Mission Summary 11410.30

Three days have passed since the attack on Starbase 320. The Admiral has requested a special audience with the bridge officers of the USS Don Johnson.

He feels they are due a special debriefing and consideration for their recent efforts in defending the Starbase against the Klingon attack.

The crew of the now scrapped Telemacus, sister ship of the Rhadey are severely distraught by the fate of their sister shipmates.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::sitting on the bridge in the command chair:: Computer: Locate the Captain.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
<Computer> XO: The Captain is not on board the ship.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::sitting at his station, finalizing his report with updated statistics::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
:: Standing at his post, a bit apprehensive after the semi-subterfuge he committed::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::leaning casually on the handrail::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::enters the turbolift from the docking ring deck:: TL: Bridge.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::frowns:: OPS: Hail the Starbase, find out where the Captain is, Lieutenant.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::walks off the turbolift and looks around::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
XO: Aye. ::hails the starbase::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
All: Attention on deck!

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::straightens up::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: As you were. ::walks over to the XO and hands him a padd extending his hand to shake it::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watching the Admiral wondering if it’s true what he heard about him placing a bet on the fight::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::finishes updating his report::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::stands, taking the PADD in one hand, shaking the Admirals hand in the other:: Admiral: Welcome aboard, Admiral. ::looks down, reading the padd’s contents::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::sees the interaction and is curious about our new orders, or what could be on the PADD::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
XO: Thank you Mr. Robertson.  ::shakes the XO's hand then goes to stand between OPS and the Helm:: All: I am sure you have been wondering what events transpired over the past few days since the attack, and I am also sure you are wondering why we destroyed the USS Rhadey.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::holds the padd to the side, listening to the Admiral::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::focuses attention::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::goes back to leaning on the handrail::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
XO: Still no response from the station Sir.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: The last time we all met, you all did not seem very 'fond' of my actions or assessment of your performance.  I assure you, The Federation is not in the business of murdering anyone as some of your personal logs may have implied.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods:: OPS: Very well, Lieutenant.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::interested to hear that the Admiral monitors their personal logs::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::looks at the Lieutenant at OPS then at the XO:: XO: Something I can answer for you?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
VADM: Nothing from me.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::wonders what justifies that intrusion on their privacy::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
VADM: Yes, Admiral. I am trying to locate our Commanding Officer. She wanted to be aboard by now.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
XO: She will join you when the time is right.  I have her on temporary assignment, which is all you need to know.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::continues addressing the room:: All: Ambassador Rabak as he introduced himself to you is not an Ambassador of any kind representing any world, alliance or faction.  He is a known terrorist that is causing turbulence in our sector but reaches far and wide throughout all member worlds of the Federation.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::narrows his eyes as he watches the Admiral::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::continues listening, the padd at his side::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: He is also... Not dead.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
Self: Great!

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::thinks that nobody stays dead for long around these parts::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::can’t say he’s surprised, continues listening::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: Your orders as I have just issued them to your Executive Officer are to depart immediately for the Megara system where we believe the Rhadey crew are being held as laborers at a deuterium mining operation.  Any questions?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
VADM: And what are we to do there, Admiral?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::shakes his head then stands up straight::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::looks at the XO crossly and lowers his voice:: XO: Rescue ... our ... officers.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::activates the main tactical console::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Commander, permission to speak?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods at the CEO::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::initiates a search for information on the Megara system::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
VADM: Admiral, to my knowledge that area is heavily fortified with the worst and most well-armed element. How are we going to accomplish our goal? Will we be receiving any sort of tactical support to do so, or will this fall on the senior staff? I ask because with going up with enemies such as we are expecting, I want to make sure that I can count on the personnel to protect Engineering if I need it.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
aFCO: Lay in a course for the Megara system, maximum warp. Estimate time to arrival.  OPS: Request departure clearance from the Starbase.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::glares at the CEO willing him to attend to his own business for a change::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
XO: Aye.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::asks for clearance from the station from station operations::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO: Your information is out of date since you have busied yourself with engineering duties.  The Megara 2 is a Federation member planet.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::still frowning furiously, attends to his readouts::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
VADM: Admiral, is there anything else we should know before you get back to the Starbase?

