[17:06] <Frank_SM> The USS Europa is currently docking at Starbase 384.  They are to pick up a few new crewmen, take on supplies and get the details of their most recent orders.

[17:06] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

[17:06] <CTO_Lingn> ::on the bridge at Tactical::

[17:07] <CNS_Pecic> *CO*: Can we make arrangements to transfer our patients at Starbase?

[17:07] <FCO_Durron> @::sitting in the lounge waiting for the announcement of the Europa's arrival, reading a pilot's magazine::

[17:08] <CNS_Pecic> ::in sickbay with patients ::

[17:08] <CNS_Pecic> *CO*: For evaluation and further rehabilitation?

[17:09] <CO_Farrel> ::Sitting in her command chair, flips the comm. switch.:: *CNS*: Excellent idea.  See to the transfer, and make it quick, I want us to depart Starbase as soon as possible.

[17:10] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Everything is clear on sensors.

[17:11] <EO_Calma> ::walks into Main Engineering with a large-screened PADD, looking for the CEO::

[17:11] <FCO_Durron> @::begins reading an article on the newest evasive maneuvers and finds that the data is about three months out of date but reads the article anyhow::

[17:11] <CO_Farrel> CTO: Acknowledged.

[17:11] <Frank_SM> Action: The Europa pulls up to Starbase 384 and after required clearances, dock's there.

[17:11] <CSO_Enki> ::Turns in her chair to watch the Captain::

[17:12] <CIV_Chitwa> ::decides her collection of engineering tools needs some more members, and trots down the hall to ME::

[17:12] <EO_Calma> ::glances at various officer's collars, trying to find a pair of gold pips::

[17:12] <CNS_Pecic> ::approaches nurse Anita ::

[17:13] <FCO_Durron> @::looks up at the Public Address' announcement of the Europa's arrival and stands up.::

[17:13] <CO_Farrel> DutyOPS: Bring our supplies aboard.

[17:13] <FCO_Durron> @::puts the magazine back in a large black duffle bag::

[17:14] <CIV_Chitwa> ::enters ME and glances around warily::

[17:14] <FCO_Durron> @::picks up the duffle bag and walks towards the docking ring::

[17:14] <EO_Calma> ::puzzles:: Computer: Locate Lt. McGregor.

[17:14] <CNS_Pecic> Nurse: please prepare our guests for transfer to S.B. # 384. I  will accompany them.

 [17:14] <CTO_Lingn> ::can't wait till his spare torpedo casings get aboard::

[17:14] <CNS_Pecic> ::starts transfer with nurse Anita::

[17:15] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Did they say the exact nature of our mission?

[17:15] <CIV_Chitwa> ::waits till no one is looking and dashes for an open tool box::

[17:16] <FCO_Durron> @::arrives at the Docking ring and looks at the arrival board than heads for dock three::

[17:16] <EO_Calma> ::turns around and sees a flash of a familiar tail disappear behind a bulkhead:: Self: Nahhhhh...

[17:16] <CO_Farrel> ::Notices, from the corner of her eye, that Enki is slightly turned to her.::  CTO: All I know is that we are to explore an uncharted region...  Contact SB OPS, see if they can elaborate on our orders.

[17:16] <CSO_Enki> ::Smiles at the Captain and nods::  CO: Sorry, Captain, just not much for a little Science Officer to be doing right now.  Our requisition requests are in order already.

[17:17] <CIV_Chitwa> ::digs through the tool box for something shiny::

[17:17] <CTO_Lingn> ::hits a button:: COMM:SBOPS: Please come in please, this is the Europa.

[17:17] <FCO_Durron> @::pulls a PADD out of a pocket of his duffle bag than heads for the airlock::

[17:17] <CNS_Pecic> ::proceeds thru stardock with nurse and med techs assisting with med beds::

[17:18] <EO_Calma> COM: 384OPS: This is Lieutenant Calma aboard the USS Europa, in the list our OPS officer gave you, could you fill up our deut. tank and the antimatter pods... and clean the windows while you're at it, would ya? ::laughs over the comm. link::

[17:18] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks up as she hears a familiar voice::

[17:19] <FCO_Durron> @::walks up to the duty officer at the airlock and hands him the PADD:: Duty Officer: Commander Durron, Transferred from NCC-50007.  Permission to come aboard?

[17:19] <CNS_Pecic> ::gets to airlock as new FCO  arrives::

[17:19] <CO_Farrel> CSO: I'm eager to get out of port too Commander...  to be back in open space.

[17:19] <CIV_Chitwa> ::slowly peeks over the top of the console and looks in the direction of the voice::

[17:19] <CTO_Lingn> @<DutyOfficer> FCO: Permission Granted.

[17:20] <EO_Calma> ::glances at his PADD:: All: All right, people, we're heading to uncharted space and I'd rather not do it without this bird as good as she can be. We're going to recalibrate the injector manifolds and the plasma conduits before we leave stardock; the diagnostics were within tolerances.. but let's get a little more leeway, shall we?

[17:20] <FCO_Durron> @Duty Officer: Thank you.

[17:20] <CSO_Enki> CO: Oh, certainly I'm eager to be out in unexplored space... just not right now, not with those neighbors, not with the current situations.

[17:20] <CNS_Pecic> CTO: I'm CNS_Pecic Hello.

[17:20] <CIV_Chitwa> ::tilts her head and wonders where she recognizes him from::

[17:20] <FCO_Durron> @::nods and retrieves his orders and enters the USS Europa for the first time::

[17:20] <CTO_Lingn> <SBOPS<@COMM: CTO: This OPS. I am sending you your orders. You should get them now.

 [17:21] <CNS_Pecic> CTO: Sorry we must get these patients to Sickbay.

[17:21] <EO_Calma> ::moves to the pool table in order to oversee the retuning and sees that familiar tail again from behind a bulkhead.. attached to a very unfamiliar Cadet's uniform...::

[17:21] <CO_Farrel> CSO: Oh?

[17:22] <CSO_Enki> ::Looks at the Captain as if maybe she's been missing the latest briefings coming in from Headquarters::

[17:22] <CIV_Chitwa> ::turns around and sees him staring at her. Yelps and darts for an open JT hatch::

[17:23] <CTO_Lingn> CO: I have the orders. They are coming to your PADD now. ::hits button::

[17:23] <EO_Calma> Self: It is..! ::jogs to the hatch and calls in:: CIV: Kechaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa....!

[17:24] <CIV_Chitwa> ::stops:: EO: What did you say?

[17:24] <CO_Farrel> CTO: Thank you.  ::Picks up a PADD resting beside her and begins reading.::

[17:24] <FCO_Durron> ::returns the PADD with his orders to its pouch than retrieves another one and quickly follows the map on it to the nearest turbolift.::

[17:25] <EO_Calma> ::chuckles to himself:: CIV: I thought it was you..! C'mon back, you know I'm not going to bite!

[17:25] <CIV_Chitwa> ::perks her ears:: EO: Who arrre you?

[17:26] <EO_Calma> CIV: It's me... Malta. You remember me, don't you?

[17:26] <CO_Farrel> ::Avoids the CSO's look, not wanting to reveal how bad the situation really is.::

[17:26] <FCO_Durron> ::Enters the Turbolift and presses the button marked bridge::

[17:26] <CIV_Chitwa> ::light bulb goes on:: EO: Tinka-kun!!!! ::runs out of the hatch and hops into his arms::

[17:27] <EO_Calma> ::gives the little Cait a long-overdue bear hug:: CIV: What are you doing here?

[17:27] <FCO_Durron> ::as he waits for the turbolift to arrive at the bridge switches to the orders again::

[17:28] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sighs:: EO: Ummm...

[17:28] <CO_Farrel> <DutyOPS> CO: Supplies aboard captain.

[17:29] <CO_Farrel> ::nods:: *CNS* Farrel to Pecic, are those patients transferred yet?

[17:29] <EO_Calma> CIV: Don't want to talk about it?

[17:29] <FCO_Durron> ::Steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge and glances around::

[17:29] <CIV_Chitwa> EO: It's a long storrry Tinka-kun.

[17:29] <CSO_Enki> ::Shakes her head and turns back to her console... trying to look busy, but really not at all::

[17:30] <CTO_Lingn> ::eyes the CSO and returns back to busy work::

[17:30] <EO_Calma> CIV: All right then, maybe later, Kechara... how come you came down here? You hear I just came on board and felt like paying me a visit?

[17:30] <CNS_Pecic> ::gets patients to SB sickbay with nurse Anita::

[17:31] <CIV_Chitwa> ::shakes her head:: EO: Ummmm, no. ::opens her paw and shows him her pilfered tools::

[17:31] <FCO_Durron> ::walks slowly to a point near the CO's chair, but out of the way::

[17:31] <CNS_Pecic> SB_CMO: Here sir some special people for you to care for.

