@<Crewman> My_Tran: Ma'am... it's time to go to the hall... is there anything I can get you?

CSO_Shras says:
@SO: In these moments I'd prefer to be an emotion-less Vulcan to a passionate Andorian.....

Host Adm_Bustum says:
#Fraser: True, but he rarely attends these anymore.

My_Tran says:
@Crewman: No... no, I'll be... fine.  ::Follows the crewman's lead to the Hall::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
::leads the way to Deck 15 Assembly::

SO_Elack says:
CSO: I don't blame you, sir..... this incident has not only made me grieve for Commander Tran, it has also reminded me of me Grandmother's death, who had died in a similar way.

CO_Tucker says:
::Turns to My Tran::  My_Tran: It's good to see you Ma'am, though it isn't the best of circumstances.  ::Extends his arm to lead her to the front of the hall::

::Sits in his place, after My is seated::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:

CEO_Galagar says:
::Blinks as more tears run down his face::

ALL: You have all served well on this last mission, and as Starfleet Officers, you all know the risks... you all know what can happen, out there....

:: rubs his eyes ::

CO_Tucker says:
::Looks at Diana's mother and feels a pain, from deep within him::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
ALL: And yet, still, when we lose someone, whether we know them well, or hardly know them at all.... it still becomes so real that we cannot avoid having to deal with it

My_Tran says:
::Keeps lowered a bit, paying only partial attention to the words::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
Lt. Tran: Lt. Tran, on behalf of Starfleet Command, and of the United Federation of Planets, your daughter has brought honor to your family and to the service for her actions above and beyond, the call to duty. Please accept our deepest condolences. I know that words cannot nearly or adequately express what this loss means to you…

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
Tucker: Captain, as Commander Tran's Captain, and immediate superior, I would like to give you the honor of awarding the Commander's mother with her medals...   Please step up here...

:: Hands the Admiral the medals::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
<Adm. Yeoman> Lt. Tran: Ma'am, would you please follow me up to the podium

My_Tran says:

CO_Tucker says:
My_ Tran:  It is also a great honor to present you the UFP Medal of Honor, Starfleet's highest award.  Your daughter most certainly deserved it.  ::Hands it to My::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
Bustum: Admiral, would you say a few words.....

Host Adm_Bustum says:
Fraser: Admiral.. If I may. Thank you.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Is very self conscious... for a moment, knows that he should be thinking about her... but finds his thoughts coming back to him::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
ALL: I had never met Cmdr. Tran personally, but in the light of the sacrifice she made, I feel a personal loss.

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:

:: watches the view screen ::

SO_Elack says:
::Looks suddenly at the view screen::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
THE SHIPS MAINTAIN FORMATION, TILL THEY ARE ALMOST PAST, THEN, ONE OF THE SHIPS BREAKS AWAY FROM THE FORMATION..... AND FLIES ALONE

SO_Elack says:
::whispers to the nearest officer:: What's that?

CEO_Galagar says:
::Looks up at the view screen::

XO_Eden says:
<Lt. Butler> XO_Eden: Why, she's at docking pylon 2, right over there. ::Points::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
ALL: While it is true that Starfleet graduates officers, it is the "person" that truly makes an officer. Cmdr. Tran was just such a person. My condolences to Mrs. Tran and to you her fellow officers.

CMO_Immolisius says:
::Stares at the fighter type spacecraft::

Host Adm_Bustum says:

::Salutes almost robotically::

FCO_Sarlek says:
:: salutes ::

CMO_Immolisius says:
::salutes::

CSO_Shras says:
:: salutes ::

My_Tran says:
::Nods sadly and takes the flag in both her hands::

XO_Eden says:
::Enters the Geneva and finds it virtually deserted, except for a few stray crewmembers who give her odd looks::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
AS THE SHUTTLE-FIGHTER SHIPS COMPLETE THEIR FLIGHT PAST THE STARBASE, TWENTY-ONE BURSTS OF SHORT RANGE PHASER FIRE ARE EMITTED INTO SPACE.

CEO_Galagar says:
<ENS_Flecter> XO: Ma'am.... if you will follow me.

EO_Chapu says:

CMO_Immolisius says:
::Standing Up...  He started walking slowly away...   Followed by the medical staff they go on there way back to the Geneva::

CO: Thank you for everything... but, no... I just wish to be alone for a while...

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
::turns to My Tran:: Lt.: Please accept the condolences of all of the Federation, and of Starfleet, for your loss

SO_Elack says:
::Waits outside of the crowd that is forming by Mrs. Tran::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Stands there... and then walks to My Tran::

CO_Tucker says:
My_Tran: I understand.  If you do need anything, you know how to contact me...

