MO_Lynch says:
::in Sickbay checking stock wondering why the CMO never really does anything constructive::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Receiving his new mission orders in the Ready Room.  Standing from his desk, he walks onto the Bridge and has a communications channel opened to all USS Luna personnel::  *All*: USS Luna personnel, please report back to the ship.  We have new orders and will be departing shortly.
CTO_Augustus says:
::In his quarters feeding Julius::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::still in his bed catching-up on much needed sleep::
XO_Singh says:
@ :: Leaning back in the chair, just floating in her mind, waiting for the next shoe to drop.::
MO_Lynch says:
::hearing the CO's Comm. figures that'll be easy being in Sickbay already::
CTO_Augustus says:
::pats Julius on the head and heads toward the bridge::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan opens an eye just a slit, rolls over and goes back to sleep::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Moments later enters the bridge, takes his post & logs in::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Walks over to Operations::  OPS: How many personnel were on leave on Starbase 917?  How many left the starbase?
Host OPS_Dora says:
CO: Captain, all crew are back onboard.
Pilot_Davidson says:
@XO: Commander, we are nearing the base.  In hailing distance now.
CTO_Augustus says:
::Does the normal routine, scans the various logs, runs a Tactical scan, verifies that the routine supplies that Security/Tactical needs have been brought aboard::
MO_Lynch says:
::can't help wondering what is to become of Nigel::
XO_Singh says:
@ :: Opens her eyes and focuses on her pilot, glancing over at Reyarc who has nothing but a stoic expression on his face.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan finally rolls out of bed, stands up yawning while wiping the sleepers from the corners of his eyes and strolls over to the replicator:: Tea, luke warm
CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Captain, all Tactical/Security personnel are present and accountable, posted as well
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Very good, thank you.  ::Moves to the center chair::  OPS: Prepare to disengage from Starbase.  Disconnect umbilicals and switch to ship power.
XO_Singh says:
@ Davidson: Hail the station for permission to approach and then if you could please let the Luna know we are in the area?  :: Looks annoyingly at Reyarc::  They are not aware of my arrival time.
Host OPS_Dona says:
::presses a few buttons:: CO: Umbilicals disconnected, running on ship power... now sir.

ACTION: On the Luna there is a slight increase in the pitch of the universal hum that exists on a Starship

CTO_Augustus says:
::Augustus verifies that there is no problems with his Tactical Department and the ships sensors::
MO_Lynch says:
::finishes the inventory::
Pilot_Davidson says:
@XO: Aye commander... :: contacts the base and receives clearance.  Then sends a transmission to the Luna.::
Host OPS_Dona says:
CO: Captain, I am receiving a message from a federation shuttle approaching the Stabase, apparently they have Commander Singh onboard.
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Open a channel.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan downs the liquid in one gulp, sets down the cup and proceeds to take a shower::
Host OPS_Dora says:
::presses a few buttons:: CO: Channel open sir.
Pilot_Davidson says:
@*Luna*: This is the shuttle Ra.  I have your first officer.  We are currently on approach to Starbase 917.
CTO_Augustus says:
::Augustus, simply looks at the CO shaking his head::
CTO_Augustus says:
Self: This is going to be a long mission
CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Hey Captain, your Tactical department is all accounted for and awaiting orders
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Ra: Negative.  Redirect to dock with the USS Luna.  And inform the Commander that she is welcome home.
Host CO_Savar says:
CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant.
Pilot_Davidson says:
@CO: Will do sir.  ETA will be... :: Looks at his console as he drops to impulse:: 3 minutes.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan puts on that oh too familiar black-n-gray uniform that was once hanging next to an old red-n-gray uniform that he once wore when he captained a starship::
CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye aye sir ::shakes his head in disbelief:: Anything you need us to be prepared for, Sir?
MO_Lynch says:
::turns everything over to T'Neer and heads for the bridge::
Pilot_Davidson says:
@:: Turns to look at his guest.:: XO: Commander?
