. ::

T'Lea: Response

Dickens: I see you've brought T'Sara to her first ceremony and another old friend. Tash... good to see you around.

T'Lea/Tash: Response

Dickens: Long time, when was the last time, let me think... I think it's on the Arrow, under Moranta's command. We're disbanded, I to the Independence and you... to the Constitution-B. How's there?

Tash: response

OOC: Continue as long as you wish, I'll backsim.


(Few minutes later)

:: The crowd was exchanging stories and memories when the captain arrived. After a short exchange both moved to the front of the room to begin the ceremony. ::

OOC2: All yours, captains!

 | Lt. Cmdr. Dickens, FO, AURORA:  What people talks about.?
 | (Utopia Planitia: Holodeck)

OOC: Just to fill some tags left for me.


IC:


T'Lea: So, Marcus, will your wife be joining you?

Dickens: I expect her to come in a few minutes, about after the ceremony so I told her to come as soon as she can.

T'Lea: I look forward to meeting her. Where has she been all this time?

Dickens: She's been in Starbase 23 making some arrangements for her professional life.

T'Lea: What has she been doing there?

Dickens: Making a study to work privately. She doesn't consider returning to starfleet at least for the moment, but we also want to be together and on the Aurora this will be a difficult thing so that chance could be good in a stationary position such an starbase or a planet.

:: T'Lea was glancing at Marcus's hand, noticing that he had one, whereas in the meeting yesterday he did not.::

T'Lea: ::nodding at his hand:: How is it?

Dickens: Well enough, I... still have to get a hold onto it but it's good to have something instead of ... nothing.

T'Lea: It looks good. I-- ::losing her train of thought.:: Sorry. Excuse me?

Dickens: ::looking in the direction she'd moved his head for he saw the captain entering the room. :: Of course, go ahead.

Tash: Is something wrong...?

:: Della approached to the group and obviously she knew Tash too. ::

Vetri: Thank you, Tash. And thank you for coming.

Zubowskivich: Hope it's not a problem... I won't cause any problems.

Vetri: I didn't think you would, Tash. Just relax, enjoy yourself. ::glancing at Marcus:: That is why we're here, right?

Dickens: That's what those occasions are for, despite what's going around us.

Vetri: Okay, Just checking.

Es-Aleh: Sorry to interrupt, but I think someone important just arrived.

Vetri: Okay, thanks, Gina. I'll go talk to him... ::to the others:: I'll catch up with you again later, okay?

Dickens: Sure, All those pips require the attention. ::smiling::

:: Tash simply nodded. ::

Es-Aleh: It'll give me a chance to Mr. Z again. ::grinning a little:: Assuming he has the slightest clue who I am, of course...

Zubowskivich: I remember you, but... you've grown. Quickly.

Es-Aleh: ?

Zubowskivich: You've joined Starfleet then?

Es-Aleh: ?

Zubowskivich: Can't stay away from all the excitement, the away missions...

:: More recall, some pleasant and some not, though he sounded a bit nostalgic about it all. ::

Es-Aleh: ?

Dickens: Well, away missions can turn to be exciting,... :: raising  his left arm :: or dramatic.

Zubowskivich: We've all had our share. ::meaning the experiences:: I think... it's enough to make us appreciate a boring, uneventful lifestyle.

Es-Aleh: ?

Dickens: You aren't talking about this ceremony, right?

:: A few minutes later the admiral moved to the podium followed by the senior staff and he made official the promotion of Della to full Captain. Captain turner surprised him with her words.::

Turner: Speech! Speech! ::He smiled inwardly ::

 | Lt. Cmdr. Dickens, FO, AURORA:  The honored ones
 | ( Utopia Planitia )

IC:

:: As the captain was promoted Marcus was proud of her and serving under her command. Despite the problems and dangerous situations she left the captain attire aside to help him personally. He smiled as she approached the podium to make her speech as some of the crew requested, not venturing himself to clasp with his new hand.::

Vetri: The USS Aurora is a fine ship, and she's done us proud. Starfleet Command, however, has decided that she doesn't fit the profile of the work they want us to do. In addition to me being put on the spot today, we are also here to bid farewell to a faithful and valiant ship and pass her into the care of another Captain, another crew.
 
::There was, the moment he'd heard her talk about before arriving to the station. She paused for a moment to let that sink in, then carried on.::
 
Vetri: Two weeks ago, the crews of Utopia Planitia declared themselves satisfied and done. They had put a lot of work into what they'd been doing, and now they are passing the fruits of their labour on to us. The latest Luna-class starship to finish construction is waiting for us to take her into the unknown, and I know we will all work to be worthy of her.
 
:: The scene hovering in the air shifted, dissolving into the brand new starship hanging in her dry-dock, the red light of the planet below reflecting across her sleek hull, the name and registry numbers clear to everyone in the room.::
 
Vetri: Ladies and gentlemen, our new home - the USS Avandar.

:: As the crew admired the new ship and clasped again, he looked at Della that looked back at him and he nodded to her in approval for the reaction of the crew. ::

Vetri: Now on to the last little detail. Ensign Blackwood, Lt. Eerie and Lt. Kagran. If you'd join me?

:: Another issue largely discussed, or maybe not that as they've made enough merits to deserve what was about to come. The three officers moved up in front of the new captain and received their new pips to their collars. ::

Vetri: Congratulations to all of you. Now... ::making a shoo-ing motion to both them and the rest of the gathering:: ...go. Play. You've earned it.
 
Anyone: ?

:: As the crew began to mingle he approached the captain. ::

Dickens: So, wasn't bad at all, right?

Vetri: Response

Dickens: When we'll be able to board the Avandar?

Vetri: Response

Dickens: I... understand that there it doesn't apply the policy of... no civilians?

Vetri: Response

Dickens: That's a relief,... Honestly I was wishing to spend more time with my wife and if there's a chance for her to be with me, I could try to convince her to come with us. The only other solution was to request a transfer, thing that, despite what's happened, I won't like to do.

Vetri: Response

Dickens: She should be here soon, I've told her via subspace to come here as soon as she arrives. I'm sure she'd want to say hello to you once she arrives.

Vetri: response

Dickens: I'd like to congratulate the honored, if you excuse me.

:: He moved down the podium to the crowd and walked to the three recently promoted. ::

Dickens: Hey, new shining pips... Congratulation to you all.

Blackwood/Eerie/Kagran: Response

Dickens: So, what do you plan to do with your new privileges?

Blackwood/Eerie/Kagran: Response

Dickens: Well, a round for all the presents shouldn't be bad...

Anyone: Response

::Eerie arrived back at he shared quarters and looked around his half of the
quarters it was  cold and sterile, there was not a single personnel item in
sight, and what few items were in the drawers with his uniforms and the few
jumpsuits he owned::

oO It will not take much to pack, you can be out of here in five minutes,
?..it is like you were never here Eeire, is that how you want to be
rememberedOo

::Eerie looked at himself in the mirror, the new pip, meant that someone had
some faith in him, he changed into the winter gear he had, now that Teagan
had left he felt secure that Kagran could keep an eye on things in the
Holodeck for a while::

::He got ready for the Holoprogram with Blackwood, at last she was going to
take him on hike::

oOProbably end up on some frozen landscape some whereOo

Computer : New message for you.

Eerie : Computer ...play message.

::Eeire looked at the flat monitor, and the emblem of the Brikar Home
Security Division flashed on the screen, and then the face of Commander
Tredd appeared on the screen::

-filtered voice-

Tredd :: We have enjoyed your last personal logs, Eeire, it certainly sounds
like you have been keeping busy, and don?t try to keep things from me, I
heard from my sources about your promotion, ?.I have to say... I am sure now
that there are no other officers in Starfleet, if they promoted you to full
Lieutenant, and you are getting a Luna class ship. ....I hear that is has a
complement of some 350, were are you going to hide now? ::There was a
glimmer of a smile on his face::
oOHow does he find out about all of this  stuff?Oo

- and what is this about you had a picnic with a Bolian female?.  a single
line in your personal journal, well, I know all about her Eerie, it would be
better if you just gave us the details instead of me having to use my
contacts, you know I know everyone......or I have something on everyone
?.Peiy that is her name, you want more details, I could tell you all about
her....

Oh, the Brikar Defense Forces have given you  the right to transfer to them
if you every wanted to....my boy....Brikarn and Klingon relations have been
much better since the return of their two citizens.

IC:

:: As Marcus talked with Arielle he felt more confortable and knowing the personal issues she's dealing with, he found that they're going through similar experiences. ::

Dickens: He's a true friend, and there's few people I call TRUE friend. If you're interested, he's an Ullian named Kalin Terpes and you know their abilities when it comes to retrieve memories. He's about... ninety years old, but given the Ullian lifespan it's mid-life. If you feel stuck in your... recovery, just tell me and I'll call him. Aside from that, my ear and my other ear ::pointing to the side of his head:: Will be here whenever you need it.

Teagan: Yes I know... he's your friend, as you say one of not many true friends, so you see him through love and affection of a friend. For me the mere mention of Ullian is frightening. That ability of theirs is... ::She shuddered heavily.::
 
Dickens: Yes, it could be frightening that someone can pull things that you don't even know they're there. As he's been in starfleet for long he told me that the few times he'd been asked to do that he'd done it with someone else on the room, either family or friend of the asking.
 
Teagan: I don't know, I can try! ::She took a deep breath.:: Lieutenant reported for evaluation and I invited him to join me for a ride in a holodeck.
 
Dickens: Do you like riding? :: Finding a common interest was something that's always good. ::
 
Teagan: To be honest, no I'm not big fan of riding, but it's equally good for body and muscle development as swimming and I have a pet who loves riding and hates water, so I chose it for him.
 
Dickens: Your pet loves riding? Can I ask what kind of pet?
 
Teagan: Fluffy. ::Arielle laughed.:: He's a bug. Lot of people asked me how do I know it's he, since not many people can say bugs gender, but we have something. ::She smiled and her eyes got blurry as always when she was reminiscence of something.:: I was?

:: He felt that she's retrieving some memories and enjoying them, so he opened his mind a little to catch up whatever that escaped from her, feeling an curious sensation of joy and confidence with it. A few seconds later Arielle watched Dickens and felt that she became worried looking at him as if it was not usual for her to share things like that. The feeling that she was doing something wrong came to his mind before closing it, or better said, she closed her thought of him.::
 
Teagan: I'm sorry. I think it would be best to go now.
 
Dickens: As you wish,... 

:: He finished his drink and stood, walking with her out of the hall. They moved to a near turbolift where they stood there in some kind of akward silence. When the lift arrived to Teagan's destination he put his hand on her arm lightly ::

Dickens: I've enjoyed our talk Arielle, it's good to brake with the official thing and I hope we can do it again sometime in the future.

:: He watched her go until the doors of the turbolift closed and thought about his problems with the posting without Vojana and the recent events. Suddenly he felt better as they approached the starbase ::

PNPC 1st Lieutenant Hella
Special Assignments
Federation Embassy Duronis II
USS Thunder, NCC-70605

 
((Embassy Sickbay  - Yael's recovery room))

:: Ashley had turned on his side away from the door, and the lights had been diminished, and he closed his eyes to try and rest.  His body felt the abuse still, though of course the worst of things had been healed by his talented crewmates.  Still... it refused to allow him to sleep.  He felt a bit more stable after talking with Captain Turner and Doctor Vess, but... ::

:: But he kept thinking about... everything... and the terror was still fresh. ::

 :: Just as he was about to relive it all again in his mind... the motion near the bed, which was Hella plopping down into her targeted chair, had him jumping in sudden fright.  Purple eyes flew open, and it wasn't until her heavy heels were resting on the edge of the bed that he really registered who it was so near and that they... she... wasn't a threat. ::

Yael:  Lieutenant... Hella?

