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

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Kyleigh, put me through to the Captain please.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::In the ready room:: *aXO*: Status.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::In Counselor's Office, ready to start session.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: in sickbay preparing for departure ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: continues to slowly monitor the different stations. :: *CO*: Were awaiting final confirmation on delivery of supplies from Starbase, but otherwise we should be ready to depart at your discretion, Captain.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Checking the progress of Cleanfields and his crew. They worked astonishing hard.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Seated next to CIV, in his office:: CIV: So, I don't know where to begin with you ::Smiles:: You look like you are doing great.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::on the Bridge, at OPS::  COM:  ADM:  Yes, Ma'am.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Smoothes her uniform down, and leaves her quarters heading for the TL::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: checking over supplies and the general working of sickbay :: Self: Not bad, not bad, They at least got everything back together and working right.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Captain, Admiral Alexander on the COM for you.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm not sure where to start myself.  Part of me knows this should be disturbing, but in the long term view, I know it's nothing.  Or nearly so.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  One of the Biobeds in sickbay begins to beep, without a patient on it.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: Confirm all Evals are complete.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*OPS*: Put her through.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Exits the Shuttlebay. Walks over to the TL, enters it and sets course to Seven Forward. Grabbing two water bottles and heads back to the TL.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Doctor, have you finished your evaluations of the crew?  Captain Worthington wants to know if its been completed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Already put through, Sir.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* I'm on my last few now, otherwise yes. I will be done shortly with them.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Well, a lot has happened to you these last few months. You are entitled to react any way you wish. Tell me what's going on with you now.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Adm: What can I do for you Admiral?

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*OPS* Report to sickbay for your annual physical.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Thanks Doc.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::TL swiftly opens it doors at Engineering level and he walks out to Engineering. Entering it and walking over to the CEO.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CMO*:  Doc, you already saw me, you put me on restricted duty.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm trying to get back in the swing of things.  I didn't realize how much things have changed in the last few years, technologically and procedurally speaking.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::The TL arrives and she steps in, asks for deck 15 and rubs her tired eyes:: Self: So much for sleep.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: Counselor, sorry to disturb you, but Captain Worthington wants to know if you've completed your evaluations on the crew yet.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Steps out of the TL when it arrives and makes her way to her office, noticing the FCO waiting for her::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: Liiana, I’ve grabbed some water for you. I know you have worked hard. Please take it. By the way, the shuttle area is clean and functioning. Perhaps you want to exchange your cleaning crew for the crew of Cleanfields?

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Better you than me. There's a reason I became a Counselor, no mechanical aptitude what-so-ever... hang on, sorry.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*OPS* OOPS! My bad Kyleigh, I had you written down as not being done yet. Ignore my request.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Trent, when you are ready, you will have a short period to test the Cherokee.  I have new orders but I want to make sure the Cherokee is safe.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*CEO* Report to sickbay for your evaluation.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: Thanks, I think this is just what I need, might wake me up a bit more.  And, as you can probably see, the clean up down here has actually gone quite well. We are just trying to finish up the last systems checks for now.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Adm: Aye Admiral. We will put her through all the usual rigors.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: In that case I will dismiss Cleanfields. ::Sips from his own bottle of water.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: Oops, that’s me, better go.
*CMO*: On my way.

