Choices Part 5
Host SM-Trish says:
Dr. Worthington has arrived at the Alexander estate and settled in.  The Memorial Service will be held with all Cherokee crew present and in dress uniform.  The Captain is on his way to the brig to speak to his TO.  The rest of the crew have beamed down and are waiting for their arrival.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
The XO has asked to be left onboard to continue the further investigation.
Host Adm-Alexander says:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Dr:  The entire crew are almost here.  As soon as the Captain arrives we will begin. The ceremony will be held in the arboretum as we discussed.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Beams down with OPS and is awaiting the final arrivals .::
Host CO_Lyon says:
@::walks to the detention block:: SEC: Lower the forcefield, please.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks around, lightly stroking Kandeldandel's feathers::
Dr_Worthington says:
Adm: Thank you again for this Admiral. This is such a lovely place you have here.
TO_Mikan says:
@::sits in the cell::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Dr: I am sorry you had to visit it under such sad circumstances.  I am glad that you will be able to stay with me for a while.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Look's at the sky wondering about death::
OPS_Nash says:
:: beams down with her husband and waits::
Host CO_Lyon says:
@::enters the cell where Ronik is sitting, after the forcefield snaps off::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
Adm: I hate to put my classes off but I think everyone understands.
EO_Valentine says:
::notices the Doctor and walks over:: CMO: Hi.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Dr.:  I am sure they do, we have people working on this around the clock.  I am sure the crew would like to stay and help, but they do have a mission waiting for them that even I can not put off.
TO_Mikan says:
@::stares straight ahead:: CO: Captain.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: Ronik... mind if I sit down?
Host Dr_Worthington says:
Adm: I understand. I am certain Trent would have it no other way.
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: No sirrr. Help yourrrself. ::still stares straight ahead::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins to get misty eyed as the reality finally sinks in.:: OPS: I still don't understand it. It’s... its so senseless.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@::sits down:: TO: Want to tell me your side of the story? :looks at his security officer::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Dr.:  Quite frankly, no he wouldn't.  Trent came a long way from the shy young man I met years ago into a confident officer.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Oh hi, how are you? ::Look's surprised::
EO_Valentine says:
CMO: Are you okay?
OPS_Nash says:
::is still numb::  CSO: I know, I wish someone somewhere soon will find out what happened to him.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
Adm: But he loved his work. I am sure he wouldn't have wanted anything to stop other people from doing theirs.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Yeah ::He said that in depressed tone of voice::
OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  And I hope that whoever did this will gets the same treatment.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: I am thinking of Death and life!
EO_Valentine says:
::looks down:: CMO: Oh.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Dr:  Yes he did, and he was an excellent officer.  If you will excuse me, I will join the crew for a while.  Come out when you are comfortable.
CSO_Nash says:
OPS: I could and should say at least a hundred things, but I can't because I don't want this to be true.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
Adm: I will be with you in a minute.
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: Nothing much to say sirrr. In my overrr zealous mannerrr, I simply charrrged into the crrrime scene and felt that I should be in charrrge of it. When it was clearrr that Commanderrr Montegue would not cooperrrate with me, I ended up herrre.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: And it is sad that someone lost his coporial life form!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nodding at the Doctor, she turns and walks out of the house in the direction of the arboretum::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::after the Admiral leaves, she sits down and puts her head in her hands.::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up at him:: CMO: Oh? You're Catholic too?
Host CO_Lyon says:
@::nods:: TO: I see. Did you think that Commander Montegue would just let you take charge? She is the station security chief after all.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking into the arboretum, she sees her crew and the downcast looks on their faces, feeling their pain, and wishing it were not true as well::
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Oh, it is more complicated than that!
TO_Mikan says:
@::finally turns to look at the CO:: CO: And it was herrr securrrity team that allowed the perrrp to escape.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: Not allowed. The man on duty was drugged.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: I am human who was raised on Centauri and we have a different look at death.
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: CMO: Okay. ::takes out her rosary and heads to a nearby tree to sit and pray::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::after a moment, she gets up and walks out to the arboretum::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::slowly she walks over to the CSO and stops::  CSO:  Kevin, any late breaking news on Trent?
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: One man does not a securrrity team make. Besides, it would take morrre than drrruging one man to prrrevent station securrrity frrrom rrresponding to weapons firrre. Rrrememberrr, my firrrst assignment out of the academy was station securrrity.
