SO_Hansen says:
::listens quietly::
Randi says:
::a shiver passes through Randi::

::stands beside Kragon, listening to Richmond::
Dvari says:
::feels Randi shiver:: Randi: I know, dear....
EO_Woo says:
::starts to shift uncomfortably::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::thinks, and the symbionts, why ever  they are so important::
Host Traben says:
<Raina>  ::holds onto her husband’s hand tightly::
Host XO_Richmond says:
All:  I know that we all have our own personal and individual thoughts about Captain McDonald.  To me, she was a friend as well as a commanding officer.  She was also a fine counsel, who took an interest in her crew, whatever their circumstances.
Dvari says:
::tries to steady Randi::

::stands there next to Patrick with tears falling::

Dvari says:
::glances over at Todd and tries to smile::
Host Traben says:

EO_Woo says:
::walks up to console::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::presses button to launch torpedo salute.::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::walks back over to Patrick with Caleb in her arms::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::a single tear escapes his cold exterior, and burns its way down his cheek::

CO McDonald: May you find peace, however you imagine it.

::steals glances at Traben and Kragon, and then looks back to his wife::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
::uneasily steps up::
Randi says:
Dvari:  You will never know...::turns and faces Dvari::  She... didn't... say goodbye!
CMO_McDonald says:
::leans over to Kragon:: I'm going to come down for the burial, if that’s okay?
OPS-O`Riley says:
::looks down at Caleb, who will never know his mother, except for what he is told::
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::looks at her husband with tear filled eyes::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: I want you to take a moment and remember the first time you met Captain Kayta McDonald.
OPS-O`Riley says:
Caleb: Well, lad, I be knowin all about that, since I not be havin my mother around either.
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> CMO:  Lennier, that is more then ok.  You will be always welcomed.
Dalmar_Lio says:
Raina: <w> Are you okay?
Dvari says:
Randi: She will always be with us, here....::points to Randi's heart::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::starts to remember, but then decides that isn't a good one to remember and moves to a time in the Holodeck instead.::
CMO_McDonald says:
::slowly makes his way to Richmond:: XO: Permission to go down for the burial?
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::remembers reporting to the Captain when she first came on the Huron::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: The first time I met Kayta I was First Officer of the USS Comanche - She was as fresh out of the academy as they come, and during the first few months I knew her, we had a few "interesting" times together, that's for sure.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::remembers the meeting in the Ready Room before heading off for Officer Cadet School::
Host Traben says:
<Raina> Dalmar: I just lost my baby, I don't know if I'll be ever alright.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::shakes his head just a little, in order for Lennier to know the ceremony isn't finished yet::
CMO_McDonald says:
::nods, but is somewhat infuriated that Richmond won’t authorize the request then and there::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::struggles to keep up appearances:: Raina: <voice breaking> I know.
Randi says:
Dvari:  Any chance they will let me go down to the planet?  I would like to be there...
Dvari says:
::wonders if the new Captain will let her stay on board::
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::holds onto Dalmar harder::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: But I soon found out that Kayta was more than an officer, She was someone who could be counted on. After I left the Comanche, Kayta went on to become Second Officer, and was a good one at that. When they appointed myself Sector Commander, and when the Huron needed a new Captain, it took me all of half a second to figure out who would fill that gap.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
CMO: Lieutenant Lennier McDonald, please step forward.
Dvari says:
Randi: I don't know, why don't you go and ask Commander Richmond?
CMO_McDonald says:
::looks shocked but steps forward::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::watches McDonald::
Randi says:
::looking at Dvari, she shakes her head to say no::  Dvari:  He doesn't like me, so it is useless to ask.
Host Traben says:
::watches as Lennier steps forward wondering what is going on.::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
CMO: Lieutenant Lennier McDonald, on behalf of Starfleet, I would like to present to you, on your wife’s behalf, the Silver Star, as well as the Starfleet Distinguished Service Medal as well as the Purple Heart. ::hands him a framed case::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::cradles Caleb::
Dvari says:
Randi: Of course he likes you. I'll go along with you if you like.
CMO_McDonald says:
::slightly shocked:: Captain: Thank you, sir....
CTO_Ayidee says:
::salutes the Captain's memory as the medals are presented.::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::watches on starting to loose composure::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
CMO: These are the last medals that your wife has earned.
CMO_McDonald says:
Captain: Yes, I know, sir.. ::lets another tear roll down his face::
Host Traben says:
<Raina>  ::breaks down::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
::salutes the casket, and then turns to salute McDonald::

::grips Patrick's arm reassuringly::

::salutes McDonald::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
ACTION: the Honor Guardsmen begin to fold the Federation flag

Host Captain_Skyler says:
Honor Guard: Attention!
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::gingerly touches the flag::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
::nods at Ayidee::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::settles Caleb on her shoulder and he quiets::
EO_Woo says:
::face slightly flushed::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::swallows hard as more tears begin to flow::
Randi says:
::is unaware of the people around her, reliving the scene in sickbay::
SO_Hansen says:
::looks down slightly, still feeling guilty::
Dvari says:
::looks over at Caleb and smiles::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::nods to the Honor Guard to carry the Captain aboard the shuttle and picks up one end::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: Under the Command Code of the Federation Starfleet, the ship’s bell sounds when the ship returns to port. We will now sound the bell once to welcome home Captain Kayta Prin-McDonald
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::feels first tear starting to fall::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::bows head, thinking back over all that the Captain did for all of them::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
::nods at the McDonald::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::motions for the team to stop where they are while the Bell Rings.::

ALL: I know we never actually got to know each other that well in the time I was Kayta's husband, but I have all that I need to remember Kayta by. ::points to Caleb with Shannon:: So I would like to give these medals to you in honor of Kayta.
Dalmar_Lio says:
::looks at Lennier, trying to keep a stiff upper lip::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::feels Shannon and breaks down, letting the tears come::
Host Traben says:
<Raina>::begins shaking::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::reaches out to take the medals::
CMO_McDonald says:

Host XO_Richmond says:
::nods to McDonald::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: We now commit the body of Captain Kayta Prin-McDonald to her home soil on the Planet of Trill.
Randi says:
::lets out a scream of anguish that echoes through the shuttle bay::
CMO_McDonald says:
Shannon: Take care of Caleb while I'm down on Trill?
CMO_McDonald says:
::turns and looks at Randi::
SFI_Berlin says:

Randi says:
::waiting for the shuttle to leave as she has a mission::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
Crew: I will need to speak to all of you in the Observation Lounge in 10 minutes. I know this is a bit harsh, but there is work to be done.
CMO_McDonald says:
Kragon: How am I holding up? Barely. I know Caleb can sense it.

Host Traben says:
<Kragon> CMO: I know, Caleb is going to be fine though.  He has a lot of people looking out for him.  We are his family, he will be just fine.  I think Mother and Father want to speak to you about visiting rights.  But that can wait for a few.
CMO_McDonald says:
*XO* Tell the new captain I'll return when everything’s finished on Trill.
CTO_Ayidee says:
Randi: I know this is difficult.  Just remember, the Captain died defending the Symbionts, and she succeeded in her mission.  Small consolation, but it is something at least.
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  Yes, sir. ::follows Skyler, ready for battle::
Host XO_Richmond says:
*CMO* Acknowleged.

<Raina> ::cries into Dalmar's shoulder::

::exits the area slowly, and heads towards his quarters to freshen up before the briefing::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::follows Skyler, and closes the Ready Room door behind him::
Randi says:

OPS_O`Riley says:
CEO: I be knowin that, Patrick. Will ya be okay?

XO: Thank you, sir.  ::walks to console and launches a torpedo volley to form a star pattern around shuttle, minimum yields.::
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> CMO:  I'm glad to hear that.  That little boy is important to us.  He is the best thing we have of Kayta.
Dalmar_Lio says:
CMO: We are your family now Lennier, you are as much my son as Kayta was my Daughter
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:

Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  Well, I hope you're happy.  ::folds his arms::
CMO_McDonald says:

Skyler:  The send off was perfect.  Kayta would have been proud.
CTO_Ayidee says:
::watches Spacedoors close, then heads to change for meeting.::
Randi says:
::walks into sickbay and looks around::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::looks down and realizes she probably needs to change into a regular uniform first::
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> ::sits back and lets his father and Lennier talk::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: Todd, what's really on your mind?
Dvari says:
::stands in the empty shuttlebay and stares out at the shuttle as it slowly vanishes:: Self: Good bye, Kayta....rest in eternal peace.
SFI_Berlin says:
::exits the Turbolift and heads into the Observation Lounge........getting some coffee first::

Nurse:  Where is Prin being held?
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  None of this had to happen, Captain.  And you know that.  You should have let me down to sickbay.
OPS_O`Riley says:

Dvari says:
::makes her way back to her quarters::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::enters quarters, heading for his bedroom, and starts changing into regular uniform::
SO_Hansen says:
::walks into her quarters to change out of her dress uniform::
Randi says:
<Nurse> Randi:  Over there, in a sterile field.
CTO_Ayidee says:
::changes, wondering why he feels as he does.  Heads for bridge when ready::
Randi says:
::sees where the nurse is pointing and walks over to look at it::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: With the Captain down, your place was on the Bridge of your ship. The watch was handed to you by the Captain, and you should have stood your post until relieved.
CMO_McDonald says:
Kragon: You wanted to say something?
OPS_O`Riley says:
::splashes some water on her face to try and decrease some of the redness and swelling around her eyes::
Dalmar_Lio says:
CMO: I know I speak for all of us. ::glances at Kragon and Traben:: If there is ever anything we can do, just ask ::voice cracks::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::gets on the Turbolift:: TL Observation lounge.
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> ::silently shakes his head at Lennier::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::finishes changing:: OPS: Shannon, ya be ready, lass?
Randi says:
::Randi is standing there staring at Prin, wondering if it feels any remorse at all::
Dvari says:
::enters her joint quarters with the XO and goes to check on CJ::
EO_Woo says:
::exits quarters after changing, and heads towards the Turbolift::
SO_Hansen says:
::changes into her normal uniform and heads to the Turbolift::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::stops and looks over at Patrick:: CEO: I be missin her so much. ::sighs:: Aye, I be ready.
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  That's not the point.  My duty is to protect the Captain at all costs.  That includes my command of this vessel.  I still don't believe that you never even gave me the chance to try and save her.  You may have forgotten that, underneath this red tunic, I'm still one of the foremost physicians in Starfleet.
CMO_McDonald says:
Dalmar: I know. It is greatly appreciated. I'm going to keep Caleb with me for now, but he needs a stable place to live.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: We all do, Shannon.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
ACTION: Randi senses lonliness, pain and regret from Prin
OPS_O`Riley says:
::heads for the door::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::heads for the door::
EO_Woo says:
::enters Turbolift:: TL: Observation lounge.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::enters Turbolift, requesting the bridge::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: Your place was on the Bridge. What if those people had allies already up in space and decided to attack the Huron? I needed those brains on the bridge.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::enters Turbolift::
Dvari says:
::peeks into CJ's room:: CJ: Well, hi there, little man. ::smiles::
Randi says:
::stepping back, she realizes that Prin is in pain also, never realizing it could hurt as badly as she was::
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  With all due respect, Captain, I don't believe you're a sector commander just because you're good at paperwork.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::steps off and goes into the Observation Lounge::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::looks at Raina:: CMO: ::whispers:: It would do his grandmother a lot of  good.  If you need him to visit a while, I can arrange it
SO_Hansen says:
::steps off the Turbolift and into the Observation Lounge::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::exits the Turbolift and heads into the Observation Lounge::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::enters the Bridge, checks status and debriefs the Tactical officer on duty::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::exits the Turbolift, heading for the Observation Lounge:
EO_Woo says:
::walks quickly into the Observation Lounge, avoiding everyone's eyes::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: All respect taken, but there was nothing that could have been done to save her, Todd
CMO_McDonald says:
Dalmar: Once I get settled in with him and we're close to Trill, I'll come by.
Dvari says:
<CJ> Dvari: Hi, Dvari! Look what I made!
Randi says:
~~~~Prin:  How can you go on, knowing you let Kayta die?~~~~
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  You don't even know that.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::enters the Observation Lounge, finding a seat::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::goes to the back of the room and stands against the wall::
SO_Hansen says:
::finds herself standing alone again, but stays quiet::
Dvari says:
::bends down:: CJ: Let me see.
SFI_Berlin says:
::takes a seat sipping on her coffee::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::once the ship is secure, enters the Observation Lounge, and looks around for Shannon, Patrick, and Randi::
Host Traben says:
<Prin> ::sending the emotion  of regret, not wanting to let his host die::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::stands looking at her report::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: That's what the report says. The moment she fell unconscious is the moment Prin rejected her. The rest was just shock on the host's part. You don't think I'm not reeling over this? I lost one of my best friends down there, Commander.
Randi says:
::not expecting an answer, Randi turns to leave, but senses Prin is sorry for Kayta's death::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::stands up heads over to Shannon::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::pauses::  Skyler:  Okay, well that's in the past.  There's nothing we can do about that.  But what about this new Captain?
Dvari says:
<CJ>Dvari: See, it's the Captain. Todd told me that she died, so I made a picture of her so you and Todd can remember her.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: Well, that is what this briefing is about.
Dvari says:
::starts to cry::
Dalmar_Lio says:
Kragon/Traben: How long will you be able to stay on Trill?  I know your mother could use the company.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::stands there with my back against the wall staring at the floor::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: Shall we go rally the troops?
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  Not yet.  Why was she brought in?
Randi says:
::walks slowly out of sickbay, feeling lost::
Dvari says:
<CJ>: Dvari: You don't like it? ::has a sad look on his face::
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> Dalmar:  I've got a couple of days coming.  I can rejoin the ship when she reaches Earth.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: I offered you the Huron and you said no.
Dalmar_Lio says:
::still choking on his own emotions::
CMO_McDonald says:
Dalmar: I can only stay for a short while. I have to get back to the ship and figure out why the symbiont rejected Kayta’s body.
Host Traben says:
Dalmar:  I'm not sure, father, I'm waiting on orders.
SO_Hansen says:
::folds her hands in front of her and looks down at them, feeling very uncomfortable::
Dalmar_Lio says:
Kragon: Good.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::amazed::  Skyler:  I'm sorry, I don't seem to remember having that conversation.
Dvari says:
CJ: Oh, it's beautiful, CJ. I love it, and Todd will, too. It's just that today is a very sad day.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::wonders what will happen now::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: It also went down to the Admiralty Review board
Randi says:
::walks into the Turbolift, not realizing that the Counselor is there as well::
CTO_Ayidee says:
Shannon/ Patrick: Have you seen Randi yet?
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  And the board's decision was that this command officer is not fit for command?
OPS_O`Riley says:
::shakes head:: CTO: Nay, Tio.
Dvari says:
<CJ>::hugs Dvari:: Dvari: Don't be sad.
EO_Woo says:
::starts mumbling to himself::
CNS_Varesh says:
::enters the Turbolift::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: Todd, they just thought that you needed a little more time.
Dalmar_Lio says:
Traben: Well, then, we shall strive to make the best of the time we have.
SO_Hansen says:
::glances over at Woo as he starts talking to himself::
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  Time?  I've been in command of the Huron myself for weeks!  What more do they need?
Host Traben says:
Dalmar:  I'll be here as long as I can.  The university has offered me a position.  I'm just debating on whether to take it or not.
CTO_Ayidee says:
Shannon: Do they ever get easier?
OPS_O`Riley says:
::looks up at Tio with tears in my eyes:: CTO: Nay, Tio they don't.
Dvari says:
::sits on CJ's bed:: CJ: It's alright, your hugs help.
CMO_McDonald says:
::notices Caleb trying to feed from him:: Grabs the bottle:: I'm sorry son, but its bottles for you from now on ::watches as Caleb takes the bottle and starts feeding::
Randi says:
::is surprised when the Turbolift doors open and Varesh exits with her::
Host Traben says:
::looks over at his mother:: Dalmar:  Maybe I will.  Starfleet owes me one anyway.  I can take a leave of absence.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
XO: Well, you and I both know that. I lobbied for you, but they didn't listen.  They had a list of people they wanted in there and that was final. I couldn't get a word in edgeways.
Host XO_Richmond says:
Skyler:  Well, I guess the decision has been made.  I'll just have to abide by it.  *CTO* Ensign, are the crew assembled?
OPS_O`Riley says:
CEO: I wish they be gettin on with this meetin.
EO_Woo says:
::turns head, looking straight at Hansen:: SO: Don't worry, I'm not losing my mind. ::smiles::
Randi says:
::looks around trying to figure out where she is::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::exits the Ready Room, blatantly ignoring protocol::
CNS_Varesh says:
::finally notices someone in the Turbolift with him:: Randi: You alright, Randi?
Dalmar_Lio says:
Kragen: Can you tell me that they got all these people who did this to my daughter?
CEO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Aye, lass, that would be good.
CMO_McDonald says:
::looks at Raina:: Raina: Would you like to do the honors of feeding Caleb?
SO_Hansen says:
::feels her face turning red::  EO:  Sorry ... I didn't mean to stare ...
OPS_O`Riley says:
::fighting to keep the tears at bay::
CTO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Most of the crew is here, just waiting on the Counselor and Randi, I believe.
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> Dalmar:  The people responsible are in custody on Bajor...  They are about to be tried.  I'll find out when.
Dvari says:
CJ: We will have to help Todd through this, too.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::enters the Observation Lounge, sits at the head::  CTO: Please call Ms Laris up here, too.
Randi says:
CNS: Sorry, I didn't see you, why?  And where am I?
EO_Woo says:
SO: No, no, that's alright ::chuckles, then quickly stifles, a guilty look on his face::
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::still crying, just nods her head and reaches for the baby::
CMO_McDonald says:
::lets Raina take the baby and hands her the bottle::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::looks as Richmond enters the room::
CTO_Ayidee says:
*Dvari*: Commander Richmond requires you in the Observation Lounge as well, please.
CNS_Varesh says:
Randi: Were going to the Observation Lounge. We're needed there. ::steers her in that direction::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::looks up at Richmond’s voice::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Shannon, I be back.
Dvari says:
<CJ>: I will, Dvari...I promise.
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::takes the bottle and begins to feed Caleb::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
::enters the Observation Lounge::
Randi says:
::moves with Varesh into the Observation Lounge, still not knowing what is happening::
Dvari says:
*CTO*: On my way.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::looks over at Patrick:: CEO: Where ya be goin?
SO_Hansen says:
EO: Laughing is a good way to relieve pain.
CNS_Varesh says:
::enters the Observation Lounge, and settles Randi in a seat, then stands behind her::
CTO_Ayidee says:
*Dvari*: Acknowledged.
Host XO_Richmond says:
All:  Captain Skyler has an announcement to make.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Need to be havin a talk with Mr. Woo.
CMO_McDonald says:
::goes up to the communications console taps a few buttons:: COM: Huron: This is McDonald, is it possible to be patched into the meeting?
CNS_Varesh says:
XO: Sorry we're late, sir.
Dvari says:
CJ: Sorry CJ, I have to go...you be a good boy, okay? ::stands and exits the room::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::nods:: CEO: Aye.
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: She is on her way.
Dalmar_Lio says:
Kragen/Traben: ::angry:: I want them to pay ::begins to convulse in anguish::  I want them to pay the way my daughter paid.
Dvari says:
::runs to the Turbolift and enters the Observation Lounge::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::nods to Ayidee::  CNS: Thank you for joining us, Counselor.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::walks over to Woo:: EO: Mr. Woo, you be ready to do some work after this?
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> ::stone-faced.:: Dalmar: Don't worry, Father, they will.
CMO_McDonald says:
Dalmar: So do I. I'm going to make a petition to have them pay with the death sentence.
Dvari says:
::exits the Turbolift and walks quickly to the Observation Lounge::
EO_Woo says:
::with a straight, professional posture:: CEO: Absolutely, sir...
OPS_O`Riley says:
::stands there, waiting for the meeting to start, thinking about everyone she has lost through her life::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: There is a lot to cover here. Please feel free to grab a drink before we get started.
Dvari says:
::enters huffing and puffing and looks over at Todd:: XO: Sorry, Commander, personal business.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::sees the request to be patched into the meeting from McDonald, and does so::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::nods to Dvari::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