CNS_Wells says:
*aXO*: Just about, please Commander, unless its an emergency contact my P.A.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: You'd better go indeed. See you later.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: I understand, I'll make sure to do just that.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, with the exception of one or two stragglers, the crew has been probed and shrunk.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: This ship won't move an inch until every Eval is complete. Let me know when that is completed.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Sorry, besides the extra homework, are you settling into your new role on board okay?  I have had a lot of feedback from the crew, they are having adjustment issues too, but they are so glad you are still with us.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Directs her team to finish up checking the Impulse systems before making her way to see the CMO::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: leaves a note on the CNS's PA to inform him the minute all evals are done, hoping to avoid interrupting him again. ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Doc, I've been informed to request you inform the bridge the minute your evals are complete.  Captain's orders.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Walks a bit around in Engineering, looking around.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CIV: I'm getting along all right.  Just leaning a lot more on other officers to help me back to speed.  Other than that, it's a matter of not answering questions meant for others.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* Sure no problem the Captain is the last person I have to do an eval on.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::wonders what their new orders will be::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Walks away, picks a TL.:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Ummm, what questions?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not to sound quaint, but where else was I to go?  This, serving in space,  is the only life I know, and has been for as long as I can remember.  And questions for the Captain mostly, updates and requests for direction.  I have to remind myself they aren't for me.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  I am sending them to your station Trent.  Let the crew know after the trial run. Good luck and God's speed Trent.  Alexander out.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The TL moves up to the bridge and opens doors.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: seems to think for a moment. :: *CMO*: Doc, wasn't the Captain one of the first evals you did?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Walks out of the TL and installs himself behind the flight console.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::arrives at sickbay::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* :: looks down at his PADD:: Mark, impeccable memory. he was! I just didn't have him checked off.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Just making sure.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* Thanks Mark, although it would be funny to see his reaction to have to go through another physical.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Ensign, do me a favor and run the new navigation computer updates through their paces.  I want to be ready to go at a moment's notice.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CEO: HI there Liiana. Please up on the Biobed.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Give it some time. I imagine Trent is having the same troubles, you know, remember who he is.  ::Smiles:: 

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Sits down to run off a test. The test did not function as planned, so the FCO kicked the flight console and a panel falls down.::
aXO: I am already at the job sir.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CMO: Sure. ::hops up on the Biobed and looks at the CMO smiling::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I know, it will all come back in time any how.  Tactical only requires 50% of my attention to recall what I'm doing, Science scans will come as well.  ::Smiles.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CEO: How're you settling into your new ship? :: runs the Tricorder over the new CEO :: We haven't had much time to discuss things.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
Self: Sigh. WHAT IS THAT? ::Gets on his knees and looks inside the console. Memory crystals switched. ::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
::sighs as he watches the FCO Panel fall. :: FCO: You better be able to fix that...and I mean quickly.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::Puts his orders aside as he awaits their departure and his chance to shake things up::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Just a minute for the second part of testing. Sir, someone switched memory crystals in here.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CMO: Quite well I suppose. The furor with the Starbase teams has had us busy in Engineering, but we are on top of it now.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: You are so much more to this ship than the tech stuff, you are and have always been the soul of this ship.  It is as important to the crew as it is for you that you are still here and not anywhere else.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CEO: Tell me about it. They had this place upside down and backwards. I'm basically just getting going now.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Checks the crystals, put them in a good order, exchanges a defective one for a good on, fixes the plate and gets upright again, behind the console. Testing program is running as expected.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::laughs:: CMO: I have had to pull quite a few extra hours to get to the point we are at now, but hopefully it will be smoother sailing for a while.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a seat in the new command chair and puts his hand over his face. :: Self: What else could happen now.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Stay close to the Captain. He will rely on you a lot, I'm sure. 

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: I am happy the panel fell down. The upgrade team made some errors here too. If that had not fallen, we would be lost in space so to speak. It is fixed now and the test are running satisfactory.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I have no plans to go anywhere.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::yawns and rubs her eyes:: CMO: Oh. sorry about that, please pardon me.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Thanks, Ensign.  Proceed with operational diagnostics.  I want everything smoother than a frog's bottom in June for the Captain.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Nods at the aXO.:: aXO: Yes sir.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CEO: So far so good. everything is on the up and up for you. Liiana. Just one more thing. I need  a blood sample to keep on file.

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles:: CIV: You seem good to me. Am I wrong? It's like you have a sense of peace about you. You really are okay with all that's happened, aren't you?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Sees that the first tests are finished and starts the operational diagnostics.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::grimaces:: CMO: No problem just make it quick. Please!

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I did what had to be done, both to stop LoDuca and to protect the integrity of Starfleet.  I regret none of it.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CEO: Make what quick?  Its already done!

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: How's your department handling the new communication upgrades that were slated for updates?