EO_Valentine says:
::sits down and prays quietly to herself::
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: Cmdr Montegue also rrrefused to allow me to question herrr "drrrugged" officerrr.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Looks as Miss Valentine gets on the tree and gets a little smile::
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: None yet, but we do have a lead on the vessel that slowed and then made a hasty retreat after the deed. Will send a class IX probe at maximum after it's course when I get back to the ship.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: Yes, I am very aware of that, that is one of the reasons I wanted you to be the liaison with the station, but there are limits to how you address a senior officer. Would you have spoken to me in the same way?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO: Very good, we now know that this was a well thought out plot. Our security personnel were drugged, and sensors changed.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::she looks around at the others and walks around::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  Whoever did this, is well acquainted with SF protocols.  So what conclusion would this lead you to Kevin?
EO_Valentine says:
::peeks out of the tree and watches Dr. Worthington::
TO_Mikan says:
@::turns to face forward again:: CO: I did not speak in an insuborrrdinate way. I gave herrr all the rrrespect she was due. I simply rrreminded herrr that station securrrity was not above suspicion, and that included herrr.
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: As I stated to the XO. It seems too planned and a lot of expenses were covered. I think that it is possibly a splinter-cell or counter-intelligence group.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::walking around she notices the EO:: EO: Hello.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  And what about an ex-starfleet officer?  Had you thought of that? ::looking directly into his eyes::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::hoots and lands on Dr. Worthington's shoulder::
EO_Valentine says:
::grins, hanging upside down:: Dr. Worthington: Hi.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: And by saying that insulted her more than you can imagine. I'm going to leave it up to you and Commander Montegue to sort out your differences. Understood?
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::looks at Kandeldandel:: Out loud: Who might you be?
OPS_Nash says:
::looks at the Admiral::
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: Furthermore, I believe that the Maquis or a splinter are still functioning from the latest intel. Admiral, yes that thought did occurr to me and they usually get ex-Starfleet Officers.
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: Underrrstood.
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::hoots and tilts her head::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  Sam has downloaded all the information you might need.  I want you to work with tactical once you get back to the ship and go through all personnel that might have a bearing on this.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::looks up at the EO:: EO: Is she your friend?
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: Yes ma'am. Consider it done.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  And you may be right, but I have this odd feeling it is more than what we expect or suspect Kevin.
EO_Valentine says:
::lets go of the branch and does a flip, landing on all fours. She gets to her feet and runs over to Dr. Worthington.:: Dr. Worthington: That's Kandeldandel, She's a friend of Mai's.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: All I ask is you keep your preconceived ideas of what happened and the reasons for the station security's lack of timely response to be investigated internally. I can assure you that Commander Montegue is as eager to find out why as you are.
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: I too have a feeling that it won't be quite as easy, but I'll have us ready for anything.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
EO: Well then, good to meet both of you. I am Dr. Donna Worthington, Trent's mother.
CMO_Brabas says:
::As he breaks from his thinking he walks over to Adm CSO and OPS::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  Then I leave this in your capable hands.  I want to say hello to the rest of the crew before the service begins.
EO_Valentine says:
Dr. Worthington: Oh...Mai is very sorry about Trent. She would have helped if she could. So would Kandeldandel.
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::hoots and hops up and down::
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: I'll not hold you any further ma'am.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Nice to see you again Kyleigh, next time in happier times let's hope.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
EO: Thanks. Were you good friends with Trent?
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  Yeah let's hope so.
CMO_Brabas says:
CSO/Adm/OPS: Good day to you if it is appropriate to say it.
OPS_Nash says:
CMO:  I'm doing my best to make it a good day, Trent would have wanted it that way.
CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Come on over Lt. And again Congratulations and well done.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Doctor, it is good to see you as well.  We were just discussing ::nodding to Kevin and Kyleigh:: that we wished it was under better circumstances.
EO_Valentine says:
::puts a paw to her face:: Dr. Worthington: Kinda....He yelled at Mai a lot. ::looks down:: But he was still nice to Mai.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
EO: Well I'm sorry to hear that. Trent never was much of a yeller when he was young.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: I'm releasing you on my good name here on the station, :;smiles slightly:: to attend the memorial. We have a fallen comrade to honor.
