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

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::on the bridge, and Eng1 console, overseeing the remote main display board of ship's systems::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::On Bridge, running a last set of scans on the system both for the final report to the Kepler and to ensure that all is good for our departure.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::at Secondary Tactical keeping an eye on the surrounding areas.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::At Sec/Tac Console, monitoring sensors and internal scanners::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
TO: Keep a constant passive scanning...

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CIV:  Aye Sir!

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::At OPS checking on the ETA of the Kepler::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, the USS Kepler have just entered the system. Will be here very soon, sir.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Sir! I have them on sensors

Host Captain_Ingfast says:
@COM: Cherokee: This is the Kepler to USS Cherokee, we are entering system now.  You may consider yourself relieved.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Good news.  Let's get all our data together to send to them.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Sensors show no change in the surrounding space.  We should be clear to depart as long as we keep Warp fields within reason.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: Science reports on the system prepared to send, do we want to make it a single data package?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
SO: I think it would be the best way to deal with it, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
COM: Ingfast:: We stand relieved.  We'll have some data to send you, then we'll be on our way.

Host Captain_Ingfast says:
@COM: Cherokee: Hope the ride wasn't too rough, Captain.  Sounds like you had an interesting time. More than one planet has a curse along the lines of "May you live in interesting times."

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: Yes sir.  Science report is Cauldron-181 file.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
SO: Very well. I will send it to the Kepler.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
COM: Ingfast: It has been one for the books.  We wish you luck in your investigation.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Turns to look at the image of Captain Ingfast and nods to him. Tries to see if anyone left on the Kepler's Bridge is familiar.::

Host Captain_Ingfast says:
@COM: Cherokee: And we wish you a smooth ride home and luck in your next.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::opens a comm channel and inputs his codes to transmit the file to the USS Kepler::

ACTION: The Kepler enters an orbit 10000 KM from the Cherokee.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
COM: Ingfast: Thank you.  We'll get that data to you right away.

Host Captain_Ingfast says:
@COM: Cherokee: Many thanks, Captain.  Kepler out.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: You may send the Kepler our files when ready.  Make sure they get everything.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir. Sending it ... now... ::taps on the console:: Waiting for receiving confirmation.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Another successful Mission Sir!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Yes, thanks to you and your team.  Congratulations on a job well done.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Careful Sir, Doorty says a mission isn't over until the team hits the pub back at home base.  I think he's a bit superstitious there but still.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  When one is relieved, that is when the mission is over Lieutenant Trix!  

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: File sent and received by the USS Kepler. ::closes comm::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: It's not me, it's the oldest of the "has-beens" in my head.  Or gut rather.  ::Grins.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, we are ready for departure, warp speed at your command Sir!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Thank you, Captain Marek.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  ::Smiles::  Understood! Thank you Lieutenant.
 
SO_Lt_Trix says:
Self: Yeah yeah, you are all still young and spry in spirit, I know. Jeesh, learn to take a joke.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Set a course for Starbase 33, Mister Alvarado.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Thank you, Commander.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: I'm glad to be on a regular starship again, but I kinda envy the Kepler.  Those sensors with time to work on this system's quirks?  Fell...er, Captain Infgast is going to be happier than a worm in soup.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir!  

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: On the double, sir. ::taps and taps again:: Course ready, sir. Waiting for your command.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
SO: Would that worm be drowning in the soup? ::rises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Engage at Warp 7.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> CO: Warp 7, engaged.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Watches as the sensor readings of the New Cauldron system fall speedily to the rear of the ship's sensor screen as the ship goes to warp 7, now looking forward towards Starbase 33::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: What? Oh, sorry, it's a host initiate slang term referring to the Symbionts.  The water they live in between hosts is rather murky, almost like a soup.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Self: Yes, of course it isn't accurate, that's why it's slang.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
SO: Oh, oh, I see.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> ::makes a minor adjustment to the course::

Host Starbase_33 says:
#COM: Cherokee: Starbase 33 to Cherokee, long range sensors show you enroute.  When you arrive please dock at maintenance port 3.  We've got orders for a mission refit for you to prepare for next mission.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
COM: Starbase 33: Understood.  Maintenance port 3.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> :.makes the proper corrections to arrive to SB33 directly to Maintenance Port 3::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
All: I wonder what kind of refit they're talking about.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Shrugs.:: OPS: Not sure.  We could ask if we were really interested.  They might even answer.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: Some new state of the art , top of the line, weaponry would not be that bad. ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV/SO:  My compliments to you both, as the Captain stated, good work on working together and finding the resolution to the issues.
 
CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Thanks Commander, but the merit is only from Lieutenant Trix.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: No need for thanks, it was not only my job, but it was fun.  ::Smiles broadly.::  We got to see something I don't know if anyone ever looked at before.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
COM: Starbase 33: Care to elaborate on just what kind of refit you're talking about?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV/SO:  Team had the merit, the best is that we worked it out together as a team! 

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
ALL: Last time we were at Starbase 33 they attached ugly mission pods to our ship.  Now what?

Host Starbase_33 says:
#COM: Cherokee: We have a new lower sensor pod and two dorsal tactical pods.  Plus we've been asked to install some specialized equipment into one of the laboratories.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::whispers:: specialized equipment... two words that could mean... troubles ahead...

Host Starbase_33 says:
#COM: Cherokee: Pods are your usual setup from my memory, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
COM: Starbase 33: All that, huh?

Host Starbase_33 says:
#COM: Cherokee: Yes sir.  Lab equipment seems to be altering your secondary physics lab into a forensics lab.  And no sir, I don't know why.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV:  Our starship design is for having mission pods as part of the mission profile, nothing out of the ordinary, just being used a little more than normal.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
COM: Starbase 33:  Okay, ours is not to question why.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Well, you know me... I tend to be a little ... paranoid...

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> ::thinks:: That Vulcan is really, really peculiar...

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Forensics lab?  I love new "toys", but never had access to one of those outside of Starbases.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
ALL: I guess we'll find out when we get there.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV:  It gives us variety in the missions we can support, I like it, even our bridge can be changed out to match the mission

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: I understand. Well this is a extremely versatile ship design, despite it being a bit old one.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Yes sir.  But it is intriguing.  Getting a report on crew rotation for science, we're getting 3 Forensic techs assigned for the next mission as well.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: You sound like you want to be working with them.  I am curious as to what they have in store for us next.  I'm sure we'll find a way to have fun with it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV:  Nah, she still has a lot of years left in her!  ::Slaps his open hand on his engineering console::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: I'm, or I guess I should say we; ::Glancing down to abdomen.::  are always open to learning new things.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: Well, maybe one day, when I make Admiral, I will take this ship as my personal one and go crazy with updates... You would have carte blanche with that 

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Civ:  That would be a great day!