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I know, and we are all very proud of you for being the person you are. Have you been following the FNS? LoDuca's trial proceedings have started.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::opens her eyes she had screwed shut and laughs embarrassedly:: CMO: Well, you certainly have the magic touch there Doctor.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*OPS*: Have all supplies been delivered?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: They have?  That's a good thing, then.  Was afraid one of his "friends" might hide him away.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I'm sure you will follow the case with great interest. It could mean some redemption.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CEO: Yes, yes.  Apparently I do. You're good to go.. :: Looks at his list. I think if I’m seeing things correctly I only have one more to go.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I have tried to...distance myself.  I'm too involved with it to keep it in the background.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The very last crate just arrived and is being unloaded as we speak.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Commander, lets give the Red Alert klaxon a run to be sure everything is running properly.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Hops down off the Biobed and smiles:: CMO: Thanks. ::Leaves Sickbay and makes her way back to Engineering::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Diagnostics are ready. System is ok. But the rudder will be a bit sluggish in the beginnng, but that will be fixed in flight by me, and the self learning systems.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: hits the shipwide intercom on the arm of the Command Chair. :: ALL: Attention all hands, we'll be testing the Red Alert Klaxon shortly.  This is just a drill, disregard the alarm.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I have to confess. I've been helping our friend, Miss Chase. Nothing illegal or anything but, I think some good will come of her work.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
aXO:  Sure thing, You may use my newly assigned Ensign, a Miss Tawny Madison to help you out.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: points to the OPS officer to activate the alarm. ::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: Begin countdown to launch. As soon as the Evaluations are complete we will be heading out.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Puts fingers in his ears.::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I don't think you should deny yourself of seeing LoDuca fall. If you are interested in the outcome maybe you shouldn't fight it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The red alert klaxon sounds, but instead of the normal sound, it plays a Klingon Opera almost deafening the crew.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: cringes and covers his ears ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::covers her ears::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Aye sir. :: sighs as his ears are buffeted with the most horrendous sound imaginable. :: OPS: SHUT IT OFF!

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she does her magic and key strokes and tries to shut off the noise.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: But the day to day details may be too much.  Besides, I'm trying to stay busy here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::yelling over the noise::  aXO:  Ummm, problem, I can't shut it off.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the OPS station and looks over the commands.:: OPS: What do you mean you can't shut it off?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::yelling over the noise::  aXO:  Exactly what I said, I can't shut it off.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: LoDuca is out of my paws, I have to let it go.  I'm not part of the JAG office, after all.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Busy is good. At least now you can afford to do a bit of socializing, something I think you have always wanted to do more but, you know, the whole Captain thing.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: Mr. Hazzard, how much longer am I going to be subject to this?

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Computer: Computer, Disengage the Red Alert Klaxon!

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
Self: What a horror sound is this. Why don't they kick the console? Might help.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Cowers on the floor of the TL with her hands over her ears wondering when this racket will stop::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Then let it go then. If anything major happens I'm sure you will hear about it.

Host Computer says:
aXO:  Unable to comply.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Perhaps a bit.  It's a tough thing to break into a social circle, but even harder when you've been on the outside looking in for so long.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: growls and heads over to the Tactical station, disengaging the Red Alert Function. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I don't think you will have a problem. Any circle on this ship would be glad to have you. But, start slow, the attention and love you get may be a bit overwhelming. 

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::The TL doors open and she hurries to pick herself up off the floor before someone sees her there::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*OPS* :: Over racket :: My son will be coming back aboard.  Can you make sure he safely gets to our quarters?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Red Alert is disconnected.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Takes fingers out of his ears.:: ALL: SIGH!

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: I want to find out who replaced the klaxon with that garbage and I want to find out yesterday!

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CMO*:  No problem, Doc.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: I hope this is over soon. I want to sail this baby out again. Can you imagine that?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: OPS:  Kyleigh. what is going on over there?  My Operations Officer here tells me Red Alert is going off?

Host CO_Worthington says:
::wonders if anyone is going to ever answer him::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: I will, just not sure how long it will take me to get involved.  I've been traditionally slow with that kind of thing in the past.  Partly by choice, partly by circumstance.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
@COM: Adm: We are testing our klaxons, and the RED ALERT sound was sabotaged.  It was replaced with  Klingon Opera.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
aXO:  Working on it.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::gets up and heads onto the bridge:: aXO: Report!

