Karriaunna Scotti

Last time on the Seleya:

All things appear in order and on some levels they are, but not everyone or everything is.  It has been three days since items of concern have been discussed by the captain with her crew over their mission on the Orion homeworld.  But not everything the crew has gone through recently has been dealt with.  For many, there has not been much of a chance.  For some, they do not want to deal with it and for others, they have made their choices.  Including the arrival of another from the Seleya's past.

In what some call the 'twilight hours' of a ship, gamma shift begins.  New orders have come in and as usual, people will reflect on what is ahead.  Some need to dwell on what happened recently before they can move on.  As for the Tueghems, they are now in guest quarters, dealing with what had happened and readying themselves for the next step of their journey as they wait for the arrival of the USS Luna.   In many ways, this was no different from what the crew of the Seleya was doing...

Captain's log, Stardate 10902.01. We are on our way to our new assignment and the Luna will be rendezvous-ing with us to take the Tueghems soon. It is the end of my shift and I will take the opportunity to see an old friend. I think the gamma shift can handle this little assignment ...

Aan says:
:: Laying on the sofa of the quarters he was given after his torture by the MO staff, staring at the ceiling::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sitting in his chair on the bridge::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Sitting in science, glaring at one of her projects::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::at her console on the bridge, sat on a stool::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::walks through one of the many corridors on the Seleya in civilian clothing. Some of the crew that pass her seem to find that strange, they don't know her very well yet. She stops at A'an's door and rings the buzzer::

Aan says:
:: Looks towards the door. ::  All:  Come...

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::sitting in his office in the brig reading through the most recent security reports::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::while sat, uses her controls::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS: Any contact from the Luna yet?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::enters the room:: Aan: I heard you had returned ::smiles:: Aan: Its good to see you again

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Not yet Sir.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::peeks at his watch and then looks back to the reports::

Aan says:
:: Turns his head and smiles weakly to Gomes. :: CO:  Likewise, though given the circumstance, I would have taken just about anyone.... well, maybe not pakleds, but there you go...

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: They are 45 minutes out now, Sir.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: Aan: Do you mind if I sit?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS: Thank you.

Aan says:
:: Sits up and motions to the sofa chair. :: CO:  Please.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::puts the PADD down on his desk and taps his badge:: *SO*: Trigger to Rose.

Aan says:
CO:  Lot of new faces around here....to me anyway.

Host CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles and sits in the couch next to him:: Aan: I ... I am not sure where to begin...What happened to you?

Aan says:
::Move to after. ::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::silent::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Ignores the comm and after a moment, shuts things down and gets up to leave.::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::shakes his head:: Computer: Locate Lieutenant Rose.

Computer says:
CSec: Lieutenant Rose is in the main science lab.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Exiting the lab, she heads for the nearest lift and orders it to the lounge.::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::gets up and walks out of his office::

Aan says:
::Tilts his head and looks at Gomes with mock confusion. :: CO:  Whatever do you mean Captain?  According to Starfleet psychiatrists, nothing out of the ordinary has happened....ever.   ::Smiles weakly again. :: CO:  Sorry...bad attempt at humor.

Aan says:
:: Sits up straight and sighs wearily. :: CO:  Honestly...I don’t know.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off with more of a stomp then a walk and heads into the lounge.  It is relatively quiet.::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS: I'm thinking of getting something to eat. Would you like to join me?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Sounds good.

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: Yeah, starfleet has had a very closed eye to what was a very ... prfound experience for all of us. I wasn't sure you remembered but I suspected you did. It affected some of us more than others

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: Then lets make this easier. Why were you on that shuttle?

Aan says:
::Nods.::  CO:  I was here, then I wasnt.  One minute I was on the Seleya, the next I'm in a cave on Bajor.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods, wondering what would have happened to her if she had changed places like that too::

Aan says:
CO: I thought everything was alright, then....well, I started to notice little things....

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles:: OPS: Alrighty.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Where did you have in mind?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods, listening::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Walking over to the small patform where a baby grand sits quietly, she sits down and opens the lid.::

Aan says:
CO:  A few people I didnt know acted like they knew me, a few people I knew didnt know me at all...

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: I understand that quite well...before I could make sense of it all it was like leaving on a dream. go on

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::walks along the corridor and in to the upper aft lounge to get a coffee since it's on the same deck::

Aan says:
::Scowls slighty.::  CO:  Tried to take my concerns to the brass, next thing I know, they're telling me to leave it alone or else.

Aan says:
::Takes a deep breath and shrugs. ::  CO:  That didnt sit well with me.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS: I'm going to be honest, I don't know much about anywhere on here. Any place you particularly like?

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Laying her fingers on the keys, she lightly presses a few of them, just listening for a moment as it resonates.::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: I'm new too, remember? ::smiles:: I guess we'll go exploring. How about the upper aft lounge?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::sits down by the railing with his coffee and tries to think::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: Aan: But you have an idea of what happened. Why was it so difficult to accept that your life had been re-written?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: OPS: Sounds good to me.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::puts her console on standby and gets up, heading to the turbolift::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Points to the person most qualified:: Person: You have the con. ::Heads to the TL and waits for the OPS to join him::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: After a moment, the notes shift into a tune with no specific design, other then a reflection of a mixture of emotions... anger, fear, annoyance...::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::hears the piano music coming from the lower lounge and looks down to see who's playing::

Aan says:
::Nods a few times to himself.:: CO: I guess it would have been easier, but....if my life was rewritten, why do I still know everything the way its supposed to be?  ::Growls slightly::  CO: Its like some kind of cosmic joke.  Besides.....there are things in my life I dont want changed.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::gets in the turbolift:: Computer: Deck 8.

ACTION:  The OOD simply nods and stands to take the captains seat.

Aan says:
CO:  Things I NEED to be the same.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS: Your new here too? You greeted me so I had assumed that you'd been here for a while.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::gets up and walks toward the staircase leading down to the lower lounge::

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: I know it seems like someone is playing with you. I don't understand the details but the truth is Maor did this, re-started the universe because .... I told him to. It seemed the only way to save reality as we know it. It changed a little and it made some sort of bubble around us that we survived through the birth of the universe

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: That was my first day. ::smiles:: You couldn't tell?!

SO Lt Rose says:
:: The music grows a bit darker and wilder as she looses herself in the notes she plays.::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles:: OPS: Your a natural at your job then. I couldn't tell at all.

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: You have a second chance now. You know both universes you can choose the life you liked best. ::takes a deep breathe:: Aan: What do you need?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Ha! Natural... I guess you just got carried away with being in a new place to notice. ::gets out the turbolift and heads into the lounge::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::approaches the piano and stands to one side of the keyboard:: SO: We need to talk.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Follows:: OPS: Me? Carried away? I was shot at on my first day here. Perhaps I was distracted. ::chuckles a little::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: I guess this is the lounge...

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Looks around:: OPS: Very astute.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Her fingers crash onto the board, creating an ugly resonance through the room.  She takes a deep breath, removes her foot from the pedal and quiets the vibrations of the strings.  After a moment, she takes a deep breath and begins to play a much lighter tune::  CSec:  I am right here.  Go ahead.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: You trying to be funny? ::heads in, slightly annoyed at his sarcastic comment::

Aan says:
::Shrugs a little. :: CO:  Assuming your right, its not just up to me.  I've managed to contact most of the people I know, and they seem unchanged from what I can tell.  Its not change that concerns me, its what changes and when and by whom.  For all we know, this whole thing isnt over yet.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Flinches:: OPS: Sorry.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: I know you're angry with me and you have every right to be but is there really any need to ignore me like that?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: So, what is your poison?

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: As far as I can tell, we make our own future now. There is nothing acting to change anything anymore ... unless you are a religious man. Some of this has to do with her, doesn't it?

Aan says:
::Darkens a little. :: CO:  Her.....Her is a touchy subject....

SO Lt Rose says:
CSec:  Who says I am ignoring you?  I have simply been busy.

