CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Straightens his uniform before walking into the Flight Bay.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::has entered the Flight Bay and takes a seat on the end of one of the second row so she can unobtrusively move to the pall bearers position later in the ceremony::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::checking final preparations with one of the command department's functionaries, tugging at his sleeves to straighten his uniform before turning away with a nod::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@::in a holding pattern in his Kaneda, waiting for the order to commence with the flyby::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Enters the Flight Bay and takes a seat.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::In the flight bay::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Enters  the flight bay and takes a seat in the designated area.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walks up to the dais and activates it:: All: Everyone have a seat please. Senior officers in the front.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks around for Kizlev, wanting to see him in dress uniform and seeing how his drills with his men will work out today on the real thing::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the crew gathers on the flight deck, the screens along the bulkheads, normally used for flight assignments, begin to slowly scroll the names and images of those lost.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::hears the Captain and gets up to sit on the end of the first row::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::in his crimson dress uniform, looking completely stoic and unemotional, enters the flight bay at the head of the honor guards escorting the flag-draped casket of Senior Chief Rrax's body::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::takes a seat in front::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Maintains his position in the formation as well, going over everything with the cockpit for the third time::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::taps on the audio pickup, causing a soft booming sound:: All: Everyone, please find a seat.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks over the hundreds of crew assembled in the bay, finally turning his eyes to track the crimson-clad honor guards marching the body in::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Wishes this was finished so things could get back to normal.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::crosses her legs accidentally kicking Renor in the shin.::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::quietly leads the pall bearers to the dais, and has them solemnly present the Rrax's casket there, salutes, and forms the line to the side of the dais::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Goes over a seperate checklist involving the preperations the FCO staff made for crewman Rrax's transport, knowing them to already be well accomplished, but checking just the same::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::starts to sense some people's grief levels rising now that all focus is on their dead::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Reajusts to give T'Shara more leg room.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::whispers:: CNS: Sorry Counselor.  ::Putting her leg back down so she wouldn't bother him again.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods at Kizlev and then clears his throat:: All: Everyone knows why we're here. This memorial ceremony is in honor and remembrance for those we lost on the Kavama Mission. One that had far-reaching consequences. Some good. Some bad.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Nods to the Commander.::  OPS:  It's alright Commander.  They have not given us much room here.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
:;standing beside the casket listening to the Captain::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::he and his guards are statuesque, gazing ahead in perfect, trained silence and stoicism::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods:: CNS: Aye but the Captain wanted to make sure all could attend.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks out over the room:: All: We can't afford to mire ourselves in the bad, but it's important to remember the cost. ::pauses:: But it's equally important to remember the bright spots. Those truly deserving of note.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::flicks his eyes down at the itinerary scrolling past and then back up at the group:: Lieutenant Commander T'Shara, Lieutenant Commander Hayward, Lieutenant Kizlev, Lieutenant Jakiel and Ensign Renor, please step forward.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Stands and steps forward.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::Gets up and stands in the predetermined position::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Stands up at the mention of her name and steps forward.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::moves forward, a little surprised that she was asked to::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::steps off the dais with a box that he opens on the table with silver devices inside:: ::keeps his voice up as he move forward::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::steps forward in a practiced march, keeping to his unemotional role, then turns on heel to face the captain, and remains at attention::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CEO: Lieutenant Commander Hayward, it is my distinct pleasure to award you the Captains' Commendation for Creative Thinking. Your mind ultimately won us the Kavama contract and may have saved incalcuable lives. ::places the silver commendation on his uniform:: Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Thank you.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::Shake's Hayward's hand and moves the line over:: OPS: Lieutenant Commander T'Shara. I'm privileged to present to you the Admiral's Commendation for Outstanding Performance of Administrative Duties. Your performance as acting Captain while I was indisposed was exemplary. Congratulations Lieutenant Commander.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shakes T'Shara's hand and steps over to the crimson-clad Andorian:: CTO: Lieutenant Kizlev. I'm pleased to present you the Captain's Commendation for Lifesaving. There are a great many Klingons on Kavama that owe you a drink and their lives. Congratulations Lieutenant.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Thank you sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::shakes his hand and waits.::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::accepts the award and dutifully salutes the captain:: CO: I am honored, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::steps over:: SO: Lieutenant Junior Grade Jakiel, it's likewise my pleasure to present to you my commendation for Lifesaving. You can share Kizlev's drinks. ::smiles at her:: Congratulations, Lieutenant.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::brings a hint of a smile and a quick glance to the Andorian so named, then clasps Daylan's hand::  CO:  Sir!
