Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 10810.19 :  Preparations are still being made in anticipation of Ambassador Merlot's arrival, and I now await to hear from my senior staff on their progress with not only our guest's arrival, but of the incident concerning his quarters and the ...twins.

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

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Making my way to the Ready Room after leaving Sickbay, hoping the preparation problems are behind us.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs as he leans back in his chair and wonders just who they actually look for when they recruit for the Safety and Training Protocols Directorate, as the man he just spoke to on the Comm could be listed as a living anesthetic. ::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::walking to the Ready Room, hoping for the best at times like this.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Replicator:  Coffee, hot. Light and Sweet.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
::bringing new medical staff to sickbay on the Cherokee::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Turbolift, crossing to the Ready Room.::  OOD: You still have the Bridge.  ::Hits the chime.::

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  This is where you will be spending the majority of your time on this ship.  If you will follow me… ::looking at the 5 new people assigned to the staff::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the Replicator to fetch his cup as he stretches, taking a moment to survey the room he's in.  Still a bit nervous about being in here. ::  XO: Door's Open.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sees the XO enter the ready room and follows him in.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Enters the room.::  CO: Thank you Captain.  Just want to bring you up to speed on the incident in the VIP quarters.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  As you can see, it is just like the replicas I have shown you on the base.  Let's begin our tour shall we? ::looking at the expectant new faces, just graduated from SF Medical::

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  This is the way to the Biobed facility.  As you can see, they have the latest updates to them, with new scanners in place.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: groans and shakes his head. :: XO: I just got done speaking with Representative Gordon.  Tell me we won't have to worry about those two doing this again any time soon.  I would rather chew my own arm off than talk to that drone again.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Further along this way are the beds where patients are quarantined if necessary.  ::pointing::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: Can't say for certain, but they are going to be given special attention to try and determine how those kind of mistakes happen.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: gestures to the seats in front of his desk as he sits down behind it, taking a sip from his coffee. :: XO/OPS: Alright.  Have a seat and tell me what you can about the details.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  A level ten force field can also be put into place using your own code that will be given to you by OPS Nash.  She will also be the one to assign you to your new quarters.  Each of you will have your own quarters and not have to share. ::sees the grins on their faces::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sits down, still a little bit upset over the matter.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Takes a seat.::  CO: It seems that they are a bit careless, obviously.  However, Counselor Wells wishes to see if there are any underlying causes, outside of mere incompetence.  Perhaps a psychological or physiological issue, so they will be given full Medical and Psychiatric examinations.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  On both sides of sickbay are medicine cabinets.  Some medications are kept near the Biobeds for quick use, however those that can be considered Narcotics or opiates are locked down.  Again, you will receive your own codes, so we know who has entered and used those medications.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO/OPS: I'll be honest, I've reviewed their records.  I'm not impressed.  I want your opinions, as well as Counselor Wells when he's done, if those two should be reassigned to Starbase duty.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  The CMO will assign your shifts and duties while on those shifts.  The nurses here are excellent as they have been hand picked by the doctors on staff.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO/XO:  I just wonder who in their right mind assigned them to my department.  I am one for giving chances but come on, even I have my limitations on what to expect.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: I don't believe that's an option, Captain.  Either they work out here, or they need to be removed from duty.  Starbase isn't meant as a dump off for unqualified officers.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Each of you will share an office with another doctor.  The Cherokee is small and space is valuable.  Again, all codes will be issued by Cmdr. Nash.  She is the "go to" person.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs, putting his hands together and thinking for a moment. :: XO: I don't mean to dump anyone anywhere, Tio.  I just have reservations about having them on board.  However, I won't lie.  Neither of them are blowing a wind up my grass skirt at the moment.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Now if you all will take a seat in here, ::pointing to a small conference room::  I will continue with other details you should know.  ::she watches as they take their seats, waiting to have the proverbial shoe drop that they had not been expecting::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: I'm assuming that last is a figure of speech, and a rather strange one at that.  I'm just saying that it's now or never for them.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: Picks up a PADD that contains both of the crewmen in questions's records and makes an annotation. :: XO/OPS:  Under advisement from both the XO and OPS, I'm placing both crewmen in question under a probationary period of two months.  If they can show me that they can step up their performance and meet the expectations of their superior officers they stay aboard.  One more goof up like this one, and they are gone.  I think that’s fair enough.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Fine by me.  I've taken the liberty of reassigning them to areas that are not so involved with key ships operations.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
aCO: On the flip side, the VIP quarters will be ready with plenty of time to spare.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Now that we are comfortable... ::she begins to explain the workings of a starship::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Thank you.  Its nice to have some good news for a change.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: That might be a good change of pace for them, good thinking!

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  I suggest that you always have your Med kit stocked and ready.  Keep it by your side, no matter where you are.  You never know when danger will come or the crew hurt.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO/OPS: Now, about our guest.  Tell me about some of the customs or quirks that I will need to know about Mr. Merlot so I don't stick my boot in my foot in record time.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  It could be something as small as a hangnail, or as major as a plasma burn.  You will find medical supplies on each deck of the ship.  You need to know exactly where they are and how quickly you can reach them.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
aCO: Well, to start with, Ambassador Merlot will be the first of his species to leave their home system.  They have had a fair amount of contact, but subspace communication and face to face contact are different in many ways. They are the largest pure democracy known to the Federation outside of the Borg, however.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  The cargo bays have triage equipment in storage cabinets.  Again, familiarize yourself with their locations.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Are there any questions so far?  ::she looks at each of them::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and looks at another PADD he's had prepared for this meeting. :: OPS: What can you tell me about this, implant of theirs?

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  If any of you have a pet, we do have a veterinarian on board.  And please, no jokes or comments about the XO.  In case any of you aren't aware, he is a Caitian and at one time was Captain of this ship.  Now, if you will follow me, I will take you on a tour of the ship, ending at the bridge, where hopefully the command staff are available for a few moments.
::standing up, she walks to the waiting room of sickbay and out into the corridors.  She will show them the counseling offices, then the vet's office::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  From what I read, it's kind of like an integrated PADD/Communicator.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: And I'm to understand its tied in directly with their collective consciousness?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  From what I learned, yes.   It's like the Bynar or Borg implants that they tie somehow to one another instantly.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 10 has some living quarters but is used for other things as well.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Also, before they discovered subspace technology, they wouldn't be able to leave their system as signals would take weeks at best to go back and forth.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 11 is stellar Cartography, Phaser control, and the Chief Science Officer’s office.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: So basically, if one of their links go down, they become catatonic?

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 12 is the flight bay and torpedo launchers.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: That's the guess from Starfleet Medical.  Like a remote piloted probe without a link.  It doesn't know how to react.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 13 is engineering.  I suggest you take a guided tour by one of the engineers.  More accidents occur there than anywhere else on the ship.  You need to know your way around like it was the back of your hand.  I would also suggest you get someone to take you on a tour of the Jeffries tubes.  # 2 place for accidents to happen.  Deck 14 in civilian live quarters and crew quarters as well.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Lets see about taking precautions against that happening.  Last thing we want is for their first interstellar trip to be a disaster.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 15 is where the deuterium fuel storage tanks are.  Deck 16 is environmental support and waste management.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  That's why I am making sure everyone is in their correct place before we receive the Ambassador.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 17 are the cargo bays and the main brig.  Be careful if you are asked to treat a prisoner.  Never go in alone.  Always make sure a security guard is present and ready to help you if needed!

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Any security issues you can foresee with this implant thingie?

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Deck 18 is the anti-matter storage pods.  As I recall, this ship has had no accidents in this area.  Keep praying it will stay that way.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: Not that I can foresee if you're thinking using it to tap into our secured systems.  We will keep an eye on access, however, just to keep it safe.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Now we are going to the bridge so this was to the TL.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: I know, I know.  I have a habit of being a bit paranoid.  Just want all our bases covered.  Now.  About their culture.  I'm not going to declare war on them if I offer to shake their hand am I?

