Host CO_Shras says:
=/\==/\==/\=BEGIN MISSION=/\==/\==/\=
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: THE USS GENEVA HAS LEFT THE ZESTEL STAR SYSTEM HEADING OUT INTO SPACE AT BEST POSSIBLE WARP SPEED..... WARP 3
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: THE SPEED OF THE SHIP IS CURRENTLY RESTRICTED DUE TO THE SEVERE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Host CO_Shras says:
::sitting in the Captain's chair on the Bridge::
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Mr. Mikan, where is the closet Federation base that can handle repairs to the ship?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::just now appearing on the bridge heading over the captain::
EO_Valentine says:
<SIMBA> ::sends out automatic distress call::
XO_Taal says:
::sits in his quarters waiting to be transferred to another ship to take him to Vulcan::
CNS_Bauer says:
::In the Counselor's Office going through files with Mr. Wells::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Checking sir......  That would be Starbase 369 sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Sir, a moment of your time? This is urgent.
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Captain, I am receiving a class 1 distress signal.
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Make best possible speed, calculate our ETA and advise them we are coming
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: It is the SIMBA sir. Mai is in trouble.
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: Make it quick
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks over at the helm:: CO: That is what I needed to talk to you about. Am I to understand Lieutenant Valentine is to be transferred?
CNS_Bauer says:
WELLS: I think I will take a break.  I think I'll take a walk and maybe check on Taal.
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Aye sir. ::calculates a flight plan that intersects the source of the distress call::
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Well, we better go pick her up, hopefully, she's on the way?
FCO_Mikan says:
::grins:: CO: She is now sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
<WELLS> CNS: Very good, Sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Exits and makes way to Taal's quarters::
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: an unfortunate error in communications... seems the "system" they put in recently has run into a few glitches... again.....
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: We will intercept the SIMBA in approximately 3 minutes.
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Haul her in with a tractor beam and get us back on course. I want to get there as soon as possible..... ::gets up and heads for Ready Room::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: What is even more troubling is that nobody in my department or flight control informed me of her departure.
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Yes sir! ::grins::
FCO_Mikan says:
::notifies the shuttle bay to prepare for the SIMBA::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Arrives outside the Commander's quarters and sounds door chime::
XO_Taal says:
::looks up::
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: With things the way they currently are around here, it is no small wonder somebody's wires are getting crossed.... ::antennae seem to almost cross in concert with spoken words::
FCO_Mikan says:
COM: SIMBA: *EO*: This is the USS Geneva. Come in Mai.
XO_Taal says:
DOOR: You may enter.
EO_Valentine says:
<SIMBA> COM: *FCO*: I am sorry, Mai is not able to receive your comm. Shall I take a message?
Host CO_Shras says:
::heads for Ready Room to find incoming message light blinking::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Enters Taal's quarters:: XO: Taal? Hi, I just thought I'd stop in to see how you were doing.
Host CO_Shras says:
::sits at desk and quickly looks at the message, which is to inform him of a reassignment of one of his crew::
FCO_Mikan says:
COM: *SIMBA*: Why is Mai unable to answer the comm?
XO_Taal says:
CNS: Hi Counselor Zach. I am doing ok. How are you?
Host CO_Shras says:
::raises eyebrows when he sees who and what.....   and his antennae bend forward to a strange angle::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::watches the captain head to the ready room and decides to head out to the TL, but first instructs the duty TO to remain at his post on the bridge::
EO_Valentine says:
<SIMBA> COM: *FCO*: There was a life support failure. Mai is currently unconscious.
FCO_Mikan says:
COM: *SIMBA*: Prepare to be tractored into the shuttle bay.
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Very well, thanks.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Shuttle Bay.
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: What have you been doing?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks around Taal's room::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::wonders if this thing can go any faster::
FCO_Mikan says:
*Sickbay*: Prepare for a casualty. Report to the shuttle bay. Lt Valentine may have been injured. Life support aboard the SIMBA has failed.
XO_Taal says:
CNS: Nothing, just looking up Taa... my profile and sitting down waiting to shuttle off to Vulcan.
