Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11006.27, Captain Ayidee recording.  We are approaching Starbase 33 for debrief after our last mission, but we do it with a hope that we will be sent out quickly again.  There are supplies left out to the hazards of space that need recovery, as well as follow up on that horrid mission.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, watching the docking procedure being carried out.::

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
::In sick bay, waiting to be discharged::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
:::on Bridge::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starbase Control>  %COM: Cherokee:  You have clearance to land at docking bay 7 berth 47.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::At the bridge. Preparing the last items, in order to start the docking procedures.::
All: Bay 7, Berth 47. At your command captain.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Starbase Control:  Acknowledged.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Roaming around Sickbay, as part of the routine of his day, before counseling sessions and time on the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO/ OPS: Then bring us in, nice and smooth.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Prepares the ship for bay 7, and berth 47.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Aye-aye sir. OPS: I am ready to proceed.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starbase Control> %COM:  Cherokee:  Please have the staff assemble in the Admiral's office when you have berthed.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Checks in on CTO in the recovery room:: CTO: So, it's up to you.  Do I discharge you and leave you at the mercy of a Starfleet or keep you with us a little longer?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Be my guest, lead us in.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Starts braking thrusters in order to decrease the speed, to minimum.:: OPS: Aye-aye. Breaking now, in order to adjust speed.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CNS: I have to face the music sooner or later. Might as well be sooner.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Decides to take the manual route in. And only uses the computer to help guiding.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: If I were flying this ship, we'd be half way back to New Hades by now.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Presses the thrusters once more and brings the ship right in front of the bay doors.::

ACTION:  The docking clamps extend to receive the Cherokee.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CNS: Well the Admiral wanted us here so we are here.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Starbase Control:  Acknowledged.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
:: The ship floats gently through the giant doors and the thrusters work again and bring the sip close to berth 47.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Okay then, I have no real reason to keep you, you have received excellent care and are lucky to be alive, you are in good shape so, I'll sign off on your discharge and escort you to the bridge.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  We are summoned to the Admiral's office once we get fully berthed.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starbase Control>  %COM: Cherokee:  Prepare to turn the Cherokee over to power from the base.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CNS: Thank you Counselor.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Starbase Control:  Ready over here.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::The ship floats towards the docking clamps. Thrusters are used and to brake and do the final turn. The docking clamps attach.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Understood.  Have all other crew remain on standby until we get orders.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
MO Monroe: Sickbay is yours.  I'll be on the bridge playing XO.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO/OPS: That is it. hardly felt, right? We are secured.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS/ CTO*: Gentlemen, we've been called to debrief with the admiral once we dock.  Keep your fingers interlocked.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Let's go, easy though, you're no superman yet.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::turns over power to Starbase Control::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<Monroe>: CNS: Yes, Sir.  CTO: Good bye, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Does do a last check and saves the instance. Powers his console down.:: CO: Job done sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she powers down her station after she informs the general crew to be on Standby for further details::

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
Monroe: Goodbye and thanks. ::Follows the Counselor::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Oh boy, this should be fun.  ::Holds CTO's arm until assured he has his balance::

ACTION:  All stations begin to power down and are turned over to the starbase.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Escorts CTO to the bridge::
CTO: If you have pain or dizziness, be sure to tell me, okay?

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CNS: I will, but I feel fine. ::makes his way with the Counselor::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Locks up console and prepares to head to Starbase.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Exits off Turbolift on to bridge and takes his place in the CNS's chair::  CO: So, here we are.  Thought we could all go together.  What does she want anyway?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Stands up walks over to the Turbolift and orders it. But waiting for the other crewmembers to show up.:: CO: I wonder, what awaits us now. This was a weird mission, if I may say so.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she begins her long journey to the Starbase to go see the Admiral.  For some reason, she feels like the group is being sent to the principal's office for some unknown reason.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Probably debrief officially, and then a less official update.  Or she guessed we needed to see her.
All: Let's get to it though, whatever the agenda, it won't get done while we stay on the Bridge.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CO: Or maybe she just wants to have me repeat everything I told you. ::smiles, then follows the Captain::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: We follow you, Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Bridge for the Admiral's office.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
ALL: Come on, I hold the TL for you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she goes with her fellow Senior Staff::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/CTO: How much are we going to tell her?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Officially we'll tell her what we know.  And then ask for a bit of rope to play out.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Joins the others:: CO: So, we trust her to help us in our idea.  What if she goes all Starfleet, by the book and all that?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
All: Ready? Deck 7?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: She wants this to end as much as we do, I think we can count on her help as long as we don't put her into a bad spot.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/All: I guess I shall try and show great control and not say to much in front of the Admiral.  I'll let you explain it to her.
CTO: And you too.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Lets get a going. I always get creepy when I am taking to long in such a narrow TL.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CO/CNS: If things get hairy I will just tell her I feel faint, which isn't too far from the truth.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits TL onto the station.::  FCO: Just because you didn't fly the Turbolift Car doesn't mean it is going to crash, Lieutenant.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: I'm armed with a Hypospray but, let's try not to need it.  I thought I might need a tranquilizer.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sighs and steps out.:: CO: Yeah, yeah. It is all right, I am out,  And yes you are right. As always.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Office.:: Yeoman: Cherokee Senior Staff to see Admiral Alexander, as ordered.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
CNS: Boy I hope not.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Laughs::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Bell>  CO:  Aye Sir.  I was told you could go right in.  Just knock please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods to Bell and knocks on the door.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Enter.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
::follows the Captain and CNS in::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Files into Admiral Alexander's office along with the others::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  It is good to see everyone of you again!  Please get a refreshment and then take a seat.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks at the yeoman and nods. And follows in as last as the word ENTER was said behind the door.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::points to the drinks on the table::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes a seat, waiting for this meeting to start.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Skips the refreshment but takes the seat.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Nods and smiles towards the Admiral. Takes a glass and fills it up with water and juice and mixes it. Then takes a seat.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, can you come here a moment please?  ::points to a corner::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands back up and walks to the Admiral.::  Adm: Yes Admiral?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::whispers::  CO:  Your request came through and was approved.  ::hands him the PADD::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Sees the CO go off with the ADM and turns to CTO:: CTO: Need to know, I guess.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  Adm: Very good, thank you Admiral.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Raises an eyebrow, and sips from his drink.:: CTO: I had no chance to talk to you, but I am happy you are back.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
FCO: Thank you Lieutenant, it is good to be back.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Are you ready to begin?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Leans over to OPS::  OPS: Pity about poor Diana, huh?  ::Smiles::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CTO: I know.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she just grabs an unsweetened iced tea and sits down::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CTO: Was it hard, for you? I mean during the time you were not on this ship.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::whispers::  CNS:  Yeah, poor Diana.  ::she says in a sarcastic tone::

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
FCO: Like all things, you have to survive. But now hopefully I can enjoy some peace for a time.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  When you are Captain!

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: I trust you and Kevin will sleep a little easier from now on.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Time will tell on that.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Would you like to do the honors, or shall I?  ::Lifts the PADD.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CTO: Indeed. But I think, the Admiral is taking word short from now. I do not want to interrupt her. ::Smiles.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  The honor is all yours Captain.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: If you need to talk, I'm available.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Crew, can I have your attention please?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  We'll see.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Shuts up and faces CO::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::focuses her attentions to the CO::

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
::looks at the CO:::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks at the CO, and awaits the important talk.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Before we begin, we have a bit of ship business to take care of.  Commander Wells, this concerns you directly.  Starfleet would like to promote you officially to the position of Executive Officer.  Do you accept?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
All: Oh for Pete’s sake, what a lousy thing to go and do to a nice guy like me, I suppose you think I should be grateful?  Well, I am a little, but you're all on your own with your mental health.
CO: My kid would kill me if I didn't except.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'm glad to have his backing then.  You deserve the honor.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Thank you, Sir, I shall give it my best.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I am glad you have accepted.  It is long overdue!  ::claps::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks like he has expected this a long time ago.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Congratulations, Commander.  The job has been yours for some time, this just makes it official after all.

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
::claps:: XO: Congrats Garrison.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
All: Thanks, everybody.  Now, let's talk about something else.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Gives the XO a pat on the shoulder and whispers.:: XO: You deserve this.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Congrats.  You've earned it.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Thank you, my friend.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: Thank you, Mrs. Nash, a welcomed endorsement.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I would like to have a small get together tonight at my home.  Families are invited to help celebrate this occasion for XO Wells!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: We actually have a request that may affect that plan, Admiral, if we can get it worked out.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
::Really would rather do without the fuss but, knows they mean well::
ADM: Yes, we sort of had other plans, you could even join us.
CO: Tell her.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: If I go into details, it will place undue pressure on you, but during debriefing Lieutenant Worthington, it became apparent that we need to recover the supplies left on New Hades as quickly as possible.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sips more from his drink.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::raises her eyebrows::  CO:  Really?  ::getting the same thoughts from everyone::  Would you care to explain better Tio?
ALL:  It seems everyone here forgets I read minds, especially when everyone's thoughts are loud and clear.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: I would like to, but I know that if I do you will need to pass word up the line about what needs recovering.  Telepathy isn't part of the official records, after all.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
ADM: Yes, but you shouldn't be doing that.  You know it freaks people out.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  It is something I have no control over if you will remember my background.  ::said very gently::

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
::sits in his chair, avoiding the excitement for the time being::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  So, would anyone like to tell me what happened so I can make my "official" report?

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
ADM: It still makes people nervous, but regardless, we are only trying to protect you and achieve our goal too.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: We understand the situation, and we understand that you know what we're asking.  But officially we need to recover items left at New Hades before they are lost forever.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Is absolutely happy that his best friend on the ship, got promoted to XO. Wanders of with his thoughts, looking for other good friends. He only remembers one in Poland.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  As I said before, ::tapping a button on her console to turn off all recording devises::  I need to know what exactly happened.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Officially, we discovered that the missing supply ships were lost to Diana Smith and the Hand of God, hoping to find a cure to Theleron poisoning.  That realization showed us we could not leave a stash of Medical Supplies unattended where anyone could find them.  They may already be gone, but we need to try.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
::Looks at CO and CTO waiting to see how we proceed with the ADM::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Nothing leaves this room IF you tell me everything.
::looks pointedly at the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
ADM: ...and, I was the lead on New Hades. We did leave some of our equipment there for the Dallas to use, we could retrieve that stuff as well.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: The short of it?  Smith told the Lieutenant that he was left on New Hades to get him out of the Hand's hair.  But no telling how long he'll be there.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  The Dallas brought everything home Gary.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
ADM: Not everything.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  He who Captain?

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
::Looks at CTO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Do you really need to ask?  Who else would we go to these ends to keep unofficial.  LoDuca.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::sighs::  CO:  And where did we get this information?  Am I going to have to drag every detail out of all of you?

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
::gives the Admiral a look:: Adm: We will just say somewhat reliable sources.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::hearing LoDuca's name, she is a sudden chill signaling that things are going to get ugly before this chapter is written.::

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
::Looks at CO then, ADM::  ADM: So, there it is, now you know why it's need to know, if anyone finds out those working with LoDuca still, and you know they exist in Starfleet, we would be stopped.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: It's from Smith, second hand.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking at her crew::  ALL:  And you really believe her?  After all she did and said?

CTO_Lt_JG_Worthington says:
Adm: No harm in taking a peak, we could finally end this once and for all.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: She gave whatever information she wanted to share.  This may be a false lead, but it may not be.  It needs to be checked by on the ground Intelligence gathering.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
ADM: Of course we don't believe Diana Smith but, we believes Trent Worthington, and he believes Diana Smith, if only this time.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  I know you would like to close this chapter of your life, as would I, however, as you all are aware of, I do have to answer to Starfleet Command.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, just how do you propose to accomplish this goal, remembering that I have to answer to others as well?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Then tell them we started a third base camp, and the Dallas didn't realize we did, and no one can tell for certain if the supplies were recovered.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
ADM: So, you tell them we were sent to get  "Equipment" bring in the escaped convict will just be the frosting later.

XO_Cmdr_Wells says:
All: I wonder if there is a reward for his capture?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I see everyone has thought this out.  ::looking at each of them::  Then this is what everyone wants?
