@*XO*: Conor, I'm on my way to speak with Captain Williams.  Contact me if you need anything.  ::walks down the corridor::

*CO* Understood, I'll be sure to let you know if I take her out for a joyride in the meantime

Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Quietly browsing in a shop on the Starbase, secretly feeling a bit spooked...but trying steadfastly to ignore it::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::continues walking while reading info on a PADD and almost bumps into someone:: OPS: Cadet, you look a little lost.  Can I help direct you somewhere?
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Sitting in a cafe on the Starbase sipping some coffee::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
@::pauses to speak with the Captain, wondering why he'd possibly think she was list and putting it down to the usual 'cadet's don't know anything' excuse:: CO: Not list, Sir. Just heading over to the Cataria.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up from behind the desk and heads out into the corridor, on his way to the bridge::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Walking the corridors of the Starbase, looking for anything at all interesting...he's basically exhausted all of his options, and without a preponderance of work, has no outlet for his free time::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::summons the TL and enters when it arrives, ordering it to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@OPS: If you are our newest crewmember, I suggest you report in ASAP cadet.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::exits onto the bridge, heading for the helm to see if they had kept his presets and whether he would have to reprogram them::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
@CO: Yes Sir, that's exactly what I am doing.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::checks his present is still secured in his locker and starts making his way towards to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@OPS: Carry on.  ::continues on....walking down the corridor until he arrives outside the Captain's office::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
@::continues walking towards the Cataria, wondering what that was all about::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs, opens his personal directory in the computer and accesses his flight control presets to load it onto the console::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
@::Squeezes on her boots and looks at herself in the mirror. She has to compliment the Doctor for getting her face back to normal, even her brow ridges were right. Hopes that her new uniform is comfortable, feels she shouldn't have gone to the station's tailor.::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Browses shops for the third time on this particular lap around the deck, hoping he'll notice something different that he hadn't before::
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Looks over some shops from outside them, looking a bit bleary-eyed::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::steps in to the Captain's office and approaches his assistant::  Assistant: I am Captain Knight.  I believe Captain Williams is expecting me.  ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::steps out on to the bridge and takes a quick glance around to see if all the battle damaged has been repaired::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Finally gives up on the current shop...nothing really to satisfactorily divert her attention, and instead decides to grab a drink before heading on...turns out of the shop::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Access file Varesh Presets Flight Four and apply to the Helm console.
Host SMLea says:
@<Assistant> CO: He is.  ::Smiles, and presses a button:: *SB514_CO*: Captain Knight here to see you, Sir.
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_Williams>*Assistant*: Send him in.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::stops to check a wall panel for directions to her quarters::
Host SMLea says:
@<Assistant>::Smiles:: CO: Go ahead.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hears the doors open and looks over his shoulder:: XO: Greetings, sir. Ready to get under way again?
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
@::Heads to the Cataria, hoping that the rest of her uniforms were delivered.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Assistant: Thank you.  ::walks through into the Captain's office::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Walks uncomfortably out of the shop and down the corridor, approaching the cafe nearby::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Good to be home, they change your presets again? ::takes his seat::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::flips open his console and starts reviewing more paperwork::
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>::Looks up and lowers his PADD, standing:: CO: Captain Knight!  Good to see you.  ::Extends his hand:: Thanks again for what you and the Cataria did for 514.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs:: XO: Completely deleted them, sir. Just as well I keep copies of my presets for each ship I've served on. I've advised Aaron to do the same but I don't think he's loaded any yet.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::doesn't take the time to look around her new quarters, simply throws her bag onto a sofa and leaves before the door can even close again::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: Good to see you again Captain.  ::extends his hand in return:: To be honest, if it wasn't for the Claymore's help, you might not be thanking me.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: For what we gave them ten days ago, I'd forgive them this time. ::looks around::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::takes a look around, his eyes flitting over the spot where he had ended up during that fight before waking in Sickbay:: XO: Agreed. I'll forgive them this time.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Casually glances around as she takes a cup from her cup, and freezes for the slightest fraction of a second::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Just once I'd like to serve on a ship where my blood doesn't soak the decking.
