Ship’s Log/Mission Summary:
The Huron has returned to Starbase 71 to pick up two new crew members: Ensign Brandy Daniels, her new Operations Manager and Lieutenant Commander James Andrews, the long-awaited new Commanding Officer. Unfortunately, she lost a crew member in the process; Doctor Logan has been reassigned and quietly slipped away as Ethan came onboard with Brandy and James. After a brief introduction to the Bridge crew, Ethan had the ship’s crew assemble in the cargo bay to meet their new captain and to officially turn over control of the ship.

Timelapse: 2 hours

FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
USS Huron - 10504.23
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
SUMMARY: The Huron is on final approach to Starbase 71. What will await them there? Only the Admiral and SFC knows. Sydney Logan is sadly leaving the ship, having been transferred to "greener" pastures.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
FCO: We are now at the outer markers. You want to take her in, or shall I? ::grinning at him::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::standing on the bridge in his best vest and cloak, worn to all the finest brawlss::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::on Bridge, reviewing last of the reports from the personal phaser diagnostics::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::seated in the Big Chair:: CNS: Randi, please get clearance for us to dock. ::smiles:: You can take her in.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::at her station on the bridge checking over her supply list::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CIV: You are looking mighty handsome today Q'tor. Any special reason?
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::turns slightly:: CEO: Holly, stand by to transfer to base power as soon as we are docked.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
COM: SBOPS: This is the USS Huron requesting clearance to dock and docking bay.
CMO Lt. JG Logan says:
::in her quarters, packing her things, a tear rolling down her face::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
FCO: Yes Commander, standing by.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: It is my understanding that we will be greeting an Admiral.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CTO: Ec'Thel'Ion, once we are docked, secure bridge stations until we are ready to set off again.
Starbase Operations says:
COM: Huron:  You are cleared for docking, please proceed to docking port 4.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CIV: You will find that the Admiral is not one for a lot of dress up, thank goodness!
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::alerts her engineering personnel that she will be transferring the Huron to station power once they dock::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
FCO: Aye sir, I've also got a rotation set for monitoring ship boarding ports.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
COM: SBOPS: Understood, we are cleared for docking port 4. And in case you are wondering, we are glad to be home. Cmdr. McIntyre out.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CTO: Very well. I don't know if the Admiral will come on board, or if we are meeting him on the base.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: This is not what I would refer to as "dress up".  For that I have a dress uniform.
Starbase Operations says:
COM: Huron: Welcome home Huron.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::sends off her supply list to operations for procurement::
CMO Lt. JG Logan says:
::heads for the door, turning around once more to take one final look at her quarters before she leaves:: Computer: Send transmission to Randi McIntyre, for her eyes only. ::heads to the TL::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::hrumphs at the closing statement of SBOPS:: FCO:  Roz, I think you heard. We are coming in now, engaging maneuvering thrusters.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
FCO: Aye sir, but this is more a "keep someone from the ship" in place rather than trusting Starbase security. Call me paranoid.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CNS: Nice and easy... Ok, I'll keep quiet. Once in position, engage docking clamps and umbilicals.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::begins to tap the controls on her console, watching the Huron slow down, and begins to move her to the correct docking port::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::grins:: CTO: You're paranoid.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
FCO: Oh gee, do I have to? I wanted everyone to have to jump across to the starbase!
::begins to snicker::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CNS: You can jump across - I want to use either a turbolift, or a airlock.
Adm. Knight says:
@CO: Well Andrews, looks like the Huron has arrived. Shall we go meet her?
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::watching the docking procedure on the screen and readies to switch power::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
@ADM: I'd like that. ::looks at his PADD again:: You sure this isn't supposed to be longer?
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
FCO: Either that or I'm just looking to keep my guys in busy work. ::grins:: It's either that or let them play "Go Fish" the whole time we're docked.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CTO: I think they will get bored with "Go Fish".
Adm. Knight says:
@::grins:: CO:  'm sure. ::begins walking down the corridor towards the airlock::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::moves the Huron to the dock with not even a small bump, engages the dock clamps and the umbilicals:: FCO/CEO: We are here and do your stuff Holly!
