OPS_Russel says:
::At his station.::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: ETA?

Meghan says:
@::waiting on the SB for the Scorpius::

CEO_AQilla says:
::at the Eng station on bridge::

EO_Nanapush says:
::in engineering running diagnostics on ship systems::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: 15 minutes to the starbase.

MO_Siatty says:
::In Sickbay, monitoring Nes's condition.::

Adm-Alexander says:
@::waiting in the docking ring for the Scorpius to arrive, holding T`Sara in her arms::

CMO_Xye says:

@::walking back and forth and senses a presence she knows::

Meghan says:
@::slightly scared, tries to get rid of her nerves::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::receiving clearance, brings her shuttle into the docking bay::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Nods at the Ensign who greets him, doesn't bother asking which docking port the Scorpius is docking at... he's knows it well::

XO_VanSickle says:
::monitors course, knows it's been a while, but it's like riding a bike::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::sadness touches her, she had intended to come visit, but being transferred from ship to ship had not given her the chance::

CMO_Xye says:
::taps commbadge:: *MO*: I've just finished reading on the Trill operation... have you?

Adm-Alexander says:
@~~~~Tsalea:  Is that you I am sensing?  Are you at the SB?~~~~

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Extends his cane, and starts moving down the corridor ::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::Landing the shuttle, shuts things down, and just sits there a moment contemplating::

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:  I reviewed my notes from my time in Medical school.  Are they sending specialist from Trill, or are we going to perform?

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::looks up, not really surprised.  A sad smile comes to her eyes.::  ~~~~Adm:  Yes, my admiral, I am here.~~~~

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We're within 5 minutes of the SB.  Shall I request clearance?

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Wears his classic, normal, stern looked face... comes from being a CTO::

CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Ensign Russel, contact the Starbase for clearance when ready.

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  Aye captain.

CMO_Xye says:
*MO*: We are going to perform the surgery.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::gets up and leaves the shuttle::  ~~~~Adm:  Where are you?~~~~

OPS_Russel says:
::Taps a few buttons::

Adm-Alexander says:
@~~~~T: I am glad that you are here, but not under these circumstances.  I am in the docking ring waiting for the Scorpius' arrival.  I also have someone you will want to meet.~~~~

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Acknowledged.  The symbiont is stable, but seems anxious to get "joined".

OPS_Russel says:
::Sends clearance request to Starbase.::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@~~~~Adm:  Curios.  I am on my way~~~~  ::picking up a small gift, heads to the docking ring::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Grips the gold sphere at the top of the cane with the Starfleet symbol on it so hard that he nearly breaks it::

CMO_Xye says:
*MO*: I'm on my way to sickbay... right now.

CMO_Xye says:
::Finishes Margarita with a cherry and a twist... leaves Lounge::

Adm-Alexander says:
@::hums to her daughter and bounces her slightly to see her smile::

XO_VanSickle says:
::prepares for docking procedures::