Aan says:
CO: And I havent been religious for a very long time.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Too busy to tap your badge?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::orders herself a vodka and cranberry juice and raises an eyebrow to the XO for his answer::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles lightly:: OPS: I have my own "poison", as you say. ::Shows her his flask at his side::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Oh... kay... that's strange. ::takes her glass and heads to a table, chosing it herself::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::decides to avoid the touchy subject .. for now:: Aan: Maybe this will make you change your mind. You still haven't told me .... what were you doing in that shuttle?

SO Lt Rose says:
CSec: My fingers are busy at the moment, yes, they are.  :: does a trill to emphasis that fact.::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sits across from her and takes a drink from his flask:: OPS: It's a trust thing. I make my own drink.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::takes some of her drink and looks over to the piano the CSEC and SO:: XO: Looks like trouble in paradise.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Looks over:: OPS: That can't be good. ::Thinks for a moment:: Self: It's been a while since i've played the piano. Gotta remember that it's there.

Aan says:
:: Smirks slightly. :: CO:  I was looking for her....but thanks for the attempt at being gentle.  :: Sits back and smiles slightly. ::  CO:  Don't worry, I'm still a grizzled grouch of a Bajoran, no need to beat around the bush.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::nods again:: XO: I haven't played since I came aboard. I have a small one in my quarters. Been trying to get a piece right on the saxophone. You play anything?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::lowers his voice and tries to look Brianna in the eyes:: SO: Look, I didn't come looking for a fight, but I don't think things should be left unsaid. I know you're angry but I believed and still do believe that I was acting in the best interests of this ship and her crew.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS: Old Earth Jazz is a favorite of mine. Some of the classical music is good to. Yourself?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles:: Aan: I wouldn't want to do that. I do not think its a coincidence that we were the ones to find you. I talked to Starfleet and they were quite ... nice. I have permission to invite you to stay aboard for as long as you like. Do you want to return home Aan?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::stands:: XO: Let's go. ::heads over to the piano:: CSEC/SO: Sorry to interrupt.

Aan says:
:: shakes his head slightly. :: CO:  I cant find her.  And even if I could, I don’t know that I want to find her only to know she doesn’t remember or feel the same as before....  :: Shakes his head harder. :: ...Damn, that’s pathetic.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: shifting the tune to a sad Irish lament:: CSec:  I never said you didn´t.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Follows the OPS over:: CSEC/SO: Hey there.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::picks up his hand:: Aan: Its not, at all. I think you will see her again, maybe she will find you. But now you need to find yourself

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks up and smiles at the newcomers:: XO: How are things going for you?  Are you finally settled in?

SO Lt Rose says:
:: looks over at Ecchumati::  OPS:  And you?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::opens his mouth to talk to Brianna and sees OPS and the new XO standing there and nods politely before falling silent::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
SO: Yes thank you. I was just wondering if we could have this next song.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Her fingers shift to a light hearted jazz peice.::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: chuckles:: OPS:  And what song did you have in mind?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles:: SO: Yes, quite settled. Thank you.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
SO: Well... if you know Jazz... I'll just get my saxophone instead.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CSEC: What about you, what can you play apart from a phaser?

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Lifts a brow::  OPS:  An impromptu session?  But then, that is jazz.

Aan says:
CO:  Your far more accommodating than the last few Captains, you know that.  :: Wags a finger at her mockingly.:: CO:  Be careful you don’t get too attached though, this ship goes through people life curry through your colon.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: glances at Caelan without looking directly at him.::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::gets her saxophone transported over:: SO: You lead, I'll join in. ::starts setting up::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Thinks for a moment and has a flute transported over::

CO Capt Gomes says:
:: smiles and sits back:: Aan: I know but some things stay the same and you have belonged to the Seleya for a very long time, longer than me. I think you belong to her now.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::whispers to Brianna:: SO: We'll continue this later, I'll be in my quarters. ::once again nods politely to the XO and OPS and walks toward the exit trying not to make it obvious that he is upset about the interruption::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::holds the CSECs elbow:: CSEC: Not so fast... music is good for the soul. ::shoves a triangle in his hands::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Pauses for a moment with a sigh and starts to call him back, only he is stopped by Ecchumati and she says nothing.::

Aan says:
:: Looks at the Captain seriously for a moment. :: CO:  Honestly, I don’t know where I'm going.  but if its all the same, I'll take up some of your hospitality if you don’t mind.  If you need me for anything, feel free to ask, its not like I'm going anywhere.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: Not now Ensign, I still have a lot of work to do. ::pulls his elbow back and starts walking again::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Starts playing his flute along with the piano in a pleasant improv::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Quietly:: CSec:  Caelan, please...

