Mission Summary 11407.17

All Heavy Class VI worker bees have been dispatched and major repairs are complete.  Structural Integrity has been restored across all decks and supplemental life support systems have been disconnected. Main power is still being received from the maintenance dock.

The ship is still undergoing minor superficial repairs to the external hull, and a resurfacing team has only completed the lettering which reads "USS Do  Jo  son"

Ship's turbolifts are functioning normally, and all internal systems are undergoing heavy diagnostics before turning over to their respective ship's department staff for final approval.

The ship has not been cleared for departure and the crew is scattered between remaining shore leave, and reviewing Starbase damage and repair reports (SDRR).

@::walks out of his quarters on the Starbase and makes his way to the walking corridor between the Starbase and the Don Johnson greeting people with a solemn nod along the way::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Leaving Stellar Cartography and heading for the bridge to look over sensor calibrations.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reviewing the personnel assignments for his department and approving equipment deliveries::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::submits the report to the Captain::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: This is Telarus, we are getting ready to bring main power online, warp core start-up sequence in ten minutes.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::stands and wipes his hands::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::looks over the tactical department requisitions, and notes that indeed the vast majority of the tactical department is being replaced::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
@::arrives at the airlock security checkpoint and smiles at the Petty Officer standing guard as he walks by him::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
~~~listens~~~

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*CEO*: Have at it, but we won't be leaving for some time. We have lots to keep us busy until the captain gets back, that not being the least of it.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Quietly whispers planet and constellation names to himself in the turbolift.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::leaves the office.  Passes through the armoury at a brisk walk::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*OPS*: Just want to be ready. We still have a lot to do, hopefully all smoothly.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Reaches the bridge and walks to his station deep in thought.::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Sighs, stretches and looks around the bridge.:: OPS: Hey there, Lieutenant.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*CEO*: Glad you're on top of things. I'm going to be rerouting some of the station power we’re currently on to science, as the entire science sensor array was upgraded, as you know. Assuming....never mind, he's here.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::steps off on board the Don Johnson on Deck 8 and into a turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: Good to see you. You have a plethora of new toys at your disposal. Bringing them online...::presses a few buttons:: Now.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::waiting for a turbolift::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: Much obliged. I can't wait to play around with them. It's always wonderful to have something new to configure.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*OPS*: I guess time to get the show on the road. ::receives notification that the Vice Admiral is on board::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::enters a turbolift::  TL:  Bridge

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::looks to the CTO who boarded his turbolift:: CTO: Commander Tamaste, you are the new Chief Tactical Officer, are you not?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::nods at the VADM::  VADM:  I have that honour.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::see's the never ending stream of redshirts coming through the docking ring and reporting in, thinks Tamale is really a pain in the ass for doing this::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::nods looking ahead without any particular expression:: CTO: My staff alerts me that you have made some change within your department recently, do you hope to bring better cohesion to this crew by this action?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  You can put it like that if you like.  The real reason has more to do with corruption in the tactical department.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Your predecessor included.  ::steps off onto the bridge:: All: Where is Captain So'tsoh?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::steps out as the TL opens onto the bridge::  All:  Admiral on the bridge.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Snaps to attention.::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
VADM: I believe she is on the station.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::kind of busy, doesn't come to attention::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: As you were.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Returns to his calibrations as if nothing had happened.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watches the ensign’s appropriate response to protocol.  Makes a mental note for future reference::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
OPS: On the station? I just came from the station. ::walks over to the Operations officer:: OPS: There is an official tour on the schedule, am I mistaken?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watching Donovan and D'Sorot::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: Ensign, I see you've got a .0000000001 phase variance discrepancy in the lateral sensor array. Are you doing something with it? Recalibration? VADM: To be honest Sir, I'm uncertain if there is one scheduled or not, I'm kind of overwhelmed at the moment. There are a large amount of personnel transfers - more than 20 times the usual. ::glares at Tamaste::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::starts up the warp core::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
OPS:  I'd be happy to tour the Vice Admiral around.  ::smiles winningly::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: I'm just getting myself familiar with the differences in the new hardware and training my muscle memory.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant warp core is coming online. Running level one diagnostic on new system installations.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  Maybe we could start in Engineering?

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::looks over to the Commander then back to Lieutenant Donovan:: CTO: Very well.  Please proceed.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*CEO*: Great. Try not to blow anything up this time. Please.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
~~~CSO:  I'll get him out of your hair.~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
OPS:  Notify Telarus we're coming.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CTO: Aye

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*OPS*: Good sense of humor. I had the teams replace the electrical wiring out with newer higher grade cable. The load bearing rating on the system has actually improved.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
~~~CTO: Thank you, sir. Not too comfortable with the big wigs yet. Don't want to make a fool of myself.~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  I have concerns about that department.  I'll tell you about it on the way.  ::gestures towards the open turbolift::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*CEO*: The Vice Admiral will be touring engineering momentarily. Commander Tamaste will be bringing him.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*OPS*: Roger that. Thank you.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::nods and steps into the turbolift:: CTO: I will hear your concerns Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
Engineering: Everyone assume muster position. All essential personnel as you were.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Takes the sensors through their paces, monitoring how they respond.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::waits until the TL doors swish shut::  VADM:  In my first four hours aboard, we had a ship wide gas "leak" that knocked out over 90% of the crew.  Then communications went down.  Then there was a mysterious explosion in engineering.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::monitors plasma flow and anti-matter intake and injection to main core::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
Self: Ugh. Admiralty...

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::nods:: CTO: Yes, I have read all the reports Commander.  I was hoping you would have something more to add than the official record.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
EO: Get me the PADD with the summary report of all repairs and log file of all major items.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Tests the various tactical sensors and hums to himself quietly, hoping quietly enough not to bother the OPS.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<EO> CEO: Aye sir, here you go.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watches the TL doors open::  VADM:  Ki was dirty. Telarus was his commanding officer.  You have to wonder.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::gets a bit fed up with all of the business and crosses the bridge to the empty captains ready room, having hacked the captains entry coded long ago. Once inside, replicates two cherry limeades, and returns to the bridge, and heads to the science station:: CSO: You have to try this. ::holds out a cup to him::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::heads down the corridor towards Engineering trusting that the VADM is falling in line::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reviews the PADD with the reports::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::steps off the turbolift in the corridors outside of Main Engineering walking slowly:: CTO: I disagree, that is not what our intelligence has reported.  Commander Telarus is an exceptional officer, and has proven so time and time again.  I would not have approved his recent promotion if that were not the case.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Looks up at OPS with a raised eye brow.:: OPS: Ho... Whe... .... Never mind. ::Takes the cup and takes a taste.:: Mmmm!

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: That's very good. What is it?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:: So he's just incompetent then.  ::enters Engineering::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::express no emotion at the CTO's remark and enters Main Engineering:: All: Where is the Chief Engineer?

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Idly scans the cup just to test internal sensors.::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::speaks absently as he sips:: CSO: It's called a "Cherry Limeade". Some Executive officer from some long-dead ship programed it. Guy named Pangborn.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reviews the power relays diagram station to ensure proper power routing and no power leaks::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
All: Attention on deck.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: Limeade? Interesting name... ::Sips from the cup slowly.:: So you have the code to the captain's ready room?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::goes to attention at the sound of the Vice Admiral's inquiry of him::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watches Telarus::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: As you were, I say again where is the Chief Engineer? ::looks around at collars searching for pips::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::watches his officers and enlisted mustered at attention and the rest of his staff at attention::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: Lieutenant Commander David Telarus, sir. Welcome aboard and to Engineering.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
Engineering: Resume previous duties ::staff stands down from muster::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: Of course. Telarus programmed it.  I hacked it a long time ago. Thing is, you can't get a Cherry Limeade anywhere else, from any other replicator. Almost like the Pangborn guy had his eyes on this ship. ::Moves back to operations.:: You have three new science officers coming aboard today. One botanist, two particle physicists.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::extends a hand:: CEO: Good to meet you Commander.  What is the status of your ship?

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: I didn't even know you could restrict the replicators that way. I guess I never thought of it. Captain's taste buds only, I suppose.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::shakes the VADM's hand:: VADM: Thank you sir, the feeling is mutual. The ship is nearing complete of all repairs and we have the warp core coming online as we speak.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: A botanist, eh? About time we can get someone into the arboretum who won't kill all the plants.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::finds it interesting that the CEO would share his feelings with the VADM.::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
CEO: Thank you for answering the question I read in the official report before coming aboard. ::looks to the CTO:: CEO: Now please answer my question.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::thinks it denotes a certain familiarity.... an intimacy even::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: I think it's in the priority hierarchy or something. She's bringing some plants aboard that only grown in a near zero gravity environment. You'll have to set up an area for that in the  arboretum.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::wonders if the VADM and the CEO are lovers::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: Sir, I can give you a full run down of all system status or a summary which ever you prefer.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::wonders if he made a serious tactical error in discussing Telarus with the VADM:

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: I also have this report here ::hands him the PADD:: this details our repairs, their schedule, and the remainder schedule. It also has all major prior events to our docking for major repairs and recommendations on upgrades not completed at this time and those that were completed as well.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: Shouldn't be a problem. Anybody: Zero gravity only? Do they require a vacuum? It's kind of odd to find zero-gravity with atmosphere in the wild, isn't it? Maybe they're artificial.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::accepts he can do nothing now but watch and wait::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::shakes his head not taking the report:: CEO: Commander Telarus you disappoint me.  CTO: Commander, what is the status of the tactical systems aboard this ship?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  I'll just get that information aggregated for you right now.  ::moves to a console and logs on::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::drops his head in disappointment:: CTO: Commander, please return.  CEO/CTO: How long have you two served in Starfleet?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CTO: Commander, please use this station here. It's an upgraded ship wide display. You should be able to obtain the information the Admiral requests.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  All right.  ::returns::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: How long have you been on the ship, Lieutenant?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  Coming up 20 years now, Sir.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: I have to admit, I don't understand the experiment. It doesn’t require a vacuum, just the near zero gravity. I think the plants come from some small asteroid or something that has an atmosphere. I've been here for about a year. Why?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: I am at 15 years sir. Enjoyed the time.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::nods to both then looks to the CTO:: CTO: Would you please ask me the readiness status of the fleet assigned to Starbase 320?

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: Just curious. You just seem very comfortable with your superiors. I still feel like I'm going to get myself in trouble every time I get near them. I have a bit of a penchant for gabbing, if you haven't noticed.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Smiles sheepishly.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  Sure.  What's the readiness status of the .... As you said, Admiral?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::waits for the answer::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::responds sharply:: CTO/CEO: The Federation vessels within this sector are .. ::raises his voice:: Ready. ::pauses looking between the officers:: Willing. ::pauses again:: And able.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
CEO: What is the readiness status of your department, Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::understands the meaning::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::finishes the cherry limeade:: CSO: We spend a Lot of time in close quarters. You have to figure out how to belong or you're screwed. I've known all of the officers for some time, with the exception of the Admiral.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: ::with a strong voice:: Ready, Willing, and Able, sir! Serving with Honor, Courage, and Commitment!

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
CTO: And you Commander, What is the readiness status of your department?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  Do you want the truth or some meaningless bullshit?

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: The truth Commander.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
::Nods to himself.:: OPS: I don't have problems fitting in. It's just the uptight officers that don't tend to like me...

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::waits to hear the next few moments::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  The truth is that the new personnel are settling in.  We've had some upgrades I need to inspect... and that where we're at.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::nods to the CTO:: CEO: Lieutenant Commander Telarus, prepare to get this ship underway.  Your team has had long enough.  I expect final diagnostics and system turnovers to be completed within 3 days.  ::turns on his heel:: CTO: We will resume our tour now.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  Sure.  How about we check out the main lounge?  This is thirsty work.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::goes to attention:: VADM: Aye aye sir. We will be ready to go at your command. My staff is more than able.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: Here are the two clues I can give you. Make that three. The captain will tolerate anything, indeed, approve of anything as long as you do your job. As for the others...Telarus is an ass, and a suck up who should have been demoted a long time ago. Tamaste is also uptight, possibly paranoid, but you can safely ignore him. Essentially, everyone here is harmless. Except maybe me. 

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
I did try to kill Telarus once. Even ordered a tactical guy to fire on him too.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::nods:: CTO: That would be most acceptable.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
CEO: Very well Mr. Telarus, as you were.

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: Really? What prompted that?! Wow! The things you see and hear as a bridge officer...

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: Aye sir. ::resumes working on the core start-up::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::leaves Engineering assuming the VADM is falling in line::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: It's a long story. He very nearly started an interstellar war and needed containment. It worked. We both missed him, and our phasers were on stun.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::curiously asks as he walks with Tamaste:: CTO: Your respect of rank is trivial.  Do you find it unnecessary?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
EO: Bring up the power grid. Get me the diagnostics report on the impulse drive and the RCS thrusters.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  Have I been disrespectful towards you?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<EO> CEO: Aye sir. ::grabs the reports::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant what systems are you working on? I am trying to knock out some of the workload today before end of shift.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
CTO: Protocol would dictate you speak without profanity toward a senior officer.  However, I often do not tolerate that particular ... what was it you said?  Meaningless bullshit?  ::smiles wryly::

CSO_Ens_Bastellan says:
OPS: Yeesh. What'd he do, call a Klingon a wuss?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
VADM:  I'm straight shooter Sir.  Don't mistake that for disrespect.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*CEO*: Keep an eye on science's sensor array, it's in full use. Other than that, we're on station power, so do as you like. I'm still processing cargo manifests and the like. You have six new engineers this time around.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::looks at the Warp Core as it starts to purr to life and power levels from the ship systems starts to increase:: Self: Ah perfection.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CSO: Worse. Opened fire on a Romulan ship we were invited to speak with...like I said, long story.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
Engineering: Good work everyone, but more to do. ::walks over to a station to continue to monitor, looking over his people::
