Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10702.04, Captain Ayidee recording.  We have completed our shore leave on Risa and are about to return to the ship so we can travel to the Tholian border.  Considering their involvement in the recent war, Starfleet is concerned about further action against the Federation.  It's our job to find it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Surface, ready to return to the ship.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, I will not be joining you for this mission.  I have to get back to Starbase 33.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  You will have some extra surprises waiting for you on the Cherokee.  Let me know what you think of them! ::grinning at him with a twinkle in her eye::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Understood, you have a fleet and a Starbase to run.  We'll be fine.  It was nice having you along for the duration, even if the mission wasn't the most pleasant.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Kyleigh, let me know when your time is due.  I want to be there for this baby.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He is walking off transporters trying to hide pain from his soul::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles as he brushes a bit of lint from his otherwise impeccable uniform. :: Adm: You've got it, Ma'am.  I'll go over that stuff with a fine tooth comb if I have to.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Let's hope we never have another job like the one we just had.

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives in the lobby of the Bay Hotel and joins the others, there whistling, "Hi Ho; Hi Ho; It’s Off To Work We Go". He has four pieces of luggage with him on a borrowed luggage cart he is pushing ahead of him, stopping just short off Mr. Hazzard::

OPS_Nash says:
Adm:  Will do.  ::her family is around her::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: turns around and looks at the luggage. :: CNS: Tell me that you left something for them to clean in your room, Gary.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Take good care of my crew.  I think one might be a tad "crazy".  ::laughing::

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: I don't think so.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: We all know I'm the crazy one.  Crazy good looking that is.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: What? Where are you going?  ::Looks sad::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Jovan, glad you are back with us.  Next time, no more medical conferences for you!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Softly smile:: Adm: I hope not one just like this.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Look after each other.  Now I know you are anxious to get to the Cherokee.  Good luck and God's speed.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Adm: But glad to be back on ::he gently stops looking around:: back

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I never was on the Cherokee without you before. I'll miss you.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: Don't worry about her, worry about who has to deal with her now that she's leaving.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Well you never know Gary when I will turn up.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Adm: Well we shall se each other soon I assume?

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles bittersweet at her as she goes::

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: Yeah, but she was always nice to me.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  As I said Jovan, you never know.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Is everyone finished with their business here?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::turns to leave, then turns back to the crew and waves::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Nods::

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks to himself about her leaving - What a buzz kill::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: waves back at the admiral before turning to his Captain. :: CO: I'm all set and ready to see how those monkey's at Starfleet Repair have ruined my baby.

CNS_Wells says:
::Waves::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Not really, Sir, but duty calls, if you catch my meaning.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I suppose so, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Cherokee*: This is Captain Ayidee, 5 to Transport.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Are the twins joining us?

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Yes they are. I am never going to be without them again.

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks - Hope they don't forget my luggage::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Well, that makes the Admirals leaving easier to take. Once again we will have the sounds of little Nash feet on the Cherokee.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Technology has a way to change all he thinks Now we shall just change a sort of dimension::

Host Adm-Alexander ACTION:  The crew of the Cherokee are beamed up. (Transporter.wav)

OPS_Nash says:
::smiles as she is being grabbed by the transporter beam::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: steps off of the transporter pad, handing his duffel bag to the waiting arms of Lt. Miller. :: CO: Captain, I'm going to take a look at those supplies the Admiral mentioned...won't take me long.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives on board.::  All: When you have everything settled in quarters, I'll see you all on the Bridge.  First order of business will be to confirm proper ship condition.  I'll see you there.  CTO: Very well.  ::Turns and heads for the Bridge.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Rematerializes in the Transporter Room:: Self: home sweet home. ::Steps off the pad::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: How much time do we have?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: A few minutes, not a huge rush, but we do have a job to do out here.

OPS_Nash says:
::she appears in the transporter room, all is back as it should be, she steps off and heads to her quaint family quarters to get everything settled.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Has the Transporter chief send his luggage to his quarters, gives the guy a tip and heads out the door::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He didn't wait for answer to long to listen he just went to his quarters::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Understood, I need a quick sonic shower and I am back in uniform.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: Walks briskly to the cargo holding bay, already tapping his Combadge as he starts to boot up his PADD. :: *Lt. Kilbrowski* : Mike, its the boss.  Have a full situation report ready for the Captain when he asks for it.  Also, set us up for full drill schedules starting now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Gets in Turbolift, taking it to the bridge.::  OOD: Report, what is our situation?

