CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::In her Ready Room looking over damage reports from around the ship. She feels a bit like a failure since the mission did not go as planned but she knew they did what they could under the circumstances:: Self: I just wish we had more time there.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::On the bridge in the Command Chair.::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Down in one of the auxiliary science labs.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Is sitting as his station on the bridge--everything's a bit of a blur for him, but at least he's able to prepare to communicate with the Koldaji::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::leans against the TL on his way to the bridge:: Self:This isn't going to be fun. ::stands up staitins his uniform and exits to the bridge::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks over to her Replicator and orders a coffee:: *XO*: Commander, could you please report to the Ready Room.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
:: nods at Verradi and then stands in front of the RR Doors, pushing the door chimes::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Without a word, she quietly assists the young ensign to clean up the end of his experiment.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the chime, that was rather fast:: Door: Enter.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::enters and stands at attention:: CO: Ensign Davidson reporting as ordered Captain

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Doesn't entirely acknowledge the nod, but instead gets the communications array ready to contact the Koldaji... all he needs is the Captain::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She takes the cup of coffee and walks over to her desk. She looks over the young man for a moment:: CEO: I just need a report from your department seeing that our orders have been changed.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
SO Daysa:  You can begin again tomorrow.  For now... your shift was over a couple of hours ago.  Get some rest.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Repairs are done as much as we can until we put in for more major repairs. Damage to the Sirius and the shuttle bay should be done with in the hour

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: As the two of them head out, she turns off the lights, holding back her own yawn.  It was past her bed time too.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Steps into the turbolift::  Computer, deck 2.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Once we reach ES 217 I expect their crews to begin repairs. You may coordinate with their department head in conducting them if you wish.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::While he waits, he decides to peruse the various orders that he's received--and voila! Well lookee here! It appears that he's no longer supposed to contact the Koldaji after all. How lovely.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Permission to speak freely ma'am?

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off and heads for her quarters.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
OPS: Lt, you have the bridge.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She takes a sip of her coffee and motions "yes" to the CEO::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Shudders:: XO: Acknowledged...

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:I don't trust the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. They always change things back to standard.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Entering her quarters, she is reminded she missed dinner.  With a shake of her head, she decides to hit the shower, breakfast would be coming soon enough as it was.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Wonders if that means he has to sit in the... chair.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Nods to the OPS officer as she exits the console at the chair and heads for the RR and rings the Chime.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria  (Chimes.wav)

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Stays put for a good few seconds, then cautiously begins to stand up... and then he hurriedly sits back down. What does he do, oh what does he do?::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: That is their duty, Ensign. You may speak with their head with your preference on the repairs. You may tell this individual that I do not wish for our enhancements to be changed. ::She looks towards the door:: Door: One moment, Commander. ::Guessing a bit::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Aye Ma'am

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Raises her eyebrows at the CO's wait comment, after all she paged her.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: If there is nothing else, you are dismissed. ::She puts her cup down:: Door: Enter.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Tossing her uniform into the cleaning bin, she steps into the shower.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Enters the RR.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Captain, you called for me. ::Sees the CEO.:: CEO: Ensign. ::nods to him.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you captain ::turns around and nearly bumps into the commander:: XO:Sorry.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Gets quite nervous. Somehow he manages to stand up again and add a turning motion as well. But then he freezes. As he stands there, suddenly his arm juts out and a finger points at an unsuspecting officer:: Officer: Ensign... ::Realizes that he doesn't know this fellow's name off the top of his head:: ...You! You have command of the bridge. 

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
XO: I did. ::She motions to the chair in front of her desk:: XO: Please take a seat.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Steps out of the way of the young Ensign who appears rather nervous.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Hurriedly sits back down and hunches over, trying to look for all the world like he's doing something important::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Sits in the chair indicated by the Captain.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::walks back up to the lift and enters::TL:Engineering

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: With a huge yawn, she steps out of the sonic shower, feeling relaxed... way to relaxed.  Makes her way to the bed and climbs in with the final order for the computer to turn out the lights.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
XO: How do you feel our last mission went? ::She picks up her cup and takes another sip::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<Ensign>::Looks at OPS:: OPS: Umm.. sir. I believe I am not..qualified.

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ COM: Hayden: This is ES217...  USS Hayden you are entering our outer marker

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CSO*:I know it's late...but...can I talk to you?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Not as expected Captain.  However as my entrance into the mission came when it did, I cannot fully comment.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
Ensign: Err... ::Doesn't turn around:: you're very qualified! I just need you to watch the bridge while I'm here... I'm busy.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
::Pries open one eye.:: *CEO*:  Only if you are planning to meet me in my dream.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
::Sighs::  *CEO*:  What's up Jay?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods:: XO: I called you here, to formally welcome you to the Hayden. I believe a formality is needed between the Command Staff. I have read your file and am rather impressed. A fellow Doctor, a very promising profession.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<Ensign>OPS: Umm.. but sir! ::He looks around very nervously:: OPS: Is that a... a hail?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::smiles and lets a little out a chuckle::*CSO*:Nothing really...just wanted to see a friendly face.

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ COM: Hayden: Hayden are you receiving?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Starts as he's brought to realize what that incessant beeping is:: Ensign: Ah yes! I'll let you... command now. I'll take the hail. ::Receives the hail:: COM: ES217: Err... this is the USS Hayden. We read you.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Captain Medicine has been quite fulfilling.  However, Command knew I was not able to continue in that capacity in full so offered this opportunity based on my experience.  ::Motions to her arm that is slowly healing yet still in a sling.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<Ensign>OPS: But... sir you are the... the Senior Staff member. ::He turns back to his aux console::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Closes her eye, the room darker then her eyelid.::  CEO: How about breakfast com diner for you before you call it a night and I go on shift?

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ COM: Hayden: Hayden looks a little mangled around the main mast.... you folks ok?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
XO: Due to your arm you cannot fulfill your duties in full once it is healed? ::Looks at her arm, she does not need to have a crippled First Officer::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
Ensign: I gave you an order, Ensign!

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Clears his throat:: COM: ES217: Ah, yes. We have been having a good bit of fun. A long story... we would like repairs, if it would be possible.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<Ensign>OPS: Well.. then I give you command back! ::He rushes off of the Bridge::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CSO*:That would be great...shall we say...1800 hours Holodeck 2?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO:  The full abilities of a surgeon Captain.  ::Clarifies.::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Holodeck?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Shakes his fist after the departing ensign:: Ensign: Coward!

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Points at the next ensign he sees:: Ensign 2: You! You have the bridge!

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CSO*:You'll see.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods:: XO: Understood. Thus far you have been doing well. ::She stands:: XO: We should report back to the Bridge. We should be nearing ES 217 soon.

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ COM: Hayden: OPS: Hayden we are always glad to oblige..... but we don't have you as on our arrival list. Why didn't you signal in advance?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CSO*:Trust me sin...You'll remember it.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Alright...  :: Lets training quickly take her into sleep, the time would come too fast.::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Stands.:: CO: Aye

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks out of her Ready Room onto the Bridge::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
COM: ES217: Oh... there was a minor misunderstanding as to our orders. I assure you it will not happen again.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Follows the CO.::

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ COM: Hayden: OPS: Orders? We don't have any orders to expect you.... you were ordered here?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks over to her chair, noticing an Ensign in it:: Ensign: Ensign? ::She looks towards Verradi:: OPS: Report, Lieutenant.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Looks at OPS questioningly.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::smiles as he steps off the turbo lift and looks at the patch work and just shakes his head::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Feels quite relieved as the command staff returns to the bridge, but then ES217's comms start to confuse him:: COM: ES217: We were ordered to return by Vice-Admiral Crenshaw...

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<Ensign_Dickinson>CO: Lieutenant Verradi ordered me to take command sir... he did the same to another officer who just left. ::He quickly gets up and moves to his station::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
CO/XO: Apparently we weren't on the guest list, sir... ::Pretends that Ensign Dickinson doesn't exist. Curse that Ensign Dickinson::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Makes a note to formally speak with the OPS officer regarding his passing of command.::

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ ::frowns and looks to his OPS officer:: COM: Hayden: OPS: Can you confirm that... we never received from Starfleet to expect you?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards OPS:: OPS: Place the comm through the speakers, Lieutenant. ::She decides to add:: OPS: We will speak later, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Raises his eyebrows and transmits a copy of the orders to ES217:: COM: ES217: Transmitting a copy of the orders now, 217.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::looks at the engine status screen::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Puts the comm on speakers and winces at the CO's last statement::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She takes a seat in her chair and listens to the comm as OPS transmits their orders::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Checks the orders on his own end to make sure they're all right and finds that... they aren't:: COM: ES217: Hmm... apparently you weren't unwarranted in your assessment, 217. Somehow these orders appear to be unconfirmed.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Sits in her chair disturbed by the OPS' failure to follow the command order.::

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ ::frowns and looks to his OPS officer:: COM: Hayden: OPS: Hayden.... I think you folks better dock until we can fix you up and clear this up with HQ

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: OPS: How did they get to us unconfirmed, Lieutenant?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
COM: ES217: Acknowledged 217, proceeding to dock. ::Prepares docking preparations, feeling extremely embarrassed--so much so in fact that it seems too much for him to comprehend just yet:: CO: I am uncertain, Captain.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: I would like you to investigate into those orders, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Raises his eyebrows as he examines the orders:: CO: It appears that our orders were taken from a few different communiqués--certainly at least three, possibly more.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Looks to the CO.:: CO: Captain do you think these could have been ploys to distract us?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: How did that occur, Lieutenant? ::She nods to her XO:: XO: That was my inference as well.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Rolls over and curls up as she goes deeper into sleep.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Shrugs his shoulders and shakes head:: CO: I assume that someone must have intercepted multiple communiqués and pieced them together to make an official-looking set of orders.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::heads into his office and stands at the replicator::Computer:Replicate two garments appropriate for snowy weather. I'll take one here and send one to Lieutenant So'tsoh quarters.

