Star Trek: Apache - Episode #19
Week #1
Mission: "Evolution"

Host CO_Gotoh says:
After returning to Starbase 366, the USS Apache underwent a month of repair and refit in dry dock followed by two months of systems integration and testing. During this time the majority of the enlisted crew was reassigned while the senior crew were given shoreleave to do with as they pleased.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
Now ready to return to space, the Apache is preparing to leave Starbase 366 for a shakedown period, which is to be followed by a mission patrolling the Tzenkethi/Talarian/Federation border.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
All members of the senior crew have returned from their respective vacation destinations and have gathered for one final ceremony prior to their return to active duty. Shortly the final few stragglers of the new enlisted crew will report aboard and the Apache will return to the stars ... but she will be minus one very significant presence.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::at attention::

FCO_Terman says:
@::trying to get comfortable in his dress uniform, thinking it’s two sizes too small ... darn it::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::makes her way through the corridors to the holodeck::

CSO_Storal says:
@XO: Why do they have to make these things so small?

TO_Tyler says:
@::comes to attention alongside Commander Cha`Dak::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
ACTION: A strong breeze blows up flowers across the sandy Cliffs of Calamay, as a Vulcan Lute plays somewhere off in the distance. The senior crew stands before Captain Gotoh, waiting on his every word with baited breath.

SO_Hammond says:
@::straightens out his uniform:: Self: We don't wear these enough.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::joins the others inside the holodeck, and looks around at the scene::

CNS_Lux says:
@::tucks a strand of loose hair behind her ear as the breeze plays with it::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@All: Since the days of the first wooden sailings ships, all Captains’ have enjoyed the happy privilege of joining together two people in the bonds of matrimony.

CNS_Lux says:
@::looks at Gotoh and thinks he needs a shave::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@All: And so, it is my honor to unite you, Nadia Caillau, and you, Laurence Kristian Verall, together in matrimony here in the presence of these witnesses.

FCO_Terman says:
@::smiles as he overhears the counselor’s thought::

TO_Verall says:
@::smiles at the CO::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@All: And it is my pleasure to pronounce you as husband and wife, till the ends of the galaxy shall you part. Let what the stars have put together, no man tear asunder.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles as the vows are completed::

CEO_Yeung says:

EO_Caillau says:
@::leans forward and looks into Verall's eyes, and locks lips with him::

CNS_Lux says:
@::snaps away crazily::

@::regards the gathered audience:: All: May I present to you all, Mr. and Mrs. Laurence and Nadia Verall...

@::feels the SO looking at her, because she's the CNS and she just *knows* … turns and snaps a picture of him in his dress uniform:: SO: Ha!

@::applauds the married couple::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@::notices Captain Turnbull has joined them, the only red shirt in a sea of white dress uniforms ... begins to head that way::

EO_Caillau says:
@::looks around at the crew and smiles in thanks to all of them::

TO_Verall says:
@::turns to the assembled crew:: All: Thank you my friends.

@::smiles at the couple::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::has a smile of pride on his lips::

CSO_Storal says:
@XO: I can’t wait to get back into my normal duty uniform.

@::rubs his eyes from the flash:: CNS: How bright is that thing?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::makes her way forward to congratulate the newlyweds:: TO/EO:  Congratulations.

TO_Verall says:
@CO: Thank you, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
@::grins:: SO: Light intensity approximately 2 Lux … no pun intended.

Host XO_Linard says:
@::whispers:: CSO: Oh quit whining ... you don't get dressed up in it that often.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@TO/EO:  May you find each day happier than the last.  ::smiles broadly as she shakes their hands::

EO_Caillau says:
@CO: Thank you, Captain.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::looks around for D’Layna, a little worried after their argument::

CSO_Storal says:
@XO: That’s why I hate it.

Host XO_Linard says:
@::chuckles and shakes her head at him::

SO_Hammond says:
@::chuckles:: CNS: All right, no puns … for now, anyway.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks up at Captain Gotoh as he approaches her:: CO: Hello Captain, it's good to see you.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@::approaches Captain Turnbull and offers his hand:: CO: Captain Turnbull? I'm Captain Gotoh ... nice to finally meet you.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::sees the XO and walks towards her and Storal::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::walks over to Caillau and puts a hand on her shoulder:: Caillau: I'm proud of you, Nadia. I hope you both find every happiness together.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::shakes his hand:: CO:  Nice to meet you too, Captain.  I've heard a lot of interesting things about you.

