SO_Ens_York says:
::moves the chair towards the door, which opens up for him and he heads into the corridor::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::exits the TL and walks to the transporter room. Steps up onto the pad without a word::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CSO: Oh, I'm just fine, Tom... Wish I had my book, though... It was getting good... ::steps out and waits for him to follow when they arrive on the deck::

CO_Storal says:
::doesn’t acknowledge the nods just stares straight ahead::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::feels the TL move down the decks to the transporter room, then steps out and into the transporter room::

 Capt_Nilas says:
::she enters the transporter room, and nods to everyone present:: All: Everyone is ready?

ACTION: The transporters are activated... and the senior staff rematerialize in the lobby of Starfleet Headquarters, surrounded by their peers...

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods to Capt. Nilas as the beam begins to energize::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::takes a deep breath::

SO_Ens_York says:
::looks around at the great lobby of SHQ::

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::looks around as they materialize in Starfleet Headquarters::

CO_Storal says:
::takes a quick look around, then begins to head down the corridor::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Follows the CO::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::sets off after the Captain::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::looks around at the lobby in Starfleet Headquarters, following the Captain::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::looks around, then trots after the CO::

CO_Storal says:
Nilas:Do you know who will be called? ::continues walking down the hall::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
::Stands waiting for further instructions::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::ignores the mocking stares of the SFHQ officers present in the corridors::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::trails the long line of people following the captain, to bring up the rear guard::

ACTION: Down the corridor, a group of three admirals approach the CO... Adm. Williams, a stocky, 60-year-old male, Adm. Francesca, a young and spritely 40-year-old woman, and Adm. Mirak, an elderly Bolian male...

SO_Ens_York says:
::his chair makes a slight hum as he hovers in the air, his legs still not able to support him::

 Adm. Williams says:
::he holds up his hand, as he walks towards the CO:: CO: Captain.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::grabs York's chair and pushes, trying to take her mind of the three scary-looking admirals::

SO_Ens_York says:
::looks surprised over his shoulder:: CNS: You know Counselor...this thing can drive itself. ::Grins::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
SO: Yes, I know... but they probably don't so hush.

CO_Storal says:
Williams:Admiral ::salutes:: Capt. Storal reporting as ordered. All senior crew is present and accounted for.

SO_Ens_York says:
::smiles at Ryn:: CNS: Alright.

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::follows the Captain's example and salutes the Admiral(s)::

Adm. Williams says:
::nods:: All: If I may have your attention, please.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Salutes and stands at attention::

SO_Ens_York says:
::tries to sit at attention the best he can::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::finishes the salute and stands at Attention::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::stands at attention::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::stands at attention::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::stands at attention::

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::stands at attention::

 Adm. Williams says:
All: Thank you for arriving so promptly. As you know, we will be conducting a full inquiry into your actions. We require the presence of... ::reading from a padd:: Storal Kylorean, Thomas Brian Marsland, Solkar Derryth and Ryushi, please. The rest of you may consider yourselves dismissed at this time. However, you must register your presence before departing the grounds at any desk.

SO_Ens_York says:
::lets out a sigh of relief, but feels sad for his friends and crew::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::stays at attention. She's not dumb... today.::

 Adm. Williams says:
CO/CSO/CEO/OPS/Capt. Nilas: If you will follow me.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::turns from the Admiral to look at the rest of the crew, then steps back to Ryn:: CNS: Meet you after this is over for dinner?  I think I'll need someone to talk to after this..

SO_Ens_York says:
::looks at the CSO and glares at him::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::follows the Admiral::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Follows the Adm::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CSO: Oh, Tom! ::runs up and hugs him::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::looks around at the ones who are going and the ones left behind::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CSO: You all will be okay. ::tries to smile::

SO_Ens_York says:
::throws his hands up:: Self: Yeah...great.

CO_Storal says:
::follows the Admiral::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::looks at the SO:: SO: Oh, at ease, Ensign, no need ot sit at attention for me. ::hugs the CNS back:: CNS: Thanks Ryn, I'll catch up with you later.