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
ACTION: Starbase Operations acknowledges the Don Johnson and opens the outer doors sending the all clear for disembarkation.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
<aFCO_Montana> ::works her console feverishly:: XO: Course laid in, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::begins disseminating the mission information to his team::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
XO: We've been cleared.

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
XO: We have very limited intelligence on the area, The Megarites are not very forthcoming.  You have all that I know to give you, Commander.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods:: VADM: We’ll get them back, Admiral. I’m ready to get underway as soon as you’re safely aboard the station. ::holds out his hand for the Admiral::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
::shakes the XO's hand:: XO: I will be on my way, then. ::taps his comm badge:: *SB320*: Transporter room, this is Admiral D`Sorot, one to beam back please.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::begins calculating how close in they'll need to be before beginning scans of the system::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: You have the Bridge. Take us out as soon as we clear the moorings and the outer space dock doors, Commander. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: May I see you in the Ready Room, Commander?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
XO:  Sure.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
*TO_Keli*:  Get up here.  Now.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Aye Commander.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::steps towards the Ready Room, allowing Commander Telarus to have the bridge as he goes inside, looking apprehensively at the Captain’s chair before standing by it::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::takes the command chair::

Host VADM_D`Sorot says:
All: Godspeed. ::dematerializes off the bridge::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::looks toward Donovan:: OPS: Ever been there before?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Can't say as I have. You?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::follows the XO::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
<TO_Keli>::arrives on the bridge and takes over the main tactical station::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Please notify the station we are clearing all moorings.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::turns to the CTO, pausing a moment in thought about how to begin::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: Again? Why? We were cleared for departure some time ago. Go.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::looks at the XO curiously::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::shakes her head:: OPS: Nope, this is ... ::stops talking and looks back at the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Yes please. Verify that we have disconnected all moorings and secured all doors.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: Verified.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
aFCO: Montana please take us out nice and easy maneuvering thrusters only until we are in pattern to clear the doors and then proceed at quarter impulse.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Thank you.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
*EO_Rodgers*: Bridge to Engineering, confirm all systems status and report to Operations with all statuses.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CTO: Commander, in lieu of the Captain being aboard for this mission, I’m naming you as acting XO while she is on this.. temporary assignment.  You will be in command of the mission to rescue the crew of the Rhadey.  Take it and run with it, do the necessary research and what you need to do to get them back safely.  I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye Commander, but I also know that you are a fine Tactical Officer.  Take whatever crew you need.  Any questions for me?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<EO_Rodgers> *CEO*: Aye sir.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::taps away at her console:: CEO: Aye sir, Moorings cleared.  Maneuvering thrusters engaged. ETA to space doors 1 minute.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::eyes the XO suspiciously::  XO:  No questions so far.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<EO_Rodgers> *OPS*: Sir, Commander Telarus asked me to confirm with you all systems are green. We are cleared for warp as soon as we clear the station.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*EO*: Acknowledged

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods:: CTO: Very well then Commander, carry on. Let’s get these men back.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
XO:  I want the Counsellor on the team.  Where's he been lately anyway?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Please forward the new orders to all departments. Let's hope we have what it takes to get them all back in one piece.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::maneuvers the ship past the inbound traffic of workerbees and shuttles wishing she had a 21st century horn:: CEO: We are clear of the space doors, sir.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: They've got them.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CTO: He’s taken some personal time for some recuperation of his own.  He won’t be available, unfortunately.  Anything else?  I suggest we find out what we’re dealing with though, before choosing a team, per se.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
XO:  If I'm in charge of this, you best back off and let me do it my way.   With all due respect, of course.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
aFCO: All ahead full. Clear the station perimeter and set course for the Megara system Warp 5

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CTO: With all due respect Commander, do it your way, but follow regs and be willing to take some advice on occasion. Remember, if you screw up, I’m still going down with you.  We clear?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CTO: That being said, if this comes to an away mission, it’s all yours.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: How do you think the Rhadey crew got captured to begin with?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::does not like what the XO is implying, but knows he always has to have the last word::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CEO: Aye sir.  ::engages impulse engines:: OPS/CEO: Did we get a new pod when we were in Space Dock? I was busy working on my qualifications to have noticed..