Host Adm_Bustum says:
:: Takes the PADD from the yeoman and signs off on the transcript::

XO_Eden says:
Flecter: Ceremony?  And no, my things should be shipped by SB OPS

SO_Elack says:
::waits for the crowd to clear and walks up to Tran's mother:: Mrs. Tran: I know you don't feel like talking, but I just want you to know that I empathize with you. My Grandmother died in a similar way to your daughter.

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
::turns and walks out of the Assembly Hall and heads back to quarters::

CMO_Immolisius says:
::Walks down the halls back to the Geneva... Trying to leave his memories back in the Assembly area::

<ENS_Flecter> XO: Aye. Well if you will follow me Ma'am I'll lead you to your Quarters.

EO_Chapu says:
Mrs. Tran:  Ma'am, I am sorry for the loss of your daughter.  Though I've worked with her for a very short time, I've gotten very close to her, in a working relationship.  Please accept my sympathy, ma'am.

My_Tran says:
CO: That I do... thank you again Captain.  Perhaps the next time we speak, it will be on better terms.

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
::thinking that he will never get used to losing an officer::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Nods... at the CO's look... and goes back to the view port looking outwards::

XO_Eden says:
Flecter: Actually, I'd like to head to the bridge first, if it's all right?

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
::but wishing that they would not have to repeat this ceremony any more::

EO_Chapu says:
:: follows the CEO and heads off ::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
:: Follows Adm_Fraser.. Feeling so unused to this no matter how many times he's been called upon to do it.

CMO_Immolisius says:
::Returns and Boards the Geneva::

CEO_Galagar says:
<ENS_Flecter> XO: Yes, Ma'am. This way ::Walks toward the entry port::

My_Tran says:
::Returns to her assigned quarters and remembers better times past::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:

CEO_Galagar says:
::Turns:: EO: Yes?

CEO: You mind if I share the star port ?

Host Adm_Bustum says:
Norman: I doubt it, and hope we "Never" get used to it.

CEO_Galagar says:
EO: Sure.. ::Moves over a bit::

EO_Chapu says:
CEO:  Thank you sir. :: moves in a little ::

CSO_Shras says:
@:: stays behind a few moments as everyone leaves the hall ::

CMO_Immolisius says:
@::Enters the Geneva And motions to the others to return to sickbay without him, will be there soon....::

CSO_Shras says:
@:: looks outside the view port at the distant stars ::

CO_Tucker says:
@::Walks over by himself, staring at the stars.  He pulls out a Raktijino mug and whispers:: XO_Tran: Goodbye, Diana.  Godspeed on your next journey.

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
@Bustum: Yet, you know as well as I do, that the minute we send these crews out again, we'll have to do yet another ceremony....

XO_Eden says:
::Follows the Ensign to the bridge::

CEO_Galagar says:
@<ENS_Flecter> ::Enters a TL, and waits for the XO:: <When she enters> Computer: Bridge.

EO_Chapu says:
CEO:  It's amazing that . . . :: wipes his eyes ::  . . . .

Host Adm_Bustum says:
@Fraser: Unfortunately so. :: runs his hands along his own medals and begins thinking.. what if?::

SO_Elack says:
@::is back on the Geneva and almost the second she is on the bridge, she noticed an officer she has never seen before with the pips signifying Commander::

CSO_Shras says:
@:: leaves last the hall and walks slowly to the ship ::

CMO_Immolisius says:
@::Splits from the rest and goes to the TR...   Has the on duty transporter chief lock onto the carving as he places it onto the transporter... and transport it into space::

CO_Tucker says:
@::Slowly walks back to the Geneva::

Host Adm_N_Fraser says:
THE CREW OF THE GENEVA MAKES THEIR WAY BACK TO THE SHIP…

EO_Chapu says:
CEO:  . . . . that Comdr. Tran and her mother look so, so much alike, doesn't it, sir ?

SO_Elack says:
::plans to meet her after she changes out of her dress uniform::

CEO_Galagar says:
EO: Yes, it is amazing.... one moment those we cherish are there, and the next...no sign that they ever existed....

XO_Eden says:
::Looks around the bridge at the skeleton crew... a new ship, a new life::

CEO_Galagar says:
EO: Yes,... they do look alike.

EO_Chapu says:
CEO:  Part of life, I guess

CMO_Immolisius says:
@::Going to sickbay... he could see in his head the carving... floating alone and dead in the cold space::
