U.S.S. Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10604.06

Mission # 248

Time flies when you're having fun! The crew of the dignified USS Sharikahr was ordered from the Cardassian Border toward the location of the Defiant Class USS Saber Tooth in order to free her crew from a group of terrorists known as the Red Allegiance.

When the Sharikahr first reached the Saber Tooth, the ship was in rather bad shape, with weapons inoperable. However, the terrorist leader had a probe modified with explosives, which hit the Sharikahr and caused several explosions throughout the Bridge. These explosions harmed Captain Horn and also the newly assigned Executive Officer, Hockensmith.

Unfortunately, Doctor Cartwright could not save Commander Hockensmith. Captain Horn was sent to Sickbay under critical care, but she would live. During all of this, Commander Irvin from the Don Johnson's crew was ejected from the Saber Tooth's air lock. Lucky for him, the Sharikahr caught him in time and his wounds were healed.

The Sharikahr's Away Team boarded the Saber Tooth and found a ship full of sleeping crew and terrorists. After securing most of the ship, it was up to the Away Team to re-take the Bridge and Main Engineering. The terrorist leader did not wish to give the Saber Tooth back to the crew, so she activated the Auto-Destruct sequence.

No matter what the members of both crews tried they could not stop the auto destruct sequence. Those officers who were outside of Main Engineering were transported to the Sharikahr's Cargo Bay and the most critically wounded were sent directly to Sickbay. Those officers remaining in Main Engineering took several escape pods out of the ship.

Suddenly the Saber Tooth exploded, causing shockwaves to hit the Sharikahr and escape pods. Those on the escape pods were injured rather badly. After the shockwaves had ceased, the Sharikahr transported to Don Johnson survivors to the Sharikahr.

The Sharikahr was ordered to report to Starbase 310 where the Don Johnson crew is to be dropped off and the Senior Staff is to meet with Admiral Garrison. What will come of this meeting? Will Lieutenant Rodos be demoted all the way down to Cadet?

::enters the Conference Room behind the CEO and sits down::

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands at the back of the room, kinda stand offish::

ACTION: Rear Admiral Davis-Patterson enters the Conference Room with a blank expression on her face. Admiral Garrison is no where to be seen.

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::stands to attention and salutes::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::stands at attention as the Admiral enters::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::straightens up at attention as the Admiral enters::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::sits back down::

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands a little bit straighter, but not much::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::still standing near the window not knowing whether to stay there but takes a seat any how::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::takes a seat next to the CNS::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::sits quickly next to the FCO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::sits down in a chair next to the CMO and reaches out to hold his hand under the table unseen::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
Irvin/CIV: Commander, Ensign, take a seat as well.

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::sits down quickly::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::remains standing::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::grabs the FCO's hand under the table::

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow, then finds a chair, not directly associated with the confrence table::  RADM: Due Respect Admiral, I'm not a part of the Sharikahr crew and am at a loss as to why I am here....

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::begins to tune out the many emotions and feelings in the room one by one till things are quiet::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
Irvin: Commander, perhaps I should repeat myself. Take a seat, that is an order.

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::raises eyebrows into a frustrated facial expression, then joins the rest of the crew at the table::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::lifts a brow curiously::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: I know you were expecting Admiral Garrison to conduct this debriefing, but due to the circumstances I decided it would be best if I came here and did so personally. ::sets a medium sized bag on the table::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::feels relieved at that::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
ALL: I understand that the situation you were put through was not easy. However, you did successfully bring the Don Johnson's crew back home safely, for that, I thank you. ::pauses:: There are a few changes that Starfleet Command has decided should take place aboard the Sharikahr.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
ALL: For one, Captain Horn has been reassigned to Starfleet Intelligence for undisclosed reasons. This means that you will be breaking in a new Commanding Officer again. I know that the replacement will serve you well. Also, the Executive Officer position has been vacant for quite some time, which will need to be filled today.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::is not surprised::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::looks interested::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow... another command staff change?::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
ALL: I regret Starfleet Command's decision, however, I am forced to fix it.

