<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Kerst says:
::In Operations, sitting in his chair::

CEO_Masters says:
::At the engineering console in Operations::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Tugs on his uniform and holds his PADD beside him with his report on it. Starts to walk out of Sickbay::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Works on her console in main Operations::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Have all senior officers and department heads report to the Briefing room for the staff meeting.

OPS_Spicer says:
::In Operations at his console::

CNS_Alana says:
Standing next to CO giving him the final report of what happened in sickbay with the prisoner::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir. *Station wide*: All senior officers and dept heads are to report immediately to the Briefing Room.

CEO_Masters says:
::Goes into the Briefing Room as ordered::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Thank you for the report, ::Pauses to get lost in her eyes:: If you'll excuse me a moment there is something I need to attend to before the meeting. I'll see you in the Briefing Room.

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Locks down her console and nods to the TO, walks to the Briefing room::

CNS_Alana says:
CO:...So, Sir, that seems to be all I can add.  I will see you in the Briefing Room.  ::Nods as the CO gets up out of his chair::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks over to the turbolift and steps inside, looking around then down at the control panel, punching in Operations on the controls::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Goes to the Briefing Room::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Sits in a chair in the Briefing Room with a sigh::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Pauses again, take another long look into Alana's eyes before heading for his Ready Room::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Sits at his place::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks off of the turbolift and then heads into the Briefing Room looking around at the assembled crew::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks into Briefing Room, passing by CTO on the way in, places her hand on her shoulder::  CTO: How are you?

XO_Marek says:
:.throws some PADDs over his desk and heads to Main OPS and rushes towards the Briefing Room since he is kind of late::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Enters his Ready Room, scowls at the orders from Starfleet Command and the reports he still has to do.  Heads for the cabinet and opens it, retrieving a polished wooden box::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
CNS: A little tirrred, but okay?  Yourrrself?

XO_Marek says:
::Enters the Briefing Room and takes his seat::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Sits down in an empty chair and looks around the table, worn out, and happy to be able to relax::

CEO_Masters says:
::Takes a seat at the table::

XO_Marek says:
::Nods to the rest of the officers assembled there::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Nods to the others as they enter and sit::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Counts to ten, then exits his Ready room and glances around OPS to ensure everyone is in the Briefing Room::

CNS_Alana says:
CTO:  A little tired myself, but ready to finish all my reports and go get some R&R in.  How about you, ready to play for a while?

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Heads for the Briefing Room::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
CNS: Looking forrrwarrrd to not having to play babysitterrr forrr a while. ::Grins::

CNS_Alana says:
::Smiles and nods then takes her seat::

CEO_Masters says:
All: I have a huge Holosuite combat simulation programmed.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Grins at the CEO at the mention of the Holosuite::

XO_Marek says:
CEO: Sounds Interesting, count me in please.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Enters the Briefing Room and heads for the head of the table. Gently places the box on the corner of the table and looks over the crew::

CEO_Masters says:
XO: You know tae kwon do?  The setting is in ancient Korea, in the time of the Chosun Dynasty.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Watches the CO::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Looks up at the Captain::

CEO_Masters says:
::Looks at the Captain::

XO_Marek says:
CEO: Interesting... ::Notices the CO entering and snaps into attention::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks up as Captain takes his place at head of table::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Notices the CO's demeanor and stands at attention::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks up at the CO and readies himself for his reports::

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: As you were.

CEO_Masters says:
::Returns to his seat::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Takes his seat::

XO_Marek says:
::Nods at the CO and sits again::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stays as she was::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Crosses her legs and puts her paws in her lap, listening attentively::

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: I know you're all anxious to get on with you R&R but we do have some work to do around here.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Listens and taps his PADD against the table gently::

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: First off, we'll start with status reports from the departments.

XO_Marek says:
::Crosses his hands and puts them over the edge of the table, with an smooth movement::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Doctor why don't you start.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around the table and nods to the CO::

CMO_Sovok says:
All: Well, since we've returned from our last... skirmish... there have been quite a few interesting situations as I'm sure you are all aware of. The total number of killed and injured during the fight on Kezlaria.

CMO_Sovok says:
(Sorry, hit wrong button)

XO_Marek says:
::Waits for the Doctor's report and mentally goes over his agenda for the rest of the day::

CMO_Sovok says:
Is still being tabulated. From what we can tell the dead now stand at six and the inured in the thirties. Not bad numbers considering what we were up against.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Nods::

CMO_Sovok says:
All: As for my current situation, I'm trying to figure out what was causing my patient to fluctuate randomly through temporal distortions... I'm not sure now how it happened, but every time I thought I had it under control, the problem would crop up again.. I haven't been informed what happened to that patient of mine, but the next moment,

CMO_Sovok says:
I looked over and he was gone.  I assumed his other friends removed him, but nonetheless it was a little upsetting to have my current research project removed so suddenly. I think it was more along the lines of an individual disturbance than a disease or disorder that could happen to massive amounts of people.

CMO_Sovok says:
I think it's also safe to say that whoever was on board that ship would experience similar symptoms once removed from its environment.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: I see…

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around and nods at the CO again:: CO: That's all I have right now, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Thank you.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CEO: And now the Engineering report.

CEO_Masters says:
CO: The chronoton shielding has been repaired and all other systems are running at peak efficiency.  That's it, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CEO: Thank you.

CEO_Masters says:
::Slaps sides and bows:: CO: Thank you, SIR!

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Operations?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Clears his throat:: CO: The station is currently finalizing repairs with the lower decks ::Looks to the CEO for confirmation:: and the docking bay repairs were completed yesterday. All operational systems are nominal.

XO_Marek says:
::Listens to the reports::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: This month we have received 67 ships of various types, both Starfleet supply and independent merchants.  We have given aide and repair to 22 vessels and our supply inventory is currently at 84%.

CEO_Masters says:
OPS: They're complete, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Starfleet Command has been apprised of the last situation and all intelligence has been sent to them as well.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Nods::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Nods to the CO to let him know he is done::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Thank you.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CTO: Security and Tactical?

CTO_R`Vellan says:
CO: Yes, Sirrr.  All of the securrrity teams have been attending rrregularrr trrrainings and I have also rrrun some drrrills of my own. Currently the Brrrig is only 8% full.  We brrroke up Dilandou Albatou's drrrug rrring...again.

CEO_Masters says:
::Looks strangely at the CTO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CTO: Permanently this time?

CTO_R`Vellan says:
CO: We confiscated some contrrraband frrrom a Terrrallian trrraderrr, and yes he's in the Brrrig.

XO_Marek says:
::Thinks:: Self: 8% full?  Interesting figure. ::Taps on his PADD::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
CO: I hope so, Sirrr, he has a Cochrrran for a lawyerrr.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Chuckles at Bao's comment::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
CO: It's prrretty much business as usual, Sirrr.

CEO_Masters says:
CTO: You mean the father of warp speed has a descendant who's a mouthpiece?

Host CO_Kerst says:
CTO: Thank you.

XO_Marek says:
::Recalls his days as a Tactical Officer:: Self:: thinks:: Good old days...

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Raises one eyebrow and looks at the CEO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Counselor?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, since we have been back on the station, I have assembled my relief staff and tried to catch up on the situations here and I have perceived a lot of unusual unrest here, and even more so since this last situation... 

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Understandable.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: But I am currently doing more crew evaluations than usual and hope to get everyone back to a real normality pretty soon...

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Tries not to smile too much as he listens to her speak::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: I think everyone needs a rest from their usual duties and am prescribing some to take vacations as well.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, if a little more frequency in the R&R times could be afforded I think the station crew would perform a little more smoothly.  Some of them have not taken a vacation in almost a year.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: I'll take it under advisement. Anything else?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: No, Sir, That is all for now.  There are a few reports in your office that are for your eyes only about a few individual matters of a personal nature that you should look at soon, other wise that is all, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Thank you.

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO: Anything to add?

XO_Marek says:
CO: Well, in fact I have to add that all the Annual Evaluation Reports… ::Glances at the CNS:: have been sent to Starfleet Command, following the normal routine. You can read them on your console since they have been uploaded there, Sir.  And I have programmed some extra drills for next two months.

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO: I've already seen the reports.

CNS_Alana says:
::Smiles::

XO_Marek says:
CO: ::Nods at the Captain:: Very well, Sir. And I have some modifications to our security systems that I would like to discuss with you and the CTO, Sir, when the time is appropriate one, Sir.  That is all, Captain.

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO: Thank you.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around the table as everyone finishes up::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Nods to the XO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: Now before we adjourn I have a few things that need taken care of Lieutenant Spicer front and center!

CEO_Masters says:
::Sees Spicer go to the front::

CTO_R`Vellan says:
::Perks her ears and looks up::

OPS_Spicer says:
