Mission Overview
	The USS Huron is enroute to the Shelby Proving Grounds for routine maintenance checks, including a thorough testing of the Huron midsection, which was newly replaced several months ago. The tests are hoped to be uneventful – however, the Captain has asked for all senior officers to proceed to the Observation Lounge, once the Huron has passed the outer markers of the Grounds, for some unfortunate news about several crewmembers.

Host Jamie_O says:
COM: Huron: Huron, Shelby. We need you to report to Yard 5-A for structural inspection of your midsection.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods again at the MO::  MO:  And those would be?
MO_Thoren says:
CNS: Either I can stay as MO, leave Starfleet and move to Son’s, or I can even transfer to Engineering. I don't know what to do.
OPS_Barnes says:
COM: Shelby: Acknowledged, Shelby. Huron, out.
CNS-McIntyre says:
MO:  Mira, which is the most appealing to you?
MO_Thoren says:
CNS: I'm thinking transferring to Engineering.
CNS-McIntyre says:
MO:  Mira, since I am not aware of your history at present, are you qualified in that area, and would that be interesting for you?
OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Captain, we are to report to Yard 5-A for the first round of testing
Host CO_Sheridan says:
OPS: Thank you Ensign.
CMO_Santiago says:
::Detects no stress in the crew.::

CNS: Yes, I studied Engineering and Medical both at the Academy. My father was an engineer on a Klingon ship. ::frowns:: He was killed during the Dominion War.
FCO_O`Guinn says:
::slides finger on console adjust course for Yard 5-A::
CNS-McIntyre says:

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.
Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: The Approach lights illuminate
MO_Thoren says:
CNS: :;thinks:: No, it might be more challenging than medicine. I would be able to be on the bridge at times and know what's going on.
CMO_Santiago says:
::Moves up and steals the CNS chair for a bit.  Leans over::  CO:  Capt, you know its time for your medical don't you ?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::adjust course down the center of the approach lights slides finger down consoles slowing the ship::
CNS-McIntyre says:
MO:  That is true.  If that is what you would like to do, then with your experience and training, I believe the Captain would agree.
CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Nope Ma'am....  Nice try though.  ::Grins::  It's also almost time for your next inoculation.
FCO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Mr. Barnes we are entering the yard.

Host Jamie_O says:
COM: Huron: Huron STG-5A on Channel 147

Host CO_Sheridan says:
CSO: I felt it too.
CNS-McIntyre says:
MO:  Well you have my support Mira, but I would like for you to come and see me for a while... just to make sure all goes well.  Is that all right with you?
OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Shall I put the testing status on main audio, Captain?
Host CO_Sheridan says:
::whispers:: CMO: Great, keep it warm for me.
MO_Thoren says:
CNS: That is alright with me.
Host Jamie_O says:

Host CO_Sheridan says:
OPS: Please do.
CNS-McIntyre says:
MO:  Is there anything else Mira?  ::wonders from her body posture what she isn't saying::
CMO_Santiago says:

CNS: That was all.  ::gets up::
Host CO_Sheridan says:
OPS: Did he say evac of decks 9 through 12?
CNS-McIntyre says:
MO:  I am glad you came Mira... perhaps this will give us a chance to get to know one another.
OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
MO_Thoren says:
CNS: Perhaps.
Host CO_Sheridan says:
OPS: Please have Mr. Ayidee handle that with his security teams.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CO*: Captain, MO Thoren just spoke with me and is interested in an engineering position.  She has the qualifications, and I believe she can handle it.  Just wanted to give you a verbal heads up and will be sending my recommendation in writing.
OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Sir, Shelby Control needs us to evacuate decks 9 through 12 for testing. The captain wants your security teams to handle this.
CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Got it, thanks.  *Sec*: We need decks 9 through 12 cleared and checked for the tests.  Clear 'em out.
Host CO_Sheridan says:
*CNS*: Interesting idea Randi. Please send the report and thank you for your "heads up".
OPS_Barnes says:
::assumes place at OPS console again, turning off the automatic settings::
CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: All set.  By the way, next time you can just speak up.  I don't bite.  Well, only in combat.
CNS-McIntyre says:
*CO*: Yes Ma’am.  Do you need me on the bridge at the moment?
OPS_Barnes says:
::looks back at CTO:: CTO: Aye, sir. Sorry, sir.
Host CO_Sheridan says:
*CNS*: No Randi, You can keep doing your work from your office.
CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Don't apologize.  Relax.  We need to work together, especially when trouble starts.
CNS-McIntyre says:

Host Jamie_O says:
<EO Goodwrench> *Bridge* Engineering is secured, and the warp core has been force field protected
OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Sorr-- Aye, sir.
Host CO_Sheridan says:
