Ship's Log, Stardate 11505.31, Tio Ayidee recording.  The ship has been given orders to investigate the discovery of a strange bit of material found in a deep space mining operation in the Altrius Star system.  The operation is not equipped to analyze such an item and has asked Starfleet's assistance.  We are to be that assistance required.

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

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
@::just standing out the airlock to the Cherokee thinking of when he stepped off the last time::  Self: It is agreeable to be returning.     :: and steps through the airlock::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, reviewing the reports of ship's readiness and wondering just what the debris found out there is.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Sitting in her office in sickbay, going over medical records::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Enters reception office and approaches Mister Plotz' desk.  Junior CNS Hayley is standing nearby:: Plotz/Hayley: I've finished with my sessions for now.  I'll be on the bridge if needed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: All stations report status.  We are scheduled to depart shortly.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::steps into the nearest TL:: Computer: Bridge.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hayley>: Plotz: Didn't you have something to say to Ensign Daniels, Melvin?

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Pauses and sighs softly before tapping her badge:: *CO*: Sickbay is always ready.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::the TL moves off and he shifts the weight of the carryon bag on his shoulder::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: Hayley: Oh, yeah.  ::Doesn't sound like he's too happy about it::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge, at OPS, making sure the supplies for the upcoming journey are arriving and having them secured as quickly they are received.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: CNS: I just wanted to say thank you for all you did while we was captive.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Plotz: Oh, no problem.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The last of the supplies are being secured as we speak, Sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: CNS: However, I do feel you could have gotten that metal grate off faster.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hayley>: Plotz: Give him a break.  He had a broken wrist.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*/ OPS: Excellent, hopefully this will be a straight forward mission.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: Hayley: There was nothing wrong with his right hand.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles at the Captain in a manner as if saying, "Now, you done it."::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::the TL stops and the doors open to the bridge, he steps out and takes a quick gander before stepping to the captain::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Only can smile after that:: Hayley: I'll be on the bridge.  ::Exits::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns at the sound of the Turbolift opening.::  CEO: Ah, there he is.  Welcome back, Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::goes and approaches the captain holding out a PADD for him::   CO: Thank you captain,  my orders.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the PADD and signs off on it.::  CEO: Then officially welcome back.  We are about to depart for the Altrius system.  But if you need a few minutes to get up to speed before we depart just let me know.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<EO_Erickson>  :: in engineering::  All:  He's here, and Tibbitts get that gum from out from under the console.
.
CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hayley>:: Slaps the back of Melvin's head and goes to her office::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
CO: I read over the mission brief, sir.  Now if you will excuse me I need to report to Main Engineering to make ready for departure.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CEO: It's good to have you back Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Tibbitts>  :: looks to Erickson::  Erickson: Funny.   :: as she ready's to transfer to ship's power::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Then get to it, the operation could use some answers sooner than later.  Welcome aboard, it is good to have you back.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::nods to the captain and walks back to the TL::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Steps off Turbolift and onto bridge quickly.  Almost runs into a Vulcan::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Do we have clearance to depart once Engineering gives us the final green light?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Oh, hello, Mister Salor.  I heard you was coming back to us.  Welcome home.  ::Gives the Vulcan a warm hug::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::stops dead in his tracks::   CNS: Mr. Daniels.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::stands there with his arms straight down and pulls his head back a little::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  We do, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Tibbitts> *OPS* ready to go to ships power.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Notices the 'no hug back'::  CEO: Oh yeah, I nearly forgot.  You're a work in progress.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Look, Q'ten, our old drinking buddy is back.  ::pointing to CEO::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*Tibbitts*:  Understood.  ::she relays that information to the Station OPS, and the umbilical lines are disconnected.::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
CNS: It is alright counselor. My work is always in progress, Now I have to get back to it.  ::Looks to the Klingon and nods::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Okay, I guess we'll see you 'round the playground.  ::Gets out of CEO's way::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The leash is gone, so we can roam freely.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Tibbitts> :: watching the power stabilize and holding at 100%::   Erickson: We are good to go and holding steading.
CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Yes, I see that. ::grins::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Then take us out.  Thrusters until clear of station umbra, then one quarter impulse until safe warp distance.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Takes his place on the bridge, noticing the CMO is not there::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<FCO> CO: Aye Captain, thrusters activated, pulling away from station.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::steps in the TL thinking that ENS Daniels has not changed at all. a mental smile appears in his head,   and orders the TL to engineering::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Erickson>  :: Monitoring the warp drive making the warp engine ready::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Keeps sorting through medical records while various MO's bring in inventory PADDs and updates on patients.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Hugging a Vulcan is like hugging an ironing board.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: I wouldn't know. I've never hugged an ironing board.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CNS: Well, it’s not good, they making lousy dance partners too.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Once clear bring us to Warp 8.
CNS: Not always true.  Some forms of dance are greatly aided by the logic and sense of timing.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CO/CNS: I've never thought of dancing as logical.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::the TL doors open to ME and he steps out and lays his bag down just outside the door and walks in::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO/CO: Me either.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Erickson> ::sees Salor::  CEO: Lieutenant, glad to have you back.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Of course I've never thought of anything that was fun as logical.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Especially the way we do it.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS: Timing, rhythm, all have roots in logic.  Not all forms of course, but the more formal ones?  It is pretty obvious to me...but then again, I'm looking more as a physical scientist.  Again, probably a lot of forms where my way of thought do not apply as well.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Erickson: Perhaps:  ::pauses and looks at the warp core primed and awaiting the button push of the flight control::   I want a full report of everything done at the station.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS/CO: Klingons dance the same way we fight.  With Passion!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: We should take the Captain with us next time we go clubbing, Salor too.  They both need to have some fun and stop being so logical for one evening.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Tibbitts>  :: glances at the CEO with a smile on her face thinking it's really glad to have him back::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: We'll just make it Salor’s welcome back party.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not certain that would be so enjoyable once put in practice.  Some of us are less fun at such events than others.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Having fun is easy, just don't think so much.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CO: Just check the inhibition at the door.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CO: I am not one to argue with the experts, but not so sure that is as easy as it sounds.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: If you're afraid of looking silly, you'll never have any fun.  I heard that somewhere.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Erickson>  CEO: Aye sir, I’ll get it as soon as we on the way.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CO: You gotta dance like no one can see you!