Host Doctor-Starr says:
::walks to the TL and the doors open to admit them::  ALL:  Deck 8 house Holodecks 1 and 2.  Again, OPS Nash is the one to ask for Holodeck time.  You will also find the weight room and the Pathways Lounge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
XO: No, they have had outside visitors before, including Terrans who felt it was good to introduce them to their customs.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Any questions?  We are almost to the bridge. ::looks for questions but sees no one needing answers as yet.  Watches as the TL doors slide open.  She has to grin as she sees the look of awe on the new ensigns faces.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Well, that’s a relief.  Any other subjects I need to be apprised of before I let you two wander off and cause further havoc on my ship?

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: Not that I can think of, Captain.  No other problems that I know of.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  It appears that some of the command staff are not present.  I will show you each station in case you are ever called to the bridge on an emergency.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins and smiles. :: XO: Well then, I think its time I relieved the OOD on the bridge and got about running this ship again.  I need all the practice I get.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
::walking to her right::  ALL:  This is tactical 1 and 2.  Next to it... ::she continues around the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
CO: Yes sir, sounds like a good plan.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Commander, thanks for taking the reins on dealing with those two crewmen.  Nice to know I can count on you to be the heavy end of the hammer when I need you to.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Just wish I could have reassigned them in the airlock and somehow ...oh never mind.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles and shakes his head. :: OPS: Now, now, no need to go THAT far.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  You would've said the same thing and you know it.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stands up and opens the door to the Bridge. :: XO/OPS: Time we got about the business of running this ship, don't you think.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Suppose so.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: No, I more than likely would have strangled them.  I'm not as subtle as you are.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Nods and exits the Ready Room, moving back onto the Bridge.::

Host Doctor-Starr says:
ALL:  Attention!  Captain on deck! ::smiles at the new Captain::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  I was tempted this time.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the CMO and grins. :: ALL: As you were.  Doctor, you’re looking as stunning as always.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
CO:  I would like to introduce you to your new medical staff.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::assumes her post::

Host Doctor-Starr says:
Med Staff:  This is Captain Mark Hazzard, XO Ayidee, and OPS Nash.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles at the new medical staff.::

Host Doctor-Starr says:
::leaning over she whispers to Kyleigh::  OPS:  I have sent some business your way.  I think they need their quarters a few other items.  ::laughing::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Med Staff: You'll excuse me if I say that I hope that we don't see all THAT much of each other, as that means I would have to get hurt a lot.  I'm more than confident that each and every one of you will do us proud on board and let me say that I am excited to see what all of you can do for the crew and for Starfleet.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
CO:  Why thank you Captain, charming as always.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Nods to the new staff.::  Medics: Welcome aboard.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CMO:  Sure why not.  Give me 20 minutes and all will be done.

ACTION:  A few large smiles can be seen when the XO welcomes them aboard.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: Doctor, let me know when your done with your new charges here.  I want to go over your prep work on medical emergency contingencies concerning Ambassador Merlot.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
Med Staff:  And like all SF Officers, getting them down for their physicals requires shall I say, finesse! ::grins::

Host Doctor-Starr says:
CO:  Anytime Captain.  I am sure you will approve of them.  I have worked closely with Dr. Downer and all contingencies should be covered.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
OPS: When your staff gets a chance, I'd like to have backup Methane breathers ready for our guests just in case something happens to the primaries.  I want their escorts to have them on hand, and extras in the areas he's most likely to be.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: smiles and nods. :: CMO: Good to hear, Doc.  Nice to know things are going smoothly for a change.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she begins the daunting task of assigning quarters to the newbies.::
XO:  Sure thing.  No problem.

Host Doctor-Starr says:
CO:  They better be or Sam will have that person's head on a platter and placed on the outside of Starbase 33!
