Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the USS Huron …

The Flight Control Officer was met with an unusual prank, unknown to no one but her who was responsible.  She was called to the shuttle bay where a private viewing of the message was displayed for her in one of the shuttles.

As the message was displayed a stink bomb was set off and the Flight Control Officer was left with a very important message from Starfleet Intelligence:  Cease and desist any further contacts with their division or suffer the consequences.

Just when she thought things might be looking better, the Captain called the Flight Control Officer and the senior staff to the bridge for a surprise promotion.

And now the Huron has finally returned home to Starbase 71, where the Admiral and his son will be turned over to starbase security for the inquisition.  The Huron is five minutes from reaching the Starbase, and they are about to enjoy a much needed shore leave once all the reports and logs have been filed.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Huron in “Bits and Pieces”, Chapter Two, “Post nubila,” Stardate 10709.15

::On Bridge, making arrangements to transfer the Admiral as well as securing the ship during our time at station.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::In her office in main engineering sending her repair list to the station's engineering department.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Helm:  What’s our ETA?

Helm Parker says: 
CO:  Approaching Starbase 71.  Dropping from warp and reducing to impulse, Sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Prepare for final approach.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:;Doesn't like the smart answers she's getting back from the engineers.:: Self: These guys are going to mess up my ship. I can just tell.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Helm:  1/4 impulse.

Helm Parker says: 
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Prepares for final approach.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Contact starbase get us a docking birth.

Helm Parker says: 
XO:  Reducing speed to 1/4 impulse, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Arranges to have Starbase Security meet us at the secondary docking port, allowing the crew to exit from the primary as needed.::

OPS Mayweather says: 
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Contacts the starbase to inform them of their arrival.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Prepare to transfer to starbase power, so we can turn the ship over to them.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Javert*: I've contacted the Starbase.  They'll have a team to take the prisoner from us at the secondary port.  Security will secure the route, and we'll be ready for Transfer by the time we dock.  I'll signal you when ready.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Just have Operations notify me once we dock Sir, and I'll get it done.

OPS Mayweather says: 
XO:  I have received confirmation for docking.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: Very good, notify the Chief Engineering Officer when we are docked.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Helm:  Proceed, and take us in.

Helm Parker says: 
CO/XO:  Takes the Huron slowly into dock being careful not to scratch the hull.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  We've made arrangements to transfer the Admiral to Starbase Security.  We'll be making the transfer at the secondary docking port.  That will leave the primary port for departing crew.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  majqa.  The Admiral has enough problems without being a sideshow.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Has Martin begin preparing the shore leave rotation roster.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  You always have a habit of talking what you are doing.

Helm Parker says: 
CO/XO:  Docking complete, Sirs.  Waiting for Chief Engineering Officer to transfer power to the station, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Transfer to station power.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye sir, plus we'd rather keep the area clear.  Congested corridors beg for "transfer problems."

Admiral Morgan says: 
::Waits patiently with his son in Sickbay, waiting to be escorted to the station.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*OPS*:  Mayweather, you may transfer over to station power now.  You have full control.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Security*:  Final check, is the path clear?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Steps out into the main bay and taps the controls to make the switch.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  And remember Commander, be prepared to report to the inquiry when they call you.

Security says: 
*CTO*:  All clear.

OPS Mayweather says: 
*CEO*:  Aye, Ma'am.  Transferring to station power now.  ::Connects to the station power and waits for confirmation from the Starbase that everything is secure.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  We are docked and secure.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Sir? I'll be ready, but as I wasn't there I don't think I will have much to say.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Javert*: Prepare to begin the transfer; path to secondary port is clear.  I'll be there shortly.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO/ XO: Permission to go escort the Admiral to Starbase Security?

