USS Seleya 10504.03

"What the...?" - Part 1

SUMMARY: The Nadaras situation seems to be resolved for the moment. The crew can be called back at a later stage if needs be, but for now, they have other things to concentrate on.

<<< Start Mission >>>

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
@::Getting his things ready to return from Luna to the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Sitting in a pile of containers, he throws the PADD across the cargo bay:: Self: Two days, two days I've been sorting through this mess they call the tactical supplies.  Ooohh, if I ever find Wiggins, where ever he's gone, I'll kill him.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
@::Approaching his nude family:: Parents: Mother, Father thank you for a great time. I will be returning to the ship now. 

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Picks himself up and looks around the cargo bay:: Self: Ah nuts, I need that PADD ::Begins looking around for it mumbling to himself:: Self: They're just lucky I like tactical, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this ::Stubbs his toe on a random container and begins hopping up and down::

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
@::Kissing his mother's bald head:: Parents: I will call you regularly.  Be well.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#::Seated in his office, looking at the orders:: Computer: Computer, open a channel the USS Seleya.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
@::Puts on his uniform and walks to the Luna Colony transporter station::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::In his office going over reports::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
ACTION: The XO's toe throbs insistently.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
@::Entering Luna Mir Colony transporter station. Climbs to the transporter platform::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Goes to kick the container but reads the label "warning highly explosive materials":: Self: Grrrr,  your lucky your explosive.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: Seleya: Lyon to the Seleya. I'd like to speak to the Captain please.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
@ COM: USS Seleya,: Transporter room.  One to beam back.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Limps slightly as he continues across the cargo bay, he spots the PADD under a shelve and he reaches to pick it up::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
ACTION: The CSO gets beamed to the ship in a sparkle of blue glittery effects.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Almost has the PADD, he reaches a little more::

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
Transporter chief: Thanks for the smooth ride. ::Smiles::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<OPS_Blare> COM: Lyon: He's not on board as far as I know, sir. But Commander Darklighter is, I can transfer your call to his location. ::Does that at Lyon's nod::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Hears his comm badge beep and jumps up hitting his head:: COM: Lyon: Son of a!!...I mean hello?

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: XO: Commander... I hope you weren't going to say what I think it was?

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Goes to his room to get unpacked::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Lyon: Sorry sir ::Rubbing his head:: What can I do for you?

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: XO: You can get your crew together Commander. You're shipping out. I will be sending co-ordinates to your helm officer. More orders will follow once you are in transit.

Captain_Muir says:
#:: Emerges from the shower in his small apartment on Earth, glancing at his Com-badge and switching it on, wondering if the time off has gone unnoticed ::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Lyon: Yes sir, I’ll get right on it. ::Checks to see if his head is bleeding:: Anything else sir?

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Approaches his room:: Computer: computer open door, voice print MOON.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: XO: Not at the moment, no. I will be in contact once you are under way. Lyon out.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Plays with a hypo-spray on his hand and continues reading::

Captain_Muir says:
# :: Switches on a Federation newscast in which the Nadaras incident seems to be being discussed - as a hypothetical situation ::

Captain_Muir says:
# :: Shakes his head as he listens and continues to dress, sipping on a water bottle from time to time ::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
*OPS* Blare: Inform the crew they are to return to the ship, we're shipping out.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Leaves the cargo bay and looks back:: Self: And I though away mission were dangerous. ::Heads for the TL::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<Blare> *XO*: Aye, sir.

Captain_Muir says:
# <Computer> CO: Incoming transmission from USS Seleya, Priority One.

Captain_Muir says:
#Computer: Onscreen.

Captain_Muir says:
# <Computer> Audio Only. You are hereby recalled to duty aboard the USS Seleya immediately.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Bridge.

Captain_Muir says:
# :: Rolls his eyes, half in disbelief that Starfleet gave them no prior warning, half in wondering why he scheduled a tennis game for tomorrow that he could have played yesterday ::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
ACTION: All the Seleya personnel on leave gets the audio message recalling them to the ship.

