CIV_Ayidee says:
::In Ready Room, trying to not notice how many things are still there, it seems longer than it really has been since he was last here.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::In the Ready Room with the rest of the Senior Staff:: ALL: All here?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::changing her mind, she boards the Cherokee again::  *aXO*:  Commander Hazzard, can you have one of your security folks meet me at the docking door.  I am going to cruise the ship for a while.

CNS_Wells says:
::In the Captain's Ready Room.  Newly appointed Captain Trent Worthington III has called his first Senior Staff meeting::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: tapping the shipwide intercom one last time before heading to the Ready Room. :: Shipwide:  All Department Heads, Meeting with the Captain Worthington in five minutes.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Enter.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*Adm*: I'll Have Lieutenant Miller meet you there immediately.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CMO: Enter.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Miller* : Miller, meet the Admiral at the docking port, STAT.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::enters and walks in::  CO:  Would have been here sooner but something personal urgently came up.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> *aXO* On my way, chief.

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches as the room begins to fill up::

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Have a seat, please.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: makes his way to the Ready Room after assigning one of the other Command Qualified officers to take the com. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sits down and gets as comfortable as possible::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Ran out of the TL, and walked into the Ready Room.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: walks into the ready room and smiles at the new CO ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> ::quickly makes his way to the Admirals location, showing up slightly out of breath.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Feels like he has just started grade school after returning from summer vacation.  Look, even a new teacher. Watches the CO enter::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Nods to all and takes a seat.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::arrives at the ready room and follows the FCO in::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  I would like for you to walk with me.  I want to make sure the messes left by station personnel are being cleaned up properly.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: exits the TL and quickly strides toward the RR.  Taking a PADD with him with several notes for the meeting. ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Yes Ma'am, shall I have sickbay prepare Body Bags for any offending officers on call?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  Most definitely!  ::begins to laugh::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: enters the RR and nods to the CO. :: CO: Rameriez from Sci Department has the Conn.  He just got his qualifications so I figured he could use some Real Time experience.

Host CO_Worthington says:
aXO: Thanks. Please take a seat.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looking in his pocket and picking a PADD out of there. On this PADD is the latest findings on the cleanup, including the emergency placing of the mobile shields in the brig. The PADD is handed to the CO.:: CO: Sir, these are my latest updates.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::taking Miller's arm, they begin to stop at each department, checking the areas to see the situation::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
::takes a seat by the CO and waits for the CO to proceed. ::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: sits down after a moment of standing ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Better be careful ma'am.  The other officer's might think I'm horning in on Cmdr. Hazzard's intentions. :: can't help but grin.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  Why Mr. Miller, why would they think that?  Don't tell me that little mission we had is still being talked about?  ::grinning up at him::

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks over at CIV, notices he seems to be breathing a bit easier these days and the thought makes him smile to himself::

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Ok, are we all here and ready?

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Well, I'm not one to spread Ship's gossip.  Kilbrowski is in charge of that.  I just handle rumor generation.  Its an efficient system.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye Captain, ready to begin.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  I'm ready.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::laughing heartily, they continue their tour::

CNS_Wells says:
:: Gives CO his attention::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Ready sir.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: ready to go.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Here and ready.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods silently, giving the CO his full attention. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking into waste management, of all the places she expects to see filth, it is clean as a whistle::  Lt. Miller:  Now this is more like it.  Think I should bring the station's department heads in here to see what clean is?

