Ship's Log, Stardate 11706.04, Captain Ayidee recording.  The Cherokee is back at Research Station 82, preparing to get back underway for Starbase 33.  Our on duty teams are working to assist in repairs to leave the Station and the Newton in as good shape as possible before we leave.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Station, walking to the Operations Center.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Station, in the Operations Center.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::passing around the Station Operations Center, trying to make himself useful::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: in the Shuttlebay on the Newton, walking up to Captain Ingfast ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> Crewman: No, the shuttle guidance system maintenance can wait until we're underway.  The Bay Doors only open half way, prioritize Crewman.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Ingfast: Hello sir! ::smiles and snaps to::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::On the Cherokee, in his office, doing some paperwork.  chopwl' is lying on the floor napping nearby::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Station Operations and walks to Commander Friedheim.::  Friedheim: Repairs progressing, Commander?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> FCO: Ah, Ensign, good to see you.  Glad to see you made it through.  Heard you guys got those raiders pretty hard.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Friedheim> CO: We should be back under full operational status within a few days Captain.  Thank you for your assistance with that.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Ingfast: Aye, sir. They got what was coming to them. :: looks around ::  Good to see the Newton made it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> FCO: Lucky or skillful, I'll leave that to the gods to figure out.  But we will be docked up for a bit once we get mobile enough to reach Dry Dock.  Tough ship.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Preparing a report for Starfleet medical as to the overall psychological condition of the USS Dirk survivors::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Ingfast: Sir, I've wanted to ask you if there was a spot for me to help out, although I think this is more up for the repair crews at this point.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Friedheim: My on duty crews are trying to provide assistance where we can before we depart.  From what I'm hearing most of the work is on the ships that took part.  Your teams have most of the pressing station work done.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Infgast: I haven't received any orders from Starfleet so it seems I'm still assigned to the Cherokee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> FCO: There is much to be done, but yeah, not official yet but getting the forms in order.  Starfleet tells me you will be reassigned there.  At least for now.  Your skills are needed out there, not in space dock the next few months.  For now, we'll take what we can get.  Sooner we pass minimum Starfleet standards we're getting underway for dry dock.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::decides to stop lurking around the OPS center and to return to the Cherokee::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Ingfast: I... see. Well...  at least I can help out here for a bit before I ship back out.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Finishes the report by making recommendations for further psychological treatment for several of the Dirk crew suffering from shock due to the loss of family members::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> FCO: That would be appreciated.  Was sorry when I heard they were moving you on.  Understand the logic behind the order but always tough to lose good people.  At least this time it's just moving on.  But maybe you could help us get the shuttle bay transit ready?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she sees that the Captain has things under control in the Stations Operations Center so she decides to return to the Cherokee to check on her staff::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Ingfast: Aye. It was eventually going to happen but it's still going to be tough. ::looks around the shuttle bay::  I'll get right to it.  ::looks at the Captain:: Thank you for everything, sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Closes out and sends the report as confidential to Starfleet medical::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#FCO: No need for thanks, it was an honor to have you aboard.  Hopefully we will cross paths again.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# Ingfast: I'm certain we will, sir. ::looks around at the mess::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> ::Nods and gets back to the repairs.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Goes and sits on the floor of his office next to the ocelot and begins to scratch her behind the ears::  chopwl': I really thought he would have been back by now, girl.  I know you want to go home.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves on from Station Operations and moves to the station's sensor bay to assist repairs there.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::after returning to the Cherokee, she located Crewmen Jessica Jetmore::  Crewman_Jetmore:  How are doing on your assigned duties, Ms. Jetmore?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@<Crewmen_Jetmore>  OPS:  I'm about finished with the second pass of the full diagnostics of all systems then going to start a third pass just to be sure.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@Crewman_Jetmore:  Excellent.  After you finish with that third pass, take a few hours off and relax.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@<Crewmen_Jetmore>  OPS:  Thanks Commander.  ::smiling::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: heads over to a shuttle to assist with a diagnostic ::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@Crewman_Jetmore:  You earned it.  ::she says as she is walking away to find other lucky member of her staff::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Works with the repair crews, trying to learn a bit about the "next generation" of sensor systems in use here.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Gets an inspiring idea::  chopwl': I know what we can do.  Let's go have some real fun.  Let's go visit Mister Plotz across the hall.  ::Gets up off the floor and has the cat follow him out the office door::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes across the hall to the office of Mister Melvin Plotz, the Counseling Department's clerk and enters with chopwl'::  Plotz: Hiya, Melvin.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: completes an engine diagnostic on the shuttle ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: CNS: Get that beast out of my office immediately.  ::Grabs a tissue from a box on his desk::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Plotz: She's not bothering you.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<chopwl':: Brushes up against Mister Plotz's legs over and over::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Plotz: See, she likes you.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: goes over the flight systems for the shuttle once more to make sure things look good ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: CNS: I don't care, you imbecilic yutz.  I'm allergic to "it".  ::Blows his nose in the tissue::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Plotz: You are?  I didn't know that.  ::He knew that::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: CNS: I hope it's eaten.  It’s looking at my leg like it's a ham or something.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: finished up with this shuttle and pops out to look at another shuttle in the bay ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Starts running a diagnostic on Long Range Sensor pallet 5 after it comes back online.  All systems appear to be working but the diagnostic is providing insight into the sensor's capabilities.:

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Plotz: Oh, don't worry.  She wouldn't eat you.  She likes lean meats.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::boards the Cherokee and heads to his quarters to leave his duffle bag there::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::after making sure everyone was doing their duties, properly, she heads to the Lounge to watch everything out the windows::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>:: Sneezes::  CNS: Get out of here, you little brat.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Plotz: I haven't done what I came to do.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Plotz>: What do you want!!!  ::Sneezes again::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: takes one last look around the Newton ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# ::whispers:: Get better, baby....

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
# :: looks at Ingfast busily talking with a crewman, smiles, turns and leaves the Newton ::