OPS Mayweather says: 
::Closes down his station, and waits for the order to leave.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*:  Granted.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  I know that, but they do not.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Commander, you have the bridge.  Make sure the entire crew has a chance for shore leave.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Heads to the turbo lift.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Understood Commander. I'll make myself available then.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Begin shore leave of all personnel; have department heads check in and have a schedule for each department.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
ALL: Enjoy the much needed time off.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Wonders if she'll ever get to spend time with Icky.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Hands the Tactical Shutdown to Angeltra and heads for Sickbay.::

OPS Mayweather says: 
XO:  Aye, Commander.  ::Sends the shore leave schedule to all departmental heads.::  XO:  Schedule has been sent to departmental heads, Sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Enters his quarters::

OPS Mayweather says: 
XO:  Will you require my presence on the bridge, Commander?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
chopwI': chopwI' ghoS

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  No, go ahead enjoy your time.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters Sickbay.::  Admiral: Sir, I'm here to escort you to the Starbase.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Watches as all crewmen shut down there consoles.::

OPS Mayweather says: 
XO:  Thank you, Commander.  I'll be checking back at next rotational shift.  Have fun.

Helm Parker says:
::Closes his console down and heads for the Turbolift.::

Admiral Morgan says:
CTO:  I am ready, Commander.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Finishes with a last minute check of the systems and heads back to her office.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Admiral:  Not how I wanted this to end, Sir.  
*Security*: We're starting the escort; let us know if anything is out of place.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Sir, shore leave has begun.  I'll be disembarking in a short while.

Admiral Morgan says:
CTO:  I know, Commander.  I am sorry that I put your life in jeopardy.  My boy means everything to me, and I guess I just wasn't in the right state, and wasn't prepared for what I saw.

Samantha says: 
::Waits patiently in her quarters for Toir to return, hoping he's not stuck with the first rotation.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::With his ocelot cradled in his arm, he leaves his quarters headed for the primary docking port.::  *XO*: Very well.  Enjoy yourself, Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Walks into the Turbolift and heads to deck 7 to grab Sam.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Admiral:  No need to apologize, Sir.  We needed a landing party anyhow.  I just wonder how the inquiry can take place, considering what I know about the mission.  But that's for others more experienced to deal with.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Comes to his quarters’ door and opens it.::  Sam:  You ready?  You've been looking forward to this.

Admiral Morgan says:
CTO: I would imagine they will be just wanting reports on your end, Commander.  And then if they have any questions concerning those reports, they would call you in for questioning.  ::Pauses.::  Shall we go then?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Throws a couple of pads on her desk and heads out of the office.::  Martin: I'm off for the day, but if you need me just com me.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Admiral:  Aye sir.  Let's.  I'll respond to the inquiry as best I can I suppose.  ::Walks towards the Security secured Turbo Lift, taking it towards the secured exit.::

Samantha says:
::Looks up, and then pulls herself up off the chair, reaching up to give him a big hug.::  XO:  I'm ready when you are.  I've been looking forward to some down time with you, more than you know.  ::Grins.::

EO Martin says: 
CEO: Okay Holly, and say hi to Commander Ec`Thel`lon for me. ::Grins and gives her a thumbs up.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam: Then let’s not waste any time.  ::Leads her out the door on the way to the primary airlock.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Heads to her quarters to find Jessie on the floor with her kitty.::

Admiral Morgan says:
::Follows the Chief Tactical Officer, feeling a bit cramped at the extra security that he knows awaits him.::  CTO:  Thank you for your discreteness, Commander.  That does mean a lot to me.  Hopefully the station media won't be all over this.  I'm not sure how much of this has gotten home.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Gets to the Docking port.::  Admiral: I hope things aren't completely dark for you, Sir.  And from what I've heard, I don't think Starfleet will let the media know.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks inside and over to the girl.:: Jessie:  Well young lady, and just what have you been up to all day?  ::Sits down on the floor beside her.::

Admiral Morgan says:
::Reaches the docking port with the Chief Tactical Officer, and waits for the door to open, taking a deep breath.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Starbase Security: We are turning the Admiral over to your care.

Starbase Security says: 
@CTO:  Thank you, Commander.  We'll take him from here.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Admiral:  May your walls hold off the elements, Admiral.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Reaches the airlock walking with the rest of the crew debarking.::  Sam:  What do you want to do first?  ::Pauses::  I have never been one for shore leave.

Admiral Morgan says:
@::Nods to the Chief Tactical Officer and goes with the Starbase security.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Reaches the docking port and departs the ship.::

@ACTION:  The starbase security head off with the Admiral.

Jessie says:
CEO:  Hi Mommy. I just got back from school and that mean Miss Legend made us do three hours of stellar mapping because Robbie said the "B" word. I hate Robbie!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CO*: Transfer has been complete.  With your permission, I'm going to head off duty.