Captain_Muir says:
# :: Continues dressing, but this time with his Starfleet uniform, pips, com-badge et al ::

Captain_Muir says:
# :: Finishes dressing and leaves a note for the housekeeper ::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Exits the TL and steps out onto the bridge::

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Fully dressed, exits his quarters and heads for the TL::

Captain_Muir says:
# *Seleya* Muir to Seleya, One to beam up. Energize!

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
Computer: Command Bridge 

Host Capt_Lyon says:
ACTION: From all over Earth and the rest of the system, personnel start returning.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Makes his way from the Transporter Room to the Bridge in record time, glad he didn't take any luggage on planet with him ::

Captain_Muir says:
:: Arrives on the Bridge ::

Captain_Muir says:
XO: Darklighter. :: Nods at him :: I assume you enjoyed some time off?

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Enters command bridge and heads to the Science Station::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Arrives on the bridge and makes her way to her seat::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<FCO_Crasher> CO: I have the information from Captain Lyon loaded sir. It came in an encrypted file.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: What information, Lieutenant?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Muir:: CO: Oh yeah, I had a real ball sir ::Sarcasm fills his tone::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<FCO_Crashes> CO: The flight plan, sir.

Captain_Muir says:
XO: ::Nods, pretending to be oblivious to the sarcasm:: Outstanding. Report?

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Any other information in the file? And just where is it that we're heading?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Sir, Captain Lyon informed me that we'd receive further orders once we're under way.

Captain_Muir says:
XO: Oh, it's like that. ... Again.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Sighs and turns to his chair, taking a seat ::

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
CO: Sir CSO reporting for duty!

Captain_Muir says:
CSO: Noted, Ensign. Welcome aboard the Seleya. Take your station.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<FCO_Crasher> CO: No sir, just a flight plan, preset and ready to use, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye ::Takes his seat:: We rush out to find we're being sent on a mission to buy an admirals cat food or something like that.

Captain_Muir says:
CSO: I assume you're familiar with the scientific arrays of a Sovereign-class vessel?

Captain_Muir says:
XO: A reoccurring theme in our time aboard the new Seleya, I'm afraid. Anyone would think they didn't trust us!

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
CO: Yes sir, I had some time on our way to Earth to get more personal with the ship and science department.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: True, I mean it's not like we're still on the old galaxy class Seleya and losing a warp core every week.  Heh, those were the days.

Captain_Muir says:
CSO: Excellent, I look forward to seeing your reports.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Set a course for the encrypted destination, Warp 6. Just where is it we're heading?

Captain_Muir says:
XO: That ship could take anything. Except being broken in half and exploding.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
CO: Sir I have all ready made my first reports and have reassigned science personnel to be more efficient.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<FCO_Crasher> CO: Its marked on the charts as Sector 39, sir. Nothing important out there at all.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Yeah the duct tape finally gave way on the old girl.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Presses the LCARS controls and logs on to the science station::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<FCO_Crasher > ::Taps the controls, confirms that the ship is cleared for departure, and takes her out to the outer markers.::

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
XO: All sensor arrays ready, science department report all personnel present.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CSO: Understood.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Streaks out of the TL and over to the helm, practically throwing Ensign Crasher from the chair::  CO/XO:  Sorry, couldn’t find my pants. 

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns to the CO::  CO:  Were clear and free to navigate sir, course laid in and awaiting orders.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<Crasher> ::Whispers:: FCO: Sir... Warp 6. I was going to tell you.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Engage, Warp 6.

Captain_Muir says:
CSO: Excellent, Ensign. You're definitely making an impression.

Captain_Muir says:
CNS: Status report, how are the crew feeling about this sudden recall to duty?