 

:: It wasn't a welcome, but a question.  Ashley had to fight out of the sudden wave of fear that had surged in him at her sudden appearance.  ::

Hella:  So what kind of mess have you gotten yourself into?

Yael:  ::recovering from the scare, but not answering::  I'm... are you... are you visiting, or...?

 

:: Please don't let it be her... please, he knew he deserved punishment, but Hella *hated* him, as far as he could tell.  Their last encounter had been a bit reversed, and nowhere near friendly. ::

Hella: Look, Yael, I'd much rather be skiing down the slopes with my daughter and Bolden, but when the Captain called me back to the Embassy to be your personal guard, I could hardly turn her down. So get use to it. Until further notice we are joined at the hip. Besides, I never was one for standing guard outside a door when I could be comfortable inside.
 
Yael:  ::not capable of saying "no" to her::  Then... make yourself comfortable.

Hella: So what kind of food you got around here?

Yael:  ::uncertain::  I think they have a replicator in the main room.

Hella: Sickbay food? Yuck! None of that for me. ::tapping her commbadge:: =/\= 1st Lieutenant Hella to Chef Cordian =/\=

Cordian: =/\= Cordian here; what can I do for you Lieutenant? =/\=

Hella: =/\= Chef, what's the chances of getting some food delivered to sickbay? =/\=

Cordian: =/\= I think the odds are in your favor. Is there a culinary emergency?=/\=

Hella: =/\= Well, I need something bland but palatable for someone recuperating from surgery. He'll feel better with something warm in his gut. And I want a steak smothered with mushrooms, baked potato, and salad with your special house dressing. =/\=

Cordian: =/\= I can do that. How do you want that steak cooked? =/\=

Hella: =/\= Well, as long as it's not mooing, it's done enough for me. =/\=

Cordian: =/\= Alright then. If the patient has any dietary restrictions, you might want to run it by the doctor. I'll grill you up that steak and bring some classic chicken soup for that patient of yours. Depending on whether I get lost, the food should be there in around 30 minutes. =/\=

Hella: =/\= Thank you, Chef. We'll be in Counselor Yael's room. Hella Out.=/\=

:: It was a moment before he worked up the nerve to speak again, wondering why his specially called in guard was ordering him food.  Off her family leave, of all things.  It was said quietly enough, but the small room and lack of other noise left her quite capable of hearing his words. ::

Yael:  I'm not really hungry.

:: There was no way he could eat.  After not having eaten since the last afternoon, and healing from the surgery now, he should have been famished.  But the idea of eating was not one he liked, and his empty stomach was oddly dense and still.  As he contemplated it, Hella's boots clomped to the floor one after the other. ::

Hella: :: placing her feet back on the bed:: You'll eat it... even if I have to shovel it down your throat. The sooner I can get you well, the sooner I can go do other things.

Yael:  Why *are* you here?

:: He meant why she had been chosen as his guard, but didn't realize she had an ulterior motive for having been sent to him. ::

Hella: It was the luck of the draw, so consider yourself damned fortunate to get me.

Yael:  Right... fortunate.

:: It wasn't said sarcastically, but with a sense of absolute disbelief.  That was likely the last word he would use to define himself in this moment. ::

Hella:  Dang right it is, and it's an order, and I'm here to get results. 

:: He  stayed silent, hardly having moved from his original position curled up on his side.  He did take hold of the sheet he'd been afforded, tugging it further up to cover what of him that the sickbay garb didn't.  His eyes closed.  He didn't want her *looking* at him with those accusing, observant eyes. ::

:: She'd proven to him she could see things others didn't want seen. ::

Hella: In thirty minutes your food will arrive, so don't be getting too comfortable in that cocoon your making around you.?

Yael:  I'm tired.  That's all... ::there was a pause as he opened his eyes again::  Sorry for cutting your leave short.

Hella: ::matter-of-fact::They'll be other leaves.

Yael:  You should be with your daughter.

:: He knew she'd been ordered to guard him, but he was almost hopeful he could bait that independent streak she seemed to pride herself on.  If he could tempt her with her family, she could "reassign" another guard and... to use a Marine phrase... get the heck outta Dodge. ::

Hella: You counselor's are all alike, and I ought to know. I've seen enough of them to recognize a "head game" when I hear one so save your breath if you're trying to get rid of me. I don't shirk orders. 

::Getting up she went to the cabinet and took out a robe, tossing it to him.  It landed across his legs atop the sheet. ::

Hella: You've got just enough time to take a sonic shower before Chef Cardian arrives, and put on some fresh clothes.

Yael:  ::a little repulsed by the personal directive she gave::  I'll pass, thanks.

Hella: Either you do it or I will. You stink of antiseptic, and I don't intend to have the aroma of my steak tainted by it. Now move!
 
:: Purple eyes widened... he'd been given orders before by Marines.  A Cardassian Marine had once threatened to carry him up a jefferies tube if he didn't climb on his own... and he knew full well they followed through with such proclamations. ::

:: He didn't speak, but pushed himself up, slowly reaching down and pulling the robe up to his chest almost protectively as he slowly sat up.  He didn't complain about or abide the gut-wrenching instinct that told him to lay back down.  The robe was around his shoulders before he moved out of the sheet and then the bed, but he did manage to set bare feet to the cool floor. ::

:: Gingerly. ::
 
:: It was no race, but wordlessly he made his way into the small restroom attached to the private room. ::
 
:: It was an odd thing, to step into a sonic shower, run his hands down his own body, and feel revulsion at doing so.  Was he going to be afraid of his *own* hands now? ::
 
:: But he finished his shower, propelled by the knowledge that Hella would come in to "help" him if he languished very long.  Carefully, not bending about too fast, he pulled on a pair of soft, black pants and a simple V-necked t-shirt... wrapping the robe back over his shoulders for good measure... and then stepped back out into the room, unable to look his bold guard in the eyes as he did so.  He slipped up to sit on the edge of the bio-bed, but didn't rewrap himself into that cocoon she'd forced him to reluctantly leave. ::
 
:: While he was indeed cleaner after a little self-care, he felt no more "clean." ::

:: It had taken up the remaining time he had before the expected delivery, and in a little less than those predicted 30 minutes the doorway chimed, and Chef Cordian appeared with a covered transport case suitable for food stuffs. ::
 
Hella: ::smiling:: Smells good, Chef. Thank you. We owe you one. 

Yael:  ::quietly::  Thank you, Chef.

:: The El-Aurian came in with the ordered food, setting it on the table and prepping it carefully for the people he'd brought it for.  Ashley hadn't gotten to know the man very well yet, but more than the food, he appreciated the smile on his face.  It seemed like one of those enduring smiles, and appeared entirely genuine.  It was one of those wise smiles, something Ashley hadn't noticed before. ::

Hella:  What time will you be serving breakfast in the morning, Chef?

Cordian:  ?

Hella: Good, I'll clear it with Yael's doctor and we'll start taking meals in the lounge starting tomorrow.
 
:: Her boldness continued to shock him, even when he knew to expect it, and he gave her a concerned look.  He didn't want to get into any more trouble than he was already in. ::

Yael:  I can't do that.

Hella: Don't be silly, of course you can, and after that, we'll take a short walk in the gardens out back.
 
:: A walk in the gardens?  He looked at her as if she were an alien... an unknown alien, of course... and stared a moment into the light steam rolling off the now-uncovered chicken noodle soup.  Since when had Hella turned into a counselor? ::
 
Yael:  ::mumbling to himself::  I suppose... if you clear it first...
 
Hella:  ?

Cordian:  ?

 | [sb118-aurora] Captain Toni Turner - wondering (tag Barnes and Tali)
 | (( Utopia Planita's Holodeck 1 ))


::Matthews introduced Elya Tali, the Laudean that Toni had wanted to meet.::

Tali: Ahhh Captain Turner ::extending a hand::. I understand you're
heading up the Embassy back on Til'ahn,

::Elya looked the woman over, probably less discretely than was
appropriate. To be handling the chaos back on Elya's home planet she
seemed... less intimidating than Elya had hoped.::

::Toni had the distinct feeling that Tali was sizing her up, and some how didn't meet the Laudean's measure. Perhaps it was her missing hand that put the woman off. In any case she chalked it up to her Laudean traits, and greeted her warmly in a one-handed Laudean way.::

Turner: Very nice to meet you. And yes, the Thunder crew is manning the? Embassy on Til'ahn. How are you finding life in Starfleet?

Tali: The Aurora has been an interesting change from the Victory. For m being a science vessel we have had remarkably little time for research.

Turner: ::nodding:: It's much the same at the Embassy as far as our diplomatic endeavors, but the election campaigns are about to start, and perhaps we will be able to keep votes fair and protect the candidates better than in the last election. 

Tali: I... haven't been keeping touch with home very well actually.

::Elya shifted uncomfortably. To be specific, she hadn't made any effort to contact home every since her brother went missing. She occasionally made an effort to avoid the news as well.::

Turner: ::somewhat surprised:: I see. ::And with that she changed the subject.:: I suppose you find engineering on the Aurora fascinating, in that the technology of the Nova class is very unlike the Laudean ships. 

::Toni really wondered how she came to be in that position, or better, why Starfleet was allowing it when the Laudeans, as basically a new species, and as a non-member of the UFOP, still fell under the Prime Directive in technology sharing.:: 

Tali: Response

Turner: ::smiles:: Ah, I can see how Fielding abilities could come in handy. 

::Toni decided not to push it by asking anymore questions. It was something that she could look into later. Besides, this was Della's day to shine. She turned to Hugh.::

Turner: Perhaps we should find a good table before the crowd gets any bigger?

Barnes: Response

Turner: Yes, I would like to sit with or close to T'Lea. I have a gift for the baby, and ::laughing slightly:: I want to harass T'Lea a bit, like she did me. 

Barnes: Response

 | [sb118-aurora] Captain Toni Turner -  Holodeck Link Up
 | ((Captain Turner's House - Embassy, Duronis II))

::After Angie Reynolds (OOC: The children's Nanny) tucked the children in their beds, Toni went into Garth's room to kiss him goodnight. Standing beside his crib, caressing his blond hair, it was hard to believe that if had been just over a year since T'Lea had acted as midwife to bring him into the Universe. She chuckled at the thought of the Romulan/Vulcan's face when she caught him in her arms. Choking back laughter until he was asleep, Toni then tiptoed out of his room to Vee's? to tell her a story. ::

::With the children down for the night, Toni took a hot water shower, and preceded to get dressed to attend the official pinning ceremony that would bring her old friend, Della Vetri, into the realm of Captaincy.::


::Her dress was white satin, striking her just above her knees, and the only adornment was the four brightly shining pips on its stand up collar. Slipping into her crisp white jacket, she stopped to admire its golden braid trim before having Angie to tie her hair back with a satin ribbon.::

::Folding a square white satin scarf into a triangle, Angie draped it around Toni's neck fastening it securely under her hair. Slipping her hand-less left arm into the sling it made, Toni was ready to go.::

Turner: ::smiling:: Thank you. Angie.

Reynolds: I'm glad I could help. 

Turner: If you need me, I'll be in Holodeck 3. I had it linked to Utopia Planita's Holodeck 1. I hate to leave in the middle of the night, but to get there at the designated time, it's necessary.

