FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::at the helm steering the ship toward Vulcan::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Checks the security reports on her desk.  Signs off on the new duty rosters and heads out of the office::
OPS_Jankara says:
::sitting quietly at her duty station going about her job::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods at a couple of her people, and enters the lift:: Out loud: Bridge
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::stands in the torpedo control room going over the inventory::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::has a major headache and needs to relax::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::exits the lift when it arrives on the bridge, heads to her station and checks the sensors::
OPS_Jankara says:
::gets another supply list from maintenance::
OPS_Jankara says:
FCO: Do I have the list from your staff, Commander?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::sighs heavily at the loss of the two Federation ships and leaves her sanctuary and walks onto the bridge::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
*CTO*:Commander this is Lemmick
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*TO*: Go ahead Lt
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS:  Actually, I have the PADD with our needs right here.  I was down in the shuttle bay earlier. ::gives her the PADD::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::looks up and sees T'Ponga, nods::
OPS_Jankara says:
::takes the PADD:: FCO: Thanks, I'll make sure this stuff gets added in to our request.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::slowly walks and nods to her CTO and takes a seat::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks up as the captain walks out:: CO: Captain, we are on course and on time for Vulcan.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Very good. Lt. Commander.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
*CTO*:I am in the torpedo control room...it's not too bad down here. Just some minor repairs. 
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
*CTO*:We have 29 torpedoes left so I wouldn't plan on going into battle any time soon
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*TO*: Good to hear that.  Have a team get started on them.  If they need any materials that we don't have, make up a list for the Vulcan’s.  We can pick them up there
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*TO* Understood.  We'll see if we can pick up some when we get to Vulcan
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::still thinking of the loss of the two starships and the fact that Barrett was the idiot and that the chain of command was broken and the end result was the ships loss::
OPS_Jankara says:
::overhears the conversation:: CTO: Commander, I have most of the list prepared.  I can take care of your weapons requisition as well.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
*CTO*:Understood sir....last time checked Barrett was still in his quarters under heavy guard with level 10 force field around the quarters. Everything disabled as well
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
OPS: Good.  *TO*: Get the supply list to Jankara.  And make sure that Barrett is continually under guard.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
*CTO*:Already on its way commander...OPS should have it in a moment. Any other orders sir?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Jankara how are we doing with the lists of needs?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*TO*: Not at the moment, Lt.  Carry on
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: Commander your screens are clear of any ships from here to Vulcan?
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Nearly complete, Captain.  I'll have it in plenty of time to transmit to Vulcan before our arrival.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Good.  I appreciate all your hard work.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::fights the emotions that are beginning to surface::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::exits the Control Room with a somber look on his face and heads for the nearest lift::
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: It's my job Captain. ::continues adding the Flight requests to her list::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::checks the sensors again::  CO: Normal so far Captain ::moves from her station to the Captain's side::  Captain,  minor damage in the torpedo control room.  We have 29 torpedoes left.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::enters the bridge and walks over the OPS:: OPS: Here are the materials lists you need. ::hands over the PADD::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: Understood Commander.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: New orders arrive for Barrett, turning over command of the USS Natilan to him. He will take command of that ship near Vulcan.
OPS_Jankara says:
::receives the orders and her jaw drops::  CO: Captain, I think you should see this, Ma'am.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: What is it?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::looks at what Jankara sees and nearly howls::
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: I'm to inform Major Barrett that he's been given command of the USS Natilan.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::still standing by T'Ponga, looks up at Jankara::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::walks over to the CTO:: CTO :Here is a copy of the material’s list...thought you would like a copy.
OPS_Jankara says:
::feels tears welling up in her eyes:: CO: Starfleet just signed on for more deaths of good crew, Captain.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Another ship for him to destroy?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: I don't believe Starfleet is giving this idiot a ship to command after what he did here.  Jankara can you at least tell Starfleet about what he did here?  Maybe they will reconsider.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Takes the PADD:: TO: Thanks ::quietly::
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: I've turned in my report, Captain.  I sent it to Admiral Hamilton.  Would you like me to open a line?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Apparently so Commander.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Well, I hope the ship is a garbage scow or something worse.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I sent my report to the Admiral and HQ, also Captain
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::quietly talks to the CTO:: CTO: Is Starfleet loosing there minds?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: As did I, my friends as did I.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::quietly:: TO: Apparently they have, Lt.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::sits heavily thinking of the lives that will be lost if this idiot gets command of that ship::
OPS_Jankara says:
::assumes that "No" the Captain doesn't want a comm line open to Admiral Hamilton::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
OPS: What kind of ship is the USS Natilan ?
