The Seleya has gone through some troubling times in recent months. There lies prophecies unfulfilled, crew coming and going, and now more changes in the wind.

For the past few weeks, starbase engineers have been putting the ship back into shape and updating areas.  The crew has had time to relax, explore and go home, all that is but Maor, who has been going over the ships computers with a fine-tooth comb to make sure after the hacking, all is in order.

Captain's log, Stardate 10802.24. We are still docked at Starbase 13. Maor and his team should be nearly finished with the computer and I hope after that we are given our new orders. I still have an issue to solve with Dr Atreides, but all in good time ...

<<<<<<<<<< Not so little things >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Gomes says:
::in a turbo lift examining the door as she moves through the ship::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::once it comes to a stop she steps ou and casually looks around noting if everything is in order::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::enters sickbay and makes way for the CMO's office nodding to the nurses and such. Knocks on his door::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Grunts in acknowledgement::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: Dr Atreides. We need to talk, do you mind if I seat?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Sitting quietly in front of the computer core, studying a few PADDs scattered all around him as he pauses every few seconds to inspect the readings scrolling over the main console just above him::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
CO: Help yourself. ::Not looking up from the screen::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: I heard a most disturbing news 2 weeks ago. It would seem you disobeyed my orders. Could this be true?

Amb Knight says:
:: Moving as quickly as she can through the place, trying not to trip over anyone or anything.  Not finding the person where they said she would be she stops.::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::on the Starbase's Holodeck, enjoying a relaxing holiday::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
CO: I was busy. He could have come to me, chose not to. I'm not his babysitter, not responsible for his actions. Those shrinks don't like to integrate fully into the department anyway.

Amb Knight says:
:: Running a hand through her blue hair, she decides it is time to take the easy way out.  *CO*: Captain Gomes.  This is Ambassador Knight.  I have been looking for you to give you your new orders.  If there is a place we could meet soon, I would appreciate it.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: You must realize the counsellor is not part of your staff. In any event, when I give an order I expect that my officers will do what must be done to fulfil it. If he did not come to you would go to him. Not because that is what he wants, but because it’s what I want. After my orders are fulfilled, then you make your complain about Lt Gnav.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: Is that clear? Excuse me ::taps her badge::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Amb*: Gomes here. Would you like to come aboard Ambassador? I can have my yeoman prepare a room

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::sighs:: CO: Fine.

Amb Knight says:
@ *CO*: Ummm... actually, captain, it might be better if you join me here on the station.  It will not take long... well, what I have to tell you will not.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Amb*: Very well. I assume we want to speak in private. Or shall I take some of my senior staff?

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Returns to his documents::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::figures the Ambassador must be in a very public place, with all the background noise::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up as the figures in the terminal above him finally slowly changed as the various meters began to change to green:: Self: Hm. ::Pauses to consider something. Shaking his head he begins picking up the scattered PADDs:: *CO*: Maor to Gomes. ::Raises from his spot on the floor:: 

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: You may bring whomever you like.  We will be waiting in observation lounge 4.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Amb*: Acknowledged. I am on my way. Gomes out ::taps her badge again::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: Gomes here

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Looking down to check her padd, she carefully turns around and heads for the reserved room.::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::gets up:: CMO: Meanwhile, I would like you to talk with Counsellor Gnav immediately to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. That takes priority over your other duties at the moment. Is that acceptable?

CMO Lt Atreides says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am! ::Stands to attention, gives his most elaborate rimmer salute and waits for her to leave::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Dusts his trousers from any invisible dust:: *CO*: We're about ready to turn the computer back on, Captain. ::Takes a quick look around at the various consoles:: Everything seems to be operational. ::Returns the PADDs back to the locker he got them from::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: I will be waiting for yours and Lt Gnav's reports. Feel free to give him a physical too ::turns to exit, and walks out::

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Entering the room she looks at the chronometer... only a little bit more.  She can do it.::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
Self: I wish they would appreciate the effort it takes to run the medical department on a ship, which is essentially at war.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: I have an appointment on the Starbase. Do all the necessary tests to bring the computer back. Lt Pandora should be back aboard, he can help you. When I return I'll see the results. Good work Commander

CO Capt Gomes says:
::enters the lift:: Computer: Docking hatch

CO Capt Gomes says:
::examines the door again, certain its scratched. One more job for Pandora::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: Understood, Maor out. ::Closes the channel and hits his badge again:: *CMO*: Maor to Atreides.

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Politeness to the extreme, she sees that all the ladies are comfortable.::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
*CIV*: And how can I help you? Coffee perhaps? Maybe I can act as your personal scrobe? ::sighs loudly::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::enjoys his beverage on the simulated beach of Ullia::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::exits the lift and walks onto the hatch and then the station::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::goes to the starbase lift:: Computer: Observation lounge 4

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses in surprise:: *CMO*: Lieutenant. ::Takes a long breath:: Can you at least maintain some level of control for what I'm about to ask of you? ::Doesn't even wait for a response:: I'm about to turn on the Computer back on-line, Doctor. Restarting the computer is always a tricky process; therefore, I'll need you on alert if for some reason we'll have to turn off any malfunctioning parts of the ship that the Computer might affect.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::enters the lounge and sees all the people around, looking, but mostly trying to be seen::

@ ACTION: A large wave washes up on the shore of the holosuite.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::In his office, checking out the maintenance records for the time he spent ashore::

ACTION: As the captain enters the observation lounge, the sounds of many high voices clamour around her.  In the room is a rather unusual looking species.  They are about 20 cm high, various metallic colours, stick like limbs, blue-black hair and some kind of knobs protruding from the top of their heads.

CMO Lt Atreides says:
*CIV*: I'd love to help you, but I've been *ordered* to go see the counsellor.

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Turns in relief as the one she is looking for enters.::  CO: Captain... I am so glad to meet you.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::turns to the one that spoke to her:: Amb: You must be Ambassador Knight ::extends her hand::

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Takes the hand, trying not to show to much relief.::  CO: Please... take a seat and I will try not to take up too much of your valuable time.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods and sits down:: Amb: I must say I am surprise you have my orders and not Admiral Starr

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Looks at his watch, fills his large travel mug with boiling hot coffee and makes his way to the office of doom and despair::

@ ACTION: As the wave retreats, a species new to the counsellor, is jumping up and down in joy and chasing the wave back out.

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: Changes, changes... first, your ship has been moved to the second fleet.  Your new command Admiral is Admiral Drew Garission.  :: Hands over the orders.::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Chimes the CNS' office door::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::raises both her eyebrows in surprise:: Amb: That’s quite new indeed ::looks over the orders::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
*CNS*: Where the hell are you ensign? ::Not remembering the CNS' rank::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CMO*: Understood, Maor out. ::Closes the channel:: *OPS*: Maor to Pandora. ::Makes his way towards one of the free consoles::

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: Your new mission orders have not gone through yet officially.  And it is really more of a favour that is being passed to you and in a sense, I am really sorry about it... but there was no one else capable of taking this on.

@ ACTION: Along the captain’s legs, she feels small hands.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::sighs as he hears the incoming communication and taps his badge:: CMO: It's lieutenant, sir, and I'm enjoying my R&R.

CMO Lt Atreides says:
*CNS*: That's been changed. I'll be waiting in your office for our appointment, orders of the Captain.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::frowns:: Amb: Can you tell me what it is in a summarized version?

Amb Knight says:
:: runs a hand through her hair in agitation.:: @ CO: Oh, and I forgot... you have a new starbase.  Your home base will be Avalon station.  It is in the new changes there.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: Amb: Too bad, I was enjoying this place. Starbase 13 has a nice superstitious ring to it

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@*CMO*: Two weeks ago, it was her orders too, and then you didn't show up.

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Enters the empty office, and makes himself comfortable:: Self: They get the half pip and think they're the cream of the crop. *CNS*: I had important work to do, sickbay doesn't run itself. If you want to disobey her orders, be my guest.

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: Well... :: waves her hand at the Moriddians surrounding them.::  These are the wives and future wives of King Kalalalahan.  And the ship that was originally assigned to them had a problem.  It rather blew up suddenly.  So I have been searching and searching for someone to make the transport.  And... well, your name came up.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@*CMO*: I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Gnav out.

CMO Lt Atreides says:
*CNS*: Pronto, I have better things to do with my time, that's an order.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks up from the overview:: *CIV*: Pandora here, go ahead..

CO Capt Gomes says:
@Amb: I...see ::looks around at the wives and wonders why a sovereign should be transporting them. Are they that dangerous:: Amb: Will you be joining us as well?

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::ignores the CMO's words::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
Self: Physical she said, I'll give him a physical... Zero G should sort him out.

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Looks a bit guilty::  CO: No, captain.  I have had other orders put aside while trying to help out here.  :: Looks around::  They are not... bad.  Just... curious.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: Amb: I was always good at diplomacy. Do they have a representative I should talk to?

NightWind says:
Scenery: More and more of the Mirridians crowd the captain, their chatter incessant. 

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::gets himself into his uniform again::

CMO Lt Atreides says:
Self: Running the damn shrinks separate from medical on a warship, who had that idea?

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: To be honest captain, I think it changes daily.  Each day, a new person comes to me with... issues.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*OPS*: Li-- ::Pauses, trying to recall the OPS's rank:: Lieutenant.  I'm about to restore the Computer to an operational state for the first time. ::Switches the console view:: I"m going to need you on the bridge monitoring the various systems for any problems that might arise from this.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
*CIV*: Understood.. I'll be there in five minutes...

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: Amb: I hope they do not have many while on the Seleya. I will need perhaps a day before we are ready to depart. But maybe we can settle them in on the ship before that. I will have my yeoman arrange quarters for them. I trust the details of their traditions are all in the orders?

