Host Adm-Alexander says:
::in her room, trying to get T'Sara to take a short nap::  T'Sara:  Honey I promise, we will see the rest of the crew later.  Now lay down an rest for a while.  Momma has some work to do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On the surface of Risa, walking along, wondering how many of the locals realize that their time under martial law was no where near as bad as it could have been.::

Unknown_person says:
::sits in the shuttle's co-pilots seat, admiring the view as they start their descent to Risa::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::summoning Cleopatra mentally, she has the cat lay down next to her daughter.::

CNS_Wells says:
::At the residence of Barbara Cooper, not doing much of anything::

OPS_Nash says:
::walking along a beautifully landscaped scenic path as she is watching Liam and Kiandra play on ahead, but not too far ahead.::

Unknown_person says:
COM: Risan Space control: This is the Starfleet Runabout Mad-dog, requesting permission to land.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::humming, she notices T'Sara's arm envelope Cleopatra and is almost instantly asleep.  She brushes the hair on her forehead away, and stands up from the bed::

Unknown_person says:
@<Risan space control operator>COM: Runabout Mad-dog: You are cleared for landing, we are sending your coordinates now. Risa out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Trying to take in the view of the entire area, not focusing on any individual part.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Just putting the finishing touches on a letter to Zach, after learning from him that he wouldn't be able to return to Risa as his ship is going to Utopia Planetia::

Unknown_person says:
@::he moves his grav-chair back, wondering what they will think when they see him like...that::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~Cleopatra:  Let me know when she wakes up.  I am going for a stroll.~~~

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::picking up a light jacket in case the weather cools down.  She then opens the door and walks out of her room and to the elevator to go down to the main floor::

Unknown_person says:
@::checks himself in the reflection of the console again, and winces::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sipping on yet another Long Island Iced Tea and feeling very, very good::

Unknown_person says:
@Pilot: Can you locate Captain Ayidee's Combadge?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::exiting the elevator, she walks through the lobby and out into the Risan sunlight::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sits back in lounge chair, on the deck over looking the ocean::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Starts for the edge of town, hoping to find a nice, quiet hill to just sit and rest from.  Walks slowly towards the edge, still looking about.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::she stops just a moment in inhale the fresh air.  It seems forever since her feet have been on solid ground::

Unknown_person says:
@<Pilot>Unknown_person: Aye sir, I will put us down close to his location and transmit the data to your PADD.

CNS_Wells says:
::The warmth of the Risa sun feels good on his bare skin::

OPS_Nash says:
::she finds a nice area to sit down along the pathway, she gathers the twins around her and tells them that they can play more as long as they are in her sights the whole time.  Then she watches as the go a few feet away to play some more, this time in a more dirt related playing field. Kyleigh didn't care, they will be taking a bath later anyway.::

Unknown_person says:
@Pilot: Thank you, and nice flying ensign.

Unknown_person says:
@::as the shuttle sets down, he grabs his PADD and activates the tracking program, then moves his grav-chair towards the door and heads out::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::closing her eyes, she moves her hand in front of her and points.  She opens her eyes and takes that direction::

CNS_Wells says:
::Has enjoyed these last few days here, the days being the best time of day.  Not only is the sun at its peak but, his hostess, Barbara is away at work during the day and he has the whole beach house to himself::

Unknown_person says:
::he moves the chair forward, over the green grass and thanks the doctor for pointing out he should use a sun block due to his burns.  Sets the chair to max and starts driving across the field, coming closer to Ayidee's signal::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::as she walks, she notices the smiles and feels the joy of those around her;:

OPS_Nash says:
::she is just enjoying watching Liam and Kiandra play in front of her, better it out of the system now because no one knows when the next time for this much fun will happen next.::

Unknown_person says:
::sees the Captain on the hill, his back to him and starts getting closer, a big smile appearing on his face::
CO: Captain Ayidee...it has been a long time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns at the voice.::  Unknown: Eh?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Captain turns to see who has spoken to him.  The man in front of the Captain is quite different than the last time they spoke, he is bound to a n anti-grav chair and his face bares the resemblance of an old friend, but horribly burnt and scarred, the man's hair has all fallen off and is just starting to grow back, and the major difference is the red uniform he's wearing instead of gold, and the three pips identifying him as LtCmdr.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Commander, I didn't know you were in the system.  You are...what happened?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::salutes smiling::
CO: A long story Captain.  It is good to see you, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: You as well.  And it seems there are a lot of long stories running through Starfleet of late.  Still, it is good to see you as well.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::grins:: CO: I heard about the Cherokee and the war, is everyone alright?