CNS_Wells says:
::Makes a stop to his office and his quarters to see if everything is as it should be::

OPS_Nash says:
::seeing that everything is getting to some sense of normalcy, she hugs her precious Twins, then heads to the bridge, while conversing with Dawn Tiernan who fills her in that Ships Operations is ready for action, good she has something to report upon arriving on the Bridge::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> *CTO*: Yes sir.  In fact he's already on the bridge.   Sheesh...did you take a course in slave driving down there?

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> CO: Sir, Ships in Geosynchronous orbit around Risa, awaiting your orders to depart, all departments stand ready and await your word.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He quickly walks through corridors and enters his room on the ship, throwing things away from his arm leaving his coat to lie down on the floor as he enter the sonic shower he pushes buttons and a slight sound buzz trough the air getting off all filth from his body only::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shakes his head as he takes the nearest TL down to the Cargo Bay.  Stretching slightly as he travels to get the kinks out. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks - after the long R&R we had, it should be pretty quiet in my department for awhile. It will take a little time before everyone gets nuts again::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As it ends he rushes to the drawers and pulls out one with fresh uniform and gets it on him self::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::hears the TL doors open and looks to see who it is::  ALL:  Captain on deck!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He looks at the mirror and in few milliseconds he sees a strange face as it she is standing behind him::

CNS_Wells says:
::Fires up his console and scheduler programs, visits the bathroom to look at his tan, brush his teeth and comb his hair then, heads to the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Kilbrowski: Very good, we'll hold departure until the senior staff arrives.  For now, have Operations get us clearance to break orbit, ETA about 10 minutes.

OPS_Nash says:
::she exits the TL, and walks to her station, and activates her console, amazing, the upgrade made everything work much faster.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He looks quickly over his shoulder just to find empty space behind and nothing else::  
Self: Ahh I need to focus.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> CO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He makes his hair and walks to the Sick bay::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves to sit, reviewing the repair and re-supply reports on the console.::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> aOPS: Ops Officer, arrange for clearance to leave orbit in ten minutes.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  I have received coordinates for Tholian space.  Helm is ready on your orders Sir.

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives on the bridge, looks around and finds a place to be::

CNS_Wells says:
CO/OPS: The bridge looks the same.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: enters the Cargo hold and has to whistle at the arrangement and quantity of "toys" the admiral had stocked them with.  Immediately getting to work with inspecting and organizing the different weapons. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Very good, lay in course at Warp 5.

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  There are changes, Counselor.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Oh?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Aye Sir, moving away from Risa as we speak.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It's a tried and true design, no need to redesign the Warp Coil.

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  They are subtle, but there.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He begins to hasten the walk::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::taps the console and the Cherokee leaves orbit around Risa;:

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: That's good. Just had a rush of memories about the last time we were all here. Feels good to be back.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::The sickbay was somewhat different, some new stuff was there::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: continues his methodical inspection of the new weapon shipment, slowly moving from one crate to the other. ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: I see that everything is in order and also new stuff as well?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Kilbrowski: I assume we have standard search patterns prepared for when we reach the border?

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Oh yeah it does, all of us.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<MO T'mol> CMO: Yes it is I just got all PADD's with re-supply on the Sick bay from Medical teams.
::She gives 7 PADD's to Jovan::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Sir,  a Major Dun asks that when you have a moment, he and his men are waiting for you in the mess hall.  They have been assigned to us for this tour.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> CO: Aye, sir.  Though the boss has put a few non standard patterns thrown into the mix.  Said he didn't want us to get to predictable.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Understood, I'll be with them in just a bit.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::nods to the Captain::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: That is good and I see we have new biobeds included. Something new on them?

CNS_Wells says:
ALL: Aahh, send in the marines.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Any thoughts on whether or not the Tholians will be as active as we've come to expect?

