Brett:
 Summary: The Delphyne arrives in the Pacifican System and approaches Denali Station.  The large floating Starbase is backlit by the phenomenon known as the Phoenix Nebula; a great red and yellow swirl of color, which looks very much like the mythical bird.

CO_Mash`ev:
 TO: Hailing frequencies.

TO_Ander:
 ::initiates the hailing frequencies:: CO: Done, sir.

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Watches the viewscreen from his engineering station on the bridge, delighted on the splendor of the nebula::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 ::sees Denali on the viewscreen and also looks forward to some time on the station::

CO_Mash`ev:
 COM: Denali: OPS: This is the USS Delphyne on an approach pattern. Please advise.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Ens Kirran> Com: Delphyne: CO: Good to see you Delphyne... Ensign Ringwald will send your FCO the vector for approach.. you have permission to dock at the upper docking ring. Our Captain says she has something for you sir, so if you would please meet with her at your earliest convenience, please.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Ens Ringwald>::hears Kirran and sends the vector for approach to the Delphyne and the Bartok as they are also requesting permission::

CO_Mash`ev:
 COM: Denali: OPS: Good to be here. Our FCO will follow those coordinates precisely and we'll be ready to disembark immediately.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Ens Kirran>*Denali CO*: Captain, the Delphyne is on approach. You wished to be informed upon their arrival.

CO_Mash`ev:
 <FCO_Krash>: :: Follows approach vector precisely. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Ens Kirran>Com: Delphyne: CO: Very good sir. Have a pleasant stay on Denali.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> ::exits her ready room and goes into the OPS center, nodding politely at the people who acknowledge her:: Kirran: I'm going to meet up with the Delphyne... I'll probably bring the Captain back to my ready room.

CO_Mash`ev:
 FCO: Steady as she goes, Ensign Krash. Don't chip the paint this time.

CO_Mash`ev:
 <FCO_Krash>:  ::cringes at the memory::  CO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Ens Kirran> Denali CO: Yes Ma'am.

Brett:
 Action: The Excelsior slides into its docking position smoothly and soon is clamped into place.  The gangway is affixed to the side of the ship, and the signal is given to the ship to secure main engines and transfer to station power.

Brett:
 INFO: Several berths away, the Bartok also comes to rest in its place; the Klingon Terminists having arrived at what they believe to be their Final Destination.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> ::arrives in time to see the Delphyne dock and waits for the second bearded Bolian she's ever seen... briefly takes a moment to wonder about Kinetix::

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Recieves the Denali's signal and transfers systems to station power and begins cycling down the engines::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Sees everything going smoothly, well within Starfleet regulations for docking procedures. ::

CEO_Quinn:
 CO: Sir, the Delphyne is now on station power.

CO_Mash`ev:
 CEO: Thank you, Mr Quinn. Enjoy your time here.

CEO_Quinn:
 CO: I'll try my best. ::Smirks::

TO_Ander:
 ::does a quick check on his department, and smiles with satisfaction at the results::

CO_Mash`ev:
 TO: Verify that the Denali is ready to receive personnel and let's move some people off the Delphyne.

CO_Mash`ev:
 CEO: See that you do. I know how chiefs of engineering tend to work on the engines when everyone else is gone.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 ::is quite ready for shore leave and plans to browse the shops on the prominade::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Leaves the bridge for his Ready Room. ::

TO_Ander:
 ::nods and requests verification::

CEO_Quinn:
 CO: Sir, I'll be taking time off same as everyone. ::Visions of bars and ale, strange figures in the dark corners... Smiles brighter::

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Notices that he was speaking to a closing door::

CO_Mash`ev:
 *Savel*:  Captain Savel, this is Commander Mash'ev of the Delphyne. We're docked and starting to disembark now.

CEO_Quinn:
 :: Finishes dispatching leave orders for his staff ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>*CO*: I have noticed... I am waiting for you outside your gangplank now... I figured we could talk about your charges on the way to my ready room for official business that I must attend to for Starfleet Command.... with regards to you specifically

TO_Ander:
 ::nods at.. the console after verifying they are ready; sends notice to the OPS and lets him figure out who is going::

CO_Mash`ev:
 *Savel*: Very good, I'm on my way.