OPS_Jankara says:
::downloads the orders and prepares to send them to Barrett::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: Until the XO has returned stable he is not to be told this at all is that clear.  I don't want him to go hunting for Barrett.
OPS_Jankara says:
CTO: She's a Nova class, Commander.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Agreed Captain.  He won't hear it from me or anyone in my department
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain...::gives a worried look:: they are going to give him a command after what he did?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: Apparently so Lt.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
OPS: Thank you
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
All: At least it is not a big ship only a Nova class.  Science vessel.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Maybe they haven't had time to read the reports.
OPS_Jankara says:
Self: I don't think I'd want to tell him...ever.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Very possible Commander.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::nods at the OPS::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
ALL: Or maybe they have and have something planned for him
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: I'll take the orders to him Captain with your permission of course.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: No send a yeoman with the orders.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: If that's true then somebody here needs to talk to somebody there and soon.  We have to drop him off there in 15 hours.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Perhaps Yeoman Kibbles?  ::thinks about the petite girl::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: I agree with you there.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: Understood but I think the Yeoman should still be escorted
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: If you can't have a yeoman take the orders then send them via the computer.  I don't want any one near him.  Is that understood.
OPS_Jankara says:
<Yeoman_Bubba> ::enters the bridge::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Lt, I've seen Yeoman Kibbles work out....she is quite good at the Klingon martial arts.  Don't let her small stature fool you
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Captain, Ma'am, It's my job to have those orders delivered not the Lieutenant's and I've just the man for the job::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Well then go ahead with it Jankara.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: Understood sir.
OPS_Jankara says:
::motions to the yeoman::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
All: It is not that I don't trust him it is that what ever he puts his hands on goes bad and I don't need him here on the DJ any longer than is needed.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: How are the engines holding up?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::nods and gives Jankara a small smile as she talks to the Yeoman::
OPS_Jankara says:
::downloads the orders to a PADD:: Yeoman: Take these to Major Barrett, please.  Be polite and make certain he is as well.  Dismissed.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Purring like a kitten, Captain.  The engines are fine.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Good news Commander.
OPS_Jankara says:
<Yeoman_Bubba> ::nods:: OPS: Aye Ma'am.  He be nice or I will show him some love with a big Bubba hug. ::grins and leaves the bridge::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves back to her station:: TO: Cover secondary, please Lt.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Make sure we stay with in the warp speed limitations.  I don't want to cause any problems in this area of space.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::nods:: CTO: Understood.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: We are operating within acceptable parameters of warp speed limit, Captain.
OPS_Jankara says:
::watches Bubba leave::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::unexpectedly slams her fist on her chair and shouts::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: Damn it to hell!!!
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::stands up:: CO: Captain???
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::steps back:: CO: Captain? Are you all right?
OPS_Jankara says:
::jumps out of her seat and bites her tongue to keep from screaming::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: I am sorry but this is outright stupidity what Starfleet is doing.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: You have the bridge till I gain my composure.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::storms off to her ready room::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::sits back down::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::sends a message alerting the security guards that the Yeoman is coming down:: CO: Captain.  ::understands what T'Ponga is feeling, since she has been there done that::
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Captain, with all due respect, I offered to get you a comm line to an Admiral.  If you want it, it's still ready. :: realizes she's talking to the CO's back and shuts up ::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Understood.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*OPS*: I heard you, get me that line please and I am sorry for scaring you.
OPS_Jankara says:
Self: We sit here and complain but nobody wants to call anybody and stop it.  It's like watching a kid play on the tracks with a train coming. ::sighs::
OPS_Jankara says:
*CO*: Aye Ma'am.
OPS_Jankara says:
::opens the line and waits for a response from Admiral Hamilton's office::
OPS_Jankara says:
*CO*: Line is open Captain.  I'm sending it through to you now.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::sits at her desk:: *OPS*: Understood.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::opens her computer::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at the closed door to the ready room and sighs softly, thinking back to all the good people she has seen that didn't come home::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
OPS: You think the captain can change Starfleet’s mind?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::face is set in stone waiting::
OPS_Jankara says:
TO: I think if she's the officer I know her to be, that she must try.
Host  Adm_Hamilton says:
ACTION: Admiral Hamilton's image appears on the Captain's console.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral Hamilton?
Host  Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Yes, Captain.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
OPS: I hope so. I don't want to see or hear of another Starfleet ship being lost because of Barrett.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: This is Capt. Shemara Arca of the Don Johnson.  I just received Barrett's orders and I have to protest sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: He caused the destruction and deaths of several Starfleet officers.  Sir I ask that you reconsider giving him a ship. Please for the sake of human beings.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: Sir I don't think you read all the reports that were sent to you.  I do agree that there was a break down in the chain of command but his track record sir is really what speaks for itself.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: Had he come to me in the proper format maybe those two ships would still be around instead of being destroyed.
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Captain Arca, I am familiar with Major Barrett's record, his entire record. I have read the reports. I see no reason to argue against his appointment.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::eyes go wide:: COM: Admiral: Sir?  You are in good conscious to condemn that entire crew to a death sentence?
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Captain, although Major Barrett may not be the most tactful man within Starfleet, his position has been well earned.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Lt. make sure the security team 'escorts' Barrett when we arrive.  They're not to let him out of their sight, until he is completely off this ship and in someone else’s hands.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::stares in disbelief::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: Gladly.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: And tell them to be 'very' polite
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Captain, suffice it to say that my security clearance is higher than yours and that I am privy to more information than you will ever see on the man. Perhaps you should have faith in the decisions of your superiors.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: Understood....I'll personally make sure they are very polite.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: Sir, it is unfortunate that you do not see Major Barrett from my point and unfortunately where I sit I see that he is quite fool hardy and willing to play with human lives.  Sir, with all due respect, he is one that I wouldn't want to serve under any circumstances.  But then again I am just a lowly Captain.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: You think we should his commander a report on him?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: I have to ask you one thing, did you receive my OPS officer report?
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Yes, Captain, I've received Lt. Jankara's report. I have received each and every report from your crew on this matter.
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: I also know of what information that you have concerning a mission where he basically ordered his men into a no win situation.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Lt. all we can do, as good Starfleet officers, is to attach a little notation that will let the commanding officer know that he or she can dig deeper and perhaps contact us to ask us questions.  That is all we really can do.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: Then you are going ahead and just give him lives to be lost.  Admiral there is no such thing as a no win situation.  I too took the Kobiashi Maru test when in the academy.  There is always a solution to every problem.
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: I also know of the reasons behind those orders and although his men were never corrected in their opinion of him, we at Starfleet Command do not see him as loathsome as you are painting him.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: Understood.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: I am not painting him I am just giving you the facts from my own observations sir.
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Captain, I suggest that you file your reports, file any grievances that you may have and let it rest. He may not be polished and most likely not assigned to diplomatic missions, he deserves his appointment.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Admiral: I will file my protests sir as you say but know this, by the gods I pray that he does not end up on this ship again.  He will be transferred to his ship at the appointed time as per his orders.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Of course if our paths cross with Barrett’s again, ::under her breath:: in a dark alley ::louder:: then we can go from there
OPS_Jankara says:
::sighs, really missing Johnny all of a sudden::
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: I've heard enough of this, Captain. File your grievance and let it rest. Otherwise I'll be forced to reconsider your own ability to command your ship.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::lets out a little laugh::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Taps the board a little harder than needed, checking the sensors again::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Understood Admiral. Shemara Arca out!
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
COM: CO: Good, see that it is done, Hamilton out. ::Melanie taps a key on her console and the screen goes blank::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::closes her computer::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::still sitting at her station at the helm::
OPS_Jankara says:
::sees the line close:: Self: And that's that.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
FCO: Commander, estimated arrival to Vulcan?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Qu'Valth!!!! P'tak, Lo-Be-Vos!!! Don't know what they are doing!!!!!!!  :: slams her fists on her desk ::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: ETA to Vulcan?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::starts to pace in her ready room trying to calm her Klingon boiling blood down before entering the bridge praying no one heard her yelling::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*/CTO: Fifteen hours, Captain, Commander.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: To long but thank you Commander. ::growls behind that::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods at Newell-McPhee::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Well, you told me to keep it within Starfleet regulation speed, sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Yes maintain the protocols.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::picks up the chair and throws it across the room::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Overhears the growl over the comm line::  ALL: I'd guess that it didn't ::hears a muffled crash from the ready room:: go so good.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::grabs another chair and tosses it across the room for good measure::
OPS_Jankara says:
::hears something crash in the Ready Room and prepares to order maintenance up to do some cleaning as soon as the Captain leaves::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: I guess not.
Host Adm_Hamilton says:
