Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11002.28.  It seemed for a minute that we would be getting back to normal.  But I was foolish to think that, this is Starfleet.  With the unexpected return of former Captain Worthington, things are certainly not "normal".

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

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::On his way to his quarters to greet his son's new nanny::  *FCO*:  So, you and On are going to the planet to help me set things up for the morning, correct?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Ready Room, standing before someone I hadn't expected to see, at least not like this.::  CTO: It's been a long time, should I ask for the story?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS, on Bridge::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: I am reporting here as ordered sir. ::hands him a PADD:: Looks like I have been assigned as your new CTO for the duration of this mission. Our orders are to report to those coordinates and search for a missing vessel.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: at shuttle bay working with Mr. Farsy ::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
:: At the console checking the ship stays at standard orbit.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Reaches his office, connected to his quarters:: *CEO*: If you and your people are ready coordinate your departures with OPS and the FCO, you can use transporters for materials but, not for people.  Understood?

Chief_Farsy says:
Self: Ok, who is commanding me now? ::Sticks his head out of a shuttle.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I'll take that as a no, I shouldn't ask.  ::Looks over the PADD.::  And this isn't the normal chain of command.  I will need to both verify the orders and see about a replacement ship for our current mission.  Not that I don't trust this chain of command, but there are procedures to follow.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*CNS*: Understood.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Enters office and then, quarters.  Finds ZG conversing with a young Vulcan female::  Ava: You must be Ava.  My mother has spoken well of you.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<ZG>: Daddy!  ::Runs to hug his Dad::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Please verify them if you wish. However, I have been instructed to inform you that the purpose of this mission is classified as are our operating details. This mission is of the highest importance. Unfortunately my whereabouts are also covered in the classified nature of our mission.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<Ava>::Stands and faces the CNS:: CNS: Yes, Doctor Wells, I am Ava.

Chief_Farsy says:
CEO: I thought I heard my name. Must be mistaken then.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Very well, I won't even mention my clearance levels, as I'm sure you already know them.  But understand, I need to know all pertinent details that may affect the mission.  Hold anything back and past history aside, there will be problems.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
Ava: Welcome.  I'm afraid we will have to get better acquainted later, in this business you gotta be flexible.  I need you to get ZG and yourself ready to go.
ZG: Good news, little man, the Terraforming mission is back on.  ::Smiles::  Quick!  Go pack up your stuff.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*aXO*: Sir? I am still at the bridge. You want me to fly you down? I'd gladly do that, instead of flying circles.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: I can appreciate that, sir. I am here to do my duty and will share any and all information with you that keeps in line with the spirit of my orders.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*FCO*: We are resuming the Terraforming schedule in the morning.  I thought you and On could help me set things up down there tonight.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I trust you will.  It's been awhile, but I still do.  Espirit de corps, or however it's said.  Now, take a bit to get yourself settled while I get things checked out.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Chief_Farsy: All the supplies are set in place. Thanks for al the help.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<ZG>: Oh boy!  I gotta go find my new digital imager.  ::Runs off::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<Ava>: CNS: I shall assist the child and have us both ready, Doctor Wells.  ::Walks off::

Chief_Farsy says:
CEO: Right. That is done. that was a tough job Sir.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Aye Captain, I will brief you and your XO on the mission once you have verified your orders. ::stands at attention, waiting to be dismissed::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Dismissed.  I'll talk to you soon.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::turns and exits the RR, heading for his quarter assignment::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Makes sure, next shift takes over the console and heads down to the Shuttlebay as well.::

Chief_Farsy says:
CEO: Well, we can start shuttling you and the teams down already.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Pauses, looking at the PADD for a minute, then goes to the desk and sits.::  Computer: Establish a Comm link with Starbase 33, I need to make contact with Admiral Alexander as soon as she is available.