Host CO_Savar says:
CTO: Orders will be issued en route to the entire senior staff at once.
XO_Singh says:
@ :: Stands and stretches:: SP Davidson: Thanks Peter for the safe journey.  I wish you one on your next leg.
CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Ok sir.  *Ensign Larso*: Please report to the bridge at once
CSO_Jarek says:
#COM: Luna: USS Luna this is shuttle Tiderian. Commander Jarek.  I am on approach to the Luna and request permission to land
MO_Lynch says:
::arrives on the bridge::
Pilot_Davidson says:
@XO: Thanks... :: Turns back to console and begins preparing to come up to the Luna.::
Ens_Larso says:
*CTO*: Aye sir
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan finally makes it up to the Bridge::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Raises an eyebrow slightly::  COM: Tiderian: Received.  Please dock in bay 2.  ::Turns::  CTO: Mister Augustus, could you go meet Commander Jarek?
CTO_Augustus says:
::Moments later Ensign Larso enters the bridge::
XO_Singh says:
@ :: Moves to the back of the modified shuttle to find Reyarc standing there, not saying a word.  Exasperated...::  Reyarc:  You know, I could just as easily have brought a plant back.  It would have given more comforting vibes.
Ens_Larso says:
CTO: Reporting as ordered sir
CSO_Jarek says:
#:COM: Luna: Acknowledged
MO_Lynch says:
::stands at the rear of the bridge watching all that is going on::
CTO_Augustus says:
Ensign, take your post, call me when you need me, and no reply is needed, I will be in Tactical
XO_Singh says:
@ :: The two of them turn to step onto the transporter.::  COMM: *OPS*: Two to transport aboard.
CTO_Augustus says:
::Augustus logs out, and leaves the bridge::
CSO_Jarek says:
#:: Stands an looks at the Luna on the viewscreen....It would appear that I am ......Home
Host OPS_Dora says:
*XO*: Two?... energizing now.
CSO_Jarek says:
#: Bears down on shuttle bay 2 doors::

ACTION: The XO and Reyarc appear in the familiar surroundings of the Luna's main transporter room.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Enters Tactical Office, goes to his desk pulls out his throwing knives and starts throwing them at the target on the wall::
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks around as the shimmer disappears to find herself in the relatively familiar room along with Reyarc and their gear.::
XO_Singh says:
:: Hefting one of the more important bags, she steps down.::  TPC:  Thanks...
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Helm, as soon as the shuttles are docked and secure, set course for the Peugeo system, warp eight.
Host OPS_Dora says:
::notes the MO is on the bridge and turns to him:: MO: Is there anything you are looking for in particular Doctor?  ::looks worried for a moment:: Not time for my annual physical is it?
CSO_Jarek says:
#:Begins the entry into shuttlebay 2:
XO_Singh says:
:: Leaving the rest for Reyarc to deal with, she heads out in a slight huff for her lab.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan stands in his usual spot on the Bridge, in the back::
MO_Lynch says:
::shakes head::  Dora: I've got you scheduled for next week though.

ACTION: Against all the odds perhaps the CSO manages to land the shuttle perfectly in the middle of the bay.  Several Shuttlebay staff look impressed.

Host OPS_Dora says:
MO: Well at least I have a week to get out of it ::grins::
MO_Lynch says:
Dora: I heard an old shipmate of mine will be coming on board and I wanted to be here to greet him.
CTO_Augustus says:
::Goes to the target pulls his blades takes eight steps away, turns suddenly and throws them again, noting the almost perfection of each throw and the beauty of the sound as they fly through the air and sink into the target yet again::
CSO_Jarek says:
#:An obscure ensign reaches for Jarek’s bags: Ensign: I shall carry those myself.  Please see to it the rest of my things are delivered to my quarters
Host FCO_Abadon says:
CO: Aye sir, all shuttles are docked and secure, setting course now... ::waits for the "go" order::
MO_Lynch says:
::chuckles at the OPS Officer's last comment::  Dora: I'm planning some sick leave of my own for next week.  I think that should cover it
CSO_Jarek says:
<Ensign> CSO: Aye sir  :: Shaking a bit::
XO_Singh says:
:: Arriving at the correct deck, she steps off and heads for her office.  Once inside, she goes straight for the cabinet and immediately locks the bag up.::
FCO_Sputnic says:
CSO: You may leave the shuttle when ready sir...
