<<<<Begin Mission Decisions>>>>

CNS_Enki says:
::Sitting in the briefing room, wearing a crisp new uniform and feeling rather rested::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sitting in the briefing room, waiting for the CO to start speaking::

XO_Tarrez says:
::Sitting in the briefing room holding a package::

CMO_Hunter says:
::sitting in the briefing room::

OPS_D`von says:
::setting in the briefing room, across from Syrna.  He takes a moment to glance over at her, he wonders what is it about her.  Why cant he just stop thinking about her, and move on like he has done with all the other girls::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks into the briefing room pleased to see the senior staff already there.  Goes to the head of the table and sits down:: All: I want to first tell you that I want to commend everyone for their actions during the past few weeks.  We've gone through hell and back and survived mainly due to your diligence.

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow at OPS, a subtle twinkle in her eye:;

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: The Admiral has decided that the Del will be sent to Starbase 22 so we have been granted 30 days shoreleave.  ::grins::

CNS_Enki says:
::Thinks to herself: Shore leave?  Whew, some people could probably use it::

XO_Tarrez says:
::face remains grim::

CMO_Hunter says:
::sees the look on Sys face...and wonders what’s on her mind::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks: shoreleave may be nice.... glances at D'von::

OPS_D`von says:
::turns his head and looks towards the captain when Syrna glances at him::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: I'll need status reports from all of you and also a rotation schedule for the personnel in your departments.  We've been granted shuttle service to Inu Tontsu for all who want to spend their shoreleave there.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: Any questions so far?

OPS_D`von says:
CO: Ma'am have you had time to read over my report concerning the communication spikes?
 
CSO_Syrna says:
::shakes head "no", then hears OPS, looks over, wondering what is going on::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Yes, Lt.  And that is one of the things that I have marked for discussion.

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up at D'von momentarily before returning her gaze to the table::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around the table and takes a sip of her coffee before continuing:: All: As you have just heard...there were spikes in the communications that indicated that a message was sent to the B'rel ship before it fired.  It is a good probability that the message contained our shield frequencies.  I'm sure you all know what that means...?

CMO_Hunter says:
Aloud:: A traitor...

CSO_Syrna says:
::is surprised, but does not show it, merely nods in agreement with Hunter::

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up at the CMO and holds his gaze a moment::

CNS_Enki says:
::Wonders why the XO is looking down all of the time... could something be going on with the CMO?  Some development since she last talked to the XO?::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: I want you to know that I have never considered any of you suspect but someone on this ship is a traitor.  We have been given 30 days to find them before SFI sends their own people in.

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks back into Sys eyes...searching for some trace of what’s wrong....and smiles back at her::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: And there is one more thing that I wanted to discuss with you.  :: pauses and looks over at Sykora:: For this I'll let the XO brief you.  ::indicates that Sykora has the floor::

CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders who it could be, some one in science?::

XO_Tarrez says:
All: As some of you may or not be aware of my parents have been missing for the better part of a year.  We came across my mother on the Da'Varain.  Since that time The CO and myself have meet with SFI and we have discovered that they were a part of SFI.

XO_Tarrez says:
All: Due to some mishaps and changes in politics my parents were thought to be dead and were left out on there own.  However, SFI has informed me now that they know... they still have no plans for going in to retrieve them.  ::lays the packet on the table::

CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders what is in the packet::

XO_Tarrez says:
All: I found this in my temporary quarters. ::Reaches inside of the packet and pulls out the flimsy.  It is a hardcopy picture from a surveillance camera that reveals a street corner with many Romulans walking about and several stores whose names where wrote in Romulan on the building.::

XO_Tarrez says:
::Circled on the pictures is a male dressed as a civilian entering one of the stores::  All: The man circled in this picture is my father.

CNS_Enki says:
::Leans forward, interested to see where this story is going... Sy wouldn't tell everyone unless something was up::

XO_Tarrez says:
All: And on the back is this... ::Flips the picture over to reveal the writing in Federation Standard  "Good Luck.  ---A Friend."::

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up at K'Beth::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: :: casually:: Since we know where Sykora's father is....the Commander and I were thinking of going in and getting him and we were wondering if any of you would like to come along for the ride.

CMO_Hunter says:
All: Count me in.

OPS_D`von says:
XO: Like I said before, I would like to help with this in anyway I can

CNS_Enki says:
::Ponders for a moment:: CO/XO: I'm not certain what I can offer, but if you feel my services could be helpful, I offer them.

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks long and hard:: CO/XO: Logically.... I should go and assist. For you will need my talents greatly.

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks at Hunter not sure she wants him along on this mission::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::leans forward deadly serious:: All:  I do not want your answers now.  I want you all to seriously think about this.  There is a great chance that you will be captured and a greater chance that you will be killed.

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods in understanding::

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions to say something::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: We will have no outside resources for help.  We cannot even rely on whatever SFI operatives are in there.  Plus one other thing...you may very well lose your commission in Starfleet if you come back.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Commander?

