[17:09] <Frank_SM> The USS Europa has recently arrived in the Sol system, and is preparing to enter dry-dock at the Utopia Planetia Fleet yards.

[17:09] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>

[17:10] <XO_Durron> ::standing on the bridge at the MSD checking over the ship::

[17:10] <CMO_Mar> ::settles into her new office in Sickbay, sitting at her new desk::

[17:10] <FCO_Kami> ::at the helm::

[17:11] <CTO_Lingn> ::at Tactical::

[17:11] <CEO_Calma> ::sits on the couch in his quarters, practicing his Vulcan meditation::

[17:11] <CO_Farrel> ::Sits centre chair and watches over the crew.::  FCO: Have we entered the Sol system yet?

[17:12] <CSO_Halsey> ::on the lift:: Self: Damn, why am I always nervous on my first day? I look like a cadet.

[17:12] <CIV_Chitwa> ::enters the Bridge and looks around, nervous about her test::

[17:12] <XO_Durron> ::spots the CIV and smiles encouragingly::

[17:13] <FCO_Kami> CO: Yes, ma'am. We have arrived.

[17:13] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sees Mr. Durron and smiles back, still chewing on her lip nervously::

[17:13] <CSO_Halsey> ::reaches deck 1:: Self: Here we go. ::opens doors and steps into the bridge::

[17:13] <CEO_Calma> ::opens his eyes and stands, moving to the wall and taking down the sword in its display case from its rack::

[17:14] <XO_Durron> ::hears the turbolift open again and glances that way he spots an unfamiliar face, he turns to see who it is, folding his hands behind his back::

[17:14] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Take us in on approach vector for Mars orbit, full impulse.  CTO: Tral, hail Utopia Planetia and request permission to dock.

[17:14] <Frank_SM> Action: A message from the Fleet yards instructs the Europa to pull into dry-dock.

[17:14] <CTO_Lingn> ::Opens Hail to Utopia Planetia::

[17:14] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks over to the Captain, then out at the view screen::

[17:15] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Aye.

[17:15] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye. ::Enters the course and moves the ship at full impulse::

[17:15] <CEO_Calma> ::sets the heavy box down on his desk and replicates a piece of paper and a fountain pen, writing a short note and placing it on the box::

[17:15] <CMO_Mar> ::moves over to the replicator and places an order:: Replicator: Raktajino, extra hot, with two measures of kava

[17:15] <CSO_Halsey> ::walks to the command area, where Cmdr Durron is looking at him:: CO: Sorry to interrupt the docking, Sir. Lt. Cmdr Halsey reporting for duty, sir.

[17:17] <CO_Farrel> ::Breaths easier, the crew seem to be accepting her orders fine after the incident.  Looks up as she senses a new presence.:: CSO: Cmdr. Halsey, welcome aboard. ::stands and extends hand.::

[17:17] <CTO_Lingn> CO: We are ordered to pull into dry dock.

[17:18] <CEO_Calma> ::heads into his cabin and packs a small case with some sentimental items and a few articles of clothing::

[17:18] <XO_Durron> ::nods to the officer::CSO: Welcome aboard, If my memory serves you will be our new chief science officer? Take your station

[17:18] <CSO_Halsey> ::shakes Captain Farrel's hand:: CO: Thank you, sir. ::turns to XO:: XO: Cmdr...a pleasure to meet you...for the second time ::grins and extends hand::

[17:19] <CEO_Calma> ::returns to the main cabin and opens the door:: Computer: Lights. ::leaves the cabin and heads for a nearby turbolift::

[17:19] <CTO_Lingn> ::looks warningly at the CSO grinning at Hali::

[17:19] <CMO_Mar> ::watches as the replicator deposits her mug in a shimmering light and then scoops it up, sipping it with love::

[17:20] <CEO_Calma> TL: Main Engineering.

[17:20] <CO_Farrel> ::Nods to Tral and looks to Kami.::  FCO: Begin approach for docking, take us in ensign.  ::Looks back to Halsey sensing him telepathically.::  CSO: It's good to have you aboard, the Science console has been empty for a while now.  ::Gives a longing look to the empty chair at SCI I and thinks of Marla.::

[17:20] <XO_Durron> ::takes the officer's hand and shakes it briskly than makes a show of trying to remember::CSO: I don't seem to recall.

[17:20] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye. ::Slowly begins to take the Europa towards the dry dock.::

[17:21] <CSO_Halsey> XO: It was during Ens. Chitwa birthday but don't mind, sir, it was only a second. 

[17:21] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Ensign Chitwa, please come here.

[17:22] <CIV_Chitwa> ::gulps and walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Yes Mrrr. Lingn?