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::faces their resident Ferengi finally, looking down a bit to meet his eyes:: CNS: And you, Counselor. It is my distinct privilege to present to you the Admiral's Commendation for Honorable Acts. It may not have been personally profitable, but we have all benefitted from the honor that runs in your blood. ::presents his hand:: Congratulatiosn.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::adds:: And thank you.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Nods.:: CO:  Thank you sir.  ::Shakes the Captains hand and wonders how much he can ge tfor the metal.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shakes Renor's hand firmly and then faces them all:: All: Let the record also so that on this date that Major Jamie Sirk has been awarded my Commendation for Valor. With a severely decimated air wing, he continued to fly defense on this ship while we recovered inside. Wherever you are, Major. You have our thanks for that as well.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns on his heel and walks back up to the dais:: All: Please sit once more.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::takes his seat::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::takes her seat once again.::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@::rubs the back of his neck at the mention of his name, waiting to get moving::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::turns on his heel, and returns to the head of his line as before::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Returns to his seat.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::walks back to the casket in formal military style::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::waits until everyone has sat again and notices some of the commendations proudly display, others hidden, but lets them sort out the reward for the tragedy in their own minds while he gets back to the purpose of today::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Grins slowly to himself, applauding each award recipient as if he were cheering on an opera::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: As often happens in this universe that we cannot predict, what appears to be one thing is often something other. What we thought and probably hoped was a simple negotiation for goods ultimately cost much more than we would have been willing to pay.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::points:: All: The four hundred and twelve names scrolling by on these screens around us were the price of that. I would not have chosen to pay it. But their deaths were not valueless. The dilithium that comes out of the Kavama mines will continue to power Starfleet for at least another century. In fact...
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::sits arms clasped in her lap listening.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Even Commander Hayward does not know this, but Starfleet has already recieved the first shipment from Kavama and Claymore's warp core is now powered by crystals from that very same load. We paid the price for it, I thought it only fair that Claymore be the first to benefit. I think the ship would approve as we fight to make sure nothing like
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
that never happens again.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::thinks in his mind, agreeing with the captain, "So say we all."::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Today is about rememberance, and understanding. We've all had a chance to grieve for our friends, comrades and loved ones. Some of us continue to do so. All of us have been forced to rebuild ourselves in the shadow of this tragedy. But when I was assigned to this ship I quickly learned that it had a long and proud history.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Thinks that it never happening again is a little to optimistic give their current career choice.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Collectively, this crew will continue that history. Long and proudly. We will never forget those that were lost. We will remember them as more than a list but as forever part of this ship and its legacy. And we will continue to wear our uniforms and take this ship out to the stars in their memory. ::takes a breath:: We owe them nothing less.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Over the last few weeks, our fallen comrades have been sent home, to their loved ones. One has not been. And I believe Commander Hayward can tell us why. ::looks at and beckons the engineer:: Commander Hayward?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::stands and takes his place in front::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
All: There is one among us who cannot make that final journy home. Senior Chief Petty Officer Rrax's body cannot be returned to his homeworld due to the political situation there. So his family will not give him the send off he deserves.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::stands back and takes a seat::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Listens silently to the captain's passionate speech, mentally adding a valorous song to make the address even more inspiring::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks up, watching Hayward as he speaks::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
All: But he did have a family to see him off - us. During the time he served on this ship, his performance was exemplary in all aspects. He  is sorely missed, as are all those lost. So it is up to us, his family for now, to send him on his final jounrny. May he find his way home in peace.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::listens quietly to the engineer's knowledge of Rrax, putting her in mind of her grandfather's endeavour's to work for peace where ever possible so situations like Rrax's planet do not happen::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::stands and replaces Woody at the dais:: CEO: Thank you, Commander. ::changes his voice to formality:: CTO: Honor Guard! Relieve Senior Chief Petty Officer Rrax of his post!