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: I'll be personally extending my gratitude to Captain T'Shara as well.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Grimaces, already awkward decision-making for something like this made worse by tiredness, but steps into a shop anyway::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Good, everything checking out so far? I'm still going through the mountain of paperwork but I see our torpedo loadout is now 80% quantum based.
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>::Settles back into his seat, gesturing to one across the deck from him:: CO: Now that you're here, however...
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Passes by into an area more dominated by restaurants, and looks around, feeling a bit hungry after his workout earlier::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Nothing quite like marking the ship in your own unique way.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: Yes, your message seemed to be important.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: XO: I'd rather graffiti the turbolift walls. ::looks down at the console:: All checking out so far, my office is just as bland as before and my bed is in the same place, so all is well.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::On board the Cataria, she meets one of her security personnel.:: TO_Ens_Orbison: Report.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::walks onto the bridge, catching only the bit from the CNS about his bed::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Walks into the little side-walk cafe like area and settles into a table, leaning back tiredly::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hears the doors open, feels a new presence and looks over his shoulder again, noticing the Cadet::
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: Well, it's something, anyway.  ::Leans back and pulls open a drawer, withdrawing a PADD, then slides it across the deck:: Your new orders from Starfleet Commander.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::catches the PADD as it approaches him on the table and brings up the orders::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
<TO_Ens_Orbison> CTO: Ma'am! All's quiet aboard the Cataria. No Vroa present, no unauthorized persons had been aboard.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::As he passes a cafe with tables out front, tilts his head slightly with dim recognition, then smiles and waves as he sees Raeyld::
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>::While Knight is looking them over, he recaps verbally:: CO: You and certain members of your senior staff are to be ferried to Risa via the USS Claymore. The Cataria will remain docked here until further notice.  We will continue to make available ever amenity to your officers during their stay, of course.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::nods politely to the CNS as she moves to the command center and greets the XO:: XO: Commander, I have orders to report on board to Captain Knight; however I saw he is occupied on the station. ::hands over her transfer orders::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::takes the transfer orders and glances them over::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods to the Cadet in turn, turning the chair around to watch her reporting in::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::silently waits wondering why no-one with 3 or more pips ever says 'hello'::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: I appreciate you extending the courtesy to my crew.  I know they are not too thrilled with just sitting around, but I have a feeling it won't last long.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Senses someone after her attention and glances up, then smiles:: CTO: Commander!
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Manages to swallow her coffee, and tries for another draught to smooth that one over, but freezes again::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Gestures to the chair opposite hers:: CTO: Please.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Well you get to see me which is better. Welcome aboard Cadet. I hope you are as good as the academy believes because there is going to be one hell of a learning curve out here. I see you've been assigned quarters already, have you settled in already?
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: I wish I could say for some certainty, but yes, my gut agrees with you.  The Claymore is slated for departure tomorrow, so you have that long to get the listed officers ready and embarked.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Most of his waffling done outside the shops, finds what he wants relatively quickly and buys a nice, presumably unreplicated gift box, and exits the store::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::waits for the Cadet to finish talking to Conor before he'll introduce himself::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: Acknowledged.  Say, before we depart, how about we meet for a drink later.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
TO_Ens_Orbison: Thank you, Ensign. Report to the main armory. I want a full inventory of weapons and equipment have it ready by 1800, carry on. ::Forgot how nervous Orbison was around her.::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Walks toward Raeyld's table and is pulling out the chair when he glances across the cafe...hesitating for a moment, but deciding his course is set, pulls up the chair and has a seat::  Clay_CMO:  How are you, Commander?  ::Folds his hands in his lap, looking casual::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
XO: Thank you Sir, I hope the academy were right as well and it wasn't just the bottle of Romulan ale I managed to acquire for the dean.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::After a brief evaluation, she determines that getting up to leave would actually increase the chances of her drawing attention, so instead she settles down to read her PADD with a little movement as possible, tracking the meeting unfolding before her::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances over at the console, smiles in satisfaction as his presets are confirmed::
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: Sure. You find the time, let me know. Sometime late tonight, if possible.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Steps into a turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: You can count on it.  ::gets up from his chair::  Oh, may I ask one other thing of you?