CNS_Wells says:
::Opens up the book he was reading on his PADD and pops a piece of candy in his mouth, as he lies back to read::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: No, we made it through in pretty good shape, considering.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::turns his chair around:: CO: I'm glad to hear it.....I hope someone competent will take care of the repairs? ::grins::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Although we could have used some experience at Engineering at certain times.  We're making do the best we can for now, however.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CO: Good to be missed sir. ::laughs::  But I'm afraid my engineering days are over, for now at least.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking up ahead, she sees Tio with someone that appears to be in a wheel chair::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Where are you assigned now, while you recover?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CO: Arcadia station sir. ::points to his red shirt:: They made me XO.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking up to the pair, she stands back and waits to be acknowledged by them::

CNS_Wells says:
::Turns over and lies on stomach not missing a word of his book::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::looks up at the Admiral smiling, wondering if she recognizes him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Congratulations, they couldn't make a better choice.
Adm: Admiral, good morn.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: Admiral.
CO: Thank you sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO/Rome:  Good morning gentlemen.  I didn't mean to interrupt.  I see you have found a way to get around quickly Mr. Rome! ::smiling at him::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::grins:: Adm: Why I ever used to walk fathoms me Admiral.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  When are you going to send me an engineer like you?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: What, you mean there's no one as amazing as me up in my engine room?? ::laughs::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  Not likely!  ::laughing with him::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::smiles::  Adm/CO: So where is the rest of the crew?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  They are scattered all over Risa.  Some I am not sure where they are!

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: Doesn't surprise me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Off around the planet.  We were on patrol duty once we returned to the system, so it's been some time they've been stuck on board ship.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  What has SF Medical had to say about your condition?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CO: You think we can gather some to meet us for a drink? I'm afraid I can't stay long. New orders just came in, but when I was reading system reports and saw that you were on Risa I just had to drop by.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: Oh, I'll be walking in another week or so Admiral, the neural damage was severe. And they should have my face all back to beautiful in no time. ::smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: I'll see if I can track a few down, give me a moment.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::nods to the Captain in appreciation::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::chuckling::  Rome:  I am glad to hear that... you broke quite a few hearts when you left the Cherokee.

OPS_Nash says:
::she begins laughing with Liam and Kiandra as they seem to get dirtier and messier as each moment passes. Of course some of the good time fun finds its way over to Kyleigh::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: Well I couldn't resist an Akira class engine ma'am. ::smiles wide:: And that's what got me into my current position. ::laughs::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  Don’t tell me it was the Dallas?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: Anyone who is available, Admiral Alexander and I have run into an old friend, Commander Rome.  He'd like to get a chance to see a few of you while we're on the surface.  We're at the intersection of Chance street and Gnow avenue if you could make your way here.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: No ma'am, the Scimitar. Been their CEO since I left, and just got assigned to Arcadia two days ago.

OPS_Nash says:
::hearing a familiar name over from the Captain::  *CO:*  I'll be there with the kids.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  Well, hopefully those close will be able to meet us here.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::smiles::

OPS_Nash says:
::she stands up, and gathers up the twins and they make their way to the meeting place.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Hears the Captain's voice over his COM:: SELF: Wha...? Oh, ummm, now where did I put my COM badge? ::Gets up and looks around, finding it in a pile with his clothes::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::in the distance, she sees Kyleigh approaching with her two children::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: So Admiral, did you ever think your old Engineer would be wearing red? Came as a surprise to me, I can tell you. ::smiles::

