Host SM_Pam  (Actd.mid)

Host SM_Pam says:
The Aries has been recalled to Starbase 16 after a series of problem with the artificial intelligence unit almost caused the destruction of the Nova class vessel.

Host SM_Pam says:
The crew has had enough of the bothersome computer and is anxious to return home to the Starbase where they will enjoy some free time before heading back to the Triton.

Host SM_Pam says:
The Triton is almost ready for a trial run but a few finishing touches have to be completed to the long list of repairs.

Host SM_Pam says:
The crew will have some time to relax and get acquainted with the newer members of the Triton family.

Host SM_Pam says:
As some old storyteller once wrote, "There's no place like home." No truer statement has ever been made. We all know that home is where the heart is. So it is that our gallant crew is about to return to where their heart lies.....

Host SM_Pam says:
As our story continues, the Aries is about ten minutes from Starbase 16 after a rather smooth journey home.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present The USS Triton in...... "Aries Is The First Sign".......  Stardate 10307.03.... Chapter five..."The Way Home"

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::on the bridge marveling at how smoothly things are going now::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Is in the Chief Medical Officer's Office finishing cleaning it up as it was before she came to use it:: Self: I am so glad we are almost off of this ship.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::is in their quarters trying to pack and clean up before they reach SB 16::

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Sits on the box that contained the things she brought to the Aries and finishes off a cup of coffee::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Calls out of her office:: Nurse Strickland: Make sure everything is in its proper place before we reach the Starbase. I know there is only a few things left to complete.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::walks into the small and rather empty sickbay, and quite exuberantly lays down on one of the tables, and folds his hands on top of him::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Self:  It is going to feel good to be back on the Triton again.  I only hope that they followed my orders regarding certain upgrades I did.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::looks around her quarters in a redundant effort to make sure she hasn't forgotten anything.  Her, duffle containing just a few spare changes of clothes has already been packed with all other belongings in storage at the Starbase::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<Nurse Strickland>::shouts back:: CMO: I have already put everything back in its proper place ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::doesn't really say anything right now, enjoying the quiet while it lasts::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<Nurse Strickland>::looks over at the man who walked in:: XO: May I help you... ::looks at his pips and continues:: XO: Commander?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::exits his temporary quarters after adjusting his bunched up trousers, he proceeds to the turbo lift::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::wonders if Shane is asleep after polishing off that big bowl of beef he had replicated him::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::Squiggy comes creeping around the corner::  Squiggy: Look out!!!!!!!

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She finishes taking a few things down. She then walks over to her laptop and logs herself out of it using her voice codes.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::enters turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Lt how are things down there?  Still running smoothly?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
Nurse: I believe your chief can nurse.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Stands, stretches, and yawns before discarding her cup and leaving the quarters::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Shane begins to whimper in pain.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::hears his dog and moves to his RR to see what's wrong::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<Nurse Strickland>::looks stubbornly at the XO:: XO: Fine. ::taps the COM:: *CMO*: You have a visitor.. a Commander.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::Finally admits that nothing has been left behind shuts the computer off, shoulders her duffle bag and exits her quarters, shouldn't be much longer till they arrived at the Starbase::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::exits the turbo lift and enters the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::opens the door and tries to find his dog::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::realizes he was probably a little short with her, and makes a note to try to make up for it in the future::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::he crashes into the dream catcher for the 300th time and is hanging upside down once again::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Hears her Combadge chirp. She then exits her office and walks over to the Nurse and then looks on the bed at Commander Everitt:: Strickland: Thank you Jasmine. ::looks over at Everitt:: XO: May I help you Commander?

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Shane runs past the Captain and onto the bridge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CMO: I'm not feeling well Doctor.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::whistles:: Shane, come here boy  ::stops short as a black streak goes flying by him:: Shane! Come back here!

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::laughing till her sides hurt, she begins to unravel him::  Squiggy: Squiggy you silly bird!!  ::still laughing.::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Takes a Medical Tricorder off of her belt and begins to scan the XO:: XO: What symptoms have you been having Commander?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self: This can't be happening::

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Walks into a turbo lift and leans against the rounded side:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks at the captain and his dog::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CMO: Well, I have trouble sleeping, I find myself day dreaming, and whenever I'm near the Chief Medical Officer, I nearly break out in a sweat.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::slips into turbo lift just as the doors close:: CSO: Going to the bridge as well?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Hello Cmdr.  How are you?  ::as he tries to quiet Shane down::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Eyes widen as she takes a look at Commander Everitt:: XO: And what do you expect me to do about that?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<Nurse Strickland>::listens to the XO and CMO thinking "Ouuu a crush"::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: I... really don't know. I feel very distant and confused today.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CMO: Well you are a Doctor, aren't you?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: How are you sir? ::looks at Shane again::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Maybe that time in the computer core rattled you more than you thought, Mr. Wolfe.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::finally finishing from removing him and picks up the last few things and puts them in the cases::  Self:  Well that is done.  I better get to engineering and prepare for the docking procedures.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
XO: I would assume so. ::Looks at him::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: I'm fine, although Shane doesn't seem to be.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CIV: Yup.  ::Takes a quick look at the Major's collar:: I'm sorry, I don't think we've met.  Lt. Evelyn Pierce, Chief of Science.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CMO: What would you suggest as a solution, keeping your professional expertise in mind?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Lt when you have a free moment would you come to the bridge please?

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
CSO: Major Athena Sciortino...::pauses for a moment and not sure exactly what her job title is at the moment adds rather obviously:: Marine.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
XO: Well the two would have to talk it over. ::Hears her Combadge chirp and taps it:: *CO*: Understood, sir. Is it an emergency?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::tries to calm Shane down, really getting worried::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks at Shane and the captain:: CO: I think the computer may have rattled your friend too.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::smiles, then quirks his mouth slightly at the command over her COM:: CMO: That sounds like good advice Doctor.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Cmdr do you know anything about puppies?

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CIV: Nice to met you Major.  If you don't mind me asking ma'am... what brings you to our crew?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
XO: So when those two reach the Starbase they should talk.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: It appears so, or maybe it's a bellyache from his meal.  I may have gone overboard

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As the turbo lift doors open Shane scampers inside just as the doors close again.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at the CTO and shakes his head:: CTO: Umm, Cmdr, now might be a good time to practice intruder drills and isolating them..Let's use this to our advantage

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::frowns slightly:: CMO: Ah, I see.. looks like you should get going. ::swings his legs down off the table and stands himself up::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::putting Squiggy on her shoulder she exits their quarters and heads for the TL::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
XO: Well I must be going. It must be urgent if the Captain is not responding. ::Takes a medical kit and leave Sickbay. She walks into a TL and orders it to the Bridge::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::he honestly doesn't know what he knows right now... :: CO: I have a pet wolf. However, it's a bit different. When it was a puppy, it had a lot of discipline issues. Maybe, your puppy needs attention. Or discipline.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Engineering

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
CSO: Good question.  Utility player most likely, I have many skills.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Steps out onto the bridge just as a dog runs in::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: It's probably a little bit of both.  I didn't have any time with him before we left on this "trip"

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::The Turbo Lift reaches the Bridge and she steps out. She walks over to the Captain and smiles:: CO: So what seems to be the problem gentleman?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods:: Computer: Erect a force field around canine life form currently in turbo lift.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::shaking his head and grinning:: CMO: Well Ashley, it seems I have a sick dog.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CIV: I'm sure Captain Knight will keep you busy.  ::Smiles::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::senses Shane's pain::  *CO*: Captain Shane is in pain.  What has happened to him??

