USS Sharikahr NCC-81204 – Stardate, 10608.03
The crew of the valiant USS Sharikahr has gone through some extremely difficult times over the past year. They have faced death, deception, and have been tempted by anger, destruction, and desire. However, even through all of this, the crew of the Sharikahr stands strong. They are a family, a family that will get through anything together.
Starfleet decided to grant the crew a three months Shore Leave, which would give the crew a chance to meet with family and friends. During this time, the Sharikahr underwent several refits to increase sensor array efficiency, shielding, and an entire new bridge module.
It is now time for the crew to report back to duty. Their orders are to report to Arcadia Station and pick up two officials of the President's cabinet. Once this is done, the crew will report to a signing between the United Federation of Planets and the Amenti.
We return to Starbase 310, where the Sharikahr's refits have been completed, and the time has come for the crew to reunite and leave for Arcadia Station.
Will the Sharikahr successfully reach Arcadia Station? Will Captain Irvin have left the refits of the ship alone?

*CSO*:  Upgrade?  I'll have to check on that.  Can I get an ETA.  The Captain seems to be in a rush.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps out of the lift, seeming just a little more confident (or is that cocky?) than the last time he set foot on the Sharikahr's bridge::

CO:  Science Chief still to arrive.  ::checks for the CSO's request in the database::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:

<Shá> CSO: But I want to see the Bridge. You told me you have to tell your boss. I want to see them too! ::He pulls his hand away::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
*CSO*:  New quarters are ... hang on...  ::voice trails off as he squints at his console::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:

EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::arrives on the bridge::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant. ::stands up and walks over to the ready room and hits the chimes::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::takes a deep breath::  Self: Ok...  I can work now.  This is my home away from home.

:: the door to be facing the XO::  
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::pops out of the Jefferies tube and enters the bridge a sweaty mess::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
*CSO*:  Room 253.  Any personal affects you left behind should be stowed in there all ready.
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: Good. I don't like lies.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Oh!  
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*OPS*:  Thank you. I appreciate it.  :: steps into the turbolift.::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::sees him:: CMO: Greetings Lt., did you and the wife have a good shore leave?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::jumps as the CO almost walks into him::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::looks up as the access hatch nearest him opens, and raises an eyebrow:: CMO: Lifts busted already, doctor?

