USS Cherokee 10403.07 Cavern Adventure Part 15

Host SM-Trish says:
The Organians have left the planet.  The AT are at the entrance to what appears to be another cave, with steps leading up.

OPS_Nash says:
::walking with the CSO, going up to the surface, carrying what supplies she is allowed to carry with those around her::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walking in the line, trying to recollect thoughts for the journey up.::

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Walking at the end, looking around, taking in the surrounding area::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: continues to lead the way.  Keeping his thoughts on getting back to the ship. ::

Sec_Miller says:
::Walking with the group staying at the rear, his eyes looking in various places::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::enters the cave following the CTO:: CTO: I think you know the drill by now. Take it nice and slow, make sure everyone stays together.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Walking along with OPS heading for the surface and a reunion with the Cherokee. His head is in the clouds with the news of twins.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Entering the cave and following the rest of the At::

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Understood sir.  No surprises, no setbacks.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Everyone have everything they came in with?  I don't think we'll pass by here again for some time.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  This cave is relatively dry.  The steps leading up, seem to be made, rather than a naturally occurring phenomenon..

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Don't jinx us Captain.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Got everything I brought.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: That and then some. I also have some of the riches that the planet itself and the Organians furnished.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Checks the things he's carrying:: CO: All checked and accounted for... ::Continues to walk along the cave::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I don't think that will be a problem.  All: Good to hear.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: stage whispers to the XO ::  XO: We really have to get those chains set up on the Captain’s Chair so this doesn't happen again.

Sec_Miller says:
::Knows that he has all of his supplies, he continues to walk with the group::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Checks her bags.:: CO: Everything accounted for.  ::Is a little sad that she had to let the rabbit go.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Looks at the CMO as he checks his bags and he follows behind her.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::returns the stage whisper:: CTO: Move the chains into the ready room, that's where he is going to stay from now on.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves over closer to OPS.:: OPS: Remember those Amethysts you wanted? ::Opens a bag with the communications device and some crystals.:: How will these work? ::grins at her.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: No arguments from the Tactical Department on that one, sir.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Looks aside at Miller:: Miller: I wonder how these steps got here... They don't look like they've been here originally...

OPS_Nash says:
::looks in the bag::  CSO:  How did you get those?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Let's start the climb.  I'm ready to get home.

OPS_Nash says:
::she notices some steps::  ALL:  Hey! They are some steps over there.  ::points::

Sec_Miller says:
::He looks down at them:: SEC: They look strange. ::Tilts his head a bit::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::rubs his hands together:: CTO: Excellent...

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: resumes his spot in front of the Away Team as he climbs the stairs. :: ALL: I don't know about the rest of you, but I am looking forward to a nice long hot shower when we get back to the Cherokee.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Remember when we were trying to contact the Captain and the ship in the lower chamber? I used these to try to augment the signal, but they weren't the right lattice structure. So I kept them for you.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. ::follows the CTO and climbs the steps::

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
Sec: Yeah... ::Takes a tricorder as he lets the rifle hang loosely by his side, and scans the caves and steps in particular::

Sec_Miller says:
::Keeps on guard as Kilbrowski scans the prints::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Follow the CMO and the others up the steps.  Wonders how far of a climb they will have.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks to see where OPS is pointing.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  I knew you were good for something.  ::she smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Starts moving, following the others, reflecting on what happened.::

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Frowns:: Sec: They seem like they've been engineered, yet there are no marks at all of tools, used for them.... Odd....

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Yes this and twins. :: Chuckles.::

Sec_Miller says:
SEC: Engineered? That is very odd. ::Pauses:: SEC: Maybe you should inform the Captain.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/CO: Couldn't the Organians built us an escalator? Geez, like it would have killed them.

OPS_Nash says:
::smiles at CSO::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: Hears the voices of the Security team. ::  Sec Officers: Kilbrowski, Miller, when you ladies are done with your science experiment...would you mind looking out for possible hazards?

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Wonders about the place she left behind and the memories that will stay with her for a very long time.::

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
Sec: Good idea.. ::Moves forward quickly to join the CO:: CO: Captain. You see these steps here? They aren't original to this cave, yet they aren't engineered either... Perhaps.... Perhaps it's a gift? From.. From the Organians?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the way the stairs lead.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: After all the trouble they gave J. T. Kirk...I think we got off lucky, sir.