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Well, luckily you got friends that are good at it, start with the senior crew... even Mark. ::Smiles::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: OPS:  Understood... heads are going to roll over here.  Relay that to the Captain for me.  Alexander out.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Thank you, Counselor.  I know they're good people.  Even Commander Hazzard.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, seems as if the Starbase crew left us one last surprise.  The Red Alert Klaxon was replace with I believe the 2346 edition of K'thalth's Stand on Proxima.  I'm having the OPS look into who's responsible now.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Well, I think we are done here. I prescribe drinks in the lounge with friends as soon as things settle down. ::Stands:: I think you are doing remarkable well. For what's happened to you I think you are all the stronger for it.

Host CO_Worthington says:
aXO: I cannot believe this behavior from the Starbase continues. I though we were all on the same side here. 
OPS: I want to hear from the Admiral.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  I told Admiral Alexander about our predicament, she is going to look into the matter on her end as well, and she said and I quote, 'heads are gonna roll for this'.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Understood. Keep me posted.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Okay, Commander, back to work. I got one more to go.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Will do.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Makes her way back to her office, ignoring the stares::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Very good.  I'll see you soon.  ::Stands up.::  Have a good day.  ::Leaves the office.::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Bye. 

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: moves back to the XO station and checks to make sure the ship is ready to leave as soon as possible. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches him go and takes a deep breath:: 

Host CO_Worthington says:
aXO: I want out of here and quick. 
FCO: Prepare ship for departure. Once we have the all clear, detach umbilicals. ::sits in his center chair::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: FCO systems are green. I will start to prepare for departure.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Heads to the Bridge.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*CNS* Gary, you're my last eval, you wanna just come up here and we can both do one on each other and get it over with.?

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Sir, this is Counselor Wells, I've got one last evaluation to go. That would be yours, Sir.  When you have the time?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A COM is heard from the Admiral address to Starbase personnel.  ATTENTION:  Any crew that was working on the Cherokee refit will report immediately to Commander Montegue.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Straitens his uniform, looks if his hair is in the right position and prepares the flight console.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: We can't do that quick enough for my tastes, sir.  :: sends notices for all departments to make due haste in preparation for departure. ::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: I am ready sir.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Thank you, Ensign.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and takes position at Science 2.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CNS*: I will clear a spot for you this week.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looks around. Pretty much excited.::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: I am ready to leave.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* Evaluations are done, I'm still finding a few small things not right with sickbay.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM: SB33OPS:  USS Cherokee requesting permission to depart.  Please disconnect the umblicals.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: This week? Sir, You said you wanted all evals done before we left. I'd like to follow my orders.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO/ aXO: Running checks on the Science and Tactical Sensors once we're underway.  I'll run them from Science 2 to allow the primary stations to be free if needed.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: OPS:  We are turning power over to you Cherokee and releasing the docking clamps.  Safe journey Cherokee.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Thank you Doc.  I'll have the CEO check the equipment foul ups.  We can at least count on her to do a proper repair job.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Can you signal the Starbase that I am ready to fire the thr.... ::Stops talking as he hears OPS talk to the station.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CNS*: Right you are Counselor. I am on my way. aXO: You have the bridge. ::enters the TL and heads for the CNS's office::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Medical Department reports all evaluations are completed.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* Its not the equipment I'm worried about. I'm missing some of my standard issue drugs.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM: SB33OPS:  Thank you and Have A Superb Day.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I have the bridge, Aye, Captain.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Umbilicals are disconnected, you may proceed now.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sighs with relief:: Self: Score one for the Counselor. 

Host CO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL and presses the door chime::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Firing the side thrusters, to get away from the docking clamps.:: OPS: Yes ma’am. ::Big smile::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Report all missing pharmaceuticals and have the list sent to both my office and Admiral Alexander's office.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The Cherokee moves slowly away from the docking clamps and shakes a bit.:: OPS: Sorry sir. This is part of the self learning effect.

CNS_Wells says:
::Straightens out his already straightened out office::
CO: Come in.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Hitting the rear thrusters and the Cherokee moves slowly forward. Out of the big bay doors.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
aXO: Accessing Starbase Computers to compare their readings with ours to confirm proper calibration.  Running checks on spatial distance, thermal, radiological, and graviton, and then I'll do spectral analysis checks, just to cover the majors.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::enters the office:: CNS: Ok, let's make this quick. Where do you want me at?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: We are out.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CIV: Excellent idea.  lets make sure all the bright shiny toys work before we take them out of the toy box.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* You got it. :: starts going through the cabinets and lockers to check on missing pharmaceuticals ::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Compares Cherokee sensor readings to compare with Starbase readings.::  aXO: So far so good, spatial checks well within accepted parameters.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Stand by on thrusters, Ensign.  Captain wants us ready to go, but hasn't ordered departure as of yet.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Flips wings as fighter pilots do, to greet others. In order to say  hello space here we are.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Please, Sir. Sit down, I know your busy. I just thought we would have a preliminary talk, for the sake of my files then later when things settle a bit we can talk more, if that is agreeable to you. 

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: All Stop.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*AXO* Report is at your station. A whole whack of stuff is missing.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Stops engines pretty abruptly.::
aXO: All stop sir.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::has a seat:: CNS: Sounds reasonable.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: A lot has happened to you lately. How are you holding up?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: All flight console systems green sir.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Get us clear of incoming traffic and in a holding pattern, Ensign.  No reason for us to hold up incoming traffic.  But take NO further action.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: It has been very stressful, but all things considered I am doing well. Glad to have LoDuca finally out of my life.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Yes sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starbase 33 OPS> @COM: OPS:  This SB33OPS.  Are there any problems Cherokee?  You are blocking the space doors.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Lt Dawn Tiernan>  *CMO*:  Lt. Tiernan here, I have a shipment of medicines in the Main Shuttlebay.  I will have someone deliver them to Sickbay.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Let them know we are getting out of the way as soon as possible.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, he is in lock up on Earth. Anyway, It would be normal to feel overwhelmed. With you, I think it will help you. You do well under pressure.  

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Thrusters are fired ones again. Slowly the Cherokee moves away from the entrance. Moving to a spot further away so this ship will not interfere in other ships traffic.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: I like to think so. Now, I just have to get my crew ready and in shape. We have been sitting idle for too long.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
aXO: We are out of the danger zone, so to speak.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM: SB33OPS:  We will be under way momentarily.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Slows the thrusters down.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::looks out the window and sees the stars moving:: CNS: Excuse me. *aXO*: Mr. Hazzard, why are we under way?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Agreed. I'll be glad to not see Starbase 33 for awhile. I've been stuck here all week. How are preparations progressing?  ::Shuts up::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*Lt. Tiernan* Great. please do.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<SB33OPS> @COM: OPS:  Well, you might want to check your tail pipes, they are just inside the doors. ::laughing can be heard::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Lt Dawn Tiernan> Ens Madison:  Please deliver this shipment to Sickbay.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*:  We are positioning ourselves outside the Dry dock to free up the docking space on Starbase 33.  Were holding stationary out of traffic lanes until you give the order to depart, sir.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Taking a slow holding pattern outside the station.:: aXO: The Cherokee is placed on a holding spot.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM: SB33OPS:  Will do.  Glad you all see the lighter side of this.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: Is there a problem with the Starbase? Why was I not notified?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Ens. Madison>  Tiernan:  How do I get there?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Lt Dawn Tiernan> Ens Madison:  Just ask the computer and follow its instructions.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and looks down at his feet as he knows he's going to regret answering. ::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: I believe I am sensing a burning sensation in my forehead.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Ens. Madison>  ::she does as asked and delivers the medicines to Sickbay.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I understand, Sir. ::Smiles::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Continues calibration of sensors, looking to ensure we are ready when orders come down the line.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: receives the shipment and double checks it :: *AXO* Mark I have everything that was missing.  I want heads to roll, most of those drugs are extremely dangerous unless given properly.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: I hate this freaking Starbase, they won’t even let us leave on our own.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: The FCO jumped the gun and proceeded to engage maneuvering thrusters, I didn't catch it in time and decided instead of blocking the Starbase entrance to move the ship outside of traffic lanes and wait for you to get back on the bridge before engaging the engines.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looks around. Looks at the aXO. Raises an eyebrow.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, it seems we aren't the Starbase crews favorite ship these days.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: Hold current position, I am returning to the bridge. CNS: Counselor, I am very sorry. Can we finish this up later?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looks at OPS.:: OPS: Trouble ahead?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Watches the Master Situation Display and the repeater displays in her office, checking over and over again that everything is functioning correctly::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Unknown.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Of course, Sir. ::Stands:: I'll be up to the bridge soon.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Holding current position as instructed. :: looks over to the FCO and shakes his head.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: When he gets here, hold your tongue unless he asks.  I'll take the heat on this.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::heads for the bridge, walking very briskly::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Pulls up shoulders. Looks at the aXO and Nods only.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: tries to keep his voice and demeanor calm as he awaits the CO's arrival. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks to the security office and stands outside, and she hears Sam ream all the refit crews::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looks at the ceiling.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sits and takes another deep breath:: Self: Done! That was quite the psyche marathon, one week, one zillion brains.  ::Opens a file on console and puts in some notes::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Captain enters the bridge.  Thunders storms have looked better than the look on his face.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::bites her fingernails nervously:: Self: I can't believe it. Soon, my first cruise as CEO. ::Keeps checking everything over and over as her nerves chew at her insides::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::exits onto the bridge:: aXO: Yellow Alert! OPS: Clear for departure. FCO: Take us to Warp 6, direct heading!