::chuckles::  
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Computer, deck 2.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Yes Commander?
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: It is not my habit to lie.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CO: All senior staff is aboard, the ship is ready to go.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*: Counselor, if I could have a moment of your time?
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS: Very good Lt.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Excellent...  Announce Departure Stations again.... 
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::goes over to Engineering station::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO: I no longer trust TL’s Lt.
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: That's what they all say...
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, the pair step off::  Shá: All as in...?
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*CSO*: Absolutely. Do you need to meet somewhere? CMO: Good, should Victory expect a playmate soon?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
All: Departure Stations... all departments prepare for undocking procedures.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*: If you could come to my new quarters?  We are now in room 253.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::shrugs up a shoulder, not really getting the point, but oh well:: CMO: To each their own, I guess, sir. ::goes back to his console::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
XO:  Aye.  ::starts keying the console::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Mr. Ki...  Clear all moorings and signal the dock master...  Sharikahr requesting permission to depart.
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::prepares for undocking::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::walks back to his chair and sits::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Good to see you again Captain.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::sends a message to his personnel to maintain standard patrol stations::
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: I require food... food.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::smiles as he is sitting::  CMO: Good to see you Doctor. ::looks to the doctor::  You look like you've been in a wrestling match...  You ok?
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*CSO* Be there in minute.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye aye Captain!  :: keying speeds up::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::brings his station and relevant systems into their regular, standby mode as they make ready to get underway::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::requests permission to depart::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Pauses before the doors and keys in her command codes::  Shá: Food should be relatively easy.  Did you have a preference?
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Lt. So'tsoh needs my assistance. I will return as soon as I can.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Didn't notice me crawling out of the Jefferies tube?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::nods to the CNS::  CMO: No... Actually I didn't...  You scared of the turbo lifts this week?
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Permission to depart granted Captain.
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: Hmm... something that is alive.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Scared of them period sir. Every time I get in one, it seems they malfunction.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lights come on, she scans the room before entering.  As the doors close, she lets go of the childs hand.::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the TL::TL: Crew quarters
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Slave in helm if you would please...   Stand by reversal vector through the port gates....
Host Cory says:
<Shá> ::He remains at the door, looking around at everything, not moving a muscle::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: We do not eat live food.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Not gonna happen now...   ::smiles:: 
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: You are very optimistic sir.
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: Then I will never eat.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::accesses helm control and inputs the commands::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: Then you will go hungry.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::gets to the crew quarters and heads to #253::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Removing her jacket, she lays it across the back of a chair as she heads for the replicator, scanning he room as she goes.::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain, would you like me to fly?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Have you had a milkshake in the last 2 hours?
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: Why are you so mean?
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Yes sir.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Then no.  ::smiles::  Thank you though.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: You do not think eating something alive is cruel?
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::double checks the status of the mooring clamps just in case::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Orders macaroni and cheese and a cheese sandwich::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::arrives at the CSO's quarters and rings the chime::
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: No, it is in my very nature. ::He stares at her, not moving from the door::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CTO: How's security looking, Mr. Arinoch?
Host Cory says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr's mooring clamps and umbilicals are released.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: calls out as she brings the food to the table.::  CNS: Enter.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Sir, there were no worms in it this time.
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: I will not eat such horrible food!
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
XO: Everything's go, commander.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  We're good to go.  ::hopes he has the launch sequence keyed in correctly::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Orders his favorite drink and dessert and places it just out of reach::  Shá: That is your choice.  If you chose that, then I will enjoy this.  :: Motions to the drink and dessert::
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::finally gets out of the turbo lift and practically bolts on to the bridge:: CO: I'm sorry, Captain. There was a line to use the turbo lifts with everyone coming aboard.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters to see the child and So'tsoh:: CSO: Yours? ::raises an eyebrow::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::notes with relief that a pilot has arrived::
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CSO: See... you are a horrible woman!
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Tempted to wrinkle her nose::  CNS: At the moment, yes.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CTO: Excellent. ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::takes a seat at Science Station 2::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
AFCO: That's ok...  Understandable.  Assume your station please.
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::steps down into the pit and takes his station, smiling over at the operations officer:: OPS: You can release the controls now.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::at a loss for words:: CSO: How did you come by him?
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
XO: I've also assigned additional bodies to secure the VIP deck during the voyage. I'm guessing the majority of the activity's gonna be there.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
AFCO:  Excellent.  ::relinquishes helm control::
Host Cory says:
ACTION: As the controls are released, the AFCO finds that the sequence was incorrect by one variable.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
CNS: That is rather a long story and currently classified.  Suffice it to say, I am currently listed as his mother and he is Shá.
Host Cory says:
<Shá> CNS: You smell... ::He moves away from her::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: This is counselor Rodos.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::nods:: CTO: Good work Donavin.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Like a milkshake sir?
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Sha: Nice to meet you. ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: You didn't get the memo did you...  
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::corrects for the variance in yaw control and eases away with lateral thrusters:: XO: We're clearing the station, Captain. Entering safety range for impulse engines in thirty seconds.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
AFCO: Thank you Ensign...  Advance to 1/4 impulse now.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::blissfully unaware of his error::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::sets the sensors to their usual, passive, long range scan routines::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Memo?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Food on the bridge?
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: No, sure didn't.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Yah... No more food on the bridge.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
CNS: I am not quite sure of the procedure of care for Shá... in what exactly does one do with him?
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> CNS: You still smell... ::he stays away::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks curiously at the CSO::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: I understand sir.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: Perhaps a bath later for you, will help with the smell.
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::nods and turns back around:: CO: Aye sir. One quarter impulse in Three... ::double checks to make sure no structure or auxiliary vessels are in their backwash:: 2... ::opens the impulse vents and impulse impellers:: 1... ::routes power to impulse engines and slides his fingers up the controls to one quarter power:: One quarter impulse, Captain.
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> CSO: I do not require a bath. You are just trying to spite me...
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: You have a choice.  You can be polite to the counselor.  However, if you find smell offending, perhaps a different smell for you would help.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: Well we were assigned a "nanny" of sorts for Victory, perhaps she could look after Sha too.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
AFCO: Very good...  As soon as we are past the null wake perimeter, set course for Arcadia Station and increase to full impulse.