SO_Ens_York says:
::grinds his teeth at that comment, biting back his remark about his biological ancestor::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::follows the CO and the Admirals::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::waits for the party to get a certain distance away, then relaxes from being at attention, and turns to the others:: SO: So, ah... how's the... uh... well, how are y-.... ah, er.... this is awkward.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: How's the spine? Never been worse! ::forces a smile::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
::Registers at a desk and begins to look for a pilot at a local bar::

ACTION: The three admirals heads down the corridor, towards a large set of double doors, in relative silence...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::walks back to the SO, but watches the four leave:: SO: God, I hope they'll be okay...

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::registers at the desk and walks off by herself::

ACTION: All around, the officers assembled see SFC in all its splendour.... this is a beautiful annex of the complex...

SO_Ens_York says:
::grabs Ryn's hand:: CNS: I hope so too...

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::smooths down the front of her uniform, and shrugs apologetically at the SO:: SO: Well, alright then.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::looks down at him with a raised eyebrow:: SO: You are so desperate for attention... Sit boy! ::smirks::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::blinks:: CNS/SO/CTO: Soo....now what?

SO_Ens_York says:
::grins at Ryn and Sol:: CTO: Don't worry Sol.

SO_Ens_York says:
EO: Now...we relax. Or try to.

ACTION: Around the main lobby are several computer consoles, where most of the crew are lining up to sign in... before leaving the complex...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
ALL: Well... um... I guess we can just like, hang around... Oh, I dunno...

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
EO: I say we go get registered at the front desk, let me change back into my Romulan uniform, and proceed to get smashed enough to not care. ::deadpans all that, face nigh-expressionless::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
ALL: They'll be in there for HOURS at least...

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
CTO: Your serious?

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CTO: Tried that the LAST time we had admiral troubles...

SO_Ens_York says:
All: We better get registered..

ACTION: They approach the doors, which slide open, revealing a large conference room... the admirals move to the front, as several junior officers within guide the others to a long table...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CTO: Got so drunk I tried to hit on anything that moved, and didn't for that matter... I don't want to repeat the episode, but you can if you want, Ms. Solita.

 Adm. Williams says:
All: Please. Have a seat.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
EO: Frack no I'm not serious. Let's at least get registered and find some place quiet and out of the way, though.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::nods:: CTO: Alright.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
ALL: Maybe we could... ::sighs::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Takes a seat::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::nods, and takes a seat::

SO_Ens_York says:
All: I agree with Sol, let's register then head out for some coffee perhaps?

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::takes a seat at the far end of the table::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
ALL: I'm taking suggestions at this point....

CO_Storal says:
::takes his seat and doesn’t say a word::

SO_Ens_York says:
::starts driving his chair towards the computer consoles::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
::Enters the bar and looks for the designated pilot::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
CNS: Oh dear. The counselor's sighing. That means that there's more to that sentence. Maybe we could...?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::follows after Ensign York, still talking to the CNS::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@CTO: Currently, I'm despaired at the prospect of our fellow senior staff members being sent to Charon Penal Colony.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::arrives at the desk and inputs his ID numbers and authorization code::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@::takes the SO's chair again and walks with it:: CTO: Just because I sigh doesn't mean I have more to say, though...

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@CNS: ... well, alright.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::smiles as he notices Ryn coming up behind him and taking the chair::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@CNS: Just so long as you don't have any hair brained ideas to break them out and escape in a shuttle, though, I'm all ears for anything you want to say.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
@CNS/CTO/SO: I suppose you all have had this happen before, huh?

SO_Ens_York says:
@::looks up at Sol:: CTO: All ears? ::grins at her::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@EO: They haven't. I have.

