<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In quarters, climbing on bed, looking about to ensure everything is as it used to be.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@::pacing the office she has been given as the status of her calls to SFC are priority one::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Heads to the docking ring, preparing to return to the Cherokee and curious to her condition::

OPS_Nash says:
::in quarters, trying to look presentable::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: gathers another PADD from the pile now laying on his desk in the Security Office on board the newly refitted Cherokee, wanting to toss it out the door in frustration. :: Self: Galaxies save me from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, have you seen the weapon installation report that they've sent us on the Torpedo pods?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: I saw them, yes.  Everything will be made clear on a need to know basis in this case.

CEO_Bishara says:
:: fixing up her quarters again and watches WildWind get settled then she is going to the engine room to see the changes::

CNS_Wells says:
::In office looking over four rather thin files and choosing who to call next. None have appointments, it's more like when they are available::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::makes his way on board the Cherokee, heads to his quarters before heading to the bridge::

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::getting reacquainted with her quarters and making sure RedWing is fine::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Its not that.  They did such a rush job on the port side pod that I'm gonna have to have Engineering do a speed job on it to get it in specs.  Just what the heck were they thinking?

CSO_Nash says:
:: In their quarters taking care of OPS.:: OPS: You could use this one or this one to base your story loosely on.  :: Puts 2 data tapes on the nightstand. One labeled Tarzan, and the other labeled George of the Jungle.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@::emits a low tone that sounds like a growl under her breath as she reads the rest of the report as Admiral Harlan waits for her to finish::

CNS_Wells says:
SELF: Might as well start at the top.

CEO_Bishara says:
::heads out of her quarters finally and down to engineering::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Drops from the bed and moves towards the Replicator.::  *CTO*: Our next trip will take more than a few days.  Can the repairs and reconfiguration be done while at Warp?

OPS_Nash says:
::picks up the data tapes, laughs as she reads the labels::  CSO:  Maybe I already have,  I can just see Treeboy smacking into a tree as he flies through the jungle.

CEO_Bishara says:
::enters engineering and stops short:: ALL: Oh my god what have they done to my lady the C?

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Counselor Wells to Captain Ayidee.

CEO_Bishara says:
:: jaw hits the floor::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@::finishes reading and looks up at Harlan for confirmation on the final paragraph.  She nods her head::  ADM:  Very well, it will be done.  Alexander out.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::enters his quarters and changes into a uniform, happy to be back home::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: growls and sets the PADD in question down. :: *CO* Yes they can.  I just don't like the idea of not being ready right out of the gate.  I've also taken a look at the new brig facility.  I think we could honestly hold a Horta with no problems with the set up on board.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: Yes Counselor, go ahead.  What can I do for you?

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: That's a girl. Good to hear a chuckle come from you that is not accompanied by a groan and rush to the facilities.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Sir, if you have the time we could meet for your evaluation now.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::finishes in her quarters and heads for the bridge and her helm station::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: Certainly, where would you like to do it?

CNS_Wells says:
CO*: Very Good, Sir. I'll be expecting you in my office if that's agreeable to you?

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  That will pass eventually, I hope.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: I'll send you a detailed report when I get the chance.  I'm on my way to the bridge to see what those space monkeys have tinkered with up at Tactical.  Hazzard out, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Get a full report of what we need done, and we'll get it done enroute to where we're headed next.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO* Yes sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grabs her packed suitcase and begins the walk back to the Cherokee::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: I'll be right there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits quarters and moves for the counselor's office.::

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Wells out. SELF: That was easy.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: takes a deep breath and pulls out a trinket he purchased on DS9 during his short leave.  Walking out of the Security Office and heading towards the Officer's Quarters. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks to see if his office needs straightening up.  It doesn't perfect as usual.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::taps her COM badge::  *OPS*:  Kyleigh, this is Admiral Alexander.  I will be there shortly.  Please have the Captain or XO meet me at the docking door.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Sir, I have finished my meetings with Station security and will now be heading to the bridge to prepare for our departure.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: It always does, but I take it poorly that our joy has to make you feel so miserable in the beginning.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::passing by the normal crew complement quarters and heading towards the Admiral's, he taps in the security override at the door to allow him access.  Moving quickly  he sets the gold wrapped package on her bed and walks out, resetting the lock.  Whistling happily to himself as he heads to the TL.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Hey DG!  I'm on my way to the bridge, where are you at?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: enters the TL and triggers it to head to the Bridge. ::

OPS_Nash says:
*ADM*:  Admiral?

