Captains Log: Stardate 10111.21 We are currently at Starbase 185 along with the newly found USS Artemis. I am to hand over the Polaris while my crew enjoys shoreleave.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
We found our ship in what used to be the Cat's Cradle and with it, we brought along old derelicts from voyages past.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
My Chief Engineer and his teams are on the Artemis helping with the purging of the Borg technology from her.

@::Arriving at the SB on a transport vessel.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

Host Capt_Ross says:
::As the pressurized gangway attaches itself to the Runabout, Ross collects his Away Bag, and prepares to disembark onto the Starbase::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Mr. Somak, when Star Fleet arrives, I would like for you to join me in handing over the Polaris

XO_Somak says:
*CO*: Roger, sir. Have we got a time estimate on them?

CEO_Russel says:
::shirt soaked in sweat, a broad smile on his face, he walks down the promenade.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Expecting them within the hour

XO_Somak says:
*CO*: Understood.

Host Capt_Ross says:
::The gangway doors open and Ross exits his Runabout and heads for the corridor::

FCO_Teasley says:

@Capt. Douglas:  Thank you for the safe and quick journey.  ::Smiles::  I hope you find that which you seek.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:

CMO_Mea`e says:
@:: Is beamed over to the starbase.::

Host Capt_Ross says:
*SB OPS*: Understood, on my way :: Recalls the route to Airlock two, and heads there with a quickening pace::

CEO_Russel says:
::Sees the XO, nods at him as he passes by him.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Picks up her bag, wondering if the Artemis is ready or not for her crew.::

XO_Somak says:
::gives the CEO a brief nod and continues, finding his way to the Airlock::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::walks onto the turbolift with his bag in hand:: TL: Deck 6

KayanBryn says:
::Following along with mixed feelings.::

Host Capt_Ross says:
::Looks over his right shoulder:: Bryn: Are you with me?

FCO_Teasley says:
::heads to the bar::

XO_Somak says:
::rocks up to the airlock, looking at all the people and all the familiar faces::

CNS_Farrel says:
::walking along the promenade of the station, distractedly looking around at the bustling activity around her::

KayanBryn says:
::Blinks her mind back and takes a longer step::  Capt.:  Yep... along with this big belly.  It is more with you at the moment then I am.  ::Sighs::

Host Capt_Ross says:
::Arrives at the Airlock, seeing all his crewmates, rushes in to greet them::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan exits the turbolift and make his way to docking port #2::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
Ross: Good to see you again, captain.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Sees the counselor and hurries to catch up to her.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::walks to the bar and orders a drink::
 
 Host Capt_Ross says:
SBCO: Ah, Captain, it is good to see you as well, how are things? I understand that the Artemis has been recovered

KayanBryn says:
::Smiles at the various crewmates.::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::smiles:: Ross: I figured that was the main reason you were here.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Good to see you.  How are you doing?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::arrives at the docking port and makes his way through it while glancing at the people gathered::

Host Capt_Ross says:
SBCO: ::grins sheepishly:: Yes, well, when I heard that she had been recovered, I cashed in a few favors at SFC, they gave me orders to bring back the Polaris to Sector 001, I couldn’t refuse the opportunity

XO_Somak says:
::watches the conversations silently::

CNS_Farrel says:
::looks up from a sheet of Tholian silk she had been handling::  CMO: Doctor, I’m alright, and you?

KayanBryn says:
::Smiles:: SBCO:  And I get to fly one last time before I am temporarily grounded indefinitely.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::nods:: CO: Ah, Captain MacPherson...good to see you. I believe you two have already met... ::gestures at Ross::

Host Capt_Ross says:
SBCO: ::Presenting Kayan:: You remember my former Chief Medical Officer, I brought her along as well, she will be the Polaris' CMO on the return trip

FCO_Teasley says:
::drinks his brandy and looks for his crewmembers::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the bar, notices the FCO, and walks over to him.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles:: SBCO: Ah yes, that I do

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Fine.  Everything is back to normal at home.  I am a bit nervous though of stepping aboard the Artemis.  Have they finished work on her?

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
Bryn: Do you, now?  ::grins lopsidedly::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ALL: I'm only here to record the command transfer, so at your leisure.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Hello Mr. Russel

KayanBryn says:
SBCO: Everyone should fly a museum at least once I guess.

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Please, call me Matt.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: When we get the chance, I want a full status report from you about the Artemis

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.  Just let me know when you've got some free time.

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO:  I'm not sure, actually.  I've been blissfully unaware the last few days, I've been in meditation.  But I will be nervous to return to the Artemis as well.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks over to Capt. Ross: CO: Well I do believe that this heap is yours

FCO_Teasley says:
::trying it again:: CEO: Hello Matt

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  You will have memories of the past and I will be walking in the footsteps of memories.  Well, we can lean on each others feet for awhile maybe.  ::Smiles::

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Hey Joe, how has your shoreleave been?

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: Captain Ewan, <g>, by order of StarFleet Command, Stardate 10111.23, I hereby relieve you and take command of the USS Polaris

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Walking in footsteps of memories?  ::Wishing she could remember more, her mind still fuzzy about the last few weeks::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I hear by relieve command to you as of this Stardate of 10111.23

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Good so far, I thought about skipping shoreleave to help repair Artemis

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I'll accompany you to the Bridge so that we can transfer the command codes

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Yes, Bryn's.  You sure you are alright?  You look a bit... lost?

KayanBryn says:
CO:  Sure you don't want to keep the Polaris?  ::Smiles mischievously::

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: Thank you Ewan, it is good to see you :: walks down the gangway to the Polaris' airlock::

XO_Somak says:
::follows behind the group, feeling strangely silent::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: You can do that from here. ::points to the airlock control panel:: We've got it linked up.

Host Capt_Ross says:
::Stops in his tracks and turns::

CEO_Russel says:
::orders a glass of iced tea.::  FCO:  Ah.  Don't worry about the Arty, just enjoy your shoreleave.  ::smiles.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Your welcome John, good to see you and Bryn once again. So how has the Academy been treating you?

XO_Somak says:
::also stops, clasping his hands behind his back::

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Forgive me...the last few weeks are still unclear... ::Sensing something in the CMO:: you are telepathic?

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: We got our ship back and that's something to be excited about though

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods her head slowly.::  CNS:  More empathic though I did inherit the ability from my father...

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
COs: And when you're done, we can go to the Artemis. ::smiles broadly::

CEO_Russel says:
::his drink arrives.::  FCO:  Indeed.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turns to Bryn:: CMO: I see the wee one is about due

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: you are Betazoid?

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: It is there! still, and it will still be on our return

KayanBryn says:
CO:  yea... now if I could just convince them to come early.

FCO_Teasley says:
::raises his drink::  CEO: Here's to the Artemis

CEO_Russel says:
::raises his drink.::  FCO:  To the Arty!

FCO_Teasley says:
::hits his glass with Matt's::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: So John. have you run into my father, Adm. MacPherson? he teaches an advanced Engineering class in his spare time

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  No, I am ½ Minaran, ½ Haliian.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: In due time, in due time. So how is my old drinking buddy? ::chuckles::

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: No, our paths haven’t crossed as yet, but I have seen his course syllabus cross my desk a few times

CEO_Russel says:
::takes a big sip of his drink.::

KayanBryn says:
::Looks back at the XO::  XO:  You are quiet.

FCO_Teasley says:
::drinks some of his brandy::

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: My Command Codes Captain?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I'm sure it will, especially since I haven't spoken to him or mum for a couple of months

XO_Somak says:
::blinks:: Kayan: I have little to say..

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Minaran? ::Remembering an old Artemis doctor who used to transfer others injuries onto himself::  Fascinating...

KayanBryn says:
::quietly::  XO:  You have the Artemis back...

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Bet you can't wait to fly her out.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Shrugs::  CNS:  It is part of me, like an arm or leg, it does not who I am though.  That is nice material.  You thinking of making a dress with it?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Computer: transfer command codes from Capt. Ewan Christopher MacPherson-Quest to Capt. Joshua Gunn Ross Zeta Alpha 2 Kilo

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: No sir, and I'll bet you can't wait to fix her warp drive again

XO_Somak says:
Kayan: Think of it as an awed silence, I suppose. I'm glad to have the ship back, I just feel mentally tired.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
<Computer> ALL: Command codes transferred.

CEO_Russel says:
::grins.::  FCO:  What makes you think I didn't already?

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ALL: Well, there you go. What do you say we take care of part two?

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: It would be nice, but Tholian silk is far too expensive...don't think I could explain this one to the captain putting it on the Arty charge card.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Well looks like you got yourself another command

Host Capt_Ross says:
::Turns to see his former CTO: XO: Mr. Somak, you are paying special attention to protocol, how have you been?

KayanBryn says:
XO:  I think I can understand that.  It would almost be perfect if... ::Stops a tear gathering in the back of her eye, she blinks it.::  I am glad she is back and you will be caring for her and her crew.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: I didn't say that you hadn't

XO_Somak says:
::blinks again:: Capt.: Sir, I've been well.

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: For however a short time it will take to get back, perhaps we will travel at space normal speed

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  How about enough to make a scarf?  I can help you make it.  And a little indulgence every now and again is good.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
::was somehow expecting them to be a little more eager to see the Artemis::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: Mr. Russel, Your presence will be required at the Artemis, along with any other personnel that may be with you

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Well, okay ::giggles::  ::Has the appropriate length cut::

Host Capt_Ross says:
XO: It is good to see you., where is 'She'? I want to see her

FCO_Teasley says:
::finishes his drink::

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: Anything you'd like to get?