ACTION: THE TURBO LIFT DOORS TO THE BRIDGE OPEN, AND A YOUNG WOMAN, NO OLDER THAN 20 ENTERS THE BRIDGE OF THE SHARIKAHR WITH SEVERAL PADDS ATTACHED TO HER.

EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::turns to look wow::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
CNS: Is she... good with children of... strong willed nature?
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the young woman as she crosses the bridge::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: Permission to leave the bridge and make sure arrangements are being made? ::doesn't see the news person enter as yet::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::raises an eyebrow::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CTO: Granted. Make sure all security precautions are taken.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to see the woman::  FNS: Have you lost your way?
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> CSO: Leave me alone! ::He runs into one of the side rooms::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: I suppose we will find out. You may drop Sha at my quarters on your way to the Bridge.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Granted.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gets up from his station, and turns to see who's being addressed::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Glances into the room to see that it is basically empty but for the basics and turns back to the counselor.::  CNS: I am not sure putting Shá with your infant daughter would be... wise.
Host FNS_Riquel says:
::She turns to the Captain and mumbles to herself:: Self: Captain Elisha Irvin, 38, recently assigned commander of the Sharikahr. ::She turns to him:: CO: I believe I'm in the right place, Captain. Riquel, of the Federation News Service.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::winces::
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
CO: Aye sir. ::watches the colored lines on his display disappear as he passes the various safety markers, increasing to full impulse once he's past the last, clearing the gravitational field to prepare for warp:: OPS: Sir, I'm reading a twenty tera joules drop in the power to the starboard nacelle. Can you compensate before we're due to jump?
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: He's a bit of brat, but I should think they'd be all right.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FNS: Ahhh...  ::pauses::
Host FNS_Riquel says:
CO: May I have permission to stand in the back of the Bridge and observe, sir?
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::strides across the bridge, and into a turbo lift, thinking to himself:: Bloody journalists... ::orders the lift to deck 5::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
CNS: Brat would be an understatement.  However... if you have faith in this Nanny, then we will be there relatively shortly.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FNS: You didn't get the memo did you...
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
AFCO:  I'm balancing it out now.  ::turns his attention back to the console::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::stands::
Host FNS_Riquel says:
CO: What memo would that be?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow at the reporter::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Self: Another memo?
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> ::He pops his head out of the room:: CNS: Stop trying to read my thoughts! ::He stomps out, anger on his face::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
<TO_Ens_Smith> ::moves to take Donavin's station while he's off the bridge::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::thinks that a lot of memos seem to have gone astray and makes a mental note to discuss it at the next departmental meeting::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: She is very skilled in early childhood development and Betazoid to boot so she can help Victory with her talents.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::gets up and motions to the FNS to follow him::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Sha: I wasn't. I would have asked first.
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::smiles:: OPS: Thanks. ::begins rerouting power from the warp core to the nacelles, flooding them with superheated plasma:: CO: Captain, we've approached minimum safe warp distance. Warp 9 on your order. ::looks over his shoulder::
Host FNS_Riquel says:
::She continues to tap on her PADD as she follows him::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: The counselor is not reading your thoughts.  Please, take a seat.
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> CNS: Intentionally no... but you are! ::He shouts and then runs back into the room::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps out of the lift, and decides to make the honor guard armory his first stop::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::whispers:: FNS: Are you assigned as a member of the press corps to either Minster Varan or Minister Idrian?
CSO_So`tsoh says:
CNS: When we are settled, I will fill you in on some basics.  Shá will need extensive counseling... :: adds dryly:: As may I at the end of this.
Host FNS_Riquel says:
CO: I've been assigned by Starfleet Command to report on the Sharikahr's Senior Staff, as a promotional type thing. ::She smiles briefly:: CO: As a way to.. clear your image.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::cringes overhearing the FNS::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the room behind him:: Sha: Sha please, I am showing a great deal of trust in you. I am allowing you into my home with my new baby daughter.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::looks over at the CMO::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::says nicely, but in a wise ass way:: FNS: Ahhh...  That's nice...   But until you are cleared by Operations, you will need to exit the bridge.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::looks at OPS and shrugs::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: I will be glad to see him. We can work out appointments later.