Reynolds: I understand completely. Don't worry about the children. I'll take care of them.

::Nodding Toni smiled and left, hurrying through the garden paths to the Embassy. When she arrived at the holodeck, the engineer was just finishing the link up, and assure her that it would hold as long as she wanted.::

::She thanked him, and stepped into Utopia Planita's Holodeck 1 beside a Brikar Lieutenant JG, who like her, had evidently arrived early. She turned to him and smiled.::

Turner: ::Extending her free hand:: Good afternoon, Lieutenant. I'm Captain Toni Turner of the Embassy, Duronis II and the USS Thunder. It looks as if we are in for quite a festive day.

Eerie: Response

Turner: Yes, I remember you. I believe you wanted to be a Tactical Officer, and I see you were successful in doing so.

Eerie: Response

Turner: Has it proved to be all that you hoped it would be?

You know you sent this to old Aurora list?
I removed myself from new Avandar lists, so I wouldn't get a sim if it's
sent to proper/new list.

(( Holodeck ))

S'Acul: I imagine you're excited to get your hands dirrrrty in the
Avandarrrrr's warp core.

Tali: There's no dirt aboard my ships. ::smirking:: I know what you
mean though. It will be a nice change of pace.

S'Acul: I can't wait to get my paws on that operations consssssole. I
sssspent so much time focussssed on learning the Aurrrrrorrrra's
syssstems I didn't bother looking at any other ship classsssessss.

Tali: I am sure you'll get the hang of it quickly.

::The two of them turned to T'Lea briefly as she exited the Holodeck.
Elya couldn't help wonder if this new ship had more to do with this
strange relationship between the Captain and T'Lea than anyone would
mention. ::

S'Acul: It looksssss as if everyone has jumped ship, and we're the
only ones left. If you care to keep talking, I know a comfortable
lounge that has a wonderrrrrrful view of the planet and drydocks.
::pausing:: But if you have other thingssss to attend to, I do have
sssssome packing to do mysssself.

:: Elya's brain tripped over the request a little bit, like some gear
had slipped off axis and her thoughts couldn't resolve.::

Tali: That does sound enjoyable... but I had best wrap my head around
this new ship. ::she looked up to the holographic image of the ship
that still rested in the air.:: It isn't too big a ship -- I'm sure
we'll get the chance to talk more.

:: Elya paused awkwardly, stumped again. How did one properly greet
and leave a Caitian anyway? ::

S'Acul: ?

Tali: I imagine you are ready to get off of stations and onto a proper
starship at any rate. ::smiling::

S'Acul: ?

 | LT. Eerie &amp; LT (jg) Matthews - USS Aurora - Hand to Hand training
 | ((Main Holodeck-USS Avandar))

::Alexander and Eerie walk into the holodeck, today is Eerie?s hand to hand
combat evaluation. Looking to his friend, Alexander programs the computer
for the planet of Terra Nova. The room changes to the lush green planet
near the edge of a massive woodland treeline. The pair walked to the edge
and entered::

::Eerie looked at the Lieutenant, while he was looking forward to the
combat he was interested in the choose, but he was looking forward the
challenge, and Eerie had not done much practice, of late, but he knew he
was in good condition, the long hike on Earth had kept him as limber as he
was going to get, and it hand to hand combat, he had a tendency to use his
strength, but that was the point, but he needed to keep his skills honed,
and he was a lot more at ease with this officer, whom he could count on:

::Eerie watched as Matthews program the holodeck::

Eerie : Matthews, what are we doing today, straight combat, or something a
bit more diverse?

Matthews:Today we are hunting 8472 my friend. They could be anyone.

Eerie: Then I will be keeping my eyes out, what weapons if any do you want
to use?::Eerie quickly remember species 8472, they would prove an good
opponents ::

Matthews: For this one, I would suggest bladed weapons, since this is hand
to hand.


Eerie: Computer, access my personal file,  give me my Bat ?leth ::Eeire had
trained with the university students going into the Brikar Space Forces,
while at the University, while he was not allowed to join, he had been
given permission to train with them after his was formally accepted to the
Federation, and there he had done some Bat?leth training, and learned some
Klingon as well::

::A Bat? leth materialized on the floor of the holodeck, and Eerie picked
it up with confidence, it had been a while but it felt at ease  in his
hands again, the grips were modified to his unique hands::

::Eerie moved a bit away from Matthews, and took a practice swing::

oOFeels good again, those Brikar Space rocks called me shorty only oneOo

::Alexander walked over to pick up his katanna that he programed for this
test. Holding it loosely at first then giving it a quick twirl to get the
feel of the weight.::

Eerie: I am ready :: taking a standard hand position with the Bat leth,
waiting for the program to start::

Matthews: ::Nodding to his friend.:: Computer, begin program.

::Alexander and Eerie are faced with images of Starfleet officer?s ranking
from ensign to admirals then they run off to hide in the woods to gain an
advantage.::

oO Interesting choice Oo

::Eerie motioned for Matthews to come close up to his face::

Eerie:: Password is Pippi Longstocking, if we get separated, I don?t want
to be hitting you if we get separated:: whispering in Matthew?s ear, moving
farther apart:: I suggest we stay in close eye contact.


Matthews: Works for me. oOWhere in the hell did that come from? Pippi
Longstocking? What ever works.Oo


Eeire : Let?s go and about 6 meters apart we will do a sweep:: starting to
move out slowly but with purpose heading to the farthest left of were the
first one had gone off to Eerie?s left::

::Matthews and Eerie entered the woods, with the leaves on the trees,  the
light was reduced about 30 percent, and while it was not too thick, they
would have to use their wits about them::

::Eerie heard a branch break in his 11 0?clock position and he motioned
Matthews to take one side, while Eerie tried to be to be quiet, there was a
pause as if everything is the forest stopped, ?..then two star fleet
officers came running at their positions, seemingly like out of nowheres::

:: There was an audible scream from the first as he rushed Eerie?s
position, but the officer had grown to some three meters in size,  Eerie
dodged the rush and brought the Bat ? leth down on the neck of the huge
officer, with such force decapitating the foe, as it crumbled to the
ground.::

::The second one turned toward Matthews, with a death defining speed.::

::Alexander looked over the oncoming enemy officer, ducking low and
sticking out his leg tripping the alien. Taking his sword and with a quick
downward slash splitting it?s head in two.::

Eerie : Good work, Alexander::Taking a quick glance at the officer, but
then scannning the area for more ?foes?, a smile almost appeared on the
Brikar?s face but quickly faded back to the express-less the he usually
portrayed::

Matthews: Thanks, that was close. You handle that thing pretty good. oOGlad
I?m not on the other end of that thing.Oo

Eerie:: Good training at the University, Klingons do make some useful stuff.


::Eerie used his Bat? leth, that they should move out again, Eerie moved
but making sure that he keep Matthews at his twenty, as they combed the
woods for a few minutes without hearing or seeing anything::

::Eerie paused, and Matthews stopped as well, they were close to a slight
ridge it appeared, the woods was a bit denser, and Eerie picked up on
something in the woods, there was a sudden burst of birds from just ahead,
something had spooked them::

:: The Brikar  pointed to himself and then to the location, looking quickly
over to the Lieutenant, and then started out making sure Matthews was
following slightly behind::

::Eerie moved as quietly as possible, and getting lower he climbed the
ridge finding a suitable tree to hid most of him, he looked around and he
saw four officers ahead, they appeared to be just walking in the woods,
heading in their direction, at about 50 meters in front. Eerie turned to
Matthews, with only 3 fingers he raised his fingers and the closed his hand
toward him, and then raised 1 finger and motioned the direction they were
coming::

::Alexander looked over to Eerie, seeing his hand signals. Nodding to him
he moved to adjust his position and keep his companion in sight. Looking
back he spotted an image of the Captain running over to Eerie. Following
the image he caught up with it and with a side slash took the head.

Matthews: oOThere can be only one Della Vetri. I know I have heard that
some where before.Oo


::Eerie saw the Captain come toward him, and Matthews taking on the
Captain, he looked forward, the other four were now heading up the ridge,
  now they  had large heavy wooden blocks of wood them, he stepped back to
get a better grounding and he broke a branch under his boot, and then they
all rushed him on masse as Eerie was the first one in line.The image of
Blackwood appeared and  she landed a heavy crash on the tree, missing
 Eeire  who stammered back a back, getting a bit of     room and then he
 sent the Bat leth into the alien, but then he felt a crash coming down on
the Bat?leth knocking it out of his hands, just after the connecting with
the evil Blackwood.   ::

oO So much of the Bat?leth Oo

::With out  the Bat?leth he ducked as another swing of  a large wood block
just missed his head::

oO(Eerie)Time to take it to them, and hope Matthews can get  me out of
thisOo

::Eerie rushed the red- shirted star fleet officer with a large heavy pole,
 but at this close distance, the wood  was more of hindrance, and Eerie
jammed he three fingers into the heart of the alien, picking him up and
tossing him away with ease,  as he felt the slam of a  heavy blow on his
back::

::Eerie who was a bit off balance, stammered a bit, but regained his
balance quickly.::

::Alexander can see the Eerie is in a little trouble. Running towards them
and climbing on a rock nearby he attacks from the air with a flying kick to
the head of one. Then rolling to the ground to pickup the Bat?leth and
throwing it to Eerie.::


::Eerie grabbed the Bat?leth, and nodded to Matthews, but he saw another
officer coming up behind him, this time with a large old fashion scathe
raising it over his head preparing to bring it around on Matthews,::

Eerie ::stay  down now!::Raising his voice:: Eeire took the Bat? leth and
prepared to swing it at the new starfleet image

::Alexander ducked and rolled on the ground staying down as Eerie took his
swing.::

::Eeire swung the Bat?leth and let it fly catching the alien in the throat,
and it collapsed on the ground next to Matthews. There was a strange
silence  that fell  on the ridge as Eerie looked at Matthews with the
bodies now all over the place::


::Eerie took a quick 360 degree look around, but there was nothing out
there, he moved over to Matthews, and put out his hand toward him::

Eerie : You OK? and what do you do for your day job? :: Eerie cracked a
small smile::


Matthews: ::Laughing taking his hand.:: I happen to hide from 8472, Yeah
I?m fine. Mr. Eerie you have passed the hand to hand and bladed weapons
test.

Eerie::Still smiling but it faded: I was just starting to have fun,
Alex.::Eerie pulled him up gently to a standing position::

Matthews: ::Standing up.:: Oh we still have the Gorn for fun. ::Laughing.::
By the way nice attack with the Bat?leth.

Eerie:: A trick, my instructor, showed me, but  I knew you had my back, and
thank you, you are pretty good with that sword,............ I would
certainly like to give that a try some time.

Matthews:  Thank you. Anytime my friend, anytime.

oO(Eerie) Sword , Matthews and Gorns, now that would be a great
combinationOo

Eerie : How about swords and Gorns? Soon.

Matthews: Hmmm, swords, Gorns, and we must have our knives too. Sounds
great. Next week between shifts?

Eerie:: That sounds like a plan to me, do you think Ensign S?Acul would be
interested?

Matthews: I think he might be. I have to run his test so we can have fun,
and he has to pass his test. ::Laughing.:: I?m joking.

Eerie:Of course ::Finally getting the joke:: And you didn?t get hurt this
time.

Matthews: I?m glad of that. I think Doctor Malcolm is getting tired of
seeing me in sickbay to tell the truth. By the time I get done with the
evaluations we might have to get a new stock of pain killers. ::Laughing.::

Eerie:  Between you and Blackwood, I think you two should have a memorial
biobed.

