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

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Walking in the forests of Emdoor, just north of local town of something or other, trying to focus.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::reading the PADD message, she nods her head slowly and takes a deep breath::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Opens the door of his cabin, after a long sleep. Puts tea and bread outside and takes a seat on the bench.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::it is the next day and Kevin told her to go to the Business District and spend the day to herself, he'll watch the children.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Sips on his tea, takes a bite and then takes a deep breath.:: Self: Wow this is rest.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking to see that T'Sara is occupied, she taps her COM badge:: * XO*:  This is the Admiral.  I need you to beam to my location please.  I will leave it open so you can find me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Watches a flock of birds take flight at the noise.::  *Adm*: Aye ma'am, on my way.  ::Calls and arranges transport.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Lying on the beach catching the morning sun and reading the latest best seller by, it doesn't matter much who::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Arrives at the Admiral's Location after a relatively short delay.::  Adm: You wanted to see me, Admiral?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Tio, Mark has decided to leave Starfleet.  This last business just took the heart out of him.  I spent most of the night trying to talk him into vacation time, but I couldn't.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Kyleigh goes to her room and changes for a day on the town, she puts on a flattering light purple blouse with black slacks and she grabs her favorite light weight cloak, and yes, it is a light shade of purple to match her blouse.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Picks some walking shoes, a backpack, puts water in it and drinks and walks of for a long walk to the hilltop. Meanwhile putting the badge on the table, as to complete the whole feeling free.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: That's a surprise, Admiral, but I suppose given recent events, not as much as it could have been.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  You know this presents a problem for me.  We need a Captain, and I was hoping you would accept the position, even after the last disaster on Earth.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after telling her family that she'll be back soon, she flies out the door before someone changes her  mind.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches his son playing in the sand nearby, with Zach and Barbara and sipping something red and cold from a tall frosty glass::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: The past is the past, Admiral.  I serve as needed, and will do all I can to make things right if possible.  When does his departure take place?

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Feels the fresh oxygen fill his lungs.:: Self: That feels good.

CNS_Wells says:
::Bored with the book he tosses it on the beach blanket and runs to join the others near the shore line::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Sorry to say, early this morning.  He didn't want to talk to anyone.  It will be your responsibility to do that.  Also, be thinking about who you would like as your XO and 2nd Officer.  ::reaches into her pocket and pulls out the last pip::  CO:  These are for you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she arrives at her destination, and she begins her free time, so she starts to window shop to see if anything catches her eye.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: That quick then?  Is it too early to ask that, despite the "changes" at the top, can we still push to be on the Lee hunt?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Believe me, I want in on that hunt as well.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: Commander Wells has been nothing but superb in his duties as Second Officer.  Assuming he'll take the position, he's the obvious choice.  Commander Nash I think is ready to step up as well.  Keep familiar faces at the top wherever possible, right?

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Reaches the top of the hill.::

CNS_Wells says:
Zach Bauer: This is a familiar sight, you on a beach.  ::Talking to be heard above the roar of the incoming tide and the healthy winds blowing it into shore::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Absolutely Tio.  Those are good choices, I hope they decide to serve.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she arrives at a store that catches her eye and she walks in::

CNS_Wells says:
Zach Bauer: It seems Goliath should be around, chasing sandpipers and seagulls.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  Not so far out please, you are making Cleopatra nervous!

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: Any word yet on how Intel is holding in their end of the hunt?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  CO:  Uncle Tio... you didn't let me know you were here!  ::she begins swimming back to shore::  Don't go before I get my hug!

CNS_Wells says:
<Zach Bauer>: CNS: Well, he decided to sit this trip out.  He's doing well but, he doesn't get around to much anymore, likes to stay home.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  The same as usual, they will let me know when they have something.  ::her eyes twinkling::  But I do have other resources, as you well know.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: I'm not going anywhere quickly, don't worry.
Adm: I know, and it's still early in reality.  Sometimes this job makes one rather...impatient.  Eager to get back to it.

CNS_Wells says:
Zach Bauer: Well, considering he survived a Starship exploding around him, I'd say he's one lucky dog.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Looks around over the surroundings. He is so full of joy that he wants to talk to his shipmates. He then thinks he has to hit himself as he left the badge behind. Now is alone to celebrate. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  ::running up to the Cait, she leaps into his arms, whether he is ready or not::  CO:  Uncle Tio, you have been away too long!  Cleopatra and I have missed you!.  You know she thinks you are part of the family.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: I fully understand the need for leave, especially now, but it's tough to wait on things.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she browses though the various racks of clothes, she grabs a lot of beautiful clothes for herself, after all, it's time that she gets a make-over::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: I've not been far, not with modern technology.  Just spent the last day trying to get some things taken care of.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Yes I know.  I became rather involved myself and it was "suggested" that I take a short vacation a well.  Guess my red hair does get the better of me at times.

CNS_Wells says:
::The two guys see the almost five year old fair-haired boy running towards them, followed by Barbara.  They decided to turn it into a cat and mouse chase, with everyone chasing everyone and getting wet and getting sand in places you don't want sand but having to much fun to care::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  ::whispers::  CO:  She really means that.  I have never seen her so mad except when all of your had to stay on Earth that time.

