The Seleya is orbiting Magna Roma in a last attempt to prevent war with the Federation. An away team was sent to the planet  to try to deal with the locals. They met with the Procunsul but just as he was about to show them the vicinity he had a local emergency to attend.

He let his guests return to the Seleya, giving the crew much needed time to rest and regroup.

Captain's log, Stardate 10904.12. The Proconsul of Magna Roma has suspended negotiations for reasons unknown to us. I will take this opportunity to discuss the next course of action with the crew and tie any loose ends.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Rendering Rome IX >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::in his quarters taking a shower::

ACTION: The Captain's Yacht safely docks with the Seleya

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console:: CMO, XO: We've docked.

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: Stands up, stretches and sighs, feeling safe for the first time in what seems like ages:: CIV: Home sweet Seleya.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::in her quarters, feeding milk to the baby::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::gets up from her chair once she the yacht docks:: SO Random: You have the bridge

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::steps out of the shower and grabs a towel::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks at the lift door as it closes on her and gives it the destination. She plays with a PADD in her right hand. Once the lift arrives she exits onto the corridor::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CMO:: CMO: I assume you'll be heading directly to sickbay to reverse the procedure, Commander?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::moves Naoise to her bed::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::rings the buzzer to OPS' quarters::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: looks lost for a moment, then remembers her face isn't her own right now:: CIV: well ::grins:: I thought I'd freak a few people out first.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::freezes as she is about to place Naoise down and the buzzer goes:: Door: Come in!

CO Capt Gomes says:
::steps into the room, looking around and not wanting to invade the young Ensign's privacy::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::finishes drying himself and wraps the towel round his waist before heading for his desk::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::gestures to the CO to come in. The lights are semi-low, but not too dark::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles and enters the room. Speaks in a low voice:: OPS: I thought this would be the best time in a while to talk. I read your letter

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Indeed. Air pressure normalized, opening the shuttle hatch. ::Powers down his console:: I'm not sure the Captain will appreciate that, considering she'll probably expect a full debriefing at your earliest convenience_

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::places the baby down in her bed and comes back to the main room, letting her hair down as she does so:: CO: Would you like a drink, Captain?

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: the grin disappears from her face, her impression of CIV solidifying:: CIV: Of course... :: nods:: I'm still going to leave it, though. It doesn't do to tamper too often with facial features. :: chuckles:: I don't want to end up looking like a Klingon, now do I?

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Green Tea. Thank you

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Heaves forbid, Doctor. Heavens forbid. ::Gestures at the direction of the shuttle doors:: Shall we? ::Turn his attention toward the XO's direction:: XO: Lieutenant?

ACTION: The XO excuses himself. He really needs a shower before doing anything else

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::orders the CO a drink from the replicator, some squash for herself::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: What's up with him? ::Watches the XO go past them::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::moves over and hands the hot cup over before sitting down:: CO: What did you think?

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: steps out of the yacht, and looks back at CIV:: CIV: I think he'd noticed he was exuding an... aroma that went beyond protocol.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::taps a few orders into his desk console and sends a note to Brianna::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::accepts the cup with a nod:: OPS: I see that you are aware of the challenges this adoption may bring to you. Which is what I was mostly concerned about. And you have been guardian of young Naoise for a while now? How is that going?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Did you just imply that our executive officer smells? ::Moves to follow the CMO::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Well, it is hard work. Sometimes after a shift, I just want to rest, that is natural, but the rewards are so fulfilling.

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: raises her eyebrows and smiles a little at CIV:: CIV: I could back up my assertions with a tricorder reading, if you like.

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
CIV:... or we could just stick a canary under his arm and watch what happens...

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods with a knowing smile:: OPS: I am still unsure about taking this child from its own culture but I believe she grow up to be very happy with you. So I will write you a letter of recommendation to the adoption authorities in Caledonia

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: That won't be necessary, Commander. I'll take your word for it, as a medical professional. ::Raises an eyebrow at the Commander's second suggestion:: Haven't heard of the animal rights movement, Doctor?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::can't contain a smile:: CO: Thank you, Captain. That means the world to me.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: I know I was harsh earlier. I just needed to know you understood all the implications and from your letter I believe you do. Now I am not at all familiar with the adoption procedure. Especially in such a closed community as Caledonia. Moreover after the tragedy that happened. It might be a long and difficult process. I hope you are ready for that as well

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: stops for a moment and looks at the CIV quizzically:: CIV: Not one for humor, I assume?

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: steps into a TL and waits for CIV to join her::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::nods:: CO: I did feel you were harsh at the time, but I can see it was for the best. It made me think longer and harder about it. I came to realize I could do this and I wanted to.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Not much for dry humor, Doctor? ::Steps inside the TL:: Best kind of humor there is. ::Leans back against the TL walls:: Bridge?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::moves over to the unit with all the old books on the shelves and picks one before relaxing in his chair::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::sips her tea and nods:: OPS: I hope that beings a Starfleet officer will work for you and not against in the adoption process. As you know we have schools aboard and day care. Have you look into that?

ACTION: Apparently someone has been lacking in maintenance. The CSEC's chair has a broken foot and it shatters on the ground as he seats...not so relaxing after all

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: smiles broadly to herself:: TL: Bridge

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I have had a general look, but it is something I will research more thoroughly over time. ::leans back, takes some of her drink:: Can I ask you something personal?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::finds himself on the floor minus his towel and looking for the book:: Aloud: Dammit to hell!!!

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: leans back on the TL wall:: CIV: How long have you been onboard, Mr. Maor?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::makes a note to throttle an engineer about his chair::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: About three years, Commander. I arrived with the Captain.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: OPS: Go ahead

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Have you got, or ever had, children?

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: I have a son

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: He is 7 now

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::looks up at her for more details::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: nods:: CIV: Long enough to see all sorts of madness, I imagine. :: tilts her head:: Anyone I should watch out for?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::locates the towel and puts it back on before resuming his search for the book that went flying somewhere as he had thrown his arms up to steady himself::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: The Captain will advice against asking me that question, Commander. I tend to find the worst in everyone, as a force of habit. My suggestion? ::Leans forward as the TL begins to slow down:: Start with the personnel records of everyone then finish with a round of physicals. You'd be surprised how much people tend to share when you shove a probe up there.. ::Pauses as the TL doors open:: Here we go.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::feels a little "probed" by the OPS's eyes:: OPS: For reasons I should not discuss now, I found myself raising him alone. So I know it is very hard and I had to make some ... sacrifices. As so will you.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::nods at the CO, not wanting to go too far asking her questions:: CO: Thank you for sharing. If I may ask one more... where is he now?

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: lets CIV out first, giving the back of his head a good stare. Amused by him, she follows him onto the bridge, arms folded and looks around::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: He is aboard the ship. I left him with his grandparents for a while but that didn't work out very well. He is here so I know quite well that when I take this ship to battle I am taking him as well

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::gives up looking for the book and goes to get dressed::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
Self: ...went from dark humor to virtual slapstick in a few seconds, hmph :: nods to a few personnel:: *CO*: Suder to Captain Gomes. Just letting you know we've disembarked, and have made our way to our bridge stations.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::is startled by the com as her thoughts were elsewhere:: *CMO*: Thank you for the update Dr. I suggest you take some time to rest. Then I will call you for a debrief.

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
*CO*: Aye sir. :: steps down the bridge and eyes The Big Chair(tm). Gingerly sits in it, her eyes slowly getting wider as she realizes just...how...comfy this chair is::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I'd like to meet him one day.