Samantha says:
@XO:  I am starved!  I am so hungry for one of those soft pretzels they sell on the station.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*:  By all means, Commander.  You and Commander Sparks have a good time.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam: Pretzels?  Okay, where would you find that.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessie:  Now you don't really hate Robbie, honey. You just don't like stellar mapping.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: Aye Sir, you do the same.  See you soon I'm sure.  ::Heads back into the ship.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Wrapped up here, I'm on my way.

Jessie says:
CEO:  I do so!  Robbie is ......... ::pauses as Icky calls her::  

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Can't wait Icky and neither can Jessie. See you soon.

Samantha says:
@XO:  Well, right next to all the shops .. of course.  ::Grinning at him.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  Lead the way.  ::Wondering what you do with a pretzel.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*: Whoever has first shift, and it better not be you, have them do a full shutdown of the Tactical systems so Starbase crews can do what they need.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Arrives at Chief Engineering Officer's quarters and knocks.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks up and calls out.:: *CTO*: Come in, Icky.

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  This way.  Heads for a Turbolift and waits for the Executive Officer to enter before ordering it to the main floor where all the shops are located.  I could use some new clothing too.  ::Winks at him.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Steps in.::  CEO: I'm not sure if I've ever looked forward to a shore leave this much.  ::Walks over and hugs her.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Finds his favorite Klingon establishment and goes in::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hugs him back and reaches up to kiss him.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  Don't you have enough clothes, and wouldn't it be much better to go over to the Klingon shop?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Wanna head to the station, or do you have something else in mind?

Jessie says:
::Covers her eyes.::  CEO/CTO:  Ewwww, do you have to do that?  Children shouldn't see that stuff.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie:  That's why children have eye lids.  ::Smiles.::

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  Actually, my clothing is getting rather small.  Points to her belly sticking out of her shirt slightly.  I think your son is making me crave some really weird things by the way.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@Proprietor:  FIRE WINE! You son of a smooth headed wench!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks at Jessie and laughs.:: CTO: Seems we have a budding comedian here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  If you wish.  ::Grumbling.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: The station sounds fine unless you have something you'd like to do.

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  Now honey, doctor did say pamper me.  But I'll tell you what. ::Takes his arm:: ... Why don't we go to that Klingon shop after?  You deserve some good stuff too.  You've been working very hard.

Proprietor D’am says: 
@CO:  Q'tor HoD you old HaDIbaH!  When did you get in?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I think we should start on the station.  See if anything new has come in to look at, or at least to get some leg stretching done.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Still grumbling.::  Sam:  That would be fine, though I need nothing, Just an ugly face to look at.  I do like seeing more than just our Captain.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  I like that idea.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@D'am:  My ship just docked.  Now do I get the fire wine or not? And throw in some Durangdu'lIr.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessie:  Coming Jessie?  I'm sure we can find something interesting for you there too.

Host Samantha says:
@::Holds her stomach.:: XO:  I think I need that pretzel first though.  I have this unusual craving for Ghagh, and that just makes me want to barf.  I think that's your son again.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie: Yup, let's make an adventure of it.  See what civilian life has to offer in amenities.  Uh, luxuries.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::As D'am brings the fire wine and crunchy munchies chowI' flattens her ears on her head and hisses.::

Jessie says:
CEO: Really? I mean I can really go to the station? 
CTO: What's a luxury?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@D'am: Oh and bring a bowl of water for chopwI'

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Perks up.::  Sam: Ghagh, now you’re talking.  And I can think of some really good dishes you should try.

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  My cravings are telling me Ghagh, but my head is telling me to make it a pretzel.  Oh, here's the pretzel stand up ahead.  You have GOT to try one of these!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie:  Things that you don't need, but make life more comfortable, or fun, or easier.

Jessie says:
::Gets up off the floor and grabs Icky's hand.:: CTO: But I have everything I want, well except.... ::giggles.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  For you, I'm sure Durang Du’ llr would be best.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie:  No one has everything they want, even if they're happy.  
CEO: Ready?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to Icky and starts for the door.::

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  Ewwww!  ::Taps his arm slightly.::  That's disgusting, Toir!  Please tell me you don't eat that stuff.  ::Orders a pretzel for Toir and herself, and pays with a credit stick.::  Here, you have got to try this.  ::Takes a bite.::  Chewy, warm and good!