 Adm_Williams says:
All: The focus of today's hearing will be your involvement with Adm. Woo. That appears, at the moment, to be at the core of this.... horrendous conflict which has emerged.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Do you have the vessel ready?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@SO: Ah-ha. Ah-ha. That's right up there with the short jok- I mean, that's right down there with the- ... grrrrrr.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::smiles at Sol:: CTO: Come on, that was funny.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<pilot> CMO: Yeah, just like you wanted it. It's ready to go now.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@EO: Loooooong story. We had a really stuck up Admiral in charge of us before Adm. Woo and she was getting on our nerves. And so like, half of the command staff was fed up with her and started arguing.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::nods at Admiral Williams::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
@CNS: Wow...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@EO: And afterwards we all got plastered. CTO: That was the incident I was describing to you...

SO_Ens_York says:
@::moves from the console:: All: Now you ladies.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: What's is it's maximum warp?

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods at the Admiral, thinking this wasn't exactly what he expected::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
@CNS: So it's customary for the crew to get plastered?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@SO: No it wasn't. :: registers herself at the console::

 Adm_Williams says:
CSO: You have served with the admiral before, Lt. Marsland. Have you anything you would like to say, on this matter at this time?

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: 9.75 max for 6 hours.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::pats Sol's arm:: CTO: Alright, I apologize Sol. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@EO: Sadly, yes. I'm trying to curb it though... doens't quite work because drowning your anxieties is easy and you can't feel a thing until the following morning.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Adm_Williams:  Can you be more specific, Sir?  There is much I can say on the matter, but I don't know if you want details of events, his character, or what.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Manueverability?

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
@CNS: Well, yeah...I know that part...this was just my first deep space assignment, so it's all kinda new.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: Well out turn almost anything in this sector.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@SO: Oh, pft, it's not that big of a ... alright, alright. It was funny, just don't go all soft on me. Who's up next? ::steps away from the console::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::grins at Sol:: CTO: You know me, Mr. Sensitive.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@::steps up to the console and does the thingy to check out::

 Adm_Williams says:
CSO: We know all about the admiral's involvement in this so-called Romulan conspiracy. And yet, something must have connected the Apache to his plans. We know that he made several encrypted communications with you. What did you discuss?

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Weapons systems?

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@EO: Oh, don't sweat it, Ayala.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
@CNS: I'll try not too.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot>: 2 standard federation phasers and a Romulan disruptor.

ACTION: As Adm. Williams addresses the CSO, Adm. Francesca looks about the room... scrutinizing Lt. Ryushi very carefully... and Capt. Storal...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@ALL: So where are we going? Somewhere outside would be nice...

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: I had doubts regarding Captain Storal's choice to enter the neutral zone or Romulan space.  I spoke with Admiral Woo about it, and he asked me to return the Apache to Starbase Three-Sixty-Six.

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::walking along, holding Xiao on one hip:: Rick: Isn't this a prretty station, though?

 Adm_Williams says:
CO/CSO: And this is when the supposed mutiny occurred, yes?

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Cargo hold and storage?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@ALL: ... yeah. Outside sounds good.

CO_Storal says:
::doesn’t say a word or show any emotion, just takes notes down on a PADD:: Williams: Soon after...

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::keeps a straight face as he realizes he's being scrutinized by the Admiral::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: Shortly after, yes.  I walked in on a few other crewmembers who were discussing the same thing without me.  It was then that we made the plans for it, and that I would be the leader.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: 200 metric tons.

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Walking beside Bao holding Turen:: XO: Nice, but not as nice as the Koot.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@ALL: So yeah... I could go for some coffee...

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Very good. And the payment would be sent where?

 Adm_Williams says:
CO/CSO: This is very important. Did Adm. Woo at any time suggest that you should take control of the Apache, or was this your solution to his orders?

SO_Ens_York says:
@::is staring at Ryn, his face emotionless...still affected from all the drugs::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@ALL: What are we doing? Outside? Coffee? Both? That's it, I'm making a command decision. Coffee. Outside. Now!

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@Rick: Well...I know. ::stops and looks around for a minute:: Rick: Do you rrememberr wherre.. ::thinks::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::raises a hand slightly:: ADM: If I may interrupt, Admiral... the meeting Mr. Marsland describes took place in my quarters.  Originally, I was to lead the mutiny.  We were discovered by Lt Marsland, who shared our views and was more superiour, therefore, we chose him to lead the, ah, mutiny.

 Adm. Francesca says:
CO/CSO: We simply need to ascertain exactly what the conditions were that led to this happening.

SO_Ens_York says:
@All: Ah yes, coffee. I'd love some.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
@::walks into a cafe and orders some dinner::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: Here is the private account on Ferenginar. ::Hands Turok a PADD::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@::Nods in agreement::

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Shifts Turen's position and looks around:: XO: Turen is getting fidgety. He is probably hungry.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@All: Yeah... yeah, head outside. Those doors, over there. I'll get us some coffee and be along in a moment. Sounds good?

SO_Ens_York says:
@CNS: Ryn...would you mind driving, I'm feeling a bit dizzy.

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@Rick: Yeah, let's find someplace to grrab something to eat.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams:  Admiral Woo did not believe that Captain Storal would listen to reason, and expressed that I use every means necessary, including takeover, to return the ship.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@SO: Why sure, sweetie. ::grins mischievously:: I'm so sorry that you have to be subject to this AWFUL chair... ::mockingly::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: And the vessel is waiting at the specified location?

SO_Ens_York says:
@CNS: Hey...don't push it love.

 Adm_Williams says:
::nods:: CSO: There are only two issues in contention today - one is whether or not you are criminally responsible, or if you were simply following orders. Another issue is, of course, the cause of the destruction of the Windsor and the death of her crew.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: Yes as agreed upon.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@SO: Don't call me love, love. And I'm pushing YOU. ::smiles and steers him outside with everyone else::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::rolls her eyes at the SO and CNS, and heads for the nearest place to get coffee::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::laughs outloud::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: Sir, the order he gave me, as I recall, was as I just said - to use every means necessary, including takeover, to return the ship.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@::Hangs his head a little at the mention of the Windsor.::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::points:: Rick: Oh, therre's a coffee place...I bet they have some sandwitches orr something.

SO_Ens_York says:
@CNS: You know what Ryn..I'm glad you're sticking around, I'd end up on Golden Gate Bridge if I was driving under influence.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: And were your associates able to acquire the cloaking device?

Rick_Spicer says:
@XO: Looks good. ::Walks to the coffee shop::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@SO: It'd take you off my hands, surely... maybe we could try it. ALL: I'm totally craving biscotti.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::gets to the coffee shop, and orders some coffee! And while she's waiting for it to come up, she plays her fingers along the tips of her ears and glances around, almost as if nervous::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::follows him, making sure that Xiao is comfy::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::looks up at Ryn and smiles sweetly::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: Yes, however it it has yet to be tested.

 Adm_Williams says:
CSO/CEO: As we have come to understand it, after the Apache refused to return to spacedock, the Windsor and Kenora were sent to stop you. They were left severely damaged - the Windsor was destroyed. Analysis showed that this occurred as a result of improper ejection of their warp core. Would you care to elaborate?

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Finds a table and sets Turen down in a chair and takes Xiao placing her in another chair:: XO: When are you supposed to check in to the Apache?

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@::Looks around to assure no one is listening in::

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Pulls out a chair for Bao then sits himself calling a waiter over::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@ALL: So, what does everyone want? I'll get the orders.

SO_Ens_York says:
@CTO: You know, after all this time eating Romulan rations...I'm having a decent English breakfast.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Williams: Sir... it was due to warp core ejection. As for improper... the computer command routines were used, if it was improper the programming was improper. None the less the warp cores were ejected by myself.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: Certainly.  I was in command of the Apache at the time, and was chasing a Romulan shuttle towards the neutral zone.  The Windsor and Kenora came after us, and as a last ditch effort to stop them, I tried using the flagship command codes to disable their warp drives.  It was shortly after that Ensign Derryth used them to eject the cores.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::sensitive Romulan ears hear the mention of the Apache, and Solita's natural curiosity takes over. She tries to eaves drop on the conversation. Without looking like she's eavesdropping:: SO: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah.

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::sits down and smiles at Rick, giving him a kiss on the cheek:: Rick: I believe it's soon. Maybe tomorrow.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: However, the warp cores did eject properly.  The ships were simply going too fast for them to remain intact, and one broke apart, destroying the Windsor.

SO_Ens_York says:
@CNS: Love, I'll have the English breakfast, sausage, beans, bacon and eggs. ::Grins at the love comment::

 Adm. Francesca says:
CSO/CEO: Surely you must have known that ejecting their warp cores would cause serious damage.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@SO: Not if you keep calling me that you won't. EO: Ayala?

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Francesca: Yes, ma'am, I am aware that ejecting their cores would cause serious damage.  It was not my intention to have the cores ejected.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::Grins at Ryn::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Francesca: A warp core eject should have caused no damage... since they weren't going critical.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Francesca: Seems my opinion differs.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
@::has wondered off after seeing something shiney in a store window::

Rick_Spicer says:
@XO: Then I guess I better get us a room. This could be a long wait. ::Orders for his family and asks the waiter to get him someone that can arrange for a room::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO: They were at warp... as soon as part of the core left the warp field, it'd break off, matter and anti-matter mixing... boom, Ensign.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: You haven't tested the cloak? What good is a useless cloak to me! This will certainly change the price of our previous negotiations.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@CTO: Solita? ::looks around for her::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::tilts her head:: Rick: I wonderr if she's docked yet?

 Adm_Williams says:
CEO: Nevertheless, serious damage did occur, and someone must answer to it. We understand that Adm. Woo did issue orders for the Windsor and Kenora to stop the Apache from reaching the Neutral Zone at all costs - but we are having difficulty coming to terms with the fact that a ship was destroyed, many lives were lost.

CO_Storal says:
::leans back in the chair and listens::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::Continues to eavesdrop on Rick Spicer and Co.'s conversation, and frowns slightly:: Self: C'mon, tell me something good... CNS: Uh-huh. Yeah.

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Grins:: XO: You're her XO. You should have access to that info.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: But I..

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: SILENCE!

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: With all due respect, Sir, while I did not tell the CEO to eject the warp cores, and did not want the cores ejected, the fact is, I was in command.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@CTO: Well wake up there, Rommie girl. You want a frappucino or what?

SO_Ens_York says:
@::relaxes in the chair and looks around, taking in the fact that he was actually back on Earth...::

 Adm_Williams says:
CO/OPS: And you were where, at this time?

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::blinks:: Rick: I neverr thought of that...I guess this was a bit sudden. ::orders some food for the kiddos::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: We will either fix this or our business is concluded.

CO_Storal says:
Williams: I was trying to regain control of my ship.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::blinks at the CNS:: CNS: Uh, yeah. Something sugary and cold. With...whipped cream. Maybe a frappucino? ::goes back to eavesdropping::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Williams: I was attempting to escort the CO and the XO to the brig.  I was stunned by the XO.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::moves his chair away from the others and towards the window, overlooking the bay:: 

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Checks the bag he is carrying and takes out a PADD and accesses SF Registry checking on the whereabouts of the Apache:: Bao: I guess I can check as well. Nothing like using my political clout as Ambassador. ::Laughs::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: Rick: What happened the last time you trried to go overr my head? ::mock serious, then smiles at him::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: I can have an engineer check it out right away.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@::sighs and goes to the counter to order::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::can't help but think about this whole mission...he wasn't sure how he felt about it, he had done some good job...then again he didn't manage to kill the Wraith before it took the XO....but something good came out of this all he thinks as he looks back at Ryn::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::suddenly nudges the Counselor excitedly:: CNS: Psst! Look, over there... that's an ambassador. Him and that person are talking about the Apa- hey, don't walk away!

