Ship's Log, Stardate 11805.20, Captain Tio Ayidee recording.  The Cherokee is approaching a local space station in hopes of finding ways home for the refugees.  Aside from that, I am hoping to find more information about the Rabidus and their operation.

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

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: stands to a secondary station monitoring secondary protocols for the approaching maneuver to the Station::

CTO_LTJG says:
::Standing at the tactical station looking over the sensor readings::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, trying to sort through dozens of reports on what's been happening since our return while monitoring approach to the station.::  *All*: Status report.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Exiting the Turbolift and arriving on the bridge after checking on the Gamma Quadrant aliens.  He takes his seat::

CTO_LTJG says:
CO: Tactical sensors are showing nothing that would present a threat, sir.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: The Gamma Quadrant aliens are all resting comfortably in just about every nook and cranny I could fit an alien, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Nothing besides reports so frequent they are threatening to overload any PADD used to access them...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good to hear.  There is one report in here ::Holds up PADD.:: that needs attention now.  ::Stands up.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Attention on Deck!

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Stands up and at attention::

CTO_LTJG says:
::Snaps to attention::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::raises an eyebrow and modifies lightly his usual stiff position::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::stands up and comes to attention::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: This is a long time coming, but well deserved.  Orders I had sent for confirmation before the Rabidus attack happened and we had no way to get the orders until we returned.
However the confirmation did come through, so we have the ability to do this.  Counselor Daniels, for your outstanding service and performance of duty, you are promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade with all the rights and authority granted with said rank.
CNS: Congratulations Lieutenant, this is long over due.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::turns his head and looks to the new Lieutenant::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Aww gee, Captain, thanks.  This means a lot to me.

CTO_LTJG says:
CNS: Of course this means you're buying tonight 

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Hey, isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Well, a totally deserved promotion. ::moves and offers hand to the CNS::

CTO_LTJG says:
CNS: Unless I'm mistaken. it's the newly promoted individual that buys the first round.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CIV: Thank you, Sir.  ::Shakes the CIV's hand::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: More than deserved.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Fine, I'll buy you a Shirley Temple.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We can worry about who pays for the round once we have the time to actually unwind.  Luckily we should have some time once we get the refugees rides home and the medicine delivered.
CNS: How are the refugees settling in?

CTO_LTJG says:
CNS: I don't know any Shirley Temple, but I'll settle for a flagon of prune juice.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Fine, Sir and they are everywhere.  I even have one sleeping on my couch.
CTO: You got it.  One flagon of colon blow for the Klingon.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, and there are a few in my Ready Room also.  Too bad we didn't equip personnel transport pods in advance.

CTO_LTJG says:
CNS: On your couch?  Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, tentacles?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Laughs::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Do we have instructions from the station yet to guide the transfer?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Not yet.  I'm sure we'll have it soon.
CO:  We are just within hailing distance of the station.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  OPS: Very good, let me know when you have the instructions.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::goes back to his duties, remembering his first promotion aboard the old Kootenai Station::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Have you been able to put together a procedure on countering the Rabidus weapon for implementation by Starfleet and other people at risk?

M6SS_OPS says:
::Hailing the Cherokee::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::notices that the Cherokee is being hailed::  CO:  The station is hailing us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: On screen.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::puts it on screen::

M6SS_OPS says:
COM: Cherokee: Please, identify.  We do not recognize your vessel.  Please state your purpose.

ACTION: The face of a purple alien in a uniform appears on the screen.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: M6SS OPS: This is Captain Ayidee of the USS Cherokee from the United Federation of Planets.  We have refugees from an apparent slavery ring and we are trying to find ways to get them home.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::watches the screen::

M6SS_OPS says:
COM: Cherokee: CO: Welcome to the Magnus Six Space Station, Cherokee.  We were told of your fore coming by the Earhart, which proceeded your arrival.  You are cleared for docking, Dock Five, Berth Three.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: M6SS OPS: Thank you Magnus Six Space Station.  Docking at Dock five, Berth Three as directed.  Thank you, Cherokee out.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: He... or she seemed friendly enough.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: Dock Five, Berth three.
CNS: What, no guess as a gender neutral?  The Axanar might not like their gender being left out.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the talk between the CNS and the CO, guessing it will turn into a politically incorrect one::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Whatever it was, Q'ten will date it.

CTO_LTJG says:
CNS: Excuse me? It probably has a smooth forehead.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: You'd look good with purple.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Before this goes too far, any precautions we need to take before we dock and start unloading the refugees?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: make sure all our bio scanning sensors are working correctly. We do not want to be accused of spreading any contaminating agent.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Most of the aliens should be able to get home on their own from here.  Some may need help, either from us or folks on the station.  Then some of our guests should be place in a real psychiatric hospital.

CTO_LTJG says:
All: Assuming there is such a thing.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Hopefully they can get help on their home worlds.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Good thinking.  
OPS: Have a crew double check them, level 3 diagnostic if we can get it done before departure.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Aye, Sir  ::does as asked::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I assume your staff has those beings noted?  If you didn't know some needed it I don't think you'd have mentioned it.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: We have the worst cases in our Sickbay, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: You have to wonder, perhaps "Pleasant View" was once truly a health care facility and then they decided to, shall we say, alter their goals?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: They saw a way to turn their asylum into a real money maker.

CTO_LTJG says:
CO: I still think we should have blasted that facility into dust.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: We would have needed much bigger phaser weapons to overload.

ACTION: The Cherokee docks with a slight bump.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::feels the slight bump on the floor::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Plus there were likely civilians in the area.  Without taking the time to identify targets the risk was too great.

ACTION: The Earhart is hailing the Cherokee.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The Earhart is hailing, I'll put it on screen.  ::puts it on screen::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
COM: Cherokee: Welcome, Cherokee.  Again we'd like to thank you for the rescue.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Earhart: Price: Thank you for the welcome and paving the way for our arrival.  Hopefully we can get both ships home sooner rather than later.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
COM: Cherokee: CO: If you would like to accompany us to Zolarian Prime, the Cherokee is welcome.  However, we would like to complete our mission.  I understand the Rota Teq vaccine is on board your ship?  We're ready to retake possession.  Then, we'd like to leave right away.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Earhart: Price: If you don't mind we'd like to accompany you.  Our mission was to get you home so there is no reason we can't both finish our task.