MO_Siatty says:
~~~Nes: Hold tight, we are almost there.~~~

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::stops briefly as she picks up the other presence::  Ahhh...

SB_64 says:
COMM : Scorpius: You are clear for docking......bay 10 please

XO_VanSickle says:
::sets course for docking bay 10::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::steps into the waiting area of the docking ring and looks around for Trish and Selan::

Adm-Alexander says:
@T: Over here, meet your new Goddaughter::smiling at her friend::

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Glances at his wrist chronometer, silently assuring himself that he is, indeed, on time::

Meghan says:
@::looks across the docking ring at the two people standing there, wonders who they are::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ <Ensign Linkham> ::Walks up behind Selan:: Cmdr: Um, sir. An Admiral Poli would like to speak to you regarding--

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Approaching docking bay now.

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Enters a nearby turbolift:: TL: Docking Bay... ::Pauses:: ...Ten.

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Turns to Linkham:: Linkham: Tell them to wait. <Linkham> But...

EO_Nanapush says:
*CEO* Ma'am, I've finished running diagnostics on all ship systems and  we're ready to finish repairs when we're in dry dock.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::walks over to the admiral and the baby::  Adm:  You had your daughter and I was not there.  Most regretful on my part.  You and she I take it are well?

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ Linkham: Tell them to wait, Ensign. ::Moves on before she can catch up::

CEO_AQilla says:
*EO*:  Acknowledged.

Adm-Alexander says:
@T: Of course we are, Robin and Jude help to deliver her on the Cherokee.  All went well.

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Steps from the turbolift and dips his head in silence as he emerges. Peers through one of the view ports adjacent the turbolift::

CMO_Xye says:
::Enters sickbay with Nurse Veridia:: Nurse: We will need your help.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::nods as she looks at the baby::  Adm:  That is good.

XO_VanSickle says:
::maneuvers to the docking bay::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ <Ensign Linkham> ::Mumbles and goes off to tell the already peeved Admiral what the Vulcan Cmdr. said::

Adm-Alexander says:
@T:  Looks like the S is here.  Seems funny to be looking at her from this direction.

Meghan says:
@::wonders if she should walk over to the group of people obviously waiting for the Scorpius::

Capt_Wilkens says:
@Computer: Locate Admiral Alexander.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@Adm:  That it does...  ::a frown touches her eyes::

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Nes is ready as soon as Meghan gets here.

Adm-Alexander says:
@T: What is wrong T?  You are not happy.

XO_VanSickle says:
::slides the Scorpius alongside the docking ring and comes to a stop at DB 10::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Thank you... the question is... are we ready for the surgery.

Capt_Wilkens says:
<Computer> Processing. Admiral Trish Alexander is currently at Docking Bay 10. The U.S.S. Pendragon is scheduled to dock there momentarily.

CEO_AQilla says:
::shuts down engines::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Comes around a corner, and sees Admiral Alexander holding her baby, standing besides T'salea, both looking out the window, he glances from his direction, and sees the massive form of the Ambassador Class starship sliding into dock::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@Adm:  Illogical, but I have regrets.  This is not how I would return to my home ship... nor an old friend.

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:I witnessed a few before, never took part in one, however.

Adm-Alexander says:
@Selan:  Are my eyes deceiving me?  You are supposed to be dead!

XO_VanSickle says:
::engages docking clamps::

EO_Nanapush says:
Self: Nothing like hearing the engines whine down.

CMO_Xye says:
MO: I am getting what some people would call... goose bumps. I have never participated in a Trill operation.

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Glances up from the deck plates as he spots the small party of three; Selan, Trish, and Tsalea::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We are docked.  Engines read full stop and powered down.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::turns to Selan and nods::  Selan:  It is good to see you well.  ::glances at the cane, then back up::

Adm-Alexander says:
TJ: My word, is everyone here? ::looks around for Jared and Jude::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Pauses::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::sees Wilkens out of the corner of her eye::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Acknowledged.

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Smiles half-heartedly:: Adm: I wouldn't be surprised.

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ Admiral: As one once said... "Reports of my death were highly exaggerated.":

XO_VanSickle says:
::secures station::

Meghan says:
@::decides it would be presumptuous to walk over and introduce herself::

CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: Ensign Xye, are you ready?

Adm-Alexander says:
Selan:  It good to see you again, you just took me by surprise is all!

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Nods at TJ, having seen him some time earlier, nods at T'salea, looks at the Admiral's child::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Lets get the equipment ready... test the biobeds...

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: As ready as I'll ever be...

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ Admiral: It seems I am not the only one with a surprise... ::Looks at the child:: I had almost forgotten you were due.

Adm-Alexander says:
ALL: This is T`Sara::grinning from ear to ear::

Capt_Wilkens says:
@Selan: We meet again. ::Frowns:: I'd have to say I much prefer Risa to this.

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:  Sickbay is ready.

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Nods to him:: Wilkens: Me as well...

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: How do you deal with... goose bumps? Or... is it my human side?

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Smiles genuinely for the first time in... weeks::

MO_Siatty says:
::Laughs to himself at doctor’s question.::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::glances at the two men::  Capt:  I hear that congratulations are in order.

Adm-Alexander says:
TJ: Yes, congratulations on your promotion!

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Stares back at the deck plates again before generating another smile:: Adm/Cmd: Thank you Admiral, Commander.

Meghan says:
@::hesitantly approaches the group, knowing some by reputation only::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Looks at TJ's new pip:: Ah, I had heard of a promotion... congratulations. ::Turns to stare at the Scorpius, thinks about what happened on there, sees the small scorch mark on their hull from their earlier battle... anger flares at thoughts of Gul Sur::

CO_TPaula says:
::pauses and doesn't answer the CMO::  OPS: Locate the new host, please.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@Capt:  TJ, is something wrong?

OPS_Russel says:
CO: Aye.

Capt_Wilkens says:
@Cmd: No, Tsalea, I... nothing's wrong.

Adm-Alexander says:
@TJ: What is wrong?  You are not yourself.

CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: Meet me at the docking hatch.  We will escort the host to Sickbay.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::looks closely at him::  Capt:  I know I have entered the ranks of counseling, but I am still your friend, to just talk with.

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Grits teeth, wondering if command would permit him to leave with the Scorpius to find Gul Sur, or maybe he could take his own ship::

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  She's on the docking ring.

Meghan says:
@::shifts her weight from foot to foot and waits to be noticed::

Adm-Alexander says:
@::glances sharply at Selan::  Selan:  Still the cowboy Selan?

