Host Hebert says:
Summary:  The crew of Avalon have returned to their station, which is now a bit quieter, yet a bit louder as changes in personnel have started taking place in this sector.
Host Hebert says:
It's been nearly 2 days since the return of the Tigris, and Avalon is still piecing together some small patches in damage control issues.  The USS Phoenix and USS Pearl are still mostly disabled; however, Avalon is running quite smoothly (how odd).
Host Hebert says:
Starfleet promised new orders upon reassignment of Avalon's XO; however, Starfleet Channels have been quite quiet as so is Avalon's airspace.
Host Hebert says:
It's 07:15 Station Time, and the market place is just starting to stir, as is most of the crew on day shift.

:: steps off the lift and enters operations walking towards the captain ::
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
*DM*:  This is Lieutenant Hawkes in operations, revising E.T.A. of USS Kainai to five hours fifty-three minutes.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks at the person approaching, that has to be the captain::
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
<DM>*CSO*:  Understood Lieutenant.  The security protocol for the Kainai is still SQ one, correct.
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
*DM*:  That is correct, SQ one condition for off loading of ordinance and related materials.
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
<DM>*CSO*:  Very good Lieutenant, we'll have bay three all locked down tight by the time they arrive.
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
::cuts the channel, and checks the Kainai position once more::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::shakes the CTO's hand.::  CTO:  We are glad to have you here and hope that you feel at home.

::sees Commander Ford lurking over her shoulder.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
CO: In my lines of work, that won't be a problem, sir.
Host Cmdr_Ford says:
:: looks up at the CSO and gets a distasteful look on his face almost worry ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
::  Hears the CSO and prepares for action.:: CO: Looks like we hit the ground running. :: smiles.:: I assume you'll want a full tactical work up as of yesterday?
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::turns a  bit towards Ford.::  Commander Ford:  These are our new Operations officer and Chief Tactical Officer,  Commander Ashworth and Lt. Commander Ashworth.
Host Cmdr_Ford says:
:: nods now seemingly not interested in the new crew... nods again seemingly nervous ::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
CTO/OPS:  This is Commander Ford.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::nods in the direction of the person the CO I s talking to.::
Host Cmdr_Ford says:
Aloud: He..hello.  Nice to meet you.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Ford:  Nice to meet you.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
:: Nods toward Cmdr. Ford and heads toward Tactical.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
Cmdr. Ford: Likewise, sir.
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
::nods once to Ford::   CO:  Captain, I do have a boogie on sensors
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
CO:  A small vessel on the extreme limit of our sensors.  Looks to be a scout class, moving at low warp speed in the vicinity of the Borath Nebula...  Course is changing erratically
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
CTO:  To get back to your comment.  Yes, run a tactical work up.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks over and learns where she is going to be working::  CO:  And I assume that I am over there.  ::points to her new post::
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
::watching sensors::  Self:  Mmmmm
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
CO: Aye, sir. You'll have it post haste. :: Gets to tactical and starts his work up.:: CSO: Can you send me the readings from that ship, please.
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
::transfers sensor data to tactical::  CTO:  sending you telemetry
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
*Mendez*:  Hawkes to Mendez, you anywhere near the sensor control room?
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
<Mendez> *CSO* :  Not at the moment.  Why, you need me there?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO: Thank you.  Has our bogie as you called it shown any hostilities so far?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she assumes her new post and quickly configures it to her protocols and such::
Host Cmdr_Ford says:
:: nods again to everyone as he nervously leaves Operations in the rear turbolift ::
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
CSO:  Not so far, but given we have an inbound ordinance supply ship, I think its pretty suspicious
CTO_LtCmdr_Ashworth says:
:: Starts the work up on the ship trying to find a match to any known ships.::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
OPS:  I'm sorry but Commander Ford can be a distraction.  Please take your station.  ::points over to where ops is located.::
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
*Mendez*:  Yeah I do Amber.  I need you to boost the gain on the LRS array, if you can.

CSO: Noted.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  No problem.  ::continues to work::
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
<Mendez> *CSO* :  I'll see what I can do.
Bakoue says:
< Madam > It is indeed.......What is your name young man ?
Bakoue says:
Madam: Bakoue,is my name....Service is my game....Product quality is my Name
CSO_LT_Hawkes says:
::double checks position of the Kainai against target 2, and the last known position of target 1::
CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::sees that the CTO and OPS seem to fit right in.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::decides to wait to inform the CO about her ......condition.... later::
Bakoue says:
<Madam> Is it,Well  You do have some interesting Items.
Bakoue says:
Madam: My Card !