CMO_Brabas says:
CSO/Adm/OPS: Yeah that would be greatly better than in this manner
EO_Valentine says:
Dr. Worthington: It's okay. ::taps her hand with her paw:: Captain-person says it's cause he liked Mai.
TO_Mikan says:
@::remains stoic::
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: Something wrong, Ronik?
CMO_Brabas says:
CSO/Adm/OPS: And I was just thinking of it. Why don't we make it as he is, let it say, evolved to another dimension! And we could  celebrate it!
Host Dr_Worthington says:
EO: Well I am sure he did. Nice to meet you. ::she walks over to the other officers and listens::
EO_Valentine says:
::tilts her head as Kandeldandel lands back on her shoulder and watches as she walks away.:: Self: Ai yi yi.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  A very good philosophy my friend.  Perhaps that attitude will lighten everyone's spirits.
OPS_Nash says:
CMO:  That's what I was planning to do anyway.  I know that he'll be around us always making sure we stay in line. ::cracks a little smile::
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: We have lost our CTO and ...... ::thinks a moment:: Nothing sirrr.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: And what, Ronik?
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: May I speak candidly sirrr?
CSO_Nash says:
CMO: A good idea. But it will be hard for me considering how and where I was raised.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@TO: I wouldn't want it any other way.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::overhearing OPS:: OPS: Was he really like that? Did he yell and scream alot?
CMO_Brabas says:
CSO/Adm/OPS: That is what would be most grateful for one Centaurian to have!
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: I do not trrrust norrr do I like Commanderrr Montegue. I would rrratherrr stay herrre than worrrk with herrr.
TO_Mikan says:
@::looks directly at the CO eye to eye::
CMO_Brabas says:
::Looks at Dr.::
OPS_Nash says:
::Turns to the Dr.::  Dr.: Oh no, he was just the opposite, but no one dared to cross him though.
Host CO_Lyon says:
@::nods:: TO: Very well, I'll assign someone else to the liaison task then. I'm sorry that you feel that way, Ronik.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Smilles at OPS::
EO_Valentine says:
::sighs and goes back to sit under the tree::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
OPS: Trent was such a quiet boy growing up. I just can't picture him as being some, I don't know what the word is, tough guy?
CMO_Brabas says:
Dr.W: He had his moments. ::Nodding with his head in a greeting manner::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Overhears Dr. Worthington and begins to shake his emphatically in the negative.:: Dr.: It was not yelling and screaming as much as using his stern Command voice when he was in charge.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking up she notices Mai::  EO: Come down from there, I would like to speak to you.
TO_Mikan says:
@CO: Do not feel sorrrrrry for me sirrr. Save yourrr pity forrr the murrrderrrerrr of Commanderrr Worrrthington.
EO_Valentine says:
::peeks out and gulps:: ADM: Admiral! ::falls out of the tree, landing on her tail::
OPS_Nash says:
Dr.: There is one thing I am sure of, things on the ship will not be the same without him.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
EO:  Are you hurt my dear? ::walking over to her::
Host CO_Lyon says:
@::gets up:: TO: That's one person I won't pity. He killed one of my good friends, and that is unforgivable. Now, lets go and show our respect for Trent.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
CSO: I see. I am starting to learn a little more about him. After the academy we didn't keep in touch as much as I would have liked.
TO_Mikan says:
@::rises and follows the CO::
CMO_Brabas says:
Dr.W : He was an authority type of person. ::Look's at rest of Cherokee crew then continues:: Dr.W : He didn't like unorthodox methods!
EO_Valentine says:
::hops to her feet:: ADM: No, Mai's not hurt. ::looks up in the tree to check on Kandeldandel::
TO_Mikan says:
@::thinks to himself that the CO should also pity anyone that gets in Ronik's way too::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
EO:  Mai, for today, you need to stay on your feet.  This is a solemn occasion.  Can you do that for me?
Host CO_Lyon says:
@:;taps his badge:: COM: SBOPS: Lyon to Starbase OPS, two to beam down to Admiral Alexander's estate.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
CMO/CSO/OPS: I'm sorry for being so rude. I am Dr. Donna Worthington of Starfleet Academy.
CMO_Brabas says:
OPS: But you are right it will not be the same!
EO_Valentine says:
::looks down:: ADM: Yes ma'am. ::mumbles::
CSO_Nash says:
Dr Worthington: As I see it Starfleet helped mold him into the Officer and the man he was. I count myself fortunate to call him my friend and collegue.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
<SBOPS> COM: CO: Beaming now Sir, the admiral is expecting you.  OPS out.
OPS_Nash says:
Dr.:  Nice to meet you too, I'm Kyleigh Nash, I run the Ships Operations.
CSO_Nash says:
Dr.: Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::appears on the lawns near the rest of the assembled crew::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
OPS/CSO: Pleasure to meet you all as well.
CSO_Nash says:
Dr.: I am Kevin Nash, Chief Science Officer.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::walks across the lawn and enters the arboretum, spots Dr. Worthington and walks over to them.::
TO_Mikan says:
::follows the CO into the arboretum::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO: Rojer, there you are.  Ronik, good to see you again.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
CO: Hello Captain. Nice to see you again.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up and sees Ronik:: TO: Big kitty! ::runs over and gives him a hug:: TO: Hey, you feel thin! You better be eating! ::pokes him:: Mai can't save you again you know!
Host CO_Lyon says:
ADM/Dr: Hello, sorry I'm late. ::turns to the Dr:: Dr.: And its good to see you as well.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  If everyone could take their seats, we will begin.  ::taking Donna's arm, she leads her to the front and sits down beside her::
TO_Mikan says:
::nods to the Admiral.::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::follows along with the Admiral and has a seat::
OPS_Nash says:
::nods and she goes to a seat and sits down, leaving one empty for her husband::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Nods to the Admiral and goes and sits down.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::gives a small sigh and walks to the front to face the people gathering::
TO_Mikan says:
::looks down at Mai:: EO: Good to see you again too, Mai. ::smiles at her::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  100 seats have been made available for Starbase personnel and crew.  The others stand outside but can hear the ceremonies.
EO_Valentine says:
::nods and goes to sit down::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He sits down on one of the chair::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Sits at the end of the first row to keep his legs out of everybody elses way.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::remembers something and a smile plays on his lips::
TO_Mikan says:
::sits down in the last row of seats and watches the people at the ceremony::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::looks around at everyone and is glad Trent had some good friends.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
All: I was going to say a lot of things, but after thinking about it, decided that most of it would have been overly sentimental.
Host CO_Lyon says:
All: Trent was a no nonsense person, and I started to remember all the things about him that made me glad he was a friend and an officer I served with.
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::begins to tear up as the Captain speaks::
Host CO_Lyon says:
All: He was someone you wanted at your back when there was trouble, and someone at your side when it was time to relax. ::smiles fondly::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Silently echoes the Captain's sentiments.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
All: The Federation suffered a great loss when he was taken from us, but while I will mourn it for the rest of my life, the good memories will keep him alive. ::speaks directly to the Dr.:: Dr.: Doctor, your son was a good man, and I cannot imagine what you're feeling, but know that he will always be one of my best friends and we will find the person responsible.
OPS_Nash says:
::smiles as the Captain says what she is thinking as well.::
OPS_Nash says:
::she leans her head on her husband shoulder as the Captain talks::
Host Dr_Worthington says:
::begins to cry:: CO: Thank you Captain.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::blinks rapidly for a moment:: All: Anybody who wants to say something... ::bites his lip and goes to comfort the Dr.::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Protectively cradles Kyleigh.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::stands and takes the podium::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Doctor, I understand how you feel to some extent.  Last year, I thought my daughter was dead, or would soon be dead.  There is nothing that can replace the loss of a child.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves Kyleigh's head and gets ready to go up to the podium next.:: OPS: I have to say something of him.
OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Say for me too ::smiles::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Smiles back at her.:: OPS: You know I will.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  But I heard someone say today, we should celebrate Trent's life, and our good fortune of having known him.  I agree with this whole heartedly.  He will be missed, but not forgotten, and I will do everything in my power to find whoever did this to you and your family.  Trent, wherever you are, you are not forgottem my friend.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Stands and moves to the podium as the admiral finishes.::
CSO_Nash says:
All: As you know he and I are roughly the same age, but he did teach me something that he learned and that was to be vigilant. So Trent, my friend stay vigilant and watch over us. And rest assured that we will be vigilant and bring those responsible to quick and sure justice.
OPS_Nash says:
::wipes a tear from her eye::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Many others followed saying their goodbyes to Trent and his mother.
