Mission Summary 11311.07

The USS Don Johnson has finally received word from Starfleet Command.  They have received their new sector assignment, and their new mission orders.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Start Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: On the bridge, her face neutral as she reads the new orders.  Inside her emotions swirl into a turmoil of disbelief.  How does one work with someone they have no respect for?::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
:: at his station::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::On the bridge, manning his station while eating a candy bar::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Taking a deep breath she looks over at Donovan::  OPS:  Prepare for departure.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::down in the lower decks inspecting weapons lockers::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::swallows:: CSO: Understood.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Inform the crew we will be departing in fifteen minutes.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::begins coordination with the flight control officer and station operations to decouple and prepare to leave::

Lt_Toral says:
::not having planned to be here more than a few days, Toral remains in Sin's quarters packing what little he brought with him to leave::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Stands and heads for the captain's ready room.::  CTO:  Lieutenant Telarus, join me.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
:: follows:: CSO: Aye.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::sends out a shipwide communique::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the doors close behind her, she turns to look at the tactical officer.::  CTO:  It would appear, we are being sent out without a command staff... other then myself.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::does a manual count of the weapons in a locker::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Dealing with the disbelief of Neepad having been given to them as their sector commander, still recovering the loss of their captain, and now this... the whole scenario begged to be asked if the Vroa were really rerouted.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::checks it against the expected inventory listed in a PADD::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Commander, I don't agree with the orders either, but what are we to do. I don't trust the Starbase staff either.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Our mission is to investigate a new celestial object... though what was not mentioned.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::scratches his head::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  We will proceed as if things were... normal.  For now, I will hold command.  I would ask that you stand as my second as needed.  I do not believe it will be needed, but it is best to be prepared.

Lt_Toral says:
::decides Sha's still doing whichever it was he'd been asked before Sin left, also finding it strangely... natural for a goodbye there to be seen as a sort of... afterthought, considers that a... benefit? ... to his mother's teachings as he closes the small duffle he'd brought with him::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Commander I am ready for anything you need me for. Before the Captain left, he did help me channel my thoughts regarding our current situation.

ACTION: All stations report ready for departure to the bridge.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::with a sigh closes the locker and moves on to the next one::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Something I could understand.  For now, you have the bridge.  As soon as all is clear, take us out.

Lt_Toral says:
::steps out of her quarters and makes his way for a lift, his destination the transporter room::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Aye aye.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: With that said, she gave a brief nod and headed out.  She had a guest to see to.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks out of the ready room and towards the Conn::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*TO*: Lieutenant report.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Stepping into the lift she asks the computer for the location of Toral.  Once given she sends the turbolift for the transporter room.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*CTO*:  Performing regular duties related to the armory.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
OPS: Make ready for departure, inform all stations. Send message to the station we are departing on our orders.

Lt_Toral says:
::the lift slows, stops, and the vulcan officer in his official starfleet security uniform moves swiftly for the transporter room::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CTO: We are ready for departure.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, she briefly pauses before stepping off and heading down the hall to the transporter room.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Meeting up with Toral at the transporter room door she looks at him, a touch of wryness in her eyes.::

Lt_Toral says:
::pauses, turns to meet her, silently lifts an eyebrow::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Toral:  You heard... I wish... :: sighs:: But it is not possible, I know.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Helm: Helmsman make your course for Sector AH-42, Warp Four. Engage.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::wondering what that was about as he arrives at the next weapons locker on his list::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*TO*: Need you on the bridge, hand the duty off to the security team supervisor and man tactical please.

ACTION: The USS Don Johnson jumps to warp in accordance with the CTO's orders.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to enter the transporter room, their time almost over with.::

Lt_Toral says:
CSO: I am always, when I am needed. As I have been. ::he reaches to gently place a hand on her shoulder, though he follows her to the transporter room:: As I will be.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*CTO*:  I'll be there shortly.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Tilts her head, a touch of humor entering her eyes.::  Toral:  It would appear we were more prepared then I thought.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::resecures the weapons locker::

Lt_Toral says:
::raises the other eyebrow, watching as the ship goes to warp... that may have just been the slightest trace of a smirk:: CSO: It would appear that I am needed.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::proceeds to a turbolift::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*TO*: Move with some spirit Lieutenant I need you up here, I am at the Conn and I need my best officer at tactical.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Toral:  I do not suppose you would like to join us for a mission?  Extend your vacation?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Waiting for his response before activating her commbadge... if she needed to.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Commander we are on our way to Sector AH-42 per your command we departed as soon as all stations reported in . I also informed Captain Neepad of our departure.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*CTO*:  On my way.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::steps into the turbolift::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::begins to develop a stomach ache. Has another candy bar::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  I believe our people were just as ready to head out as we are... :: looks at Toral with a lifted brow::

Lt_Toral says:
CSO: I shall inform Vulcan of the situation pending a determination of the precise situation. ::he nods:: And as I recall, you were short in potentially key positions.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
TL:  Bridge.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
OPS: I hear your stomach rumbling from here, are you ok Ensign?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::whistling as he rides along in the TL::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::chewing, hold his hand up while he swallows the last bite:: CTO: I'm fine.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lowers her hand, her eyes lit with a smile if not her face.::  Toral:  Thank you.  You will need to check in with OPS on the basics as well.  :: turns to leave the transporter room.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
OPS: Well I would stop with the candy bars, we are under a microscope and our ship physicals are in a few weeks.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::waits patiently while the TL stops on Deck 5 to pick someone up::

Lt_Toral says:
::the other eyebrow wings up, but he follows her back the way they both just came:: CSO: Naturally.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::smiles at the attractive crewperson as they step into the lift::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CTO: Yeah, I think I've had enough.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::engages in small talk as the lift doors swoosh shut and they continue their ascent::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Toral:  Drop your stuff back in my quarters.  :: pauses and turns to look at him.::  If you will be staying with us for a bit, you might want your own room.  Though I doubt Sha minds sharing with you or me.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::smiles pleasantly at the attractive crewperson as they disembark::

Lt_Toral says:
CSO: As you wish. The administrative details can be sorted at our leisure. ::he shifts the bag as they step into a lift::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::resumes whistling as the lift doors swoosh shut::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
OPS: Time until we reach Sector AH-42?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods::  *CTO*:  I will be in the main science lab if you need me.  I would like more information on what we are visiting.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::riding along in the turbolift::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::wonders where Lieutenant Ki is::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops at deck seven, she pauses briefly before stepping off.::  Toral:  I will see you when you are settled.  :: almost smiles::  I will keep the doors open.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::emerges from the turbolift onto the bridge::

Lt_Toral says:
CSO: Lieutenant Arinoch will be.... ::the Vulcan considers a moment:: ... pleased.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CTO: 2 hours 54 minutes and 39 seconds from....now!

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::proceeds to the tactical console::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Just shakes her head and heads down the hall toward the main lab.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::logs on::

Lt_Toral says:
::lets the lift door close, and orders it to return him to the deck holding Sin's quarters, absently folding his hands in front of him as the lift takes off again::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Entering the lab, she heads over to one of the areas set up for substance analysis.::  Tech Jerome:  Have we figured out anything about that substance yet?

Lt_Toral says:
::steps off the lift, moves back into Sin's quarters, and finds an out of the way place to temporarily--yes, it would be temporary--set his bag::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::checks their orders::

Tech Jerome says:
:: looks up from a different project and reaches over for the padd with the update of the goo.::  CSO:  Not much more I could find out.  :: looks at the padd::  WE have molasses and sugar... candy if you would.

Tech Jerome says:
:: taps the padd for the next screen and turns to hand it to her.::  CSO:  There are traces elements of neurological tissue, but the computer cannot seem to identify it.  :: shrugs::  Listed it as undeterminable species.

Lt_Toral says:
::turns about to leave again, his destination the bridge to deal with some of those administrative details::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: reading through the data, she shakes her head::  Jerome: So it still could have been some form of trick or sabotage.  Share your results with the station.  They should read the same, but one never knows.  They also have more people on it.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: Ki run a level five diagnostic on all tactical systems please.