XO_Singh says:
:: Her shoulders straighten as if a burden has been lifted and she sighs with relief.::
Host Jabba says:
<OPS Dora> ::eyes the MO suspiciously:: MO: That seems a little too easy...
CSO_Jarek says:
FCO_Sputnic: Thank you Lt. I appreciate the uneventful trip...Good day.
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Jarek leaves the shuttle::
XO_Singh says:
:: Starting to leave, she pauses, turns around and hums a complex scale and watches as swirls coalesce and settle over the cabinet.  That completed, she leaves.::
MO_Lynch says:
::stepping forward from the rear of the bridge:: OPS: Really?  What would you suggest as a better exit strategy?
XO_Singh says:
:: Stepping onto the turbolift she orders it to the bridge.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan makes notes in his SFI issued PADD:::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Stands there for a moment looking around at the shuttlebay....Officers and crew milling about doing their duties::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Leaves his blades in the wall target, and heads toward the shuttle bay::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: makes his way to the Turbo lift::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Moments later enters the shuttle bay::
Host CO_Savar says:
:: waits for the CTO and CSO to return ::  FCO: Engage engines.
XO_Singh says:
:: As the lift stops she pauses to look around the bridge.  A smile slips onto her face as she sees familiar faces.::
CSO_Jarek says:
Self: Strange no one here to meet me, very strange
CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: Hey is there a Commander Jarek, or something like that here?
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Welcome back, Commander.
Host FCO_Abadon says:
CO: Aye sir, engaging warp drive now sir... ::presses the "go" button::
XO_Singh says:
:: Steps forward, more then ready to give her captain a big hug:: CO:  Thank you sir.  It is good to be back.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan looks over at Singh and gives a wee smile and goes back to his PADD::

ACTION: The Luna jumps to warp, heading towards the Peugeo system

Host CO_Savar says:
:: Stands somewhat still, caught off guard by the display ::
MO_Lynch says:
::hears a familiar voice from behind and approaches::  XO: Welcome back Commander.  I trust all went well with your journey?
CSO_Jarek says:
::Enters the TL:: Bridge
CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Guess I missed him ::turns around and heads back to the bridge::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Moments later enters the bridge::
XO_Singh says:
CO: It has been too long sir.
CSO_Jarek says:
::Exits the TL on the Bridge and sets his bags off to the side::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Notices a stranger on the bridge, looks him over, and goes to Tactical::
Host OPS_Dora says:
::notes the new arrival:: CSO: Excuse me, can I help you?
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Mister Jarek.  I see your travels have brought you to the USS Luna once again.
MO_Lynch says:
::spots the CSO::  CSO: Commander Jarek.  It has been a very, very long time.  It is good to see you again sir.  ::Extends hand::
CTO_Augustus says:
CSO: Welcome aboard sir
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at the doctor::  MO: Well is a relative term, but I am glad to be back.
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Walks over to the CO:: CO: Captain Savar.  Commander Jarek reporting as ordered sir
XO_Singh says:
CIV: Good to see you as well sir.
XO_Singh says:
:: Turns toward Jarek, slightly confused.:: CSO: Welcome back sir?
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks at her captain curiously::
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Indeed Sir...It is agreeable to see you again
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Looks up from his PADD:: XO: Good to have you back Commander and thanks for the compliment. I'm not used to hearing them too often
Host CO_Savar says:
::Seeing that the senior staff is assembled::  XO/CSO: I'm afraid that extended greetings will have to be set aside for the time being... All: We have been issued new orders from Starfleet Command.
MO_Lynch says:
::turns to the CO hearing the words "new orders"::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Folds his hands behind his back::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Pays attention::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks over at the Science station::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius looks up, "old home week or something", he thinks to himself::
XO_Singh says:
CSO: Forgive me... but I have just returned from a rather trying mission.
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: :: Nods:: Understood::
Host CO_Savar says:
All: The USS Luna has been called to assist with a survey of the Peugeo system.  A mysterious asteroid has been found in an unusual orbit, perfectly locked into geosychronity with a planet.  The gas giant's interference prevented the Defiant Class vessel from gaining clear readings.
XO_Singh says:
:: Still wondering what Jarek's position is.::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius pulls up the info on the Peugeo system on Tactical 2::
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks a bit longingly at her old station as she realizes it is a science mission.::
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Cmdr, Is there a problem?
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Commander Jarek, as our new Chief of Sciences, I'd like you to lead a team to prepare the sensors to combat what interference there is.  Work with Lieutenant Augustus as well as Commander Singh.  XO: Commander, I suggest contacting the USS Kuja and getting specifics on what interference they encountered.
XO_Singh says:
:: Turns to look at Jarek.  Quietly:: CSO: Not that I know of.  Just caught off guard and need to review the updated crew list.
CSO_Jarek says:
CO: Acknowledged
XO_Singh says:
CO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Savar says:
MO: Doctor... I'm afraid I do not have specific orders for you at this time.  Please see that Commanders Singh and Jarek are certified fit at their earliest convenience.
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Moves towards Science station one and enters his codes::
MO_Lynch says:
::nods at the CO::  MO: Aye sir.
XO_Singh says:
:: Wrinkles her nose at Lynch::
Host CO_Savar says:
:: Looks back towards the CIV, contemplating ::
MO_Lynch says:
::waits to see if there is more before escorting the two away::
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: You had no idea I was returning to the Luna did you Sir?
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: And Sir, My command codes have not been entered into the security data banks as of yet
XO_Singh says:
CSO: I have just returned myself from an extended leave by orders of the Federation council.  I could actually use a rather long shore leave.  ::Smiles wistfully.::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the XO and says nothing::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::finished with what he was doing on his PADD, he puts it away and smiles at the Captain::
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: I also have no specific orders for you at this time, Captain.
XO_Singh says:
:: Reaches her hands out for his orders.::
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: With all due respect sir, you did not answer my question
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Hands the XO his orders::
MO_Lynch says:
::stands patiently to the side while orders are passed to the XO::
XO_Singh says:
:: Takes the orders, scans them and enters her command codes before looking up.::  CSO:  Which question was that?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Captain, really?
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: I would suggest another time.. perhaps
XO_Singh says:
:: Hands the PADD back and glances over at the doctor, feeling his eyes on him.::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Turns to the console::
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Indeed.
CTO_Augustus says:
XO & CSO: Sirs, when you are ready to start please let me know, meanwhile I shall be in Tactical, CSO, Welcome aboard, XO, welcome home
XO_Singh says:
CSO: No so quickly Commander.  The good doctor is waiting for us... :: looks toward the captain to see if they were dismissed.::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks over the Data that the Luna has so far::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Whatever you need, I can do
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Sir ?
CTO_Augustus says:
::with that said Gladius does a perfect about face and heads for the turbo lift and Tactical::
MO_Lynch says:
::looking at the CSO::  CSO: Commander   ::looking at the XO::  XO: Commander  ::begins walking toward the TL::  XO/CSO: If you'll follow me...
XO_Singh says:
:: Seeing they are dismissed, she turns toward the doctor.::
MO_Lynch says:
::arriving at the TL door::  XO/CSO: I know a room full of instruments looking forward to making your acquaintance.  ::smiles oddly::
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Admirals Fraiser and Cory have deemed me fit for duty...I was unaware of another fitness exam
CTO_Augustus says:
::A few brief moments later Gladius is in Tactical, pulls the blades from the target and starts the process all over again::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks at the CSO and XO following the MO, glad that he doesn't have to follow suit::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Locks down the console and walks towards the XO::
Host Lt_Stradling says:
::enters the tactical office and watches a few blades fly through the air into the target on the wall:: CTO: You know you could have someone's eye out with one of those sir...