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
FCO: You don't know the puppies like I do. They consider it a challenging game.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::glances over at Roz and then at Icky for a moment::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
@::chuckles and walks with the Admiral, tugging at the collar of his dress whites::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::opens a shipwide channel:: *ALL*: We are docked at Starbase 71. All personnel remain on board until further notice.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::listening to the banter between the the FCO and the CTO, not having the slightest idea what "Go Fish" is::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
*Fred*: You guys are on point, we've docked and should have the ports open momentarily.  Keep your heads on straight.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::taps her console:: COM: SBOPS: Operations, switching internal power over to you. Engage when ready. Huron out.
CMO Lt. JG Logan says:
::Takes the TL to Deck 12 and heads to the docking port.::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CEO: Switch to base power please, Holly.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
FCO: Already done Commander. ::smiles and nods::
Starbase Operations says:
COM: CEO: Acknowledged Huron.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::shakes his head:: CEO: Sorry, I was woolgathering a bit. ::smiles faintly as he registers a familiar mind::
Adm. Knight says:
@::arrives at the airlock in time to see the Huron docked:: CO: She's a fine ship James.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
Angeltra: Gamma shift has first watch, right?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
@ADM: I don't doubt it. ::looks out:: She's beautiful. So much more sleek than the Andromeda.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::raises his voice a little:: All: Ok, I am as mystified as you are. I think the Admiral will be here soon to change that.
Angeltra says:
CTO: Yeah, they drew the short straw, so to speak.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
FCO:  Are we to wait here for him or greet him at the docking port?

FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CIV: I think he'll come up here. Security will direct him.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
~~~ADM:  About time you decided to show up!~~~
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::Nods slightly to the FCO and then turns to face the bridge entry::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
:: makes sure that the Huron is now secured to Starbase 71's system ::
Adm. Knight says:
@::grins::  ~~~CNS:  Better now than never.~~~
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::takes a deep breath and get up from the Big Chair, standing in the command circle.::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::Heads to the docking bay of SB71 to get ready to board.::
Adm. Knight says:
@::waits for the airlock door to open::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
~~~ADM:  Hrumph!  You just missed me is all.~~~
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CTO: Are the airlocks open yet?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
@::absentmindedly rocks on his heels, anxious to meet his crew::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
FCO:  Why?  Are we going to throw someone out them?  ::begins to giggle::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::grins:: CNS: Yeah, you're going to leap across.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
FCO: Registering they should open momentarily, as soon as the pressures equalize.
CMO Lt. JG Logan says:
::heads to the airlock doors to depart the Huron:: Self: Bye everyone. ::a tear forms in her eye, but she quickly brushes it away::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
FCO: Hey, the Huron is right next to the dock... but if you insisted, I will!
Adm. Knight says:
@::turns to see a young Ensign arriving:: OPS: Hello Ensign.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CNS: Nah... You can walk like the rest of us mere mortals.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::sticks her tongue out at Roz::
Fred says:
@ADM/CO: Welcome aboard, Admiral. I assume your guest has your clearance, right?
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CNS: Oh, very mature and dignified.
Adm. Knight says:
@::looks his guest up and down:: Fred: Oh, I think we can trust this one. ::grins::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::salutes the Admiral:: ADM: Admiral. Good to see you. I'm a little lost.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::nods her head at Roz:: FCO: You ought to know, you taught me well!
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::smiles, then gets lost in thought again::
Adm. Knight says:
@CO: Shall we? ::motions for the CO to walk onboard the Huron::
Adm. Knight says:
OPS:  re you joining the Huron?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
@::smiles:: ADM: I believe we shall. ::steps into the airlock::
CMO Lt. JG Logan says:
::notices the Admiral standing there. Salutes him as she is leaving::
Adm. Knight says:
@::salutes the Doctor as she leaves::

OPS Ens. Daniels says:
ADM: Yes, Sir. Can you tell me where I can find her Captain so that I can report for duty, Sir?
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::places his hands behind his back and just stands there hurrying up and waiting::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
Fred: Permission to come aboard, Sir.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::chuckles quietly::
Adm. Knight says:
OPS: Security here will help you find your way. Welcome aboard Ensign. ::heads down the corridor::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CIV: That is the service for you Q'Tor, always hurry up and wait!