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Waves his hand in dismissal:: CNS: I genuinely appreciate your offer, but I've got some things that I need to resolve on my own right now.

CMO_Xye says:
::Looks at Veridia collecting materials:: MO and Veridia: I'll be back... Captain requires me... tell the EMH what is about to happen. He knows more than us on the surgery.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@~~~~Selan: Peace~~~~

CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Contact her and ask her to come to meet us.

Meghan says:
@::clears her throat::

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Acknowledged, although I doubt he performed any either.

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Sans glancing:: Admiral: And you're still the plunderer of minds, old friend? ::Puts up his best smile::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::nods::  Captain:  When you are ready.  I am always available to you.

Adm-Alexander says:
@::notices the young woman clearing her throat::  Meghan:  Yes my dear, can we help you?

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::glances around at a voice being cleared::

CMO_Xye says:
:*CO*: Acknowledged Captain... I'll be there.

EO_Nanapush says:
*CEO* There's nothing more I can do down here Ma'am. Permission to finish duty shift.

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Glances curiously at Meghan, shifting his attention from the brief pieces of conversation directed towards him to Meghan::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Looks at the Trill female::

CEO_AQilla says:
*EO*: Permission granted

CO_TPaula says:
XO: You have the bridge.

OPS_Russel says:
::Opens channel::  COMM:  Meghan:  This is the USS Scorpius, please report to sickbay for transplant.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye ma'am

Meghan says:
@::somewhat hesitantly:: Adm: Ma'am, I am the new host for Nes. I was wondering if you knew the details concerning the operation?

CO_TPaula says:
::leaves for the docking airlock hatch place::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Hears the comm. from the Scorpius, then listens to her::

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::His eyebrow raises into his brow when he hears her::

CMO_Xye says:
::nods at the MO and Nurse Veridia... then leaves to turbolift::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Expression doesn't change::

EO_Nanapush says:
*CEO* I'll be in the lounge if anything comes up.

Adm-Alexander says:
@Meghan:  I am assuming it will be onboard.  Would you like to accompany us there?

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Glances from Meghan to Selan::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::nods her head at Meghan, no expression showing::

Meghan says:
@::responds to the comm::

Meghan says:
@Adm: Would you mind ma'am?

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> ::cuts self on:: Please state the nature... blah blah... hello Siatty.

Adm-Alexander says:
Meghan:  Of course not, Selan or TJ, will you com the S and tell them we have Meghan and are escorting her to sickbay please.

EO_Nanapush says:
::Leaves ME, enters TL:: TL: Deck 7

CO_TPaula says:
::waits for the CMO to show up::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ Admiral: Yes, ma'am.

MO_Siatty says:
EMH:  Greetings EMH.  We are preparing to join Nes with the new host, Meghan I believe.

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ COM: Scorpius: Scorpius, this is Commander Tracianolus on Starbase 64. We're escorting the new host for the... Nes Symbiont onboard...

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Touches his badge, pausing when he sees Selan reacting similarly and motions for him to continue::

CMO_Xye says:
::Steps next to Captain quietly::

Adm-Alexander says:
@ALL: Shall we go aboard now?:: and begins walking to the door of the S::

Meghan says:
@::senses tension from Cmdr. Tracianolus and wonder why::

Cmdr_Selan says:
@ ::Begins moving along, moving the cane before each leg::

OPS_Russel says:
COMM:  Selan:  Understood.

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> Hmm... well... she is a mature adult right?

Capt_Wilkens says:
@::Glances at Meghan, hesitantly, before following Selan and Alexander towards the boarding-gangway hatch::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::follows the admiral::  Adm: May I carry my goddaughter?

Adm-Alexander says:
@enters the S and acknowledges the security on hand::

MO_Siatty says:
EMH: Correct.

Adm-Alexander says:
@T: I would be delighted for you to T.  I was wondering when you were going to ask::handing her the baby::

Meghan says:
@::knows her presence is somewhat disturbing::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
@::takes the baby gently::

OPS_Russel says:
*Sickbay*:  The new host is on its way.

Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  How nice to see you again T'Paula.

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> Good... the host... is it male or female... unlike it matters?

MO_Siatty says:
*OPS*:Acknowledged.  We are ready.

MO_Siatty says:
EMH: Female. Named Meghan.

CO_TPaula says:
::visibly startled to see the admiral::  Adm: Welcome, Admiral.  It is nice to see you as well.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::looks at T'Paula and lifts a hand to greet her, the baby cradled in her other arm::  CO:  Live long and prosper my friend.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Thinks that everything has changed since he was last here::

CO_TPaula says:
::returns the greeting to Tsalea::  T: And you as well.

CMO_Xye says:
::Scans Meghan with his eyes::

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Inclines his head in T'Paula's direction:: CO: Yes, uh, long time no see.

Adm-Alexander says:
::begins walking to the TL and enters waiting on the others::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Doesn't even recognize the security officer’s nearby::

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> Well... you do have the materials collected don't you?

EO_Nanapush says:
::Exits TL, enters Lounge:: Self: mmm, coffee!

Adm-Alexander says:
Selan:  It has changed since we were last here, hasn't it?

MO_Siatty says:
EMH:  Ready and waiting.  All we need now is the host.

Adm-Alexander says:
TL: Sickbay.

CO_TPaula says:
Wilkens: ... Captain.  Welcome aboard.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Enters the TL:: Adm: Yes ma'am... but must you read my mind every think I think something? <S>

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::walks along with everyone, looking down at the babe, a smile in her eyes.  Almost the circle of life.  One enters the galaxy as one leaves::

CO_TPaula says:
::follows everyone into the TL::

Capt_Wilkens says:
CO: Thank you.

CMO_Xye says:
::wonders why he hasn't been spoken to or introduced::

Adm-Alexander says:
ALL: Here we are::exiting the TL and walking down to sickbay::

CO_TPaula says:
Selan:  Greetings.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::shakes her head as sorrow touches her again... this was twice now::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Nods at T'paula:: CO: Greetings to you as well Captain.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Exits the TL, slower than the others, doesn't even know if he wants to watch this::

CO_TPaula says:
Meghan: This is Dr. Xye; he will be in charge of the operation.

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Enters Sickbay at the tail end of the party, now numbering at five::

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> *CMO*: What is taking you so long boso?

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: I thought the EMH had been repaired.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::glances up at Meghan::

Meghan says:
::nods at the Doctor::

CMO_Xye says:
Meghan: Hello... nice to meet you.

Adm-Alexander says:
::wonders about this EMH program::

Meghan says:
CMO: Hello Doctor.

Adm-Alexander says:
:;glances at T'Paula quizzically::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Stops outside of sickbay, looking inside::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Taps his fingers on the cane::

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> *CO*: I am repaired... sorry Captain. Jim... is... irritating me with his logic yet he is late.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::turns to look at Selan::

Adm-Alexander says:
~~~~T: I think someone needs to be with Selan, this cannot be easy for him.~~~~

EO_Nanapush says:
::Sits and unbuttons his collar as he takes a sip from his coffee.::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Sighs to himself, and enters slowly::

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Please do something about the EMH; it is too outgoing.

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Watches as the doors leading to Sickbay sigh closed behind Selan::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::lightly nods to the admiral.::

CMO_Xye says:
CMO: Yes Captain.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::Walks over to Selan and stands by him::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Glances at T'salea and the baby she holds::

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> ADM: Hello Admiral... looks like you lost a few pounds. ::bursts into laughter::

CO_TPaula says:
::follows Selan's glance and glances at the baby too::

Adm-Alexander says:
CMO: When will the procedure begin?

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Selan:  A new life...

CO_TPaula says:
Computer: Deactivate EMH.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Thinks that he should've been here, fighting along side the others, instead of answering continuous questions for Command regarding the so-called "Cloak Squad"::

CMO_Xye says:
<EMH_Xye> ::Disappears while laughing::

Meghan says:
::wishes the Joining would happen soon::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Hears the EMH laugh as it disappears::

CMO_Xye says:
CO: Maybe I should make him Vulcan.... not as emotional.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Frowns, and considers moving over to a computer, and deleting the program::

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: That is not the matter at hand.

Capt_Wilkens says:
Self: Those things get odder and odder.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Selan:  We each go where we are needed as we are needed, or as some believe, as fate dictates.