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::assuming the CEO will be put in command since he's next in line::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
Irvin: Commander Elisha Irvin, front and center.

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::wonders what the Admiral has up her sleeve... or in the bag, for that matter::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::is completely unaware of what is going on but has a good idea::

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands up, confused.  He looks around at the crew, eyebrows raised and lips persed in frustration and bewilderment::

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks up::  

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::leans back and squeezes the FCO's hand::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
Irvin: Commander Elisha Irvin, Starfleet Command placed you aboard the Don Johnson as her Chief Engineering Officer temporarily until a position that would suit your skills was found. ::places a hand inside the bag and pulls out a little black velvet box::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks at the CNS with a curious expression, as if to ask her if she has any idea what's going on::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
Irvin: Commander, with the departure of Captain Horn the position of Commanding Officer remains vacant. It is my pleasure to promote you back to the rank of Captain and assign you as Commanding Officer of the Sharikahr. Congratulations, Captain. I do hope you serve her well. ::pins the fourth golden pip to his collar::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks at the ADM::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks at the RADM and at Commander... er, Captain Irvin.. and just wonders::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CMO: Looks like its good news for you. ::whispers::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::meets the FCO's eyes for a moment and then glances back toward the newly promoted CO::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::gives a simple nod toward Irvin though she knows he cannot see::

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::raises eyebrow::  RADM: Thank you Admiral, I am honored to be sure... 

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::leans over to wisper to the Admiral::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::shakes his head:: ~~~FCO: Not likely.~~~

Cmdr_Irvin says:
::whisper:: RADM: We need to talk after.... 

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::looks up at the new CO and wonders::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: That we will, Captain. ::smiles ever-so-slightly:: CO: If you would remain to my side, that would be satisfactory.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::sighs and shrugs her shoulders and looks at him with a darting look:: ~~~:CMO: Pessimist!~~~ ::looks back away and draws her hand back to her and places them on the table top::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks at the CNS, wondering what she's thinking::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::frowns and hangs his head::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Lieutenant Rodos Falor, front and center.

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::raises a confused eyebrow and stands up, approaching the RADM and the new CO::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::looks up sharply, having a good guess what's coming::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::thinks... here it comes.. demoted!::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::returns to his seat, still not anywhere near the center of the table - kinda in the middle situated close to the CNS as she is the only one that he really is aquainted with::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::smiles at the new CO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::smiles and nods to the new CO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::wonders how she'll fair with a male CO since the last several were female::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::stops in front of the RADM::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Lieutenant Rodos, you have had a rather interesting career aboard the Sharikahr since your arrival as her Chief Engineering Officer. I was not sure if I approved of your appointment as Second Officer, You allowed the Saber Tooth to be destroyed, but you also have served in a command capacity several times over the past months.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::speaks up::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::listening, her eyes roam the room::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::tries to keep his composure::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::swallows hard, feeling the pain of being denied again::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
RADM: Sir, there was no other way.  ::stands up::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::her eyes settle on the FCO::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::turns and looks at the FCO:: FCO: Sit down, Commander, please... I didn't follow orders, its as simple as that.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::grabs the FCO's wrist and tries to pull her back into her seat:: FCO: Amber, no.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
::extends her hand toward the FCO:: FCO: Commander, this is not the time. ::looks back toward the CO:: CO: And Captain, if you would mind coming back to my side?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::stands up again::  Self, Under Breath:  I tell ya...   red-headed step child.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
RADM: Sir, if you reprimand him you might as well reprimand all of us. ::Stands her ground but doesn't say any more.::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::feels like a prisoner awaiting his execution::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Commander, that is enough. ::gives her 'the look'::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::rubs her temple and sighs::
 
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: We'll talk about it later Cartwright... 

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Lieutenant, after some careful consideration I have decided to promote you to the Executive Officer position aboard the Sharikahr, with all of the rights and privileges hereto. Congratulations, Lieutenant and remember, I will be watching you.