Fred says:
OPS: Assuming you have orders, no problem.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::begins shutting down the secondary engineering systems before the station engineers come aboard to begin their diagnostics::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::shows him her orders:: Fred: Will these do?
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: I'm in no hurry.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::looks around:: CNS: Indeed.
Fred says:
OPS: Looks fine to me, welcome aboard Ensign.
Adm. Knight says:
*FCO*: Dylan, please have your crew assemble in the cargo bay please. I will be on the bridge in a moment.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
*ADM*: Aye, sir. Senior staff on the bridge?
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
Fred: Thanks. Can you take me to your leader .. er Captain, please?
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::fingers her new toy that Q'tor gave, careful not to flex certain muscles to make it appear::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
Angeltra: OK, Tactical station locked down, give me a hand running through the checks on the other systems? Thanks.
Adm. Knight says:
*FCO*: Yes, please. ::steps into the TL::
Fred says:
OPS: Commander Roznine is currently in temporary command, and I believe he is on the Bridge at the moment.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::follows the Admiral into the TL::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::holds the door for the OPS::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
~~~ADM: Well, hurry up slow poke, I am getting old waiting for you!~~~
Adm. Knight says:
CO: So, any last misgivings before she's finally yours? ::grins::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
*ADM*: Aye, sir. ::toggles the shipwide channel again:: *ALL*: All ship personnel, assemble in Cargo Bay One. Senior staff to the bridge.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
Fred: Understood. I'll head to the bridge then. Thank you. ::rushes off to the TL where the door is being held for her:: CO: Thank you.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::mutters to himself:: Self: If you're not here already.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::turns as she hears Roz and sighs::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
OPS: You're welcome, Ensign.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::hears Roz' tone of voice and decides not to wise crack on that announcement::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
ADM: Nothing comes immediately to mind.. though I am getting a sudden urge to urinate.. ::grins:: I'll be fine. Thanks.
Adm. Knight says:
::chuckles:: CO: Hold that urge will ya Andrews.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::frowns slightly as he feels a second familiar mind::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
ADM: I was planning on it. There's a head just off the Bridge, anyway. ::smiles::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
FCO: Ship is reading as secure, Sir. Receiving reports that the Admiral is bringing one guest, and so far one new crew has arrived.
Adm. Knight says:
::as the TL stops, the door opens and he steps out onto the bridge::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
ALL: Admiral on the bridge! ::stands::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::snaps to attenion::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::straightens to attention::
Adm. Knight says:
::nods to Randi:: All: As you were.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::follows the Admiral off and looks at the officers, noticing the FCO with familiarity::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CTO: Thanks Ec'Thel... ::stops in mid sentence::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::relaxes:: ADM: Welcome back Admiral, you have been missed!
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::heads out of the TL and walks over to the FCO:: FCO:  Ens. Brandy Daniels, reporting for duty, Sir. ::salutes::
Adm. Knight says:
::looks over at Dylan and winks::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::pauses:: FCO: Roz?
Adm. Knight says:
::walks up and gives Randi a hug:: CNS: I've missed you too.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::blinks, wipes eyes and looks again, suddenly seeing Brandy in front of him:: OPS: Welcome. Can you wait a moment while the Admiral finishes his business.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::walks down the ramp::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::smiles:: CO: James?
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::hugs the Admiral back:: ADM: This feels very good, and I need about 100 more of them!
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
FCO:  Aye, Sir.
Adm. Knight says:
::laughs:: CNS: It can't be that bad, can it?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::smiles and nods:: FCO: How have you been? I see we've both been promoted since.. we last saw each other.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
ADM: Always Sir when you are gone!
Adm. Knight says:
CNS: I do have a lot to tell everyone about.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::straightens up and watches the Admiral and the new guy chatting with the others::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::stands at attention waiting for the FCO to address her::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::smiles and walks over:: CO: Good to see you. Yeah... Lt. Commander. Congratulations. ::shakes hands with him::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
ADM: Well we are all ears, sorta! ::grinning impishly at him::
Adm. Knight says:
CNS: In due time Counselor, in due time. ::grins::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::returns the handshake:: FCO: Still got the stock engine on the Huron, I assume? ::grins conspiratorially::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::stands watching everyone greet the Admiral and his guest::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CO: No way, didn't you see our racing stripes?