XO_VanSickle says:
Bridge crew: OK, everyone.  Let the next shift take over and prepare for Shania's funeral.

Cmdr_Selan says:
T'salea: Yes... that we do.

CMO_Xye says:
ADM: The surgery shall begin soon.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Selan:  You are well?

OPS_Russel says:
XO:  Aye commander.  ::Gets up and walks to TL.::

Cmdr_Selan says:
T'salea: I am fine. ::Looks over at the symbiont::

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Aye Sir.  ::acknowledges replacement officer and heads for TL::

CO_TPaula says:
::watches the medical people and looks stern::

CMO_Xye says:
Meghan: Could you please lie down on this biobed. ::points::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::nods::  Selan:  If you get the chance... I am currently assigned to the USS Europa.

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Stares restlessly at the Senior Medical Officer and then at his aides, his attention diverting from one thing to the next::

Adm-Alexander says:
T'Paula: I don't mean to sound critical here, but are you sure your CMO knows what he is doing?

Meghan says:
::gets on the biobed::

Meghan says:
::lies down::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Looks at T'salea:: You're the new Counselor there... correct?

Adm-Alexander says:
TJ: Come over here by me... we can worry together.

CO_TPaula says:
Adm: He passed Starfleet's screening, ma'am.

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Smiles weakly and then moves to the Admiral's side, nervously clasping his hands before him::

OPS_Russel says:
Computer:  Deck 2.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Selan:  Relatively new.  I came aboard more in the role of ambassador.  We shall see how long I will be assigned there.

Adm-Alexander says:
::shakes her head::  CO:  I think someone goofed::and frowns::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Takes in a large breath of air::

CMO_Xye says:
ADM: Sir... I'm going to require some "elbow room"... it is not safe to have too many people in the  Sickbay while the surgery is commencing.

XO_VanSickle says:
::sees the Beta Shift commander and gives him the bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits to the TL:: Computer: Deck 2.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Looks away from the operation, decides to move over to a console, using his cane::

Adm-Alexander says:
CMO: I believe I have probably been at more joinings than you... I suggest you get on with this, before there are complications.

OPS_Russel says:
::Gets out of the TL and walks to his quarters::

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Stares at the Doctor, as if sizing him up::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::Picking up on TJ looks over at him, wanting to help::

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters quarters to prepare for funeral::

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL arrives at deck 2::

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits, walks corridor to quarters, enters::

OPS_Russel says:
::Enters quarters and gets ready for funeral::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Taking his mind off the operation, he accesses the program files on the EMH, comparing them with the original program files of the original EMH that HE remembers::

XO_VanSickle says:
::changes into dress uniform::

OPS_Russel says:
::Puts his dress uniform on::

CMO_Xye says:
::Grabs utensils and walks to Meghan:: MO: We will have to surgically remove the symbiont from the stomach area.

CEO_AQilla says:
::changes into dress uniform::

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Uncomfortably turns away, his stomach churning::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::lightly bouncing the baby, noting what Selan is doing is probably therapeutic.  Walks over to TJ::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Sees the differences that have been made, not at all liking that laugh, he begins to reenter the files from the original working::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Considers this a "present to the Scorpius crew," not at all trusting the current EMH::

CMO_Xye says:
::looks at the MO:: Where is the symbiont?

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: In the medical pod right here.

EO_Nanapush says:
::Nanapush slumps into a deep sleep in the lounge::

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Uneasily:: CNS: So... how do you like the Europa?

Adm-Alexander says:
~~~~Selan:  Way to go, and make sure no one can tamper with that EMH again!~~~~

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Cracks his knuckles, trying to remember those darn engineering skills, then finally gets it right, reprograms the EMH back to normal, types "reload" and gets the computer to reload the original EMH::

CO_TPaula says:
::watches Selan::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::glances at Trish with a raised eyebrow::

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:  Make the incision, and I will place Nes in when ready.

Cmdr_Selan says:
~~~~Alexander: I could only do that if Captain T'paula or the CEO authorized me, ma'am. And entered the code themselves.~~~~

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Okay... could you get ready to put it in. ::injects Meghan with pain relief::

Adm-Alexander says:
~~~~Selan: Then by all means, tell T'Paula, I am sure she is tired of it also.~~~~

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Watches as Selan and Alexander participate in what he can only guess to be a telepathic "conversation"::

CMO_Xye says:
::Cuts into belly slowly with medical laser::

Cmdr_Selan says:
~~~~Adm: Yes, ma'am.~~~~ ::Gestures for T'paula to please come over, not at all glancing at the symbiont::

MO_Siatty says:
::Picks up Nes and prepares to place in.::

CO_TPaula says:
::comes over::

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits quarters and heads to the lounge where the funeral will take place::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Whispers to T'paula:: CO: I have reprogrammed the EMH to the normal parameters. Forgive me, but I did not believe that the EMH that I saw was... the same that I remember from when I left. I need you to input authorization to keep it at this program, and to make it no longer change.

