Host Adm_Pershing says:
@Scott: ::nods:: I understand.  Well, as I understand from the starbase's CEO, it will take about a week for Titan to be anywhere near spaceworthy again.  I therefore will endorse your husband's request even though it was not made through entirely the right channels.

Civ_Rya says:
@ FCO: Nah. Mical, the bartender, and his daughter Tara are good fun. I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
@::after finishing his request he has it transported to his quarters and heads for the holodeck::

FCO_Jadahn says:
@CIV: I'm anxious to meet them then.

OPS-Teasley says:
::put's the cat food down. The cats starting eating it::

Civ_Rya says:
@::grins:: FCO: Here we are.

Host CO_Scott says:
@adm:  Indeed..  and my concern is what will my ship do with me gone?  Comander Gable  is a very capeable officer as is Lt Teasley.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:

Host CO_Scott says:
@ADm: I'm sure comander Gable will take care of her whiel I am gone.

Host Adm_Pershing says:
@Gable: ::hands Gable a PADD:: Here are your orders for when Titan is spaceworthy again.  The specifications of the refit and the new sensor module are also there.  I suggest you familiarize yourself with all of that information.  You will also want to appoint an acting XO.