ACTION: Throughout the bridge, officers stand at attention as they believe the Captain is back

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
Self: No wonder captains always look so smug. ::wiggles around and settles, pulling the side-console towards her and patching in to SB to see how things are down there::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Rolls his eyes at the bridge crew behavior::  CMO: This is real healthy. ::Heads toward one of the available consoles::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: I am not one to mix my personal life with my professional life. But perhaps we can arrange something someday. I just want to add that ... again for reasons I cannot tell you right now, I know how my life would have been without him and I wouldn’t trade him for anything

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: senses the change in mood and glances up:: All: Oh... no. It's Suder, here. Just.. ::frowns and looks at CIV for help::

William says:
*CO*: William to mommy, please respond.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Now if you will excuse me, I should get ready to talk to the away team

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::reaches under his bed for his shoes and finds the book:: Self: Hmmm...

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::nods to the CO, hiding her surprise at her last comment::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Thank you for dropping by.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::listens to the com but does not answer it yet:: OPS: Thank you for the tea and I will see you in your next shift ::gets up::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: You're on your own, "Captain".

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::sees the CO leaves, goes to check Naoise and call the babysitter::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: senses the CIV is enjoying this far more than he's showing:: Bridge Crew: Right.. ::stands up and turns around:: Though I may look like Captain Gomes, I'm not. Please relax, I'm just the doctor.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::taps her badge:: *William*: Yes Will, what is it?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::is now right outside OPS quarters::

William says:
*CO*: Um. I think the babysitter just locked herself in the bathroom. ::Presses his ear against the doors leading to the bathroom:: She's banging real hard against the doors.

SO Random says:
::looks suspiciously at the CMO::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*William*: There is an emergency panel beside the door. Try to open it and press the red button. And tell her I will be right there.

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: sees a few unconvinced bridge crew:: All: Seriously... Would the Captain do this...? :: pulls a face::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::finally dressed, he decides to head to the lounge::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::heads for her quarters::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::the babysitter passes by the CO on her way to OPS::

ACTION: Some of the bridge crew laugh out loud, others grin, many are still suspicious

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: That's the best way you came up with to prove you're not the Captain?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::leaves her quarters::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks at the babysitter walk by wondering if she has a twin sister. Then continues to her quarters::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: turns to CIV:: CIV: Well, she seems like a reasonably serious person to me. :: frowns at the one or two people that she senses are thinking their CO has turned into a Mental Molly and groans inwardly::

William says:
*CO*: O-Okay. ::Yells against the bathroom doors:: Out loud: Don't worry! Mommy is coming! ::Covers his ears at the increased shouting coming from inside the bathroom:: Self: How rude. ::Attempts to open the panel beside the doors::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::walks into the turbolift, tying her hair back::

William says:
::Gets the panel open and locates the big red button:: *CO*: Found that button, should I press it?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::walks onto the bridge::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console at the latest arrival to the bridge::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
CIV: You know one word from you and this whole mess could be sorted out. :: looks annoyed, but also appreciating how very unusual this situation is:: Self: This will certainly make a good log... :: turns around and sits back in The Big Chair without further comment:: All: As you were.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*William*: Yes. I will be there in a minute

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: They wouldn't believe me anyway, and I did warn you, Commander. Not that I'm gloating or anything, mind you.

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
CIV: Course not! It's not in your nature, I can tell. ::smiles slightly::

William says:
::Presses the big red button, waiting for something to happen:: *CO*: Um, nothing is happening. ::Repeatedly presses the button, not noticing the opening and closing door leading to the closet space behind him::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: thinks, the sooner she gets her own face back the better::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::eventually arrives in the lounge and heads for the bar::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CMO: Well, you look a little... different; Captainy.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::finally arrives in her quarters:: William: Not that one ::opens a panel on the opposite side of the door and frees the babysitter::

CMO LtCmdr Suder says:
:: raises an eyebrow:: OPS: I'll put that in my résumé, perhaps. :: smiles a welcome to her::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CMO: Yes... 5 years medical experience, 1 week as a model Captain...

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: A week? Have I missed an entire week?