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: A sick dog? How wonderful. ::She looks around for Shane:: CO: Is he friendly?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*: I believe that Cmdr Wolfe just erected a force field around him.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::on the bridge now, seeing the dog running in taps a button to hold the lift so the dog don't go no where::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::is happy the conversation went as well as it did.. he couldn't argue with wanting to talk::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::makes his way to the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Umm Lt, he's not here..he just got past us into the TL.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: Puppies are a bit like human children. They need attention. Which, I understand is very difficult for captains.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
CSO: Most likely, though you speak as if you know.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::exits the TL and heads for engineering::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: It is going to be very difficult but my children had him bred especially for me.  I'll make the time somehow.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: You're not hurting him with that field are you Cmdr?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Oh I see. ::looks at Khaar:: CTO: Can you check what deck the dog is on and transport him to the Captain's Ready Room?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::Squiggy takes off for her office ahead of her:: Squiggy: Squiggy wait for me knuckle head!! ::laughing as she enters Engineering::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::stands waiting for the turbo lift, wondering what’s taking so long::

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CIV: I came on board as an advisor for the Tactical department.  Now I have my own department.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::knows that he really shouldn't be splitting his attention like this, but after all that's happened it's a nice diversion::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::noticing that Ens. Telarus is not here she assumes that he is back in sick bay again and makes the note in the DR::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Have you been able to get him back to the RR Cmdr?

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
CSO: And now your the Chief Science Officer?  That's quite the career change.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::blinks for a moment:: CO: I don't think so sir. I'll transport it though...

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Wolfe

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The turbo lift with the dog inside heads down and stops on the shuttle deck.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
Computer: Transport canine life form to Captain's ready room.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: If I may use your Ready Room so I can examine your dog?

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CIV: I had a fair amount of experience with science though I admit... I never thought I'd leave the Tactical department.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Of course you can ::smiling::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::finally gets a lift, and appears on the bridge, and finds everyone looking at him:: All: Did I miss something?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Thank you.. I think. ::smiles and steps into the Ready Room waiting for the dog to materialize::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: ::sighing:: You didn't happen to see my dog down there did you Cmdr?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::thinks for a moment:: Self: I need a drink. ::moves to the replicator:: Computer: Samsorta Three Eleven. With ice and a lemon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO: No.. I didn't.. but something seemed to be holding up the lift.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::really not having anything to do at the moment so continues her line of questioning to satisfy her curiosity:: CSO: What tactical experiences have you had, and why the change?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::realizes he has nothing better to do:: CO: Would you like me to look for your dog, sir?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::runs an internal scan to see if she can locate the missing puppy:

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::walks back towards the captain:: CO: I'm honestly looking forward to that shore leave.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Taps her Combadge:: *CTO*: Khaar is the dog coming?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I'd appreciate that very much Cmdr.  One of us ought to watch the store.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: I know Cmdr, we all are.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO: The store, sir?

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::Glad that Diablo and Daeva are apparently much better trained than the Captain's pup::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::taps his Combadge:: *CMO*:Maybe the computer is having trouble locking on to him. It should be there by now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::grinning widely:: XO: Another Earth expression, meaning keeping our mind on our jobs

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
Computer: Transport all canine life forms to the Captain's ready room.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: Captain I have located Shane.  He is in the Shuttlebay. 