CNS_Wells says:
::Activates COM badge:: *CO*: Umm, yes Captain, Wells here. Umm,. Let me get dressed and I'll be right there. ::Scrambles around to get himself dressed::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  Never, I am glad when my crew attain higher rank.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Not that much of a surprise to those that served with you.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CO: You are too kind, sir. ::smiles::

OPS_Nash says:
::she sees everyone at the meeting place and she is picking up the pace some, dirty appearance and all::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::looks to his left as he sees Kyleigh and the twins, and a big grin appears on his face.  It's been so long since they spoke::

CNS_Wells says:
::Dressed in bathing suit, a flower print shirt and sandals uses Barbara's transporter system to go to Chance and Gnow Streets::

OPS_Nash says:
::as she approaches, she notices a man in a grav-chair, looking like he got on the wrong end of something flammable.  Suddenly the twins seem to be somewhat afraid to move on so they move behind Kyleigh::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  I know Mr. Hazzard is in some kind of tournament and probably can't answer the COM.  And knowing the CMO, he is buried in new medical journals with this badge turned off.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
Adm: Too bad ma'am...I'll just have to give those two a call later.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks and sees the Nash kids running about:: SELF: They must be over there ::Heads towards them::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  And there is no telling where Trent has gone to!  ::grinning;:

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::laughs:: OPS: Kyleigh! Over here.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A very tired looking stranger beams in among the Cherokee crew.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees familiar faces and one guy in a grav-chair:: SELF: Who the hell?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::jerks around in a surprise:: CNS: Garrison! You scared the living daylights out of me!

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: Chief Rome? Good heavens man, what happened to you?

OPS_Nash says:
Rome:  I know, give me a moment, the twins need some reassuring that it is safe.  ::she tells them that its all right, and that the man in the chair will not hurt them, they all proceed still with a little caution::

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::lugging a PADD and a large package, looks around the environment::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::eyes the stranger up and down::  Marston:  What can we do for you Cmdr.?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::smiles at Kyleigh:: OPS: Don't worry.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Marston: Commander, is there something we can help you with?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CNS: And what happened? Well lack of contact with my favorite counselor, what else? ::grins and extends his arm::

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: Are you going to be alright?

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::turns at the voice:: ADM/CO: Good ::glances up at the sky:: morning, Ma'am, Sir. Lieutenant Commander Marston. I'm from Admiral Harlan's office.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CNS: Oh yes, another week or so and I'll be back to my old self.

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: That is good to hear ::Is distracted by the newest arrival::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CNS: Just the risks of being an engineer, Gar.

OPS_Nash says:
::she listens to Marston::

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: So, what have you been up to these days?

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::motions to the LtCmdr:: CNS: Let's see what he has first.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Marston:  Has anything happened with the Synod?

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks at Marston::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::is praying her crew is not going to be called back to duty;:

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Marston: Go ahead, Commander.  Has something happened?

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::shakes head:: No ma'am. They're still 'peaceful' as ever. I'm here regarding another matter. It took some creative tracking to find a group of the Cherokee crew larger than a pair. They're all over the planet. ::almost yawns and straightens:: CO: Captain, might I have your attention and that of your crew for a few moments?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Marston: Of course, we're all yours.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::smiles at the twins, trying to ease their worries, thinking they probably don't remember him at all::

CNS_Wells says:
::Is curious now::

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
CO: No sir. Everything's fine. ::steps around to face the group, raising his voice, which shows the strain of constant and heavy use in recent days:: All: Good morning. My name is Lieutenant Commander Marston, Third Attaché to Fleet Admiral Harlan's personnel office.

CNS_Wells says:
::Suddenly feels underdressed::

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::starts to name off a list of the ship's senior crew and then stops to look at them:: All: Who is present here?

OPS_Nash says:
Marston:  Lt Cmdr Kyleigh Nash.

CNS_Wells says:
Marston: I am Lieutenant Commander Garrison Wells, ship's Counselor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Marston: Captain Ayidee.