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: I called this meeting so that we can go over ship's business. First off, I want to say thanks to Commander Hazzard for filling in at the XO spot. I appreciate the leadership that you have shown and will take that under consideration. Now, First I want to go over what is staying the same.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt Miller> Adm: Only if you want to see Kilbrowski murder them.  You should have seen the fit he had when he saw what they did to the Port Torpedo tube.  Needless to say, he was, emphatic about their need to fix that situation promptly.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: smiles briefly at the CO's words. :: CO: Just trying to live up under the last XO's expectations, sir.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: I am very please with our Flight Control and Engineering departments. I really just need those two departments to become completely intertwined. I want to know what is the status of Engineering at all times.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  I cannot understand what was in their minds and why they felt the necessity of trashing the Cherokee.  Needless to say, there are some stiff punishments being handed out as we speak.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks over to the CEO and then FCO then back to CO::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::nods:: CO: Of course sir

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Commander Ayidee will be a tremendous asset to us all. I have not decided where we will use at but I hope to use your experience for the best spots available.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Nods understanding.:: CO: Aye aye sir.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Well, we could always just lock them in a Holodeck with Commander Hazzard.  You should have SEEN his face when he did a walkthrough yesterday.  I saw him tear the Work Supervisor several new ones over that.  Never have I seen him more worked up.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: raises his hand to get the CO's attention. ::

Host CO_Worthington says:
aXO: Yes Commander.

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles at Commander Ayidee, happy to still have him with us, in any capacity::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods::  Lt. Miller:  Well, it will never happen again, or there will be a few less people in Starfleet.  I am sorely disappointed in their behaviors.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: In regards to Commander Ayidee, I'd like to recommend that he fill in for CTO till such time as we get a permanent XO to fill in for you sir.  His experience in the Tactical Department would be invaluable.  Not to mention the men trust him and would pretty much go the distance for him any day of the week.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::moving to the TL, they move up one deck and continue with the inspection::

Host CO_Worthington says:
aXO: Duly noted, use him in whatever shift assignments you feel best until I make a permanent decision.

CNS_Wells says:
::Smile completely disappears now::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins and gives a smile to the CIV. :: CIV: Looks like you've been drafted, Ca...Tio.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Raises eyebrows.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  aXO: But for the record, there is no draft at present time.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Commander Nash and her department are the backbone of this whole ship. I am more than pleased with you Commander and I hope that your department will continue to operate at a high level of efficiency.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: can't help but shake his head and grin. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Thank you Captain.

CNS_Wells says:
::Gives his attention back to where it should be::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looking to everybody, face by face by face. Everybody else has a different expression on their face.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::stops at a Replicator and orders juice::  Lt. Miller:  Would you like something to drink? ::turning to look at him, waiting for a reply::

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: This is the finest crew in the entire Starfleet bar none. However I will do everything in my power to make this crew the best that it can be. I am not a big speech guy, I like to let my actions do the talking. But I will tell you now I expect nothing but the best from all of you.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Why Admiral, are you trying to get me to drink while on duty.  I'd think you were trying to take advantage of me.  :: grins and shakes his head. ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::leans back in her chair nodding::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Nods.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Now, before I continue I would like to open things up for any questions or suggestions you may have.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  I knew there was a reason I like you.  Your sense of humor is timeless!  Now, coffee or water?

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods his head. :: CO: If you don't mind...I have a few issues to bring up concerning the ship prep list.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Oh coffee, please.  Sickbay has my blood type listed as Dark Roast, I drink that much of it.

Host CO_Worthington says:
aXO: Proceed.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes out the PADD he carried with him and clears his throat. :: CEO: First topic is Engineering.  Ensign Pasco, How far have we come on the Warp Engine Recalibration we had scheduled?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grins and orders a dark roast for him.  Taking the mug, she hands it to him, while she starts to sip her juice::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
Self: I am next, I bet.

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches aXO as he moves about. Listens to his words and tones::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
aXO: It's all coming along well sir, we are 80% done. Unfortunately this cleanup has interfered with our schedule somewhat, but we should have it completed shortly.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> ::takes a sip of the black coffee and grins. :: Adm: Any word from the Refit team about the new Pod refits they have planned.  I know they hate doing New Orleans Class ships.  I heard they decommissioned the Iroquois a few weeks ago.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::feeling a bit uncomfortable in her seat, she shifts slightly.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins and nods. :: CEO: Outstanding.  Keep on top of those Starbase teams.  I'd like us to be at 100 percent a few days ahead of schedule.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Flight Control, Ensign Zdunovski.  I see here that you've requested a rapid refit of the Anti-grav recovery system on Shuttlebay Two.  Any word on the status of that work?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  If there is any delay with them, let me know immediately.  I think I have put the fear of God in them if I hear of any other delays.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::nods and smiles::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees OPS shifting in her seat and can't help but be brightened by her spirit::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: No, not yet But I have been much around in the lower decks of the ship, checking all. ::Pointing towards the PADD he dropped on the table before.:: aXO: I have written all in there, including that I placed mobile shields in the brig, as all is offline there. But I will see to it.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods at the FCO's report. :: FCO: Keep me apprised of the progress on that project, Ensign.  And good on the spot thinking for the brig issue.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Any questions from anyone else before we proceed?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Yes sir.  ::Big smile.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Sorry sir.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks a bit sheepish about taking over the meeting like this.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: None from me sir.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: If no questions then I will finish this meeting by saying that we are going to be the explorers we are out here to be. With LoDuca gone we will now return to our original mission. I hope to count on all of you for your best.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: If I may speak freely sir?

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Yes Ensign?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Sir, I am an FCO, as you have noticed before. And I am pretty good at shuttles too.  Moment, lost my text.  Well, here it is.  We have a lot... ::sigh:: shuttles but not something special.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Where are you going with this Ensign?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I am thinking about converting a shuttle into a diplomatic shuttle. Something really special, captains yacht or something like that.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I think we can do that in our spare time. I think... me, the CEO, and OPS and perhaps others can lend a hand or two.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Interesting thought, perhaps you could come up with a full proposal for me?

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles and nods in approval of the FCO's idea::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I've always wanted to put some racing stripes on one of them, something flashy. :: grins mischievously ::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The words are out. The words he was brooding on for so long, but will the staff grab it?::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::looks at the FCO as he speaks, smiling as she fully expected one of his interesting ideas::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Yes sir.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: If nothing else, meeting adjourned. If the CNS and CMO would stay with me for a moment.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: Yes Sir.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I am not really sure what it can be, but I am sure, I am completely ear to your wishes.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Of course. ::Remains behind::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Stands up.::  CO: Very good Captain.  ::Departs the Ready Room.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: I look forward to seeing your proposal.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stands up and picks up his PADD. Heading to the door and grinning at the thought of adding his own personal touches to one of the shuttles. ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: Commander Ayidee.  Bend your ear for a minute?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Stands up, walks out and nods as he passed the captain.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::nods as she slowly gets up from her seat, and she heads out of the Ready Room::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks up to catch up to him. ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Yes sir. ::Stands and heads to the door, looking for the FCO::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::While going out:: OPS: Do you have a minute for me?

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: Certainly Commander, what can I do for you?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  One moment, I still need to put in the requisition for the New Captain’s Chair.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Catches up to the FCO::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CMO/CNS: I won't keep you two very long. Before we leave the Starbase I would like to have physicals and psych evals completed, I know it is short notice but I want a clean bill of health before we leave.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Yes. Signal me, when you have the minute for me.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: Honestly, the reason I'm asking for you help is mostly because I'm not able to do both jobs I've been given.  Running the Tactical Department along with all the requirements of serving as Exec.  I'm feeling a bit torn and I really need someone I can trust to help me keep on top of things.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir. I will start work on them as soon as sickbay is put back together.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: Interesting idea you have there, and one I would certainly be interested in being a part of.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Aye, Sir. We'll get right on it.

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: Certainly, I can lend a hand at Tactical where needed.  Just let me know if you need anything special done.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: Ensign, yes, that is why I more or the less asked the captain. I think this will be a pretty heavy thing to do. It is time consuming. It could cost us months of work and all of our spare time.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO: Will do.  ::she returns to her post and formally requests the new Captain's chair, She just asked for a standard red Starfleet color chair, and she sends the request to the powers that be.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CMO: Doc, I am taking you up on your offer. I want you to be my "conscience" so to speak. I would like you to spend as much time on the bridge as possible. You are a great asset and I just wanted you to know that I considered you for the XO spot but I did not want to take you out off your current spot.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::taps her COM badge as she receives a message from the base::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: And to be honest, I could not do the job without your knowledge.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: Understood. I would be honored to be your right hand.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: Thank you Tio.  Your duty rotation is up now.  Right?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  When you got time, I'll be here.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CMO: Thank you Doc. Please get started on your evals as soon as you can. You are dismissed.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: Understood.  :: gets up and leaves to go to sickbay ::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Ah ok, I have time now.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: And allow me to take this time to personally congratulate you. The Admiral made a good decision, in you.  As always you have my full support, Sir.  ::Gets up to go::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Counselor, where do I start?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Walking over to his station.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: starts thinking about who to call first for their evaluation ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO: All right, what's on your mind?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: Yes, it seems like it could be quite an undertaking, but I like a challenge, and I like to keep busy. If you need a hand with the full proposal, just let me know.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Please have a seat.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Oh, you want me to stay?  ::Sits::

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: No sir, just started an hour ago or so.  Even assuming the Captain wants me to keep the 3 hours on, 3 off schedule, I've still got work to do.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Lt. Miller:  I have to return to the base.  Please continue the tour and report the rest of our findings to Commander Hazzard.  Some areas still need attention.  ::nodding to him, she leaves for the Starbase::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> Adm: Aye Ma'am.  I'll let him know to send the casualties directly to you.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Yes I do. Counselor, I am going to ask a lot out of you. I know you are the best man for the job.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Well, you know, I have a room at deck 16? I have a roommate who hates plants, to say it softly. Could you find me and my plants a better room?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::turning to look at him, she just grins and shakes her head::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Anything.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: Thanks I will take that greatly.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  I'll see what I can do, it'll take some time.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: What do you think of Commander Hazzard?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Whoa! That's a loaded question.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and calls the TL. :: CIV: Ah.  Alright.  Well there will be time for us to catch up. :: quickly taps a series of buttons on his PADD and hums. ::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: I know, I know. Give me your medical opinion.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I guess it would depend on which part of me you are asking.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Thank you for your time. And can I count on you for the special shuttle?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: As a friend I'd say he's a fine fellow.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she looks at the quarter assignments, then back to the FCO::  FCO:  You are aware that you have your own quarters as being head of Flight Operations, aren’t you?

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: Do you have something more pressing?  I'm more working on getting into a work schedule, so if you have something more pressing I can do that.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: As his counselor, I'd say he was a competent CTO, a fine officer and loyal to the Federation and to his crew.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
:: Smiles as she turns from the FCO and heads off to find out what those Starbase creatures are up to in her engineering department::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: How do you feel he responds to pressure?

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* I've been ordered to start with Physical evaluations and I can't think of any spot better to start than at the top. Report to sickbay.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: nothing at all, although I do want to set up a meeting with Miller and Kilbrowski about your assistance with the Tactical Department.  Knowing those two, they would love to see what kind of ..:: sighs as he gets the CMO's com. ::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Ma'am, I did not know that, but if that is possible, I would be the last to turn that room down.

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: Understood, I'll make sure to set time aside for a meeting with you all.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: Man, I was wondering when he'd be getting around to that.  Can you do me a favor and keep an eye on Rameriez on the bridge.  I know were in dock status but this is his first shift on the Conn.  He could use some supervision.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: arrives in sickbay and prepares for the evaluations, prepping a PADD for the AXO::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Self: They better be well on track or heads will roll.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: However, he does give me cause for concerns in other areas. Pressure is one of them.  He tends to act on impulses, he can be reckless and when mixed with his lack of certain social skills, he sometimes appears muddled and confused in times of stress.  He lacks confidence.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: I'm on my way, Doc.  Can you make sure that you WARM those utensils?  I don't feel like getting hypothermia today.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Ensign, it is my pleasure to hand you this new living space.  ::she downloads the news assignment to a PADD::  FCO:  Here you go.  Twice the space and beyond comfort.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* Don't worry. 24th century technology today.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and heads over to Sickbay. :: Self: I have a bad feeling about this.