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Yellow Alert, Aye.

Host Adm-Alexander  (Yellow Alert.wav)

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: finishes in sickbay and decides to head for the bridge :: Leaves one of the other doctors in charge ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  We were already cleared for departure.  Do you need me to ask again?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Eyes move from the ceiling to the console in a split second. Thrusters fired, The ship is moving away from the station.:: CO: Yes sir, Warp Six.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: No Commander.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::nods::

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Put me on shipwide.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: arrives on the bridge after a short trip and stands at the back of the bridge ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee leaves Starbase 33 at warp 6.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.   ::puts the CO on Shipwide::

CNS_Wells says:
::Once finished, closes files, checks his hair in a mirror then, desperately needing to get out of this room, heads for the bridge and a change of scenery::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::As the ship moves away from the station the thrusters are fired at maximum and the warp engines are fired.::

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: waits to hear what the CO has to say ::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Checks sensor input at Warp, noting a slight drop in Graviton Sensor efficiency as we enter Warp.  Adjusts to compensate.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*All*: This is the Captain speaking. I know we have all been through a lot lately but now we are back on duty. We need to work together to survive out here. Hesitation and miscommunication could kill us all.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
:: The warp engines heat up and pick up the speed. Warp 1, thrusters offline, speeding up to Warp 2, Warp 3.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Listens to the Captain's address as he walks the corridor::

Host CO_Worthington says:
I expect nothing but the best for this crew. There will be no more excuses, from here on out every man is accountable.

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods silently at the CO's words.::
FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Warp 4, Warp 5.  Ship shakes a bit, but that is corrected by the self learning flight console system. Warp 6.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters Turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::listens as the Captain speaks::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*ALL*: We will be the crew of the best ship in the fleet but we will have to work at it. No moment is a bad time to be prepared. Right now we are heading into the unknown, we could be up against anything. Are you ready? Ask yourself, are you ready to put all of our lives on the line?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Turns his head around, nodding to the Captain, sticking up 6 fingers, meaning we have warp six.::

Host aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods at the FCO to silently acknowledge his report. :;

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
::wonders what the captain is alluding to ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Listens to the Captain, as she heads out into main engineering joining the duty engineer at their console::

CNS_Wells says:
::Exits Turbolift onto bridge. Stands outside Turbolift doors listening as the Captain speaks::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*ALL*: This crew will be ready, no matter how long it takes. One final note, I have settled on our new First Officer. I trust he will be ready to make the decisions that effect all of our lives.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Turns forward again. Running a diagnostic.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*ALL*: Commander Hazzard, you will please release your latest duty roster with Hazzard, Mark in the XO slot. Congratulations. That is all.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: smiles :: Self: I knew he'd get it..