CNS_Wells says:
*CSO*: Counselor Wells to Commander Kevin Nash.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Very good, anything new there?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*OPS*:  Yes, if the Captain is busy, have the XO meet me at the docking port.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: receives no response and figures she's got the same load of problems with her department that he has.  Exiting the TL and walking onto the bridge.::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: And that's my cue, darling. Better head up and give the sensors and Science department the once over. ::Gets dressed.:: OPS: Another destination instead.
CNS: Go ahead Counselor.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Unfortunately not. I just hope the next ship looking for LoDuca is up to speed.

CNS_Wells says:
*CSO*: Sir, if you are available, later on today, I'd like the chance for us to meet for our session.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives at the Counselor's office and hits the chime.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Come in ::Stands up and approaches the door::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Understood, we have to have confidence this is for the best.  ::Doesn't add concerns about the upcoming mission just yet.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: sees that none of the senior officers are currently at their stations.  He smiles and heads over to the center seat. ::

CSO_Nash says:
*CNS*: Sure thing, just com me again when you need me. :: Leaves their quarters and heads for the bridge.::

OPS_Nash says:
*ADM*:  I'll have to check with them to see where they are.  I'll let them know of your request.  One or the other will be there.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Agreed sir. Worthington out.

CNS_Wells says:
*CSO*: Very good Sir, I will contact you shortly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the office.:: CNS: Good day, is everything here the way it should be?  In terms of repairs and all of that?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: Heh...they even added a tail hole for him.

CSO_Nash says:
*CNS*: Understood.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes Sir. I found everything in order. Come in, please take a seat.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the TL.:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: looks around almost conspiratorially at the other junior officers, receiving a grin from the TO on duty. ::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::takes a seat in the chair, leaning into the center chair and getting a feel for it.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters and moves to a seat.::  CNS: This one good?  Where would you like to begin?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::reaches the docking door and wonders where the XO is::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: Oh yeah...this feels OH so right.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::looks at what was repaired and is ecstatic to see that the captain's command chair has a hole for his beautiful tail::

OPS_Nash says:
*XO*:  Commander, Admiral Alexander is urgently requesting your presence at the docking door.  you know how anxious she gets.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Ens. Walters>: CTO: Sir, you know they are gonna skin you alive if they catch you.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Exits the TL.:: *XO*: I believe that with the CO occupied that the Admiral would like an escort from the docking bay door. 

Host XO_Worthington says:
*OPS*: On my way, no need to keep her waiting. ::heads for the Admiral on the double::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: That's fine ::Takes a seat next to Captain, not at his desk:: 

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
TO: I'm just keeping it warm for the CO.  Besides, one of these days they are gonna have one in my size.  Just you watch.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I thought we should begin with a general question. How are you?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
AFCO: Lieutenant, what’s the status on flight control and Shuttlebay readiness?

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CSO*: I am almost there. I will take care of her.

CEO_Bishara says:
::walks around engineering noticing that they made her control board is bigger with different power grids:: Self: I guess they added all this for what ever the mission parameters are.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::notices that security has not once approached her::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm fine, although that's a bit of a general statement.  I'm dealing with the stresses of duty quite well I think.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::arrives at the docking ring and opens the hatch for the Admiral::

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
CTO: Hello again Lieutenant Hazzard.  Helm is 100% ready and as far as I can see the shuttle bay is fine.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I agree you are holding up well. I gotta tell you, some of the crew have expressed feelings on having to abandon the LoDuca chase.  What are your feelings on that?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Good to see you Trent.  I was beginning to wonder if I was going to be able to board my own ship!  ::anger kept barely in check::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Goes over to his station and begins running diagnostics on his instruments, choosing a level 3 to start with.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: You seemed a bit stressed when telling the news to the bridge crew earlier.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: My apologies Admiral. I came as fast as I could once I was informed of your request. I apologize for the lack of security, I will speak with the CTO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I can understand that, but I am positive it is for the best.  This is our duty, and a more pressing concern seems to have come up that demands our attention.  That is the way things work.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  We can't have this kind of laxity Trent.  Where the heck are they?  ::walking down the corridor to the TL::  I mean, anyone could come aboard!

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: feels a chill down his spine, as if someone danced on his grave. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: And I didn't notice any stress over the mission, what was it you noticed?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  And why did it take so long to call you?