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: Very good, I can spend some time checking on the Tactical controls and getting myself familiar with them again.  It has been awhile since I used them.  ::Moves to the Tactical console.::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Whooohooo, thanks.  On what deck is it? Wow, great.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Are you asking my this because you are considering him for the Executive Officer spot?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Just down the corridor, around the corner from me and my family.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Taking the pad over from LtCmdr Nash.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: I have made a few decisions lately but there is one that I am having a hard time with. I am seeking outside assistance, however and will possibly bring several officers on board for a look at. I need two things from you. I need a Psych eval for him and for the other candidates.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: slowly enters Sickbay with a bit of apprehension. :: CMO: Doc, you in here?

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: Right here Mr. Hazzard

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Okay.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the CMO and grins. :: CMO: Okay doc, lets get this over with before I regain my senses and have the bridge call me for, umm, something important.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: .... and second?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Do I read that right, deck 8?

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: I have just one last piece of business. I would like to offer the Second Officer spot to you. Now, if you need some time to think it over, go ahead.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: points to the Biobed :: aXO: Up on there, please.

CIV_Ayidee says:
Self: Looks the same, just need to run a few drills to make sure I know them with my eyes closed.  ::Reviews the layout, making sure everything is where it's supposed to be.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  That's right! Welcome to Luxury Lane, Ensign.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: We are moving forward here, no going back.

CNS_Wells says:
::Jaw drops:: CO: Whoa! Ummm okay, I never saw myself in a command gig. Yeah, can I think on this one?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: I am off to pack my things, and check on Shuttlebay 2. For the Anti-graviton recovery.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Take your time. It is a big decision and will mean a lot more responsibilities. But I need someone I can trust who can help keep us all on an even keel.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  All right. Catch you later.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Arrives in engineering to find it somewhat cleaner, but the clean up team sitting about eating. Again::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Ok, just let me know. Dismissed.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Puts in a request for an hour on the Holodeck after this shift.  Nothing better to get back into the swing of things than a Holodeck simulation.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: How have you been handling the stress of being an acting XO?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Feels her face flush red and her fists clench as she takes a deep breath::

CNS_Wells says:
::Turns:: CO: Oh, I was going to ask you to see me a few times. A lot’s happened recently, I thought maybe you'd like to talk? ::Walking towards the door::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*Adm*: Admiral, this is Captain Worthington. May I have a moment of your time?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The TL moves to deck 17. The FCO exits it, and walks into the cargo bay. Looking for a cargo-moving utility. Goes with this tool to his quarters, empties all and places it in the cargo-mover. Walks into the TL again.:: TL: Deck 8.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: Feels like every crewmember has me on speed-com.  I don't know how Captain Worthington did this on a normal basis.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  All right.  Have OPS beam you directly to my office.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: I Know what you mean. When I was an XO I had the same issue. Seems they had me on speed dial and I didn't really have any time to myself.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: a small beep comes from the PADD he was carrying and he grins. Tapping a few buttons on it and humming a bit more pleasantly. ::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*OPS*: Can you beam me directly to the Admiral's office?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::beams him to the Admiral's office on the station.::

@::materializes in the Admiral's office:: Adm: Well, thanks for the rapid response.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Lt Gomez: What the heck is going on here?! This is meant to be clean up and here you are in MY engineering department making MORE mess!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@CO:  You know I am always available for my crew Trent.  What can I do for you?

