<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sitting in his quarters, trying to figure out how he is going to pack everything.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Walking through the Starbase, happy to be home.::  CEO: It's good to be back, let's us move things ahead again.  But we'll need to start for the Admiral's dinner soon.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::taking one last look at her uniform::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at the shops as they pass :: CTO: You know, maybe we should think about opening a shop here someday. :: smiles and winks ::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: In hers and the Admiral's quarters on base, quietly holding Braeden.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::Enroute to the banquet hall::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::glances over his shoulder, seemingly looking at the blank wall, where he can feel Sky back to normal again::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Well, ::then sighs::  I think this is the best I can do.  See ya in a little while.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Sure, we can get one of the Monkey Rum shops.  ::Smiles back.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Why does he always have to be so formal for these things?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::petting Baby, she turns and walks out of her bedroom, through the living area and out her doors::
ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  So have you adjusted?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: It's part of the job, put's structure into our otherwise chaotic world.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Are you almost ready?~~~
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::gazing out a window looking at all the starships in the starbase::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up::  Adm: Adjusted?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks a little faster remembering the dinner :: CTO: Well it's just plain silly. All this fuss over nothing.
ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  Yes, you were in that library for so long, I just want to make sure everything's okay.  ::smiles::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::snaps out of his reverie:: ~~~CNS: Have been for an hour. Meet you at the docking port.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Enters the Banquet Hall and stands by the entrance awaiting the arrival of his crew::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  How about the dining room?  I am lazy tonight.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Depends on the point of view.  We did find our way back from "Over There", out of the well travelled space.  I'm sure that we were close to being counted among the lost, if not there officially.
 
ACTION:  The banquet hall is filled with people sitting at tables....there is a band playing in the background.

CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Slightly absentmindely::  Adm: Time was... not the same there as it is here.  :: Wonders where Dylan is and how he is doing.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Very well, see you there.~~~ ::he gets up and exits his quarters, heading for the TL::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::taking her time, she looks at the starbase so she will remember what everything looks like::
ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  Are you and Braeden almost ready?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods :: CTO: I suppose I shouldn't complain so much, but I was hoping for a nice quiet dinner with you tonight.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Well, we could still do that...after.  ::Grins.::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::remembers he's supposed to be going to that dinner and starts heading towards the banquet hall::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stands up::  Adm: Umm... yes.  I guess so.  :: Turns to just look at him, her mind lightly brushing his through their bond.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::looks around uncomfortably at all the people sitting at the tables::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pokes his arm :: CTO: Then let's get this over with....fast!
ADM_Knight says:
::smiles::  CSO:  And you look lovely I might add.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks out the door hoping someone from the Huron hurries and arrives::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Right, let's go then?  ::Reaches and takes her hand.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::walking down the corridor, she sees the room number and turns to go inside, then see the Captain at the door::  CO:  Captain.  May I have a moment of your time later?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Well if we must..:: grabs his hand :: but I'm going to hold you to some quality time after this. :: winks ::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: A gentle smile lights her face::  Adm: Thank you... :: moves to slip her hand around his arm, Braeden tightly held in her other arm.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Counselor you may have a moment of my time whenever you wish.  The Admiral never told me that this was going to be such a large gathering.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: You'd have to hold me away.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, the Admiral loves to have big parties.  ::looking at all the people in attendance::
ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  And it appears Braeden will be the most handsome man there.  Shall we?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: So it seems. I suppose I have to make nice with everyone here.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Are you sure you're not really a Betazoid inside there? You are awfully romantic.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Adm: I believe you are biased sir.  :: Walks with him out of their quarters and down the hall.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::cannot help but smiling::  CO:  Captain that would be nice.  I am sure the majority of these people are still afraid of Klingons.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Nope, no mind reading here.  Just very glad to be with you.  Always at every moment.
ADM_Knight says:
::arrives at the hall::  CSO:  Ladies first.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: I'll leave the 'diplomacy' to you.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: A true gentleman. :; looks around :: I don't see anyone else yet.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Walks in, shifting her son a bit to lighten his stranglehold around her neck.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Admiral:  Good to see you and Sierra together.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CSO/ADM: Commander, Admiral. ::Bows his head slightly::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: It's a crowded room it seems.  Maybe the rest are inside?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::wanders around the room, managing to not speak to anybody::
ADM_Knight says:
::gives Randi a hug::  CNS:  I am also glad to see you.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::walks into the banquet hall and then steps back as he notices the size of the crowd attending::
ADM_Knight says:
::extends his arm::  CO:  Captain, good to have you and your crew back.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods to the captain a greeting.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::spots Ethan and Sky, and walks over to them::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Shakes the Admirals hand and signals for Ensign Sahen to stay right where he is.:: ADM: Thank you Admiral.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Thank you Ethan.  ::returns the hug::  I need a moment of yours and the Captain's time before this shindig gets started.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks inside :: CTO: Yep, they're all inside.
ADM_Knight says:
CNS:  Sure, shall we step aside now while everyone is getting situated?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Walks in.::  CEO: This is a lot bigger than I expected.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  That would be perfect Sir.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Dylan, a smile lighting her eyes as well as feeling a lessening of Braeden's hold around her neck.::
 ADM_Knight says:
All:  If you will excuse us for just a moment.  ::walks outside the banquet hall::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::waiting for the Admiral and the Captain to lead the way;:
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::starts to walk but notices the captain and stops::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ADM: Sir I'd like you to meet the newest member of the bridge crew, Ensign Sahen.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers :: CTO: So where are we supposed to sit?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::raises his eyebrow at Ethan leaving with Randi and Q'tor:: ~~~CSO: Nothing serious, I hope?~~~
ADM_Knight says:
::yells out::  CSO:  Sierra, please lead the Huron crew to the front table.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I don't know, never been one of those something like this was dedicated too.  I'd guess with the rest of the Senior staff?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO: I think I can breath again... :: looks up and nods::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
All: If you will please... :: turns toward the front table and walks down the isle.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins, then enfolds her in his arms, happy to have a flesh and blood sister in front of him again::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm/CO:  Sirs, I would like to tender my resignation effective immediately.  There are many factors for this action.  While here, I received word that I am now in charge of the money my parents left me.  Varesh has confirmed this.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: points to two empty seats :: CTO: There's two.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Sounds like we should be at the front table it seems.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ FCO: Thank you again for taking such good care of Braeden.  I do not know how he would have adjusted loosing all of us.~~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm/CO:  This last trip has been very hard on me emotionally and mentally.  With the losses we have suffered, I feel I no longer can function as the Counselor of the Huron.
ADM_Knight says:
::looks at the CO::  CNS:  Are you sure Randi?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I see Braeden is determined to strangle you. ~~~As for looking after him... I will do it whenever you require it of me, if I am able to do so.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: First Commander Roznine, and now you?  Am I going to have a crew left?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~FCO: I know you will...~~~~ :: Takes a seat and waits for the proceedings to begin.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, it has been my privilege to serve with you.  I know you will understand.  I want to return to archeology and pick up where my parents left off.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sits down next to
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Sky::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::puts his hands behind his back and twiddles his thumbs patiently::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: jIyaj. I don't like it, but yes, I understand.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves to an empty chair at the front and motions to Icky to sit :: CTO: At least we have a great view from here.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm/CO:  I have thought long and hard about this.  I have lost so many friends over the years.  When it seemed we might not return for several years, it brought it home to me.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I don't know if Ethan has told you yet, but I requested a transfer.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::sits.::  CEO: Yeah, it's kind of interesting to be on this side.  Makes me feel like we're here to give some kind of lecture or something.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: It has been an honor to serve with you Commander.  You will be sorely missed.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly::  FCO: He did... but he did not say why.  ~~~~ Why?~~~~
ADM_Knight says:
CNS:  And Randi, you will keep in touch, won't you?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you Sir.  And I will make sure you have another counselor that will keep you in line!  ::grinning;:
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  As often as I can Ethan.  I intend to find some really remote digs, and hopefully get my peace of mind back.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Hmph.  If you ever find yourself on Qo'noS, look me up.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks in at the now filled banquet room::  CO/CNS:  I believe we should get inside and get this started.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I will do that!  I want to meet your wife as I now have a body to meet her with! ::laughing::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CSO: Sky, I'm a pilot, first and foremost, and while flying a starship is great, its not where my heart lies. I want to get back to smaller craft - maybe go teach at the Academy... who knows?~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Nods at the Admiral::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: You heard the Admiral Ensign. Let's go.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks over at OPS::  OPS:  My apologies Ensign, nice to meet you.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow::  ~~~~FCO: You will make a good teacher... you have a lot of patience.~~~~
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
ADM: Thats quite alright admiral, a pleasure to meet you as well.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CSO/FCO:  Well, it seems I will be leaving the Huron.  Ethan and Q'tor have accepted my resignation.~~~  :;begins walking inside, but heads for the bar and not a table::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: watches the crowd mingling :: CTO: Looks like this might take a while.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::walks over towards the table::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Yeah, probably will.  Want something to drink maybe?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Follows after the Admiral to the front table::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CNS: I am not surprised... however, you are going the wrong way.  The admiral asked that we sit at the front table.  Now if I can do it and survive, I know you can.~~~~
ADM_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Randi, as my last order, you need to join us all at the table.~~~  ::grins::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CSO:  I am not fit company at this moment Sierra.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Takes a deep breath and looks at Dylan::  ~~~~FCO: Change is always hard it seems.~~~~
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::finds an empty seat and carefully sits in it::
ADM_Knight says:
::arrives at the table and looks around at everyone::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I think I'll wait a little. I'm anxious to hear what the Admiral has to say.
ADM_Knight says:
CEO:  Good to see you again Holly.  ::smiles::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Takes a seat at the head table, nodding to his crew::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bartender:  Betazed wine, room temperature.  I think I am going to tie one on tonight.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nods at Sky:: ~~~CSO: Change is hard indeed. But the only constant.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Adm: Sir, it's good to see you.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; stands :: ADM: Admiral, a pleasure as well sir.
ADM_Knight says:
CTO:  Glad to have you back as well Ec`Thel`lon.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::taking the wine, she moves to the table and takes the empty chair she assumes if for her;:
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks away:: ~~~~FCO: Leaving is harder.~~~~
ADM_Knight says:
CEO:  Please Holly, stay seated.
ADM_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Dylan, I've missed you dear friend.~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CSO: It will not be for a while... I have reasons to stay on the station until the Huron returns from its next mission.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles and sits again :: ADM: Thank you sir. I see that Sierra is well and in good spirits.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Ethan, I have missed you as much. There is much for us to talk about... many things to discuss.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at him, waiting for clarrification of that comment.::
ADM_Knight says:
CEO:  Yes Holly.  As you can understand, it's good to have her back.  I've heard about you two.....congratulations to you both.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: blushes slightly :: ADM: Thank you Admiral. We're very happy. :: looks over at Icky ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Adm: Thank you sir, I just wish I wouldn't have waited so long.
ADM_Knight says:
All:  Well, I think we need to get this started so that everyone can start eating sooner.  ::heads to the front of the hall::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Sky, you remeber the medic that looked after me that time I hit my head? ::he lets the unsaid hanging::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Catching her name, looks over at Holly and nods, noting the blush on her face.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO: Ahhh...
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::takes a sip of the wine, and makes a face, as she forgot what she ordered and expected it to be juice::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: But I need to put some of my ghosts to rest, and we will discuss things after the Huron returns.
ADM_Knight says:
All:  Can I have everyone's attention please!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::looks up and smiles::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Focuses on the Admiral.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Turns and faces the Admiral::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and shifts to look at her husband.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns to look at Ethan, wondering what he's got up his sleeve now::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: holds Icky's hand and watches Ethan speak ::
ADM_Knight says:
All:  This isn't intended to embarrass the crew on the Huron, but on behalf of the entire Federation, I would just like to say.....Welcome Home!  ::smiles at the group::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CSO:  You know I will miss you.  Next time, stay out of holograms you don't know anything about.~~~ ::grinning mentally::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Tries to look gracious as the crowd of people applaud::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Shifts Braeden to sit more on her lap then hanging around her neck.::  ~~~~ CNS: Hey... it was fine and if not for the luck of a wormhole, it actually would have gotten us home.  Besides... I consider it...an experience~~~~ :: Her mental tone much serious and sadder:: ~~~~ CNS: I will miss you too Randi.~~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::leans over and whispers::  CO:  Smile Captain, not grimace!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: leans over and whispers in Icky's ear ::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lightens the mood::  ~~~~ CNS: At the same time, we will have your name sake to always remember you.~~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: ::whispers:: I am smiling.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::looks at Sierra and begins to grin::  ~~~CSO:  Smarty pants!~~~
ADM_Knight says:
Huron Crew:  Now, if I could have you all stand up.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine_ says:
::gets up with the rest of the crew::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: slowly stands ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks over at CEO, then rises.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow at Randi and follows the admirals request, standing.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::pushes back from the table and stands as the Admiral requests::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Now feeling even more uncomfortable stands up as requested::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:

ADM_Knight says:

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  It is Roz... you will be gone, Sierra will be gone, and I will be gone.~~~
OPS_Sahen says:
ADM:  Thank you, Sir.  ::Watches as the Admiral pins on the medal.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nearly gets whiplash as he looks over at Randi:: ~~~CNS: What?!~~~
OPS_Sahen says:
::Gives the Admiral a salute.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ FCO: I am afraid it is... that constant called change.  But our leaving does not mean we will never see each other again... I do not give up on my family so easily.~~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  I mentally told you earlier, but you ignored me.~~~
ADM_Knight says:
OPS:  Don't go anywhere Ensign.  It is also my honor to promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, along with all the responsibilities thereof.  Congratulations.  ::pins pips on his collar::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CSO: I told you I will be around for a bit.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I'm not at all worried about that.  I have my position regardless, and I have you, which is all that matters.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: I was preoccupied... I'm sorry.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Glances down the line to Sahen with a 'don't get cocky' look::

OPS_Sahen says:
::Notes the stare from the CO, and grins an evil smile.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Varesh has released the money my parents left me.  There has been so many deaths and this last mission not knowing if we would get home, made up my mind.  The Admiral and Captain have accepted my resignation.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Well you're stuck with me for a long time. I'd say a good fifty years or more. :: giggles ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::wolf whistles for the Captain::  CO:  Way to go Sir!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ADM: Thank you sir. I owe my success as Commanding Officer to my crew.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: We came to the same conclusion, for different reasons. Though I'm not resigning, just transferring.~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: About time, I'd say!
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: Aye sir... congratulations.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Congratulations Sir, it's well earned.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:

OPS_Sahen says:
CNS:  Thank you, Commander.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::smiles at her final and last Captain::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: Thank you sir.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Crew: The last year has been extremely difficult for us all, so far away from family and friends, not knowing when we would make it back.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Crew:  I swore to you when I took over the Commanding Officers duties that I would get you home or die trying.  Well, here we are.  But I couldn't have done it without you.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: yells out :: CO: Qa’pla, Captain!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Crew: And now that we are home, there will be some changes on the Huron.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
