EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::buttons up his dress uniform and sighs::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::finishes changing into her dress uniform, a bit heavy hearted::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, at helm, updating heading and speed::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*All Hands*: Attention crew, we will be meeting in cargo bay 1 for the memorial service for Lieutenant MacLeod in five minutes.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::checks the time and hears the comm heading out of his quarters and into a turbolift:: TL: Cargo Bay, One please.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::Exits her quarters and heads into a turbolift:: TL: Cargo Bay 1.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::hands off the helm to a duty FCO and excuses himself from the bridge, just enough time to grab a dress uniform and get to the cargo bay::  

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the corridors outside the Cargo Bay seeing a great sea of yellow dress uniforms::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::runs into quarters on deck 10, pulls his dress tunic out of his wardrobe and runs back out of quarters, heading to the cargo bay::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::Exits the turbolift and enters the cargo bay just behind Garlingus::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::enters the cargo bay at almost a full sprint, nearly colliding with Garlingus::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::watches as the new FCO enters, and almost smiles::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::checks his six as the unfamiliar red shirt damn near knocks him over:: FCO: Watch it... Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  Sorry, Lieutenant.  ::finishes buttoning up his tunic::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::arches his back and gets within an inch of the FCO's face:: FCO: You need to show respect today, or it will be the last day you pilot a starship... badly.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO/FCO: Gentlemen, please. Let's get through this as best we can.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
Under breathe:  Knuckle dragger.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::growls quietly and steps off:: CO: Yes... Captain.  ::looks back at the FCO with anger and then looks forward at the engineering department mustering and filing in ranks as he takes his place... Seamus's place at the front::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::stands at a point where she's facing all the assembled officers:: All: Thank you all for coming.  We are here today to remember Lieutenant Seamus MacLeod.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::hears the Captain start speaking and hangs his head::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Lieutenant MacLeod was an excellent officer.  He gave his life in defense of his people and the Engine Room.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: He was born on Earth, in the country of Scotland, to Robert and Mary MacLeod. He showed an aptitude early for engineering.  And it served him well on the Don Johnson.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: He was loved by all of us ::wipes a tear from her eye::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::remembers the EPS swap contest and how he always suspected the guy of cheating, but just couldn't prove it::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Would anyone else like to say anything?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::looks at the EO::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::clears his throat looking around at the Engineering Department then back at the Captain nodding::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::nods to the EO:: EO: Go ahead, Frank.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh (~CSO_LtCmd@odn-9DD6BDB.hsd1.az.comcast.net) has joined the conversation.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps forward standing next to the CO facing the crew assembled:: All: Seamus was more than a Chief Engineer to most of us... Well, he was a Chief Engineer to most of us, and more is what I mean of course.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::smiles at the EO::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::looks around:: All: To some of us, he was a friend, a colleague, and one very competent engineer.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
All: You see, there was this one time, where we had this competition of who could replace an EPS relay the fastest while we were still at warp...  I mean, I won of course.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Quietly listening from the back of the room.  There out of respect for a fellow officer and shipmate, but she had not been aboard the ship long enough to have known him.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::hears muffled protests from the crowd:: All: What? You all know he cheated, he clearly had done it before... ::grins:: 

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::chuckles a bit, she can feel the competitive energy of the Engineering crew::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::looks a bit lost::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
All: Lieutenant Seamus MacLeod was a hero.  He was killed in the line of duty before any of us wanted to see him go, and that's something we should never forget.  He was killed. He did not die.  He did not pass on. He was murdered.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
All: And for that, we will not rest until his murderers are brought to justice... ::pauses:: But...

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
All: Seamus would not have wanted that, probably... So we're gunna launch his stinkin' corpse out the airlock so he won't know, and don't none of you tell him!  ::smiles half cocked::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::chuckles::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: That's all I've got skipper.  ::falls back in::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::enters the main cargo bay, but stays at the back::

EO Reese says:
  ::standing beside Ebanez, holds her hand::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Thank you Frank.  We will all remember how Seamus died.  And we will honor him for his service.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Anyone else from Engineering or otherwise?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Mentally she debated the distinction the engineer was trying to make.  Not killed but murdered... No, she disagreed.  The CEO was killed in the line of duty; a much better way to die then be considered murdered.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::leans against the bulk head at the entrance to the main cargo bay, looking like he hasn’t slept in days, lowered his head and whispers:: Seamus: Take care chief...

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her sensitive hearing catches the first officer’s words.  The CEO would be missed.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs and looks around nodding to all the officers and crew in deep thought spotting the XO in the back then looking back forward::

EO Ebanez says:
 ::wipes a tear and squeezes Reese's hand while trying not to cry out loud::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::sees Lemmick in the back of the room:: XO: Commander Lemmick, would you like to say a few words before we give MacLeod a burial in space?

PO McPhist says:
::cradles the bottle of whiskey flavored synthale contemplating his next action::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
ALL: Seamus McLeod :: does his best Scottish accent::  was a great man as Frank said. He died saving all of our lives ::slowly starts to walk up to the front:: There wouldn't be a day when I wouldn't get some sort of message from him at the end of the shift wondering what the hell we were doing up on the bridge, us surface dwellers.

PO McPhist says:
::taps the EO on his shoulders:: EO: Now?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
McPhist: Shh, no, stand fast. ::listens to the XO's remarks::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::listens as Lemmick speaks::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::stands in front of the torpedo casing, placing a hand on it:: ALL: From what I know of the Chief, he worked hard and so did all his people. Frank, Reese, Ebanez just to name a few. It's at times like this when we should all stick together, not as a crew but as a Family. That's what we are....FAMLIY. We will move on, we will not forget. I relieve you Lieutenant Seamus McLeod, Chief Engineering Officer of the USS Don Johnson.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::nods in approval at the remarks::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::nods at the Captain::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::snaps too attention::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::Nods back:: XO: Thank you, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
Engineering Department: Do you all have a final send off for your chief before we launch?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
All: Attention on Deck! ::stands at attention:: McPhist: Now!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
::Stands at attention.::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::stands at attention::

PO McPhist says:
 ::runs up and breaks the  bottle over the CEO's casket and screams:: All: Oy!

PO McPhist says:
 ::runs back to his place in line and snaps to::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::stands at attention as best he can, smiles at the PO:: EO: Nice touch Frank

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::nods to the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: We now bid a final farewell, to our friend, our colleague, our brother, Lieutenant Seamus MacLeod.  ::nods at the one at the controls to launch the casing::

PO Sharlaton says:
::hits the button to beam the casket into the torpedo room loading room and watches as the automated systems load and promptly prepare the torpedo housing the CEO's body for its journey::

ACTION: As the preparations are complete, the torpedo carrying the remains of Commander Seamus MacLeod, hero to those aboard the Don Johnson and many more throughout the Federation, is launched into space.
