Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11301.06, Captain Ayidee recording.  We are returning to Starbase 33 from New Calif...from Geldstehn that is, and are scheduled for a refit when we return.  We are working now to ensure that all needed repairs and replacements will be completed on schedule.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, reviewing a long line or reports and requests from the crew.::

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Coordinates set for return to Starbase 33 on your command Sir.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  ::down in engineering, going over the refit schematics for the new warp core.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Engage course, let's get back to base.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge at OPS::

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Aye Sir!  ::presses the buttons on her console::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::standing at his console, going over the upcoming refit schedule to ensure all needed tasks will be finished in a timely manner::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In the CNS chair on the bridge.  He is using his console to research how to best staff a department::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::At the TAC station, hoping Starfleet sees fit to equip the ship with rapid fire plasma cannons.::

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, warp 4 engaged.  ETA 3 days.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Very good.

ACTION: A request comes through OPS console to alter ownership of the Captain's cabin to Barney.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  Tibbitts: How is that new power grid layout coming?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::gets a perplexed expression after reading a strange request then she looks at the Captain::  CO:  Captain?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Yes Commander?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Tibbitts>  ::looking down from her station on the upper deck::  Keller: With the power requirements for the weapons and new shield generator I have got a lot of reworking to do.  I'm working on it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::OPS voice breaks his focus.  He listens to the conversation::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Did you put in a request to change ownership of your cabin to the name of Barney?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS/All: Who's Barney?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Did I do what?  To Barn...I am going to kill Pat.  You are serious?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::tunrs his head at the talk of the captain and listens::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes Sir, very serious.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: He's a Vole, rescued from Starbase 71 years ago.  And apparently the Pawn in a not so subtle move from my Yeoman.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Forward the request to my console please.  And for the record, request is denied.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Already there, Captain.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
*Chief Smith*:  I will be coming down soon to inspect the flight deck.  Make sure all is ready and any supply list you have is there.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hits some stuff up on his console::  Reading: Rubble, Fife, purple dinosaur, Neil Patrick Harris character... CO: A vole?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  ::not happy with the reaction chamber shape, he alters it and runs another simulation to test it::

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
<Chief Smith> *FCO*:  Yes Ma’am, all is ready.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Sounds very unsanitary, Sir.  Things like that on a starship, I mean.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Pat seems to think I spend too much time on Deck 1, between Bridge and Ready Room.  So Pat thinks it's funny to try and transfer my quarters to my Vole.  Tellar humor escapes me sometimes, but this one may need a response.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, I would like permission to leave the bridge to go to the flight deck for an inspections and resupply lists.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Granted.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: He is trained.  Well, apart from his repeated attempts to escape, but we've pretty much curbed that.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Olson>  ::walks up to Keller and hands him a PADD::  Keller: Sir, our resupply list.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
Ensign George:  Talk over the helm.  I will be back shortly.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
<Eng George>  FCO:  Yes Ma’am.  ::move to take the seat at the helm as the FCO stands::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I see.  Well, then, if I should happen to see a vole running loose in the corridors I'll refrain from hitting it with a mallet.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I think he still thinks he's going to find the bird.  Doesn't understand it passed years ago.  Still not sure how long a Vole lives.  Thought it was only going to be a few years.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Bird, Sir?

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
::nods at the Captain and leaves the bridge taking the TL to the flight deck::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  ::looks it over::  Olson: This is complete?   If you are sure it is take it up to the Chief. :: holds it out to him::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Olson>  ::takes the PADD and turns to head for the bridge::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  :: the results of the sim is displayed and the data shows a 20% increase in reaction power::  Self: This is much better.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
::walks into the TL and asks for deck 4::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: After I got the Vole, a whim inspired me to get another pet, and I found the bird attractive.  Then the fish in the Ready room.  On the Huron I had people saying I was a cat with a rodent, a fish, a bird, and with 2 dogs in my command.  Sarcasm, I think.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::wonders if he'll be able to find a hunting holo-program suitable for chopwI'.  The cat has been getting lazy lately.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: About another matter, Sir.  It seems I've found my department void of crew.  I'm supposed to have a junior Counselor and an office asistant.  According to Starfleet protocols, I'm allowed to interview for the positions.  With your permission, I'd like to conduct those interviews once we arrive at the starbase, Sir.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  *CEO* I'm sending you the design from the warp core.  ::sends the schmatics up to be uploaded to the CEO's console on the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Will review the CO's pet fetishes at a later time.::  CO: That's quite the managere of critters, Sir.  Your list reads like a Dr. Suess story.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Of course.  I wish I could help with a few suggestions, but I've only really known a few Counselors, and most of those have moved on to other things.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I suppose that happens, Sir.  I hope I'll be as good as the best of them, Sir.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
:;arrives on the flight deck and begins to look around on her own::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: More Sarcasm?  Haven't heard that one, but heard a few others.  It wasn't planned.  Funny, Scoo and Bee seemed to enjoy the nickname and they were part of it.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::sees the design show up and I move it into position on the screen to install it to go along with the rest of the new ship fuction design::  *Keller*: Received.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: No, Sir, I meant no sarcasm.  It's just, well... it is a long list.  I never had a pet myself, closest thing to it, I guess, was the horse I always took out at my Grandfather's house.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::catching the conversation of the CNS and CO::  CNS: Who is Dr Suess?  I am not familiar with him.  Is he a veterinarian?  Given the context of the talk about the vole, I assumed he would be.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Let me know if you need anything with the search.
CEO: I think he shared a practice with a Doctor Doolittle on Earth.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  I mrean, aye, Sir.  :Thinks he insulted the CO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: The names seemed to go together a lot.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::thinks::  CO: I do not know him either, and I studied all the known doctors of any importance.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Relax.  There is a time for formality, but this is just a conversation.  I've been told it's easier to just chat than to have a sit down conversation.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I believe it was in the past at some point.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Doctor Suess was a pharmacist, I think, who wrote a famous series of children's books.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: Why would a doctor of chemical drugs write children’s books?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I'll relax someday, Sir, but for now, I think I best be more... unrelaxed; at least until I get the hang of this job.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Humans enjoy exploring their creative sides.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Very well.  Just don't want you to be too nervous.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Why would a botanist want to do engineering?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Oh no, Sir.  I'm just finding my place.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: You might know, do Scoo and Bee still refer to being "the watchdogs"?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: For an emotional response?  So illogical

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO/CO: Why would anyone want to do engineering?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: That is to further broaden my mind.  To learn all there is to learn, and what better diversity than the biological and the mechanical?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Laughs.::  CNS: Not my area either, but without them it's quite dangerous to fly in a metal cylinder faster than nature intended us to fly.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: True enough, Sir.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: Why would someone choose to delve into the emotional mind?  It would drive any logical being mad.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore>  ::She is feeling a bit insecure about coming face to face with the Head of Operations. She had heard that the Commander is very strict and would scream at the slightest infraction.  Jessica hopes she can just hand over the refit requests without tripping over her own two klutzy feet.  She aproaches the TL and enters.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Because it’s there.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: You have an emotional mind too.  You just choose, for some reason, to supress it.  You see emotion as a weakness.  I see it as a strength.  Each to his own, I suppose.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::thinks on that for a monent::  CNS: I do not understand your response. To simply state “cause it is there” has no meaning. Would you push a red button simply because it was there?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: I am going to need some assistance once I come up with a "response" to the request Pat put in.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Olson>  ::Steps out of the TL onto the bridge and walks up to the CEO::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore>  ::Upon entering the TL, she commands it to go the the Bridge, the TL complies and she nervously exits and makes her way to OPS.::  OPS: Here is the refit requests from the Operations Department.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: I just meant, we are explorers.  The emotional mind is just another place to explore.  Why climb a mountan?  Because, it’s there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: "It" meaning a large predator with your scent on it's mind?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: To simply clinb a mountain because it is there is illogical.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  I'm not sure I can help you there, Capt...  ::turns to the Crewman::   Crewman Jetmore:  Pardon me, Crewman, can't you see I'm in the middle of talking to the Captain?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I suppose that counts too but, that's what the Klingon is for.  In case we attract the wrong attention in our exploration.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::sees Olson and holds out his hand to take the PADD.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Olson>  ::hands the PADD over, thinking he hoped the Vulcan doesn’t ask for anything.  He don't like the Vulcan::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore>  ::She just stands there feeling tears well up.::  OPS:  Um, um, um.. I'm sorry, Ma'am.  ::she hands out the PADD with the refit requests.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Really?  You never did anything simply to prove you could?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Maybe climbing a mountain is fun for some.  I used to ski down the sides of snowy mountains.  It was fun, except for getting all that snow in your undershorts when you wipe out on the slopes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Crewman Jetmore/ OPS: No, don't worry.  My discussion was more musing.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: To know I can is enough.  To have to prove something is an emotional response that is counter productive.
::takes and the PADD.::  Olson: That is all.  :: not looking at him::
CNS: I do not require fun, counsilor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Well, apart from Counselor Daniels point of entertainment, what about do something to simply see if you could?  To test your limits?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: He's got some issues, huh? ::Indicates CEO with head gesture::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::nods in understanding to the CO while having her focus on the nervous crewman.::  Crewman Jetmore:  Crewman...What is your name?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> OPS:  Uh, Crewman Jessica Jetmore, Ma'am.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Checking out the girl talking to OPS::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Equations are what ,as you say, test my limits. Understaning those limits is what makes a proficient officer in engineering. If the calculations can be worked out, the task can be done. There is no question as to “if I can”.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If we, all species inclusive, didn't; what would be the point of having a Counselor?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Crewman Jetmore:  Ms. Jetmore, I appreciate you bringing me this but make sure I have your full attention.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: It's good to feel needed, Sir.  ::Smiles::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Olson>  ::thank goodness he didn't have to talk to him.  He tunrs and heads back to engineering::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Equations don't repair a cracked bulkhead.  They don't replace a damaged airlock.  Can you test how good your crew is at such emergency repairs using equations?  Or how good you are at them?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> OPS:  Yes, Ma'am.  ::begins to fidget nervously::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: I do not require your services Counselor.  I would not wish to take up your valuable time from the needful minds of the rest of the crew.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: You don't require fun, but you could have some if you wanted to, right?  Having fun is a skill a Vulcan possesses, right?  ::Still eyeing the girl at OPS::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Don't tell me a human and a Klingon could out do a Vulcan at something.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Replacement and repairs do not test. They are the normal dutieore:  One more thing, relax.  I understand  how you feel more than you can imagine, everyone was a newcomer to the Bridge at one time in their career. ::she smiles.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> ::smiles nervously::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: Fun is not a skill but wasted emotion that interferes with one’s thinking and cause misjudgement.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Jetmore: I bet you know how to have fun, don't you, Miss Ops person?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stage whispered.::  CNS: They say after first contact, the biggest problem the Cait ambassador had with the Vulcan was getting them to understand the phrase "over thinking the situation".

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Crewman Jetmore:  That's better, and you may go. Mention to your leader that this list will be considered.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: And it's is such a simple "equation" I'm surprised the Vulcans didn't think of it first.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> OPS: Thank you Ma'am.  ::turns to leave and nearly runs into the CNS::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Seriously though, the climbing is part of the repair skill set.  Some species find some satisfaction from the knowledge that they exceeded previous accomplishments.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Seems to me, Mr. Salor, fun is something you might want to reconsider.  You may think it useless or a waste of time, but if you had some fun, relaxed with members of your crew, the people you serve with, I think it makes us better at our jobs.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CNS: A job isn't worth doing if you can't enjoy doing it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: I'd stand between a hostile phaser and any of you, but I'd do it more happily if you were my friend.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: To relax my mind and allow the emotion to come forth would be a dangerous situation for all.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I agree, Mr. Q'ten.  The Klingons know how to celebrate, how to have fun.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: To experince some knowledge of a completed job rewards you with the fact that it was done.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I've always believed that emotions are a gauge on how the body, or the situation you are in, is going.  Not quite a "dummy light", nor an exact reading, but a general indicator.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CTO: And how to test their medical staff.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Jetmore: We should go have fun sometime while we're on the Starbase.  What do you say?

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CEO: I believe it is an old Earth saying that says "All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy."

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> CNS:  Um, I'm not sure.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
:;taking her resupply lists from the chief, she goes back to the TL and orders the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Me and this pretty lady from OPS are going to go hang out later.  You should join us.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Said emotions get in the way of dealing with different situations.  The lack of emotions cause the mind to react to more than one situation.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Jetmore: Sure you do.  I'm the new Counselor.  Everyone is curious about me.  You could get it all straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CTO: Hence the emotional statement.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CNS:  Sounds like fun.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
::enters the bridge and listens to the conversation. It sounds like the poor CEO is being picked on::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: But they let you know when to stop holding back.  Let you know when things are "for real".  I understand the Vulcan reliance on logic, even respect it, but the other side does have some validity.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
::walks over to OPS::  OPS:  Here are my requests for the flight deck.  ::hands them to her::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Thank you. ::takes the list:.::

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
Ensign:  You are relieved.  I will take over now.  ::waiting to take her seat at the helm::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO:How so captain? Logic has an answer for everything. I have never encountered a situation that logic did not serve as it should. If logic says it can't be done, then it can't be done. No emotion can tell me that.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: You could join us, Mr. Salor. Come hang out.  At least it will prove to us you don't dislike us.  You know how insecure us humans and Klingons can get.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> CNS:  Well, for now, I'm not that curious about you one bit, I've got a duty to perform and I intend to not get in trouble again.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: Being insecure is another emotion that causes unneeded problems.  And I neither like nor dislike anyone.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Jetmore: Who's in trouble with who and why you taking out on me?

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Ouch!!!

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  From what I have been hearing, it sounds like everyone wants to get to know you on a personal level, instead of the humorless CEO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Logic says that the Riker solution to the first Borg invasion was too risky.  Logic would say that many of the actions that go down into legend should never have been tried.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Tough room, huh?  You people always this welcoming?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> CNS:  During duty hours I am duty focused, and when I am not on duty, I do my off duty planning then.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Miss McIntyre. If they wish to know me, my personnel file is no secret. I have nothing to hide.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiling at CTO::  CTO: Looks like it’s just you and me buddy.  After shift, you know where the night life is on board the Cherokee, I hope.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Those are just words, black and white, we prefer the live person.  ::grins::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: And that is why your race has had so much unneeded death is your history,

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CNS: I'll just follow the loudest noises.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Jetmore: Another time, maybe.  Sorry to have upset you.  You're dismissed, dollface.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewman Jessica Jetmore> CNS:  We shall see.  ::she lets a small smile form on her face as she heads to the TL::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Issues.  Lots and lots of issues.  No wonder your last counselor left.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Sometimes emotions lead you to actions which logic says will fail more often than they succeed.  Death?  Yes, it follows from time to time.  But logical courses of action can be anticipated, emotional ones can bypass...

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: I have been on this ship for  2 years.  What else is needed to know that is already not known?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Counselor, when on duty please either use a crew members rank, name or position.  "Doll face" is a little...inappropriate for the bridge.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  there are plenty of new folks here that are new, we have not had the pleasure of your company.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: I guess I won't give up on trying to convince you.  Emotions are our friends.  ::Smiles at the CEO and then laughs, looking over to the CTO::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::stifles a snicker::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, Sir, but it's still very appropriate and I thought she could use a shot to the ego.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Is that invitaion open as I would like to join you?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::simply turns and goes back to duty::  All; Point. This converation has caused an emotional responce out of most of the Senior Staff and proven to me to be counter productive.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CEO: I don't think anyone is saying that relying on emotions is better than using logic, or vice versa.  There  has to be a balance.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
::just shakes her head at the CEO and smiles to herself;:

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
FCO: Yes ma'am, we'd love to have you.  I'll even buy the first round of what ever it is we drink around here on the Cherokee.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: What are we trying to produce?  We're just treking along, Mr. Salor.  Go with it.  You'll live longer.

Host FCO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Thank you... then see you later in the Pathways.