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.  ::finishes his drink.::  FCO:  Well, shall we?

XO_Somak says:
Capt.: You too, sir. Who is 'She'?

CNS_Farrel says:
::Hands the clerk her Artemis Express Card::

Host Capt_Ross says:
XO: The Artemis, who else?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CNS:  Yep... I think I will get some material as well, but I am going to make a chaw out of it.  ::Points out a unique piece and has the merchant cut her a piece.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Remember, that’s a true Vulcan your talking to ::begins to laugh a bit::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ALL: If you'll follow me... ::heads for the Artemis' airlock::

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Let's shall

XO_Somak says:
::blinks:: Capt.: Oh.. of course. ::hears the SBCO:: This way, I suppose. ::follows::

CEO_Russel says:
::stands and heads for the bar's exit.  Walks onto the promenade.::

KayanBryn says:
::Looks back at the SBCO as he leaves, then turns back to the others.::

Host Capt_Ross says:
SBCO: Ah, please lead the way! I'm full of anticipation ::Looks over at Kayan and grins::

FCO_Teasley says:
::follows the CEO out::

KayanBryn says:
::Smiles back and steps in beside Capt. Ross with both trepidation and gladness.::

CEO_Russel says:
::leaving the bar, notices the CNS and CMO across.  Walks over to them.::  CNS/CMO:  Greetings ladies.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: We found the Artemis in what used to be the Cat's Cradle. We have the CSO to thank for that

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks up::  CEO:  Good to see you.  How are things going?  You ready to take over the Artemis once again?

CNS_Farrel says:
CEO: Hello Matt

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: I've read your report, how well has she faired? So what did we see obliterate itself in the void?

CEO_Russel says:
CMO/CNS:  Actually we're heading there right now, you two care to join us?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Takes the material that has been wrapped carefully, thanking the merchant.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CMO/CNS: Captain called us back to the ship

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I am assuming that it was many of the old derelicts that were trapped there as  well

CMO_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Sure.  I guess it is about time I see my new home.  ::Picks up her bag, lifting it to her shoulder with a grunt.::

CEO_Russel says:
::nods and leads the way towards the Arty.::

KayanBryn says:
::Listens as they walk along, thinking of those who did not make it back with the ship.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Adjusts her duffel bag, and follows, shopping bag in tow::

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: I would have gone to my grave believing that I ordered the destruction of my own ship.........::shakes his head in disbelief::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ACTION: The small party arrives at the Artemis' airlock.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: I've never been big on ceremony.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
ALL: Well, here we are

CNS_Farrel says:
FCO: Hi Joe, how's shoreleave been?

FCO_Teasley says:
CNS Great, how about yourself

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
COMPUTER: Computer, transfer Artemis command codes to Captain Ewan MacPherson-Quest, authorization Mobly seven five-gamma epsilon.

CNS_Farrel says:
FCO: Good, very relaxing actually.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
<COMPUTER> SBCO: Command codes transferred.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks over at the FCO::  FCO:  Good to see you.

Host Capt_Ross says:
::Steps closer to the observation window, and peers upon his former command, worker bee pods and cargo lifts busy converting her Borg elements back to Federation specs, his heart beats quicker::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
CO: Congratulations, captain, and welcome home.

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: I'm envious Ewan

KayanBryn says:
::quietly::  Capt.:  Good to see...

CEO_Russel says:
::arrives at the airlock where the Arty is docked.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Still the same old ship :;smiles::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CEO:  So... ::Pauses::

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ACTION: As various crew peek through the windows at the Artemis, they note the last of the crews pulling away from a very clean looking Steamrunner. The fresh paint gleams and sparkles.

CEO_Russel says:
::smiles proudly.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
All: ah there he is. CEO: Status report if you will

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: She looks just as she did that fateful day! ::Looks over to Kayan, and grins from ear to ear::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Looking at the view:: Wow...

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Grins::  CEO:  I get it... OK, you lead, me follow.

Host SBCO_Mobly says:
ALL: If you folks will excuse me, I've got a stack of PADDs that I've put off as long as I can. ::smiles at everyone, then departs::

XO_Somak says:
::pulls his attention away from the group to take a look at the Artemis, probably a rare chance to see the Artemis looking clean::

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Well I'll keep this short since everybody must be eager to climb aboard.  The Artemis is fully repaired.

Host Capt_Ross says:
SBCO: Thank you Captain Mobly, I will check with you before the Polaris gets underway

KayanBryn says:
Capt.: Sans a few scratches.  Think I could engrave my name somewhere?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: No Borg remnants?

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Nope.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: She looks like she just came out of Spacedock

XO_Somak says:
Self: Finally, I get a chair.

CNS_Farrel says:
::Is relieved all the Borg tech is gone::

CNS_Farrel says:
XO: Ditto...

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Let's hope not, I don't want anything of that sidious race to remain

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Slips over to Bryn::

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Don't worry, we inspected every inch of it, it's clean.

KayanBryn says:
::Smiles at La'i.  It was nice to look someone in the eyes without craning her head up.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
Bryn:  How is the baby doing?  I thought you were ordered to keep things light?

KayanBryn says:
CMO:  I am.  Consider it good therapy for me to be here.  The baby will be fine and I doubt anyone would want to hijack a museum piece.  So... no stress.  don't worry.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: That’s what I like to hear. Would you like to do the honors and give us a guided tour?

Host Capt_Ross says:
ALL: Well, this has been quite a reunion, but....we need to get the Polaris back to SFA, this last mission has given the Engineering Cadets new ideas. Good to see you all once again!

XO_Somak says:
::gives the Captain another final salute:: CO: Until next time, sir.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::shakes John's hand:: CO: Good to see you and Bryn again. If you happen to run into my father, tell him that I'll send him a communiqué soon

KayanBryn says:
::Realizing their brief time was about an end, goes over to the CEO::

Host Capt_Ross says:
XO: Mr. Somak, keep 'her' in one piece, I don’t think she has many letters to go <G>

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  A tour?  ::looks at his sweaty uniform.::  Well as long as you don't mind a dirty guide...

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: Ewan, I will, take care, congratulations Captain!

XO_Somak says:
Capt.: Who knows sir, perhaps one day we'll be in double letters.

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Captain, it was good to see you again...take care of yourself.

Host Capt_Ross says:
CNS: Mr. Farrel, I wish we had more time to talk, Take care <G>

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles::

KayanBryn says:
CEO: I guess this will be a quick hello and good-bye.  You take good care of the Artemis now... I wish... well, never mind.  You take care of her, and yourself.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps back to watch the old friends and crew mingling, feeling on the outside, but then she was.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Does not matter to me Chief

CEO_Russel says:
Kayan:  Hey, well you take care of yourself...  ::grins::  mom.

Host Capt_Ross says:
Kayan: Well Kayan, are you ready to take our museum piece back to the archives

KayanBryn says:
::Lifts a finger::  CEO:  Don't you start... ::Gives him a mock smile, then steps up and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.::

KayanBryn says:
CO:  Just about...

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Take care of that bucket of bolts, she served us well

KayanBryn says:
::Waddles over and gives the counselor a quick hug::  CNS:  It will all work out.  Take care.

Host Capt_Ross says:
CO: I will Captain, Good luck ::Shakes the Captain's hand and heads down the corridor to the Polaris' airlock::

Host Capt_Ross says:
Kayan: Well, I never did think we would ever see the Arty again, glad we came, those favors were will used

KayanBryn says:
CO/XO:  Take good care of my ship ::Winks and goes to the captains side.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Hugs:: Bryn:  You too, both of you ::smiles::

CEO_Russel says:
::waits for everybody to finish their good-byes.::

KayanBryn says:
::Waves to those around a last farewell... for now.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO_Ross: Good luck and take care

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Your ship? don't you mean mine? ::smiles::

KayanBryn says:
CO:  Yes, it was.  At least some things are as they should be.

FCO_Teasley says:
Kayan: You take care now

Host Capt_Ross says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Teasley, keep 'her' out of trouble <g>

KayanBryn says:
CO:  Ha... mine and always mine ::Grins::  If you aren't careful, I'll come back and haunt you.  ::Smiles::  May you always sail true.

XO_Somak says:
::watches the group, thinking this is somehow trivial... he might be going through a mood however::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Gladly

Host Capt_Ross says:
*<Polaris OPS>* Prepare to get underway, we will be departing in 30 minutes

CEO_Russel says:
::thinks the Arty just won't be the same without Kayan and Ross...::

XO_Somak says:
::turns back around and admires the Artemis once more::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turns to his XO:: XO: This ship just might be yours one day "Bubba" ::pokes him and laughs::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Smiles fondly at everyone::  CNS:  Any idea where my quarters are?

CNS_Farrel says:
::Waves a final time...wondering what the "new" Artemis was going to be like::

CNS_Farrel says:
CMO: hmm ::smiles:: I should have a pretty good idea

XO_Somak says:
::tries to dodge unsuccessfully:: CO: I can only hope.

KayanBryn says:
::Feels the baby quick and puts a hand on her tummy::  Capt.:  So, the circle is complete and a new journey begins...