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Looks uncomfortable::  CO: Yes and no.  I was told they were, but as I have been dealing with them the past two weeks, I find they are very incomplete.  I have added my observations.  As for leaving, that is fine.  You have already been given clearance.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::raises her eyebrows:: Amb: Oh, I did not realize it was that urgent. Starfleet want us to leave immediately?

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Heads out of his office and towards the nearest turbolift::

Amb Knight says:
@ :: Embarrassed::  CO: Ummm... it would be best for the station if that were possible... as well as diplomatic relations.  The wives and wives to be were supposed to arrive a week ago.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*OPS*: I'll start the powering up sequence, Lieutenant. Contact me when you're ready, Maor out. ::Closes the channel and picks up a nearby PADD.:: Self: Step one.. ::Continues rumbling on::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@Amb: Let me see what I can do ... how many of them are there again?

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Falls asleep on the CNS' couch, thanks to his stupid hippy music...calming they call it::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::taps her badge:: *Ivanova*: Gomes to Ivanova

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@Computer: End program. ::walks towards the exit::

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: Ummm... I think we started off with about 68 of them, but at last count, there were 102.  :: frowns::  I am not quite sure.  I mean those you will be transporting totally.  :: frowns harder::  I think all the wives and wives to be are right here.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Enters the bridge and heads for his console::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Glances up from her spot below the Captain's desk:: *CO*: Um. One moment! ::Crawls towards the centre of the room:: Y-Yes, Captain? ::Senses something in her right hand, brining it towards her she notices the broom. Frowning, she tosses it away::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: *Ivanova*: Do we have quarters ready for about 150 guests? ::whispers to the ambassador "To be on the safe side":: *Ivanova*: I don't think they mind sharing quarters

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::feels something in his bag where he would put his beach clothes in::

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: Not at all, put as many as you want into one room... as long as it is comfortable ::whispers::  And it might be wise not to mix the ummm... :: looks around and sighs::  colours.

@ ACTION: From the beach bag, a small head with blue-black hair and knobs on his head pops out.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::looks around noticing the pattern::Amb: We wouldn't want a bunch of angry wives indeed

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@Self: What the...?

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Pauses to consider:: *CO*: Um. One moment. ::Rushes to the front of the Captain's table, using the Captain's, burrowed, password to check the crew manifest:: Assuming they bunk 7 in a room we can almost pull it off.. ::Counts with her fingers:: Assuming one room will contain ten that is.

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Drops his cup onto the floor::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@Self: I've seen this thing before. ::remembers the strange thing jumping up and down on the beach::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Prepares his console, loading his personal settings:: *CIV*: Ready now, commander.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@*Ivanova*: Make it so. Our guests will arrive in the next few minutes. Gomes out

@ ACTION: The small boy smiles up at the counsellor with tiny sharp teeth.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@Amb: I'll tell them to get ready and start boarding the ship

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@Thing: What or who are you? ::frowns::

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: I will have their things taken to the cargo bay.  :: Takes a deep breath::  I am so glad you are taking them.  But please, be very careful... they are very curious and tend to get into everything.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*OPS*: Understood, starting in five. ::Presses a button:: Four. ::Takes a quick second look at his check list:: Three. ::Begins rerouting power to the Computer core:: Two. ::Hovers his finger over one of the switches:: One. ::Presses his finger down:: System should be coming on-line.. ::Watches the console:: Now.

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Stirs and looks around the office, then glances at his watch:: Self: Bas...Typical. ::Looks around for some paper, doesn't see any and tears a corner off as poster on the wall then proceeds to write: "You had your fifteen minutes, like me youngest paid whether you show up or not. Unlike you I have real work to do, I'll be in my office." then walks out and down the corridor to his office::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@Amb: I will be sure my staff is advised ::gets up:: Amb: Is that all?

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Mumbles something about the Captain as she sulks away towards the entrance to the ready room:: CO: Stupid guests. ::Grumbles:: Stupid rooms. ::Exits the ready room:: Stupid.. ::Glances up at the sight of the OPS sitting at his console:: Show off. ::Makes her way inside the TL::

Amb Knight says:
@ CO: I believe so.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Keeps his eyes on the standard parameters as the computer core starts coming online again::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::extends her hand again:: Amb: It was a pleasure Ambassador

CMO Lt Atreides says:
::Makes himself comfortable behind his desk, tints his windows completely and starts to go over the staff rota he was drawing up when he was rudely interrupted by the captain woman:: Self: At least that CEO is good for office upgrades when sober.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@Self: Right, no response. What am I going to do with this thing? It isn't part of the simulation as that already ended.

Amb Knight says:
@ :: shakes the hand::  CO: Thank you again...

ACTION: The computers come online beautifully.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
@::studies the thing to see if it poses any danger::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods and turns to leave thinking how best to do this, PADD in her hand. Diplomacy was always one of her strengths but will that be enough?::

ACTION: Many faces turn to the ambassador, smile their sharp smiles and move to get ready for the next part of their trip.