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::drops his jaw:: RADM: Admiral?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::scowls deeply::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::grins widely::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::jaw drops::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: I didn't stutter, Lieutenant. Congratulations. Now please take your place next to Captain Irvin.

::her eyes shift to the FCO's husband::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::reachs for the pip and pins it on him::

Host CEO_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles:: RADM: Thank you, ma'am.

::considers this group of command officers rather unique in that they are all married here except for three::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::looks bewildered but stands and makes her way to the front::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::is still in the dark but claps for the crew members as she knows that they probably deserve it::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::settles herself back down once again at the RADM's look::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Self: Oh great another newbie.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
RADM: Permission to meet with you privately following this meeting Admiral...

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Granted, Captain.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::lets go of his anger::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::leans on his wife a bit::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::feels the CMO's anger recede::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::puts her hands to her head in pain:: Self: Ouch that smarts.

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::sighs in relief::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
All: If there is nothing else, you are dismissed.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::dismissed, on silent feet exits the room and heads down the hall::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::doesn't move from her chair just yet::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
RADM: Sir If you have a second?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Mr. Rodos...  I'll be with you in a minute...   There are a couple of things that I need to get cleared up with Admiral Patterson...   I don't think this is going to work too well.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CIV: Yes, Ensign?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Aye sir. I'll wait outside.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks at him:: CMO: Alright Logan Cartwright.  What is going on with you?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::takes Millicent's hand and heads out into the corridor::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::gets up and walks over to her:: RADM: Is the new captain aware of my er.... jacket yet?

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
CO: Shall I stay too Captain?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::shakes his head:: FCO: Nothing important. Let's get out of here.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CIV: Ensign, you are serving as a Support Officer, not under Starfleet Intelligence at this time.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Nahhh...  That won't be necessary..  Feel free to go about your business..  I'll beep your com badge once I'm done.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods at the CO and leaves the Conference Room::

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::looks at the Admiral:: RADM: Sir???

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
::follows her husband out::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::leads the FCO out of the room::

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CIV: That is all that will be said, Ensign.

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
RADM: Understood sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CMO: Not yet mister.  We have to resolve this first if we're gonna enjoy of time off.  Are you still beating yourself up about what happened on the Sabertooth?

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::turns and walks out of the conference room::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::overhears as he approaches::  RADM: New Jacket?

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
Self: OK this is going to be real interesting.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::takes Millicent's hand into his own and looks at her, smiling::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
FCO: No. ::leans against the wall outside the conference room::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
XO: Congratulations!

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles:: CNS: You too!

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CMO: So what is it?  ::looks very concerned about him::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::arriving back at the docking bay, checks in with the duty officer::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CNS: To be honest, I was expecting a demotion...

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::exits the conference room and heads for her quarters and a communique to a certain commander::

CNS_Lt_M_Rodos says:
XO: Well, shall we go enjoy ourselves then?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::glances at the new XO without saying anything::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CNS: I think we shall. ::smiles at her::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks at the XO:: CMO: Him?  Falor?  Is that the problem?  Cause he got the XO spot and not you?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
RADM: Prudence... We really need to talk about the feasability of all this...   

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looks at the CMO increduously::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
FCO: No, because you didn't.

Host RADM_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: You will address my as Admiral, Captain. ::looks toward him:: CO: And we shall speak in a few moments. Meet me in my office in ten minutes. ::looks around at everyone before exiting::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::laughs:: CMO: Me!?  I didn't want that.  At least not yet.  I'm happy flying this ship.  When I'm ready I'll apply for it and probably get it.

CIV_Ens_B_Rochelle says:
::enters her quarters and sits down at her computer terminal and opens it up::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::shakes head::  RADM:  Yes "Ma'am"!

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::heads out fo the confrence room::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::takes him by the arm and leads him to their quarters on the Sharikahr:: CMO: But thanks for worrying. I love you!