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Exits Ready Room. ::   FCO: Krash, you have the conn.  ::Smiles as he heads for the TL. ::

CO_Mash`ev:
 <FCO_Krash>:  Self: He is never going to let me live that down....

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Leaves the TL and heads for the gangway. ::

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Wonders when his shift is up, checks the time::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 ::goes to Denali Station::

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Decides that yeah, he's off duty and enters the TL::

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Holds the door, waiting for anyone else for a few seconds::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Nods to a security guard as he approaches the gangway. ::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Walks across the gangway, noting the difference in the 'feel' of the station compared to the ship. ::  Self: I don't know if I'll ever get used to that.

CEO_Quinn:
 TL: Deck 2 ::Shrugs as no one else want to ride with him.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::looks up to see Mash’ev:: Self: Ah there he is. ::moves forward to meet him::

CEO_Quinn:
 @:: Exits TL and heads to his quarters to change into some more civilian attire::

TO_Ander:
 @::wonders what he should do, since he's a bit young to do much aboard the station::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks for Savel, who seems to have recognized him already. Turns and waits for her as she is approaching him. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> CO: Commander Mash’ev, I am Captain Savel. ::smiles at him dispite her plainly Vulcan features... her blue eyes being the main thing that gives her away as only half Vulcan::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::holds her hand out to shake his hand::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel:  Captain, it's a pleasure to meet you.  ::shakes her hand, glad she put a hand out to shake, first, as he wasn't sure what to do since she clearly wasn't pure Vulcan. ::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Are we meeting with Trenar as well?

TO_Ander:
 @::finally leaves the bridge, ordering the TL to the deck with his quarters::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> CO: Commander, let me show you the heart of my station... ::turns to guide him to the lift:: How was your trip out here? Uneventful? ::winks as she figures not... such is the life in Starfleet::

CEO_Quinn:
 @:: Once changed he grabs some of the stashed away latinum, his commbadge and exits his quarters headed to the TL::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> CO: I plan to meet with Trenar separately... I wanted your opinion of him before I did... ::gets to the lift and pushes the button::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Ooh, 'uneventful' is a luxury we rarely have. ::laughs::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::laughs and nods knowingly::

CEO_Quinn:
 @::Enters TL:: TL: Gangway

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::enters the lift and waits on Mash’ev before saying:: TL: Operations.

CEO_Quinn:
 @::Exits TL and heads off the ship via gangway::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Enters lift. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::feels the lift move:: CO: So tell me about Trenar...

TO_Ander:
 @::exits his quarters, and takes the lift to the gangway::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 ::browses the shops and then hears... off key singing... wonders if K'Beth is nearby or if that is that strange past time she used to partake in.... Karaoke::

Brett:
 INFO: The docking area of Denali is busy for a Starfleet station.  Apparently a good amount of merchant traffic also passes through the base.  The Delphyne crew exits the ship and notes an odd assortment of characters passing their gangway.

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Trenar is... most unusual. If I had to sum him up in three words or less, it'd be "an enlightened Klingon".

CEO_Quinn:
 :: Enters into the station careful not to bump into any of the passersby::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::raises a Vulcan eyebrow:: CO: You don't say... anything more you can tell me? Starfleet seems wary of him. Should I be as well?

Brett:
 INFO: Human traders, Starfleet inspectors, a human in long shorts, a loud flowery shirt and carrying a surfboard, ferengi, Orions, a well dressed bi-pedal fox escorting two Dabo girls, Naussicans...

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Thinks "I've got to find the promenade"... starts looking for signs::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: He seemed to be very committed to his cause and to his people. He's a warrior who thinks. How wary should you be? That depends on how you treat him. Treat him with respect and honor and he'll do the same.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::arrives in operations:: CO: Good to know... ::pauses a moment:: This is Operations... there's ensign Kirran... ::points at the redheaded bajoran:: who you spoke with earlier...

CO_Mash`ev:
 Kirran: A pleasure to meet you. ::bows::

Brett:
 <Seka> ::Raises her eyes from the scanners to regard the Bolian for a moment before returning to her duties.

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> CO: Come with me to my office... and we'll discuss some official matters.