CSO_Storal says:
@CMO: Hi Janet, glad to see you could make it.

CNS_Lux says:
@::sees that the wedding is over and walks up the couple:: EO/TO: Congratulations.  ::shakes their hands:: EO/TO: Do you mind?  ::holds up her camera::  I'll send you copies of them, I promise.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@::smiles and chuckles, nodding:: CO: And I have heard nothing but good things about you, Captain. I hope you find the Apache much the way you left it ... perhaps a little better.

EO_Caillau says:
@::hugs the CEO, with tears in her eyes:: CEO: Thank you, sir! This is the happiest day of my life!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::approaches Verall:: TO/EO: Congratulations.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::smiles:: CSO: Yeah … finally. Even preparing for a fun evening can be time consuming with little Armen running underfoot.

Host XO_Linard says:
@::smiles:: CMO: Doctor Naegle, good to see you!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::offers the TO a firm handshake::

TO_Tyler says:
@::sees the XO, along with the CSO and CMO, and figures he'll go introduce himself::

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: And how are you doing, Commander?

TO_Verall says:
@::takes his chiefs hand and smiles gratefully, smiling at the TO as he approaches::

CSO_Storal says:
@CMO: Tell me about it. It took Kathleen an hour to get ready. ::chuckles::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::nods:: CO:  I'm sure that I will.  The repair crews here do amazing work.  She'll probably look like new.

SO_Hammond says:
@::wanders up to congratulate the couple and walks to the back of the room::

TO_Tyler says:
@::stands at the edge of the small group and listens::

CNS_Lux says:
@::snaps away with her camera:: Verall/Caillau: Say cheese!

TO_Verall says:
@::smiles thanks to the SO:: CNS: Cheese!

Host XO_Linard says:
@::smiles awkwardly:: CMO: Much better thank you ... I'm adjusting, but it's to be expected.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::hopes the XO will make him pay later, but just gives him an oh brother look::

EO_Caillau says:
@CNS: Cheese!

Host XO_Linard says:
@CSO: Just for that I'm going to make your collar tighter...

EO_Caillau says:
@::hangs on the arm of her new husband::

CNS_Lux says:
@::snaps pictures:: TO/EO: Marvelous!  Now … turn this way and lift your arm like that. ::positions the couple::  And don't move … perfect. ::snaps again::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@::nods and pulls her aside whispering:: CO: I've been appointed Sector Commander over the Apache ... I understand you'll be leaving her shortly as well? Onward and upward, so to speak…

CMO_Naegle says:
@::puts a hand on the XO's arm:: XO: I understand, just let me know if you have any problems.

CSO_Storal says:
@::grabs her hands:: XO: I don’t think so. ::laughs::

TO_Verall says:
@All: Jax has been kind enough to lay out a feast for us all in the mess hall at 1100 hours tomorrow night. For all that can make it, it would be an honor if you could all attend.

FCO_Terman says:
@::stays in the background, not knowing any of the people well enough to mingle, or so he believes::

CSO_Storal says:
@XO: That’s it! I'm changing!

SO_Hammond says:
@::shakes his head at the CNS:: Self: And she's our counselor…

TO_Verall says:
@::turns to Nadia:: EO: Shall we? ::gives her a naughty grin::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::nods:: CO:  Yes sir, I've been appointed to Sector 767 as Sector Commander.  I'll be stationed on Starbase 64 for the time being.

CNS_Lux says:
@::leaves the reception line and turns:: SO: Ah ... well, that was fun.

TO_Tyler says:
@::walks up to the CNS:: CNS: I don't believe we've met. I'm Lieutenant Junior Grade Alex Tyler, newly assigned Tactical Officer of the Apache.

EO_Caillau says:
@Verall: With pleasure, dear… ::giggles::

CNS_Lux says:
@TO: Nice to meet you ... hold on, don’t move!

SO_Hammond says:
@CNS: Yeah it was.  Nice break for everyone, I think.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@::nods:: CO: Well, I wish you luck ... we'll have a new Captain for the Apache before she arrives at the Tzenkethi/Talarian/Federation border.

CSO_Storal says:
@::tugs at his collar and begins to head back to the Apache::

CNS_Lux says:
@::slaps a bug off of the Tyler's shirt::  TO: Sorry about that.  ::grins::

TO_Verall says:
@::grins:: Computer: Computer … arch!

Host CO_Gotoh says:
@::makes his way off into the crowd to congratulate the newlyweds::

CEO_Yeung says:
@Verall/Caillau: Have fun you two. ::sighs happily::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: We should keep an eye on them.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: I believe your man is having a problem with his dress uniform.

CNS_Lux says:
@::links arm with Tyler and Hammond::  SO/TO: Ready to go, gentlemen?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: We should not allow them to be lax in their duties.

Host XO_Linard says:
@::looks to the CMO and nods:: CMO: Just a tad...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: CO:  I'm sure that you'll find her a good one.  ::looks for Commander Linard ... sees her across the room and walks toward her::

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::dressed in his brand new uniform, gives the jacket a tug as he enters the holodeck::

TO_Tyler says:
@::looks at Hammond and grins:: CNS/SO: Ready if you are.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::chuckles:: CTO: You worry too much. They'll be just fine.

SO_Hammond says:
@::looks a little confused:: CNS: Um, yeah I guess.

TO_Verall says:
@::as the archway appears, Laurence leads his new wife out the doors::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::steps up beside Commander Linard:: XO:  How are you feeling, Kathleen?

EO_Caillau says:
@::eagerly follows her husband::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::looks sideways at Jon:: CEO: Perhaps.

CNS_Lux says:
@::passes her camera to Joyce Romano::  Joyce: Take a picture will you?  With these two handsome young gentlemen and me.

FCO_Terman says:
@::notices the other FCO but doesn't recognize him, wondering if he's a personal friend with some of the crew::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::watches as the captain comes up to the group::

Host XO_Linard says:
@CO: Tyria ... I didn't see you come in. Of course, with so many people here...

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::trying to find his new department chief, not sure who anyone is with everyone in dress whites ... saunters cockily over towards a female:: CMO: Excuse me, ma'am ... I'm trying to find Ensign Terman?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: Shall we join the Captain?

CNS_Joyce says:
@CNS: Uh, sure…  ::looks uncomfortable and then stands back and takes a picture::  TO/SO: Smile.  You look like you've just been in a funeral!

Host XO_Linard says:
@CO: I'm doing a lot better, thanks ... it's a big adjustment but I think I’ll manage.

TO_Tyler says:
@::smiles at the camera::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::nods::

SO_Hammond says:
@::just looks at the camera::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@XO: Certainly understandable, it's good to see so many people here to help them celebrate.  I'm sure that you will get over this just fine. Be strong and remember that you have good friends around you to help you through the rough times.

CNS_Joyce says:
@::waits for the right moment and takes the picture::

CSO_Storal says:
@::shows the guard his ID as he walks up the gangway to the ship::

CNS_Lux says:
@Joyce: Thanks, I'll see you later at the staff meeting. ::takes her camera back::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CMO:  It's good to see you, Doctor.  Have you enjoyed your leave?

CNS_Lux says:
@TO/SO: We better go before the ship leaves without us.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::as he walks towards where the group of senior officers are, he sees D'Layna not far away:: CEO: Excuse me, Commander.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::nods:: CTO: I'll meet you back on the ship.

TO_Tyler says:
@CNS/SO: I suppose.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::exits the holodeck, and heads for the Apache::

Host XO_Linard says:
@::nods:: CO: Of course I do... ::grins and senses some sadness in her:: ...are you okay, Tyria?

CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: Yes I have, Captain.  How about yourself?

SO_Hammond says:
CNS/TO: That wouldn't look too good.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::nods, then approaches D'Layna:: D'Layna: May I have a word?

CNS_Lux says:
@::starts to lead the way, still linked at the elbow with the two guys:: SO: Hmm?

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::sees the woman is going to ignore him ... looks around some more:: FCO: Excuse me, you wouldn't be Mister Terman would you?

TO_Tyler says:
@::walks up to the gangway with the CNS and SO, and shows his ID, walking aboard the Apache::

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: Yes?

CEO_Yeung says:
@::arrives at the gangway, and shows his ID, then proceeds on board::

SEC_D'Layna says:
@::is alone drinking bloodwine:: CTO: You may have all the words you wish, Commander.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Does our ship have a clean bill of heath, Jon?