Host Commander_Woods says:
@ COM: Hayden: OPS: Hayden.... come in to docking port F.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Perhaps Captain docking here for the Hayden to make repairs and dispatching an essential team in a long range shuttle?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods and makes the arrangements to go to port F:: COM: ES217: Acknowledged, 217. Coming in for docking.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Understood, Lieutenant. Compile a report and send it to Starfleet Command so they are aware. ::She nods:: XO: In order to keep us off of their trail. However, I would like to speak to our Sector Commander before we depart. I doubt we could do any good in our present condition.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes ma'am. ::For now, of course, he must help this ship dock, and so he reroutes helm function to his console and navigates the Hayden to docking port F::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She watches OPS carefully as begins to move the Hayden into their docking port::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::leaves his office and heads back to the bridge::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Can't do it as gracefully as helm officers, but he uses thrusters well enough to dock safely with ES217::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Nods.:: CO: I will prepare to have a shuttle on stand-by with staff and equipment.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
XO: I do not believe that is necessary, Commander. ::She pauses:: XO: I would like you to coordinate with Engineering on our repairs and if you would like, you may prepare the shuttle 'just in case'.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Aye Captain, Stand-by.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Once things seem to be safely out of the helm's hands, he gets right on the compiling the report, trying hard not to think about how badly he gaffed::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::arrives back on the bridge and sits down at the Engineering station::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods to the XO:: OPS: Inform the crew that we have reached ES 217. I will contact the station and attempt to gather information from our superiors.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Walks over to the CEO and sits next to him at an empty station.::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Slipping into rem sleep, she meets up with her spirit guide deep in a cool mountain forest.::  Wolf:  Come... I desire to go wading.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CEO: Ensign, how long do you estimate repairs to take?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods and opens a shipwide transmission:: *ALL*: Attention all hands, we are now docked at Experimental Starbase 217.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Closes the transmission and turns back cautiously to the CO after investigating new beeping at his console:: CO: Transmission incoming from Vice Admiral Silek for your eyes only, ma'am.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: She slips into her native tongue as the two of them head for the stream.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She stands from her chair:: OPS: Transfer it to my Ready Room, Lieutenant. ::She walks towards her Ready Room:: XO: You have the Bridge, Commander. ::She enters her Ready Room and heads for her desk::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Aye. ::Nods to the CO.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Transfers the communiqué to the ready room, hoping very strongly that the XO doesn't leave -again-::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:Unkown

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She takes a seat and looks towards her small computer. She looks towards the screen as the comm is transferred::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: The quiet of the forest and the song of the water bring to her the illusion of peace, which she willingly excepts.::

Host VAdm_Silek says:
@ COM: Hayden: CO: Captain. ::nods::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sits there at his console now, with nothing to do but compile his report in order to stave off thoughts of his embarrassment::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Silek: Admiral. ::She inclines her head slightly:: COM: Silek: It seems that we have a small problem due to our 'fake' orders.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:Since they didn't know that we were coming...

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CEO: Can you give a report of what needs to be done while here?

Host VAdm_Silek says:
@ COM: Hayden: CO: So it seems.... I shall have my staff begin a full investigation I expect full cooperation.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Silek: Understood, Admiral. I would like to request having another vessel dispatched to the location where the delegations were to take place. It seems that the Koldaji did not wish for these peace-talks to go on.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:Yes I can give them a report...But I don't think they will like it when I show it to them.

Host VAdm_Silek says:
@ ::nods:: COM: Hayden: CO: I have also read your report on the events in the Jolor system. I shall take your recommendation under advisement.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CEO: Ensign Davidson, Please tell me how long you estimate repairs will take if they were given top priority status double shifts.

Host VAdm_Silek says:
@ COM: Hayden: CO: Your priority is to get your vessel operation as soon as possible. Shore Leave is not authorized at this time. Silek Out.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:In my opinion ma'am?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Silek: Understood, Admiral. ::She watches his face disappear::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CEO: Your expert opinion Mr. Davidson.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:Well sir...in my expert opinion I would say about...::looks at some displays::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Finishes that report of his and sends it off as ordered. ...Now what does he do?::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She gets up from her desk and walks towards her Ready Room exit::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:37 hours...28 if we fix the rest underway, while we are on the move. But I highly reccomend we take the advantage of the 37 hours here at the station.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She exits her Ready Room onto the Bridge:: XO: It seems that we are to remain here for the time being.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Unfortunately, now with nothing to occupy his mind, he can concentrate on what a horrible officer he is::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CEO: How long to prepare a shuttle for ASAP departure with equipment and necessary supplies.?

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: The sound of a twig breaking has her turning quickly in that direction, a frown touching her smooth brow.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
XO:I could prep a shuttle in under 30 minuets...what kind of supplies?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ETA for ship repairs is 28 hours minimum 37 maximum.  We can have a shuttle ready to go within the hour.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: XO: I doubt we will be using it, Commander. ::She sighs a bit and walks to her chair::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CEO: Let's get on those repairs Davidson.