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, this is the CTO.  Oh this is a pretty sight indeed.  The Admiral made sure that we were loaded not just for bear, but for Bajoran Horned Bear.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<MO T'Mol> CMO: I believe that you will find all that is on the one of the PADDs listings.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Cold Vulcan look curtailed his next question::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: There involvement with the Synod is still under investigation but, since we know so little we should expect the worse from them. I don't think they are finished in all of this.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Very good, I look forward to the full report.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: You have the Bridge, I'm going to go see what the marines bring to the table.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Maybe this is better  he thought as he overlooks al changes::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, sir.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the console on the wall and begins to run a foreign materials scan on all of the cargo crates, not wishing to be caught off guard by any surprises. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Obviously, let me know if any problems come up.  ::Exits and heads for the mess hall.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks - Must be good to be the Captain, sometimes::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: I will be on the bridge to report all changes. Sick bay is yours for time being, and thanks
::HE left SB before he could hear answer::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::the XO must still be down with the shuttles.  He seemed anxious about the Sequoia::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> CNS: So how was the vacation sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the Mess hall.::  Marine: I'm looking for Major Dun, where could I find him?

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: I'm expecting to have beach withdrawals in the next few weeks. You should grab the twins and we can go run Zach's beach program sometime.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::TL is near and corridors are empty as a slight voice from far away memory maybe whispered I will see you ....::

CNS_Wells says:
Kilbrowski: It was wonderful. How was yours?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> CO:  Over here Captain.  ::waving to him, then realizes he is a Caitian::

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  We'll see.

CNS_Wells says:
Kilbrowski: You can come to the beach too.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> CNS: I might take you up on that.  Miller was a complete pain in the backside during the entire repair process

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He looks around and all body hair shudder::  Self: Focus my man , focus...

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::tapping her console, she takes the Cherokee to warp 4 as they are leaving the Risan system::

CNS_Wells says:
Kilbrowski: You guys did get some time off from repairs, didn't you?

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: finishes the scan and loads a copy of the manifest for the report due to the captain. :: Cargo Techs: Alright, lets get this stuff loaded and ready for action as soon as possible.  I want this ship ready for combat as soon as possible!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Maj Dun: Major, Captain Ayidee here.  Welcome aboard, although technically I think you were aboard first.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He enters TL and as it goes he becomes restless in his soul and when the doors opened he was happy as a child could only be when he sees other people::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Kilbrowski> CNS: We got some down time, but most of us in Tactical chose to stay close to the ship.  We're rather protective of her.  She got us through the war, least we can do is see her through the repair.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sad to see us leaving Risa:: 

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::In second he forgot where he was and he need it a few long seconds to scrub out that stupid smile on his face and enters to the bridge hoping that he didn't look so stupid with that smile::

CNS_Wells says:
Kilbrowski: I admire your dedication, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He returned to the PADDs and continues to read all new good things that was implanted on the ship::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CO:  You are right there Captain.  We came aboard at Starbase 33.  Here are our orders ::handing him the PADD::  We are to accompany you on all boardings.  Hopefully, it will be just routine, but as you and I both know, there is nothing routine in Starfleet.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks out of the Cargo Hold and begins to make his way to the Security Office. ::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm instituting Drill Schedule Alpha in about 10 minutes.  Best way to shake the cobwebs off is to get back into the thick of it.  Can I have your permission to run the schedule?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> CO:  I would like to meet your CTO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Just a minute on that, can you meet me in the Mess hall first?  Major Dun of the Marine contingent would like to meet you first.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Maj: Everything looks in order, and Commander Hazzard should be down here shortly.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: On my way sir.  :: sighs as he wonders what THESE marines will be like.  Hopefully they won't tear up the mess hall to badly. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Maj: How many men did you bring aboard?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> CO:  As you can see from our orders, we are to answer directly to the CTO.  We have a contingent of 50 men Captain.  We already have our quarters.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Maj: Very good on all points.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CO:  Do you have any intel on the Tholians?