Host FNS_Riquel says:
CO: I have orders... from an Admiral Thomson. ::She begins to look through her PADDs::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Watching the counselor she nods and taps her comm. badge.::  *CO*: Captain, might I bring my... son to the bridge briefly to meet you?
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CSO: As it is I need to return to the Bridge soon.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::suppresses a grin and stands::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::walks over to the FNS::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::continues to wisper::  FNS: Well, until I get that order from Admiral Thompson with Admiral Patterson's signature RIGHT beside it, you're still off until you're cleared with Operations.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::snickers::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
CNS: Thank you.  With the captain’s consent, we will join you there shortly.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*XO*: You are not going to believe this.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::puts his hand on the FNS's arm::  FNS:  If you'll come with me please.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps com badge::  *CSO* Could you take it up with Commander Rodos?
Host FNS_Riquel says:
::She hands him the PADD:: CO: It is all right there, Captain. All of those signatures. ::She shakes her head:: CO: But if you wish, I will have them contact you personally. :: She glares at him, and walks toward the Turbo Lift::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
*CNS*: What is it?
Host FNS_Riquel says:
OPS: Hey there, what is your name?
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*CO*: The child wishes to meet you... if possible.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::drops his hand as the FNS walks away::  CO:  Sorry about that Captain.  I guessed she figured her orders superseded yours.  ::returns to his station::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::exits the CSO's quarters while speaking:: *XO*: So'tsoh has a child.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::holding the PADD - getting mad::  FNS:  I meant now!
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> ::he walks out of the room:: CSO: I want to see the Commander! Not Captain, Commander!
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
FNS:  You heard the Captain.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*XO*: Commander, I wish to bring to the bridge my son if I might.  A close eye upon him would be wise.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::points to the turbo lift::
Host FNS_Riquel says:
::She shakes her head and exits:: Self: Arrogant... pompous.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::reaches the TL::TL: Bridge
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: You may see the captain, as promised.  But that was as far as was promised.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Self: Got to admire his natural ability to make friends.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::sits and looks over the console::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
AFCO: We free and clear to navigate?
Host FNS_Riquel says:
<Shá> CSO: Commander sounds better. I want the Commander. ::He crosses his arms::
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: Sir, engines are at full power once we clear the station we should test the warp drive.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: Perhaps you will see both and that will fill both requests.  :: Points to the sandwich::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::exits onto the Bridge::XO: Oh my lord.
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sir. Nothing between us and Arcadia but a few hundred light years of easy sailing.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
EO: No time like the present. 
Host Sha says:
CSO: Can I eat later please? I'm really not hungry...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
*CSO*: I'll have to confer with the Captain first.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
AFCO: Warp Speed Ensign.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Mr. Rodos, you have the bridge.  ::walking towards ready room::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
XO: Please allow it or the poor CSO won't get a moment's peace. You will see when you meet him.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: That is acceptable.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::watches as the Captain leaves:: Self: Or not...
Host Sha says:
CSO: Thank you! ::He smiles ever-so-slightly:: CSO: Can we go now? Pretty please?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CNS and the EO::  CNS/EO: Are ya'll free?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
*CSO*: Very well, Lieutenant, as long as he doesn't disturb bridge operations.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: I am, sir
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: yes sir .
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS/EO: Good...::enters ready room::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::drums his fingers on SC2::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*XO*: I can promise to keep a close eye upon him.
Host Sha says:
CSO: Where can I get one of those? ::He points to her Commbadge::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods to Shá and opens the door, waiting for him to proceed her.::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::finishes up in the armory, and goes about insuring the proper personnel are assigned their stations on that deck::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::shifts his weight to one cheek and wonders how long it will take to break in the new chair:
CSO_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*: Later, when we have time, I need to discuss a few things with you.
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::heads for the Ready Room::

ACTION: LIEUTENANT KI RECEIVES A MESSAGE ON HIS CONSOLE FROM THE FNS REPORTER. IT READS: "LUNCH FOR TWO?"

