Ship's Log, Stardate 11706.11, Captain Tio Ayidee recording.  The Cherokee is returning to Starbase 33 after its most recent mission.  Once there we will have a bit of time to resupply and get set up before our next mission, but likely we will be back at it before long.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, reviewing reports from all departments.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::On the bridge, left of the Captain's chair::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
::at the helm monitoring their progress::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aOPS> All: We have been given docking instructions, we are assigned to berth 9.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aOPS: Understood.
FCO: Bring us in at your leisure.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::standing by a secondary station on Bridge, hands behind his back::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
CO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: drops the Cherokee from impulse and moves in on RCS to Docking Berth 9 ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: That mission was a bit more trying than first anticipated, but I think we wrapped it as cleanly as we could manage.  Any final thoughts on it, or what might come from it?

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
::moves the Cherokee into Docking Berth 9, engaging docking clamps::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
CO: Docking clamps engaged. We are secure, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Well done.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: My first conclusion would be... Those skirmishes are illogically costly in lives without a meaningful end.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: We all thought the same thought.  What if Kreak wasn't acting alone?  He had a fleet.  Could he have been working for someone else?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Kreak's house wasn't doing too good.  How could they get a hold of a fleet of ships and the crew to man them.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
::runs a quick Level 5 diagnostic of the helm and navigation systems ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: His reading of the Tactical Situation was poor, certainly.  I think he over estimated his fleet's capability.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I would say that he might be a pawn on a major plan. Maybe we haven't meet the master mind yet.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
::everything comes back all clear::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That isn't the first time I heard that question, and it is a good one.  Starfleet Intelligence reports they are already looking into it.  The High Council is a bit less open, but it is thought they are looking into it also.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: waits for the next helmsman to come on over and relieve him ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Well then, I guess the matter is in good hands.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I hope so.  Unfortunately as it is very...uncertain, the odds of tracking it down aren't as good as they would be if we had a name.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Once we are secure here you are all free to handle anything you need to take care of.  Just keep certain your crews are ready to go ahead if called upon.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: is relieved by Ens. Crosby, heads right over to the TL, jumping in ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: I guess we should count ourselves lucky.  The Cherokee doesn't need a whole lot of repairs like usual, when we pull into port.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: takes the TL to the main Shuttlebay ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, Kreak's forces concentrated on what they perceived as less durable targets.  I suppose he was looking to take guns out of the fight, so in that regard he was tactically sound.  Just his overall take n the situation was off.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: arrives on deck 4 and heads into the Shuttlebay ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: He was definitely 'off', Sir.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: reviewing the Shuttlebay inventory and status of the shuttles stored there ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: For now, as usual, we need to put it behind us for now.  We can try to keep an eye on things but so many issues to keep an eye on, not sure how much there is left for us to do.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: If you don't need me for anything, I'll be "off" myself, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All:  Of course. Take some time and get your crews in order, and take some time off.  New orders will be here before too long.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: to self ::  Two Type-16 shuttlepods...check, check.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: :: nods:: Aye, sir. ::keeps his usual poker face expression::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Disappears into the Turbolift::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: heads down the bay a bit, towards the Work Bees ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: to self ::  Two Work Bees.... check, check.

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: moves towards the personnel shuttles ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: boards the Type-10 shuttle and takes the helm ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: initiates a Level 3 diagnostic on the shuttle's systems ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::paces around the Bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hands Bridge over to OOD and heads to Ready Room to wrap up a reports and review some Intel reports.::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: inspects the engines, giving them a once-over ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::decides to make something useful of his time and heads off the Bridge towards his quarters. Some paperwork is piling up on his desk::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: level 3 diagnostic comes back all good ::  self: engines good, shuttle is good. check.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Arrives in his quarters and takes a sonic shower::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: leaves the shuttle and boards one of the two Type-9 shuttles ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looking at the Intel Reports, realizes the odds of catching anything in them that might point to Kreak's source is like finding a Nanite in a chondrite asteroid.::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: looks at the itinerary and sees the remaining shuttles only need level-5 diagnostics :: self: well... this will be quick...

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: runs a level-5 diagnostic on the first type-9 shuttle ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: first shuttle clears, heads over to the second type-9 shuttle ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives at his quarters, enters and sits on his personal desk, and start scrolling the screen of his PADD::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Puts on a clean uniform, checks his look in the mirror and then, runs a hairbrush through his hair before exiting his quarters, purposely avoiding contact with the cat::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: initiates a level-5 diagnostic on the second type-9 shuttle ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: this shuttle, too, is all clear ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: steps off, heading towards the first of four type-8 shuttles ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: initiates a level-5 diagnostic on the first type-8 shuttle ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: was day-dreaming a bit and sees the level-5 diagnostic was finished minutes ago ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: everything is all clear...  heads over to the second type-8 ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Is on Starbase 33 walking around on the level of station where they keep the fun stuff::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: runs the level-5 diagnostic on the second type-8 ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: diagnostic comes back all clear, heads over to the third type-8 shuttle ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Closes the Intel Reports and reviews the final reports from departments on the trip back.  Signs off on them and shuts down the console.::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: executes a level-5 diagnostic on the third shuttle ::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: third shuttle comes back okay... heads over to the last type-8 shuttle and runs a level-5 diagnostic ::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Sees three young ladies walk into a juice bar and decides to investigate the situation further::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Leaves Ready Room and starts a post mission walk through of the ship.::

FCO_Ens_Oldman says:
:: last diagnostic is all clear...  heads over to Shuttlebay operations with the inspection results ::