Host XO_Worthington says:
*SEC*: Beta team to the docking ring, now! *CTO*: Please report to my location immediately.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I understand about duty and agree. Starfleet says go so, we go.  But, Sir, I would like to know how you personally feel. This must disappoint you as it does the others. Forgive me Sir, but on the bridge I did observe a short tone in your voice when addressing crew concerns.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I do not know Admiral. I was just given the message by OPS Nash.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, what has happened to the sharpness of this crew?  I am NOT happy.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: jumps out of the chair and taps his badge a little too hard. :: *XO*: Aye, sir.  On my way!

CEO_Bishara says:
::looks at the differences in the standard consoles that have been modified and the extra consoles for the tactical pods and a whole lot of other stuff that was made new::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I have no excuse for you Admiral. I will make sure that it does not happen again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I know this isn't the usual answer, or the answer that usually can be given, but I know the reason for the change, and unfortunately I cannot discuss it further at this time. Which concerns are you referring to?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Computer: What’s the location of the Commander Worthington? :: pulls a dead jog to the TL as he requests his location. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I want a tour of this ship now.  Have one of the security personnel, if and when they decide to get here, take my bags to my quarters.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Is the reason for your silence on this matter for the success of our next mission or just something you don't wish to get into, Sir?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Aye Admiral. ::sees Beta detail arrive:: SEC: Get this to the Admiral's quarters now! Do not leave this post unattended.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::begins to tap her foot... she will not have the looseness she has seen so far::

CEO_Bishara says:
::looks at where her usual main console is and finds a new console there tied into the tactical systems on the bridge::  All: Ok where did they my...  ::looks and sees where they put it::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Concerns about leaving LoDuca a free being. I know you wanted to capture the guy as much as most.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm under clear orders, orders which will be followed.  Leave it at there is a reason for the mission being ended prematurely.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: Sets the TL to travel to the most immediate junction closest to the XO and breaks out of the TL in a dead run. Nearly colliding with the door to the docking area before it can open as he enters.::

CEO_Bishara says:
Self: Jumping gee whiz this ship is loaded for bear.  And they say it is a simple training mission?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Lieutenant Hazzard reporting as ordered, Sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Shall we begin?  Let's start in engineering and work our way from there.

CSO_Nash says:
*Lt_Goode*: Begin a level 3 diagnostic of all the equipment in the lab immediately.

CEO_Bishara says:
*AFCO*: Ariel did you notice some unique changes?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes Admiral. CTO: Why was there no security on duty, Lieutenant?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::turns and glares at the CTO::

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Yeah I did and it tells me one thing battle and not training.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: LoDuca is one threat, but the Federation is a large collection of worlds, and it has many issues to deal with.

CEO_Bishara says:
*AFCO*: Yeah me too training my derriere.

CSO_Nash says:
<Lt_Goode> *CSO*: Aye Commander.

OPS_Nash says:
::after returning after having another bout of nausea, she gets cleaned up, she changes into her uniform and heads to the bridge::

CEO_Bishara says:
::grabs her rag and shines up some of the finger prints off the new chrome panels in the engine room::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Ok we will leave that topic. However, and with all due respect, Sir. My job is observing behavior and although I think you are doing a bang up job I have noticed things said and done which, aren't of big concern but, lead me to believe you could use an ear once in awhile.  For example, your vast interest in the boy, remember Johnnie? You took a personal interest in him, did you not? Perhaps seeing a bit of yourself in him?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: his eyes go wide at the XO's question.  Caught off guard and already simmering as it is.  :: XO: Sir, Security is on duty.  I have three teams still cleaning up the mess that SCE made in that rush job they called the torpedo pod assembly. If anyone dropped the ball, its me.

CEO_Bishara says:
::makes sure that all her personnel is familiar with the new and updated pieces of hard ware when Jorellen comes flying into the engine room::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: No excuses Lieutenant.  Anyone could have walked aboard this ship. We can not have that. I want double shifts posted and I also want a complete security sweep of the ship and secure of all vital areas. Is that understood?

OPS_Nash says:
::after a few moments, she exits the TL onto the Bridge, she heads over to her station and looks it over to see what upgrades Starfleet did to it.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: In some ways.  Situation is different of course, but there are things similar in both our situations.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Yes sir, immediately sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I am sorry for delaying you. May we begin the tour?

