CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Keeps voice  calm, trying to anyway::  K’tarn:  I beg to differ....

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
K’tarn: Oh please don't do anything! 

CSO_Rillian says:
::Holding the door for the CO::

CMO_Endo says:
::Enters the TL, goes to deck 3, steps out, heads to the torpedo bay and voila! He's there::

CO_Torbin says:
::Enters the TL and steps back as it heads down to deck 3::

General_Ktarn says:

::Standing apart from everyone in the TB::

CO_Torbin says:
::Nods to the general::  K`Tarn: Welcome to the Claymore, General.  We're just waiting for a few last people to arrive before we begin.

General_Ktarn says:
::Glares at Torbin...and in a civilized snarl::  Torbin: We meet again, Captain.

TO_Booker says:
::TL stop and door open.  Walks out to torpedo bay 1::

CO_Torbin says:
::Ignores the glare and snarl::  K’tarn: Indeed.   We shall have to catch up on old times later..  In my Ready Room...

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian:  I guess so.. You should stop drinking tea though, caffeine will make the headache worse... try ice water.

::Bellows in a loud voice so everyone can't help but hear:  all:  ATTENTION ON DECK!!

General_Ktarn says:
::Snaps to attention::

CMO_Endo says:
::Snaps to attention and thinks "whoa..."::

XO_Hall says:
::Moves to his seat  and stands hearing the CO's commencement orders and comes to attention.::

CO_Torbin says:
::Waits for everyone to stand at attention before beginning::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Smiles.. not very well.. but being overly emotional doesn't help the situation.. especially when it seems Torbin has found another and forgotten I exist::

CSO_Rillian says:
::Cringes at the volume and stands at attention as best she can with her glass of tea::

Host CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::already at attention::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Actually looks at the Captain funny as he bends forward from the now at attention group, before standing upright::

CO_Torbin says:
::Speaking in more normal tones now, but still loud enough for all to hear::  All: Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of a fellow officer and a good friend to many, myself included.

CO_Torbin says:
All: For those of you that have not heard yet, Commander Manfred vonRoth died in the line of duty defending his Captain and the crew of the USS Claymore.

CO_Torbin says:
All: If it was not for his brave actions, the genetically engineered Jem'Hadar could well still be loose on the ship and all of us could still be facing a dangerous foe, and for this, Commander Manfred vonRoth died with great honor.

CO_Torbin says:
All: In light of this, I have requested, and Starfleet has approved, an award for Commander vonRoth.  Therefore, effective as of this Stardate, I hereby posthumously award Commander Manfred vonRoth with the Purple Heart.

CO_Torbin says:
::Pauses for a few moments to let everything sink in::

CO_Torbin says:
All: Now I believe General K`Tarn, the Klingon Attaché to Starfleet, would like to say a few words, to be followed by Lieutenant Tyfair, the Chief Engineer, and then Lieutenant Endo, the Chief Medical Officer.

CO_Torbin says:
::Steps back to allow K`Tarn to speak::

General_Ktarn says:
::Steps forward::

CSO_Rillian says:
::Looks at Caleb hearing he's going to speak and grins turning her attention to the general::

Host CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::offers a smile and a nodd to the captain::

General_Ktarn says:
All: Commander Manfred vonRoth was a cousin, a Brother, a Starfleet Officer and a Warrior.

TO_Booker says:
:: looks at beta::

CO_Torbin says:
::nods back at the CIV, not really in any mood to smile::

General_Ktarn says:
All: He lived a Warrior life, in accordance with a Warrior Code of Honor, and he Died a death befitting a great warrior,  There is no Higher honor for a Warrior then to Die in the line of Duty.  Commander Manfred vonRoth may have left use but He is watching over all of us as he servers with honor in the Black Fleet in Sto’vo’Kor

General_Ktarn says:
::Steps back::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Glances at the captain and then back at the floor::

CO_Torbin says:
::Returns the glance at Sabrina, but again avoids smiling::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Steps forward::

CSO_Rillian says:
::Steals another sip of her tea::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
All: Well, I didn't know vonRoth all that much.  I know he irked me on every possible occasion.  He did his job, with a magnifying glass for detail that was absolutely infuriating.  But he got the job done.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Looks back and forth between Sabrina and Torbin, fingers her betrothal bracelet::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Feels heart sink farther that Torbin couldn't even smile at her.. Wants this to be over soon::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
All: He knew what he was getting himself into the day he tried to assign a security detail to Main Engineer during alert status.  He had this coming for months now...

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Glances at the fidgeting CIV and her hands.. and that bracelet.. Something about it bugging her::

General_Ktarn says:
::looks at the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Steps up to casing in kicks it::  Casing: You were doing your job, I was doing mine.  Good Journey.

CO_Torbin says:
::Listening to the CEO and wondering if the General will loose it at the same time the CEO looses his head::

CMO_Endo says:
::wow::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Jumps at the sound and turn to look at the CEO in shock::

TO_Booker says:
::Looks at the CO::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::REB at the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Smiles sheepishly::  All: Well, he did... ::gets back into line::

CMO_Endo says:
::Steps forward::

General_Ktarn says:
::glares at the ill manner CEO and thinks....figured that the Traitor Torbin got a crew misfits::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Eyes the CEO and debates how quickly she could take Ktarn's hidden knife and cut his throat::

CSO_Rillian says:
::Isn't quite sure what to think other than hopes that Tyfair doesn't give a speech at her funeral if it ever comes to that::

CO_Torbin says:
::Pondering all nasty manner of ways to remind the Lt. to show respect to a deceased fellow officer::

CMO_Endo says:
ALL: Commander vonRoth and I weren't exactly friends. In fact, our duties often conflicted, and though we never met face to face, we had some great arguments.

CMO_Endo says:
ALL: He did his duty and then some. He was a very fine Chief Tactical Officer. And yes, he was my enemy. But what is life without enemies? Without enemies, you cannot have friends. I will miss Manfred vonRoth just as much as Varel Torbin or K'tarn

CMO_Endo says:
::steps back::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Sighs and looks around the group::

General_Ktarn says:
::Begins to wonder what kind of ship the traitor runs and why in the name of Kahless Manfred waste his life saving these crew of misfits::

CO_Torbin says:
::Steps forward again::  All: General K`Tarn has informed me that the remains of Manfred vonRoth will return to Germany for burial on the family land.  Therefore, we will be firing an empty torpedo casing in his honor.

CO_Torbin says:
All:  As next closest living blood relative, the pressing of the button to fire the torpedo falls to Sabrina vonRoth, sister to Manfred vonRoth.  ::Indicates the button and waits for Sabrina to push it::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Steps to the firing controls::

TO_Booker says:
Beta: Pull out weapon!

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
::Nods to thecrew and shrugs, placing hand over the button::

CO_Torbin says:
::Indicates that she can press the button when ready::

CSO_Rillian says:

CO_Torbin says:
::Whispers::  Sabrina: She should know me well enough to know I do what I want, when I want, and how I want.  She'll get over it soon enough..

CO_Torbin says:
::Raises voice::  all: Thank you for coming.  Dismissed!

CMO_Endo says:
::Glances at K'tarn's face and sees the ickiness... yeesh::

Sabrina_vonRoth says:
CO: But will I.. ::Stares a moment and then walks alone to the door::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Stands next to Rillian::  Rillian:  I think the Klingon wants to kill us, let's move.

TO_Booker says:
Beta: Attention

XO_Hall says:
::Comes out of attention and goes to visit with General K'Tarn::