FCO_Mikan says:
*CO*: Sir, I have found the SIMBA. Mai is aboard and unconscious. I have notified sickbay and will tractor the SIMBA into the shuttle bay.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::starts to lose his nerve and patience and almost pounds the door when it swings open, then he dashes for the shuttle bay::
Host CO_Shras says:
*CNS*: Counselor, report to my Ready Room as soon as you can...
EO_Valentine says:
<SIMBA> COM: *FCO*: Understood.
Host CO_Shras says:
:: wonders if the XO will be up for this news::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Yes, I heard about your trip.  How are you with leaving the Geneva for a while?
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Duty TO> FCO: SIMBA has cleared bay doors, sir.
FCO_Mikan says:
Duty TO: Acknowledged.
XO_Taal says:
CNS: I do not know. However, I will be seeing my mommy. I am excited about that.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gets to the bay entrance and witnesses SIMBA being gently laid to a rest on the bay floor::
FCO_Mikan says:
*CO*: Sir, the SIMBA is aboard and secured. Request permission to leave the bridge.
Host CO_Shras says:
*FCO*: You will have to do what you can for her..... We’re a bit short-handed around here.....
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Yes, that will be nice for you.  I just wanted to stop in and say a proper good bye.  Just in case I don't get the chance to later.  You are one of my favorite people and I will miss you.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::rushes up next to SIMBA and wonders how the darn cockpit opens up:: *SIMBA*: Open the cockpit!
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::hoots loudly and flies out of the cockpit::
XO_Taal says:
CNS: Yes, thanks Counselor Zach. For all you have done for me while I am not myself.
TO_Waltrip says:
::arrives on the bridge late as usual, and not realizing the Captain was not currently on the bridge:: CO: Sir, Ens. Waltrip reporting back for duty.
CNS_Bauer says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir. I'll be right there.
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::lands on a bulkhead and watches the CTO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::scrambles up to the cockpit and finds Mai unconscious:: Self: There's no time for a gurney. *Transporter Room 2*: Medical Emergency. Beam myself, Lieutenant Valentine.... and one owl to sickbay, now!
FCO_Mikan says:
::sets a course for SB 369 at maximum possible speed then is relieved and heads to Sickbay::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Well, I know you will be yourself again soon.  I better go see what the Captain wants, huh?
CTO_Kizlev says:
<TR2 Chief> *CTO*: Sir, did you say an owl?
XO_Taal says:
::nods his head and watches the Counselor exit his quarters::
CTO_Kizlev says:
*TR2*: You heard me crewman. Now!!
CNS_Bauer says:
::Bauer leaves Mr. Taal and makes way to the bridge::
FCO_Mikan says:
*CTO*: Mister Kizlev, what is Mai's status? ::standing impatiently in the turbo lift as it heads to sickbay::
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: THE CTO AND EO ARE TRANSPORTED TO SICKBAY
CTO_Kizlev says:
::materializes in sickbay with Mai...and Kandeldandel, frantically motioning for medics to help::
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::perches on the CTO's shoulder::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Exits Turbo lift on to bridge then sounds chime to the Captain's Ready Room::
Host CO_Shras says:
::begins formulating how he is going to break the news to the crew::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::watches as Dr. Love and the nurses work feverishly to stabilize Mai::
Host CO_Shras says:
*CNS*: Enter
CTO_Kizlev says:
::hardly notices Kandeldandel on his shoulder, too concerned about Mai now::
FCO_Mikan says:
::enters sickbay:: CTO: How is she?
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::hoots happily at Ronik and flies over, landing on his head::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::it dawn on him that he was called just before transport, then spots the FCO:: FCO: I just brought her in. They're working on her now.
Host CO_Shras says:
::waits for the CNS to enter::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Enters RR:: CO: Yes, Sir. You wanted to see me?
FCO_Mikan says:
::takes the owl off his head and gently strokes its head:: CTO: Is there a prognosis yet? ::shifts his weight from foot to foot agitated.::
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: Counselor, have a seat. I've received a message from Starfleet Headquarters and have some important news for you
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks over to the nearest wall and leans against it, folding his arms and curling his antennae back on his head, feeling super angry::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Sits:: For me, Sir?
EO_Valentine says:
<Kandeldandel> ::hoots happily::
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: Apparently, you've been "noticed" and a rather odd offer has been extended to you..... A very unique and challenging offer
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks at Ronik:: FCO: I don't know yet. ::clearly sounding irritated for some reason::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: An offer? ::Gets worried but, intrigued::
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: It seems the Klingon vessel IKS Qlb, which by the way, is apparently in several large pieces on a planet somewhere, and apparently under water, is in need of an Executive Officer, and your name came up
CTO_Kizlev says:
::feels a fist clenching tightly, then smacks the wall with it, kicks a nearby empty biobed and starts pacing back and forth away from where Mai and Ronik are::
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: You seem irritated. I am sure that Mai will be fine.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Jaw drops:: CO: Me? An Executive Officer? I'm just a Counselor. Are you sure you read that right, Sir? Sorry, but.......
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: Zach....positions and opportunities such as these don't come up often. It's very much like me being offered a position in Starfleet, when I could easily continue in the Andorian Imperial Guard
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stops his pacing:: FCO: I most certainly hope so.... ::resumes his pacing some more, his antennae chaotically twitching::
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: as I said, apparently, you've been noticed and you meet whatever criteria they need to get this ship back into operation... much like I need to do with the Geneva
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: Is there something else bothering you sir?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I guess a 21 year old Counselor becoming an Executive Officer doesn't happen to often, huh? Gee, I dunno......I'm not sure I can.......::Looks at Shras:: CO: Holy cow, huh?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stops his pacing again and throws a scornful, narrow eye look at Mikan:: FCO: Yes, I think there is something bothering me. Namely why I was never informed of Lieutenant Valentine's departure, or how she made it off the ship unannounced.
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: well, 21 or 121, this opportunity is yours for the taking...... a challenge for sure.
FCO_Mikan says:
::sighs:: CTO: Now I see. You are not to blame sir. Mai is..... Mai. She can and often does, make decisions using Federation Computers to move from ship to ship. ::laughs:: Mai is Mai. ::shrugs::
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: I have heard that Cmdr. Kalen Mordane is a good man to work for... and you will learn a lot
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks towards the doctor and Mai waiting for some sign::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I guess you don't say no to Starfleet, huh? I will miss the Geneva........ a lot.
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Humph. So I've been told.... ::feeling his anger evaporate into helpless frustration::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Thank you, Sir...it's been a great tour.
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: There will always be a place for you here Zach.....  ::antennae twitch::
EO_Valentine says:
::yawns and stretches::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: I....I....just wish that....::looks and sees the medics have already finished their work and Mai is already conscious::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: How long do I have before I report to the Qlb?
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: Let's just focus our energy on Mai's recovery. Everything else is just not important. ::looks at the CTO:: She grows on you, doesn't she? ::smiles::
Host CO_Shras says:
::extends a blue hand to the young counselor:: CNS: Good luck, may the wind always be at your back... and watch yourself, as I hear some of their crew will surely test your resolve to lead them
CTO_Kizlev says:
::rushes over to Mai:: EO: Lieutenant? Can you hear me? ::mentally answers Ronik with a "yes, she does indeed"::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Shakes the CO's hand:: CO: Thank you, Sir.
FCO_Mikan says:
::moves to Mai::
EO_Valentine says:
::blinks:: CTO: Where is Mai?
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: Considering the shuttles may be faster than the Geneva right now..  You have permission to "borrow" one of ours, and make your best possible speed to their location. I've encoded your orders and other information onto this PADD.... Good luck Zach
CTO_Kizlev says:
EO: Mai is here. On the Geneva. ::smiles, his antennae curling forth towards her::
FCO_Mikan says:
::grins at Mai::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Wow, ::Takes PADD:: CO: I guess I better pack up me and the pooch and hit the road...so to speak, huh?
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: Geneva! Geneva does not need Mai. ::hops to her feet and gallops to the door::
FCO_Mikan says:
EO: I... ::looks at the CTO then back at the EO:: we thought we might lose you.
