::Leaves the station's OPS center and makes her way to the Dublin's party::

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
@::Finishes putting on her dress uniform. She takes her Cadet pips and puts them on perfectly. She then adds her commbadge. She takes a brush and makes sure her hair is perfect. After this she leaves her quarters and heads for the turbo lift. When she enters she orders it to the airlock::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
@::holds on to her husband's arm as they make their way to the airlock:: CO: I'm really excited Mackie aren't you?

Self: Ok now it is time to act happy. ::She thinks about happy thoughts. Then the turbo lift doors open, she steps out and begins walking to where the reception will be held::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::raises her head sharply, 'recognizing' that psionic signature immediately:: ~~~Senator Jak:  Father?!~~~  ::her heart skips a beat wondering how he could possibly be there::

::looks around:: FCO:  There're too many people in here...

Host Adm_S`vat says:
CSO: Good evening Commander.  You with the Dublin?

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::Sighs with relief:: CEO: Sure.. I was beginning to think I would have to go in here alone. ::She smiles and steps in::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::enters the DS 5 and makes his way to deck 17, still resisting the urge to rip his collar to shreds but his claws are out a bit::

Senator_Jakiel says:
~~~ CMO:  Come, child, and we'll discuss about that.  Don't keep me waiting.~~~

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::waves a hand in the general direction of her forehead:: CSO: Be at ease Commander.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
CSO: I'm sorry... I never asked your name.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CIV: Indeed, very nice crowd today.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
FCO: So how is everything ma'am? ::Attempts to make conversation not sure how the FCO will react::

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Leans toward the older El Aurian and whispers:: CSO: Perhaps you can do it formally after the ceremony.

::Looks at the Admiral:: Adm: Aye, I will do that.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: I've received no authorization from operations as yet, but I have a crew assigned, we can start on the next alpha shift.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Tugs slightly on MacLeod's sleeve and pulls him toward the podium::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CIV: Just fine Michelle. ::looks at her face noticing that she seems nervous:: By the way Michelle, I'm sorry about the way I treated you. I had no right to do that. Can you ever forgive me?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::frowns:: CEO: I sent the request to Ensign Clooney, shortly after receiving the position, with instructions to begin as soon as the Captain moves out.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
ALL: Please.. your attention please.

Senator_Jakiel says:
::sees all her tears::  CMO:  Oh, don't worry about my business, child.  ::turns and orders for another drink::  CMO:  I have something more important to discuss right now.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::After the CO and Admiral leave, Xavian makes his way to another person and notices a Cadet::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::follows the Admiral::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:

::Her smile brightens:: FCO: Of course I know.. ::She hears the Admiral and goes to attention::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::moves over to the couch, wondering what he knows::  Senator Jak:  I'm so glad you're here...now I won't have to travel alone.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
ALL: Back when the Gryphon was under my section of space I made it a point to know the crew of my ships... then the Gryphon was reassigned.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::notices the cute CMO is missing::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::leans over to Michelle:: CIV: He looks good up there doesn't he?

Host Adm_S`vat says:
ALL: I've followed your travels... the challenges... the losses.. ::pauses::

Senator_Jakiel says:
::sips:: CMO:  Actually, that's the reason I am in here.  Your commanding officer contacted me to tell me about you, about what you've been through, hoping I could be of some help.

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::Smiles and whispers back:: FCO: You chose a keeper.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::gets serious on hearing 'losses'::

Host Adm_S`vat says:
ALL: I'm no less proud of you now with your new ship than I was when you worked with me.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::wonders where the CMO is, not recalling seeing an request to be clear from this gathering::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::remembers Altsen::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::her eyes widen at this bit of news::  Senator Jak:  Captain MacLeod contacted you?  ::is afraid of her father's reaction if he's found out about her relationship with Sean::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::frowns slightly remembering that terrible time on the Gryphon::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::runs finger through collar again::

Host Adm_S`vat says:
All: Fortunately I was doing a tour of duty in this sector when I discovered the Dublin would dock here and I requested that Starfleet Headquarters let me use this opportunity to touch base with  you.

Senator_Jakiel says:
CMO:  Yes, he did.  Fortunately, I was at Orsan II at the moment and I could come here to speak to you, my daughter.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Reaches for one of the boxes on the podium::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::smiles at the Admiral words::

::notices for the first time, since he became XO that the Captain still only has three pips....strange::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Begins to understand what's about to happen::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::swallows and wipes her cheeks, waiting for his next words.  Looks a little sheepish and asks hesitantly::  Senator Jak:  And what did he tell you, father?

Host Adm_S`vat says:
CO: It is my honor and privilege to promote you to the rank of Captain with all the privileges and authority of the rank.

Host Adm_S`vat says:

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Picks up the other box and begins to open it.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:

::Leans towards the FCO and CIV:: FCO/CIV: Well deserved I hear.

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::Turns to CSO and smiles at him.. not knowing who he is:: CSO: Yes very much so.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  I'm honoured in many forms.  As I told Admiral S'Vat, it is one of them.  The other one is that I have you, my beloved friends, as my crew.  I couldn't wish for nothing else.  I feel my life is complete.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:

::Catches her breath at his name and leans forward eagerly:: Senator Jak:  You talked to Sean?!  ::starts to tear up again::  I hadn't heard anything from him and I... ::chokes on her words::  What did he say?

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Looks up at the CO and stands for a moment:: CO: Thank you Captain.

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::Looks at the CSO and smiles:: CSO: Welcome again Commander. ::She then faces front again::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Adm:  Is there anything you'd like to add, Ma'am?

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Sits back down::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:;turns to the CSO::CSO: Yes indeed, welcome again.

Senator_Jakiel says:
CMO:  O'Mallory really wanted you to come with him to the USS Yeager and assist him on this mission, but I have convinced him to realize that the best for his former ship is that you stay with the Dublin and tend to their needs.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
CO: No Captain... It's time for you and your crew to celebrate.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Nods:: FCO: Thank you sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::wonders if this end soon so that he can get out of this living torture.....he  runs his finger around the collar again, remove yet another layer::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods::  Adm:  Of course you're most than welcome to join us. ::smiles::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Wants to ask the CIV what her studies are but holds his mouth::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: No sir Commander. Cassie will do. ::smiles::

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Moves to stand near CO and whispers low:: CO: I've seen your new orders... make sure the ship is fully provisioned.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Leans forward:: FCO: Calling you by your name since your my senior officer will be against regulations, except off duty… ::Grins:: but if you insist.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::Cries and wipes her tears on her sleeve, but feels happy that he wanted her to join him:: Senator Jak:  He said that?  He really wanted me to come?  ::then remembers something and looks serious:: I had forgotten...he told me to help Mauro as much as I could.  It was some of his last words to me.  I miss him so much father... ::holds her father's hand:

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods:: Adm:  I will, Admiral.  Our shuttle has been replaced and we finally got our torpedoes.  We should be ready for departure within a day.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: Ok on duty, just make it Commander. We wouldn't want to fudge the regulations now would we?

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::She turns to Cassie and smiles:: FCO: Great job.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Leans even closer:: CO: Take as many spare parts as you can get your hands on... and good luck Captain.

Senator_Jakiel says:
CMO:  O'Mallory truly trusts you with them and that he wanted someone who cared for his former crew as much as he did to be there.  ::takes another sip::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
FCO: After 400 years, I have been known to do that.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::looks around and sees the CO and Admiral whisper and heads over towards them::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Adm:  Thank you, Admiral.  It was good to see you again.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:;grins at the CIV and CSO::

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::She hears 400 and looks at the CSO:: CSO: 400?

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Stands erect:: CO: Thank you for the offer.. I'd be glad to toast the new ranks… you're paying right? ::smiles::

Senator_Jakiel says:
::smiles a bit::  CMO:  He also told me he wants to see you when you have a R&R.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::stands and yells:: Adm: He sure is!

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Looks at the CIV:: CIV: I have been around since the 20th century, long before you were thought of, I am an El-Aurian.

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
CSO: Ah that would make sense then. ::Smiles::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Raises an eyebrow as the CSO speaks::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::stands next to his captain::

Senator_Jakiel says:
::sighs::  CMO:  You know the way I feel about you, initiating a relationship with a non-Betazoid...  but I have to admit, this O'Mallory is quite different.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::smiles through her tears::  Senator Jak:  He does?!  ::searches her father's eyes and her smile widens as she hopes R&R will come soon::  Yes, he is very special.  I'm so glad you could meet him.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at the XO::  XO:  Jake...  are you having trouble with this collar?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: It brrrings back nightmarrres Captain, bad night marrres.

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Picks up a drink of Jameson's Irish whiskey:: ALL: A toast...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks down at Michelle:: CIV: Excuse me Michelle I have something to do.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::grabs another strawberry milk::

Senator_Jakiel says:
CMO:  I am forced to say I'm not comfortable with that, child... non-Betazoid and yet a Starfleet Officer...