[17:22] <CMO_Mar> ::sits back down at her desk, still sipping her scalding Klingon coffee, as she calls up the crew's medical records::

[17:22] <CSO_Halsey> CO: Thank you, sir. XO: I'll take my station, cmdr. ::walks to SCI 1 and enters his codes on the console::

[17:22] <CTO_Lingn> :: reaches underneath his console and pulls out a present::

[17:23] <CEO_Calma> ::emerges from the turbolift and looks for Anne::

[17:23] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Happy Belated Birthday, Chitwa.

[17:23] <CTO_Lingn> ::hands her the present::

[17:24] <XO_Durron> ::quietly returns to the MSD reviewing the list of the crew staying with the ship::

[17:24] <CIV_Chitwa> ::blushes:: CTO: Uhh...thanks.

[17:24] <CEO_Calma> ::finds her in his office and gives her a tight hug in the chair::

[17:24] CIV_Chitwa thinks:  dangit...I have no clue

[17:24] <FCO_Kami> ::Begins to enter the dock.::

[17:24] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: This is from Hali and myself.

[17:25] <CEO_Calma> <Anne> CEO: What's going on?

[17:25] <CIV_Chitwa> CTO:Oh. ::looks over to the Captain and begins to unwrap the present slowly::

[17:26] <FCO_Kami> CO: Ready to begin docking procedures. Permission to proceed.

[17:26] <CO_Farrel> ::Smiles as Chitwa fiddles with the wrapping paper.::  FCO: Permission granted.

[17:26] <CMO_Mar> ::thumbs another template, calling up the rest of the senior staff's records, seeing that they all have overdue annual physicals::

[17:27] <FCO_Kami> CO: Thank you ma'am. ::Begins the procedures of docking the Europa to the dock.::

[17:27] <CEO_Calma> Anne: I have a feeling that I won't be returning from shore leave. Starfleet Medical's never been a big fan of me.

[17:28] <CEO_Calma> Anne: Keep an eye on Chitwa for me while I'm gone, okay?

[17:28] <CMO_Mar> *CO*: Ensign Mar to Captain Farrel

[17:28] <CEO_Calma> <Anne> ::nods and stands, taking his hands in hers:: CEO: I love you.

[17:29] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sniffs at the package:: CTO: Oo....that smells good.

[17:29] <FCO_Kami> ::Keeps his eyes on the sensors and docking procedures as they complete.:: CO: The Europa has successfully docked.

[17:29] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: It was Hali's idea.

[17:29] <CO_Farrel> ::Returns to her seat, and pushes the arm console for the incoming comm.::  *CMO* Farrel here, how is sickbay looking doctor?  ::Nods to Kami.::

[17:29] <CEO_Calma> Anne: I know. ::leans forward and kisses her, then leaves Main Engineering::

[17:30] <CEO_Calma> Computer: Have we docked at Utopia Planetia?

[17:30] <XO_Durron> ::verifies the airlock seal and nods than stands quietly by the MSD as power is handed off to the station::

[17:30] <CMO_Mar> *CO*: Everything's fine down here. I just wanted to bring something to your attention, ma'am.

[17:30] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins at the CO:: CO/CTO: Thank you both.

[17:30] <CEO_Calma> <Computer> Affirmative.

[17:31] <CO_Farrel> ::Smiles.:: CIV: Don't eat it all at once.  Betazoid chocolate is very... stimulating.  ::Giggles and returns to the comm.:: *CMO* Oh, what's that?

[17:31] <CSO_Halsey> ::opens a pinball game in his console but keeps the windows as small as possible so no one can tell::

[17:31] <CEO_Calma> ::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Then bring me aboard.

[17:32] <CTO_Lingn> ::chuckles at Hali's statement, and remembers to get some more for later::

[17:32] <CMO_Mar> *CO*: I was reviewing the senior staff's medical records and it seems that they are all overdue for their annual physicals, including yourself. Permission to begin scheduling appointments, ma'am.

[17:32] <CIV_Chitwa> ::tilts her head, looking confused, then blushes:: CO: Oh. ::wonders if she'll ever have a boyfriend.::

[17:34] <CO_Farrel> ::Thinks to herself just in time for shore leave.:: *CMO* Errr, sounds good.  ::laughs nervously.::

[17:35] <CMO_Mar> *CO*: In that case, since I have your support, I was thinking it'd be a good idea to perhaps have a volunteer to go first. To set an example for the rest, so to speak.