FCO_Mikan says:
::runs after the EO catching her and scooping her up into his arms:: EO: No need to run from me, Mai.
Host CO_Shras says:
CNS: Say your goodbyes as best as you can...
CTO_Kizlev says:
EO: Please do not go, lieutenant. I need you here, so that we may talk.
EO_Valentine says:
FCO: Big Kitty! ::grins::
Host CO_Shras says:
::watches the Counselor, now the IKS Qlb's new XO, leave ::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Thank you, Sir. I'll drop you a communication from time to time...if you like ::Hopes he would as he heads for the door::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO/EO: So that all three of us can talk. ::sounding very frank now::
EO_Valentine says:
::confused look at the CTO::
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks at the doctor:: MO: Is she okay to leave sickbay and return to duty?
CNS_Bauer says:
::The RR doors open and Bauer looks at the bridge like it's the first time.  He moves over to "his" chair and remembers Captain Eden. Sees the Captain's chair and remembers Captain Tucker and the first day he walked onto the bridge::
FCO_Mikan says:
<MO Love> FCO: She is fine.
Host CO_Shras says:
*ALL*: ::opens a shipwide channel:: Crew of the USS Geneva... your attention. It seems that our good Counselor has seen fit to accept an offer to become the XO on a Klingon warship..... The IKS Qlb, which sadly, is currently at the bottom of a lake on some obscure planet....
FCO_Mikan says:
::sets the EO down:: EO: Mai, we need repairs on the warp drive. Currently we can only go warp 4.5. See what miracle you can come up with. ::grins::
CEO_McDowell says:
::wakes up with a splitting headache in his quarters::
Host CO_Shras says:
*ALL*: He will be working with a team to resurrect that vessel and make it space worthy......  please accord him your best wishes....
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks up as the comm from the captain is given:: Self: *Sigh*, I must be scaring everyone off the ship...
EO_Valentine says:
FCO: Okay, Big Kitty. ::salutes::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Wishes the Captain hadn't done that. Hates good byes. Was hoping to slip out the back door unnoticed::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks at Mai, then at Ronik:: FCO: Sir, we seriously have to talk.
Host CO_Shras says:
*ALL*: Unfortunately, we won't have time to give him that "official" party for his promotion he so richly deserved, but things what they are, do what you can to make him proud
EO_Valentine says:
::confused look at the CTO: Why bring Mai back to the Geneva?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Memories flood the young Counselors mind as he nods to the folks on the bridge as he makes way to the TL doors::
Host CO_Shras says:
*ALL*: That is all ::cuts off the channel and sits wondering how he's going to replace him, especially with the XO of his own ship seemingly off his rocker::
CEO_McDowell says:
::looking around... probably has overslept given the past few days:: Computer, location and status?
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: Very well. We have time while heading to SB 369.
Host CO_Shras says:
::antennae droop forlornly::
CTO_Kizlev says:
EO: You are running a risk, Ms. Valentine, doing what you did.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Watches doors close behind him:: COMPUTER: Deck 5, please.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks confused:: CTO: Huh?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks dead at her eyes:: EO: Why did you make the transfer?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Arrives at his quarters and begins the easy task of packing up his few possessions::
CEO_McDowell says:
::looking around... walks out and enters a TL down the corridor:: Bridge.
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: Geneva didn't need Mai anymore.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head:: EO: Wrong, we do need you. More than you know.
CNS_Bauer says:
GOLIATH: Well we are moving again, boy. It's official. ::Packs his Holodeck programs and his staff from Ian::
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: But, Captain-person and Vulcan yell at Mai all day and Mai didn't do anything wrong. Boss hates Mai.
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Sir, I understand you served with Mai on a previous assignment, is that correct?
CEO_McDowell says:
::enters the Bridge, still kind of disoriented::
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: Yes.
CNS_Bauer says:
GOLIATH: Yeah, I know...you don't gotta give me that look.  I will miss them...and the Geneva...I don't want to go either but, you know if Starfleet says jump.... Dad would have a fit if he heard I turned down an opportunity like this.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::folds his arms, making himself sound stern in his voice:: FCO: Mai could be up to her neck in trouble now that she had done this.