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Grins:: XO: Hey, give me a break. I'm new at this Ambassador gig.

 Adm_Williams says:
OPS: As we understand it, as Capt. Storal traversed the neutral zone, you took command of the Apache, which also entered into Romulan Space. For what purpose?

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@CTO: What? I said I was getting drinks...

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Very fine but payment will be withheld until I am satisfied that the device is working.

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::takes a sip of her drink:: Rick: Yeah well, I hope you like living on a starrship instead of a station?

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@CNS: No, you don't understand! They're talking about the Apache! I... don't think they know anything about what's going on right now, though... should we go introduce ourselves?

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: Well perhaps you could send partial...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@CTO: Sure whatever. You first! ::grins and booty-bumps her closer to the table and scurries away giggling::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Williams: It was not my intent to enter Romulan space.  The Apache was propelled there against our will by a... ah... spiritual... force.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: I said when I am satisfied!

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::is booty bumped, and the midget female half-Romulan goes stutter-stepping towards Rick and Rr'Vellan's table, and steadies herself on the edge of it:: Rick,XO: Well, uh... *cough* Ah... hi there.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::sits by the window and watches her closely, still too frightened to drop the cool guy act and actually talk to her like a normal person::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::shoots a glare over her shoulder at the CNS::

 Adm_Williams says:
OPS: The so-called Pah'Wraiths.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> ::Grudgingly:: CMO: Very well then.

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Williams: Indeed.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@::grins like the chesire cat at her and orders the drinks::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Now about the quarters and replicators?

Rick_Spicer says:
@XO: Sounds fun. But when I resigned my commission and you were promoted to XO, I thought StarFleet was kidding when they offered me the Ambassador's position. ::Looks up at the CTO:: CTO: Ensign. ::Nods to the Ensign::

 Adm_Williams says:
OPS: And, further, you lost the Apache to the Tal'Shiar forces while in Romulan space. It is a good thing, indeed, that you were able to recover the vessel...

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Looks closer at the CTO and blinks:: CTO: You are assigned to the Apache? ::Notices the ship's insignia on her uniform::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::sits and tries to gather enough courage to tell her how he feels....but decides it's too soon::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Williams: I'm sure you can understand, Admiral... that situation was out of my control.

 Adm_Williams says:
OPS: Indeed. ::he stands up...::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::sniffs a bit, and nods:: Rick: Yes, sir. Ensign Solita, Chief Tactical.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: Private quarters and three working replicators.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@::walks back with the drinks on a tray and sets them down on a table::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::blinks and looks over:: Self: So that's what a CTO looks like on a ship?

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: And the holosuite?

 Adm_Williams says:
All: Does anyone have anything else to add to the record, other than what was said today, and what was in the official reports?

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@CTO: So I would assume that the ship has docked then?

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Williams: We were operating on the equivalent of a skeleton crew... the ship was overpowered by the Tal'Shiar forces.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: I was unable to procure one.

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Looks from the CTO to the XO then back again::

CO_Storal says:
Williams: I do. But my report would be extremely lengthy.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::stands up straight, and straightens out her uniform, at least trying to be presentable:: XO: Yes sir. Most of the command staff is in a, uh, debrief, sir. Glad to meet you, sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::notices Ryn bringing the tray and drives over to her with a smile::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Very well, that was just an extra. I will get my hands on one myself later.

CO_Storal says:
Williams: I will be satisfied turning in my report then if you need any elaboration.. I will be available to you.

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Smiles at the CTO noticing her slight discomfort at meeting her XO in this manner::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::thinks to herself, Ooookay. tactical situation: this person outranks you. Potential combat actions: confront, run away, die. Hmn. Death would be too easy. Look for a way out, look for a way out...:: XO: And, sir, the rest of the crew here was -just- telling me how much they were DYING to meet you! ::gestures to the CNS and SO nearby::

 Adm_Williams says:
CO/All: Fortunately for you, for better or for worse, the Federation has no desire to blow up this unfortunate incident that could very well have turned into a serious, serious diplomatic crisis between the UFP and the Romulan Star Empire. 

