Host Admiral_Graze says:

Host Admiral_Graze says:
::steps ahead:: CO: Commander Q'Tor, of the House of Qaveq.  You are requested and required to take command of the IKS QIb, as of this stardate, 10303.08.  I also have the privilege of promoting you to the rank of Captain, with all the privileges and responsibilities thereof.

Host Admiral_Graze says:
CO: Much as I'm sure you and your crew would like to celebrate, as I believe you were informed, a situation is brewing.
Lucas_Walker says:
::glances at Lorenzo and gives a little nod while smiling, trying to keep quiet::
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: Of course Admiral. ::motions towards the ready room:: ALL: Senior Staff report to the ready room.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
: turns immediately and heads in to the RR standing near the door ::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::turns to face the door, and walks towards it::
CEO_Jelis says:
::wishes he had time to change back into something more operationally suitable, but heads to the ready room as ordered::
CMO_Kymar says:
::walks out from his shadowy corner and heads into the RR, leaning on a wall in one of the corners::
Lucas_Walker says:
::Walks forward of the bridge to go congratulate Q'tor before he disappears::
AXO_Lorenzo says:

CO: Q'tor, or should I say Captain Q'tor? ::extends his hand to shake Q'tor's:: Congratulations, Q'tor. ::smiles::
CEO_Jelis says:
::enters the ready room and waits by his seat::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::enters the ready room, wondering if the ship has a briefing room, and stands::
CO_Q`tor says:
::Shakes Lucas' hand:: Walker:  I thank you Mr. Walker. When did they let you out of the Science Academy?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: straightens at attention ::
Lucas_Walker says:
CO: This was too important to miss, I wanted to come and congratulate you in person.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Waits patiently and impassively.::
CEO_Jelis says:
::offers his chair to the Admiral::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: Whilst we wait for the Captain, I wish to state something on a personal note.  I understand that the majority of you were crew here when a renegade Romulan faction attempted to destabilize relations between our peoples.
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::hopes this admiral is made of stronger stuff than the Ferengi was::
CMO_Kymar says:
::stays in his corner, getting comfortable::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stifles a yawn ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::Nods his head:: Walker: I appreciate that Mr. Walker. As you can see, duty calls. You are welcome to sit in on our briefing.
Lucas_Walker says:
CO: I'm not sure the admiral would approve.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: listens to the Admiral ::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: Captain Saalis served me with distinction for several years.  It was with disbelief that I heard of her actions.
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: Just remain seated and quiet. ::Enters the ready room and takes his seat.::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns at the mention of her name::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: seizes up the new Admiral, giving him a good look up and down ::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: I can only offer my sympathies for what she did, and hope that such a misjudgement never occurs again.
Lucas_Walker says:
::shrugs and accepts Q'tor's offer and follows him in, sitting very quietly in a very quiet corner not in direct site of the admiral::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::raises her chin again in answer::
CMO_Kymar says:
::starts chuckling before remembering that he died on that mission::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stifles a growl ::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: Now that that's done, we have very serious business.  
CEO_Jelis says:
::also hopes the Admiral never misjudges anyone under his command again:
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: Six months ago, the Federation established an Embassy on the politically non-aligned world of Grecenia.  It's outside of Federation space, they have limited contact with the Ferengi and the Klingons.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: A small facility, Ambassador S'ral has four assistants, including Starfleet liason officer, Ensign Jokanaan Cruz.  One week ago, power to the embassy was suddenly cut, they've been on emergency backups since then.  Ensign Cruz went to meet Governmental representatives to determine the power issues, which they refused to discuss over the comm.  He never returned, and ministry officials insist he never arrived.
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: Was there any hostility before the power failure Admiral?
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Arches a brow.::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CO: No actual hostility.  However, Ensign Cruz and the Ambassador had recently adjusted their duties slightly, in order that Cruz could have less contact time with the Ruler of the planet, a young woman by the name of Alexina.  She rules an oligarchy.
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns::
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: A temper tantrum from a shunned lover?