Sec_Miller says:
::Looks startled at the CTO:: CTO: Of course we can.. erm.. sure .. erm.. sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Laughs.:: XO: I guess they had other things on their minds.  I guess those are saved for happy, well fed sla...never mind.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SecKilbowski: Probably is, and for that I guess we should be thankful.  Be a long walk otherwise.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Agreed. I am sure Starfleet will look forward to our logs and reports.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Nods:: CO: Right you are, sir.... ::Let's himself drop back again to join Miller::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: shakes his head as he returns his attention to the steps ahead.  :: XO: Speak for yourself sir.  Starfleet is always sending my reports back.  You would think that Admirals would forgive a few grammatical errors now and then.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Kirk wasn't threatened with death if he disagreed with them, nor was he stripped of what made him who he was.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::smiles:: CTO: I was speaking for myself, Lieutenant.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  A deep pink MIST begins to envelope the AT.  It quickly disappears and the AT find themselves in the first cave, where their journey began a week ago.

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Is everyone all right?

Sec_Miller says:
::Looks around:: Self: Nice place.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Self: Last stop, all hands must depart.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: coughs as he inhaled some of the pink mist..:: Self: Oh this can't be healthy.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Looks around as they are back to square one:: Self: This can't be happening.....

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks around.:: All: We're back at the beginning. Be careful that we don't alarm the bats.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Looks around her in bewilderment.::  Self: This place looks familiar.

OPS_Nash says:
::finds herself in the same place where they started::

Host Anna says:
CO:  Captain, we heard you and you can now leave the cavern the same way you came in.  We are sorry that you did not understand, but perhaps this make amends.

CNS-T`Lin says:
Self: We are back .... in the cave.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::assumes everyone is alright since no one answered him, notices Anna::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: finishes his headcount. :: XO: Sir, all present and accounted for.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Anna: And I'm sorry that you didn't understand us.  Anger and violence is a means we're forced to use at times, not an end.

CNS-T`Lin says:
XO: Sorry, sir.  I am okay.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Hazzard. I am glad someone was paying attention.

Host Anna says:
CO:  Captain, your words and actions indicate otherwise.  This planet is now yours.  Please take care of the creatures on it.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Sees Anna again:: Self: Now what....

Host Anna says:
ACTION:  Anna begins to disappear.  The AT is now truly alone.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir...perhaps we should contact the ship and let them know we are well?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Ours sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Shakes head.::  XO: Freedom, and a willingness to stand up for what we hold dear, are those things really so bad?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Go ahead and contact them, please.

Sec_Miller says:
::Rolls his eyes:: Self: We should have been out of here already. ::Watches the others::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Of course not. It's why we are here. We wouldn't be if we had been mindless slaves to the Borg or a million other conquerors.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: taps his combadge :: *LT Tiernan* : Hazzard to Cherokee, respond Cherokee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I suppose they have no more use for it, after they found out what they wanted to know.  Personally, I find that word, Slave, to be worse than anything else they can throw at us.  It hits too close...it hits to hard.

OPS_Nash says:
@<LT Tiernan>  ::hears the comm come alive, she rushes to her console::  *CTO*:  Oh my word, it's great to hear your voice. We were almost out of time.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Especially if you are familiar with the history of my planet, sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*LT Tiernan*: Glad to hear from you too.  Everyone is safe and sound and just a bit worn out, we would sure like a beam up right about now.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: smiles as he gives a thumbs up to the Away Team::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Wonders about the mental states of her fellow crew and what this planet has done to us all.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Starts moving toward the entrance.::

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Paces around the cave they're in, waiting to get out::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: But enough of that, there's a time and a place, and I don't want to return to either.  Let's head out and get home.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Understood. CTO: Let's move this bunch to transporter range.

OPS_Nash says:
@<LT Tiernan>  *CTO*:  Well, the area where you are is blocking any transporter attempts, you will have to leave that area to return.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves outside of the cave, looking about, not sure what I'm expecting to see once clear.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Lt Tiernan* : Your wish is my command Lieutenant.  We're on our way out now.  Have the Pathways set up some thermonuclear chili for me, Elvis is coming home! :: can't help but grin as he starts to move towards the exit...checking it out for any possible dangers. ::

Sec_Miller says:
::Waits until everyone else begins to leave before he heads out::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The planet appears to be the same as when the AT entered the cave.

OPS_Nash says:
@<LT Tiernan>  *CTO*:  I'll see what I can do.  ::tries to muffle a laugh at the CTO's words::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Follow the CMO and the rest of the AT out of the cave.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Starts walking in full steps as the line begins to move again.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::makes his way out of the cave:: Self: I can't wait to get home!

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Heads for the exit just before Miller, keeping an eye on the team::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: steps out into the fresh clean air and squints at the sun. ::

OPS_Nash says:
::follows everyone out of the cave, she can't wait to get home and wrap up in her comforter::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Steps out into the fresh air.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Sees light as she exits the cave, squinting her eyes.::

OPS_Nash says:
::she takes a deep breath of clean fresh air, and she feels her babies move::

Sec_Miller says:
::He waits with the rest of the group:: Self: Finally.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Tiernan* : Lieutenant, we are in the clear and ready to come home.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Feels relieved to finally be at the surface.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins to feel a fluttering in his stomach and sees OPS looking wistfully contented.::

OPS_Nash says:
@<LT Tiernan>  *CTO*:  We have you locked and ready for transport on your command.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir, I believe that's your cue.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  *Tiernan*: Energize Transporters.

OPS_Nash says:
@<LT Tiernan>  ::beams the away team home::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The AT appears in the transporter room.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief.::  All: Home at last.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::materializes on the pad:: Self: Good to be home!

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Looks around the TR:: Self: Home at last...

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: rests a hand on the wall of the transporter room and breathes easily. :: ALL: If you will all excuse me, I have some chains to see too.

Sec_Miller says:
::Looks around:: Self: Well this looks better.

CNS-T`Lin says:
Self:  Finally!  I need a hot tub!

Host YeomanSmith says:
CO:  Sir, while you were away, this communiqué came in from SFC. ::hands him the padd::

OPS_Nash says:
::materializes on the ship::  CSO:  It feels great to be home.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Yes it does. And we are all safe to boot.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the PADD.::  Smith: What is it?

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Yes, all of us.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: helps the others off the transporter padd. ::

Host YeomanSmith says:
CO:  Sir, I don't know, it is for your eyes only.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Smith: Very good, thank you.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::gets off the pad:: CO: Shall we have this bunch report to Sick Bay as the Doctor asked?

OPS_Nash says:
::she steps off the transporter pad::

Host YeomanSmith says:
CO:  Yes Sir.  ::turns smartly and leaves the transporter room::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Before we head there, I have a few words.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Steps off the padd and awaits orders.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Steps off the transporter pad, and walks over to the XO.::  XO: I didn't have a chance to apologize to you for my actions on the planet, sir.  For what it is worth, sir, I am sorry.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: hears the words "sick bay " and makes for the door. :: Self: I think I hear Tactical calling me.

OPS_Nash says:
::listens to the CO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Hold on, Lieutenant.  You aren't getting away that easily.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Listens to the CO::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stops and listens.::

Sec_Miller says:
::Looks over at the CO and listens::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: snaps his fingers. :: Self : Curses.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Mr. Hazzard, if you will? ::points to come back:: CNS: No need to apologize. I think we can just forget about all that nonsense.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Doctor T'Lin, part of what I've just received pertains to you.  New orders, as of right now, you are officially ship's Counselor, may the gods have mercy on your soul, and ours.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the XO/CO :: XO: Can you blame me for trying?

CNS-T`Lin says:
::nods at the XO.::  CO: Thank you, sir.  I will try to live up to your expectations.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Nope. But if I can't leave, you can't.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Grins at the Captain's choice of words.:: CNS: Congrats T’Lin.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm sure it won't be a problem.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods his congratulations to T'Lin. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Congrats, Counselor.

CNS-T`Lin says:
ALL: Thank you all.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CNS: Congratulations, Doctor.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Nods her head, hoping she will not disappoint them.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Lieutenant Nash, the next piece concerns you.  It is with great pleasure that I hereby officially promote you to the rank of Full Lieutenant, with all the privileges and responsibilities involved.  Congratulations, Lieutenant.

OPS_Nash says:
::looks up, stunned::  CO:  Thank you, Sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: claps OPS on the back lightly and grins. :: OPS: Way to go Mrs. N!

CNS-T`Lin says:
OPS: Congratulations Kyleigh.

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Thanks everyone.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: No, thank you.  You earned it.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at OPS.:: OPS: Congratulations darling and well deserved.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Congratulations Lieutenant. It's been a long time coming.

OPS_Nash says:
::looks at the CSO and smiles, then small tears forms in her eyes::

CTO_Hazzard says:
ALL: This calls for some of my special "no holds barred-pass the fire extinguisher- where is the nearest ocean" chili.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Belay those tears until you get that solid pip, Lt.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Now, I believe the Medical Staff is waiting for us to ensure our safe condition?

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  This is not the only reason for the tears, Hunnie.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: I know darling. Congratulations. :: Hugs her.::

OPS_Nash says:
::welcomes the hug::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Shall I have us directly beamed to Sick Bay? Don't want to infect the crew.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: makes for the door :: ALL: Well, I am heading to sick bay so I can get this over with.  I have a hankerin for some tear-inducing food.

CNS-T`Lin says:
CTO: I am with you on that!  I could use a long shower too!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Hold on again, Mr. Impatient.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: turns around and looks at the XO: XO: Your good.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Let's beam over, just to keep the Chief's in practice.

OPS_Nash says:
::chuckles at the CTO::

Sec_Miller says:
Self: Sickbay... they place where we get sick.

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: We are gonna take the fast way. TRChief: Please send us to the Devil's den, I mean Sick Bay.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Miller: Belay that mister.  If the boss has to suffer...all of you do.

Host SM-Trish says:
 <TRChief>  XO:  As you say sir!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Devil's....::Dematerializes and rematerializes.:: den?  What's everyone's dislike for Sickbay?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The AT appears in sickbay, with lots of doctors awaiting them.

OPS_Nash says:
::appears in Sickbay::

Sec_Miller says:
::Looks around:: Self: Great.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::materializes in Sick Bay:: CO: You never had to spend two weeks getting force fed daily in this place.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Materializes in sickbay and submits to the doctors.::

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Appears in sickbay and sees a lot of medics running around::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins and looks over at the new CNS ::  CNS: Your shower or mine, Doc?

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Materializes in sickbay and gets a familiar feeling.::  CTO: Well, Hazzard .. let me think about it.  Okay, I thought about it.  Yours.

OPS_Nash says:
::is being fussed about by a few medical personnel, she tells them that a being on the planet informed her that she is having twins::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hops up on a biobed, waiting.::  *Tiernan*: Begin to make preparations to depart, once we clear sickbay I'll call the Admiral and I expect to be getting under way after that.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::overhears the CTO and CNS and feels that stabbing sensation again:: CO: In any event, I wonder what my bridge looks like. I have missed my chair.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::sits down on a bio bed adjacent to the Captain::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  It is one hour later with the crew cleared from sickbay.  Some are in their quarters, while others are at their stations.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Ready Room.::  Computer: Open channel to Admiral Alexander, commander Starbase 33.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: is just getting done from taking a week's worth of showers...getting into a clean uniform so that he can assume his duties at Tactical. ::

OPS_Nash says:
::in her quarters, sitting on the sofa with her feet up::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::puts on a fresh uniform and heads for the bridge:: TL: Bridge.

Sec_Miller says:
::Standing at Tactical Two, watching the sensors::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Admiral? This is Captain Ayidee, checking in.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Is laying on his bed, reading off a padd, some light music playing in the background::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Has just got done showering and is lying across her couch, eyes closed.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: In their quarters sitting at the desk by the sofa. He is logging the finds from the planet into the ship’s database.::

Host Adm_Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Good to hear your voice Tio.  We were just getting ready to send out the calvary for you folks!  What happened?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge, pausing for a moment to look around::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: Once in a presentable uniform, he steps into a turbolift and grins. ::  TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: Long story, and some major misunderstandings from the "natives".  We're all right, but apparently the Organians and I didn't hit it off well.

Host Adm_Alexander says:
@COM:  CO:  Captain, did I hear you correctly?  The Organians?  They haven't been seen or heard from since Kirk's time.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Starts to fall asleep, exhausted from her mission, hoping that a little nap will refresh her.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::stops gawking and moves over to the Ready Room and presses the door chime::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: steps onto the bridge and looks down at the XO :: XO: Sir, permission to take the Tactical from Ensign Rodriguez?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: Yes ma'am, you heard correct.  They set us up a test on the planet, and their parameters didn't sit too well with some of us.  XO: Enter.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks back at the CTO:: CTO: Yes, Mr. Hazzard. ::enters the Ready Room::

OPS_Nash says:
::looks over at the CSO::  CSO:  This has been an interesting week, hasn't it?

Host Adm_Alexander says:
@COM:  CO:  Tio, should I be worried?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::notices the Captain on the horn, waits quietly::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: That it has and informative as well.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins and pats Rodriguez on the back :: Ens. Rod: Get out of here man...you did good.  Get some rest.  :: assumes the station and gets caught up with all the fun things that compose his CTO-ness. ::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::After a 5 minute snooze, she figures she had better head to the bridge for her station.  She gets up and heads to the bridge, and takes her place next to the Captain’s chair.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  So, we are having twins.  I can't recall twins being in my family line but then again, I have researched it in depth.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: I don't think any threats will come of it, if I was then what they had a problem with wouldn't have happened.  Our memories were wiped, and in the amnesia, there were some conflicts.  That didn't sit well with our "hosts".

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Commander, I'm just briefing the Admiral on what happened, short version.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: That would be my fault. :: Looks at her deadpan.:: We have a few generations in my family line.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: It will be in my report soon, but I thought I'd let you know we're back in contact.

Host Adm_Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Captain, I expect the longer version in one hour.  I am assuming you are coming home with the entire crew?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. Just wanted to let you know that all was well and I am returning to duty. ::exits the ready room and sits in the big chair:: ALL: Report.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Really?  And just to be sure, I am going to make researching my family line a personal project.  It will be great to know and pass on to our children.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Aye ma'am, all made it back safely, and we'll be home soon.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: finishes a quick sit rep on the ship's condition and looks about, feeling at home at last::: XO: Sir, All boards show green and we are alone in the sector.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: I am also developing a feeling for them as they grow. I felt them when we left the cave on the planet.

SEC_Ens_Kilbowski says:
::Puts the padd away and gets up:: Computer: Computer, stop music, lights out. ::Heads for the door::

OPS_Nash says:
<Lt Tiernan>  XO:  Everything to functioning, just waiting new orders, Sir.

Host Adm_Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Acknowledged Tio.  We will be glad to have you home.  Tell everyone, and I hope I am not premature here, good job.  Alexander out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Aye ma'am, Ayidee out.  ::Reaches up and closes the com screen.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  You did?

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Crew, if I may have your attention. CTO: Mr. Hazzard, front and center. We're going to do this right.

Sec_Miller says:
::He turns and gives his attention to the XO and the CTO::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sets his station to standby and walks over to the XO:: XO: Yes, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands and exits RR, standing in doorway to watch.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Stands up from her chair.::

OPS_Nash says:
<Lt Tiernan>  ::at attention::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Mr. Hazzard, as you know you received a field promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade. Now, let's make it official. ::pins the new pip to his collar and extends his hand:: Congratulations Lieutenant.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: shakes the XO's hand firmly and grins. :: XO: Thank you sir.  Just tryin to live up to your expectations.  I won't let you down.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Claps her hands, and smiles at the CTO.::  CTO: Congratulations, Sir.

Sec_Miller says:
::Applauds slightly for his superior::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Congratulations, Lieutenant.  Good work.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: can't help but blush from all the warm congratulations. :: Self : Aw Shucks.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Sir, I think I will turn the chair over to you. ::takes up the XO position::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Plot a course and take us home, Warp 5 once we clear the system.