[17:31] <CNS_Pecic> SB_CMO: take good care of them.

[17:31] <CTO_Lingn> ::watches the new arrival on the bridge:: FCO: Please Identify yourself please.

[17:32] <EO_Calma> ::looks at the tools in her paw, not quite realizing why she has them:: CIV: Ahhh, you wanted to give us a hand down here?

[17:32] <CNS_Pecic> ::turns and leaves with Nurse Anita::

[17:32] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sighs:: EO: Yeah....surrre.....something like that..

[17:32] <FCO_Durron> ::looks at the CTO::CTO: Commander Ray Durron.  Your new pilot.

[17:32] <CO_Farrel> ::Taps the intercom impatiently:: *CNS* Counselor, are the patients transferred yet?

[17:33] <EO_Calma> ::raises his eyebrow briefly, still smiling:: CIV: Well, as long you're here, do you feel like helping me out?

[17:33] <CNS_Pecic> *CO* Yes transfer complete ,returning to ship.

[17:33] <CTO_Lingn> ::nods:: CO: Captain, Our new flyboy has arrived. ::nods his Antenna's in that direction of the FCO::

[17:33] <FCO_Durron> ::smiles crookedly at the CTO:: CTO: If you would like to examine them I have my orders here.

[17:34] <CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: EO: Okay.

[17:34] <EO_Calma> ::smiles:: CIV: Now that's the Kechara I remember.. except it usually wound up being the other way around, eh? ::heads back to the pool table::

[17:34] <CTO_Lingn> FCO: I believe you.

[17:35] <CO_Farrel> ::Smiles at the CNS's message, realizing they are free to depart.  Looks up at the man standing to her side.:: FCO: That won't be necessary. ::Stands and extends a hand.:: 
Cmdr. Durron?

[17:35] <CIV_Chitwa> ::giggles:: EO: I missed you Tinka-kun.

[17:35] <CNS_Pecic> ::arrives onboard Europa with nurse and med techs::

[17:35] <FCO_Durron> ::salutes the CO than takes the Captain's hand:: CO: Captain Farrel. A pleasure to meet you Sir.

[17:36] <EO_Calma> ::smiles:: CIV: I missed you, too, Kechara.. Glad to see you're okay after all this time. So when did you decide to join Starfleet?

[17:36] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Welcome aboard Commander.  ::Her handshake is hard.::  You've arrived just in time.  We're about to depart, feel up to taking her for a spin?

[17:37] <CIV_Chitwa> EO: Ummm... Well......::sniffles:: I have to make my Dad prrroud of me.

[17:38] <FCO_Durron> CO: It would be my pleasure.

[17:39] <CNS_Pecic> *CO* The away medical transfer team has returned. Where would you like me to report?

[17:39] <CO_Farrel> ::Nods.::  FCO: Clear all moorings.  ::Returns to her seat, and plays with the buttons.:: *Shipwide* All hands, prepare for departure.

[17:39] <FCO_Durron> ::drops the PADD with the copy of his orders on it back into his duffel than dumps it under the helm console::

[17:40] <CNS_Pecic> ::heads toward turbolift::

[17:40] <CO_Farrel> *CNS* That will be fine counselor.  If you're not busy, join us on the bridge.

[17:40] <FCO_Durron> ::takes a seat and quickly looks over the controls making mental notes of what is different.::

[17:41] <EO_Calma> ::gets down his haunches to get to Chitwa's level and speaks in soft tones:: 
CIV: Hey.. Kechara.. your Dad is proud of you.

[17:41] <CO_Farrel> ::knew she forgot something, in her eagerness:: CTO: Inform SB OPS we are departing...

[17:41] <CNS_Pecic> *CO* Yes Sir will be there immediately.

[17:41] <CEO_McGregor> CO: Engineering to Bridge' All systems now a go ...

[17:41] <CIV_Chitwa> EO: But I have to make surrre.

[17:41] <CTO_Lingn> ::sends a text message informing them::

[17:42] <FCO_Durron> COMM: SB 384: Star base three eight four this is USS Europa requesting permission to depart.

[17:42] <EO_Calma> ::smiles and stands as the CEO arrives:: CIV: I'm sure you won't disappoint.

[17:42] <CTO_Lingn> FCO: Already informed them.