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
OPS: Congratulations sir. You look fine today.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Now to engineering.  I want to see what has been done there.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: turns to the security team leader and growls. :: SEC Team: And at what point and time did we forget to assign departure stations that means we WATCH our exits?

CEO_Bishara says:
*XO*: Engineering is in top shape sir.

CSO_Nash says:
<Lt_Goode> :: Does a quick inventory of sensor pallets and finds that the standard amount has been reduced by about half.:: *CSO*: Commander, we have about half the normal complement of sensor pallets in inventory. Can you do some checking up on that from upstairs?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes Admiral. ::leads the way at a brisk pace, wondering why Hazzard would have a lapse like that.::

OPS_Nash says:
AFCO:  Thanks, I wish I felt fine.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: The Admiral and I will be there shortly. Please have everything in order.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I thought you were great with him.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
OPS: Well it does go with the program.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<SEC TEAM LEADER>: CTO: Sir, they never informed us we were departing sir.  Were still set for shore leave.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking quickly, she enters engineering and begins to look around::

CEO_Bishara says:
*XO*: Understood sir you don't have to worry.  We got it...  ::lets the sentence die::  
ALL: ATTENTION Admiral on deck. ::snaps a salute quickly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I hope so.  And I hope that things with him progress well.  He needs help now.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::ignores everyone and looks in every corner and at every station::

OPS_Nash says:
::just nods at the AFCO::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<SEC TEAM LEADER>: Do you think I enjoy getting chewed out in front of Senior Officers?  Get me DS9 security and get a double posting on every airlock, disposal vent, transporter room, EVERYTHING!  AM I CLEAR?!? :: nearly screams that last part.::

CEO_Bishara says:
::praying that she finds everything in order::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::turns a corner and see some empty crates::  XO:  What are these crates doing here?  I could have stumbled into them and broken my neck!

CNS_Wells says:
CO: "Everyone has their Melron’s", what does that mean? I heard you say that when we were with Johnnie. You had a vacant look at the time and it got me curious.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: Find out what took so long for OPS to answer the Admiral. See if we have any more security lapses.

CSO_Nash says:
*Lt_Goode*: I'll start looking into it, and you may have to come up and finish it up. I'll be needing you to cover me for a counseling session anytime.

CEO_Bishara says:
Admiral: I will have them gone in a second.  ::races and takes the crates and disposes of them quickly::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: takes a deep breath and calms down as his security teams scrambles to make his latest orders a reality.:: *XO*:  Immediately sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: They should not be here. Why are they still here?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*OPS*: Commander Nash, this is Lt. Hazzard.  The XO wants to know why there was a delay in communication concerning the Admiral's arrival.

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Sir if you look again you will find that I have removed them sir.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: stomps out of the docking chamber, trying hard to reign in his temper. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Melron was an idea, a created being from my past.  I took stories as a child and turned them into something he shouldn't have been.  In short, he was a cover for things I did that shouldn't have happened.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Let's go see what mess is in the waste management area.  I can only imagine after this!

CEO_Bishara says:
::makes a note that the Admiral is PO'd about something and doesn't open her mouth::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: I want every inch of deck shined spotless. Adm: Yes Admiral. ::follows after her, wondering what surprises are left::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Rolls his eyes as the CTO demands an answer. Knowing he was holding her hair out of the toilet when the call came in.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I'm not sure I understand. Was Melron like an imaginary friend from childhood?

CEO_Bishara says:
Admiral: Understood sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::stops when she heads out of engineering and sees an ensign in a storage locker, pulling things out and blocking the corridor::

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  Well,  I was sort of indisposed when she contacted me, if a reason needs to be clarified, I was over the toilet with a bout of nausea.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Miller/ Lt. Kilbrowski*: I am seriously hoping you two are on the ball because I am now short 10 g of backside due to the Admiral and Exec finding out our Security was less then stellar!  Make this happen people.  NOW!

CSO_Nash says:
*CTO*: I can vouch for that.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Ens: Ensign! What are you doing?

CEO_Bishara says:
::looks at her staff:: ALL: I don't know what that was about but the Admiral is PO'd about something so lets just get this place shining like a bright sun.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent... ::sighs as the XO sees what she is seeing::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: No, not even close.  I used him as an excuse, I did some things that were borderline moral at best, and I made a "god" to make it right, make it acceptable.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: leans against the wall and sighs. :: *OPS*: Sorry Commander, I just got a good dose of Commander Worthington’s boot in my backside due to my own problems.  I'll relay the situation.  Hazzard out.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Did you sometimes pretend to be this Melron in order to justify childhood actions?