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: as you said there are many new faces, many young officers. I could use someone like you. I am sure you could teach a thing or two to the new exec, he seems quite .... green

Aan says:
::Smirks slightly. :: CO:  Sure, I can give him a complex or two.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CSEC: Nonsense. We're off duty which means you can't boss me around. ::puts the saxophone to her mouth and joins in, relishing the musical opportunity and the crowd starting to pay more attention::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::stops again:: SO: I'd only get in the way Brianna, you know I don't play any more..

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::pulls the saxophone down:: CSEC: It's a triangle, not a harp! Just hit it and look pretty! ::carries on playing::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::chuckles:: Aan: I will be counting on it. As far as I am concerned you will be treated like the Starfleet Commander that you are. Unless I specifically say so you are welcome on the bridge any time. And if there is anything else I can do for you just ask. Believe me, I know what you went through

Aan says:
::Nods, glad she cant read his mind. ::  CO: Thank you Captain, I appreciate the vote of confidence.

SO Lt Rose says:
CSec:  Perhaps it is time you do... but you can listen for now.  We can talk... later... maybe.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::starts increasing the tempo, gesturing to the SO to do so too::

Aan says:
CO: So....who's do I tick off first?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Whispers:: SO: Follow my lead for a second.....Eb minor.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: I'll listen for now. ::manages a weak smile and takes a seat::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Picks up the beat::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Takes the chords to Eb minor::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::follows the musical changes::

CO Capt Gomes says:
Aan: Well, we now have this apparently simple mission of finding the fate of a civilian freighter. Perhaps you can take over tactical and look for any signs that this disappearance was not an accident. Try to work with Maor on that ... he is more paranoid now than before ...if you can believe that to be possible

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Pulls the flute away and starts to sing an old blues tune he's used to sing on the Huron::

Aan says:
CO:  Yeah, this should be fun.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::surprised at the XO starting to sing, but plays fills to support him::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::In his quarters, resting his eyes::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Gentles and quiets her notes down to pp::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Follows the Decrescendo down::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods and gets up:: Aan: I will make sure you receive all the authorizations and all the information. I will let you get some rest now. Thank you for telling me all this. I know it is not easy

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sings his last note and nods to the OPS so she can solo::

Aan says:
::Nods and smiles as best he can. :: CO:  Not a problem.   Goodnight Captain.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::plays a few staccato notes and jumps into a small solo, not very long, leading to the end of the song with a nod to the others::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: glances over at Caelan::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles back and leaves::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::lowers her saxophone with a smile:: SO/XO: That was great. ::hears her combadge go off::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::sitting near the piano watching Brianna's fingers as she plays::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Turns around and looks at her newest crewmates:: XO/OPS:  Now this could be interesting.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles:: SO/OPS: Thank you for that...It's been far too long since i've played or even sang.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Sir, I'm informed the Luna is hailing. I'm heading up to the bridge. ::downs the rest of her drink in one go:: SO/XO: We need to do that again.

Aan says:
::Stands in the closed doorway for a moment and then slumps back onto the sofa, closing his eyes and trying to sleep. ::

Captain Singh says:
@ COMM: Seleya:  We are ready to collect your guests...

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: OPS: I'm coming as well. Thank you, Ensign. ::Turns:: SO: We must perform again sometime. Sorry if we had interupted anything. ::Starts heading for the bridge::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: As the others leave, she closes the lid to the piano and stands, turning to look at Caelan.::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::heads to the turbolift, unknowingly humming what had just been played::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::Looks over at Brianna and then looks down:: SO: I'm sorry.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Reaches out her hand...::