[17:42] <CO_Farrel> *CEO* Acknowledged engineering.  Prepare for warp-speed...

[17:42] <EO_Calma> CEO: Lieutenant! ::offers his hand::

[17:42] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks over at the CEO:: EO: I betterrr go.

[17:43] <CNS_Pecic> ::steps into turbolift::

[17:43] <FCO_Durron> CTO: Ah. Thank you.  Very good.

[17:43] <CNS_Pecic> Turbo: Bridge please.

[17:43] <EO_Calma> CIV: You sure? You could keep me company now that Mr. McGregor's here..

[17:43] <CEO_McGregor> CO: Aye ....ready captain

[17:43] <CIV_Chitwa> EO: I don't wanna get in trrrouble.

[17:43] <FCO_Durron> ::nodds and initiates docking clamps release procedures::

[17:44] <CO_Farrel> ::looks from the FCO to the CTO and suppresses a giggle.::

[17:44] <EO_Calma> CIV: In all honesty, Kechara, I'm more likely to get in trouble than you are.

[17:44] <CTO_Lingn> ::cocks his head, looking at the CO::

[17:45] <CIV_Chitwa> EO: You've been gone a long time Tinka-kun...you don't know what's happened... ::picks up her tools and stuffs them in her pockets::

[17:45] <EO_Calma> CEO: I didn't see you come in, sir. I'm Lieutenant Calma, your new assistant. I don't believe we've met.

[17:46] <FCO_Durron> ::fires thrusters and eases the ship away from the docking ring::

[17:46] <EO_Calma> CIV: As much as I don't know what's happened to you.. you don't know what's happened to me.. I guess we've both been troublemakers, eh?

[17:46] <CIV_Chitwa> EO: I'll tell you laterrrr. ::hops into the open hatch::

[17:47] <EO_Calma> CIV: All right.. I'm usually in Ten-Forward when I'm not on duty if you want to stop by!

[17:48] <EO_Calma> ::glances at the CEO, wondering what he's done to get the cold shoulder::

[17:48] <CIV_Chitwa> ::waits for a moment, then trots off through the tubes::

[17:48] <FCO_Durron> ::powers up impulse and smiles at the speed of the response than eases the throttle up to one tenth impulse::

[17:49] <CIV_Chitwa> ::hops out into a hallway and jogs to the TL::

[17:49] <CO_Farrel> ::Sighs pleasantly as the ship moves away from dock.::  FCO: Move us clear for warp speed.  ::looks at PADD, and forwards the coordinates to helm.:: Set a course on this heading, taking us around Breen space.

[17:49] <FCO_Durron> ::as the starship clears the station eases the throttle up to one quarter impulse.::

 [17:50] <CTO_Lingn> ::scans::

[17:50] <CIV_Chitwa> ::takes the TL to the bridge...as the car stops at the Bridge, she peeks out at everyone::

[17:50] <FCO_Durron> CO: All moorings cleared successfully.  Moving us out past the marker buoys now.

[17:51] <CIV_Chitwa> ::watches:: Self: Whoa....cool....the Brrridge...

[17:51] <FCO_Durron> ::applies half impulse as the Starbase begins falling behind::

[17:51] <CO_Farrel> ::Watching Durron.::

[17:51] <FCO_Durron> ::throttles up to full impulse than plots a course along the indicated heading::

[17:52] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Set course for warp six.  Engage when clear.

[17:52] <CIV_Chitwa> ::watches everyone, wondering what's going on::

[17:53] <EO_Calma> ::turns to a random member of the Engineering crew:: EO: Is Lt. McGregor always this quiet, or is it just me?

[17:53] <CO_Farrel> ::Senses a familiar presence, and turns in her chair.::  CIV: Hello cadet...

[17:53] <CIV_Chitwa> ::gulps and hides in the TL::

[17:54] <FCO_Durron> ::Looks at the navigational maps quickly and plots a loop around Breen space:: CO: Course laid in.  Marker buoys cleared. Ready to Engage at warp six at your mark.

[17:54] <CO_Farrel> ::Nods:: FCO: Engage.

[17:55] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Welcome to the bridge... 

[17:55] <FCO_Durron> ::smiles at the speed of the ship's responses than depresses the warp button::

[17:55] <CIV_Chitwa> ::peeks out again:: CO: It's okay? ::whispered::

[17:55] <FCO_Durron> ::eases the ship up to warp one, pauses a moment making sure that everything appears to be working than slowly accelerates up to warp six.::

[17:56] <EO_Calma> ::watches the core come to life as the new FCO engages the warp drive and smiles to himself:: Self: And that energy savings you're experiencing.. compliments of Lieutenant, Junior Grade Calma.. ::applies liberal sarcasm:: Yay.