Matthews: You know I?m going to have a plaque engraved now that you mention
it.

Eerie ::Hmm

oO Probably a good idea Oo

::Alexander and Eerie walk out of the holodeck as the image fades to the
black and yellow walls.::

 ::The holoprogram had distracted Eerie for the moment, but has he walked
back to his shared quarters thoughts about Peiy started to invade his mind::

((Embassy - Counselor's Office, 1145))



:: Aurora glanced up from her PADD and checked her chronometer and decided
to take a walk outside. She smiled as she headed out the door. ::



((Embassy - Grounds, 1150))



Frazier: Excuse me.



:: Aurora saw someone she didn't meet yet and when he caught her by
surprise. ::



Frazier: Are you Ensign James?



:: She looked at him like he was crazy for a moment before regaining her
bearings. ::



James: Yes, I am. Ensign Aurora James, the new Counselor for both the
Embassy and the Thunder.



Frazier: Sorry for the interruption, I am Lt.Cmdr Samal Frazier, one of the
security officers here at the embassy.



James: Apology accepted Sir; it's a pleasure to meet you. Is there anything
I can do for you?



oO I'll need to make this guy an appointment...well I can schedule him after
I've dealt with the majority of the senior staff. Oo



Frazier: ?

James: Well I have to get back to my office, but drop by my office say
around 1600 and we can talk then.

:: With a final smile and wave at the Lt. Commander, Aurora finished her
walk and headed back to her office. ::

((Embassy - Counselor's Office, 1257))



:: Aurora was looking at the PADD in her hand reviewing the psychological
files of the Embassy's current crew, especially that of her first
appointment, Talia Kaji. Aurora looked up when Kaji knocked on the open
door. ::

James: oO That file wasn't very helpful, she'll have to talk to me instead
Oo Welcome Lt, have a seat.  Let's start with the basic's, how are you
feeling today?

Kaji: Umm, pretty good.

James: Okay, well I've read your file but it's not very descriptive; why
don't you start at the beginning.

:: Aurora noted the look on Kaji's face and flashed a reassuring smile. ::

Kaji: Well, I'm from Rodul, and I just joined Starfleet recently.  I've
been a doctor for over sixty years, so medical just seemed a natural fit.
 I have a bond partner and a son.



:: Aurora listened intently to Kaji's tale making notes on her PADD ::



Kaji:  Do you have anything in particular I can tell you about?



James: :: Aurora was about to say something, but Kaji cut her off before
she could speak. ::



Kaji:  Well, recently I had an ectopic pregnancy, and found out I can't
have any more children, so I've been struggling with that.



:: Noting Kaji's struggle with that kind of news, Aurora could relate on
some level. ::



James: That kind of news can always be hard, but you must trust that your
son will grow up to be healthy and strong. Let's talk about you and your
partner. How did you meet?



Kaji: ?



:: Listening to Kaji's account of how her and her partner met was moving;
Aurora could sense the love in her words. Aurora also noted that Kaji
didn't seem to be comfortable talking about her personal life, which wasn't
uncommon. Aurora hoped tea would help her feel more comfortable. ::



James: Thank you, that was very enlightening; it's clearly an important
part of your life. How would you describe your current home-life?

"Appointments and Meetings"

James: :: Looking up from her PADD:: Enter.

:: The door swished open, and Rossh stepped inside.::

Rossh: Counsellor.

:: Rossh nodded and Aurora smiled, she indicated the chair in front of
her.::

James: Welcome Lt. Commander, have a seat. So you spoke of hallucinations,
let's start with how long you've been having them.

:: As she spoke he took the offered seat and attempted to relax, his tail
flicking in agitation behind him.::

Rossh: The first occurred over on the derelict D7 we encountered after the
QSSD malfunctioned. I was hit in the head with a crate... ..er, I was in an
EVA suit at the time. ::He added quickly.:: But was out cold for some time
before waking up on my own tied to a pillar.

:: He shrugged, ears flattening slightly at the memory.::

Rossh: Started to see movements in the corners of my vision from then on.

James: Alright, now that we have that established, what have these
hallucinations entailed?

:: Aurora made several notes on her PADD and listened intently as S'Kahh
spoke.::

Rossh: They initially start with... ..your aware of what happened some
months ago here on Duronis?

James: Vaguely.

Rossh: the Bluegill invasion.

James: Ah, yes I read about it.

Rossh: Yes, I lost a member of my staff during the...incident and had a
very close call myself in the process.

James: I'm sorry to hear that, it must have been a horrifying ordeal for
you.

Rossh: Sorry yes, they start with me seeing things crawling...scuttling in
the edge of my vision.

:: His skin seemed to crawl even describing it. ::

Rossh: Grows more pronounced, I think with rising stress, and I start to
see and feel more definite shapes. :: He then paused. :: Then there's a
humanoid who talks to me.

James: Humanoid that talks to you? Can you describe it?

Rossh: It changes, usually it's the staff member I lost. Crewman Jawik. But
it's been a couple of other people.

James: Do you know these other people?

Rossh: An... associate from back at the academy and another from here on
Duronis.

James: I see. Well based on this conversation, I'd say it's possible you
may have developed a very mild case of post-traumatic stress disorder; but
to confirm that I'd like you to fill out this questionnaire

:: Aurora opens the file cabinet behind her and hands Rossh a printed set
of questions. ::

 James:  I know it may look like I'm giving you a test, but I'm not. Your
answers to the questions are purely to confirm my diagnosis. However, I
would like you to have a neurological scan done anyway to ensure there is
no permanent physical damage done to your brain.  Please have the questions
and scan results on my desk by 1100 hours tomorrow morning. Any questions?


Rossh: Response


James:  Well then, Sir, you are free to go. oO I hope it's nothing that
can't be fixed but we'll see. Oo


Rossh: Response


:: Aurora watched as Rossh stood to leave, as soon as he was out of earshot
she looked at the PADD on her desk and then decided to head to the Medical
center to tell the staff in person.  Before she could get out the door; her
combadge chirped to life with Nugra's voice. ::


Nugra:  =/\= Nugra to Embassy staff. There is a senior staff briefing to be
held in Embassy Briefing Room in two hours. =/\=


James: =/\=James Acknowledged. =/\=


:: With that in mind, Aurora headed out of her office through the Medical
Center and stopped before the massive Marine. ::


James: :: Realizing she was just standing there:: Hi, I'm Ensign Aurora
James.



Allison: Forgive him, Ensign...he's under a little stress right now...I'm
Lieutenant Commander Kamela Allison, and the big grumpy one is Major
Hannibal Tiberious Parker. He is also my husband....



James: Well, it's a pleasure to meet you both.



Allison: Same here....



Parker: Good to meet you Ensign. Now, if you will excuse me....



James: :: Smiling :: Of course. oO I have a feeling he will take some time
to adjust...Oo



Allison: Well, Ensign...once this is over, you can schedule a session with
me....



James: Sounds good. :: To Parker. :: However, I'd like to schedule a
session with you as well Sir.



Allison: Response



Parker: Response



:: With that, Aurora left the medical center figuring she'd talk to the
docs after the meeting. ::


((Embassy, briefing room; sometime later))


:: Aurora walked into the briefing room and sat down in one of the chairs,
she didn't know what the meeting was about, but she had a bad feeling that
something was seriously wrong. She smiled at Frazier who was already there.

James: Hello again Sir.

this is a good start.)


"Arrival at Duronis II Embassy"


((Embassy, Grounds))


:: Aurora exited the transport she had booked passage on, double checked
her PADD for her duty assignment and headed inside. Her first stops would
be the medical center and science tower, just so she could acquaint herself
with her new surroundings, and then she'd probably head to tactical if she
wasn't needed immediately. This was it, her first real duty post outside of
training. As a trained Counselor and Diplomat she was sure she was about to
be a very busy woman, but even still she was excited and happy to be here.
::


James: :: Quietly to herself as she walked towards the medical center::
I've heard this place is full of nuts, guess it's my job to straighten them
out.

 Kaji: Hi, I?m back!



:: Aurora tapped her fingers on the bed nervously while the doctor ran her
scans. ::



James: Am I free and clear Doctor?



Kaji:  Yes, I have a question, though.  Would you like me to consider you
part of medical?  Your offices are connected with ours, so I didn?t know if
you wanted to be part of our staff meetings and such.  I?m going to
schedule a meeting for tomorrow morning, so if you want to come, you can.



 James:  It doesn?t matter much to me, but if me being considered medical
is easiest for right now then I will be at the meeting. And speaking of
meetings and appointments, I will see you in my office for your appointment
tomorrow at 1300.



 Kaji:  Alright, you are free to go, then!  Your offices are right up
stairs!



 James: ::Smiling:: oO That went smoother than I thought Oo Thank you
Doctor, I will see you tomorrow morning at the meeting.



 :: Aurora smiled and headed back into the main waiting area of the med
center looking for Devonshire. ::



 Kaji:  =/\= Medical Personnel, I?m scheduling a staff meeting for first
thing in the morning.  Meet in the conference room at 0730. =/\=



 James: =/\= Acknowledged. =/\=  ::Turning to Devonshire:: So, how about

Devonshire =?



James: :: Smiling happily :: Sounds great.



((Embassy - Embassy Grounds))



:: Aurora happily followed Devonshire around the grounds for the tour
making mental notes of places and people. Aurora started making an
appointment chart in her head starting with Kaji; it would take some time
to evaluate the staff of the Embassy, and it would be a complete pain, but
she vowed to herself that she would make it look easy. They ran into
several people on their tour and although she recognized them from their
files, Aurora took care to introduce herself to each of them in as friendly
a manor as possible. ::

IC:

((Embassy - Medical Center))

 :: Aurora smiled and headed back into the main waiting area of the med
center looking for Devonshire. ::



Kaji:  =/\= Medical Personnel, I'm scheduling a staff meeting for first
thing in the morning.  Meet in the conference room at 0730. =/\=

James: =/\= Acknowledged. =/\=  ::Turning to Devonshire:: So, how about

Devonshire: :: smiling :: We could start with your office, but it's a lot
more beautiful outside in the gardens.

James: :: Smiling happily :: Sounds great.

Devonshire: You can call me Will if you like.

((Embassy Grounds))

 :: Aurora happily followed Devonshire around the grounds for the tour
making mental notes of places and people. Aurora started making an
appointment chart in her head starting with Kaji; it would take some time
to evaluate the staff of the Embassy, and it would be a complete pain, but
she vowed to herself that she would make it look easy. They ran into
several people on their tour and although she recognized them from their
files, Devonshire introduced her for the most part, but when she started
making her own introductions, she noticed the slight decline in Will's
mood. ::


James: Hi, I'm Ensign Aurora James, the new Counselor.

Random Civilian: Hi, nice to see a new face glad to meet you.

:: Aurora finished her conversation and was glad when Will made a
suggestion. ::

Devonshire: Why don't we go to the Kofi Bar for a bite of lunch? If it's
people you want to meet, then that's the place to be. Most everyone eats
there, making it a perfect place to introduce yourself.

James: Really?

Devonshire: Well to tell you the truth, I could use something to eat, and
they have the best hotdogs on the planet.

James: :: Smiling :: Sounds good.


