OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: in quarters putting SuSHom to bed ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pets her bird and closes the cage ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@:: browsing a pet shop::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sitting in his ready room on the Claymore::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::is particularly interested in a Circassian cat::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: rattles around her quarters fiddling with pictures on the walls to make them just perfectly straight ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::leaves the store and heads across the way to a very familiar confection shop::
SO_Love says:
:: In Dali's quarters starring at the android unseeingly.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits his quarters and heads to check on Dali and the SO::
Adm Nelson says:
@::Sitting at his office desk in his ready room outside the Starbase's OPS deck::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::He is taking great pleasure in reinstating Kayle at his FCO and Second Officer::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::chimes the door to Dali's quarters...and stands outside waiting::
SO_Love says:
:: Coming to her surroundings, she looks over her shoulder and calls out.::  XO:  Enter.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shop keeper: Hmm I'll take one box of Idanian mint truffles and.... one slice of Tarvokian Powder Cake.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::the door slides open...and he sees the SO sitting starring at Dali::  SO: He looks cheery.
AdmNelson says:
@::receives a communication directly from the Federation Council::
SO_Love says:
::Looks back her android::  XO:  He looks peaceful.  Do you think anything ever really goes through his mind like... he is curious, or bored or happy or... I don't know, content?
Shop Keeper says:
@CTO: That'll be one bar of GPL, please.  ::goes to a nearby shelf to get the items::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::reaches into his pocket and takes out one bar of GPL::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shopkeeper: Here you go.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks at Dali...with a seemingly blank look on his face::  SO: I think he is too content...maybe he has way to much running through his head at the moment.  ::grins::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sticks her tongue out the side of her mouth as she concentrates on getting the last picture straight and it will just not cooperate::
SO_Love says:
::Sighs and leans back in the chair.::  XO:  He can have my thoughts...  I still can't believe Kayle is back.  And I didn't even get a chance to say anything to him.
Shop Keeper says:
@::takes the GPL and places the treats on the counter in front of the CTO:: A Pleasure doing business with you. Was there anything else?  I know how Starfleet security types like their weapons.  ::smirks::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shop Keeper: Don’t even think about it.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shop Keeper : Before I leave .....
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Seemingly makes two of us.  It is blowing my mind at the moment...and I haven't heard a peep from him either.
Shop Keeper says:
@CTO:  ::bows slightly:: Yes?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shop Keeper: What is in these boxes?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shop Keeper: And remember who you are talking to.
Shop Keeper says:
@::taken aback::  Exactly what you asked for, of course.  ::now a bit perturbed::
SO_Love says:
XO:  I keep thinking someone is going to pop out and say... surprise, it is only a trick.  Odd, how it was easier to believe his death, then it is to believe he is alive.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::opens one of the boxes::
Adm Nelson says:
COM:  Captain Randolph, please come and see me in station OPS immediately.

ACTION: In the box is exactly what the CTO asked for.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I know...I wanted to believe that it was all some sort of cruel joke...but I saw him...and I knew...it wasn't.  His death was easy to believe...but him being alive is kind of hard to take.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::taps comm badge::  *ADM*  Understood Admiral.  I am on my way.  Randolph, out.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Shop Keeper: Hmm, ok have a nice day..
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls the nail out of the wall and pounds it back in with a hammer at a different angle ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Closes out the monitor in front of him and he gets up straightening his uniform and exits his ready room.  He walks over to the TL and enters it giving his destination::
SO_Love says:
::Stands up and slips a hand around his arm.::  XO:  Lets go to the station and... I don't know.  Do something to pass the time.  Doc said he was going to keep him under until tomorrow at the earliest.
Shop Keeper says:
@CTO:  And you as well, sir.  ::is very glad the CTO didn't open the other box too::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Randolph to Taylor.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::is still suspicious::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Sounds good to me.  ::stops::  *CO*: Yes, sir?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Commander, I am on my way to Station Ops to see Admiral Nelson.  The ship is yours until I return.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::remembers that he horribly dislikes powder cake and puts it back on the counter.::  Shop Keeper: You can keep this one.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
SO_Love says:
XO:  We were not fast enough.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::The TL stops and he exits walking down the corridor and enters the pedway between the Claymor and the Station:  *XO*  I will return soon.  Randolph, out.  
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Understood.  Taylor, out.
Shop Keeper says:
@ ::points to the holograph at the end of the counter that says "No Refunds"::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks over to the SO::  SO: Chey, we never are.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::exits the pedway and steps out onto the station.  He heads to the nearest TL::  Computer:  Station Ops.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::leaves::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: hangs the picture and this time it is just right ::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Come on.  Let's see what mischief we can do on the bridge.  We could rearrange everyone’s schedule.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::the Station TL stops and he exits walking over to the Admiral’s Office.  He taps the chime.::

ACTION: Chaser's picture falls to the deck just as she turns away from it.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Yea...that would be a blast.  ::laughs, surprised::  I never thought of it before.. ::heads toward the door::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: cringes and grumbles as she picks up the picture and tries again to get it on the wall just right ::
Shop Keeper says:
@::quickly hustles the box the CTO left behind to a nearby recycling chute and tosses it in.::
SO_Love says:
:: Exits the room, turning off all the lights. ::  XO: You spend too much time with your nose in your PADD.  Hmmm... shall we make it seem totally random or shall we blame it on some forgotten spirit that I am sure there must be, that still haunts the ship?
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: Enter!
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::decides to go back to the Claymore to train with his weapons::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::Enters the Admiral's office and comes to attention::  ADM:  Captain Patrick Randolph reporting as ordered sir.  ::continues to stand at attention::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::heads to the TL::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: plops down in her chair staring at the unmoving stars out her view port ::
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph:  At ease, Captain.  ::motions:: have a seat.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Hmmm...I'm sure we can find someone to take the blame.  ::follows behind the SO::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Computer: Airlock 6.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  Thank you, sir.  ::takes a seat in front of the Admiral::  What can I do for you sir?

ACTION: The emergency view port shade automatically slides down on the port that Chaser is looking through.

CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::heads back onto the Claymore and once again to the TL::
SO_Love says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  XO:  Seriously though.  I have a question for you about the captain.  Does he seem... I don't know, happy to you?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Deck 8.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: grumbles and tries to open the shade ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Hard to tell...He seems to be cheerful.  Like a few weights have lifted from his chest.
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: I've read the reports from your last mission.  It seems you went through allot to stop those weapons.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  Yes, sir.  We were very luck though.  ::looks down for a moment::

ACTION: Chaser's view port shade won't budge.

CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::gets off and heads to OPS' quarters::
SO_Love says:
XO:  He didn't seem so when I last saw him.  But you have seen him since.  Maybe it was just Kayle.  ::Steps off onto the quiet bridge.::  I have an idea... lets take the ship for a joy ride.  I get to drive.  ::Moves to the flight console.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
: :kicks the control panel and hits the manual hand actuator pulling the shade up manually ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::hits the chime::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns at the chime, wondering :: DOOR: Enter.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::comes in and sees a big dent in the bulkhead::
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph:  I'm not the only one that noticed either.  I've gotten a communication directly from the Federation Council...::trails off::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
OPS: Trying to hang pictures again?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: smiles and nods ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::grabs Chey’s shoulder::  SO: Wait a minute...not so fast...I get to drive...::moves in front of her::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  Sir?  ::looks at the Admiral::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
OPS: Well here i think you need these more than I do. ::offers the chocolates::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: her eyes light up:: CTO: Chocolates! Thank you!
SO_Love says:
XO:  Hey, what happened to ladies first?  ::Slips into operations seat and stares down at the board.;;  Been awhile since I played on one of these.
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: Well, I'm not really sure, if I should tell you this, but I've been out there too, so I know what it's like.  Before Claymore leaves here in the next couple of weeks, we will be getting a very special visitor.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
OPS: No Problem.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I guess your right.  ::moves down to his seat and picks up his PADD::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::continues to look at the Admiral::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
OPS: Well, goodbye, I am going to the holodeck.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: Is busy stuffing her mouth with chocolates but waves good-bye to the CTO ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::leaves and goes to his own quarters::
SO_Love says:
::Shifts over and stares at the flight console.::  XO:  He really is back, isn't he... I wonder how it happened.  ::Lightly runs a hand along the console.::
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: What I'm about to tell you does not leave this office.  Understood?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  Understood, sir.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::enters in and spies his mek’leth::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: He really is....::thinks a minute::...Maybe it was magic...or the marvels of modern science...or luck.
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: I'm not sure exactly why, but all I know is that your last mission really caught his eye.  It seems the President, himself will be making a trip to our humble starbase.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::takes it leaves and goes to the holodeck::
SO_Love says:
:: Looks up to stare at the blank screen.::  XO:  Luck... miracle... ::Turns around to look at him, placing her arms across the back of the chair for her to chin to rest upon.::  I went through those records with a fine tooth comb... just in case, you know.  I never found anything.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  The President of the Federation, Admiral?  What is the reason for his visit?
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: I don't know the reason.  I was only told to prepare for the visit.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Run Program Blade 7.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Who knows.  I only know we were in the right place at the right time...and that is all that matters.
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: You might want to gather your staff and prepare them.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::sees a large burly creature::
SO_Love says:
XO:  I wonder if we will ever know.  Especially given his memory loss.   ::Sighs in exasperation.::  What are you doing, writing a book?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Begin.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  Admiral, will there need to be any special arrangements made?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Always.  ::pecks a few words on his PADD::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::makes short work of the creature and stabs it in the jugular vein::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: finishes off the whole box of truffles and plops back down in her chair looking out the view port again ::
SO_Love says:
:: Stands up and quickly snatches the PADD from his hands.::  XO:  Ha!
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph:  We may need a few officers from your security staff.  I know he's bringing his own, but after his recent...ah...trip...I'm sure he will have a reduced force.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Self : Simple.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Increase to level 5.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::eyes widen...as he sees the SO take the PADD and begin to read::  SO: Hey...umm...give that back...private stuff on there...please?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  I understand.  I will turn over my best officers to your for temporary reassignment for the President's protection.
SO_Love says:
:: Dances away humorously:: XO:  Private huh?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Maybe...theres really nothing in there.  ::face gets a little red::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer:: Begin.
SO_Love says:
:: A brow rises at his red face.  Teasingly... ::  XO:  So now it comes out.  You are really sending love notes to a girlfriend, right?
Adm Nelson says:
@Randolph: Very well.  I'll inform you when they're needed.  In the meantime, gather your staff, and inform them as you see fit.  ::takes a medium sized box out of his desk::  Oh, and pass these out.  There's some treats in there I think your crew would like.  Dismissed.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Ha ha...no.  ::breathes in::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@ADM:  Understood Admiral.  ::takes the box::  I am sure they will.  ::gets up and leaves::
SO_Love says:
XO:  No...? ::Pretends to read it.::  That is not what I see here... tell, who is she.

ACTION: Chaser begins to feel certain rumblings in her stomach.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
@::Takes the TL to the promenade and then the Pedway back to the Claymore::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: There isn't anyone...did I leave it open...ha ha.  ::looks away::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: burps loudly and feels better ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::a tougher fight but still pretty simple slashes  two of its fingers off and stabs it in the lungs::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::He walks across the pedway and takes a Claymore TL to the bridge.  He enters the bridge and walks down to his Ready Room::
SO_Love says:
:: Steps back over to hand him the PADD.:: XO:  When we leave this ship, I give fair warning, this PADD had better not be leaving with us.