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::takes his seat::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::signals a brassist musician he found aboard the starbase's staff, playing out the Fed's version of "Taps" while the flag is being folded::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
Honor Guards: Honors....hup! ::marches the line to assemble around the casket, two of which, one being Kizlev, perform the folding of the flag::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::on the dais he hits a button on the padd, transmitting to the waiting Flight Group that it's time for their flyby::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@*FCO*: That's our cue, mate.  Let's take it low and slow.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::gestures to one of the flight bay's staff and the massive rear doors of the bay are slowly opened, revealing space and the turning Cooper's planet below glowing like a blue gem::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Signals his affirmation to Sirk via the com, before easing the fighter craft out of the flight bay::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::the flag folding complete, he carefully, with practiced rigid motions, delivers it to the hands of the captain, and salutes him::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The fighters, led by the shuttle, slowly and impressively glide past Claymore's flight bay.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::listens to the haunting buglist as the melody rings through the enormous flight bay, always tugging at the heart strings::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::accepts the flag and returns the salute, holding the skyblue flag in his white gloves carefully and deferentially, looking out the huge doorways as the fightercraft pass by::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
looks out the opening the bay doors have left.  The blue seas and wisps of clouds reminding her of the marine life waiting to be seen.  Watches Kizlev deliver the flag::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@::recounts the callsigns of his fallen pilots in his head one by one as they perform their maneuver::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walks over to stand by Rrax's coffin, watching the one fighter pull away, leaving the Missing Man from which the formation gets its name, signifying the lost pilots and crew of Claymore::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::takes a step back, turns about face, and returns in formation around the casket, standing motionless vigil over the casket, then turns to face Rhianna, and motions for her to assume her pallbearing place with the line::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Guides the Kaneda through its paces, marvelling at its performance, desiring one for himself. Slowly he shakes the thoughts from his head, refocusing on the task at hand::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns back to his senior officers:: Seniors: Ladies and gentlemen, please take your places. ::moves into the forward right hand spot, taking hold of the handle alongside Rrax's casket::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Unexpectedly, the scrolling screens along the bulkheads, as well as side monitors in the fighters, flicker and go blank.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::barely nods to Kizlev and takes her place at one of the gleaming brass handholds::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Walks into position and takes one of the handholds.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::makes sure his grip is good, while the others get into place, eyes drawn by the flicker::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Gets up and takes her position taking ahold of one of the handles.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::attention grabbed by an odd change of lighting that her mind had gotten used to from the screens, Rhianna looks up to see why and immediately 'guages' other's responses to make sure it is wrong::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@::toggles some switches as his displays flicker off:: *FCO*: Ah, Honor Two, I'm having some sort of electrical malfunction in my cockpit.  Attempting to hold course.  Copy?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::moves to the forward left-hand spot, and takes hold of the casket, the remaining honor guards return to the line to assume their place for the 21-gun salute::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The screens come back to life with an image of the Federation Logo on a blue background...signifying an incoming transmission.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::grip almost slips but he holds on, wondering what's going on as he sees screen after screen start glowing blue, turning to look over his shoulder:: OPS: Something wrong with the computers?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The red alert klaxon cooincides with the appearance of the Federation emblem on all screens.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Self: What now? ::keeps his place::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Commander looks like incoming transmission from Starfleet