:: Aurora and Devonshire wandered off to lunch. ::



((In the morning, 0730, Medical Center - Conference Room))



:: Aurora walked into the conference room, she didn't really need to be
here, but she felt it was important for her to be, if nothing else to get a
feel for the medical staff before she started the psych evaluations. ::



Kaji:  Ok, I'm going to go ahead and start this.  Thanks for coming in a
little early, everybody!  I have a little surprise for us.  I know we need
a little more workspace around here, and especially on the ship.  Sadly we
can't have special offices for everybody, but I do want everyone to have a
special place to work.  I've actually been working on a plan for a couple
of weeks, and I got approval and arranged for engineering to help out.  So
here is the plan for the new sickbay.



:: Kaji passed out a printed copy of the design. ::



Kaji:  This is just the plan for the shipside offices, I'm still working on
the one planetside.  It's mostly just a reorganization of the standard
Akira-class facilities, nothing really special.  I hope, though, that we
can figure out our duties and areas so that we can serve the crew better as
a team.  Any thoughts?



R'acha:  The Deckplan design seems adequete for all the needs of the staff
and patients..



James: oO This looks sufficient Oo



Red Elk: I call not *it* on cleaning that fish tank.  I used to have to
clean my little brother's fish tank, I've paid my dues...



R'acha:  It would be my pleasure to clean the fish tank..



Red Elk: You have no idea...  With all of our advanced tech, those things
still stink to high heaven.



Kaji:  I have an idea for the arrangement of our duties.  Day shift, I'd
like R'acha to cover Obstetrics, Gynecology and the Nursery.  You can have
the desk in the Nursery as your personal desk.  Dr. Hendon, you are Chief
of Surgery, so you of course have the Surgical Bay, and the office there is
yours.  If you don't have appointments or current patients, I'd like you to
help in the main sickbay.  Dr Devonshire, I'd like you to take the night
shift covering main sickbay and the ICU, if you don't mind.  The desk in
the ICU is yours if you want it.  How does that sound?



R'acha: Obstetrics desk...reasonable. Looks fine, M'am.



Kaji:  I'm going to split the medical staff into two teams, Blue and Red.
 R'acha, Hendon, Benelat, Franklin and I are on Blue team; Devonshire and
Red Elk are on Red team.  When the Thunder is at the Embassy, I'd like Blue
team to be working planetside, and red team working shipside.  When the
Thunder leaves, the teams will switch.  That way both centres are staffed,
but the majority of the doctors stay with the majority of the crew.  Any
questions or concerns?



James: oO Seems fair, but it sounds stressful Oo No, I think it's a
well-organized plan.



R'acha: Well organized plan...



Red Elk: Nope.



Kaji:  Alright!  I'm so glad we're all on the same page.  Then, unless
there's anything else, I think we should all get to work!



:: Aurora smiled as she headed to her office. ::



((Embassy - Counselor's Office, 1257))



:: Aurora was looking at the PADD in her hand reviewing the psychological
files of the Embassy's current crew, especially that of her first
appointment, Talia Kaji. Aurora looked up when Kaji knocked on the open
door. ::


James: oO That file wasn't very helpful, she'll have to talk to me instead
Oo Welcome Lt, have a seat.  Let's start with the basic's, how are you
feeling today?


Kaji: ?


James: Okay, well I've read your file but it's not very descriptive; why
don't you start at the beginning.


Kaji: ?


:: Aurora listened intently to Kaji's  tale making notes on her PADD ::

::Aurora paced up and down the turbolift half controlled half panicked. She'd never done anything like this before, she'd never even seen the interior of the bridge let alone walking onto it with the confidence and self assuredness of an officer twice her age... But it needed to be done, and it was her duty as a Star Fleet Officer to do it.::

oO You're not an Officer yet Aurora remember? Oo

::Her cynicism didn't help her self esteem one bit::

oO Calm down Aurora, its okay. You can do this. This go up there and ask for Mr Sharpe. Oo

::The doors opened up revealing the bridge. She froze for a second, like a fox caught in the headlights on an oncoming car, before composing herself. She stepped onto the bridge.::

oO One step in the right direction Oo

::Two officers stood at the tactical station paused and looked around to the sound of the turbolift doors.:: Yes Mr? 

oO Oh great! He thinks I'm a guy! Oo

Disinterested in anything she had to say he redirected her to a hangar bay where the crews were working on repairs. She followed the directions of the computer on the walls which lead her to a massive steel cavern.

 | ((OOC: Thank you again for your patience and working through this back-sim 
to bring us more in alignment with the current situation.  If I missed a 
tag or important piece of information, please let me know as sorting 
through all the subsequent posts made things run a bit together at times?))

*((Surface of the Prison Planet, Future Timeline))*

 

::Debris continued to rain down from above the group after the initial 
burst as dust and dirt that had accumulated on the starship panels over the 
decades was violently discharged into the air.  The atmosphere crackled 
with electrical charge, the tachyon burst and now subsequent missile 
strikes filling their nostrils with ozone.  It was a place of combat and 
not conversation though the *Thunder?s* crew attempted the latter in loud, 
staccato bursts::

 

Adarnis: Ensign, the probe that Science have orbiting the planet. Is it 
still functional?

 

::Ayhan thought for a few moments before bringing the tricorder up in front 
of him.  He was unsure how this pertained to their current plight but, his 
usefulness at the current moment being low, acquiesced to the request::

 

Ayhan: According to my scans, it is operating at 97% efficiency.

 

Adarnis: Can we use it to get a bounced transport back to the ship?

 

::The Vulcan immediately understood the Marine?s request and began working 
furiously on the portable screen and input device.  Why hadn?t he thought 
of using the satellite to boost the teleportation signal to evacuate them 
all from the planet?  True, some might suggest that his rank of Ensign 
might have something to do with it but given his already decade-long 
enlisted career in Starfleet and his time before that, the idea should have 
at least occurred to him.  

 

::Mentally chastising himself and making a future appointment to redouble 
his studies and meditation time, he finally found the information that he 
sought:: 

 

Ayhan: Affirmative.  I?

 

::Before he could complete his sentence, tachyon energy landed amongst the 
group, sending more particulate into the air and sending a wave of coughs 
from the crew and groans from the metal that was barely protecting them.  If 
he were human, he would be slightly perturbed that he was unable to finish 
his thoughts without being interrupted.  Regardless, time was of the 
essence::

 

Adarnis: Can you get an arc wide enough to take everyone?

 

Ayhan: Yes, I have already created the necessary nodal inputs and 
coordinated with the *Thunder*?s transporter relay.  I recommend that we 
leave with due haste.  ::To say that Ayhan was a master of understatement 
would be one as well::

 

:: Another blast from the machine sent sparks and rocks flying into the 
air. A thunderous explosion from the shattered shielded dome lit the yard 
up in a bright blue haze for a second, illuminating those faces in the 
dark. 



Waltas: Ensign get us out of here if you can. The Marines will form up on 
me and we go out after everyone else has been transported. Clear?

 

Adarnis: On your signal.

 

::The engineer nodded in response to the two Marines and input the 
appropriate sequence to begin the phased transport.  Given the distance 
involved and the use of an intermediary device, however, the process did 
not occur immediately.  Unfortunately, snaked tendrils of missile 
projectiles were hurtling toward the shielded dome now barely holding it 
together, carving their path out along the black sky. As they hit the 
shielded covering, the ground beneath their feet cracked and split, opening 
up the cavern in the center.:: 

 
 
::Screams pierced the air with shrapnel aside as bodies were washed in a 
blue glow.  The Vulcan was unsure if he were indeed falling as his vision 
faded from the courtyard, to black, to blue and then re-filled with the 
not-so-familiar image of the transporter room.  As he fell the remaining 
two feet to deck, his mind was momentarily?pleased that he had sufficiently 
programmed the satellite and transporter signal to retrieve them.  That 
pleasure, however, was quickly replaced with the pain of impact.  True, he 
could not have foreseen their falling and compensated for it in the 
sequence but the?shame of causing additional injury to the crew beyond what 
surely had already been suffered was a far different sting than the 
flooring::

 

::Standing, he assisted the awaiting security and medical personnel with 
bringing a majority of the away team to their feet before they were again 
rocked to their knees, the ship lurching beneath them as the lights 
flickered, died and then returned again at less-than-full capacity.  A 
pulsating yellow band illuminated at shoulder level caught his attention as 
it indicated an engineering damage control team was needed immediately.  Ayhan 
rushed to the nearest open console and after only a few strokes, determined 
that the port nacelle had been damaged to such a state that warp speed was 
impossible.  Sure that Lieutenant Commander Pandora had her synthetic hands 
full with other matters, the Vulcan quickly made his way to the damaged 
section.::

 

::Crewmembers, blown out panels, smoking isolinear conduits and other 
various detritus littered the corridors as he closed in on the most 
critical section.  Ayhan attempted to open a Jefferies tube access panel 
but the bulkhead had warped in such a way that removal was nearly 
impossible.  With his hands.::

 

::Kicking the panel several times, the thinner material buckled enough so 
that he could get his fingers inside the gaps and pry it loose.  Upon 
satisfactorily gaining entrance, the Vulcan positioned his large frame in 
the narrow area and began making repairs in earnest.  It was not before 
long, however, that his body and mind simultaneously began feeling the odd 
sensation that he was to identify with the QSSD, his repairs obviously 
enough to allow FTL travel.  The feeling, however, was superimposed with 
one in which his memories and essence was being ?unraveled?, the memories 
of an additional 35 years being plucked away like stitches from an old 
wound.  Sounds, sights, relationships, lives, deaths; all played in a rapid 
reverse motion, a holovid stuck in the wrong direction.  Then, as soon as 
it had started, it was complete::

 

::Ayhan ?lay? upright in the tube, his mind searching out for the already 
faded memories as one tongues sockets of long-removed teeth.  Minutes?  
Hours?  Time marched as he thought, repaired, and thought again before 
Fleet Captain Turner?s voice penetrated his revere.  Shore leave?  Truly it 
was deserved and he would finally have the time to investigate the embassy 
and area where he would spend the majority of his time.  Unfortunately, 
that time would have to wait? he was on Bravo shift.::

      

 

 

*((Duronis II, Embassy Shipyard))*

 

::The Vulcan engineer looked up as footfalls approached the *Charybdis* and 
stopped outside the main cargo door.  As he was the only one inside, it was 
logical to assume that someone was here for him so he secured his tools, 
stood and turned to walk down the gangplank.::

 

::Before him stood a tall and slender young human woman that was not 
un-pleasing to the eye.  Her black hair flowed down to her shoulders and 
framed her face well, dark blue eyes set against her white skin.  His 
glance moved to her gold collar and enlisted rank before returning to her 
gaze::


Ayhan: Yes, Master Chief? 

Aurora ::Handing him the PADD in her hand:: I'm  Master Chief Aurora 
Elliston and I?m here to conduct a health and safety inspection of the ship 
in your possession 

::Ayhan took the PADD and reviewed its contents with several sweeps of his 
fingers.  ?Health and Safety? inspections had been the bane of many of his 
co-enlisted crewmembers existences in his ?prior life? and were not unlike 
the contraband inspections Starfleet forces carried out in the Badlands 
with ships friend and foe alike in a life before that.  He understood why 
they were conducted but chaffed under the idea that items 
in-and-of-themselves were ?bad? or ?good?.  Were they not amoral, lacking 
intrinsic worth outside of that which its owner/user has now given it?  Why 
was it that humans (and, unfortunately, more and more other races and even 
Vulcans) so adamant to restrict things rather than behavior or (even 
better) the results of said behavior?  Glancing up, he saw that now was not 
the time to re-hash his thoughts on item control and handed the PADD back::

 

Ayhan: Understood.  Given the size of the ship and lateness of hour, might 
I assist you in this endeavor?

oO He's pleasant enough... So far Oo 

Aurora: Sure, if you want. I don't expect anything to find anything 
interesting 

Ayhan: If that were the case, Master Chief, we would not need to conduct 
the inspection.  ::The Vulcan?s response was not condescending but bordered 
on bemusement::

Aurora: Have you met the Captain? 