CEO_McDowell says:
::standing in the back of the Bridge, looking around, rubs eyes, overhearing various conversations::
EO_Valentine says:
::tilts her head and pulls out her PADD, tapping on it quickly:: Self: Mai can fix it.
CNS_Bauer says:
GOLIATH:: I should be happy.  ::Packs his clothes and personables. Stuffs Gus into his luggage:: 
Host CO_Shras says:
::continues reviewing the Counselor's orders and starts replying to Captain Mordane::
EO_Vax says:
::works on the core::
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: I am sure that you must realize that she has modified Starfleet records. I served with her as a tactical officer. I tried to find traces of her changes to the computers, but found nothing. Only if we say something will there be a problem.
EO_Vax says:
::tries adjusting the flow::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks around his quarters and office one last time. GOLIATH: We got everything? Yes, I got your supper dish.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks closer to Mai, slowly:: EO: No, that's not the point Mai, you are putting your career and possibly even the captain's now that your transfer activity is known. ::sighs::
EO_Vax says:
::uses various tools on the core and checks for improvements::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: I understand the morality of standing up for your comrades, but this is a difficult and dangerous secret to keep.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks confused:: CTO: Huh? Blue person is confused.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Bauer wipes a tear from his eye as he watches his quarter's doors close on him and his life on the Geneva::
CNS_Bauer says:
::He makes his way to the shuttle bay and in a fog arranges to take one::
Host CO_Shras says:
::opens up the file on EO Valentine..... Where to begin, where to begin::
FCO_Mikan says:
::stares at the CTO:: CTO: There is no secret to keep. If you know something, perhaps we can have that part of your memory erased.
CEO_McDowell says:
::sighs... sees none of the senior staff:: *Engineering*: Engineering, this is McDowell. Status please?
EO_Vax says:
*CEO*: We are running the core at warp 4.5.
CNS_Bauer says:
::As he enters the shuttle and preps it for departure he certainly wishes his family here on the Geneva all the best.
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: One whiff of this to the Inspector General, and..... what? What are you saying? ::narrowing his eyes at Ronik::
CNS_Bauer says:
GENEVA: Take care of them old girl.
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: Mai has saved my life. I will not allow anyone or anything hurt her in any way.
EO_Vax says:
*CEO*: It is starting to overheat.
EO_Vax says:
::increases coolant flow::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Bauer's shuttle clears docking and is soon propelled into the darkness of space.... SELF: ...to boldly go where no one has gone before.....
CEO_McDowell says:
::blinks... shakes head:: *Vax*: Slow to warp 3!!! ::said incredulously... thinking "Why did we even increase speed, much less PAST Warp 4, the stated structural limit???"::
EO_Vax says:
*CEO*: I am not an FCO.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::was not aware of her saving his life:: FCO: I see.... ::curls his antennae back again, focusing himself for trouble:: I can respect your wish. But I do not take kindly to cold-blooded malice on this ship, mister.
EO_Valentine says:
::sits down on the floor and looks up at both of them:: FCO: Big Kitty want a Twinkie?
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: I was not threatening you sir. Just stating a fact.
CEO_McDowell says:
::visibly drops jaw... cuts the channel... looks back around on the bridge:: Helm, slow to Warp 3.
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks at the EO:: EO: No thank you Mai.
EO_Vax says:
::drops engine to warp three::
EO_Valentine says:
::shrugs and eats the Twinkie::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: How long do you intend for this to continue. What happens when a mistake is made? Are you prepared to allow her to fall, and take you with her should it happen?
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: I will do all that is within my power to protect her. ::shrugs::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Or worse, take down others such as your commanding officer over this? Are you!?
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: All that is necessary to protect her.
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: Mai is in trouble? ::looks confused::
FCO_Mikan says:
CTO: Sir, there is no record of Mai changing any records. Only your word.
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Is that so? Your loyalty is to be praised, but there are limits, lieutenant. Especially where the law is concerned.