ACTION: Chaser's stomach feels better, but those rumblings have moved further down her digestive tract.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Randolph to Lt. Chaser.  Please report to my ready room immediately.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Increase to level 12.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks down::  SO: Yes ma'am.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: jumps straight out of her chair ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir-r-r.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Begin.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: farts as she dresses in her uniform, pulling her boots on as she runs out the door ::
SO_Love says:
:: Winks at him and takes a seat.::  XO: So, what mischief shall we get into.  I have this energy I need to burn up.  I am not sure where it came from.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
::enters the lift :: COMPUTER-R: Br-ridge Expr-ress!
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Hmmm...maybe from not doing anything at all for a while...maybe?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::a fairly difficult fight cuts out an eye and hacked at two vertebrae::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: bounds out of the lift on to the bridge leaping over the command level landing just outside the CO's door ::
SO_Love says:
::Huffs::  XO:  I am always busy!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: hits the door chime ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Enter.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Self : Hmm Increase to level 18.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Yeah...Always busy.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Lt. Chaser.  I am very proud to promote you to the rank of Lt. Commander with all the ranks and privileges thereto.  Congratulations.  ::pins the pip on her collar::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: blinks::
SO_Love says:
::Blinks as she sees OPS go by, hears the captain and blushes.::  XO:  Ummm... guess we missed something.  Shall we head out?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Thank you, Sir-r! :: smiles widely ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS: You are welcome. Dismissed.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*: Randolph to Taylor.  Report to my Ready Room.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: comes to attention and leaves ::
SO_Love says:
::Slaps her head::  XO:  We have got to learn to be quicker.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Aye sir.  SO: Once again...not quick enough.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: bounds out the door landing right next to the SO ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::walks over to the Ready Room and chimes the door::
SO_Love says:
::Sighs and sits back down::  XO:  When you are done...
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::a moderately difficult fight barely manages to fell this one gives it a deep gouge in the thigh and cut out the tongue::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Aye.
SO_Love says:
::Shakes her head and looks up at Chaser.::  OPS:  You look happy. Good news?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shows the SO her new pip ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*:  Enter.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  It is my pleasure to reward you with Starfleet's Distinguished Service Medal.  Congratulations.  ::puts the medal around his neck.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::feels his face get hot...and he looks at the Captain::  CO: Thank you sir...it is an honor.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Congratulations.  Dismissed.
SO_Love says:
OPS:  What did you have in mind?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Thank you.  ::exits the ready room::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::a very different fight is knocked off balance but still manages to pierce its heart and hack off both its hands::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
SO: Chocolates and Trixian Bubble Juice!
SO_Love says:
::Hearing the doors open, looks up to see Alex.::  XO:  Good news too huh?  I guess I should take you both out to celebrate.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Increase to level 25.
SO_Love says:
OPS:  Trixian bubble juice?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Yep...good news...and a pretty medal.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
::nods:: SO: Yes, it makes my nose tickle!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: smiles at the XO ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Computer: Begin.
SO_Love says:
XO/OPS:  Now... if we are quick... ::Stands and heads for the turbolift..::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: follows the SO ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Yes, if we are quick.  ::begins to move to the TL::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::An Extremely difficult fight is knocked off balance and his uniform is torn and bloodied but manages to carve a huge hole in its chest::
SO_Love says:
:: Enters and turns to look at the medal.::  XO:  Congrats.  How do you want to celebrate?  She wants chocolates.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
SO/XO: Chocolate is GOOD!
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::notices his mek’leth is covered in blood::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::thinks a minute::  SO: A drink sounds good.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: bounces up and down in the same spot she is so excited ::
SO_Love says:
OPS:  Good for what?  :: Steps off the lift and heads for the airlock.::  I will pay the first round...
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: does a front flip right into the lift :: SO: it is good for EVER-RYTHING!
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I'll drink to you buying.  ::laughs::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::sheaths his mek’leth  and hobbles out of the holodeck:: Computer: End Program.
SO_Love says:
@ ::With a nod to the security guard, finally steps onto the station.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CTO*: Meet us for drinks on the station!
SO_Love says:
@ ::Raises an eyebrow.::  OPS:  Lowly ensigns don't make that much.  You get his.  ::Smiles::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
@:: bounces :: SO: I will buy ALL NIGHT!