CEO_Bishara says:
*AFCO*: Ariel be careful the Admiral is PO'd about something.  So be ready.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Ens> XO: Nothing sir. Just getting some supplies for the CEO.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: That is something I already know. ::laughs::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Ens:  All over the floor Ensign?  And what if someone was running and hit this mess?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Ens: Ensign, why are you blocking our path and creating a hazard? Do you not know how to safely transport supplies on this ship?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks over to OPS giving her a stiff nod and a well handled look.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: No, he wasn't me.  He was a kind of twisted, off kilter morality.  A way to cower behind the pains of life in servitude to those who didn't deserve breath, much less service.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*XO*: Commander,  OPS reports that delay in communication was due to morning sickness.  She was divulging the contents of her breakfast at the time of the com and expresses her apologies for the delay.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::doesn't wait for an answer and stalks off to waste management::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Ens> Adm: I am sorry Admiral, I was in a  rush...

CNS_Wells says:
CO: You didn't have much adult supervision as a child, did you? Did you see Melron as a tool to cope with loneliness?

CEO_Bishara says:
::Just realizes that there is a new Ensign getting something for her and got the Admiral's and XO's wrath::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Ens: Clean it up, now. Then report for double shifts.  ::runs after the Admiral::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: returns to the security office and taps the com. :: COM: DS9 Security: Cherokee to DS9 Security, respond please.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::goes in like a whirlwind.  Finds crates empty or waiting to be unpacked::  XO:  Trent, is this what we are going to find all over the Cherokee?

CEO_Bishara says:
Jorellen: You know you are not an engineer, so what in the blue blazes are you doing here? And I want to know why you pick now when the Admiral is onboard?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: No, nothing real.  He was more like a nightmare turned into a daydream gone wrong.  Loneliness wasn't the issue, at that time.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: That is unacceptable. She should have notified someone immediately. I will have to talk with her. Adm: I just arrived, I would certainly hope not but it appears likely.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: So, Melron was a way to vent what you thought to be negative thoughts.

CEO_Bishara says:
<Jorellen> CEO: T'Lar I am so sorry I should have known better but I need to know your answer?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  To the armory.  If it is in this kind of shape, the personnel will be running drills and cleanup for the next month!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, that's close enough.  I saw them as survival tools, and I came to believe that was all that mattered.

CEO_Bishara says:
Jorellen: Get out! Get your backside back down to maintenance before you get me busted to crewmember.  We will talk later now get out of here.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes Admiral. I will take the appropriate measures with OPS so they can answer for this mess.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Melron sounds like a complicated fellow. I'd like to explore that more. I read in your files you lost your Mom early on in life.  What about your Dad? I didn't see much about him.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::going to the TL, she waits on Trent to enter::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: the doors of the Security office close shut, but even with the sound dampening characteristics of the corridor the sounds of a Constable getting the chewing of a life time can be heard throughout the deck. ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::follows right behind, wondering what is in store for them at the Armory::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Neither did I.  I have no idea who he was.  Was too young when my mother was around to understand something was missing, and too old once I got away from the Grima's grip.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
TL:  Armory.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Miller*: Miller, you better have things in ship shape in the Armory.  I take another beating from the Admiral and the XO again, I am promising that the snowball will roll down hill, understood?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> CTO: Aye sir.  We're on it.  Armory should be good to go.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::exiting the TL she turns in the direction of the armory::  XO:  God help us if this place is in shambles.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: slumps into his chair and puts his head in his hands, taking a deep breath.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::follows after the Admiral, thinking the same thing::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: Two security officers stand outside the newly refurbished armory, both standing motionless as they guard the door. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Hmmm, interesting we seem to have that in common. I know my Dad's name but that's all. Anyway, is there anything you would like to bring up with me at this time?  I'll warn you, ::Smiles so the CO knows he is sort of kidding:: Those who claims there is nothing usually have something.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking in she slows her pace and looks at a beautifully stored armory::  XO:  Now THIS is more like it!

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller>: Armory Team: Admiral on DECK!

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
OPS: I hope you have a good pregnancy this time.  ::smiles::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt Miller:  Now this is a work of art.  My congratulations to you and your men.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Everyone has something.  Just some of us took more than we should have to acknowledge it.  I was in my 20's before I was willing to look at my "demons", and I understand they never fully go away.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I will have them double check the inventory just to be safe. ::nods to Miller::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> ADM: Thank you ma'am.

OPS_Nash says:
::she starts calling around to her staff to make sure that all the supplies have arrived::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Yes sir.  :: hands the Inventory PADD to the XO and gestures to the ready arms locker. ::

OPS_Nash says:
AFCO:  My last one was all right.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  If we went to Red Alert right now, who would be deployed?

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
OPS: May this one be just as good.

OPS_Nash says:
AFCO:  Come what may, just as long as I give birth to a healthy child.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Lt Miller> Adm: Red Alert protocols have the CTO and team Alpha for Bridge and decks 1 through 5, with Bravo and Charlie teams responding to crew critical locations.  Delta and Echo teams covering as a rotating roaming team, ma'am.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I guess then I have all I need for now but Sir, I'd like to schedule more sessions. I think it my duty to stay in close contact with a ship's CO, I'm sure you understand the reasoning. You said it yourself, we all have demons.

CEO_Bishara says:
::finishes shining the chrome on the warp core::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS/FCO: May I suggest if you haven't already started them begin running a Level 3 Diagnostic on your stations.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, would you call that adequate coverage?  ::beginning to smile::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Just let me know, and I'll find the time.  I normally flexible shifts to say the least, so shouldn't be an issue.  I found it easier early on to work 3, 3 hour shifts that allowed me to work with each shift.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Commander, don't you think I already have gotten that under way?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: No I would not. Lt. Miller: You forgot about the increased security detail for our VIP guest. ::motions to the Admiral::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Relax Commander, it was just a suggestion.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~XO:  Don't be too hard on him Trent.  I am very please with this armory and the security measures from this point on.~~~

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Very good, Sir. Thank you for coming down. I hope it was a good experience for you. If it was spread the word I ain't so bad ::Smiles and stands::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Sir.  With all due respect, during a red alert situation, VIP status is covered under Alpha team.  That’s Standard protocol.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Trust me, I've seen much worse.  Let me know if you need anything else.  ::Stands as well.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Lt Miller: But other than that oversight, it seems as if things are in order here. Good work. Adm: Where would you like to go next?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Does not let the outburst anger him in the least knowing what OPS is going through right now.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Sickbay. I can't wait to see what is going on there.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Science labs while we are there as well.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes Admiral. ::hopes he does not have to strangle anyone. Follows the Admiral.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Hates having to speed through these evaluations but there are to many to get done. Just needing to be sure everyone is in fine enough mental health for what lies ahead::

OPS_Nash says:
::hope that last thing she said won't have any serious consequences later.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> *CTO*: Boss, Hurricane Alexander has left.  I think we might have passed through with minimal damage.  Hope that helps, boss.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: And just so you know, things will be made clear soon.  I'll see you on the Bridge later.  ::Exits the room.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Thanks ::Walks the CO to the door:: I'll let you know about our next session soon.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grins hearing Lt. Millers thoughts::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Miller*: Thanks Quentin, nice job.  At least one of us looks competent right now.  Hazzard out.

CNS_Wells says:
*CSO*: Sir, this is Wells. Are you available?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: leans back in his chair and picks up another PADD.  His anger is positively radiating at this point after his conversation with the Constable on board DS9.  Growling in fury as he Tosses the PADD against the wall. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::exiting the TL she walks towards sickbay::  XO:  Trent, you handle this one.  I want to know what plans they have in place for casualties, trauma, etc.  ::walks into sickbay and waits for the XO to proceed::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Security Department*: ALL Security teams, this is the CTO.  As of this moment I'm calling a Red Alert Drill.  ALL Security teams, full gear, full alert, NOW!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::following the Admiral:: Adm: Yes Admiral. ::walks into Sick Bay and looks around.:: MO: Status!

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks over to OPS as she busies herself with her work and gets misty eyed due to the fact that the stress is getting to her and thinks of how he could have been so selfish to put her into this situation.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Lt. Hazzard.  Just informing you the red alert is a drill.  My boys need a reminder of who they work for.  Hazzard out.

Host MO-Smart says:
::gulps and looks up::  XO:  Sir, yes Sir!  All medical supplies have been received and stored.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Understood, let me know if you need anything additional for it.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Will do, just don't let the alarms fool you.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*AFCO*: Lieutenant, this is the CTO.  Sound Red Alert.

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Report your readiness. How many teams are standing by? What is your contingencies for emergency trauma?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*AFCO* Let the crew know its a drill though.

CSO_Nash says:
*Lt_Goode*: Report to the bridge to relieve me.

Host MO-Smart says:
XO:  Sir, we are ready when... ::hears the Red Alert and turns to ignore the XO:  *ALL Medical personnel*:  Everyone to their stations.  Teams deploy to your decks and be prepared for anything.  Trauma teams, deploy to the cargo bays and flight deck.

Host MO-Smart says:
XO:  Does that answer your question Sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Turbolift and heads towards the Bridge.::

CSO_Nash says:
*CNS*:On my way. :: Sees Goode step out to take his spot.::

CSO_Nash says:
<Lt_Goode> CSO: Reporting as ordered.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*XO*: Commander, disregard Red Alert.  Running a drill to see what other holes I have to plug sir.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the TL.:: TL: CNS Office.

CNS_Wells says:
*CSO*: Very good, Sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: It does, carry on. *CTO*: Understood. Adm: Does this meet with your approval?

Host MO-Smart says:
::Nods and recalls her teams after hearing the CTO's statement to the XO::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: moves from deck to deck to monitor the readiness of his teams, checking every man to ensure their gear, their awareness and their position is within not just Starfleet standards, but his own.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Exits the lift and rings the CNS chime.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Yes it does.  About time a department was efficient.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Enter, please.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I want to see the flight deck now.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Steps into the office and stands at ramrod attention in front of the desk.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: enters the TL and leans against the wall within, still smarting from the embarrassment in the docking ring. ::

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::takes the opportunity to shine up her console and make sure everything is in the correct position.::

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Welcome Commander, come in and take a seat. ::Waits then sits himself::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Shall we check the Sci labs later?

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: Commander Nash reporting as requested.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Remains standing.::

OPS_Nash says:
::she motions to one of her staff to take over as she feels quite indisposed::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I think if sickbay looks like this, we can expect the science labs to be equally in order.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Aye. ::follows her to the flight deck::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Kilbrowski*: Mike, check on Delta and Echo teams.  Let me know if we're gonna have a problem with them.  The XO and the Admiral are touring the ship and I didn't make a good impression.

CEO_Bishara says:
<Jorellen>  :: turns around and shoots T'Lar a message::  ~~~CEO: I didn't know the Admiral was here. I am sorry.~~~

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Relax, Sir or you'll make ME nervous ::Smiles:: This is just a check in with all personnel to make sure everyone has their head in the game. Won't you sit?

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: If it's all the same, I think better on my feet.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives on the Bridge, , taking a moment to let the crew know to continue going about their business, then moves towards the Ready Room.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks into the flight deck and her jaw drops::  XO:  Do we have monkeys working in here?  ::tools and equipment of all kinds were scattered all over the floor::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees that stubbornness will not get him far he sits with a huge sigh.::

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*OPS*: Kyleigh?  Its Mark.  I'm sorry if I came across like a jackanape.  My boys...no, I dropped the ball with the XO and got a good chewing at.  I'm sorry.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::grimaces::  Self: Here it comes.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Do my eyes deceive me or do we have two shuttles down?  And what the blue blazes are they doing to the Sequoia?  :;begins to run over to her::

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: As you wish, Sir. ::Watches him sit:: I'll try not to take up much of your time. 

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I can not disprove your theory. All: Who is in charge here?

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: I see from the ship's complement changes that your Father in law has left us. I'm sure you and your family will miss him.

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  I'm not gonna worry to much at this time.

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: No trouble. I'm just kind of annoyed with myself at the present.  Yes, Stephen left for home on the last shuttle to Betazed about 4 hours ago.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
*Admiral*: I will be right there sir.  ::heads for the TL and the flight deck::

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Annoyed? Why is that?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, who authorized any work done on the Sequoia?  ::walks inside the runabout and sees consoles torn out::

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Self: I told them jack apes down there to have that flight deck cleared.

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: It was nice to have him around. OPS seemed quite content. Well I came off as being overly bossy on the bridge a few minutes ago.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: No one as far as I know. The Sequoia should be off limits to anyone but assigned personnel.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Why do you think that? 

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Heads better roll over this one, but I have a sneaky suspicion someone from DS 9 did this.  The crew loves this ship too much to let anything like this happen.  Who is in charge?