Host Capt_Lyon says:
<Crasher> ::Since he's now not at the helm, he goes to one of the other bridge stations, smiling at Modalis in passing.::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods at Crasher in thanks.::  CO:  Aye sir.  ::Engages warp drive::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
CO: They're understandably a little apprehensive; we all feel that way when we embark on a new mission.  But the crew is ready, sir.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Engages long range sensors::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
ACTION: A Blinky Light [TM] flashes on the OPS console... an incoming transmission.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Sits back and waits for some kind of clue as to where their going::

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
CO: Captain we have clear departure vector at this heading.

Captain_Muir says:
CNS: Excellent, Ensign.

Captain_Muir says:
CSO: Understood.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Slaves OPS to the Conn::  CO:  Sir incoming transmission...

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Who from?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Checks the transmission origin::  CO:  Starfleet Command sir, heavily encrypted.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Shall I transfer it to your ready room?

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: No, I'll take it here. Onscreen!

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Opens the channel::  CO: Aye sir.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
ACTION: The screen comes to life, showing Lyon's face. He nods at the officers present, then looks right at Muir.

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Turns to see the main screen::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: First off, Captain, my apologies for the secrecy, it was not my idea.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Sits back, waiting for the proverbial poo to hit the fan::

Captain_Muir says:
COM: Lyon: Understood, it's not a problem. Now just what is this all about?

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: What do you know about Phoenixes, Captain? And yes, I mean the mythical beasts.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Has no idea what the two Captains are talking about::

Captain_Muir says:
COM: Lyon: They come from the ashes of destroyed things, and are generally better than their predecessors. I'm afraid I don't see where you're going with this.

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: I didn't expect you to. Captain, you are being sent to the location of where one was born... from the ashes of a world destroyed.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Captain Lyon's last words::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Looks over at Modalis and shrugs::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: I am sceptical too, Captain, that is why you are going there to ascertain if this is in fact true or not.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Raises her eyebrows to A’an as if to say "I don't know"::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
COM:  Lyon:  Sir, I don’t mean to intervene, but are you saying that an actual creature from earth legend has been discovered to be real?

CSO_Ens_Vidich says:
::Accesses computer for data on Phoenix in all references::

Captain_Muir says:
COM: CO: A Ha…. I'm sure you'll excuse me if I sound a tad skeptical, Captain. Why this level of secrecy for a ...scientific... mission?

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: FCO: I'm saying that reports indicate that... but I find it difficult to believe, even if I have a pet only found in fiction, given to me by the Prophets.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Silently wonders if the secrecy is to keep from Starfleet looking like a bunch of jerks for investigating these mythical creatures ::

Captain_Muir says:
:: Looks at FCO, but forgives the intrusion, it seems justified ::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: Captain... I seem to have neglected to tell you the size of this beast... Earth would look like one of its eggs.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Raises both eyebrows, slowly nodds::  All:  Ahh.......

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Suddenly stops her thought-watching and stares at Lyon in disbelief::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Thinks "of coarse it's big, we are always sent after the big bad guys"::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#::Nods as he sees the crew's reaction:: COM: All: That was my initial reaction too.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: Lyon: If it does indeed exist. Which we aren't sure of. Even though we have reports that seem feasible enough that document it's size, we still aren't sure if it's really there. ... Just what are we to do if it is indeed there, Captain?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Is suddenly very glad they had the time to get the Seleya up to specs::

Captain_Muir says:
:: Tries desperately to hide his cynicism from his voice, fully aware that at the very least Modalis will be aware of it ::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Cannot help but pick up the cynicism in Muir's voice::

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: At the moment you are to do nothing if you encounter it... in fact, I would say run like hell. This thing is big, vacuum doesn't seem to bother it. You could look like a lovely little morsel. That is why you are going to the site of its birth first. Find out what destroyed that planet.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: Lyon: Understood. You'll receive our report as soon as it's ready. Is there anything else, sir?

Host Capt_Lyon says:
#COM: CO: Nothing at the moment. Just come back in one piece and not end up some big birdie's snack.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: Lyon: I'll try, I assure you. Seleya out.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Sits back in his seat::  ALL:  Other ships deal with the Borg, the Romulans, the Gorn……...We get a giant bird with an attitude problem.
