Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

The away team led by CTO Rr`Vellan was successful in locating the stolen vials of the Florox virus.  The distraction implemented by TO Expendable caused a chain reaction on the pirate base destroying most of the buildings while the San Carlo crew made their escape from the planet.

The San Carlo is now en route back to Kootenai Station while Dr. Sovok is treating the infected crew in Sickbay with the new vaccine.

The San Carlo is minutes from arriving at Kootenai Station.

Time lapse:  17 hours….

CO_Marek says:
XO/CTO/All: Well, congrats to both of you!

CO_Marek says:
::enters the TL and orders it to move::

CEO_Adun says:
Operations: Thanks. It's nice to be here.

CO_Marek says:
XO: Well, I guess we will have a long, very long talk with the Admiral...

CEO_Adun says:
::peruses the info ::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Bailey> ::Completes the shutdown procedure of the tactical station, rises from his seat and heads for the turbolift::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::looks around the Bridge, then heads for the TL::

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Aye Sir. At least we were successful.

CEO_Adun says:
:: looks up and guesses that the Admiral is in the Ready Room::

CO_Marek says:
::taps in his PADD making a brief synopsis of his report::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Relief Operations> CEO: This is all the information you need to get settled on Kootenai Station.  It also has all the names of the engineers assigned to your department and the latest duty roster.  Now, you need to report for duty so I suggest you step up to the Ready Room doors and ring the door chime.  ::Hesitates:: Uhh...good luck.

CEO_Adun says:
Operations: In there? ::points at the Ready Room doors ::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Relief Operations> ::Nods and goes back to his duties::

CEO_Adun says:
::blinks:: Operations: Thanks?

CEO_Adun says:
:: tucks the PADD under his arm, walks over to the Ready Room door and rings ::

CO_Marek says:
::exits the San Carlo and heads for the Ready Room to meet the Admiral::

XO_Spicer says:
::Follows the CO::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::stretches in the TL, wondering what to do first, now that she's home::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Sitting in the chair in the Ready Room.  Hears the door chime and thinks it's Marek & Spicer.  Stands and firmly states:: Door: Enter!

CEO_Adun says:
:: Walks in and comes to attention before the Admiral:: Admiral: Chief Engineer Ensign Adun, reporting for duty, Sir.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the Ensign standing before her and is somewhat surprised he made it to the Ready Room ahead of Marek and Spicer:: CEO: Ah, yes...::Picks up a PADD from the desk and looks at it a moment:: Ensign Adun.  Well, welcome aboard Kootenai Station, Ensign.

CEO_Adun says:
Admiral: Thank you, Sir.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the PADD again:: CEO: Chief Engineer...tell me, Ensign Adun, are you prepared to take over the entire engineering department on this station?

CO_Marek says:
XO: ::takes a deep breath:: Nice to be back home...

CEO_Adun says:
Admiral: Most likely not, Sir, but I will do my best.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Drops the PADD on the desk and stares at the Ensign's eyes:: CEO: Most likely not?  What exactly does that mean, Ensign?

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Yes Sir it is. I am looking forward to an extended stay at the station.

CO_Marek says:
::arrives to the nearest Station TL and enters it, waits for the XO to follow him::

CEO_Adun says:
Admiral: It means that if I had said "yes" I would have seemed naive because CEO's have trouble taking care of one ship, let alone two, a station, and all the accompanying shuttles.

CO_Marek says:
TL: Main Ops...

XO_Spicer says:
::Enter the Turbolift after the Captain::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Frowns and raises an eyebrow:: CEO: Kootenai Station is the main thoroughfare for this entire sector, Ensign.  The Chief Engineer position is a position of great responsibility here.  Not only will you be charged with maintaining station equipment and vessels but also the vessels and equipment of all visitors to the station.

CO_Marek says:
::the travel to Main Ops seems to take an eternity::

CEO_Adun says:
Admiral: I realize that, Sir.

CO_Marek says:
::finally arrives to Main Ops and goes straight to the Ready Room, nodding to the personnel::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CEO: As you may know, our former Chief, Commander Corjet, was a fine officer and a very accomplished engineer.  He has left you with an excellent staff.

XO_Spicer says:
::Enters Main Operations behind the Captain::

CO_Marek says:
XO: ::attempts a joke:: Ready? ::puts his finger over the door chime::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Relief Operations> ::Sees the CO and XO enter and approach the Ready Room:: CO/XO: Welcome back, Sirs.  The Admiral is in the Ready Room with the new CEO.

CO_Marek says:
Operations: Thanks, Operations. ::nods in agreement::

XO_Spicer says:
::Nods to the Relief Operations:: Operations: Thank you.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CEO: In addition there is the completion on the theme park you are responsible for.  ::Eyes the new CEO::

CEO_Adun says:
:: blinks :: Admiral: Theme park, Sir?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Relief Operations> ::Nods and continues his duties, feeling a bit sorry for the new CEO and now the CO and XO::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Picks up a PADD from the desk top and hands it to the CEO:: CEO: Yes.

CO_Marek says:
::he decides, takes a deep breath, and presses the door chime button::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Hears the door chime:: Door: Enter!  ::Sounds a bit testy::

CEO_Adun says:
Admiral: Very well, Sir. Is that all?

CO_Marek says:
::clear his throat and enters the Ready Room, saluting the Admiral:: Admiral: Live long and prosper, Admiral Mitchell.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Eyes the Ensign:: CEO: I will tell you when you are dismissed, Ensign!

XO_Spicer says:
::Enters the Ready Room behind the Captain and nods to the Admiral::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Watches out of the corner of her eye as the CO and XO enter the Ready Room then motions them to sit::

CEO_Adun says:
:: envies the CO/XO their chairs ::

XO_Spicer says:
::Takes a seat::

CO_Marek says:
::sits and waits the Admiral to start lecturing them::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Steps around to the front of the desk and positions herself in front of the Ensign:: CEO: This is your commanding officer, Captain Marek and your Executive Officer Commander Spicer.  ::Motions to the command staff sitting stiffly in their chairs::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CO/XO: This...is your new Chief of Engineering, Ensign Adun.

CEO_Adun says:
:: nods to the CO/XO, remaining at attention ::

CO_Marek says:
::nods to the new CEO: CEO: Welcome aboard, Ensign.

CEO_Adun says:
CO/XO: Sirs.

XO_Spicer says:
::Stands and offers a handshake:: CEO: Welcome.

CO_Marek says:
::stands up and offers hand to the CEO::

CEO_Adun says:
:: shakes hands with his senior officers ::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CEO: Ensign, you are dismissed.  Report for duty in Main Engineering at 0600 tomorrow.  Until then I suggest you get settled into your quarters and take a look at Main Engineering.

CO_Marek says:
CEO: I am sure you will promptly notice that this is one of the finest assignment that a SF officer can get, Ensign

CEO_Adun says:
Admiral: Thank you, Sir.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the CEO::

CEO_Adun says:
:: nods curtly to them all and leaves ::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Relief Operations> ::Sees the new CEO step out of the Ready Room:: CEO: Hope it wasn't too bad, Ensign.  ::Smiles sympathetically::

CEO_Adun says:
::sighs:: Self: What the hell have I gotten myself into?

XO_Spicer says:
::Remains standing::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the XO and CO standing:: CO/XO: Sit!

CO_Marek says:
::sits down::

XO_Spicer says:
::Slams down into his chair immediately his eyes wide in surprise::
