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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walking through the corridors to Transporter Room 2 with travel bag slung across back.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::back at his quarters, meditating if it would be better to leave the ship or remain aboard::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Isaac makes his way back to his quarters from watching the Chancellor's party dematerialize and be transported down to Earth, now get ready for actual shore leave, and at home to begin with!::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after the last item on her checklist was checked off, she heads out to enjoy shore leave.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::sits on his small desk and checks the latest SF intel reports while thinking on his dilemma... to go or not to go::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Transporter Room 2.:: Transporter chief: Station 1813, Arouette forest hiking station.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Arrives at his destination via the transporter.  Rematerializes in front of the front door to his villa in Switzerland::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Rings the doorbell, even though it is his property::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she stops by her quarters to grab her pre-packed shore leave bag and she heads for the transporter room to beam to the station.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Entering his quarters, he throws on his civilian clothes, packs his travel bag, takes a look around - Almost forgets his comm badge...grabs it and attaches it to his shirt, and heads to Transporter Room 2::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives at the Arouette station as the senses are almost overwhelmed by the sounds, smells and sights of the rain forest.  Looks about and randomly picks a trail to start walking along.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::The door opens and wally enters the domicile with luggage in hand::  Hensforth: Hello Hensforth.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Milton Hensforth>: CNS: Welcome home, Sir.  Everything has been prepared for your arrival.  ::Sees some of the staff standing in the great hall::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nothing new on the reports.  Stands up and watches through the observation window::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Isaac enters the Transporter Room 2 and joins the line that has started for being beamed down to Earth, He is 4th, 3rd, then 2nd, then next...Now he is on the pad of the Transporter, he tells the Chief.::  Chief: Boston, by the Bay - anywhere - surprise me! ::grins.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Pulls out a PADD and brings up a map of the trail complex.  Finds the nearest zone where climbing is permitted and heads in that direction.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Greets members of his domestic staff::  Wyss: Hello Mrs. Wyss.  ::He hugs the plump woman::  You are looking as beautiful as ever.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Reaches the climbing point and starts into the trees, catching glimpses of small creatures darting about and keeping just out of sight.  Resists the urge to rush ahead.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Regina Wyss>:: Blushes:: CNS: Oh, Sir.  It is good to have you home.  I've prepared all of your favorite foods.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Wyss: Even the little date filled cookies?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Wyss>: Of course.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::decides to remain aboard.. use the time to make some Kohlinar meditation exercises::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Isaac begins to feel the dematerialization beginning, he is caught in the matter stream, which feels like being in a wind tunnel, the room and the transporter chief fade as the stream transports him to the targeting point of Boston Bay.  The matter stream then deposits Isaac on a pier jutting out into Boston Harbor, Isaac materializes next to a few people fishing, he waves and turns to exit the pier and head for home::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Shakes the hand of a younger woman:: Brandis: Hello, Margie.  You're looking good.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Climbs higher to the top of the canopy and takes a seat.  Looks about and sees the skyline of Monrovia on the horizon.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Margie Brandis>: So, good to see you, Sir.  Your old bedroom is all prepared for you, unless you want to stay in your Grandfather's old room?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Brandis: No, my room is fine.  ::Shakes the hand of an elderly man standing next to the maid::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::The smell of the harbor, the sounds of the seagulls mewing , and real air, real gravity - everything is real::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Marty: Marty, it is good to see you, my old friend.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Marty>: CNS: Good to see you too, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she freshens up in her room before heading out to see what sparks her interest.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Leans back and pulls out a pair of binoculars and takes a look about.  Then turns the binoculars to take a look and see if he can spot any ships or stations in orbit.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Marty: How are the dogs?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Marty>: CNS: They're great.  Of course, there's only a couple you would remember but, a good team.  Will you be wanting to take them out for a run while you're here?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees what appears to be Starbase 1, although it is impossible to be sure with this lack of resolution.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Marty: I would love to do that.  Maybe tomorrow?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Marty>: CNS: Tomorrow would be good.  We're expecting snow tonight.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::goes to the replicator and orders a hot cup of Vulcan Tea::

ACTION: Liberia, Boston and Switzerland all get precipitation, gentle snow in Switzerland and Boston and a heavier rain in Liberia.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Feels the rain start to fall, first gently then at a heavier rate.  ::Puts the binoculars and PADD back in the bag to protect them and sits back to enjoy the free flowing, natural water.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::As Isaac is walking home, it begins to rain, "Of course" he thinks to himself, and then he remembers that rain is actually a blessing, so he smiles and begins to walk briskly home::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Margie>:: Looks out the window::  All/CNS: Tonight nothing.  It's snowing now.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: That's excellent.  I wanted to do some skiing while here too.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hears the rain forest come alive as the rain starts.  The sounds of many birds and mammals greatly increases.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Hensforth>: While you're here, there are household matters to be discussed, Sir...

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Hensforth: and we will get to it.  I promise.  Right now, I'd like to go to my room and change out of my uniform and into something more suitable.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::changes his clothes into Vulcan civilian ones and prepares the room for the meditation exercises::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Hensforth>: I'll take your suitcase upstairs...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Isaac turns up the walkway to his parent’s house, and knocks on the door.  He waits, and then his mother opens the door, she is surprised beyond all believe she grabs her son, and gives him a big hug, she yells for Isaac's father, who come to the door he yells "ISAAC!!" and he gives his son a bear-hug, and they all walk back inside the home to fully enjoy the reunion::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Grabs the suitcase:: 
Hensforth: I got it Mister Hensforth.  
All: It's good to be home and great to be seeing all of you.  ::Takes the suitcase and then, disappears up the staircase::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs bag and heads back in under the trees, feeling the water still falling but not quite as hard.  Climbs about the trees, enjoying that it is not just a sterile ladder in a Jeffries Tube under foot and hand.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Mrs. Wyss>::Watches CNS go:: All: He looks every bit like his grandfather.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
<Hensforth>: Mrs. Wyss: I don't see it.  ::Walks away::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Begins to move faster, still not as fast as a few years ago but at enough of a pace to feel the limbs stretch, enough of a pace to know it will be felt tomorrow.::

ACTION: The others shake their heads and go back to their work.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::dim the room lights and then light up some candles::