[17:57] <CO_Farrel> ::nods.:: CIV: Why don’t you come out here...?

[17:57] <FCO_Durron> ::looks up at the forward screen enjoying the view than returns to looking at the console::

[17:58] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins and marches out onto the Bridge, notices the XO seat in empty and makes herself comfy:: CO: Soo....what's going on?

[17:58] <CTO_Lingn> ::watches::

[17:58] <EO_Calma> ::bored, picks up his PADD and begins today's duty log:: Self: Might as well get an early start..

[17:59] <FCO_Durron> ::makes changes so as to avoid possible trouble::

[18:00] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Well, right now we're on-route to unexplored space, for a mapping mission.

[18:01] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: Oh....nifty. ::twitches her tail and looks around at everyone on the Bridge::

[18:01] <CNS_Pecic> ::hums Howard Jones "No one ever is to blame"::

[18:02] <FCO_Durron> ::listens to the basically quiet bridge::

[18:02] <CO_Farrel> CIV: How are your studies coming for the entrance exam?

[18:03] <CIV_Chitwa> ::perks her ears:: CO: I alrrready took that.

[18:04] <Frank_SM> Action: After several days at Warp Six, the Europa is finally clear of Breen 
Space.  Luckily, there were no incidents on the way.  That is about to change, the Europa receives and automated distress call from deep in uncharted space.

[18:05] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Receiving distress signal.

[18:05] <EO_Calma> ::leaning against a bulkhead, next to his security escort:: Sec: I think my job is indeed as boring as yours... and I apologize for making you have to put up with this...

[18:05] <CO_Farrel> ::Sitting in her chair, sipping a coffee.::

[18:06] <CO_Farrel> CTO: On screen.

[18:06] <CEO_McGregor> CO: Warp engines responding ......fine sir ....just fine

[18:06] <CO_Farrel> *CEO* Acknowledged.

[18:06] <FCO_Durron> ::sitting at the helm readying a grid mapping pattern::

[18:06] <CTO_Lingn> ::puts onscreen::

[18:07] <EO_Calma> ::slips and almost falls, then moves over to the replicator:: Computer: raktajino.. and in the biggest mug I can get.

[18:07] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Call is text only.

[18:07] <CO_Farrel> ::peeks over her chair at him with curiosity.:: CTO: What does it say?

[18:07] <FCO_Durron> ::puts the mapping pattern on hold and plots an intercept course with the distress call so as to be prepared::

[18:08] <EO_Calma> <Computer> ::beeps and, with a whir, a very large stainless-steel travel mug materializes::

[18:08] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Help.

[18:08] <CNS_Pecic> ::arrives at bridge::

[18:08] <EO_Calma> ::takes the mug:: Self: Well, maybe this will help me get through the rest of the shift..

[18:08] <CIV_Chitwa> ::yawns:: EO: Anything forrr me?

[18:08] <CO_Farrel> CTO : Scan that region... what's there?

[18:08] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Over and over again.

[18:08] <CTO_Lingn> ::Scans::

[18:09] <EO_Calma> ::looks over at the Cait:: CIV: What would you like?

[18:09] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins:: EO: Milk.

[18:09] <EO_Calma> ::smiles:: CIV: All right. Computer: And some milk for my friend here.

[18:10] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Unknown ship. That’s it.

[18:10] <CO_Farrel> FCO: ETA at max warp?

[18:10] <EO_Calma> <Computer> ::beeps again and brings a glass of milk into being::

[18:10] <CNS_Pecic> ::walks over to Comm. console::

[18:11] <FCO_Durron> CO: ETA, at best speed, is twenty eight hours.

[18:11] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Set course, and engage.  CTO: Yellow alert.

[18:11] <FCO_Durron> CO: Aye.

[18:11] <CNS_Pecic> CTO: Permission to use subspace/

[18:11] <CTO_Lingn> ::hits the yellow alert button::

[18:12] <CNS_Pecic> ?

[18:12] <CO_Farrel> ::Sits back and bites her lip, wondering what mystery lies ahead.::

[18:12] <FCO_Durron> ::transfers the plotted course from the reserve computer buffer to the primary control and engages::