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CO: Yes, that stingy lot didn't want to give me the other one. I'm guessing the Admiral will tell us why you are here?
Adm. Knight says:
All: Okay, I don't want to waste a lot of time. I know you have a whole crew down in the cargo bay, so let me tell you why you are here.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Good to see you again, Ethan.~~~
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::looks to the CNS:: CNS: Must've missed them... ::looks back:: FCO: Well, can't have everything.
Adm. Knight says:
~~~FCO: Oh, didn't even think you noticed me.~~~ ::grins::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::steps out of the way and takes her CNS seat::
Adm. Knight says:
All: The Huron was called back so that she could take on more crew.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::can see a lot of grinning going on::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::turns to Ethan, nodding at James:: ~~~ADM: I noticed you before you set foot on board.~~~
Adm. Knight says:
All: One of those new crewmembers is your new Commanding Officer. Everyone, this is Lt. Cmdr. James Andrews.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::looks around:: All: Hi.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::hears the words, takes a moment to realise its importence and turns to Andrews:: CO: Sonofa... Congrats again!
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
CO: Captain, welcome aboard.  ::Makes note to thwap Fred upside the head for not warning of the arrival of a Captain.::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::chuckles:: FCO: Thanks, Roz. The tables have turned, it seems!
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CO: Welcome to the Huron Sir!
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::smiles and looks over at Icky and nods approvingly::
Adm. Knight says:
All: Now, if all of you can head down to the cargo bay, we can get the command ceremony underway.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::looks to the CTO:: CTO: Thank you, Commander.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::salutes the Captain::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CO: And HOW! I'll have to turn Command over to you formally in a short while then.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::back to the CNS:: CNS: I'm glad to be here; I've heard nothing but glowing references from Admiral Knight.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::returns the salute::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
*Scoo*: I need Alpha team arrayed for security detail in that Cargo Bay immediately.  When we get down there I want you guys in place.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
FCO: Sorry! ::grins::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
~~~ADM: You were aware of my and James's previous acquantance?~~~
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CO: Don't you believe a word of it Sir! ::smiling at him::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CO: You're welcome to it!
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::stands by the TL waiting for everyone to enter::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::laughs merrily at the CNS' comment::
Adm. Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Yes Dylan.~~~  ::heads to the TL::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
FCO: Couldn't take it? ::begins heading for the TL::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CIV: Q'tor, wait up and I will go down with you.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: Would you like to come with us? I know how it is to be new and not know anyone.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CO: This way, sir. ::herds him to the TL, making sure he stands next to Ethan:: I'm a pilot.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::lets the new CO and the rest of the officers take the first lift::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::steps just behind the Admiral, taking up an escort position::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: As you wish.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::whispers:: FCO: You and me both, Roz.
Adm. Knight says:
All: Now this is about the coziest I've been in any TL. ::laughs::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
~~~ADM: There is something you are not telling me yet.~~~
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
CNS:  Yes, Ma'am. My name is Brandy. ::Feels a little shy not sure of things just yet.::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: Well come on girl... it doesn't do to be shy around here.!
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::chuckles::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::stage whispers:: CO: I know, but now you have to watch me do the flying.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CEO: Holly would you like to come with us? This first load needs oil to move in!
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::smiles warmly at her, and follows her:: CNS: Thank you.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: I was waiting for everyone else to go so that they continue their conversations with the Admiral and the new CO.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: Brandy, I am Randi, and I can tell already this is going to be a name catastrophe! Welcome to the Huron.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::whispers back:: FCO: And how is that any different from last time? ::smiles::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::giggles a bit at the names:: Self:  Brandy and Randi, or is it Randi and Brandy? Never mind.

Jim Koeller says:
ACTION: The TL comes to a stop and the doors open.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CO: Not a single thing.
Adm. Knight says:
::steps out of the TL and heads to the cargobay::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
CEO: Are you coming with us Holly?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::grins:: FCO: Just keep us away from any stars, deal?