CNS_Enki says:
::Slowly moves her hands to the pips at her collar, wondering what it would mean to her..::

OPS_D`von says:
::thinks back to some of the things he has done while on this ship, and losing his commission has never kept him from doing it then why should it matter now::

XO_Tarrez says:
All: I do not want any of you to go on this out of feelings of loyalty... or obligations. ::looks at Hunter::

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks right back, jaw set::

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods again in understanding::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: Those of you who stay will be conducting the investigation to find the traitor amongst the crew.  Once again I cannot stress the danger of losing either your life or your commission on this venture.  ::pauses:: There is no shame in staying behind.

OPS_D`von says:
::sees the Doctor and XO looking at each other, and wonders what is going on between them:;

CNS_Enki says:
CO/XO: Captain, Commander... again, if you feel I have anything to offer, tell me.  Otherwise, I think I could assist the team to search for the traitor.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at OPS, wonders if he will stay and investigate or go::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around the table for a few minutes:: All: I would like each of you to come speak to me privately in my ready room when this is over.  Counsellor, I cannot make that decision for you...but either decision you will be a valuable resource.

CSO_Syrna says:
::sitting patiently, expression unreadable::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: In the meantime, please send your crew rotation reports and have your departments stand down and ready to vacate the Del within 48 hours.  Temporary quarters have been provided for the crew on the Starbase.  The OPS has a list of quarter assignments.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: Any questions?

CSO_Syrna says:
::subtly shakes her head "no"::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: can I speak with you for a moment when we are done?

CNS_Enki says:
::Wonders if she could lead the investigation... but thinks that as a LtJg, probably not::

XO_Tarrez says:
::wonders what he wants to talk to her about... hopes it is to stay behind::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Of course Doctor.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around again:: All: Good work people and I know I don't have to emphasis that nothing said here goes beyond these walls.  Dismissed.

CSO_Syrna says:
::stands:: OPS: D'von... may I speak with you?

CMO_Hunter says:
::Stands and moves toward the Captain::

OPS_D`von says:
::stands and nods yes to the CSO::

XO_Tarrez says:
::collects the items from the package and proceeds to place them back in the packet::

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods and stands up, leaving slowly... taking a look at everyone, wondering what they will choose::

CSO_Syrna says:
::moves with unearthly calm and grace out of the briefing room:: OPS: Please, walk with me.

OPS_D`von says:
::walks with the CSO:: CSO: What can I help you with

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up to see the CMO approaching the CO and wants to stay.  Decides however to give him space begins to walk out::

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: I was wondering what you thought about all of this? Are you planning to go?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at Sy:: XO: Meet me in my ready room in an hour, please.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods at the CO and gives Hunter one last look before leaving::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am....

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Last time we were at SB, the XO and I spoke.  She mentioned that she didn’t know where her parents were, and I offered to help. At first she didn’t want me getting involved, but after some more talk I didn’t really give her a choice. I did some research and not much came out of it, until we saw her mother on the Romulan ship. 

CSO_Syrna says:
::listens and walks with D'von::

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: I offered my services then, and I plan on keeping my promise

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Well since we are the only ones left we might as well have this conversation here.  You already made your decision?

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: Yes I did. I will be going

XO_Tarrez says:
::keeps her distance from the rest of the crew not wanting to influence their decisions::

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Ah. That is understandable. ::nods:: I plan on going as well. They will need me.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: You know that there will be great danger even for you.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: I don’t think I could ever look at myself in the mirror again if I stayed behind

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Is that your only reason for wanting to go?

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: It is logical for me to go. Are you asking me if I do it out of loyalty? Or.... are you thinking I may have a different... more personal reason for going, Alyx?

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: ::sighs:: Its the right thing for me Ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::leans on the table and picks up her coffee cup.  Sips the now cold coffee and makes a face before going over and ordering a new cup at the replicator:: CMO: This is not the time to be heroic and macho, Doctor.  As I said, there is no shame or dishonor in staying behind.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: I’m not doing this out of any of those reasons

XO_Tarrez says:
::walks into her office::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: ::nods and grins:: Well then it will be an honor to have you with us.  In fact, you can brush up on your plastic surgery skills...a few of us would have a hard time passing for Romulan without help.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: ::Chuckles::

XO_Tarrez says:
::sits down at her desk and looks out the window::

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: I was just wanting to know why were you wanting to go, I figured there was more then just the they will need me answer

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: You're going too?

CSO_Syrna says:
::tilts her head:: OPS: Since you are also going.... I have more reason to now. ::offers him a soft smile::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: ::grins:: Of course.  I couldn’t stay here and miss out on all of the fun?    ::starts to walk out of the room::

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Shall I tell the Captain first? Or... do you wish to?

CMO_Hunter says:
CO:: Alright....let me know what I need to bring along...and how long I have to get ready.

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: I don’t think it matters, that is unless that first ones to sign up get some kind of bonus.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: We'll have another 'meeting' in a few days as soon as I meet with the rest of the staff.  ::heads towards the TL:: Glad you decided to come along, Doc.  :: a bit grimly::  Hopefully we won't need your services.

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Ever the opportunist. That is a handy asset on this mission. ::turns to go to the ready room::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: ::Nods:: I hope so as well.

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks off to find Sykora::

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles, and heads towards the TL, he will meet with the captain in a little bit.::