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::Smiles, knowing where it's coming from and what the point of it all is.::  T'Sara: Anger isn't always a negative emotion.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Things of what the others might do. Yes Gary at the shoreline, but what about Tio, Kyleigh and the captain.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: How are you enjoying Risa?

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Spots a small lake at the other side of the hill and decides to go to there.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she was talked into getting a fellow coordinating accessories to go with her new outfits; she leaves the store with an arm load full of goodies, she continues on her search for a new look for herself, she happens upon a shoe store and she enters, she finds five pairs of shoes that she really likes and buys them and leaves.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  CO:  It is nice!  I like the sun a lot... and Cleopatra love all the bugs and stuff.  ::begins to giggle::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: And many of us thought the bugs were a challenge they just couldn't overcome.  ::Laughs.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Falls and rolls over in the sand only to get submarined by the kid.  A kid jumping on your gut can certainly knock the wind out of you but, you gotta keep smiling::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after spending her money on clothes and such, she goes to a little eating place and grabs a quick bite to eat with a glass of iced tea, unsweetened.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  Are you making fun of me Uncle Tio?  I wouldn't want to eat bugs!  YUCK!  ::makes a gagging noise::

CNS_Wells says:
::Picks up laughing child, carrying him into the surf and throws him into an oncoming wave::

Host XO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: No, I'm just saying that the bugs were left in for Cleopatra, and others who enjoy such things.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after she finishes her meal, she decides to make her new look complete by going to get her hair done, it's time for her cut her hair from being long to be just past her shoulder blades::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Arrives at the lake and decides to take a dive into it instantly.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees the ending of a wrestling match between Barbara and Big Z, as he helps the boy get large rock out of the sand, not sure why, no reason I guess::

CNS_Wells says:
<Little z>: CNS: it's just for something to do, that's why.  ::Answering his father's inquiry::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
Self: Yikes that is cold. No wonder no one is swimming here.  I have to get out as fast as I can.

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
::fingers the pips the Admiral handed him.::  Adm: I think now would be a bad time to pin on the pips, however.  What without a collar and all right now.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  You can be the first to congratulate Uncle Tio.  He is now the new Captain of the Cherokee.

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: New old Captain, to be precise I suppose.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  :;begins jumping up and down in his arms::  CO:  Yeah for Uncle Tio!

CNS_Wells says:
<Barbara>: Brunch will be ready in an hour guys.  ::Said loud enough for him to hear her::

CNS_Wells says:
::Turns and watches Barbara and Zach heading for the beach house, him chasing her and her laughing like an idiot, in his opinion::

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: Thank you.  Now it's time to get used to it again.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  CO:  You have always been my Captain. ::grinning up at him with adoring eyes::  Cleopatra says the same.  She thinks only cats should be the leader on a ship!

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::he remember that is in Risa place that he use to live for 5 years and he left it, too.  Wonders where is the rest of the crew::

CNS_Wells says:
::Turns to the boy:: Little Zach: I can't wait.  I need ice cream.  What about you?

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: Now, one can't think like that.  The mind is what counts, not what one's external DNA.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>::giggles::  CO:  You tell that to Cleopatra!

CNS_Wells says:
<Little z>::Shakes his head in agreement:: CNS/Dad: That sounds like a good idea.

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
T'Sara: I'll try.  If she'll listen.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Perhaps you might want to ask Kyleigh and Gary to come here, or would you prefer a different location to tell them?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  Well you know she loves to be scratched right in front of the base of her tail... that might work!

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: I'll see if we can get them here.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::his is walking to the cottage were he used to live give him good memories::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is enjoying her day of pampering herself, she hopes nothing will happen to disrupt this moment at least not now::

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
*CNS/ OPS*: Commanders, can you join the Admiral and I at our location?

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes the boy by the hand and the walk in the direction of the marina, just down the road where they keep small fishing boats and rentals:: Little z: I don't think I could handle another of Barbara's seaweed salads, with plankton dressing.  ::Sees the boy making a nasty face, expressing his opinion of said salads::

CNS_Wells says:
::Gets a signal on his COM and needs to stop walking:: Little z: Hang on, buddy. Incoming.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::right on cue, she taps her comm badge::  *XO*: Now?  Really? I'm in the middle of something.

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
Adm: Want to set it up for 1300 hours, give them some time to wrap things up?

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Umm, gee, Tio, I'm kinda... with child, in a manner of speaking.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Up to you Tio...

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Puts on his clothes. Shivers and takes a spot in the sun, to warm up.:: Self: Man that was cold. I'd thought that Risa was a nice and warm place.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Picks his gear up later and follows home to the cabin. If he only could find it.::

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: I suppose I could, if it won't take long, I could bring him.  Is there ice cream where you are, by chance?

Host CO_Cmdr_Ayidee says:
*OPS/CNS*: Why don't we make it Thirteen hundred hours then?  Give you some time to wrap things up, sorry, didn't want to intrude, but there's been...changes again.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::finds the cottage were he used to live.::  Self:: I am going to talk to somebody, I don't want to be alone ::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Understood, be there then, Kyleigh out.  ::she wonders what that was about::

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Thirteen hundred, you got it, Sir.  Send location and I'll be there.  I do have an important prior commitment to fulfill.