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: enters the TL and makes a quick path to the Ship's Mess, walking briskly through the door and making his way toward both the Captain and Major. :: CO/Major: You requested my presence sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Maj: So far, all we know is that they were supplying the Synod in the war.
CTO: Commander, I'd like you to meet Major Dun.  His marines will be answering to you for the duration of the mission.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CTO:  Larry Dun, commander Hazzard.  I understand we will be working closely with each other.  My men and I are at your command.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj. Dun:  You boys will definitely be earning your keep on board Cherokee, but we're glad to have you.  I'll need to speak with you about incorporating your Marines into our drill routine.  I was going to start my boys off right at the gate, but I see no reason to exclude your men from the fun and games.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> CO:  I know you must be busy Captain.  I think Cmdr. Hazzard and I can make our plans together.  ::agreeing with Hazzard about the drills::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Maj: Very good.
CTO: I'll be on the bridge if you need me.  Just keep me informed of what plans get drawn up.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CTO:  Tell me what you have in mind.  I will gather my men wherever you would like to start.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Yes sir.  Also, the XO wanted you to go over the new revisions to Captain's Prerogative Ruling on Away Team assignments.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I'm sure he does.  But in the last mission, I think the surface was the safest place.  ::Smiles and turns, heading back to the Bridge.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He finds a way to one nice console and activate it as system goes up and console activates he looks at the dark glass, hoping that it will only his image will be there, and the moment of tension runs through his body making him feel like he is standing oh his toes, just to see an empty monitor and flicks of communication flashes as computer shows its touch screen buttons.::

OPS_Nash says:
::she is really glad to have her family in one place, now she can concentrate on her duties.::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> CTO:  What is it like to work for a Caitian?  ::watching the Captain leave;:

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj. Dun: Alright, first off we'll be hitting the Repel Boarder and Intruder Alert drills.  I've got most of the assignments for your men already set up from the last Marine team we had on here.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> ::nods as he listens to the CTO::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj. Dun: Who?  Oh, you mean the Captain.  Major, that man is by far the biggest thing to what a text book Captain should be then what you'll find at the Academy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Returns onto the Bridge.::  OPS: I have the Bridge again.  Anything to report?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CTO:  That good huh?

CNS_Wells says:
::Busy at a console researching the Tholians and any recent activity involving them::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Nothing at this time.  Just getting the feel of being on the ship again.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::he enters data from the PADDs and begins to create an entry from all info gathered::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj. Dun: Definitely that good.  If Caitians  had middle names I'd wager the Cap's middle name was Tiberius.  He's that good.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> ::grins::  CTO:  Then how did you get your nick name?  I understand from some friends you had an unusual one.  ::his eyes gleaming::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and puts his hand over his face. :: *OPS*: Commander Nash, consider that truce null and void.  Just a fair warning.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looks about the Bridge, wondering what we'll find at the border, and what the findings will do to the balance of power in the local system.::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj. Dun: let me guess, you were talking with Lt. Col. Marsten's bunch huh?

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  What are you talking about?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CTO:  How did you guess?  ::trying hard not to laugh::  And who is "Oatmeal"?

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*OPS* Our marines friends just asked me how I got my "callsign".

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  Oh THAT!!!

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj Dun: That would be our OPS officer, Lieutenant Commander Kyleigh Nash.  Oatmeal was what I dumped on her when she decided to spread my nick name all over the ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Doctor, how did you find Sickbay?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::I will stay here passes through his thoughts and he just mentally blocks it with focusing on his job, but body has a way to response on that leaving him feeling like he eat something really good, but it was very small portion, so he does not have enough to take it again::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun> CTO:  So it is true!  How in the world did you get that name?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Than sharp voice broke that::  CO: Oh captain… ::voice shimmers slightly:: good, good... ::He covered it fast::  Few new things.

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  Better tell the truth on how you got your nick name.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Sir, we are at warp 4.  We should be entering Tholian space in 4 hours.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a deep breath and vows that the Nash clan will pay for this. :: *OPS* You hush you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Very good.  Keep us in either Federation Space or neutral space.  No need pushing our luck just yet.

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj Dun: Lets just say that me and her husband go waaaaaay back.  And a certain incident with a rope and a tree at a family picnic has come back to haunt me

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Aye Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Are you all right doctor?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: I find that very good to have extra biobeds in there considering situation.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<MajDun>  CTO:  I see... amazing how one's past comes back to haunt them, isn't it?

CNS_Wells says:
::Hears Kyleigh and Mark bickering:: Self: Yup, we are home and things are getting back to normal, I'd say.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Very good to hear.  Hoping we won't need them.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO; Yeah captain… ::He saw it her voice says but he covered that as well::  just effect of that convention.

OPS_Nash says:
::she hides a chuckle about poor Mark::

CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Maj. Dun:  You have NO idea.