FCO_Terman says:
@::notices the newcomer is talking to him:: FCO: Yes, I am … why?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@XO/CMO: Oh, I'm fine.  It will just be different watching the Apache leave from here.  But she's in fine hands.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps onboard the Apache and lets the 2 officers go::  SO: You said something about not looking too good ... what did you mean?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::sighs deeply:: D'Layna: It has not been easy for me, being your mate and your superior officer.

CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: You'll be fine, Captain.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Aye aye, sir. I just need to conduct a few minor checks, but otherwise everything is prepped and ready for our departure.

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::slings his personal duffel over his shoulder and beams at the Ensign:: FCO: I'm Petty Officer Tucker ... Ramsey Tucker. My friend calls me Ram. I'm your new Flight Control Crewman!

CEO_Yeung says:
::heads to his quarters and quickly changes into his duty uniform::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Good work. Have her ready to launch in twenty minutes.

Host XO_Linard says:
@ ::nods:: CO: I'm going to miss you, Tyria. Once again duty calls us apart from one another. ::remembers the Hayden::

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: I did?  When?

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Not a problem.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::nods:: CMO:  I know, I'm actually excited about the prospect of a new position.

FCO_Terman says:
@::grins:: FCO: Well then Ram, good to have you. ::offers his hand to the newcomer::

SEC_D'Layna says:
@ ::looks at him:: CTO: Nor for me ... but we will adapt...

CEO_Yeung says:
::exits his quarters and heads down to main engineering::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: XO: I remember that day well ... another day of mixed emotions.

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks:: SO: Hmm … I think we have a case of what they call 'having our wires crossed'.  Don't worry, it’s not serious. ::grins reassuringly::

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Storal to Hammond.

TO_Tyler says:
::after excusing himself from the CNS and SO, quickly walks to his quarters, changes into his duty uniform, and heads for the bridge::

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::grins and shakes Terman's hand excitedly:: FCO: I hope you don't mind ... I plan on breaking some of your speed records just as soon as I get a chance.

CNS_Lux says:
::waves goodbye to the Tactical Officer::

CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: I'm glad to hear that.  It wasn't so long ago that you took command of this ship, was it?

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Hammond here, go ahead sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::straightens with resignation:: D'Layna: A warrior does not apologies for his behavior...

CNS_Lux says:
::waits politely as the SO communicates with the CSO::

CEO_Yeung says:
::enters Main Engineering and notices Belron is there to greet him::

TO_Tyler says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 1, bridge.

FCO_Terman says:
@::lifts an eyebrow:: FCO: Good luck… ::returns the emphatic handshake::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@D'Layna: ...however...

CSO_Storal says:
::changing into his duty uniform:: *SO*:Prepare the core for startup. We begin shakedown in twenty minutes.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@CMO:  It seems like yesterday … but would you believe it’s been over two years?

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir, I'll get right on it.

FCO_Terman says:
@FCO: I can tell we're going to get along just fine. You don’t happen to play Velocity, do you?

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: Sorry about that.

CEO_Yeung says:
Belron: Vik! How'd you get down here so fast? And we barely noticed you at the wedding, with you being so quiet and all.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@D'Layna: ...I do not think I have approached this situation correctly.

TO_Tyler says:
::exits the turbolift onto the bridge, and after taking a look at home again, heads towards tactical one::

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::sees Terman is making his way to the door of the holodeck:: FCO: Mind if I walk back to the Apache with you? I’d love to hear some of the things you’ve encountered out here! ::tugs his duffel back up on his shoulder a little tighter::

CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: Just take the good memories with you.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::is the best apology she's likely to get::

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head:: SO: Nope … you go on with your duties and I'll go on with mine.

CNS_Lux says:
SO: It's all in a days work, you know?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: XO/CMO:  Perhaps we should get back to the Apache, I have a lot of packing to do and I believe we all have preparations to make before the Apache launches.

CSO_Storal says:
::after changing he heads to the bridge:: *XO/CO*: Sir, we will be ready for launch in twenty minutes.

EO_Belron says:
::shrugs:: CEO: I'm not much for words, but I did manage to wish Nadia good fortune.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@CMO: That is the easy part.

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@FCO: Velocity? No ... but I reckon I could get the hang of it. ::grins:: FCO: I take to most things pretty quick.

SO_Hammond says:
::smile:: CNS: Yes it is.  See you around.

SEC_D'Layna says:
@CTO: Do not concern yourself with such matters, Par’ mach ... we have not yet attained our medium for working side by side.

CEO_Yeung says:
::chuckles:: Belron: Yeah, it was a great wedding. It was good to see her so happy.

Host XO_Linard says:
@CO: Yes, of course...

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles and lifts a hand to wave the SO off, and heads in the opposite direction::

FCO_Terman says:
@FCO: We are going to get along, Ram, but enough talk, lets head to the ship. ::heads to the ship, still talking to Ram::

SO_Hammond says:
::heads to his quarters to change quickly before going to the core::

CEO_Yeung says:
Belron: So, what's the final report on our status?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::nods, relieved that she would be so considerate:: D'Layna: I believe we will be beginning our shakedown cruise soon. Perhaps we should return to duty.

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::nods;: FCO: Oh sure ... by the way, what should I call you?

CMO_Naegle says:
@::starts walking toward the ship:: CO: I suppose we should get back, Captain.  I'll be glad to help if I can.

Host XO_Linard says:
@CO: You'll be sure and send me pictures of Brian won't you? He's already grown into a handsome little boy ... I'm going to miss him.

CSO_Storal says:
::steps off the turbolift and enters the bridge::

EO_Belron says:
::gives the CEO a PADD:: CEO: The computer core and engines are all running smoothly. All systems are ready and standing by.

TO_Tyler says:
::powers up tactical one, and begins running weapons and shield diagnostics::

SO_Hammond says:
::glances back at the CNS as she walks off::

FCO_Terman says:
@FCO: You can call me Master or Lord, I don't have a preference. ::grins:: Call me Jordan.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: Belron: Excellent, head to your station.

SEC_D'Layna says:
@::nods and follows him to the ship::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::starts walking toward the docking bays with Janet and Kathleen::  CMO:  Thank you, I wouldn't mind the company at all.  XO:  Of course, I'll be keeping in touch and don't be surprised if I show up from time to time.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::moves to join the CO/CMO/XO::

Host FCO_Tucker says:
@::nods and smiles:: FCO: Of course, Jordan! You go it. ::falls into step with him headed for the gangway back to the ship::

Host XO_Linard says:
@CO: Surprised? I'd be delighted...

CNS_Lux says:
::yawns a little as she walks further from the SO and around the corner and then chimes for the turbolift::

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks over to the master display, and does his final checks::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CO: Captain, congratulations on your new appointment.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@XO:  I miss him myself.  He wanted to stay with his daddy in San Francisco, instead of coming here.  I'm glad the two of them are so close, but it's difficult at times.

SO_Hammond says:
::once changed, he heads off to the new computer core::

CSO_Storal says:
::sits down at science one and prepares the console for startup:: Self: Lets see what our new equipment has to offer.

Host FCO_Tucker says:
::hurries onto the Apache, headed for his quarters::

Host XO_Linard says:
::enters the Apache's gangway:: CO: I understand...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Thank you, Commander.  You should be sure to take care of the crew. ::smiles::

Host LtCmdr_Poradin says:
@::hurries after a knot of officers:: CO: Captain! Wait, Captain Turnbull!

FCO_Terman says:
::arrives at the apache as Ram runs for his quarters. Jordan decides to head to the bridge::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: It will be my duty, and an honor. As it was serving with you, Captain.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks alongside Tyria and Kathleen:: CO: I'll take care of Kathleen for you.

TO_Tyler says:
CSO: All tactical systems are operating at peak efficiency. In other words, Commander, we're ready to go!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::walks up the ramp and onto the Apache ... turns as she hears her name:: Lt Cmdr:  Yes, Commander?

TO_Tyler says:
::grins::

CSO_Storal says:
TO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Lux says:
TL: Umm … deck 6.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to the Lieutenant Commander::

Host LtCmdr_Poradin says:
@::falls to a walk, smiling at her and her assembled company:: CO: Captain Turnbull I presume? I'm glad I caught up with you ... heard you were on the Starbase.

Host XO_Linard says:
::laughs:: CMO: Please Doctor … I’m a big girl. I can even zip up my own uniform and everything. ::winks::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CMO:  I know you will, I've always had faith in your ability to take care of this crew.

TO_Tyler says:
::remembers he hasn't had his physical yet ... dreads going to Medical::

FCO_Terman says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes his spot at the flight controls, up front:: Self: All right, then.

SO_Hammond says:
::arrives at the computer core and begins to go over the start up procedures::  Self: Well, lets see what you’ve got.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::nods:: Lt Cmdr:  Yes, I'm Captain Turnbull … what can I do for you?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:

CNS_Lux says:
::gets off at her deck and goes to her quarter, which is awfully close to "Fort Apache", already hearing the wedding celebration going on inside:: Self: Oh dear ... hmm ... I really have to talk to the OPS Officer about changing quarters.  I’ll never be able to sleep with all that noise!

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Captain, are you all right?

FCO/CSO: I can't tell who's firing … it looks like… ::disbelievingly:: …standard issue Starfleet phaser fire.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Commander, are you all right?  CMO:  I'm fine, K`hora was hit.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods in relief at the Captains answer then stands, turning angrily to the doctor::

XO: We'll take it from here, Commander ... sorry about this. Does your Klingon need any assistance from the Starbase medical facilities?

CSO: Sir, Doctor Naegle reports that the phaser hit is non life-threatening ... in fact, he's already refusing treatment.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Everything is under control, Mister Storal.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO:  I'm fine.  ::watches as Poradin is taken away by security::  Self: I thought that Admiral Poradin was the only survivor of the Poradin family. Looks like there are some more out there after all.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CMO: My death would have been glorious, Doctor. You should not have tried to prevent my journey to Sto Vo Kor.

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: What happened?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::winces at the burnt flesh on his back::

Host XO_Linard says:
::watches Lieutenant Abbott help Cha`Dak through the docking ring:: Security: I'm sure he'll be fine ... they're a lot more resilient than they let on. ::grins::

CMO_Naegle says:
CTO: My apologies Mister Cha`Dak, next time I’ll violate the Hippocratic oath just to preserve your silly Klingon honor. ::turns around hurt and angry::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::places a hand on the Klingons shoulder:: CTO:  Today may be a good day to die, but you're still needed here.  It's not time for you to travel to Sto Vo Kor.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Someone tried to assassinate Captain Turnbull. It's a good thing we were all here to prevent that...

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Is she okay?

::gets to sickbay right after Cha`Dak and Abbott:: CTO/Abbott: Well, come on in!

CNS_Lux says:
::looks at Joyce and Birkley::  Joyce/Birkley: Well, I guess I should introduce myself.  I'm not very good at making speeches … but anyways … my name is Ligeia Lux. I’m a Trill and I am un-joined, I had trouble passing the examinations to become a host.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::moves to a bio-bed and sits down gingerly::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: XO:  I'm fine, but I'm going to head back to the Starbase, I want to know what's happening with Mister Poradin.  ::glances around the bridge briefly before the turbolift doors close:: I’ll catch up with you as soon as I can.

TL:  Docking bay  ::exits the lift and walks off the down the ramp back onto the Starbase moments before the gangway is sealed for the Apache’s departure::

Host XO_Linard says:
FCO: Take us out, Mister Terman. Then set course for the Argolis cluster.

CNS_Lux says:

CMO_Naegle says:
::runs a scan on Mister Cha`Dak:: CTO: Well, even though it didn't send you to Sto-Vo-Kor, it was still a nasty wound.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yes sir. ::sets the course and begins to pilot the Apache out of its berth on thrusters:: XO: Ready, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@:CMO: Sorry, I was abrupt … with you earlier.

CNS_Joyce says:
::shrugs:: CNS/Birkley: My name is Joyce Romano ... and that’s it.  ::shrugs::

FCO_Terman says:
Self: …and without even scratching the paint.

CNS_Lux says:
::raises and eyebrow:: Joyce/Birkley: Okay… ::looks at Birkley::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Sir, are you okay?

CMO_Naegle says:
CTO: Now, would you like me to treat that wound?  Or would that be breaking some ancient Klingon taboo?

CNS_Birkley says:
::looks at the CNS but doesn't say anything::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::watches through the observation window as the Apache leaves space dock::

CNS_Lux says:
::tilts her head, waiting for him to say something.::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CMO: You may treat it so that I may return to duty, Commander.

CNS_Birkley says:
::raises his hands and taps his chest and then taps his middle and index fingers together::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