Ayhan: Only in passing during our mission and from what I hear he is quite 
the?eccentric.

Aurora: Sounds... Interesting? ::She laughed awkwardly, she had no idea how 
to talk to Vulcans:: Can you, um well, do you... That is... ::She paused to 
compose herself:: I'll start over here. 

Ayhan: Of course.


::Ayhan left the mainframe search to Elliston while he focused his efforts 
on a physical search, one in which he felt far more suited than his 
counterpart.  Contraband was something that was a specialty of his some 
time ago and the movement of said items was a very intricate dance between 
searcher and seeker.  Hidden panels, recessed access ports, shielded holds, 
mis-labeled containers, holographic cargo?all this and more was used to 
move things and people where they were not legal or desired.::

 

:: Suddenly, the Vulcan?s intimate knowledge of smuggling (though not the 
ship in particular) produced a very unexpected result.  He called out to 
Elliston who had just completed her scan of the ship?s computer core:: 

Aurora: Watcha got? 

Ayhan: I think we need to converse with Captain Arrington immediately?

 | Ensign Ayhan - "From Contraband to Welcomed 'Cargo'" (Tags: Aurora / Arrington / Parker / Partiers)
 | *((Duronis II, Embassy Shipyard))*

Ayhan: =/\= Captain Turner, I believe that you and Captain Arrington should 
join me at his ship?an inspection has revealed something that demands your 
attention. =/\=

Turner: =/\= Can it wait until tomorrow, Ayhan? Say around 0800 hours? 
Captain Arrington is having dinner and I'm on my way home to see my 
children. =/\=

::Ayhan's gaze swept over the 15 bioluminescent canisters neatly tucked 
into the compartment as he crouched on one knee beside their 
previously-hidden entrance.  While their integrity was somewhat 
questionable, they were not going anywhere as long as access to the ship 
was restricted.  The Vulcan would have rather taken care of the issue 
tonight but understood (begrudgingly) that the Captain had other plans.::

::Standing, he looked to Aurora who had moments before joined him at his 
side::

 Ayhan: =/\= 0800 will be acceptable, ma'am.  I will see you then. =/\=

Turner: =/\= Thank you. I appreciate your consideration. By the way, where 
is his ship located. Arrington was asking me earlier, and I told him he 
would have to ask you. =/\=

:: Ayhan nearly sighed audibly; the *Charybdis' *location was no secret and 
he had not gone to any length to keep the information from Arrington.  Why 
the civilian Captain had to go through Turner to get the information was a 
far departure from standard protocol and chain of command.  If Ayhan knew 
better, it would almost seem as if the man was attempting to frustrate the 
engineer:: =/\= Captain Turner, please inform Captain Arrington that he can 
find his ship at the shipyard, enclosed bay Theta, though access to it will 
be restricted until our coming-together tomorrow. =/\=

::While Ayhan turned to the Master Chief to begin a conversation, the comm 
channel that they had thought closed chirped again.::

Turner: =/\= Ayhan, looks like the senior staff has been invited to dinner 
tonight. I hope that you will be able to go. It will be a good place to 
meet everyone. Oh and if Arrington gets in touch with you, perhaps you 
could bring him with you too. =/\=

oO A dinner party? Oo

::Given formality and custom, a dish and gift for the hostess was 
acceptable practice among humans and given the subject of the message that 
his Captain had just forwarded to his PADD, a gift for the new father was 
understood as well.  Where was he to find gifts at this hour and in a place 
that he had barely unpacked in, let alone researched the shopping options?  
The idea of a boisterous party of Starfleet officers and Marines coming 
back from a nearly-fatal mission did not appeal to him in the slightest but 
Ayhan knew that if he were to establish relationships on the ship and in 
the Embassy, it would not be spent meditating in his room.::

::The sigh this time was audible though not so even for Aurora merely two 
feet away.  Ayhan tapped his comm badge::

Ayhan: =/\= I will endeavor to be there and see you at Major Parker's 
residence.  I will also seek out *Charybdis' *Captain for his attendance. 
=/\=

::Waiting a moment longer than he would have normally to make sure that the 
channel was indeed closed, he finally spoke to his female companion::

Ayhan: "Chief Elliston, I'm sure you overheard but this ship and its 
contraband here" ::he said with a subtle sweep of his hand to his 
right-rear:: "and ship will need to be secured.  We will be meeting 
tomorrow morning with the Captains to better understand the situation.  
Until then, it seems that my presence is...requested elsewhere.  Have a 
pleasant evening."

[TAG: AURORA]

*****

*((Duronis II, Junior Officer Quarters, Room 27A))*

::Ayhan looked into the pot as it rolled to a subtle simmer, the thin, tan 
liquid steaming and leaving rivulets of steam up the container's aluminum 
walls.  Taking several leaves from the "tableside" (what he assumed would 
be his candle shelf once he unpacked completely), the Vulcan crushed the 
green leaves between his thumb and forefinger, gently rolling them together 
to allow the chemicals to be released from the plant matter, a tang wafted 
from the flakes as they fluttered down and began floating atop the soup 
like ships on a stormy sea.  Inhaling deeply, Ayhan nodded to himself and 
reduced the heat to the lowest setting::

::Turning to the second dish, the engineer frowned...the krei'la he was 
attempting to make was an abomination given the substitutions that he was 
forced to endure.  True, he knew that nothing else would truly emulate the 
yon-savas (fire-fruit) of Vulcan, but he hoped that the flavor of the 
apricot he did find would blend well with sage.::

::As he worked the large balls into smaller ones, he flattened them and 
placed them on the hot surface he had jury-rigged by running heating 
conduit under a (now removed) maintenance access sheet in the room.  As 
they baked, the very appealing smells filled the room and brought the Ayhan 
back to meals around the meager table his family shared on Volan III.  
True, it might have been considered meager by outsider standards but the 
conversations; lessons in logic, life and liberty; and familial bonds that 
were created there would be foundational to who he was as a Vulcan.  The 
fact that his mother was a cook of ability beyond words did not make 
mealtime a drudgery, this was for sure.::

::Ayhan's comm badge vibrated on the floor next to where he knelt.  Picking 
it up, he called out::

Ayhan: =/\= Ensign Ayhan =/\=

[TAG: ARRINGTON]

Ayhan: =/\= Yes, I was told you were attempting to reach me.  We will meet 
tomorrow with Captain Turner at 0800 in the Embassy Shipyard, Theta 
hangar.  Access to your ship until then is restricted. =/\=

[TAG: ARRINGTON]

 

Ayhan: =/\=I apologize for the inconvenience but it is necessary.  On 
another matter, I have been directed to extend an invitation to you for 
Major Parker's celebration this evening.  I know that Captain Turner 
would...appreciate your attendance. =/\=

[TAG: ARRINGTON]

Ayhan: =/\=Understood.  I will see you then. =/\=

::The timer buzzed softly and Ayhan placed the comm badge back on the 
floor, removed the traditional Vulcan pastries and placed them on a serving 
dish before covering the Plomeek soup.  Standing, he moved to the modest 
dresser and changed into his off-duty attire: sandals, a subdued dark 
bluish-brown long-sleeved robe with thin, muted gold script running 
vertically astride the center clasps, and an overjacket, the latter held 
around his shoulders with a red triangular clasp with his family's crest 
emblazoned upon it in gold script.  It was simple and practical, muted in 
appearance and brightened only by the clasp and Vulcan script.  It also was 
all that he had and he was thankful that it had been offloaded this 
afternoon while he was away::

*****

*((Duronis II, Senior Officer Quarters, Parker Residence))*

::Ayhan immediately recognized the problem when he arrived to the doorway.  
Leaving his room was a simple enough affair though now that he was here, he 
needed to actuate the enunciator, a task made more difficult by his hands 
being quite full.  He obviously was in the right place given the amount of 
conversation that was spilling through the wall and determined that it 
would be an unknown amount of time before another party-goer arrived so he 
used his elbow to strike the chime, carefully balancing the krei'la so that 
they would remain on their intended plate.  The sound was soft against the 
multitude of voices inside and it was several moments before the door 
opened to reveal the Marine for whom the party was held::

Ayhan: Greetings, Major Parker.  Might I congratulate you on your wife's 
pregnancy.

[TAG: PARKER]

Ayhan: I apologize that I do not have an appropriate gift for you but I 
hope that these additions will help feed your growing crowd.

[TAG: PARKER]

Ayhan: You are too kind, sir.

::Following the black Marine, Ayhan stole several looks around the crowd.  
Many he had seen before (at least in passing) though some were brand new.  
Many children were here as well and seemed as jubilant as the adults.  
Alcohol was flowing freely as a short and slender brown-haired woman drank 
a clear liquid that she seemed to find quite agreeable while Major Adarnis 
finished what was obviously not his first libation of the night.  A 
slight-in-stature female Vulcan in a (somewhat non-Vulcan) fetching 
midnight blue and jade dress was conversing with a dapper and 
ostentatiously-dressed...Human? Betazoid?  Humanoid at any rate though 
Ayhan was unsure.::

::Placing the soup and pastries on the table astride other delectable 
items, the Vulcan engineer met the gaze of Parker's wife::

Ayhan: This, ::slowly dropping his chin and gaze to the pot:: is Plomeek 
soup while this, ::performing the same action though towards the scone-like 
objects:: are krei'la, a traditional Vulcan pastry.

[TAG: ALLISON]

Ayhan: It is the least I could do though I apologize that I do not have 
something more...personable for you to commemorate the occasion.  Perhaps 
at a later time.

[TAG: ALLISON]

Ayhan: Of course.  I'll leave you to your guests and thank you for the 
invitation.

::Turning and stepping away from the food so that others could move past 
him, Ayhan surveyed the room.  He was not often one to start conversations 
and thought it best to at least observe for a few moments before wading 
into the social sea that swirled around him.  If he wished to meet his 
fellow crewmen, this most certainly was the place and time to do so...::

((OOC: Feel free to start up a conversation...don't worry, Ayhan doesn't 
bite (luckily, Vulcans are vegitarians!).))

 | ((Sickbay, USS Atlantis))



JAMES: Sarah...have you tried talking to Tama or Emerson or  about this?



TALENS: No.. No, I haven?t.. I doubt they?d want to talk to me anyway.. I
betrayed their trust!



JAMES: Okay, the first thing you have to do is stop blaming yourself.
What's done is done. Think you can try that?



TALENS: ::after a long pause:: I think I can..



JAMES: Good. Step two, is talk to Emerson and Tama.



TALENS: ::looking away:: But.. it?s not that easy!



JAMES: I know it's hard, but you need to confront them.



TALENS: Confront them? The last I confronted them all hell broke loose!



::Their conversation was interrupted by the Captain hailing Crewman James.
Sarah cringed and turned her entire body to her side, bringing up her knees
to her chest and hugging them tight. How was she ever going to face
Blueheart again? Did he even know? When their conversation was over, she
heard Aurora sigh and speak to her.::



JAMES: Sorry Sarah, I have to go. But Start with Tama, confront him. I'll
check in with you tomorrow for an update and a followup.



TALENS: Okay...