XO_Singh says:
CSO: Standard procedure if you remember.
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the XO with a rather curious look::
XO_Singh says:
:: Gives the doctor a mock glare.::
CTO_Augustus says:
LT Stradling: I have not missed once in the last 12 years, and if I did hit someone in the eye it would be because it is where I aimed and then our MO could just replace the eye or fix it!  Need something?
MO_Lynch says:
::waits patiently for the two officers to join him in the Turbo Lift::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Enters the TL::
XO_Singh says:
:: Steps next to Lynch::
MO_Lynch says:
TL: Sickbay
MO_Lynch says:
::turns to the two Commanders::  XO/CSO: So how do the two of you feel now that you are in the other's shoes so to speak?
Host Lt_Stradling says:
::indicates the set of PADDs in his hands:: CTO: Paperwork sir.  Also I’m not sure if the MO would appreciate you increasing his workload ::deposits the PADDs on the CTO's desk::
XO_Singh says:
MO: Having just learned of that fact?  Give me a few.  At the moment it seems... :: Looks at Jarek:: Odd...
CTO_Augustus says:
::Smiling at the LT he picks up the first PADD::
CTO_Augustus says:
Lt: I think he is bored and needs something to do!
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks up to the CO:: CO: What is it that you have me do, Captain?
MO_Lynch says:
::turns to the CSO after the XO's response::  XO: And since we are short a Counselor, I have an extra workload of needing to know how you feel about Commander Singh's response.
CTO_Augustus says:
LT: What kind of paperwork? BY the way I approved your suggestions way to go
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks at Lynch and just stops from rolling her eyes.::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the XO:: XO: Odd Sir?
CTO_Augustus says:
Lt: Stradling is there a reason you did not request a team of your own?
MO_Lynch says:
XO/CSO: So we've established it's odd  ::turns to face the TL doors::  XO/CSO: That's good enough for me, your both mentally sound in my books.
XO_Singh says:
CSO: We have switched shoes.  I am used to calling you my commanding officer.  So if I fall back into that pattern, don't be too surprised.  I will endeavor not to though.
MO_Lynch says:
::feels the TL come to a stop and exits::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the MO and XO::
Host Lt_Stradling says:
CTO: Doctors who are bored invariably cause problems for the crew sir.  Obviously they were only a short term measure sir, I’m sure you will make changes as your become accustomed to this crew.
CSO_Jarek says:
MO: May I return to my post then?
Host Lt_Stradling says:
CTO: No sir.
XO_Singh says:
:: chuckles at the doctors analysis::  MO: You are too easy.
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: How do you feel you can be helpful?
XO_Singh says:
:: As the lift doors open, she steps out and heads for the double glass doors.::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the XO with an not so amused look::
MO_Lynch says:
::arriving at the Sickbay doors he stops and turns to the CSO::  CSO: No.  I said mentally sound.  Physically however, you look like a wreck  ::enters Sickbay::
CSO_Jarek says:
MO: To whom are you speaking ?
CTO_Augustus says:
LT Stradling: Well, thanks again for the assist, and the mail delivery, if there is nothing else you are dismissed ::Gladius drops the PADD he was looking at on his desk with all the others::
CSO_Jarek says:
MO: I assure you I am in peak physical fitness
XO_Singh says:
:: Smiles at Jarek and waits for the doctor to proceed.::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Does not return the smile::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Captain, I have primary and I have secondary orders from SFI, but I can help where you feel the need, if it's Engineering the field that I graduated in at the Academy then that's where I'll be
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: If the CSO and XO require assistance, you may offer your services.
CTO_Augustus says:
::Removes the blades from the target, takes his position and lets fly yet again, with precession and perfection, 1, 2, and finally the last of the three, all perfectly thrown all found their target::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I am not too familiar with Science, but if you feel the need is greater there than in Engineering