Civ_Stelakh says:
::The arched brow arches further still.::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CO: Possibly.  However, we simply don't know.  The Regina has refused any contact with the Embassy since the event, speaking only through her Governmental advisors.
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: So we are not even sure that she is where she is supposed to be?
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CO: She is apparently currently resident in her palace, a short distance from the Embassy.  
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: thinks this is a tactical nightmare, starts to formulate plans ::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
CO: We'll need to speak with everyone he had contact with on Grecenia.
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: But we are unable to confirm her location?
CO_Q`tor says:
AXO: Agreed.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: I will admit to a personal note in this.  Sophia Cruz, the Ensign's mother is a friend of mine, she asked me to ensure everything possible was done to ensure his return, not just to the Embassy, but to the Federation.
CMO_Kymar says:
::scratches his head, totally confused. He was a doctor, not a detective::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CO: No-one has tried.  The Embassy staff remain inside, and QIb and the Zong are the two nearest ships.  Zong already has orders.
CEO_Jelis says:
::wishes the Doctor wouldn’t scratch his head in public::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::doesn't like when admirals send them on orders with a personal motive behind it::
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: You may assure her Admiral that we will do everything that we possibly can to recover Ensign Cruz.
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: Sir, do we know what sort of personal relationship the ... Regina ... had with Ensign Cruz?
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::nods to emphasize Q'tor's words and to reassure the admiral::
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: You mentioned that he had recently adjusted his duties to limit his time in her presence. I was just wondering why he would do that.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ADM: According to his personal logs, that was why he requested a change of duties with the Ambassador.  He felt that she was being overtly friendly with him, an interest which he did not reciprocate.
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: So there is every possibility that she may have had him abducted out of infatuation.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::nods:: CO: Yes.  As I say, she remains silent over the matter, her government insists they never saw him.. we have no knowledge of what happened once he left the Embassy.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: a lovers quarrel?  Just kill ‘em all off and be done with it ::
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: I see. Is there any other information that may be of use to us Admiral?
Civ_Stelakh says:
ADM:  Begging the Admiral's pardon.  Mister Cruz is human?
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CO: Only that the Ensign has been missing for a week now, Captain, and Ambassador S'ral informs us that the power remains off.  If the situation requires it, you are authorized to evacuate the Embassy.
CEO_Jelis says:
::wonders if he imagined a slight intonation of the way Stelakh said "human"::
CMO_Kymar says:
::stretches from his position, wondering if he could get a few weeks off because they wont need him::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CIV: He is.
Civ_Stelakh says:
ADM:  And there are no human life signs present on the surface?
Host Admiral_Graze says:
CIV: The Embassy does not have the equipment to make that determination.
AXO_Lorenzo says:
Graze: Evacuate over a power failure and one missing ensign?
CO_Q`tor says:
AXO: Commander, as soon as we arrive you will begin a sensor sweep looking for human life signs.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
AXO: I said authorized, not ordered, Commander.
AXO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Aye Captain.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Nods, and falls back into passive silence.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: ponders a  bio-skeletal lock, specific DNA, Cruz is a Star Fleet officer it would be on file. ::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
ALL: Is there anything else?
CO_Q`tor says:
::looks around the room::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::still believes the authorization is preemptive, unless there was more they weren't telling them::
CMO_Kymar says:
::stands and gets ready to leave::
CEO_Jelis says:
~~~Julia: So... what do you think?~~~
AXO_Lorenzo says:
Graze: I will need a list of all officers and diplomats assigned to the Embassy.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
AXO: I will have it transmitted to this vessel, immediately.
CO_Q`tor says:
ALL: ATTENTION!
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands to attention ::
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Stands to attention.::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::straightens her spine::
CEO_Jelis says:
::Stands to attention::
CMO_Kymar says:
::stands to attention::
Lucas_Walker says:
::stays quiet and sat::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::prepares to leave::
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: We will keep you informed Admiral
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::nods:: ALL: Thank-you.  Good luck.  I know that wishes go with you.
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::walks out of the door::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands down with a scowl ::
CO_Q`tor says:
ALL: At ease.
CMO_Kymar says:
::stands at ease, tugging his uniform down again::
Lucas_Walker says:
::already at ease with himself::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: glances at Q'tor with a bit of fire in her eyes ::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::gets into the rickety old turbolift, and orders it to an airlock::
CO_Q`tor says:
ALL: You are dismissed
CO_Q`tor says:
AXO: recall all ships personnel back to the ship, I want to be ready to leave within the hour.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: turns and leaves ::
Lucas_Walker says:
::wonders if he's going to be invited out on a mission, then randomly wonders how many telepaths are listening to his thoughts.. then returns to his normal train of thought.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: leaves the bridge for her quarters ::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Aye Captain.
CMO_Kymar says:
::walks out of the RR, finding another shadow to lurk in::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::turns around and heads back for the bridge to recall the troops::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: steps on to the TL :
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Steps out of the ready room and back to the science station, whereupon he pulls up all available data on the planet, its culture, and it's government.::
CO_Q`tor says:
CEO: Commander Jelis, have all ships systems readied for departure.
CEO_Jelis says:
CO: Aye, sir!
OPS_Geoghan says:
::looks at the AXO as she emerges:: AXO: Sir, the Zong transmitted personnel data for you just now.
CO_Q`tor says:
::Watches as his staff leave the RR::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: enters  her quarters and picks up a PADD searching for ENS Cruz's duty record ::
CEO_Jelis says:
::heads off to his station to put the relevant call down to main engineering::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pulls off her dress uniform ::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
Ops: Thank you Geoghan.  Patch it into the First Officer's console and recall all our ships personnel we're departing earlier than expected.
Lucas_Walker says:
::Clears his throat::
OPS_Geoghan says:
AXO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: balls up the uniform and throws it in the closet, pulls out a duty uniform and puts it on ::
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: yes Mr. Walker?
Lucas_Walker says:
::Blinks at Q'tor::
CMO_Kymar says:
::scowls down at his duty uniform and heads to his quarters, hoping to catch a bit of time off before his duty shift::
Host Admiral_Graze says:
::notifies all ship's personnel base-side to return to the vessel, and sends the five-person data to the XO's console::
AXO_Lorenzo says:
~~~Arlin: I think we have a who-done-it assignment~~~
CO_Q`tor says:
::smiles one of his toothy Klingon smiles at Walker:: Walker: How long before you have to return to the Academy Mr. Walker?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sits down at her desk and start to go through every jot and tittle about this Cruz fellow ::
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Reads the information as it comes through, making notes as to forms of address and social etiquette.::
Lucas_Walker says:
Q'tor: A couple of weeks, give or take..
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: recalls all tactical personnel to the armory for briefing ;:
CEO_Jelis says:
~~~Julia: Just great... I'd have signed up for the civilian authorities if I'd wanted that~~~
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: Excellent. I have a job for you.
CEO_Jelis says:
::checks on the readouts from M.E. and sees everything is good to go::
Lucas_Walker says:
::Smiles and looks at Q'tor quizingly:: oh?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: recalls Elite Rogue from tactical trials ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: heads out of her quarters for the Armory ::
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: As I recall, our agreement for my endorsement to get you into the Science academy was that you would iron out the wrinkles in the EMH program, so that we would have a human and a Klingon EMH.
Lucas_Walker says:
::frowns:: CO: I've been working on it...
AXO_Lorenzo says:
::takes her seat next to the Captains chair and goes over the list of officers assignment to the Grecenian Embassy::
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: Mr. Walker, I want the human EMH up to Star Fleet standards and specifications. I do not want it to look like you.
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: It is scaring patients ::grins again::
Lucas_Walker says:
CO: But I'm sure they're bowled over by his bedside manor.
CMO_Kymar says:
::scowls as he hurls his dress uniform into the replicator, going to his wardrobe to pick out one of his many SF med uniforms and putting it on::
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: I would not exactly call passed out in shock "bowled over".
Lucas_Walker says:
CO: See... people are always fainting over me..
CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: ::glint in his eye:: just fix it
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Finishes compiling his data and downloads it to a padd.::