Jessie says:
::Tugs at the Chief Tactical Officer's hand.:: CTO: Icky, when can I call you daddy?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie: If you want, you could do it now I guess.  Officially, well, we need to get with our parents and families and old friends to try and set up a date.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Looks at is funny.:: Sam: It looks so plain.  I am not fond of what you call bread.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::D'am brings the bowl of water and sets it down in front of chopwI' who again hisses and swats at him scratching him.::

Jessie says:
CTO: A date? What does that mean?

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  Just try it.  Maybe you'll like it.  Then I'll try your Durang Du' llr, or whatever you call it .. maybe ::Grinning.::

Proprietor D’am says: 
@::Sitting down opposite Q'tor.::  Q'tor:  Feisty beast, isn't it?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Smiling.::  D'am:  She likes you.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie:  Well, we're going to be married soon, but we have to make sure that everyone who wants to be there can be.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessie:  Jessie, enough with the questions for now.  Let's go and have some fun.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Takes a bite and chews it up.::  Sam : It ...is .... alright.

Host Samantha says:
@::Chuckles.::  XO:  I suppose you like sweeter things.  ::Winks at him.::  Let's head for that Klingon shop you were talking about.  Then we'll go get some clothing for me.

Jessie says:
::Pulls Icky down and whispers in his ear.:: CTO: Will you tell me all about married when we get home?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Walks to the Starbase.::  Jessie: Sure will.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Opens the door.::  Jessie/CTO:  You two coming?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  Now that would be much better.  ::Walks off with her on his arm heading to the Klingon place.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  We're coming, we're coming.  ::Picks up Jessie and catches up.::

Jessie says:
::Giggles as she gets carried.::

Host Samantha says:
@::Follows Toir to the Klingon place.::  XO:  Remember we still have to check into our temporary quarters on the starbase too.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Crosses over into the Starbase.::

@ACTION:  As the Chief Tactical Officer crosses over into the Starbase, he is met by several security guards who approach him.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  No worries.  I'm sure the Operations Officer was taking care of it, or at least he had better.

Security Guard #1 says: 
@CTO:  Excuse me, Commander, but are you not the Chief Tactical Officer of the Huron?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Downs his fire wine.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Security guard: I am, can I help you?

Security Guard #1 says: 
@CTO:  Were you not supposed to deliver the Admiral to us?

Proprietor D’am says: 
@Q'tor:  Good thing I brought the bottle.

Host Samantha says:
@XO:  He better, or I will have his hide.  Now let's go get you some trinkets!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Walks in the place and sees the Captain sitting at a table.::  Sam: and look who is here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Takes Jessie.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Security Guard 1: He was transferred at the secondary docking port, maybe 20 minutes ago.

Host Samantha says:
@CO:  Hi Captain, I see you've found the best place on the station, Sir.  Seems Toir is attracted to it as well.  I'm guessing I'll be the designated driver here.  ::Winks wondering if the Captain will understand what she is talking about.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: qaSuj'a' ( am I disturbing you?)

Security Guard #1 says: 
@CTO:  No one from our security office has received him.  It appears we have a problem then.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@Security Guard: I suggest you contact our Captain and discuss this with him.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*Huron Security*:  Bring up the visuals from the Transfer point, we may need them, pronto.

@ACTION:  The Security Guard taps his comm badge and a Station Alert goes out immediately.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@Samantha/Toir:  Meet the proprietor of this run down trash bin of an establishment. D'am.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@D'am: This is my first officer Commander Naug and his fiancée'

Security Guard #1 says: 
@CEO:  I plan to, Ma'am.  Security sweeps are being initiated to search for the Admiral.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@D'am:  And what a dump it is.  ::Looking around and laughing.::

Host Samantha says:
@::Waits for Toir to respond, out of respect.::

Host Samantha says:
@::Nods to D'am.::

Proprietor D’am says: 
@Naug:  A dump it may be, but this p'taH you call a Captain always returns because he knows I have the finest Klingon cuisine outside of the Empire.