Lt_Toral says:
::stepping into a lift, he requests the bridge, then finds a spot in the center of the lift to wait for it to stop::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hands the padd back.::  Jerome:  I will be in astrometrics.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CTO:  Will do

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
OPS: Ensign, please communicate to Engineering our current diagnostic and have them conduct a level 5 of their systems as well. Please have it ready in one hour so that I can make my OOD report.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Helm: Helmsman please take us to Warp Five.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: with that, she heads out the door and down the hall toward the end.  Activating the door, she walks in and closes it, waiting a moment for her eyes to adjust before opening the inner door and entering.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CTO: I'll be sure to

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::intiates diagnostics::

Lt_Toral says:
::steps off the lift, casts a look about the bridge and draws a nod to the man of his equal rank in the center chair before moving, with a degree of confidence, towards the operations station::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::looks at the newcomer wondering who the hell he is::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her eyes not needing lighting at all, she does not bother with the running lights as she makes her way to the console.  Taking a seat, she pulls up the data.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::Looks up at the new arrival::

ACTION: The USS Don Johnson increases velocity to Warp 5.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Lt_Toral: Welcome aboard Lieutenant Toral.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CTO:  Diagnostics complete.  No problems identified.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: notes the increase and little more as she takes the data given and pulls up sector AH-42, adding the newest sensor readings.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::takes PADD and polls the computer for the diagnostic results to put in the OOD report::

Lt_Toral says:
::from a uniform pocket, he produces a PADD with ID information and slides it to the OPS chief:: OPS: You will find my information to be valid, ensign. It would appear your departure has necessitated a change in my own arrangements. I will need temporary quarters while we are in transit.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
Toral: Give me a minute, I'm sure we have plenty of room. We've had a rash of departures, and have not take on any new crew to replace them.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Watches as the stars spread above her.::  *CTO*:  Sector AH-42 is basically a red giant with three planets.  None of them are habited.

Lt_Toral says:
OPS: As I have been made aware. The shift in arrangements, then, may be mutually beneficial. ::decidedly does not elaborate::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::overhears:: Lt_Toral: Glad that you will be sticking around for a little bit to help us out. I apologize for keeping you, we had received orders to head out. This should be a run in the park mission, we will have you on your way before you know it. Thank you for the help though.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Looks at the celestial object being added in by the computer.::  *CTO*:  We are going to be checking out a gaesous cloud.  It appears to shift from blues and greens.  SEnsors read a combination of gases that are volatile... about 10%.  The rest is inert.  I am not reading anything more of interest.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::looks over the padd, and finding everything in order, hands it back to him:: Toral: I'm putting you in regular officers quarters, you should be comfortable. 

Lt_Toral says:
::an eyebrow goes up, and he shifts to address the man in the center chair:: CTO: We do what is necessary, lieutenant. I will remain as needed.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::checks the database for any known tactical reports on their destination::

Lt_Toral says:
::accepts the PADD, tucks it back wenst it came:: OPS: That will suffice, ensign.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::while the computer is searching, thoughts drift off to his other problem::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Thank you Commander, noted. All is well up here and met Lieutenant Toral. Ensign Donovan is helping the Lieutenant get situated.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Downloads the information with additions and forwards it to science and the main system for others to view as interested or needed.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Then I will leave things in your hands.  Let me know when we our ETA is fifteen minutes.  I will see if there is anything more I can gather about the region and phenomena.  Bring us to an all stop at the edge of the system.

Lt_Toral says:
::stepping away, he elects to move his things to his own quarters later... instead, moves to occupy an auxiliary console and brings himself up to date on the ship's basics... he'd move to fill a hole when there was a hole to fill::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Aye aye Commander. Will do. Telarus out.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::notices the search came up with pretty much nothing::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Lt_Toral: Please work with our Operations officer and prepare three class three probes and one class four to deploy once we reach the system.