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Taking a break from her work, she stands and leaves sickbay to head to the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: We should run one of the dance club programs in the holodeck tonight cuz, now I feel like dancing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Shakes head.::  CTO/ CNS: I will leave that sort of living to the young.  It is not a place for the rest of us.  I may tag along however.  Just some time to relax is often good.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: You'd be more than welcomed to, Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Steps onto the Turbolift:: Computer: Bridge. ::Waits patiently::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Maybe Mister and Mrs. Nash would come.  They could show us how to do those old people dances.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::laughing:: CO: You can't be that old sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Steps onto the bridge and looks around:: CO: I miss anything?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::picks up an engineering PADD and makes a minor adjustment on the warp reactor to fine tune it::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Age comes at different rates for different beings.  Chronologically, perhaps not that old.  But some lives age you far faster than others.  ::Sits.::  And some portions of life move it even faster.
CMO: No Commander.  We are just departing system and discussing what is fun for what ages...not sure I said that right.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees CMO arrive:: CMO: Hey, Talora... I mean, Commander Talora.  You like dancing?

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Blinks slowly:: CNS: Dancing? ::She looks down at the floor for a moment wondering how to put it:: I...don't know how to dance.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Wait!  What?  We'll I can sure teach you.  I have great musicality and know some serious moves.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  The only dancing Kevin and I do always lead to something else.  ::she says with a smile.::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says: 
Self: This should be amusing.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: I get that but, why not start out on a dance floor then, take it home?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<FCO> CO: Clear of the station, bringing us to Warp 8 as ordered.  We are just about 145 and a half hours out, or about 6 days, Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Smiles at the OPS's comment:: CNS: I might tag along. I usually played the music not danced to it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: I feel like living a little.  Being captive of a bunch of crazies makes you appreciate all the time you have.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Why not do both at once, like musical theater?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I only said that to put everyone on notice on what to expect of us, how did you put it, oh yeah "old people", We are only as old as we feel.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::turns as the lights of the warp core start moving at a faster rate as the ships goes to warp speed.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: I didn't mean nothing by it.  I was just thinking you guys might know some moves I don't.  I'm always willing to learn...
CMO: or teach.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Smiles softly:: CNS: We'll see.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: I think I'll make it a mental health order.  Everyone report to the holodeck tonight at 2100 hours.  ::Smiles, hoping he'll get away with that::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  We only do what is right for us, so what is right for you may be something totally different.  At best, my relationship with Kevin should only inspire others to find their own happiness.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: I'm happy and I have fun wherever I go.  I had some fun while on the Bajoran ship, I'm having fun now just goofin' around with all of you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Would it be easier to do it in the deck 7 lounge?  More room, enough for most of the off duty crew to get together if you really want to go that large.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: The lounge is carpeted.  You can't dance on a carpet.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: When you mentioned taking Salor and the Captain out for a little fun I didn't know it would incite a philosophical debate. 

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: We need a hard wood floor and lots of flashing colorful lights... maybe a bubble machine.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I would think you could dance anywhere, but again I don't find arguing with those I know to be more informed than myself to be a good use of time so I will yield to your expertise.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Ooooh! Can we get one of those glittery orbs?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I didn't think it would.  You think you have a tough job?  Try getting the senior staff to let their hair down for one night.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: What does ones hair have to do with having fun?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CTO: Bubble machine?  Glittery orbs?  The more I hear the less I think I know about such things and the more convinced I am that I should not argue with you.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Earth expression, dude, don't you start.
CO: You have to set an atmosphere to set the mood.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
CO: I'm in the same boat as you, sir...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Well then, 2100 hours it is.  Any requests for dress choice for the event?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yeah, dress to impress.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Wonders if she can draft Rhapsody to help with an outfit....::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Invite rhapsody to join us, bet she knows how to cut loose.