:: Aurora walked out of sickbay hoping Sarah would just talk to them They
needed to hear an apology, from her. The first step to regaining trust was
conversation. Aurora walked to the Captain's ready room and Rang the chime.
::


((Captain's Ready Room))


BLUEHEART: Enter.



JAMES: Reporting for duty Sir.


:: AJ was unusually stiff in the presence of the Captain, last time she was
in here she had just gotten a demotion and was here for a counseling
session. ::



BLUEHEART: Please. ::gesturing for her to take a seat:: Can I get you
something to drink?



JAMES: No, thank you Sir.



BLUEHEART: How is Sarah Talens doing? I hear you?ve been working with her?



JAMES: She's a mess, but I told her to confront Tama...I intend to do a
follow up with her tomorrow.



BLUEHEART: Good job, and.. thanks. ::He smiled.::



JAMES: Thank you Sir.



BLUEHEART: ::pause:: I?ve been reviewing your files and well.. long story
short, I?m promoting you to ensign. Congratulations, Ensign James.



JAMES: Thank you Sir.


:: Her eyes sparkled with joy as he spoke. She wasn't expecting the worst
of it to be over this soon. ::



BLUEHEART: ::nodding:: Keep up the good work, Ensign.



JAMES: Thank you again Sir. Now back to Sarah for a moment, I get the
feeling that there is more to her guilt then she's lead me to believe...
has she done or said anything that worried you as her CO that I need to
work with her on?


BLUEHEART: ?


JAMES: Okay, I'll bring it up.


BLUEHEART: ?


JAMES: Now on to you for a moment if I may, how are you holding up?


BLUEHEART: ?


:: AJ just nodded as the CO continued ::

::Aurora stood by the wreckage of what was formerly a shuttle, raising her
chin.  She knew the cause, and who did it, but it would not be beneficial
to her should she release details of the incident to the higher brass.::

oO Let them wonder... Oo

::However, she did have a duty to report the incident.::

Aurora:  If... ::Beat.:: I must...

::Completely unaffected by the flames that rose from the wreckage, she
slowly tapped her commbadge.::

Aurora: =/\= Lieutenant... ::She corrected herself.:: I mean Ensign Aurora
to Commander Yates. =/\=

Yates: Response?

::The Deltan woman ran her hand over her bare skull, feeling the touch of
her fingertips.  It was a habit that she picked up from a man which she
once admired.::

Aurora: =/\= I have an incident to report Commander... =/\=

Yates: Response?

::She slowly walked around the shuttle, ensuring that none of her
fingerprints or other materials were anywhere in the vicinity.::

Aurora: =/\= ::Insincerely.:: It was a tragedy.  Two casualties, it may be
hard to identify the bodies... =/\=

Yates: Response?

::She tugged at her uniform, it felt uncomfortable, yet all too familiar.
The woman wore the gold of security, tasked with protecting the space
station from a number of tragedies from occurring.  Though, she did not
seem to feel very bad about the passengers in the shuttle.::

Aurora: =/\= I would gladly wait here for....  Ahem, the possibility of the
transgressor still being present. =/\=

Yates: Response?

::Her hand held a phaser, though she did not appear to be concerned about
the security of the area.  Inside her mind lay a multitude of unsaid
words.::

 | (( Deep Space 17, Shuttlebay ))

::The woman held her phaser loosely, either not aware or unconcerned about
the danger that may be near.  Instead, she calmly continued the
communication.::

Aurora: =/\= I would gladly wait here for....  Ahem, the possibility of the
transgressor still being present. =/\=

Yates: =/\= Aurora. Tell me what happened down there.=/\=

::She paused, realizing that indeed she had not passed on the full incident
of the report.::

Aurora: =/\= Of course Commander... ::She began detailing the incident.::
 There was a rather loud explosion that was heard as I was going on my
rounds.  I entered the shuttlebay and found the wreckage of a shuttle...
::Beat.:: I can send you the details if you like.  Anyway, no alarms or
other notices went out, which is why I contacted you sir. =/\=

Yates: =/\= Have you contacted your Chief yet? =/\=

::The words hit her ears as she stared questioningly into the distance.  Of
course she didn't contact her chief yet.  Pieces needed to fall into place
in order, and breaking the chain of command was one of those pieces.::

Aurora: =/\= Not yet sir.  I was hoping to inform the higher brass as soon
as this occurred so as to prepare for the diplomatic repercussions.  This
may be murder, and there are no sensor readings regarding the assailant who
started all of this. =/\=

::Questions needed to be asked, investigations started.  She raised her
hand and looked at her fingernails.  Had she informed her chief, there
would have been passageways blocked, a manhunt started, alarms raised.
No... things needed to go much more smoothly.::

Yates: =/\= If you think this is a murder then it's in Security's
jurisdiction. Ops will clear the shuttle-bay and keep it that way, and
assist in any way we can. =/\=

oO Interesting response... Oo

::Her eyes gazed towards the shuttle which contained the charred bodies.
She wondered if Yates would be so willing to pass this off if he knew the
passengers that lay inside.::

Aurora: =/\= If that is the way you would like to proceed, so be it sir.  I
shall contact my superior immediately. =/\=

::About to tap the commbadge to cut off the communication, she stopped.::

oO Another piece... Oo

Aurora: =/\= Just... one more thing sir. =/\=

Yates: =/\= Response? =/\=

::Coughing gently to convey a level of sincerity, she spoke.::

Aurora: =/\= There was a cryptic message that was uploaded to my PADD as
soon as I entered the bay.  I will send the original message to the chief
of security and yourself, since it is directed towards your department. =/\=

Yates: =/\= Response? =/\=

::Smiling softly, she nodded her head.::

Aurora: =/\= Of course Commander. =/\=

Yates: =/\= Response if any. =/\=

::The Deltan woman tapped the badge, ending the communication.  With little
hesitation, she began the procedure of sending the message to the
appropriate departments.  As she did so, she read the message internally.::

oO Beware the syndicate.  Sue shall pay for her transgressions.  Yates will
bury himself in a hole of his own making.  Remove the snake's head, and
more shall grow. Oo

::It was grim, and rather disorganized.  However, it did not concern her.
She had a task to fulfill, and her time was running out.::

 | Ensign Aurora - Better Things to Do
 | (( Deep Space 17, Security Offices ))

::Aurora sat at her desk with her arms folded.  She wore a white dress and
heels.  It was hardly a practical outfit, but she was also not on duty.
Despite her aversion to socializing on the Starbase, she preferred a
certain style of dress that was extravagant   The dress flowed down her
side, with a slit that ran up her leg.  Its material accentuated her
curves, displaying her Deltan roots.::

oO Such an exciting dress for such a boring evening... Oo

::Her ears picked up the whispers of the other officers.  Some were scared,
some... just did not know what to think.  It had been a full day since the
incident, and there had been no leads.::

oO And there will be none. Oo

::The musings were all-knowing, but there would be no telling from her lips
what happened or what will come.  To the casual observer, she was merely
looking through security logs and other reports.  However, what was
actually happening was a series of encrypted signals being sent from
discreet locations.  Every touch of the keyboard was another fragment, sent
off to be picked up like a breadcrumb.::

oO So little time... yet all the time in the world. Oo

::Her work was difficult, but she did not let the strain show on her face.
Despite her outward heritage, she pulled off a very cool and almost
heartless personality.  This was a rather new development, as officers
still came up to her thinking that they were still acquaintances... or even
more hilarious, friends.::

Aurora: ::In a hushed whisper.:: Just a few more...

::Every word was calculated, every movement of her hand had a meaning.  She
would have sat there for hours, had not she received a message.::

Aurora: ::Raising her eyebrow.:: And... what is this?

::Her eyes scanned the lines as she, only for a moment, flashed with
anger.  Her cool deposition returned a second later, but she was not
pleased.  Immediately, she stopped typing, and stood up.  It was with such
speed, that the chair that she was sitting in careened towards the wall
behind her, and made a very noticeable dent.  The security office became
silent as faces glanced towards her direction, a mistake on their behalf.
Aurora met their gazes with cold eyes, intimidating most of them.::

Aurora: ::Stiffly.:: Mind your business.

::She was certain she had offended at least one of the Lieutenants, but she
did not care as she walked gracefully towards an office in the back.  Soon,
she reached the door and hit the chime.::

Aurora: ::Without emotion.:: Ensign Aurora as requested... ::Beat.:: Sir.

OOC: This is the Chief of Security's office.  Should anyone want to, they
can create an NPC and join in on the fun :)

IC:

Anyone: Response?

::Her eyes drifted towards the nameplate on the wall.  It was dusty due to
age, and the current chief of security had yet to update it.  Within
seconds, the door opened and she walked inside.::

Aurora: ::Irritated.:: Sir, I would have you know that I was on my....
::She looked to her right, seeing another man in the room.::  Commander
Yates?

Anyone/Yates: Response?

Aurora: ::As a matter of fact.:: I guess it would be safe to assume that
things have escalated?

Anyone/Yates: Response?

::Soundlessly, she grabbed a chair and sat down in it, not asking
permission to do so.  If the Chief had the audacity to call her in on her
time off, she would be more than willing to be more lax in her own
behaviour.::

Aurora: ::Crossing her arms.:: I believe all of the information I provided
in the report was comprehensive... ::Beat.:: Involving me further.... ::She
coughed.::  would be above my rank so to speak.

Anyone/Yates: Response?

::Her eyes flashed, looking at the two officers.  She had a timeline, and
here she was, things slowly moving off schedule due to bureaucratic
oversight.::

oO I must have been a part of the Orion Syndicate in a past life. Oo

::The woman raised her right hand and waved it in defeat.::

Aurora: ::Bluntly.:: Very well...  what would you like to know?

Anyone/Yates: Response?

::The Deltan woman's emotions were in a flurry.  A million things that she
would have liked to say, but would have compromised her mission.  Lives
were at stake... and the officers here were more of a liability than
anything else.::

seemed to look ill.::

Yates: Lots, Aurora. Lots. ::He leaned slightly forward.:: For one, are you
alright? You seem a bit stressed out about having to be involved with this.

Aurora: ::Raising her eyebrow.:: Stressed is not the word I would use&hellip;.
Commander.

::Yates emotions kept going, and he wasn't going to let up. He needed to
figure out what was going on, and now. Really, right this moment,
immediately, instantly, now!::

Yates: No, I mean, hell, I'd be a bit shaken up at least, but you just seem
frustrated! It makes me think that you might know just a bit more than
you're letting on. ::Beat, voice raising.:: And I very much would like to
find out before I, a random bureaucrat *explodes* in a fiery death!

::Yates was nearly yelling now, pupils wide and breath heavy. Then he looked
at her head. It was bald. Very bald. No... she couldn't be Deltan? He looked
down at his hands, clenched. His brow, moist with sweat. His heart pounding,
more than it would have with standard explosion-fear. Not normal.
Pheromones? Likely. Deltan? Most likely.::

::He took a sharp breath in and staggered backwards, knocking over the chair
behind him. Definitely not good. Not good at all.::

::Aurora&rsquo;s eyes coldly watched the situation unfold before her. &nbsp;With her
quick reflexes, she immediately steadied the larger officer and sat him down
in the chair.::

Aurora: ::She turned to the security Chief.:: &nbsp;If you could help hold him
down&hellip;

Yates: What?! ::Huffing:: Don&rsquo;t you dare!