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::keeps his mouth shut but resolves to do things as he sees fit::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::stands waiting for an answer::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks at the PADD in his hand, beginning to read his orders::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: I know there were some additions in equipment in my department, you get any requisitions for a new pod?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::looks up:: CEO: What?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
aFCO: I know that we were able to salvage some upgraded equipment from the Rhadey salvage before she was decommissioned.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::nods:: CEO: You mean the Telemacus?  I heard about that, so sad...

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
aFCO: Sorry you're right I got my ships confused. The Telemacus did us proud and glad we were able to put some of her in us.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks back up:: CTO: Commander, if we are unclear about following regulations, I’m certain that Lieutenant Commander Telarus could take the job of acting-Exec instead.  The choice is yours. I’m going out on a limb here with you, and I don’t want to regret it in the end.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: The pod, is it still our torpedo pod or did we get something else new out of the Telemacus that I don't know about?

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CEO: I do too sir, I almost reported to the wrong one when we left dock the first time! ::chuckles and turns red:: OPS: It's a good thing I was following someone... I don't recall who that was.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
XO:  Do what you think is best.  I didn't ask for this.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: I don't know offhand. I have a big departemt and we handle hundreds of requests a day.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Could you look it up for us please. Just curious, I am in the same boat, I have a lot of new systems and connections to go over. It was some pretty nice upgrades.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: I'll see. Kind of busy.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: What is going on?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: Job is going on.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::sighs as he takes a seat in the Ready Room chair:: CTO: What I thought was best would be to work as a team, Commander.  Apparently I was wrong. You will continue to handle the Tactical Department. I will take care of the rest. Please send in Lieutenant Commander Telarus. Dismissed.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CEO: We are at the edge of the system sir, course laid in to the Megara system at Warp 5.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: ...by the way if you are short staffed for the demand take some of my staff on TAD.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
aFCO: Engage.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::shrugs and leaves the room::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: How many people do you need?

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::engages warp engines:: CEO: Warp Engines engaged.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: I have all the people I need.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CEO: Boss man wants to see you. ::gestures towards the ready room::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
CTO: Understood, your ship Commander. ::gets up and heads toward the Captain's Ready Room::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::nods at Lt. Keli as he relieves her::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::looks back at the shift change:: CTO: On course warp 5 to the Megara system, sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::enters the room:: XO: Commander, Commander Tamaste said you wanted to see me.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::nods at OPS as he takes his station::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods:: CEO: Have a seat.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Aye sir. ::takes a seat across from the desk::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CEO: How’s Engineering right now, Commander?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::looks at the display:: *Bridge*: Increase speed to Warp 8.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Rodgers has taken some bumps and bruises, but I have confidence in him as my number two. The staff is settling into to some of the previous staff changes, and we are purring like a kitten. The upgrades and new supplies and parts, put us in good shape.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::looks back at the CTO:: CTO: Sir?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::thinking the XO asked because of what happened before with Sterling and hopes he doesn't have to break someone new in::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::was woolgathering::  aFCO:  What?

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CTO: I think that was the XO over the comm.  Should we increase speed to Warp 8?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
aFCO: He's the boss.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CEO: Fantastic. I’m going to need your help on this mission with the Captain gone.  I know you’ve had your differences with Commander Tamaste, but I’m going to need you to put them aside for this mission.  We have a job to do, and frankly, as the tactical expert, he’s going to be in charge of this next mission.  Also, without the Captain aboard, I’m moved him to acting Exec as well.  There going to be any is with that?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
XO: Absolutely not sir, we have people to rescue and that is my priority along with the ship first. I know we will need to be working even closer, but I can do it.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::nods and increases ship's speed to warp 8:: CTO: Aye sir, now travelling at Warp 8.0

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
aFCO:  How long until we're in sensor range?