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Ready Doctor?

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes cut and opens here motioning MO::

Cmdr_Selan says:
<W> CO: As well, prohibit any more modifications unless you, the XO, or 2nd officer deems it so.

CO_TPaula says:
::quietly:: Selan: What about engineering staff?

MO_Siatty says:
:: Places Nes into Host.::

CMO_Xye says:
::motions to MO again:: MO: I am ready.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Capt:  TJ...  ::looks quietly at him.::  Would you care to hold the babe?

MO_Siatty says:
:: Gets Auto sutures and gives them to Dr. Xye.::

Cmdr_Selan says:
<W> CO: I can program authorization for the CEO as well.

CO_TPaula says:
Selan: Very well.  ::enters her authorization code::

CMO_Xye says:
::begins to stabilize the symbiont inside the host::

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Turns to look at Tsalea, a brief smile tugging at the corners of his face:: Tsalea: No, thank you. I don't mean to sound rude, but I have a lot on my mind right now.

Cmdr_Selan says:
<Computer> Authorization code accepted. EMH program Mark 4 remodified to original parameters.

Cmdr_Selan says:
<Computer> Do you wish to activate EMH?

OPS_Russel says:
::Gets out of his quarters and walks to the lounge.::

Cmdr_Selan says:
Computer: No.

MO_Siatty says:
::Begins Benzocyatizine 39 scan.::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Capt:  I would be surprised if you did not.  You did before as OPS.  Going through the ranks of command, you gain more thoughts to consider.

Adm-Alexander says:
Selan:  It looks as if the procedure is finished, and what I can read of her mind, she is well.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Turns to look at the Admiral:: Adm: I'm sorry Admiral, who?

Capt_Wilkens says:
Cmd: Sounds logical. ::Self: That was deep::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::Looks up at the admiral at her words then over towards Nes...::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Tell me what you have on readings when you have them.

Adm-Alexander says:
Selan: Meghan Nes, Selan.

Cmdr_Selan says:
Adm: Oh yes... Nes.

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Doctor, are you finished?

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:  So far Isoboramine levels are normal.  We will have to monitor for a short while.

Adm-Alexander says:
T: Is the baby too much for you?  If so, I can hold her again::smiling at her friend::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Stands up, using the cane for support::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Then I will seal the stomach and that will be it for now.

Cmd_Tsalea says:
Adm:  Not at all...  ~~~~I am trying to distract TJ from his troubles, whatever they may be.... if only for a moment~~~~

CMO_Xye says:
::begins to seal the stomach of Meghan::

Adm-Alexander says:
~~~~T:  Good, he was always too inward thinking.~~~~

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters lounge::

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Taps his fingers on the console, thinking about taking on Gul Sur... about paying him back for what he has done::

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes the sealing and is finished with Meghan::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
~~~~Adm:  He has not changed...~~~~  ::a glint touches her eyes::

Adm-Alexander says:
::walks over to the new Nes::  Meghan:  All is well, and we will speak with you later when you have recovered more.

MO_Siatty says:
::Runs full medical scan to make sure all is well.::

Meghan says:
::half nods::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::patting the young girls arm::

CMO_Xye says:
::Smirks at Meghan trying to be somewhat comforting::

Adm-Alexander says:
T/TJ/Selan:  I think we should leave for a while to let Meghan recover.  Shall we go to the Oasis?

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::nods at Nes::

Cmd_Tsalea says:
::looks up at Trish::  Adm:  agreed.

Capt_Wilkens says:
::Nods:: Adm: Sounds great.

Cmdr_Selan says:
::Nods as well::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::the four old friends leave the sickbay for the Oasis::

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:  All medical readings show normal.

CO_TPaula says:
::stands around near the wall by herself::

CMO_Xye says:
::Walks to MO:: This surgery went well... slow and easy. But I know they will complain. No logic in rushing surgery.

CO_TPaula says:
::realizes everyone is leaving and follows them::

Capt_Wilkens says:
CO: Joining us, Captain?
