:: at tactical station running some simulation ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
@ :: standing at the port window, watching the station grow bigger and bigger on the screen as it made its final approach. ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Harker was nearly whistling, the first few months after the incident was insanely busy repairs and reports flooding her. Finally the orders came down for shore leave. So as soon as she was sure everything was all set, she took off to Risa. "What happens on Risa stays on Risa" She thought walking from the docking area to her quarters. ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: After informing Ops she was back on board. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: the small Vulcan shuttle docks with the station.  Sulek, who has spent time repairing the mental damage done by the Lyrans.  His time at the high monastery has helped him to shore up his personal mental barriers ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Checking the torpedo launchers on the Quirinus ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Arriving in her quarters she drops off her gear and still in jeans, t-shirt and a leather jacket heads for the main lounge area. ::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Stands at the docking bays, watching the streaks of warp signatures from the windows ::
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
:: yawns at tactical ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he steps into the ring, dressed in the Vulcan robes.  He pauses acknowledging a passing crewman.  His face cool and passive ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Duty_OPS_McShane>: TO: I spy something black... :: He said watching his readouts loosely.. ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
@ :: As the voice comes over the comm, informing them to prepare to depart, she smiles.  A sense of peace passes through her as she knows Bill is waiting for her. ::
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: I say you need to wash your pants.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: racing through the station, via holodeck simulation, increasing his speed records, of getting to different areas of the station ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<OPS McShane>TO: And how would I see my pants, its outer space.. :: eye roll :: your turn...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
@ :: As she feels the gentle bump, she reaches down for her bag and  joins the others in the queue of departure. ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: On her way sees Sulek :: Sulek: Captain welcome back...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he walks to a nearby com panel :: *Ops*: Sulek reporting for duty. I have registered the necessary paperwork that I am once again medically fit for duty.
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: I spy with my eye red.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Walking down the ramp, she checks in with the duty officer and turns toward her husband with a smile. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he turns :: Harker: Captain. Thank you. How was your leave?  :: his voice almost inflectionless ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Ops_McShane>TO: If this involves the word 'dead' I don't think I want to play anymore... :: He jokes. ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Looking at Sulek concerned. :: Sulek: Fine, just fine. You?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: I am well.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: after months of testing and increasing his speeds, he decides it's time to test it on the actual station ::
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: Admiral and captain in Ops.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Sulek: Fully recovered? :: She looked mildly concerned, he was even more reserved then usual... ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Ops_McShane> :: Jumps to his feet, then looks around not seeing anything.. :: TO: Not funny... :: Sits back down... ::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Holds his arms out to embrace his wife, and says quietly ::  CNS: I missed you.

ACTION: The tactical officers display shows over 200 Klingon Birds Of Prey at that station, then flips back to nothing.

TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: That’s the best prank to play on someone.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: slipping into his arms, she wraps hers around him, laying her head against his chest. ::  CSec:  And I you.  :: Pulls back slightly ::  You know... I think that is the longest we have been parted... by choice and not events.  :: Her thoughts going back to being sent through time and space to Abertura where she had to wait for them to come get her.:
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: steps out of the holodeck, and takes off at blurring speeds to the lounge ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Ops_McShane> :: mutters :: TO: Gotta sleep sometime... :: though his mouth twitched up as he suppressed a grin.. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: Yes.  Do not concern yourself of my current state of formality.  You must remember that I have spent the last few months with the high priests of Vulcan.  They are all masters of the kolinahr.  I am sure that humans shall "rub off” on me soon enough.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Checks the magazine and loading mechanism to make sure the hi-speed loading mode is working properly ::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: How was... everything?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CSec:  It was nice visiting my adoptive family.  And only time will tell if the medical procedure works.  My case was rather... unusual.
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: Overall how is the power plant doing?
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Smiled slightly :: Sulek: I hope so, this is a bit odd… though I am glad they could help and thankful for Counselor Azhure's help as well. I was just heading to the lounge. Care to join me?CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: nods solemnly ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Ops_McShane>TO: one sec.. :: Runs a quick check :: TO: Everything’s fine.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Ops_McShane>TO: We finally got everything repaired and up to code at least until something else comes along...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: I have not eaten since leaving Vulcan.  Repast would be welcome.  Excuse a moment while I arrange for the transfer of my things to quarters.  The programming of the return of the shuttle can be delayed.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
<Ops_McShane>TO: I swear this place is a magnet...