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@CTO: So wherre is everryone else hanging out? ::looks around and notices Turan has spit up and wipes his face::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@SO: Hey, I think that strange pointy eared girl is waving to us. ::waves back like she doesn't know her::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::waves back at Sol grinning:: CNS: Yes, she is strange.

SO_Ens_York says:
@CNS: So Ryn...our first date outside of Sickbay, huh? ::grins mischievously::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::hears her two shipmates, and her face falls:: Self: But - I just- but she- and- but- uh- XO: Erm, ah, erm, right... over... there... sir? ::weakly gives up, and kind of half-heartedly gestures in the direction of those two traitors, and gives them both glares!::

 Adm_Williams says:
CSO/CEO/OPS: For your actions, this incident will be noted in your permanent records. However, we do acknowledge at this time that some of you... :: he pauses:: .. may have been simply following what seemed to be legitimate orders from Adm. Woo to prevent war between the UFP and the Romulans.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@SO: In your dreams, Willy. But we should introduce ourselves to that Cait over there.

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Laughs:: CTO: Abandoned by your shipmates I see.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::raises an eybrow:: CNS: Willy???

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Is there anything else I should know about the vessel?

CO_Storal says:
Self: You got to be kidding me.. they are just sweeping this under the rug. I can’t believe it.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::crosses her arms and refuses to look upset:: Rick: Maaaaaaaybe. ::huffs a bit::

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::finishes her dinner and walks out of the cafe and enters a shop::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@::pushes the SO over to the new XO:: XO: Lieutenant Rynia Solaa. Apache ship's counselor. Nice to meet you, Commander. ::smiles::

 Adm_Williams says:
::he stares at the CO:: All: We believe that this will serve the best interests of everyone involved. Further, we also recognize your efforts in stopping Adm. Woo in his conspiratorial plans, and acknowledge them as such. 

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot:> CMO: The ship will pass even the most rigorous registration checks and she is in excellent condition.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: Excuse me, Admiral... but how will this be noted in our records?

SO_Ens_York says:
@::the chair almost topples over:: XO: Ensign William York, Science Officer. Nice to meet you.

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Stands up and then regrets doing so as he towers over the CTO but makes the best of it:: CTO: This is Commander Bao`Tzhu Rr`Vellan, XO of the Apache and I am Rick, her husband.

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@::waves:: CTO/CNS/SO:It's nice to meet you all.

 Adm_Williams says:
CO: You are thusly requested and required to assume command of the Apache once again. CSO: It will be noted as an incident of misconduct; the details will be classified to all but the highest levels of Starfleet.

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::agrees with Tom:: Williams: Yes, I would like to know if this will be noted as a formal reprimand, a simple mark, etcetera...

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods::

Rick_Spicer says:
@CNS/SO: Nice to meet you both.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::smiles at them both::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@Rick: Okay, YOUR name I can pronounce...

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
Williams: Will there be another classified note of good conduct regarding the stopping of Admiral Woo?

CO_Storal says:
All: It’s conditional to our silence.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
@::smiles in her most chipper manner:: Rick: Greetings sir, thank you. Very nice to meet you both. ::stage whispers at the CNS and SO:: CNS,SO: I'll get you later, traitors.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::and nudges Ryn for pushing him and calling him 'Willy'::

Rick_Spicer says:
@::Retakes his seat motioning that the three should sit down and join them::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@CNS/CTO/SO: And these arre ourr kids, Turran and Xiao.

 Adm_Williams says:
::he says nothing, in response to the CSO:: All: ... You are dismissed.

SO_Ens_York says:
@::smiles at the children:: Turran/Xiao: Hi there, it's nice to meet you. 

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::mutters to no one in particular:: Self: I'll... take that as a no.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
@XO: Uh... Commander... Boo'ts Shu? Shengminga? Er... ::makes a face trying to pronounce the syllables::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Is there room for any "visitors" who might want to accompany me on this venture?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Stands, salutes, does an about face and waits on the captain to follow him out::

CO_Storal says:
::stands up and taps his combadge:: *Apache Crew*: This is Capt. Storal. You are all to report to the main conference lounge immedatly. Storal out.

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::hears the com, and exits the shop::

SO_Ens_York says:
@::startled by the Captain's voice, he snaps to attention and looks at Ryn and Sol::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::follows likewise with the CEO, saluting the Admirals:: CEO: Well, lucky us...

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::stands and walks to the front of the room, extending a hand to Admiral Williams::

CO_Storal says:
::Exits the hearing::

Rick_Spicer says:
@CNS: No worries Counselor. I can't pronounce her name most times. ::Laughs:: That's why I kept my last name.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@Pilot: Make sure the transporters are functional.

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
@<Nicodemous> ::moves to looks over Bao's shoulder and chirps::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::exits the room after shaking hands with the three admirals and thanking them::

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
@<Pilot> CMO: They are ready at a moments notice.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Whispering:: CSO: It was not luck sir... it's politics that served us this day

ACTION: The crew are all assembled in the main conference lounge of the Apache... with the CO standing in front...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Standing at attention::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::sipping some orange juice, standing next to Tom::

TO_Ens_Newell says:
::standing in the conference lounge::

SO_Ens_York says:
::sits in his chair, upright and smiling, taking it a good sign that the Captain's there::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::sitting in his usual chair at the opposite end from the Captain, sipping a replicated cream soda::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::standing next to Ryn at attention with a slight smirk on his face::

CO_Storal says:
::stands at the head of the table looking at his crew:: All: The incident that occurred during our last mission has been resolved.

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::sits in her chair, and listens to the CO intently::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sitting near the back of the room, watching the crew of people she barely knew::

CO_Storal says:
All: The results are classified. No one shall discuss the events of the mission. Period.

CMO_LtJg_Turok says:
::Looks around the room and slowly sits down::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::raises her hand just a little bit. Enough to be noticed, but low enough to be easily ignored::

CO_Storal says:
All: If you discuss the incident. Swift and strict disciplinary action will occur. Is that clear...

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::gives the CTO a pointed stare to drop the hand::

SO_Ens_York says:
::wonders if they are allowed to talk to each other about the incident::

CO_Storal says:
All: Now with that said...

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::notices the CSO's glare, and drops her hand, then discreetly points a finger at the new XO and raises a questioning eyebrow at Marsland::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Is going to repress all those memories::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::mouths "X - O" to the CTO::

CO_Storal says:
All: Cmdr. Neagle-Marsland is ok and is currently serving as the Commanding Officer of the Hayden.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::drops his jaw in shock::

CO_Storal says:
CSO: You will have time to contact your wife as soon as this is over. ::winks::

SO_Ens_York says:
::lets out a sigh of relief...he thought she had died when he was unable to save her...::

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::nods lightly, and turns her attention back to the Captain. But not without sniggering at the CSO's reaction first. Just a little bit::

CO_Storal says:
All:Now taking her place isnt an easy thing. Taking her place is Cmdr. Bao'tzhu Shengming Rr'Vellan ::motions to the new XO::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CSO: Wow. What a change...

ACTION: Adm. Williams steps into the conference lounge, and discreetly takes a seat in the back.

CO_Storal says:
XO: Welcome Commander...

CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::thinks to herself, and I thought my name was a pain for the humans to say::

XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::stands at attention, both at the Captain's announcement, and at the Admiral's entrance::

CO_Storal says:
All: Now with that said.. and for the life of me...I do not know why...Starfleet has decide to reward you degenerates for your actions during the mission.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:

CO_Storal says:

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