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Furrows his brow as the major's message comes through a bit garbled:: *CAG*: Copy that Honor One, but your com is a bit distorted.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::really almost drops it this time s the alarms go off:: OPS: Sounds like it! ::ears hurting from the extremely loud alarms::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::the Federation logo combined with the noise of alert status puts her on edge and she dreads what will be said next after what happened not so long ago::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The Claymore's computer voice overrides the klaxons and summons Daylan to the bridge.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::ears begin to hurt from the noise.::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, we will load the casket onto the runabout. We will follow you to the bridge when the casket is secure.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@*FCO*: Bollocks, we've got a red alert on back on Mother.  Keep a hold pattern around the flight bay until we're given clearance.  You'll be wanted onboard, I think.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::elbows slump:: Self: Not now. Not today!... ::looks around and catches Kizlev's attention:: CTO: Honor Guard will have to do it. If it's called for me it needs more than me.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Senior Officers to the Bridge. This doesn't look good. ::face grave::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::her sensitive hearing suffers enough to put one free hand to her ear.  The rising intensity of emotions starts really putting her on edge::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The screens flicker and the Federation logo is replaced by the visage of Admiral Rene Harlan.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::motions for the guard to take the casket, post-haste and double time::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::waits as one of the honor guard folks takes her spot and heads for the Bridge.::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@*CAG*: Copy that Honor One, Honor Two inbound.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::about to relinquish his grip on the casket when he sees the face coem on::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::hands over the casket::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Waits before exiting the flight bay as she hears a message coming through.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::moves away as one of the honor guard pushes next to her to grip the handle and relieve her of the burden::  CTO/CO:  The Admiral...?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::recognizes the Fleet Admiral's face from Bradley's office:: All: This doesn't look good at all. ::lets go and lets an Honor guard take his place, walking over to be closer to the screen::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Hands over his position to an honor guard and heads over to the monitor.::
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
@::Parks the Kaneda fighter as soon as he's able to, going through a hasty shutdown process before exiting the craft at a steady jog, headed for the Bridge::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: Officers and enlisted men and women of the Fourth Fleet, it has been many years since the Dominion War. Since then, we have known relative peace. But that peace is now shattered.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sees the Admiral's face and follows the captain after the guards take hold of the casket and secure it in the runabout::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: ::a touch of anger enters her voice:: The USS Delphyne and her task group have been attacked by an element known as The Synod and are currently presumed destroyed.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: That task group consisted of 900 men and women doing nothing more than a routine surveying assignment, mapping the space of the Federation’s newest inducted member: the Amenti.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@*Deck Chief Marsters*: Chief, make sure we've got room to bring these birds in.  *OPS*: Honor Flight requesting permission to emba-  ::stops once the COM comes in::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: This egregious action was quickly followed by no less than five other coordinated attacks on Federation installations on Sidonick and Aria’Arkun. Outposts 597 and 599 have sustained heavy damage and are even now requesting aid to evacuate the civilians living and working there before their stations lose life support.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: Word from the region has dropped to a trickle after a similar attack on Relay Station 110. 
And if that was not enough, I have just been forced to list the USS Sharikahr as missing in action - that is nearly 200 crewmembers - along with our Federation Minister of Defense. A ship of peace transporting diplomats has simply disappeared.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::hears Major Sirk but waits to reply.::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: Even if the reasons for this attack were known, they did not deserve death, or the sorrow this brings to their friends and families… to us. ::coldly:: “The President has placed the Fourth Fleet on Condition Red with the Federation Council’s approval.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::audibly gasps:: Self: Condition Red...
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: Not since the beginning of the Dominion War has this been necessary, but the threat of imminent and continuing attack demands it. The Synod represent a clear and present danger to the citizens of the Federation and the peace of our union.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: These attacks, whatever their reason, were unprovoked. These deaths should never have occurred. These attacks were upon our friends and families and comrades in uniform and will not be tolerated or allowed to continue. We will respond and we will defend our own.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: After the most serious deliberation, it is clear that there is no other choice – we must respond and we must respond immediately. As of Stardate 10609.11, an Emergency Marshal Order is now in place.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::his eyes go blank and ublinking with the information, the fires within his still heart beginning to smolder all over again, just like they did the day he first learned of his father's death at the hands of a Jem'Hadar suicide attack::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: All Fourth Fleet ships and bases are to prepare for war. You are to assemble at Arcadia Station which will serve as Fleet Command Headquarters. Once here you will receive further orders. ::steely blue eyes harden:: Do not mistake the seriousness of this situation or this Marshal Order.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::glances out of the window and sees workbees suddenly swarming around SB-360::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: We will establish a Line of Control, starting first in the areas that were attacked and extending outward. We will seal the borders between Federation/Amenti Space and the Synod’s Sanctum to blockade that area and stem any further attacks. We will lock them away where they can cause no more harm to innocents.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
COM:ALL: I expect us to quickly reestablish peace in the region, honorably and successfully. But I also expect the Fourth Fleet to do what is needed to protect our homes and the lives of our citizens. Success and Peace.
Harlan out.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The screens quickly return to the image of the Federation Logo on a blue background.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::covers his mouth with his hands, standing stiff in front of the screen::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::Grim::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore's red alert klaxons are shut off, but the red lights continue to flash.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Notices the Captain's reaction.:: CO: Sir.  Are you okay?
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::'blocking' hard, the intensity of anger, worry, fear, dread...too many and too strong to name...almost threaten to overwhelm her psionic sense::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::eyes a little vacant, turns around and faces Renor and the others:: CNS: No, Counselor. I'm not.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks around at the others and lowers her head a bit.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks at the Captain, feeling his emotions keenly because he is so close, but says nothing::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@::determined to keep on:: *OPS*: Honor Flight requesting permission to embark, Claymore.  We've got work to do.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::looks at the captain, not envying his state of mind at this shocking moment of history:: CO: Captain, we can inter the chief's body into stasis until this crisis is over.
FCO_Ens_Suraen says:
::The anxiety and exhiliration of the moment spur his movements as he finally arrives on the bridge. He stills his countenance, although he feels like a young warrior eager to prove himself on the field of battle::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CAG*: Permission granted Major.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  It looks like we are being thrown back into harms way.  I suggest seeing me later once we are underway.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shakes head:: CTO: No, we owe him more than that. ::snaps quickly:: OPS: Belay that, Commander. They're to stay out there in escort formation.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO: Lieutenant, take the honor guard and bury Senior Chief Rrax. It's what he deserves.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: aye sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CAG*: delay that you are to stay in escort formation.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: The rest of you, we're going to the bridge. We do have work to do. ::swallows, the knot in his throught pressing against the tightness of his collar:: The Federation is at War.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::stands a little straighter, nodding and glad to finish what was started:: CO: Aye, sir. ::boards the runabout::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods and raises an eyebrow.::  CO: Aye, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO Aye, that we do. ::Leaves for the bridge::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::exits the flight bay and heads for the Bridge.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::pulls off his white gloves, suddenly feeling a need to:: All: Move! Ready Claymore to depart!
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
@*OPS*: Roger that, Claymore.  Firebrand squadron will launch to complete the formation shortly.  ::sends the appropriate orders to ready the squadron for launch::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain...science will get to work.  ::watches Daylan closely for a moment, worried a bit but starts off towards the Claymore::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Unbuttons part of his dress uniform and starts to head to the bridge.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Can tell the Captain is having a hard time of it.::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::seals up the aft hatch to the runabout, assumes flight control, and prepares for departure, filing a flight plan to the TIC for a quick rendesvous with the Claymore after the casket delivery is complete::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::eyes angry and despairing at the same time, he leads the senior staff out of the Flightbay and to the lifts, wondering why on the day they choose to remember the price of missions past, they have to consider the price of the one to come::