[17:35] <CTO_Lingn> ::walks over to Hali, and whispers:: CO: May I trouble the Captain for a kiss? ::grins::

[17:36] <CEO_Calma> ::watches the turbolift doors open and steps onto Utopia Planetia, looking around... then sees a small cadre of medical and security officers approaching him::

[17:37] <CO_Farrel> *CMO* Ahh... should we wait till after shore leaves done though?  ::Gives Tral a look.::  ~~CTO: You are trouble~~

[17:38] <CEO_Calma> ::closes his eyes and tries to look at this from the most rational angle.. it has to happen, for everyone's sake::

[17:38] <CMO_Mar> *CO*: I think I'd be best to do so while we're still here at dry-dock, just in case there are any complications... but I guess they could wait until shore leave ends.

[17:38] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: But I know that's why you like me. ::grins::~~~

[17:39] <CIV_Chitwa> ::tucks the small package into her pocket and takes a deep breath, trying not to psyche herself out for her test::

[17:39] <XO_Durron> ::verifies something than taps his commbadge::*CEO* Report.

[17:39] <CO_Farrel> XO: Commander, signal all hands dismissed, and that shore leave has commenced!  ::Winks and turns back to the comm.::  *CMO* I'll be the first to volunteer once we're back on duty. ::Is relieved to have bought herself a week.:: 

[17:40] <CEO_Calma> *XO*: With all due respect, sir, you'll want to talk to Lieutenant McLaren. I'm sure Starfleet Medical will explain shortly.

[17:41] <XO_Durron> ::taps his commbadge again,::*Shipwide* Attention all hands, we have docked and shore leave is commenced, proceed in a orderly fashion to the nearest airlock and enjoy your leave.  Report back to your department heads in seven days.

[17:41] <CO_Farrel> ~~CTO: A kiss?  I'll kiss you all day, once we're off-duty.  Where we going to go?~~

[17:41] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Where do you want to go?~~~

[17:41] <XO_Durron> *CEO* Understood, We shall miss you Malta.

 [17:42] <CEO_Calma> *XO*: I'll miss you, Ray. I'll miss everybody. Tell Chitwa I left something for her on the desk.

[17:42] <CMO_Mar> *CO*: I'll keep in touch, ma'am. Sickbay out.

[17:43] <CO_Farrel> ~~CTO: Earth has so many varied delights, it's hard to choose!~~  ::Looks over as she hears the XO and CEO's comm.:: XO: What's wrong?

[17:43] <XO_Durron> ::clenches his jaw for a moment:: *CEO* I will, fly safe lieutenant, Europa out.

[17:44] <XO_Durron> ::turns to the captain.::CO: Stand by, Starfleet medical will be contacting us shortly.  They will explain better.

[17:44] <CEO_Calma> <Dr_Holland> *CO*: Captain Farrel, this is Doctor Erik Holland. I'm taking your Chief Engineer by authorization of Starfleet Medical.

 [17:44] <CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO: Because I can find us a very romantic Vacation spot, but any spot with you, is very delightful to me.~~~

[17:44] <CO_Farrel> ::Frowns.:: *Dr* For what reason?

[17:45] <CMO_Mar> ::notices an incoming message from Starfleet Medical pertaining to Lieutenant Calma and a transfer off-ship due to unspecified medical reasons::

[17:45] <CEO_Calma> <Dr_Holland> *CO*: For continued research. His little science fair project on his own cellular structure seems to have reverted, despite my sincerest efforts. He's a danger to you and your crew and needs to be placed in our custody until further notice.

[17:46] <XO_Durron> ::stands his hands at his sides looking at the captain::

[17:47] <CO_Farrel> *Dr* Lt. Calma has never acted in a way to endanger this ship or crew.  I challenge your accusations.  ::Crosses arms.::

[17:47] <CEO_Calma> <Dr_Holland> *CO*: That isn't a request, Captain. They're my orders... and you might want to ask Commander Durron about the veracity of that statement.

[17:48] <CTO_Lingn> ::scowls at this news::

[17:49] <XO_Durron> ::checks the computer for reference to a doctor Erik Holland finds the appropriate name in the Starfleet database than returns to standing looking at the captain::

[17:49] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks around and blinks, trying to remember where she needed to go for her test::

[17:49] <CO_Farrel> *Dr* I see.  I'll contact SFM myself, since you obviously have no real power. ::Biting tone, then looks over to Durron.:: XO: Oh?

[17:50] <CEO_Calma> <Dr_Holland> *CO*: They'll tell you the same thing, Captain. Holland out.

[17:50] <FCO_Kami> ::Checks over the ship’s sensors one last time, then sits back and closes his eyes.::

[17:50] <CEO_Calma> <Dr_Holland> CEO: Come on.

[17:51] <XO_Durron> ::nodds::CO: Captain, Lieutenant Calma informed me of this while you were still...incapacitated.  Doctor Holland is in Starfleet medical.

[17:51] <CEO_Calma> ::follows the officers toward their docked shuttle for SFM HQ::

[17:52] <CO_Farrel> XO: What about his rights as an individual.  They can't just take him into custody like this... can they?  

[17:52] <CSO_Halsey> ::getting a little bored, is tempted to switch from pinball to strip poker but decides it wouldn't be wise::

[17:52] <CMO_Mar> ::After finishing her coffee, she decides to book passage to Starfleet Medical on Earth, in order to confront SFM on their decision::
 
[17:53] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks over the CSO's shoulder:: CSO: Trrry the solitairrre ::whispers::

[17:54] <CSO_Halsey> ::blushes, looks at Chitwa and then grins:: CIV: Is it any good?

[17:54] <CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: CSO: Yeah. Since I alrrready have the high scorrre on pinball. ::grins::

[17:55] <CTO_Lingn> CO: They can. They did it to me.

[17:55] <XO_Durron> CO: Before he is an individual he is a Starfleet officer, He has a duty to serve Starfleet.  Starfleet is taking care of him so that he can do that.  He is free to resign if he doesn’t want them to take him.  But so long as he is an officer they have the authority.

[17:56] <XO_Durron> ::brings up a memo that details what occurred in the captain's ready room on his PADD and hands it to the CO::

[17:57] <CO_Farrel> ::sighs.::  CTO: And to me as well... ::Starts reading, then after a moment.:: XO: Do you really feel he did this, because he's loosing control?  

[17:57] <CMO_Mar> ::Steps out of her office and down the hall into the Transporter Room::

[17:58] <CMO_Mar> <Chief> CMO: What can I do for you, ma'am?

[17:58] <CSO_Halsey> CIV: We'll see how long that high score stands. I was champion two years in a row at the Academy.

[17:58] <CMO_Mar> Chief: Can you please transport me directly to Starfleet Medical Headquarters?

[17:59] <XO_Durron> CO: From what I saw this wasn't the officer I know.  I don't like it any more than you do, but they have to do it.  It is their duty.

[17:59] <CMO_Mar> <Chief> CMO: Sure thing, ma'am.

[17:59] <CIV_Chitwa> CSO: Have at it.

[18:01] <CMO_Mar> ::Steps onto the transporter pad and nods to the transporter chief:: Chief: Energize when ready.

[18:02] <CMO_Mar> <Chief> ::taps a few controls on his console:: CMO: Energizing...

[18:02] <CSO_Halsey> CIV: Don't challenge me. I have plenty of good friends in the Academy Board, and you have an exam ahead, as far as I know. ::grins to make clear it's a joke::

[18:02] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins:: CSO: If you beat my scorrre then it was an honorrr to have you compete against me.

[18:03] <CMO_Mar> ::swept away in a bright shimmer of light and eventually arrives on Earth outside of the Starfleet Medical building::

[18:03] <CO_Farrel> ::Opens a comm.:: *CEO* Take care Mr. Calma, I'm going to file and official protest with Starfleet Medical about this.  Taking my crew like this...

[18:04] <CEO_Calma> *CO*: Captain, please don't; you won't win. It's better this way.

[18:04] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Hali, We won't win this battle. We are fighting Admiralty here.

[18:06] <CSO_Halsey> ::looks Chitwa's score at the high scores table, it's higher than his own:: CIV: That thing you call high score?? I'd call it low score, I can beat it with my hands tied.

[18:06] <CO_Farrel> *CEO* If it's your wish, but a protest could at least bring attention to your case...

[18:07] <CIV_Chitwa> CSO: Well I am a lot betterrr at hoverrrball.

[18:07] <CEO_Calma> *CO*: Frankly, just about everyone in Medical's research division knows about me.. I really don't want more press, not considering the nature of what I did.

[18:08] <CEO_Calma> *CO*: I'll be in touch.

[18:09] <CO_Farrel> ::Sighs:: *CEO* I hope so...take care ok?

[18:09] <CMO_Mar> ::gathering in her anger and courage, with support from her past lifetimes, she strides into SFM HQ to plea her case on behalf of Lt. Calma::

[18:10] <XO_Durron> ::opens the lift door and motions to the crew remaining on the bridge:: CO/CSO/CTO/FCO/CIV: All right people, everyone enjoy your leave, I will see you in seven days.

[18:10] <CEO_Calma> *CO*: I will. Ná Elbereth veria le, ná elenath dín síla erin rád o chuil lín. ("May Elbereth protect you, may her stars shine on the path of your life.")

[18:11] <CIV_Chitwa> ::rolls her eyes and steps into the TL, wondering where she needs to go for her test::
