<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Shore Leave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@:: walking with Shoshoni around the promenade::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::On the bridge going over last minute upgrade reports::

CNS_Rand says:
@::steps off the personnel transport and stretches her legs::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@Shoshoni: I know boy we have to begin to get our things to gather for the Scorpion.

CNS_Rand says:
@::walks toward the docking bay exit, but pauses for a moment at one of the computer consoles to access station information::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::finishes the upgrade reports, then turns his attention to the list of new crew members::

CNS_Rand says:
@Self: Not far.  ::smiles to herself and makes arrangements for her things to be transported to the USS Scorpius, then heads toward their berth::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Notices that the flight crew has had some major changes.  Realizing that FCO Heath won’t be on the bridge anymore suddenly hits him::

CNS_Rand says:
@::looks out the various windows at the docked ships, catches a glimpse of the Scorpius and nods:: Self:  Not bad.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::Shoshoni suddenly pulls on his leash and nearly drags her towards the air lock::  Shoshoni: Whoa boy what is going on.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: They are all your responsibility, T`Lok, and you let her down.  

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::realizes that he has smelled a familiar scent::  Shoshoni: Who is it???  Who do you smell?

CNS_Rand says:
@::reaches the ramp and starts up, pausing long enough to hand the security officer her orders::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks down at the crew roster again, and notices that the Scorpius is getting a Councilor::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: Well, perhaps I will break this new counselor in the right way, and unload my feelings of guilt and inadequacy on her.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::turns head to see the familiar face of her brother::

Security Guard says:
@CNS: Everything is in order, Ma'am.  Welcome aboard.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::walks with Shoshoni over to where he is standing::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@Walking Tall Wolf:  Brother what are you doing here?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Puts the report down, and decides to send his wife a communiqué::

ACTION:  Cargo loads begin to be sorted onto the ship

CNS_Rand says:
@SEC: Thank you, Lieutenant.  ::continues up and onto the ship, looking around at the few people near the hatch, then continues toward the turbolift::  

Walking Tall Wolf says:
@Deer: Sister I finally found you.  ::hugs her tight::

CNS_Rand says:
::waits briefly for a lift, then leans against the back of it as the doors slide shut again:: Computer: Bridge

CNS_Rand says:
::takes a deep breath, then shakes her head slightly to clear her thoughts as the turbolift eases to a stop and the doors open::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Finishes his letter to his wife, and has it sent to her through subspace::

CNS_Rand says:
::looks around at the skeleton crew on the bridge::  Self: This looks like what I remember.  ::smiles and toward the officer of the watch::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Hears someone exiting the turbolift, turns and sees an unfamiliar, Vulcan face standing there::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@Walking Tall Wolf: What is it????

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: You must be Lieutenant Commander Kalla Rand.

Walking Tall Wolf says:
@::looks to the ground:: Deer: Sister Mother is taken ill.  The doctors don't know if we will recover but then we never did believe in doctors?  ::looks up at her::

CNS_Rand says:
::looks up at the Klingon command officer and smiles:: XO: Aye, Sir, reporting for duty as ordered.  ::holds out the PADD containing her orders::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes the PADD, looks at it, then sets it down:: CNS: Welcome aboard.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.  Commander Garta-Nmbarri is it?  ::wanting to make sure she remembers the names correctly::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Tell me, why did you decide to take a deep space assignment?  According to your file, you were very comfortable assisting at the academy.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Yes, that is who I am.  The Captain isn't available at the moment.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@Walking Tall Wolf: I know deep inside that mother will pull through.  You know of my gift with the spirit of the wolf.  She will recover.  Now go home and tell father that you found me and gave me the news. ::hugs her brother as he begins to walk towards his shuttle::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: To be honest, Commander, the decision wasn't just mine.  Command also had a hand in the decision.  It seems that I had been away from space too long and was loosing some effectiveness in my training classes.

ACTION:  Replacement crew begin to report in and find quarters

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::taps her combage:: *XO*: This is Ens. Deer I will be boarding the ship in five minutes.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I see.  And, your Deltan heritage won’t be a problem, I assume?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Very good, Ensign.  I am sure your engine room will be right where you left it.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: No sir, it should pose no problem to my duties or the crew.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@*XO*: Yes and I will need to see what these so called SB engineers have done to my lady.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: My Vulcan heritage helps me to have better control over the pheromones that tend to cause the problems.  

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Very good.  I am sure this crew will assist you in sharpening your skills.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Well, from the reports that I have been reading, you should have your hands full with new systems.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@*XO*: I was afraid of that. Blasted youngsters don't know a hyper spanner from a plasma cutter.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I have no doubt about that.  From what I have read about the ship and her crew, you all have been through quite a lot together and suffered greatly in the process.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Thinks about Heath, and a whole slew of others:: CNS: Yes, indeed.

CNS_Rand says:
::notice the slight change in the Exec's expression:: XO: Is there anything I can help you with, Commander?  Or that you would like to talk about?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@Shoshoni: Come we must leave for the ship. ::walks for her quarters and gathers up all her things and places a saddle like thing on Shoshoni's back::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: There is a lot on my mind, Commander.  But, now isn't the time.  I have to make sure this bird is ready to fly tomorrow.  However, you can expect to hear from me soon.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::puts her medicine bag and her spirit guide pouch on the other side so Shoshoni can help her at the same time::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Understood, Commander.  I'll be available at your discretion.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@::both Deer and Shoshoni walk to the docking ring as security checks her credentials and eyes the wolf::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@SEC: You don't have to worry he will not do anything to you as long as you don't attempt to touch me in a certain manner.  ::laughs as his face changes::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Very good.  I hope you find your quarters and office to your liking.  

Security Guard says:
@CEO: No  ma'am I not going to make any sudden moves but he is a beautiful pup.  How old is he now?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
@SEC: He is about 8 months old.  He will grow some more but not to much. ::turns:: Shoshoni: Come on lets get settled I have to report to engineering but first to the XO.

CNS_Rand says:
::looks around the bridge again:: XO: I'm sure I will, Commander.  If there is nothing else, I'll get the information from OPS concerning my quarters and clearance codes, then visit my office and make sure that the Counseling department is ready for departure.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* One other thing, Ensign.  This bird launches at 0900 hours in the morning.  I trust you will make sure she is ready?

Security Guard says:
@CEO: Good luck ma'am.   

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hears her combage:: *XO*: Yes Sir just coming aboard her now.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: nothing more, Commander.  You are dismissed.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::Shoshoni takes off for their quarters ahead of her but not to far as to loose sight of his master::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sits back down in the big chair::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: Thank you, Sir.  ::turns and walks over to the Operations console and speaks quietly with the officer there to get the information she needs::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::as he approaches the doors he sits patiently::

CNS_Rand says:
::takes the PADD and reads through the information before thanking the young man, then heads to the lift and deck 7::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::Deer opens her quarters and finds that Tia has already checked in and has gone to her duty station so she puts her things on the bed and Shoshoni races for his corner and begins to play with his toys::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Shoshoni:  Now behave yourself. You have food and water and your things.  Don't go messing up the bed of Tia now.  She is back but on the bridge.  ::Shoshoni barks his good boy bark and Deer leaves their quarters::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::she enters the TL:: Computer: Bridge Express!

CNS_Rand says:
::walks down the corridors of deck 7 looking for her office, finds it and enters the key codes to open the doors::

CNS_Rand says:
::looks around the rooms and frowns:: Self: We have a lot of work to do here.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the chronometer, and sees that there is slightly more than 12 hours till launch:: 

CNS_Rand says:
::sits down at her desk and accesses the computer, begins putting a requisition list together::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::as the lift stops with a jerk, she makes a note in her PADD for someone to look into this jerking lift::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::enters the bridge and walks right up to her XO::  XO: Ens. Deer reporting for duty sir. Permission to come aboard?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sends a message to all department heads, requesting last minute finalizations that the ship is ready to fly::

CNS_Rand says:
::remembers what the Commander said about launch and hopes that she can get everything on board before then::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Permission granted.  Welcome back/

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Thank you sir.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: I see we have new crew replacements.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::noting especially the new FCO::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Yes, we have quite a few new crew members.  I noticed that Engineering even has a few new, green, ensigns assigned there.  Good luck. ::Smiles::

CNS_Rand says:
::completes the requisition list and submits it to Operations, marked soonest, then hears the chirp from an incoming message::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Yes I saw the engineering roster earlier.  I hate to break in new green kids.  But then again I was a newbie as well.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: We all were at one time.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::smiles and laughs::  XO: Yes we were sir yes we were.

CNS_Rand says:
*XO* Rand to the Bridge.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: How is the misses?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Pre-launch count down will commence at 0800 hours.  I want this bird flying by 0900.  We will take a short shake down cruise around the system first, to iron out any bugs in the new systems.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* Go ahead counselor.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Understood sir.  Would you like me to do my work from the bridge or from engineering itself?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: I would think that you would want to be in engineering for now.  Once you are certain that the systems are working ok, return to the bridge, unless, of course, those green ensigns can handle it all themselves?

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Commander, I just received your message about department readiness.  I must apologize, however Counseling may not be ready.  I've submitted a supply requisition and once we receive those supplies, we will be ready to depart if not completely ready for work.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: As for the Jeni, she is still on the Klingon Home World.  Her grandmother is doing better from what I understand. 

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::smiles and grins:: XO: I think you are right sir.  Let me get back to my engine room.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Good to hear that she is ok and her grandmother is doing better.  Please send her my regards and let her know that I will be doing the healing chant for her.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* your situation is understandable, Commander.  Do the best that you can for now.  Once you have everything you need, submit a readiness report to the bridge.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::nods and heads for the TL::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: I believe Jeni would appreciate that.  Thank you.

CNS_Rand says:
*XO* Aye sir, Rand out.  ::begins working on getting the department ready::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Thinks to himself that this counselor is going to take everything very literally::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::steps into the TL:: Computer: Engineering ASAP.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::thinking about the engine room and a new set of ensigns fresh from the academy is not setting to well with her::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::as the TL comes to a stop with a jerk she steps out and into engineering::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::Sees the new ensigns and the rest of her old crew as they hustle to do the remaining fine tuning of the new systems and smiles::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*All Hands* Attention all hands.  This is Commander Garta-Nmbarri.  The ship launches in 12 hours.  The Captain will be returning by 0730 hours.  I want this ship ready for her inspection, and ready to fly on time.  You are the best crew in Star Fleet, I have the utmost faith that you will make sure we are ready to fly.  Garta-Nmbarri out.