Chief_Farsy says:
CEO: If you get the permission.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Grabs a few things and throws them into a bag and gets on some outside clothes::  *FCO*: I'm headed to the shuttle bay.  I assume there is a shuttle ready for me there?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO:  Here's your quarters assignment.  Welcome back.   ::hands him the PADD with the details::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: I will shuttle you personally down.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::takes the PADD from OPS:: OPS: Thank you Commander. ::heads for the TL::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*FCO*: Sounds good, we'll be in Shuttlebay in a few minutes.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*CNS*: All the supplies are ready, my team of Engineer are also ready, too. I wait for your command.  Or is there anybody coming along of the senior staff?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CEO*: If you are ready now go down and get your people started on those structures the Captain wanted built.  I'm headed down now too.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::exits the TL and enters his new quarters, wondering how long he will be here and heads for the sonic shower::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Enters the Shuttlebay.:: *CNS*: At the Shuttlebay. ::Finds Chief Farsy.:: Chief: Shuttle free for me?

Chief_Farsy says:
FCO: Aye-aye sir. That one.  ::Pointing into a direction.:: And um, I am off. I win today from you. ::Big smile.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Chief_Farsy: We got the permission?  ::looks at the FCO come in and smiles::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
Chief: Thanks Farcy. Walks over to his shuttle.

Chief_Farsy says:
CEO: We have a head start. ::Closes the door, and moves to the front.:: CEO: Please assist me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees the Comm link established.::  COMM: Starbase 33: This is Captain Ayidee, I need to speak with the Admiral as soon as possible.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Walks to the pointed shuttle and moves in, between several packages. And sees a few empty seats.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::When Ava and ZG are ready, head to the Shuttlebay::  Ava/ZG: You two stay close to the base camp down there.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Chief_Farsy: Let's go. I will assist you ::orders the team of Engineers to enters too::

Chief_Farsy says:
::Starts preflight. Starts the engines.:: *OPS*: One chief ready for open doors.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<ZG>::Enters Shuttlebay with Dad and Nanny ready to continue his mission::  CNS: Where's our shuttle?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Starbase OPS> COMM: CO: Sorry Captain, the Admiral is unavailable as she's in a Diplomatic conference that could last all day.  If it's interrupted, 3 weeks of work could be wasted.  I'll have her return the call as soon as she's clear.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COMM: Starbase OPS: Understood, Ayidee out.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
ZG: Look for Mr. Zdunovski, that will be our shuttle.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Hears little boy.:: ZG: In here.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Chief_Farsy: And here we go again.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<ZG>:: Runs around looking for the FCO::

Chief_Farsy says:
*OPS*: Could you open the gates for our shuttle to the planet?  ::Starts to hover.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<ZG>::Shouts loud:: CNS: Found him!!!

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::changes in to a fresh uniform:: Self; How strange is it seeing my self in gold, almost like deja vu.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
:: Activates Computer, attempting to discover what we're getting into as far as clearance will allow.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Leads the girl to where the boy is and enters the shuttle::  FCO: Hello, Konrad.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*Farsy*:  Understood.  ::opens the doors::

Chief_Farsy says:
*OPS*: Aye-aye madam. :: Gently floats out of the doors.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Gets ZG into a seat and finds one himself::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<Ava> ::Sits near ZG, excited, but not showing it::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
aXO: Hello. And ZG. come in. Find a seat. I try to beat Farsy. But he is faster then us out of here.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<ZG>: FCO: Take off, Mr. Zdunowski. Go fast.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Starts the pre-flight systems, and the engines.:: CNS: Could you close the doors?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@FCO: I think my son is trying to say when you are ready, Lieutenant.  ::Smiles::  Sure. ::Closes doors::

Chief_Farsy says:
@:: Starts the descent.::

ACTION:  All but one shuttle leaves the Cherokee to continue their Terraforming mission.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@*OPS*: Shuttle number 2 is leaving. Doors are still open, so that should be ok then.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::exits his quarters and heads for the TL:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*FCO*:  Understood.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@::Sits back and begins going over tomorrow's schedule for the tenth time::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::set up the shuttle to land with the thrusters according to the atmosphere of the planet::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@<ZG>:: Looking out the window at the departure::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Hovers to the end of the shuttle bay and starts its descent. Sees the other shuttle on the maps. It is close but hard to beat.::  CNS/ZG: I am not sure if I can beat him. Farsy is to far out.

Chief_Farsy says:
@CEO: Atmosphere in site. Ah Mister Zdunowski is coming out. He can never catch me.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Speeds up as fast as is allowed.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@CNS: Just get us down there safely.  Safety first, right Mr. Zdunovski?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CNS: Sure. I can beat him, but I do not know at what costs. I give him a run for his money, but stay behind.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@ZG: It's not how fast you go, son, it's about how you go... safety first, right?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@Chief_Farsy: Land... Please land this shuttle safely, Mr. Farsy.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::exits the TL on to the bridge, moving over to tactical::

Chief_Farsy says:
@CEO: Well, Zdunowski is taken up more speed then I. He knows more tricks, then he tells. But we are deep in the atmosphere. As I have to throttle down already.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Enters the atmosphere at maximum speed.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@<ZG>: Yes, father but, if you got a ship that flies fast, there must be a reason why it goes fast.  So I think we should go fast.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@ZG: Just look out the window, make sure no one took any stars, huh?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Sees Farsy's shuttle in front of him and throttles down.:: CNS/ZG: Well that's it. Land in sight.

Chief_Farsy says:
@::Throttles down, and lands safely.::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::goes over the days security reports and accesses the current mission briefings::

Chief_Farsy says:
@CEO: We can start opening the gates and unpacking again.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@Chief_Farsy: For something, Mr. Zdunowski is our Flying best officer :: starts to laughs::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Lands the shuttle safely next to Farsy's shuttle.:: CNS: That is it. Been here before.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Finds there are few details in accessible records for the Kepler.  Either a major slip, or a deliberate over sight?::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@FCO: Yes, I'm glad we are back.  Let's get to work.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CNS: Yes sir. :: Walks to the door. Opens it.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@*OPS*: Shuttle one and two have landed safely and starting to unpack now.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@Chief_Farsy: All right, Good landing ::orders the team of engineers to go out and starts they're job and shakes the hand of Mr. Farsy::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*FCO*:  Understood.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Walks over to Farsy.:: Chief: Congratulations Farsy, you won this trip.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@<ZG>::As soon as FCO has door opened a crack, slips through and runs out side. FCO: Thanks Mr. Zdunowski.

ACTION:  6 other shuttles begin to land next to the ones carrying the CNS and CEO.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@<Ava>: I'll watch him, Sir.  ::Goes after the boy::

Chief_Farsy says:
@::Shakes the hand of the CEO:: CEO: Aye-aye sir. I will learn more tricks, later. FCO: Thank you. But when I saw you speed up, I thought you would win. I won, but still have the feeling you let me win. Because of safety.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@FCO: To have that much energy again, huh?  Oh well, let's get things going and then you, Chief On and I will take a break.  Sound like a plan?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Smiles and shakes his head.:: Chief: Keep up the good work. ::Walks back to his shuttle.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Sees Little ZG.:: ZG: It is Zdunowski. Not Zdonovski. But never mind. Glad you came with us buddy. Perhaps you can help us, unpack, by carrying the smaller packages?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::wonders why the ship has not set course yet::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@FCO: He's gone but, I will help you.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Walks in to the shuttle and smiles.:: CNS: Nice kiddo. come on and lets take that heavy one first, in order to get some space in the shuttle.

Chief_Farsy says:
@::Unpacks a lot of things and brings them to the place desired by the Chief Engineer.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@::Helps FCO::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::helps Mr. Farsy::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CNS: Well that goes good. Where to place? CEO's camp part?

Chief_Farsy says:
@CEO: This goes good. Shuttle is nearly empty.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@Chief_Farsy: all right. Now I have to pick a good camping place.

ACTION:  It is now 0800.  8 more shuttles are returning to the planet with personnel and the rest of the supplies needed.  Captain Ayidee has been waiting for confirmation on the orders he received from the CTO.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  This is Admiral Alexander.  I need to speak with the Captain in private.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  ADM:  Understood.  Stand by.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::finishes his first duty roster for security:: Self: Like riding a bike.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Admiral Alexander needs to speak with you in private.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Understood, I have it here.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@::After breakfast, Ava and ZG are off to bond and explore.  The four teams have been given their morning assignments and assigned team leaders, everyone knows what to do::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM:  CO:  Captain, you called I suppose about Lt. Worthington?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Alexander: Yes Ma'am.  While seeing him back without warning was a surprise, the orders he carries are...their delivery isn't standard shall we say?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Looks up from his breakfast table as Farsy arrives.:: CNS: Well slept?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@FCO: Yes, it is very peaceful here and the air can't be beat, not like that filtered stuff on the ship, huh?  ::Finishes his second cup of coffee::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM:  CO:  I just received them myself.  You are to proceed on a rescue mission again.  This time it is the science vessel USS Kepler that has not reported in for several days.

Chief_Farsy says:
@CNS/FCO/CEO: Awake too? Well me eat too, before you eat everything.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: I've been looking into them while waiting for your meeting to finish.  Having a hard time finding what they were doing when they went missing.  Is it best not to ask?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@FCO: Well, are you going to get you landing strip up and running again?  Don't worry, Maryanne Bright is leading Team 3 kilometers from here.  ::Laughs::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM:  CO:  The vessel was near the Romulan Neutral zone.  I was given no details other than they are missing.  This reeks of SFI, but I can't prove it.  Just be careful Tio.  How is Trent?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@Farsy: Eat up, Chief.  You can have my seat.  ::Gets up with his empty cup::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Looks up from his tea. Ears pointed.:: CNS: Aye-aye. That would be my job for today then. As that makes it easier for future shuttles to land. You can use Farsy or your job. Hehe.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Adm: Seemed rather uptight, but considering our guesses of what happened to him, that isn't a surprise.  He seems to be getting back into duty well enough.  If he ever really left it that is.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::his is drinking his hot cocoa cup with some breads:: CNS/FCO/Farsy: Good Morning, I didn't sleep well at all, I don't know why?

Chief_Farsy says:
@::With a Mouthful.:: CNS: Not so hasty sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@::Gets up and takes his cup with him::  CEO: Not an outdoor person, Chief?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM:  CO:  At least that is good to hear.  Please give him my regards.  Also, I have an approval that you sent me.  Please go ahead.  Keep me up to date on everything that happens.  You should be relieved by the science vessel USS Salk within the hour.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@CEO: Morning. I slept like a rose. Finished breakfast and I am on my way for the landing facility. ::Finishes off. And walks to the landing strip.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CNS: It's not that, I guess that yesterday was not my night. Too much nightmares.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Adm: Understood.  Just to let you know, there are going to be a lot of disappointed hands that we can't finish here.  It's been some time since we had a hand in something constructive.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
@::Stands and talks with the guys seated at breakfast::  CEO: Nightmares?  We can talk about those later, if you want.  I almost forget.  I was going to tell you to see the Counselor but, hey, that's me!

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::Checks the time, cannot believe that it has been over 8 hours and they are still nut under way.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@FCO: How I envy you that you could sleep so well.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM:  CO:  I know Captain, but maybe I can find another mission similar to this in the future.  Just make sure there is a future.  Alexander out.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@:: Hears the CEO say something.:: *CEO*: Vodka my friend, and you sleep everywhere.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Adm: We'll be careful, Ayidee out.