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
CNS: In a minute Randi......go ahead
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::steps into the TL and waits for Q'tor, Brandy and Holly::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CO: Deal! ::follows Ethan::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::follows the Admiral::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::follows the CNS into the TL::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::steps into the TL with the others::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::watches as the TL door closes:: CIV: Well this is a surprise, now we know why we were called back.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::points Barney and Betty to take up position on the Admiral and stops just inside the Cargo bay::
Adm. Knight says:
::waits outside the cargobay until all the bridge crew get there:: CO: It's almost time. ::grins::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::looks at a padd and places it under the engineering console and then heads for the lift::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::stays quiet in the TL::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: Indeed. When I arrived on board I had wondered about the ship heading out on a mission without a CO, and the XO incapacitated.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: Brandy, are you just out of the academy?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
ADM: Well, I'm not running yet..
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::steps in and calls for the cargobay deck::
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
CNS: Although Commander Roznine appears very capable
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CO: Too late, you are now in for it lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
CNS: Yes, I am. This is all new to me. I don't think the Academy really prepares you for how big a starship really is. I mean the holodecks are one thing. But this is the real thing.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
::watches as the TL doors open:: CIV/OPS: Shall we? ::walks into the cargo bay::
Adm. Knight says:
CO: And once you're in....this crew won't let you run anywhere! ::laughs:: Okay, who are we still missing?
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
::enters the Cargo Bay with the CNS and OPS::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
FCO: You only get out if you're crazy or dead? Sounds like fun! ::smiles::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::Follows the CNS and CIV into the cargobay.::

FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CO: If you're crazy, you get made Captain. And after that, Admiral. ::grins at Ethan.::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: Well this is a small ship, but I understand. It seems huge at first, but pretty soon, it becomes very small. Anything you need help with, just let me know.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::waits for the lift to stop, noting that she is the only one taking this ride::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::laughs:: FCO: Certainly explains how I got into this position..!
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::chuckles::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
CNS: This is a small ship? It's a lot bigger than I imagined. I suppose it's like being at the academy my first day. It's new. And thanks for your help, and your friendship. ::smiles.::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::steps out of the turbolift and heads towards the doors seeing all the people milling around at the entrance::
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: Yes she is very small. She only has 18 decks.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
OPS: I am Q'tor of the House of Qaveq, with Starfleet Intelligence. I am also fairly new to this ship. It is an honor to meet you.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::slips by the Admiral and enters the cargo bay and moves off to the side::
Adm. Knight says:
All: Okay, looks like everyone is here. Let's do this!
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
CEO: Hi, sorry, Admiral caught me without an available escort so I could wait behind with you.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
CIV: It is nice to meet you Q'tor. My name is Brandy Daniels. I guess it gets a little easier with time.
CNS Cmdr. McIntyre says:
OPS: I apologize, I should have introduced you to Q'tor.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::nods:: ADM: No time like the present.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::smiles at Icky:: CEO: I understand. I know that duty comes first.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
CNS: It's okay. I'm a little slow getting started, but I assure you once I get to know you and you get to know me .. well my initials spell BAD. That should say it all.
CIV Capt. Q'tor says:
OPS: As do all things Brandy Daniels.
Adm. Knight says:
::enters the cargo bay as the crew comes to attention and heads to the back where there is a clearing::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::enters the cargo bay with the rest of the senior staff::
Adm. Knight says:
::motions for the FCO and CO to join him up front::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::steps into the cargo bay, approaches the podium and holds up his PADD, reading from it:: All: To Lieutenant Commander James Andrews, Stardate 10504.23. You are hereby requested and required to take command of the USS Huron as of this date. Signed, Admiral Norman Fraser, Starfleet Command.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
All: You know, I've probably read this letter over a hundred times.. and I keep expecting it to be longer. Maybe some arcane ritual in a language no one understands anymore, done by torchlight. ::shrugs:: Ahh well.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
All: As you know, my name's James Andrews. I also go by Jamie. I've noticed that a few of you outrank me as far as the number of pips on our collars. However, I've been ordered to take command of this ship.