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::nods, ticking those names off:: Who else?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Marston:  Just me Commander, and Mr. Hazzard and Dr. Brabas and our XO Mr. Worthington.

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::finds all the senior staff is accounted for and then tries, and fails, to clear his throat again:: All: Thank you very much. ::thumbs the PADD over but doesn't look at it, reciting from rote memory from his many recitations::

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
All: On behalf of the Democratic Government of the Amenti Ward and by sanction of the Supreme Assembly of the Federation Council and approval by Starfleet Command, I hereby award you all the Sanctum Star campaign medal for your efforts in the Sanctum War. The President thanks you for your service.

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::puts the large PADD down and opens the box that he came with, taking from within the box of many, a handful of gleaming gold medals, dangling with a large ruby-colored gem sparkling in the middle of it, obviously alien in design.  steps forward and pins one first on the captain and offers his hand:: 
CO: Congratulations, Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Salutes.::  Marston: Thank you, Commander.  ::Shakes his hand.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Relieved, thought they were getting bad news:: Self: Oh! All: Oh, well then, that's a good thing.

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::moves down to Nash and pins it on her:: OPS: Congratulations, Commander. ::offers his hand::

OPS_Nash says:
::suddenly feels a bit out of place at such a special moment::  Marston:  Thank you, pardon the dirt on the hands, I was playing with my children.

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::stops himself and steps back briefly:: All: I almost forgot. I was ordered to inform you that as this award comes from what is still technically a foreign power, you are not required to accept it. You can decline formally and have it recorded thusly.  Does anyone choose to decline?

OPS_Nash says:
Marston:  I will accept with pride and dignity, and honor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Marston: No, but I thought the Amenti Ward had signed the treaty to join the Federation?

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::glances sideways:: CO: It has sir, but they are still a tertiary member until fully ratified. ::shakes Nash's hand and moves on to Wells, pinning it on his uniform:: CNS: Congratulations Commander. ::offers his hand::

CNS_Wells says:
:: Shakes the guys hand:: Marston: Thank you. ::Is glad he put on a shirt or that pin woulda hurt::

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::finishes up with the others and steps back, straightening his obviously tired frame and then favoring them with a formal salute:: All: Congratulations to all of you , and I have been asked to pass along Fleet Admiral Harlan's personal thanks as well.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Marston:  Thank the Admiral and the Amenti for us.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::starts an applaud from the back of the group::

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks at the medal against the yellow and orange flower print shirt he's wearing:: Self: It's a look.

FourthHQ_LtCmdr_Marston says:
::releases the salute:: ADM: Yes, admiral. ::glances at the man in the hover chair and then taps his badge:: *Arcadia*: Marston to Arcadia. One to beam up.  ::disappears in a blaze of particle rain::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
All: Congratulations to all of you. ::salutes them all::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  They deserved it...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Thank you Commander.  I hope to keep hearing good things about your career as well.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::smiles and nods to the Admiral::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CO: Thank you sir, though I've had my share with heroics for now. At least they can wait until I can walks again.

OPS_Nash says:
::looks at the medal, then shows it to her curious twins, they thought it was pretty. and she told them that it is not a toy.::

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: Yeah, stay in touch. At least now we know where to find you.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CNS: Please, if you ever drop by, let me know. I'll give you the full tour.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: We'll keep it in mind.  We came to know a few of your station mates during the last battle and the trip back.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
CO: Aye, they are good people, but the sad thing is Arcadia is being relocated, so no more sunny shores for me.

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: I will

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::his PADD beeps:: All: Well I'm afraid it's time for my shift to start.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rome: Keep safe.  ::Salutes.::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::salutes:: All: Thank you, and it was good to see you once again.

LtCmdr_Rome says:
*Cygnus*: Commander Rome to USS Cygnus, one to beam directly to the Bridge.

CNS_Wells says:
Rome: Take better care of yourself, this time. ::Smiles::

LtCmdr_Rome says:
::smiles as the transporter beam latches on::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rome:  Be careful!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I am so very proud of you.  Now back to your R & R time!