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks at the three-tiered OPS center, impressed. ::

TO_Ander:
 ::wonders aimlessly around the station, trying to stick to areas he won't get lost::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> ::doesn't notice the gossip crew begin to whisper... or at least pretends not to notice::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Follows Savel into her office. ::

CEO_Quinn:
 :: Wandering around the station following the signs until he comes to the promenade::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::easily takes the flights of stairs as she does this everyday and walks into her glassy front office with its modern Starfleet decor::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> ::walks behind her desk:: CO: Now I suppose you are wondering what I have for you that Starfleet requested I give you... ::smiles::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Everything I've seen so far is very impressive, Captain Savel.  ::moves around to sit at an available chair::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Well, yes. I was rather curious what they couldn't send me directly?

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::sits down, pleased to see Mash’ev also seating himself at the same time:: CO: This arrived here this morning... ::hands him a PADD::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Accepts the PADD, his brow furrowed in confusion as to why Starfleet didn't send this to him directly? ::  Savel: Thank you.

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Checks the header to make sure it's for him, quickly scans the PADD. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::reaches down for the requisite box:: CO: This is yours also...

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks up for a moment to accept the box but rereads the PADD. ::

CEO_Quinn:
 :: Wanders about the promenade taking in the sights of glittering, gleaming, vibrant signs and the sounds... what's that? The familiar sound of thunderous crashing. Hearing this he follows that sound and finds himself at the Denali bowling lanes::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks up at Savel, his mouth forming words but nothing coming out. ::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Opens the small box and looks inside. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>CO: I suspect this took some time due to the red tape and you know how sector command is... as we are ninth fleet headquarters here... it got here sooner.

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel:  I'm... shocked. This was not what I expected. :: A big grin spreads across his face. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>::is happy for him:: CO: Congratulations Captain... I am sure its well deserved.

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Thank you, captain. I hope I can live up to expectations. ::all smiles, now::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 ::orders some sushi at Mitzharu's::

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Carefully removes the shiny object from the box and simply stares at it for a moment before attaching it to his uniform. ::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> CO: Don't I know that feeling! ::smiles again:: Don't worry... if you've got that now... you've met and exceeded expectations

CEO_Quinn:
 :: Ambles on up to the counter to get himself a lane, replicate a pair of shoes and a ball::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: This calls for a celebration! Unfortunately, I didn't make any plans.. ::laughs::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Perhaps you'd care to join me for dinner?

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>CO: You telepathic? ::winks:: You read my mind... how about I take you to Kamar's? Or do you not like Trill cuisine?

TO_Ander:
 ::finds himself at a neat little café, and notices a rather cute Betazoid sitting at a table::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: That would be wonderful. It's been a while since I've had Trill.  er, cuisine. ::laughs::

Brett:
 <Betazoid Girl> ::Looks up from her Smoothie and smiles at the young Cadet::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel>CO: Great... I'll take you there... shall we?

CEO_Quinn:
 ::Arrives at his assigned lane and promptly presses the button for a waitress to come over::

CO_Mash`ev:
 Savel: Of course!  ::Stands, practically jumps up. ::

TO_Ander:
 ::notices the smile, and turns on his charm; moves over to the girl:: Girl: Mind if I sit here? ::smiles::

CSO_Rhykmal:
 <Captain Savel> ::gets up and proceeds to take Mash’ev to Kamar’s::

Brett:
 <Girl> TO: Sure.  ::Puts down her padd and smiles again::  You're new here aren't you?

CEO_Quinn:
 <Waitress>: Welcome to Denali Lanes, what can I get you?

CEO_Quinn:
 Waitress: Whiskey, rocks and an ale.

CO_Mash`ev:
 :: Walks with Savel, uncertain of where he's going or how he's getting there, his head is still lost in the stars. ::

CEO_Quinn:
 <Waitress>: Sure thing. ::The waitress saunters off to retrieve the request::

TO_Ander:
 Girl: Oh, you could say that. ::leans his elbow onto the table:: Just finished escorting some important people to the station. Interesting trip. ::widens his smile to show his perfect white teeth::

Brett:
 <Girl> ::Giggles::  TO: Really?  Say, I was on my way to a party they're having down in Main Science...wanna come?

TO_Ander:
 Girl: Sure, why not. ::stands and extends his arm for the girl to take:: By the way, the name is Shawn.

Brett:
 <Girl> TO: Lenora, Lenora Quix.  Pleased to meet you.  ::Smiles warmly and takes his arm::