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Well if he was wrong, I'm sure we can arrange to have your remains shipped back to him in a small box.
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: Of course.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: OPS: You'll fit right in, Cadet. ::gets up and walks over:: I'm Cmdr. Varesh, the counselor. I look forward to your first evaluation. ::gives Conor a significant look when talking about evals, most of the senior staff were overdue::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
XO: I see Starfleet spares no expense. ::turns to the CNS and offer her hand:: CNS: A pleasure, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::glares back at the CNS:: CNS: Like I don't have enough paperwork already?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: My wife, the Andromeda's CMO and I, have decided to have our children and herself stay here on SB514 for the duration of this mission.  Would you do me a personal favor and just make sure they are safe?
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Rubs at his eyes and resists the urge to yawn, wandering off toward the restaurant section mostly just to move around some more::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes the offered hand:: OPS: We'll talk again, I'll leave you to our XO's tender mercies. ::returns to his console and starts tapping buttons again::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over his shoulder:: XO: At this rate I'll declare you all insane and take over command, but I don't want to do the paperwork, so you're safe.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: If you are settled in, take your station. I'm about to delegate all this paperwork to you. We've undergone major repairs in the last 9 days. I want to know if we're ready to depart.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
XO: Yes Sir. ::moves to her console:: Paperwork is why I joined Starfleet. Exploration is overrated. ::smiles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smothers a laugh at the Cadet's rejoinder::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Good, I have plenty of it for you ::forwards a copy of various reports to OPS console::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::The turbolift doors slide open revealing the Bridge to the CTO.::
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: Absolutely, Captain. You have my word.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::looks behind him and sees the CTO:: CTO: Nice of you to join us today, I was getting afraid you had forgotten where the bridge was.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: I owe you one Captain! ::smiles::  Now, if you will excuse me, I want to make sure we're on track for departure.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: I'll contact you later for that drink.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at the CTO over his shoulder and taps the last command on the console::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::glances over the console and savors the moment she first uses it::
Host SMLea says:
@<SB514_CO_Williams>CO: Look forward to it, Captain. ::Grins and stands:: Good luck!
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Her smile warbles a little as she shrugs:: CTO: To be honest, not handling the calm before the storm very well.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Pauses outside a cafe, struck by an uncharacteristic and nearly jaw-dislocating yawn, before shaking his head and managing to return some of his usual appearance::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Nods at the CNS and takes tactical.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Williams: Thanks.....I'll take all the luck we can get!  ::heads out of the office::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up:: XO: If you'll excuse me sir, I promised Sierra I'll drop by sickbay and make sure they are ready.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Continues to surreptitiously monitor the Claymore officers' conversation as she sips her coffee and reads her PADD::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*XO*: Conor, I'm on my way back to the Cataria.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: I want department status reports on departure readiness in the next hour.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::nods at the CNS::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
*CO* Understood, we'll be waiting with the lights on.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*XO*: That's good, because I'm afraid of the dark!
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::gets the paperwork and realizes the XO has been remiss in his duties for far too long - it will take hours to go through::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::heads for the TL::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@Clay_CMO:  Ah, I don't think anyone is.  ::Shakes his head a moment and sinks back into his seat -- as he does so, he looks up and spots Kytides, and offers a wave::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: I'm sure if I'm not here then I am probably in Stovokor, or passed out drunk.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters as the doors hiss open and orders it down to sickbay::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Logs in to her console.::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Next time then I'll be sure to send out a security party looking for a drunken passed out CTO in a corridor somewhere.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Winces:: CTO: I don't know. I just have this sense.... ::Trails off::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::exits as the TL stops and heads down the corridor to Sickbay::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::goes over the latest reports and does a general systems check, using a checklist::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Shakes head at the departing XO and calls up weapons status report.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters sickbay, looking around for Sky's 2IC::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<MO_Wilcox>::Looks up from his work, seeing Varesh enter sickbay:: CNS: Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: You and I are going to have a frank discussion about the Vroa success last time and what we're going to do to prevent a reoccurrence. In the meantime I've got you a torpedo loadout of 80% quantum.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Blinks, looking toward the wave and, upon seeing Damrok and Raeyld, blinks a couple more times rapidly to try to gain some alertness before approaching::  Clay_CTO:  Sir.  Clay_CMO:  Commander Raeyld, Sir.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: Aye, and thank you, sir.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Smiles gently as Kytides approaches:: TO: Lieutenant.  ::Gestures to one of the two remaining chairs:: Please, have a seat.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::spots Wilcox and walks over:: MO: Doctor, how's the readiness report coming along?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::steps out of the TL and onto the bridge towards his RR:: XO/OPS: You're with me.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: You have the bridge ::follows the CO into his RR::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Hears an understated audio alert from his small PADD, and takes it out to read the new message::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<MO_Wilcox>CNS: It's coming. Should be complete on time. Still adjusting the duty roster for the Doctor's absence.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::steps out from behind her console and enters the RR behind the command staff::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks over to his desk:: XO/OPS: Please, take a seat.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: You can factor me into that roster if needs be. The XO wants the report in the next hour.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@Clay_CMO:  Thank you.  ::Winces mentally, but nods and moves to take a seat, suddenly remembering the gift box and placing it beside the chair, as carefully as he can in the rush to put it out of sight, then sits down::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::grabs a seat::
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Takes a quick read of it and looks up::  Clay_CMO/Clay_TO:  It appears we have received new orders.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::sits down silently::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<MO_Wilcox>::Looks up, satisfactorily:: CNS: That would be great. Thanks, Commander.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@::Waits for Raeyld or more information first, but doesn't manage to stop a small sigh of relief at that thanks to his exhaustion::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: I'm sure the good commander here has welcomed you aboard, but I want to officially welcome you aboard the Andromeda....well, for now, the Cataria.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Keeps an eye on the Bridge from the tactical station, as too was at the rear, she could easily survey it.::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Tries to smile reassuringly:: TO: Coffee?    CTO: What's that?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Only a pleasure. Make sure the report is in on time.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
CO: I'm very pleased to be here, Captain.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@Clay_CMO/Clay_TO:  It appears... ::Sounds a bit skeptical:: ...we are going to Risa for a celebration, and we are taking some of the Andromeda senior staff with us.  ::Looks to them both in turn::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: I'm sure you've earned this assignment cadet.  I have no doubt in your abilities to be here.  Do you have any questions from either myself or the XO before you're dismissed?
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
@Clay_CMO:  No thank you, S-  ::Blinks at the news, and suddenly wonders if he can take back his relieved sigh::
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Actually pales slightly, but maintains her smile to Kytides::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
CO/XO: I am sure Starfleet briefed you regarding my assignment and how some of my shift needs to be dedicated to my studies? Unless, of course, we find ourselves in a pressing situation.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@<Attache_Cmdr_Light>::Blinks slightly as she observes, then finishes the last of her coffee, and takes their moment of incredulity as the distraction she needs to leave the cafe unnoticed.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks over to Conor and hands him a PADD::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Commander Power here will make sure time is available for your studies.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::takes the PADD and reads it over:: CO/OPS: I'm sure the Academy has taught you on dealing with constant lack of sleep.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
XO: I believe that comes in year three, Sir.
Clay_CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
<MO_Wilcox> CNS: Of course, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: You get to enjoy the accelerated course then.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Why don't you head to your quarters, get them all set up and then report back for duty shift.