EO: Okay, start a level 3 diagnostic from bow to stern.  Take Beta and Delta teams to help.
CMO_McDonald says:
Kragon: Please don’t do anything foolish.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::watches the crew get their drinks, chooses not to have one himself::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::looks at his sons:: CMO: We have many friends, I do not think a petition will be necessary.  Kragon: Will it?
CNS_Varesh says:
Randi: Something to drink?
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> ::just looks at Lennier::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::gets a mug of Raktajino so she doesn't fall asleep during the meeting::
EO_Woo says:
CEO: Alright, sir... ::stands up, walks to replicator:: Replicator:: Cranberry juice.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
Cadet 3rd Class Randi McIntyre and Civilian Specialist Dvari Laris, please stand.
Randi says:
::is sitting there like a statue, not hearing, caring or feeling::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::stands at the back with hands folded::
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> Dalmar:  Let’s just say, they will pay.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::walks over to replicators, getting a cup of coffee::
SO_Hansen says:
::stands by herself, not saying anything::
Dvari says:
::never sat but straightens up still huffing::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: The rest of you may be seated.
CMO_McDonald says:
::listens in on the proceedings, watching Raina feed Caleb out of the corner of his eye::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::remains standing::
Dalmar_Lio says:
Kragon: I see we still speak the same language.
CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: The Captain is talking to you, dear. Get up and listen to him~~~~
Randi says:
::stands up with Varesh’s help::
CMO_McDonald says:
::turns to face Raina in the shuttle:: Raina, you don’t seem to have lost your touch with children.
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> ::nods at his father.::
Dvari says:
::shrugs her shoulders at Todd::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
Randi, Dvari: The Federation asked me to pass these on to you personally. It is my personal honor to present to you the federation Council Vote of Thanks.
SFI_Berlin says:
::listens to Skyler, wondering what's going to happen next::
Randi says:
::tries to focus on who is talking to her::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::shakes his head to Davri, as if to say "I don't know"::
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::manages a weak smile.:: CMO:  I sure hope not.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::shakes his head to clear it, and tries to pay attention to what Captain Skyler is saying::
Dvari says:
::smiles weakly:: CO: For what, Captain?
CMO_McDonald says:
Kragon: Seeing as how you and I are the same rank, I'm going to do something I don’t often do. And that’s pull it. You are not to go after these people. Let the course of justice work and we will get our revenge. Clear?
Host Captain_Skyler says:
Dvari: For your voluntary service and humanitarian efforts on behalf of the United Federation of Planets.
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> ::glares at Lennier:: CMO: Don't presume to tell me what to do.
Host Captain_Skyler says:
::hands them each a framed certificate::
CMO_McDonald says:
Kragon: I know you’re Intelligence, but I don’t want anything to happen to you. Caleb needs all of us.
Randi says:
::looks as something is placed in her hands::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: Now, there is work to be done.
Dvari says:
CO: I can't accept any thanks, Captain, I'm sorry. ::pushes the certificate away::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::listens::
Dalmar_Lio says:
CMO/Kragen: My sons, enough of this talk, this is time for family.  I am sorry I brought it up.
Dvari says:
::turns and leaves the room on the run::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::gives a knowing glance to Kragen::
Host Traben says:
<Kragon> CMO: Caleb will have all of us, but justice will be served also.  ::looks at his father:: Dalmar:  Yes, Father.
Randi says:
::standing there, not moving::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::notices Dvari run out, knows he cannot go after her right now::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::watches Dvari leave::
CMO_McDonald says:
Dalmar: Don't be sorry. I just don't think going after the people is the right thing.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::nods to Varesh::
CNS_Varesh says:
::startled as Dvari runs out, but helps Randi sit again::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: Many of you have noticed that the appearance of the ship has altered.  That the grey has been replaced with black.
Dvari says:
::::heads to the Turbolift and enters::
Host Captain_Skyler says:
All: There have been several reported sightings of the USS Protecteur in the sectors surrounding Trill and Betazed. For further information, I now turn this over to our Intelligence Officer, Lieutenant Commander Berlin.
SFI_Berlin says:
::stands, sitting her coffee down on the edge of the table, and makes her way to the front::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::raises an eyebrow at hearing the name Protecteur::
CNS_Varesh says:
~~~Dvari: Are you alright, my friend?~~~
Dvari says:
::makes her way to her quarters and goes straight into her own room::
Dvari says:
::ignores Varesh’s thoughts::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::tries to remember where she heard that ship's name before::
Dalmar_Lio says:
::looks at Caleb:: Raina: He has Kayta's eyes.
EO_Woo says:
::a little lost::
Host Traben says:
<Raina> ::sniffs::  Dalmar:  And her smile, too.
SO_Hansen says:
::stays quiet and listens::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::starts feeling dizzy::
SFI_Berlin says:
::standing tall, with no appearance of being ruffled at all:: All: We have a reason to believe that the USS Protecteur will be in this area within the next couple of days.  It is still believed that Derrellian Mikalta, this ship’s Pediatrician, will be on that ship.
Dvari says:
::sobs into her pillow::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::enters quietly in the back of the Observation Lounge::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::glances over at Patrick:: CEO: Are ya okay?
CEO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Aye, lass.
Randi says:
::through her stupor, she senses a new presence enter the room::
OPS_O`Riley says:
::watches Patrick::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::dressed smartly, hair tied back in a tight bun, she stands at the back her hands behind her back::
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: Any idea on crew size or current armament?
CNS_Varesh says:
::moves quietly to the back of the room:: *Storm*: Adele, please go to Ms. Laris and see if you can help her?  I'm slightly busy at the moment. ::looks up as Adamson walks in::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::notices the Captain enter, his stony face not moving an inch::
CMO_McDonald says:
Raina: Thanks for feeding Caleb. I needed the break. He knows something is up, but doesn't know what.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::sees a new face enter the room and wonders who it is::
SFI_Berlin says:
All: We do not know if she is unharmed or if she has acquiesced to the side of the Pirate, Tarn.  When the ship is spotted we have orders to take the ship and all on it by force, including Lieutenant Mikalta, until the details of everything are known.
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: The compliment of the ship is approximately 50.
Dalmar_Lio says:
Kragen: ::whispers:: Lio has made many allies over the years, if you need them let me know
SFI_Berlin says:
All: You will be receiving further details and your orders from your new Captain shortly.  Any other questions?
Host CO_Adamson says:
::begins to walk towards the front of the room.::
CNS_Varesh says:
<Storm> *CNS* Aye, sir.
Host CO_Adamson says:
SFI:  I'll take it from here, Commander.
SO_Hansen says:
::hears footsteps and looks at Adamson::
OPS_O`Riley says:
Self: New Captain? That was fast.
SFI_Berlin says:
::nods, and steps aside, noting the 4 pips::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::watches as an unfamiliar person walks to the head of the table::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::sits back a little in his seat, decidedly uncomfortable with the whole thing::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::feels a little faint::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Looks to Adamson, wondering who just got busted to latrine duty for letting this person aboard without notifying him.::
CNS_Varesh says:
::frowns slightly, but makes his way back to Randi::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::reaches the head of the room and looks at Richmond:: XO:  Commander Richmond, I presume?
Host XO_Richmond says:
::looks up and stands to attention::  CO: Yes, sir!
Randi says:
::looks at the person now taking Kayta's place::
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  I’d like to speak with you in my office when we are done here.
OPS_O`Riley says:
CEO: Patrick, are ya sure ya be okay?
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Of course, Captain.
Host CO_Adamson says:
::turns and looks at the group in front of her.::
CNS_Varesh says:
::eyes widen in recognition. Self: I don't believe it.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::shakes head:: OPS: Aye, lass, Ah be fine.
Host CO_Adamson says:
All:  For those you don't recognize me, and I'm sure I've had you in some of my classes at the Academy, I'm Captain Adamson.  I've been assigned as the new Commanding Officer of the Huron.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::just looks at Adamson::
SO_Hansen says:
::stays quiet and listens::
Dvari says:
::lies there, crying::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::looks at everyone's dress and nods::
CNS_Varesh says:
::clutches the back of Randi's chair::
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  Cadet, I would also like to speak to you after this meeting.
SFI_Berlin says:
::Ahhh.....Starfleet Intelligence's smiling assassin.........the teacher who smiles at the front and kills you with your grades::
Randi says:
::says nothing, but nods::
Dvari says:
<CJ>::hears Dvari crying and comes in the room:: Dvari: Dvari, why are you crying?
Randi says:
~~~~Varesh:  Who is she? And why does she want to speak to me?~~~~
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Dismiss the crew and I'll see you in my office.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Aye, sir.  All:  Crew, dismissed.
CNS_Varesh says:
~~~Randi: She's the new Captain. And one of my instructors at the Academy.~~~
EO_Woo says:
::stands up, quickly turns and walks out of the Observation Lounge::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::thinks “oh great, they send us an academy instructor. I bet she has never been on a starship before”::
Randi says:
CNS: Will you stay here with me?
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::starts to head out the door, collapsing and falling over a chair::
SO_Hansen says:
::heads out of the Observation Lounge::
CNS_Varesh says:
::frowns, but says nothing:: Randi: Of course.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::leaves and heads for sickbay::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::walks over to Randi again.::  Randi: Are you okay?
OPS-O`Riley says:
::sees Patrick fall and goes to his side:: MO: Over here, quick.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::waits for the Captain to leave, then follows::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::looks up and sees Varesh, then all of a sudden winks and grins at him.::
Dvari says:
::wipes her eyes on the sheets:: CJ: Oh, I'm sorry if I bothered you, CJ. Something happened that upset me, but I'll be fine.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::quickly walks over to the O’Guinn and O’Riley::
Randi says:
Tio:  What can I say?  I am here...
SFI_Berlin says:
::Nods to Adamson, and leaves the Observation Lounge::
OPS-O`Riley says:
MO: He just passed out.
CNS_Varesh says:
::is surprised, but smiles hesitantly back::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::hears O’Guinn fall, and goes over to see if he can assist::  
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::runs her medical tricorder over him::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::feels the tears starting all over again::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::hears the commotion and goes over and sees what is happening:: MO:  What is the problem?
Host XO_Richmond says:
MO: How is he, Doctor?
OPS-O`Riley says:
MO: Is he okay?
EO_Woo says:
::walks into the Turbolift:: TL: Main Engineering. Now!
SO_Hansen says:
::sighs, feeling slightly relieved that this is over::
CTO_Ayidee says:
Randi: That is good, you didn't seem to be "here" just after the funeral.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
CTO: Can you get me the emergency medkit from the bridge?
SFI_Berlin says:
::walks out onto the bridge, just observing.......typing a few things into the OPS console checking for something on the Protecteur....then nodding, not seeing it on scans, and just watches the viewscreen::
Dvari says:
<CJ>: Can I help, Dvari? I'm good at wiping tears away. Please, can I, huh?
OPS-O`Riley says:
::kneeling beside Patrick, watching what is going on::
Randi says:
CTO:  I am here, but that is all.
CTO_Ayidee says:
MO: Affirmative.  ::grabs the Medkit and rushes back.::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::stays out of the way.::  XO:  Commander, lets go into my office....  MO:  Please inform me of his condition as soon as you know.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CNS_Varesh says:
::stays with Randi, wondering what Chloe is up to.::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::looks around at everyone and back down to Patrick:: CEO: Patrick, please wake up.
Dvari says:
::grabs CJ and pulls him into her bed:: CJ: You do help me a lot...just give me lots of hugs. ::smiles::
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::applies a hypo to O’Guinn:: OPS: This should help him.
EO_Woo says:
::walks out of the Turbolift, towards Main Engineering, reading the agenda before beginning the diagnostic::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::hands Thoren the Medkit::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::exits the Observation Lounge and enters the Ready Room::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::follows the Captain into the ready room::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::waits for Richmond and Randi::
Randi says:
~~~~Varesh:  How well do you know her?  She seemed to like you as she smiled...~~~~
Dvari says:
<CJ>: I give good hugs, Dvari, see? ::hugs her tight::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::turns to face Richmond, trying to hide her shakes::
CNS_Varesh says:
~~~Randi: Yes, I know her, and she seems to be waiting for you. Let's go.~~~
CTO_Ayidee says:
Randi: Losing someone is difficult, even when they aren't...special.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Reporting as ordered, Captain.
SFI_Berlin says:
SO: Anything interesting on the sensors?
Randi says:
::stands and walks to the Ready Room, ringing the chime::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::barely a whisper:: CEO: Patrick, please, ya can'na be leavin me as well. ::crying::
EO_Woo says:
::calls the attention of the engineers::  Engineers: Listen up. Beta and Delta teams, we are to complete a level 3 diagnostic of the entire ship, on the double.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
OPS: He's not recovered from Bajor yet.
Dvari says:
::starts to laugh:: CJ: You sure do....ooooo not so tight!
Host CO_Adamson says:
::choosing her words carefully::  XO:  I'll apologize right now.  I know I usurped your position for the Captaincy of the Huron.
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  Enter!
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
*Bridge* Two to beam to sickbay.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Captain?  ::doesn't quite follow, more out of politeness than anything else::
EO_Woo says:
::watches as the engineers scurry to get ready their tools::
Randi says:
::turns and looks at Varesh to follow her::  CO: Ma’am, you wanted to see me?
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  I need to know how the crew is doing mentally.
SO_Hansen says:
::snaps out of her trancelike state and looks down on her console::  SFI:  Ah ... no, ma'am.
CTO_Ayidee says:
::watches as Randi heads to the Ready Room, then heads to the Bridge to take back Tactical::
CNS_Varesh says:
::walks into the Ready Room behind Randi, but keeps to the back::
SFI_Berlin says:
SO: I'm sending a ship’s signature, to your console.  Watch for this ship, if you see it or something that looks remotely like it, inform both the Captain and me immediately.  Understood?
Randi says:
::grabs Varesh’s hand so he can't move away::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::sees Varesh.:: CNS:  I was glad to see you were on board.  Leslie is going to love having her pook.... errr V around again.  ::grins::
SO_Hansen says:
SFI:  Yes, ma'am.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Well, Captain, um, the Counselor would be the best person to ask for that sort of information.  But if you want my personal opinion, Captain McDonald's death has hit them very hard.
Dvari says:
<CJ>: You silly. I don’t hug too tight. ::starts to laugh, too::
CNS_Varesh says:
::has the good grace to blush:: CO: Welcome, ma'am. It'll be good to see the kids again.
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO: I'm aware of that and, believe me, I understand.  I don't want to push them where they are not ready, but we have our orders.  And, Commander, for the next little while I'll be relying on you heavily.  Can I count on you?
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  Please have a seat.
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: We have access to the Protecteur's Command Codes and such?
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Absolutely, Captain.  ::very slightly confused by that question::
Randi says:
::looks for a chair and then sits, dragging Varesh next to her::
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: We did.  However, they may have found a way to alter them.  Let's hope not.
Dvari says:
::feels better, and soon she and CJ are fast asleep::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::sits on the floor of the Observation Lounge, feeling totally lost::
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  There is a reason for that question, I'll get into in a bit.
CNS_Varesh says:
::stands next to Randi::
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: I'm expecting them too, but want to plan around it.
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  I'd like to address Randi's situation first though.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Of course, sir.
Randi says:
::looks at Adamson and says nothing::
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: Understood.  Inform both the Captain and me of anything you come up with.
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  Being from the Academy, I believe that is where you belong, but.....
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: Of course.
SFI_Berlin says:
SO: Did you get the information I sent to your console and do you think you can pick that up from all the other ships out there?
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: Do you have any thoughts on the matter now that we can discuss?
CNS_Varesh says:
::listens to the Captain, but says nothing.::
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  I've read the notes on you from Captain McDonald and she believes the Academy is not the right environment for you at this point.  Now, I'd like to take the next few weeks and come up with my own assessment.  Exceptions have been made in regards to age before, and the Academy will listen me if I recommend it.
OPS-O`Riley says:
::slowly gets up from the floor and heads out to the bridge::
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: Not yet, but it may work as a diversion to keep their attention off what we do try.
EO_Woo says:
::enters a note in the log that a diagnostic level 3 is commencing::
Randi says:
CO: Whatever you want... it makes no difference to me. ::not caring how she sounds::
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Do you have the results of her work on board the Huron?
SO_Hansen says:
SFI:  I believe so, ma'am.  ::looks over the information::
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Yes, sir.
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  Randi, I know you’re upset right now, so I'll ignore the insolent attitude.
CNS_Varesh says:
::winces at Randi's tone, and squeezes her hand::
Randi says:
::hopes the Captain will boot her, as she really wants to kill some engineers::
OPS-O`Riley says:
::taps her comm badge:: *EO* O’Riley to Engineering.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::about to open his mouth to chastise Randi for her comment, then is interrupted by the Captain::
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: Do we have any profiles on the fer...the Klingon who commands the ship?
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: Understood.  It's possible.  I doubt they'll be expecting us.  One of the crew seems to be disgruntled with the Captain of the ship, and the Captain has no idea he's contacted Starfleet.
Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: A signal comes in from Deep Space Subspace Relay KZ-133
EO_Woo says:
Engineers: We will commence in five minutes.  *OPS* Woo here.
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Please have a report for me in the morning.  Until then, she is to be rotated among the departments on the ship.  Starting with Flight Control.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Aye, aye, sir.
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: We certainly do.  I'll make a note to get that for you.
OPS-O`Riley says:
*EO* Just be lettin ya know that Lieutenant O’Guinn has been taken to sickbay.
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: An insider could be helpful.  Information and sabotage if needed....
Host CO_Adamson says:
Randi:  Dismissed, Cadet...  Please report to Commander Richmond for your next assignment.
OPS-O`Riley says:
::goes to the OPS console and gets the signal::
EO_Woo says:
*OPS* What?? My gosh... is he all right?
OPS-O`Riley says:
*EO* Unknown at this time.
CNS_Varesh says:
::turns to leave with Randi:: CO: If that is all?
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: We can't link up with him though.  We only get a feed from him.
Randi says:
CO: Yes, Ma’am ::stands and could care less::
EO_Woo says:
*OPS* Thank you for telling me, sir. Woo out.
Host XO_Richmond says:
::watches Randi leave::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::nods at Varesh:: CNS:  Yes, why don't you come by my quarters later?  The children would love to see you.
OPS-O`Riley says:
*CO* Captain, there be a relay signal coming in from one of the deep space subspace relays.
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: I don't like that.  Could be a double agent or a false leak.  That is what I'd do.
Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: Signal reads “Spotted USS Protecteur - *Coordinates*”
Host CO_Adamson says:
*OPS*  In my office please, Lieutenant.
EO_Woo says:
Self: Five minutes, alright. ::heads out of Main Engineering, towards the Turbolift::
SFI_Berlin says:
CTO: He's fed us correct information before.
CNS_Varesh says:
::smiles:: CO: Sure, ma'am. After the duty shift. ::nods to Richmond and goes onto the bridge::
SFI_Berlin says:
::hears the relay, and pulls up the information on the Engineering Console:: All: Bingo!
Host XO_Richmond says:
::nods to Varesh and watches him leave::
EO_Woo says:
::enters the Turbolift:: TL: Sickbay.
SO_Hansen says:
::gives Berlin a confused look::
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: She's a good cadet.
SFI_Berlin says:
*CO* We have the Protecteur in our area.
CTO_Ayidee says:
SFI: Aye, if you say so.  ::makes notes to confirm all the information as soon as possible::
Host CO_Adamson says:
::waits for the communique to come into her office::
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  From the reports that I have, I agree with you. But Command wants an assessment.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host Jamie_O says:
COM: USS Huron: This is Deep Space Relay Station KZ-133.  Spotted USS Protecteur - *Coordinates*
Host CO_Adamson says:
::slumps against her desk::  XO:  I'm going to need your help in a big way.
EO_Woo says:
::exits the Turbolift, and walks into sickbay, looking for someone to talk to::
SFI_Berlin says:
SO: Get them on long range sensors and track them.
CTO_Ayidee says:
*CO/ XO* If the Protecteur is close, I'd like to take us to Yellow Alert.
Randi says:
::walks over to the helm and sits down::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::looks at Adamson quizzically::  CO: Captain?
SFI_Berlin says:
*CO* Repeat, we have the Protecteur in our area.
SO_Hansen says:
SFI:  Yes, ma'am.  ::taps on her console::
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Yes, sir.
Host CO_Adamson says:
*SFI*  Acknowledged, I'm still waiting for that communiqué, Commander.
Randi says:
::looks over the flight control and prepares for orders::
SFI_Berlin says:
*CO* Patching it through now.
Host Jamie_O says:
COM: USS Huron: This is Deep Space Relay Station KZ-133.  Spotted USS Protecteur - *Coordinates*
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Ive never been in command of a starship before, so I'm going to need your help.
CNS_Varesh says:
::sits in his seat:: ~~~Randi: Are you okay?~~~
Host XO_Richmond says:
::decides not to comment::  CO: Yes, sir.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
::watches O’Guinn on the biobed::
SFI_Berlin says:
Randi: Set an intercept course.  Wait for the Captain’s instructions before engaging.
OPS-O`Riley says:
COM: DS Relay: Receiving now.
Randi says:
~~~~Varesh:  I am here and will do my duty.  Do not expect more from me than that, Varesh.~~~~
EO_Woo says:
::walks up to Thoren:: MO: Doctor, where is Lieutenant O'Guinn?
Randi says:
SFI: Aye, course calculated, awaiting orders.
CNS_Varesh says:
~~~Randi: Understood, but we'll have to talk later.~~~ ::wonders about Dvari::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::stirs a bit, then lays motionless::
SFI_Berlin says:
Randi: Excellent.  Hold course until then.
Dvari says:
::stirs in her sleep::
Randi says:
SFI: Yes, Ma’am, holding current course.
Host CO_Adamson says:
*SFI* In future Commander, when something is addressed to me, I would appreciate to read it first.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::stirs, opening his eyes::
SFI_Berlin says:
*CO* If it is addressed to you, you will. This wasn't.  Captain.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Our Security Chief has recommended we go to yellow alert.  Would you like to be on the bridge to see how things develop?
Host CO_Adamson says:
*SFI* Commander, I'm in command of this ship.  You don't decide that.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
EO: Right over here. In front of me.
OPS-O`Riley says:
::gets up turning the OPS console over to Pip, and heads for sickbay::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::thinks to self, "Ape Fight"::
EO_Woo says:
MO: Well then, how is he?
SFI_Berlin says:
::thinks, “this woman is frightened and scared, and making no sense”::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::looks around seeing Thoren and Woo:: MO/EO: What happened? ::tries to sit up and falls back, unable to::
Host XO_Richmond says:
::stood, waiting for the Captain to at least let him out, so he can get on with putting the ship to yellow alert and being ready for the Protecteur::
Host CO_Adamson says:
*SFI*  In future, Commander, you don't decide what I see and don't see.
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO: Dismissed, Commander.
SFI_Berlin says:
*CO* I didn't decide that.  I simply forwarded something to you that was marked as general incoming.
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
CEO: You fainted in the Observation Lounge. Who said you could leave sickbay?
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Alert status?
OPS_O`Riley says:
::enters Sickbay:: MO: How is Patrick?
MO_LtJg_Thoren says:
EO: He hasn't fully recovered from his injuries back on Bajor. OPS: He's awake, you can ask him.
OPS_O`Riley says:
::nods to Thoren and moves to Patrick's side::
Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Yellow alert.
Host XO_Richmond says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::exits the ready room::