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: We could wind up with a admiralty inspection or a Starfleet GAO inquiry
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Hugs him again before taking his arm and heading out of the area, knowing he did not like public displays in general ::  CSec:  Anything new or of interest?
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Sulek: No problem. :: Smiles more relaxed now and waits off to the side. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he moves to a comm and contacts operations to arrange for his luggage to be transferred ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: arrives at the lounge and checks his time, being faster than on the holodeck ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: Returning to Harker :: Harker: I am ready, Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Self: Sweet.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks at his wife sideways ::  CNS: Does anything interesting ever happen here?
TO_ENS_T`Lana says:
OPS: Accountants are pickier than lawyers and admirals.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Satisfied with the loading mechanism she finishes the tests and diagnostics and pronounces the ship fit for combat, and decides to celebrate with a big lunch ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Gestures down the hall and begins walking with Sulek :: Sulek: I just got back myself, everything is back to normal....
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CSec:  Yes, you just have to look and what interest one, does not interest another.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: It appears the damage I caused has been returned to ship shape.  If you wish to limit my access until you are sure there is no lasting damage from the Lyrans, it would be a logical and understandable step.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Walks off the ship into the docking bay and then onto the Station Promenade ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Sulek: All the experts pronounced you clear. :: She looks at him seriously ::  It was difficult but these things do happen, we can't limit every officer who has ever had a problem with an alien influence, especially when it has been corrected.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: takes off to OPS, blowing past Captains Harker and Sulek in a blur of blue, and gust of wind ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Stops suddenly remembering something. :: Sulek: Nearly forgot, the Counselor wanted me to remind you of some appointment?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Or have we come to the point where we expect the unexpected, and thus the expected is the different and unusual?  :: raises an eyebrow suspiciously ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Sees the two commanders and walks up to them, waiting for them to recognize her ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: Telepaths and empaths seem to suffer from the affront more than most.  I sometimes wonder that there is not more resistance to those of us who are in Starfleet.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
All: What the? :: As a blue streak flies by. ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: chuckles ::  CSec:  That twisted logic made total sense.  You should try it on Sulek.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I suspect there are moments when logic can be bent to fit any situation, despite what the Vulcans may suspect of its galactic rigidity.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he watches as the streak passes by... nonplussed ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: In regards to the CoSci running off. :: All: That was odd. :: Sees the CTO and nods. ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: realizes he just flew past the Captains, and "hits the brakes", trips and goes flying into a wall with a loud nasty sounding crash ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Nods politely ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: jogs over to the Cosci :: Sulek: Excuse me..
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Starr: You alright?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Captain, good to see ye back Sir. I just got done checking over the Q and she's ready for duty.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: looks up at Harker :: :: slurred voice :: SC: Can we have chicken nuggets for dinner Mom? :: collapses in her arms ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: moving back as Harker attends to the Science officer :: *Azhure*: We have an appointment?  I have not yet checked my schedule, having just returned.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: just majorly stunned, but not unconscious ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he notes that Starr seems to spend a goodly amount of time on the floor ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*:  Yes, Captain... standard procedure but more.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Checks his pulse, finds it racing but not dangerously so ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
ALL: I think he just knocked himself about a bit.. :: Gets a first aid kit, does a quick scan to find the right dosage of the mild stimulant recommended for these cases ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: administers the hypo. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure*: Harker and I were on our way for a meal.  Would this suffice?  I am cleared by both Vulcan High Command and Starfleet.  If you wish it to be more private, then name the time and I will be at your office.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*:  More private.  And when you are ready.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Starr: Are you all right, Commander?