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::gets off the TL and flies into the flight deck::  ALL: What in the name of Heck is going on here.  You dump jack apes! I told you that the Sequoia was off limits and that this flight deck was supposed to be cleaned yesterday.  What the hell happened now?  Some One explain that to me NOW!!!

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I believe that is your answer.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::turns to the Admiral:: Admiral: I apologize for my language but not my temper.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> *CTO* : Boss, you've got an incoming com from the CO on DS9 wondering why you just chewed out his Constable.  He's not to happy and wants to speak with you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Hears someone yelling at the top of her lungs outside the ship::  XO:  I believe you are right.  ::and begins to smile for the second time that day::

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: It goes many levels deep and one is the fact that I ordered a previous order.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Do you think you were out of line with your orders and just in the way they were delivered?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
aFCO:  As long as this gets taken care of Lt.  ::pointing to the mess::

Host XO_Worthington says:
aFCO: Find out who did this. I want names!

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Kilbrowski*: Inform the CO there that his Constable needs to square himself away before he starts stomping on my front yard.  And if he has a problem with that, tell him he can carry his candy cane posterior directly to me and I'll square him away myself!

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
ADM/XO: You want names, I want the heads of those incompetent idiots.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Is something troubling you? Perhaps the abandonment of the LoDuca chase?

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: No I just issued them as a suggestion and it upset someone close.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Kilbrowski*: And you can quote me on that!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::lowers her head, doing her best not to smile::

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
ADM/XO: Mess will be gone in fifteen minutes and the Sequoia will be put back together right now.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Close? Like your wife, maybe? or Mr. Hazzard?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I apologize Admiral. Shall we head to the bridge to see what condition it is in?

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: That's not it. Being away from LoDuca and Smith right now and being back on the Cherokee is somewhat comforting.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I believe I have had all I can take for the moment.  I will take another tour in 4 hours.  This ship, better BE shipshape or some careers are going to end very abruptly!

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::collars one of the ensigns:: Ens. Jackson: I believe I told you to not touch the Sequoia?  WHY in the name of Kahless did you see fit to tear it apart?

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
TL: Bridge...pronto.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: You may have a point there. A change may be good for us all. 

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Aye. There will be no repeat. I can assure you of that.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
<TL Computer> CTO: Undefined parameter.  Please state request again.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
<Ensign Jackson> AFCO: But sir you told me to fix...

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: Let's just say close for now. I am just wondering if I am being to overzealous when I'm in charge.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Nods::  XO:  Where is my escort?  I want to go take an aspirin.  I will be in my quarters.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: growls and pounds the control for express travel. :: TL: BRIDGE!

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Ens Jackson: I told you not to touch her but to fix that ::points to the second of two shuttles:: that was the shuttle to fix not the SEQUOIA!

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Are you concerned now that your father in law is gone that your children will suffer somehow or not be as safe? This could be effecting your disposition.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::waves for the security team to follow the Admiral:: Adm: Understood.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, do I need to suggest some drills?  ::grinning at him and reading his mind::  No, I didn't think so.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: exits the TL onto the bridge and nods to the Ensign on station at Tactical, taking over for him as he immediately starts to monitor the progress of the Red Alert drill.  Hands gripping the station with white knuckled fury. ::

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: No that's not it either. We have  competent people who look after them when we are on duty.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: We can take a closer look at your people skills in later sessions if you'd like. We all could use practice in dealing with others.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I will leave the bridge to you and Tio.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::leaves with her escort following closely on her heels::

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: I just feel that I put this person in this situation, and my duties require that I ask more and more out of them even if they have and will have diminished capacities in the future.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Thank you Admiral. I will begin with those drills. *OPS*: Inform the crew that we are going to have a situation readiness drill. Make the announcement in 5 minutes.

AFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::shakes her head and is quite mad at herself cause she knows it was not their fault but none the less they should have notified her first::

CEO_Bishara says:
::looks at the shining engine room now and smiles::

OPS_Nash says:
::she checks on the progress of the Level 3 diagnostic on her system.  *XO*:  Yes, Commander.

CTO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and takes a moment to calm himself down, realizing that he's setting a poor example for the junior officers assigned on the bridge at the moment. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Can you tell me about the incident?  I'd like to understand what happened on the bridge. This isn't the place to be vague. I need details. It goes no further than me.

CSO_Nash says:
CNS: Do I have your solemn vow on that?

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Of course.
