The USS Cherokee is docked at Starbase while the ship is refit for their next mission.  The crew has been granted a few days of leave before their next adventure.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::In Science Lab 3, making sure that it has been completely cleared for the refit.::  All: Give it one last look and we can hand it over to the crews.  Have a good leave all, see everyone after.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::At his station taking care of final docking procedures::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::L'Vor logs out of his Tactical/Security console and heads for the TL and his quarters, prior to leaving the ship::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::As the lab finishes its final check, grabs bag and heads to the Bridge for a final check in.::

ACTION: Starbase crews begin entering the ship for the internal refits while Worker-bees begin pod replacement.

CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::On the bridge waiting for everyone to leave so that he can.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Up on the Bridge after securing from docking maneuvers, the ship is all secure, and the m/ARC is powered down and secured::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO: Captain, the Ship is secured, the Yard Master has the ship for the refit, missions pod and lab remodeling.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Exits the Turbolift.::  CO: Captain, Science Lab 3 cleared out and ready for the refit.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: So, what are everyone's plans... and you don't have to answer that if you don’t want to.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: That's great.  I hope you weren't planning on sticking around here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  I thought I would do some shopping for knickknacks for outfitting my quarters a little more.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: No sir, hearing rumors of a musical...festival?  Gathering?  Not sure of the right term, but a group of concerts arranged on the Starbase common area over the next few days.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Aah, shopping.  Reminds me of Commander Nash.
SO: That sounds like fun.  What kind of music?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: According to Petty Officer Clark it is part of a Betazoid festival.  But with examples of music from several worlds.
Of course Metron says it's not a festival unless there are at least 6 Tellar bands playing, but he's sort of biased.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Are we going to all pile in a shuttle?

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
SO: I might check that out.  You say it's going on for a few days?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: We could.  I have to pick up my stuff and Fred too.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: That's the word.  To be honest, I'm going on hearsay.  Haven't had a chance to double check.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Wouldn't the Transporters be easier?  Until the hard connect is cleared for non-official use?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All: Beaming is fine, quicker too.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Okay we meet in Transporter Room 1 in fifteen minutes.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Sounds like a plan.  I don't need much, not getting a room on station for this one so no need for luggage.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  I will meet everyone in TR1, I need to get out of this uniform first. ::heads for the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: I'm not staying on station.  I thought I'd walk Fred on the station.  He doesn't get out much.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Moves to SCI 1 to do a final check that all Science systems are locked down into Starbase mode.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Enters Turbolift:: Computer: Deck 6 please.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: That's part of why I haven't gotten a pet yet, no guarantee I can give it the attention needed. See you in a few.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Reaches into a locker for her travel bag, double checking it is fully stocked with the essentials, then heads for Transporter Room 1 to wait for the others.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Hops out of the TL, and gets to his quarters, seems he was just here, and changes to his civilian clothes, and puts his comm badge in his shirt pocket, and exits his quarters for TR 1::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Arrives on Deck 6.  Wally goes to his quarters and puts a leash on Fred, keeps the uniform on, combs his hair in the mirror and then, exits quarters dog in tow.

ACTION: A small "thunk" can be heard as the first weapons pod is maneuvered into place.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Steps into Transporter Room 1.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Reaches Transporter Room 1, and waits for the crowd to arrive.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Hears the thunk::  Self: Take it easy on the old girl will you.  ::Arrives in Transporter Room 1 on Deck 5::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: From the rumors and hints, looks like our next mission will be vastly different.  Looking forward to seeing what it is we're being going to be looking for.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Lieutenant Trix, did you hear the mission pod attaching with the mag-locks?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Yes, law enforcement mission it seems, with forensics, a real "who dunnit" ::Smiles.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: I heard the thunk, if that is what it was.  I've come to believe that a thunk in Starbase is usually intentional.  If not, not much I can do about it.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Are we ready?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Yes sir, ready.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  ::chuckles:: Yes, a thunk at Starbase is of a high probability that it is a planned activity, rather than being in deep space.  

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Steps onto pad with Fred sitting by the Captain's side::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!  ::Steps on the transporter pad.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Steps onto the Transporter pad.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Chief Otis: You may beam us over to the station now, Chief.

ACTION: Otis initiates the Transporter, transporting the crew to Starbase Transporter room 6.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Materializes on the station.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Free of the matter-stream::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Fred>::Rematerializes. Slightly confused, gets a little excited but, a scratch behind the ear from his master gave him the notion he had nothing to fear.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Steps down from pad:: All: Well, you all have fun. If you need me, I'll be around.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Steps off the Transporter Pad and towards the door.::  All: Yup, enjoy, I'll catch you all later.

ACTION: As the crew steps out of the Transporter room, an Orion string orchestra's music fills the common area.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Fred>: Hearing the high pitch of the music makes him want to sing and he begins to howl along with the music::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::steps down off the transporter pad, into the common area, noticing the orchestra's music playing.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Quickly leads the musical hound away from the listening crowds::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Smiles.:: CO: Seems Fred is a tenor rather than a base?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: He's going to get into trouble if we don't go from here, excuse me, please. ::The frantic CO vacates the area in great haste.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Fred>: Doesn't want to leave the concert but, his master seems quite determined to leave.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Moves towards the music, seeing the band is level down but in a great position to watch from here.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Takes a chair, and listens to the music.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Fred: I just don't think anybody but me, would appreciate your musical talents.  The music industries just not ready for an artist like you..  ::Picks up the pace::