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Starr: Do you require medical attention?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure*: Since you place some importance on this, I am willing to meet you now.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks at Bill caring her bag. :: *CO*:  I believe I came in on your tail.  Give us some time.  I can meet with you tomorrow.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure*: At 0900 tomorrow then.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*: Aye, captain.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CSec:  And on that note, what would ye like to do.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure*: The invitation for the meal still stands for you and Commander Powers.  Sulek out.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: hypo taking affect, looks at Harker :: :: innocently :: SC: Hi. When did you get back?  :: sees Sulek ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CSec:  Or would you like to join our captains?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: watches the goings on ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Starr: Just recently. What is the emergency? :: Helps him up. ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: How's he doing?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: finally turning to Harker and the CoSci :: Harker: I have not known the Lt. Commander for long, but it seems that he is often rolling past me when I do see him.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Starr: Better. Sulek: I would tend to agree. Starr: Slow down.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: Clears her throat ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CTO/CoSci: We're going for lunch. Care to join us?
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Glances at Murphy ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: Did you have something you wish to say?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
SC: Thankee, I was just on me way Boss.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Gives the counselor a look ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: No emergency, practice. To be where you need me to be, and very quickly, especially if there WAS an emergency.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: Been practicing for months
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I said it earlier Captain, but it seems ye were busy. I said It was good to see ye back, and that I had just finished looking over the ship and she's ready for duty.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Nods and glances at Starr :: Starr: I see. Well, you'll need to work on stopping. Care to join us?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: :: straightens clothes :: Be happy to.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: nods and motions to the others then heads into the nearby lounge, finding a large table, orders a large drink and sits down. ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Upon arrival at their quarters and Bill putting down her luggage, she turns back into his arms and hugs him tightly ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: Thank you for that.  My focus was elsewhere.  Quite right to draw my attention again to your report.  :: still quite deadpan ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: claps hands behind back and waddles beside the Harker ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: follows into the lounge and moves to the table ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: climbs up into the chair next to Harker ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Happy to be of service Sir. I made sure ta look after everythin' while ye was away.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he sits and carefully arranges his robes ::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Holds his wife lovingly ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: Your duty is duly noted, Lt. Commander.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CSec:  You off duty?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Thankee Sir. I also made sure the station was back up ta snuff, that took a bit o' doing, but got it knocked out. :: nods and has a seat ::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Let's see if security notices its own chief missing from action for a while...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: a wait person approaches the table :: <Waiter> What can I start you off with?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
SC: The station is back up to spec, Boss. All Tactical systems ready for duty, an' we got the replacement fighters in last week. Back to full strength again.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Waiter: Abbot Ale please.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: chuckles ::  CSec:  Then I take it we will not be joining the captains today.  :: pulls him towards their bedroom. ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Waiter: The same
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CTO: Thank you, replacement personnel as well... :: she said her face growing serious. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Waiter: For me mineral water.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
SC: Aye... we got replacement personnel in over the last few weeks.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: Nods at CTO ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CTO: Did you take any time to recharge?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
Waiter: Guiness fer me please.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: A goofy grin on his face, the two disappear into the inner parts of their quarters ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
SC: Aye, I took two weeks to go home ta Dublin. Saw me family.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CTO: Grand. How was it?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: as the waiter leaves for the drinks, Sulek decides what he should include in his salad ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
SC: Had been a while, was good ta see the shamrocks again.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Simply shakes her head with her own smile as she deactivates his and hers commbadge, tossing them onto the dresser. ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CTO/All: I went home for a bit to England then to Risa...  Starr: You do anything but run about?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: So how was Risa?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: No, not really
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CTO: What happens on Risa stays on Risa…  :: She grins. ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
Starr: Next maybe take a trip?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: snickers ::
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
:: glances at CTO and winks. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: sits quietly as the banter he has never quite belonged to goes on. It shall not take much time for the human ways to again rub off, indeed, but this time there is more that he must keep locked away and protected... ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC/CTO: I don't get it?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: It's an old Earth reference mate.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CSO: Just so. :: Still grinning a bit.. ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: light bulb :: SC, CTO: Ooohhhh SC: That's a shot at me isn't it?, cause I "tripped" in the corridor.
Host SC_Capt_Harker says:
CSO: No, we were discussing Risa, I thought… but yes amusing.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
SC: Okay.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: looks curiously at Brianna ::