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the RR behind the CO::
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
CO: Aye sir. ::grins, liking no more than lighting up the fire and threading subspace:: Entering warp now... ::increases power to the port and starboard nacelles, watching the warp bubble fade into being on the display in front of him, tuning its frequency one handed while activating the autopilot with the other until the stars stretch::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: You will have a modified one once security clearances are on place.
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::takes a minute to respond, the surprise possibly evident in his voice though he's trying to cover it:: *CSO*: Certainly, lieutenant. I should be free momentarily.
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::raises an eyebrow then responds in the affirmative, as long as she promised to stay off the bridge until his shift is over::
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::touches the button::

ACTION: LIEUTENANT KI RECEIVES THE RESPONSE: "1400 HOURS AND IT'S A DEAL."

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::confirms::
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::enters the ready room::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift arrives, she takes Shá's hand and holds it firmly.::  Computer, bridge.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::yawns::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gives an approving nod, then heads back to the lift, heading back to the bridge::
Host Sha says:
::He follows the CSO with a smile on his face::
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::and takes a seat near the CO::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::sits on the corner of his desk::  CNS/EO: I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::sits down::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::hands the CNS a box and the EO a scroll::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, the doors open and she scans the area before stepping off with the child.::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::notices from his console that they have gone to warp and thinks that was the smoothest he'd ever experienced::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS/EO: I'd like to thank you both for your performance during the...  "thing"
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::blinks:: CO: Is this what I think it is?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: Medal for Meritorious Service.
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: and what is this. ::looks at the scroll::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: You really performed well as 2nd officer.  Your command abilities are developing very well and you mesh well with the crew.
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::checks to make sure Sharikahr's identity transponder is operating properly before moving the operational windows out of the way and bringing up one for engine and field status and another laying out their course::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Seeing the first officer, walks over toward him.::
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CNS: I'm honored sir ::smiles::
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps out onto the bridge again, not long after the CSO, and makes his way back to his station::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::turns to face the EO:: EO: And Mr. Harris, your service to the away team was invaluable.  This is a Captain's Letter of Commendation which will appear in your permanent record.
Host Sha says:
::He follows the CSO:: XO: Who are you, Mister?
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS: Can you beam me to sickbay?
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::notes the newcomers on the bridge::
EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::thank you sir I am honored::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CMO:  Probably.  Legs too tired to walk?
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: Shá, this is commander Rodos, the ship’s first officer.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS: Avoiding the TL.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::smiles at the CSO:: Sha: What's your name?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::shakes both their hands::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
XO: Commander, may I introduce my son Shá to you.
Host Sha says:
CSO: What does he do? Is he the first person the people report to?
CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::looks up, and blinks at the CSO and.. a... child? shrugs again, and goes back to looking at his console::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CMO:  Why?  Is it dangerous?  ::wonders if he missed another memo::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS: They malfunction regularly when I'm in them.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
OPS: Lieutenant.. what's our ETA to Arcadia Station?
CSO_So`tsoh says:
Shá: Ask him... politely.
Host Sha says:
XO: Excuse me, Mister. What do you do here? ::He stares at his nose::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::gives the turbo lift a suspicious look::  XO:  I'll have that for you in a minute Sir.
AFCO_Ens_Whitehorse says:
::overhears the question and catches Ki's attention, gesturing to the course tracker ticking down the time on his screen::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Feels the beginnings of a headache::
OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CMO:  Well, I'm kinda busy.  ::calculates their arrival time::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
Sha: I help the Captain run the ship. I also deal with any problems that the crew may have. ::smiles at him::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: At the soiree that we are giving our guests, I intend to announce to the crew.  But I wanted to interface personally with you guys.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::gets up::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS: I'll wait then.
CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