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::She takes a glass and raises it in the air and watches the FCO leave::

Host Adm_S`vat says:
ALL: To absent comrades. ::lifts glass and then chugs the liquor::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Raises his glass::

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::chuckles::  Senator Jak:  I know.  But he is quite different.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::grabs a glass and pretends to drink::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Raises his glass at the Admirals toast::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::Drinks his milk::

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::takes a sip of her wine:: Self: All of those ranks seem... so far away. ::She looks over at the CSO after the toast:: CSO: So what brings you to the Dublin?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::smiles:: XO:  I think you can loose by now, Commander...  no problem. ::gets a drink and raises his glass::  All:  To the absent!  ::remembers Altsen, Press and many others, then drinks::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Almost spits his drink out at the sight of the XO with Milk on his whiskers::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
CIV: Coming out of a semi retirement and ready to explore the stars again. What is your field of study?

Host Adm_S`vat says:
::Puts the glass down and turns to Captain:: CO: I'll go now Captain.. fair winds and safe harbors. ::shakes MacLeod's hand and departs::

Senator_Jakiel says:
CMO:  He is... plus you clearly show feelings for him, which makes him...  ::takes a couple of seconds to continue::... special to me.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::wandering through the storage bays on DS5 with a PADD in hand mumbling to herself...ticking off items when suddenly realizes that One - she is late and two - she is lost.  Whirls around and looks...and sees cargo boxes as far as she can see::

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
CSO: I have a major in Psychology.. I am training to be the Dublin's Counselor. I also have a second major in Science, and then a minor in Medicine. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::shakes hand and watches as S'Vat leaves, then looks for his wife::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::slips to the back of the room and then looks for the nearest lavatory::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: with your permission, I’ll return to the ship, and begin over seeing readiness for our departure.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
Self: Uh oh.... let's see...I went this way and then that way and then....::looks up and doesn't recognize anything:: Or maybe not...

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Nods with amazement:: CIV: You have been busy at Starfleet, feel free to stop by the science department anytime.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: A CARGO BOX TITTERS THEN SLIPS TO FALL ON ENSIGN CLOONEY; NO SERIOUS INJURY... JUST WHAT YOU'D EXPECT FOR CLOONEY.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:;finds one two doors down and hurries inside:: Self: wheww!

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Are you sure about that?

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::reaches up and hugs her father and kisses him on the cheek::  Senator Jak: Thank you, father.  I know how hard this is for you.  ::smiles at him::  And I will stay with the Dublin and take care of it.  ::then suddenly remembers:: Oh, I need to get to the reception, the new Captain is being sworn in.

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
::Smiles:: CSO: I will be.. you seem much nicer then the last Science Chief.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Yes sir, beside I need to get out of this uniform, before I turn homicidal.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
CIV: What was his problem?

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
CSO: She just chose to point out flaws in whatever I did.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods::  XO:  Go on.  We need to resupply the ship as quick as possible.  Have Clooney on that.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::makes her way back to the room to find her husband::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Aye sir. ::wonders where the Ensign is:: Any idea where the Ensign is?

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
::fingers his collar, glad it be gone shortly::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks around::  XO:  Should be here, but with Mia, we never know.  ::chuckles::

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Aye sir, I think perhaps we should remove her from the upcoming promotion list.

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
::Nods:: CIV: Well, you will see that I encourage a person to learn from their mistakes but not to make them feel lesser than they are. A person should know how to improve. I know I need that from time to time.

CIV_Cdt_Campbell says:
CSO: Yes well the thing was.. I didn't make a mistake the whole time. ::Smiles and looks around::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::hears the Cmdr:: XO: If you like I will locate her?

Senator_Jakiel says:
::hugs her back::  ~~~CMO:  Go child, I have some business to attend now.  I'm also taking the next shuttle back to Orsan II.~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::moves to his side:: CO: Mackie, I think I need to lie down. ::looks pale and drawn all of a sudden::

CSO_LtCmdr_Lomax says:
CIV: I promise to show you anything you want to know, my door will be open.

XO_Cmdr_Jakuharrr says:
CEO: Very well, when you find her tell her to report to the bridge, and draw up a list of parts we need, and make sure she gets them.

CMO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::releases her father and starts to run out the door::  ~~~Senator Jak:  I will be back after the reception.  I'm so glad to see you!~~~

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Let's return to our quarters.  You need some rest.

Senator_Jakiel says:
~~~CMO:  We love you, child.  Don't forget about it. ~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::smiles:: CO: You are the boss.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*Cerdan to Clooney*: Please respond.