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters the bridge and goes to sit down::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: winces a bit and looks over :: CMO: Jeez Doc.  that stings like the dickens!!

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: I Told you it may hurt Commander. quit being a baby!

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Paces back and forth resisting the urge to kick something. Or someone::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Gomez> CEO: Hey.  Just because you had your XO whine to the Admiral doesn't mean my boys don't need a break.  Jeez, don't flip your wig.  :: chuckles ::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Moved all things into his new quarters. Looked around and smiled. Brought the cargo-mover to the Cargo Bay  and went to Shuttlebay 2.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
@Adm: With your permission, I would like to bring several of my First Officer finalists over for a look see and some evals. I know this is highly unorthodox but I need to see people in action.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: I'm not.  That was a manly snort.  I wasn't crying.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Reviews the positions of the Security teams, seeing how they deploy on duty during "low priority" time.  Pretty good placement, not that I expected otherwise.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@CO:  Whatever makes you feel secure Trent.  I would like to see your selections when they become available.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Lt Gomez: I'll give you a break! Several if you don't get off your backsides and get this cleaned up now! This is NOT acceptable!

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: Yeah sure. Okay you're done See now when you're nice to me I'm nice to you and don’t bring out the artifacts of medical history.

CNS_Wells says:
::In deep thought but, snaps back to reality:: Self: Enough of that.  ::Sends a memo to his P.A. to start complete psyche eval procedures::

Host CO_Worthington says:
@Adm: I just wanted you to know that I am close to making my final decisions on Command Crew. I have offered the Second Officer spot to CNS Wells.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@CO:  I think that is an excellent choice Trent.  He seems to have a stabilizing effect on the crew, and from what I hear, everyone seems to like him.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: puts his shirt back on and looks at the CMO. :: CMO: Doc.   You know that honestly, you've got the time in service and the rank.  You COULD step in as XO.

CNS_Wells says:
All on bridge: Everybody is getting a psyche evaluation, Captain's orders so no complaining.  Avoid the rush book your appointment early. 

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looks inside the Shuttlebay.:: Self: Hmm clean. And now the Anti Graviton recovery. I see some work is done.. but this?

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: I Know I could. and I'd take that up in a second again. but for now Trent wants me as his right hand man without having the responsibility.

CNS_Wells says:
::Heads to Turbo lift::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: If that's his decision.  I just want to make sure the right man gets that job.

Host CO_Worthington says:
@Adm: I need an XO I can count on in crunch time and I will make the right decision. Once I have made the arrangements with their CO's, I will send you the list of candidates.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: gets up off of the Biobed as he smoothes his uniform. ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Starts kicking rubbish around before realizing what she is doing and storming out of engineering to calm down a bit:: Lt Gomez: I'll be back!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@::nods::  CO:  I expect nothing less.  One small question, is Tio doing all right?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
*Crewman Clearfield*: Clearfield, Shuttlebay 2 is clear, but what about my anti Graviton recovery system? It is half finished.

Host CO_Worthington says:
@Adm: It is difficult to say, he seems to be his same old self but I know it must be rough for him.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and looks toward the bulkhead. :: CMO: Doc, answer me honestly.  Would you honestly feel comfortable with me taking the job?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@CO:  Well, I know he can handle most situations, however, I will not tolerate anyone being rude to him.  I want to know if you hear anything of that nature.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Self: Ok Liiana, calm down. You catch more, um, something with honey than, oh whatever. ::takes a deep breath::

Host CO_Worthington says:
@::rises:: Adm: Will do, thank you Admiral. *OPS*: One to transport to the Cherokee.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
AXO: From a tactical standpoint yes I would be comfortable with you, but from a medical standpoint no. You're too much of a hot head, You go off at a moments notice and an XO can't do that.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
<Crewman Clearfield> *FCO*: Yes sir, but, but I had to clean, and there was no time to finish that job. I will get that done myself sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::beams him back to the Cherokee.::