::Despite her rank, it was an order, not a request. &nbsp;Reaching around her
into a purse, she pulled out a hypo that she always had on hand, a
requirement for all Deltans. &nbsp;Since she was off duty, Aurora was in her
civilian clothes and had the ability to carry extraneous items.::

Aurora: ::Putting her hands on the man&rsquo;s shoulder, she forced him down.::
&nbsp;This will just take a second.

::She pushed down on the hypo, as she watched the contents flow into the
large man&rsquo;s body.::

Yates: Wha-- Stop! ::He bellowed, his thick arms moving too slow to push her
off in time.:: Wha--- ::He felt his strength leave him, rage falling to
nothing. It was an artificial low as his emotions were brutally
suppressed.::

Aurora: &nbsp;That is a stop-gap measure at best since my hormones are active
since I am off duty. &nbsp;::She looked deep into Yates eyes.:: Are you lucid
enough?

::Yates could still feel his emotions bubbling within, forced down beneath a
weakening barrier.::

Yates: Make this quick, Aurora.

Aurora: ::Continuing.:: As I was saying&hellip; &nbsp;This is much larger than I
originally anticipated. &nbsp;And all that I can tell is that there is danger in
the fleet.

Yates: Beyond a threat on my life?

::All of her work lead to this point, but she didn&rsquo;t want to make it obvious
her intentions.::

Aurora: ::Softly.:: The Gemini sir&hellip; &nbsp;And the only way to uncover more
information would be to send me there. &nbsp;As an Ensign, I would remain under
the radar.

Yates: What? Why? What does that have to do with me?

Aurora: ::The woman spoke as if her words were above her rank.:: &nbsp;You need
to authorize the request. &nbsp;::She paused to take a breath, almost
exasperated.:: &nbsp;It is vital that it does not appear to be my own idea.

Yates: Aurora, I am sending you nowhere unless you tell me what is going on.
Then, if you give me good reason I&rsquo;d be more than happy to send you wherever
the hell you want.

::The woman fumed internally, clenching her fists from view. &nbsp;While she did
so, she quickly thought of the optimal way to respond.::

Aurora: ::Biting her lip, something that was not prone to her personality.::
Because it's important to the good of your well-being Yates. &nbsp;::She looked
directly into her superior&rsquo;s eyes, without emotion.:: You will die if I do
not uncover this, and what makes this worse is that others may perish at
well. &nbsp;Lives that I cherish more than your own.

::Sitting comfortably in the chair, the young woman waited patiently.  She
hadn't set up a formal meeting with the lieutenant commander, but given her
rather quick transfer, Aurora was more than patient.  The Deltan woman knew
that Atimen's shift would be starting soon, and she wanted to see him in
person.  Hearing a sound behind her, she tilted her head.::

Atimen: Response?

::Standing up, the woman brushed herself off.  A PADD in her other hand,
she proffered her free hand forward.::

Aurora: Commander Atimen. ::She smiled.:: It is a pleasure to finally meet
you.

Atimen: Response?

::Gripping her other arm, she evaluated the tall man.::

Aurora: Apologies, the name is Ensign Aurora.  I am going to be the newest
member of your security staff.

Atimen: Response?

::Clasping the PADD she had in hand, she tapped it a few times to pull up
an encrypted message.::

Aurora: Oh right.  This is for you.  ::She handed the device over.::  The
message is encrypted, so I am afraid that I don't know the contents.  You
should be able to unlock it with your security key.

Atimen: Response?

::It was a lie, but a small one at best.  Such devices were easy to decrypt
if you had the right tools.::

Aurora: Sorry if I am so forward, I just heard so much about you.  ::She
paused, letting the words sink in.:: Given your service record, there are a
number of things I would love to learn from you.

Atimen: Response?

::She was impressed about his service record, but had lied about needing to
learn from him.  Years of marine training had taught her almost everything,
security being what was needed, she had adapted accordingly.::

oO So much to know Atimen... Oo

TAG and TBC!

 | Ensign Aurora - Late for a Date... Medically Speaking
 | (( Security Office, USS Gemini ))

::Aurora was very aware of her social faux paus.  However, in order to play
her part completely, the woman had to made calculated errors in her
behaviour, as to not arouse suspicion.::

Aurora: Sorry if I am so forward, I just heard so much about you.
::She paused,
letting the words sink in.:: Given your service record, there are a number
of things I would love to learn from you.

Atimen: Hah!

::Luckily, Atimen appeared to take the comment normally as he chuckled.::

Atimen: My service record... ::He turned, picking up a picture and looking
at it.:: Don't read too much into that; there's not much good you can learn
from me.

Aurora: ::Frowning slightly.:: Nonsense!  No one makes Lieutenant Commander
believes that Ensigns can't learn anything from them.

::She leaned her back against the chair.  Despite her joyful outward
appearance, Aurora inwardly was concerned.  If Atimen was less than up for
the task that would be thrust upon him, people could die.  Worse... he
could die.::

oO Its too early to tell. Oo

::Her eyes gazed towards the picture, as Atimen put it into his bag.::

Atimen: Either way, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm looking
forward to working
together in the upcoming months. ::He smiled as he looked at the PADD.::
Appreciate this as well, I'll take a look at it shortly.

::The woman looked to the PADD, realizing that something had completely
fallen out of her control.  However, she didn't let it bother her as she
cleared her throat.::

Aurora: The pleasure is all mine....  ::She let out a small gasp.::  Oh no!

Atimen: Response?

::Looking at the time, she realized that in her wait for Atimen, Aurora
almost missed her appointment with the medical officer.  If she wasn't
cleared for duty, her entire mission could be in jeopardy.::

Aurora: ::Flustered.:: I am still adjusting to the ship apparently.  Things
seem to move so much slower here than on Deep Space 17.  ::She rubbed her
temples.:: Just hear me rambling in front of a superior officer.

Atimen: Response?

Aurora: ::Bowing her head slightly.:: Thank you very much for your time
Atimen....  ::She paused.::  It is very much appreciated as things are a
bit rushed.

Atimen: Response?

::She was completely unaware that she had called the superior officer so
informally.  It was almost as if it was a habit that had just recently been
remembered.::

Aurora: ::Rushing towards the door.::  Have a good day sir!  Let the stars
shine favourably among you.

Atimen: Response?

::Making it into the hallway, Aurora resumed a slow walk, her face losing
all emotion.  Her body became stoic and prepared, as if waiting for the
worst to happen.::

oO Eyes and ears.... everywhere. Oo

 | PNPC Ensign Aurora - Blemishes and Imperfections
 | (( Shared Quarters, USS Gemini ))

::Aurora completed her packing in a short amount of time.  So far,
everything was on schedule and according to plan.  Sitting in front of the
mirror, she gazed at the reflection of her roommates side of the room.  It
was clean to the point of obsession, something that caused the woman to
smile.::

oO Alice... you will never change. Oo

::The thought quickly turned to a flash of anger after having to deal with
the transporter chief, who had been the former occupant of the room.
Frankly, Aurora had very little patience to deal with the human woman, so
her actions were a bit more... direct than usual.  It was likely that Arisu
would retaliate in the future, but that was a calculated risk.::

oO And it appears that other people do not change either... Oo

::In a small handbag that she had brought with her, inside was a brush that
she gingerly pulled out.  To anyone else it would have seemed strange, as
Deltans were bald.  However, for Aurora is held a very specific purpose.
Taking one more glance towards the entrance of the room to ensure she was
alone, she stared long and hard at the mirror before her.  She touched the
smooth skin of her skull and ran her delicate fingers around it, looking
for discontinuities.  With a sigh, she felt the all-too familiar feeling of
a hair.::

oO Not again... Oo

::Bringing it to the light, she noticed how it flickered in colour.
Slowly, she took the brush in her handbag, and moved it across the stray
hair.  Almost instantly, it was absorbed and disappeared, leaving a
completely smooth area.::

oO What else... Oo

::Standing up, she examined her body for other blemishes.  One area she
looked in particular was her right elbow.  To her disdain, she saw another
familiar landmark in the form of a heart-shaped birthmark that she carried
for her entire life.  This time, she ran her index and middle finger
against the afflicted region, in which the birthmark slowly dissipated,
replaced with cream coloured skin.::

Aurora: Hmm?

::Taking her brush and almost throwing it into her handbag, she looked up
and saw that her roommate had returned.::

Aurora: ::Gently.:: Why hello Mr. Maes.  ::She motioned to the items she
had unpacked.::  I tried to leave the room in as good of state as I could
while I moved everything in.

::The ensign before her looked nervous, but replied in earnest.::

Maes: Alice is fine...  ::Her eyes drifted towards the room.  It had never
been this clean while she roomed with Arisu.::

::Aurora stood up, and continued talking.::

Aurora: ::Smiling.:: You may call me Aurora then.  Would you mind if I
happened to take your attention for the next hour as to meet my new
roommate?

::It was obvious that Maes yearned to say no, but she swallowed her
intentions, forcing a smile.::

Maes: I don't see why not.

Aurora: ::Clapping her hands together.:: Wonderful!

::Putting her handbag away, she began chatting with Maes.  Small talk
really.  However, out of the corner of her eyes, she kept eyeing the
woman's arm.::

oO I hope she didn't notice... Oo

TBC!

 | (( Outside Main Engineering, USS Gemini ))

::Aurora was patrolling the hallways for gamma shift, a task that she was
certain she received due to her rather impersonal nature.  Not that she
particularly cared of course.  Other than trying to strike up the most
basic of friendships with her roommates, Aurora had much better things to
do while she was off duty.::

oO Privilege of Starfleet... Oo

::She continued walking down the hallway, noticing that she had yet to
encounter anyone.  Gamma shift was as it always was, dead.  However, as she
was thinking about how such a large ship had such inactive crew, the woman
was thrown off of her feet completely.  With a crash, she landed head first
towards a wall, where darkness greeted her.::

(( Timewarp, Minutes Later ))

::The throbbing pain of head trauma woke the woman up in the corridor.
Opening up her eyes, she saw that the hallways were dark, likely due to
loss of power.  Shivering, she stood up, realizing how cold it was in the
hallways.  Another bad sign.::

oO Where... am I? Oo

::She reached up to her forehead, and felt a caked layer of blood.
Whatever happened to her, at least the bleeding had stopped.  Getting a
feel for her features, everything seemed to be in order.  Running her hand
through her hair, which was a calm light green at the moment, she exhaled
calmly.::

Adrura: ::In relief.:: What kind of mess has the Tiger gotten into this
time?

::Still feeling that her head was reeling from pain, she clenched her jaw.
With all of her changes in department, it was her duty as a marine to keep
things under control.  As such, the woman headed into another room, still
trying to ascertain her location.::

(( Main Engineering, USS Gemini ))

::Jill slowly became aware of the fact that she was no longer on her own
ship.  Even in the darkness, she could tell that she was in Main
Engineering, but it was on no ship that she had ever been on.  This brought
up a number of questions, all of which brought pain.::

oO What is... this? Oo

Konstava: :: Hoarsely. :: Anybody alive out there?

::Instinct drove her as the woman walked over to the man's location.::

Adrura: Lieutenant Adrura, Marine support.  Do you need assistance?

Konstava: Response?

::It would be natural that the man had no idea who she was.  Furthermore,
there were other discrepancies that Jill was beginning to take hold of.
The first of which was the fact that she was wearing a gold uniform
as opposed to her typical marine green.::

Adrura: ::Nervously.:: I'm not quite sure what is going on here....

Konstava: Response?

::The woman's head continued to ache as she continued to gain her bearings
and use of all of her facilities.::

oO But... where am I? Oo