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She walks to the replicator and orders a nice hot chocolate and sets it on the table.:: *CTO*: It is not here... could you check the ship's sensors and see where he is?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::thinks a moment:: CO: Interesting sir, I'll try to remember that one.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CIV: I was a Tactical Officer on the USS Claymore before this assignment.  After the Triton's previous CSO was lost, I took over.  Hopefully I won't mess things up too badly.  ::Grins and logs into her console::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Having trouble locating the dog's signature?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*:  Thank you Lt.  I'll send Cmdr Everitt down there.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Shane is transported to the ready room.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Would you check the shuttle bay please Lahn?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: A pleasure to serve.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
*CMO*: Sure. Just a moment. ::moves towards the tactical station:: XO: Yes sir. I'm trying to transport it... but the computer is giving me trouble.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Hang on a minute.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks over internal sensors to determine the location of the dog::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
Computer: Keep the Ready Room doors closed unless open by security clearance, authorization Yates Gamma 2 Alpha.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Lt. is Shane there now?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Taps her Combadge:: *CO*: He is here, sir. I even locked the doors so he cannot escape.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Ah, I see.. on the other hand, if its life signs were ::can't think of a nicer way of wording it:: ..in distress, we might have a hard time detecting him.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO: It is a him, isn't it sir?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Yes it is.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She walks over to Shane and looks him over. She kneels down to be on his level then she starts to pet him as she scans::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Shane starts to whimper again and then growl at the doctor.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::blinks:: XO: The dog is in the ready room now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Ah, thank you Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Take over Cmdr, I'm going to go see what's wrong.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::looks towards the Captain, deciding he should go in first::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I'll go.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::moves her hand back:: Shane: It's ok I will make you all better. ::She reads her Tricorder::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: Sir, If I can be of help with the dog let me know sir.  I have knowledge about animals.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::steps over to one of the auxiliary consoles and logs in, checking a few things chief among them there ETA::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::nods in response to the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Thank you Lt.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Incoming hail to the Aries from SB 16.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She smiles and taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Sir could you meet me in your Ready Room?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Already on my way.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Answer the hail, Commander.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*CO*: Thank you. ::she sits on top of the Captain's desk waiting for him to enter::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::opens his RR door and steps inside truly worried about his friend::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::moves to the ops station and opens the COM channel:: COM: SB 16: This is Triton... ::stops:: ... the Aries. 

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Looks at the Captain very sternly:: CO: Captain, when is the last time you fed Shane?

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::has to hold back from answering the hail herself, would just be faster, but the fleeters probably wouldn’t like that.::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::walks out into engineering::  ALL:  Oh peoples, lets get ready to dock this ship.  Remember she is still a SF Starship and she still needs our tender loving care to get her inside SB and docked so hop to it!  ::watches her staff as they take their stations::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: What's wrong with him Ashley.  Just a little bit ago, why?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: How much food have you been giving him?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::waits to see if anything appears onscreen::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::waiting for a response, trying to access a visual contact::

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks over a few of the sensor logs, happy that the computer doesn't talk back anymore::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Not that much.  I may have given him too much this morning, why?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::wonders if anything on this ship works right::

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Aries: Aries, this Starbase 16 operations. We have you on short range scans now. You are cleared for docking at docking port 2. Please have your Captain report to Admiral Sheridan as soon as the Aries is secured. Operations out.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: Sir Engineering is preparing for docking procedures.  Please advise when we are ready for hard dock.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: He seems to have a stomachache. ::hops off of the desk::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Well that was rather plain, wasn't it Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Very well Lt.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
XO: Cold. Cold as a winter night that message was.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CIV: Major, do you have any experience piloting a starship?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
COM: SB16: OPS: Acknowledged.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: How eloquent Commander. ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: I didn't give him that much Ashley.  At least I didn't think I did.  Can you give him something for it?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::moves to the navigations station and reduces impulse speed::

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::looks up:: XO: I've been certified for most small craft and practiced on the bigger babies, quite well but I have no official certification for capital ships.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: I can but make sure you do not feed him so much. I will make up a chart of what he should eat, how much food and treats. ::She takes a hypospray from her Med Kit::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Cmdr what's going on out there?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::with a straight face:: CIV: Well, there has to be a first time for everything.  This little girl shouldn't be much trouble, should it Major?  Take the helm.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CO: Thank you Lt.  I'll get the hang of it again.  Been a very long time since I had a puppy to care for.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
*CO* We're approaching Starbase 16, you've been instructed to meet with Admiral Sheridan upon arrival.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She takes the hypospray and injects Shane with it:: CO: This should do the trick.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Understood Cmdr.  I'll leave immediately once we get there.  I'll be right back out.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL: Every one ready??? Good lets do this.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::thinks:: XO: It's been a while since I've navigated a ship. Sometimes I miss it. I remember in Academy, I was in an extreme competition with a M`Baran. Boy was he an upsetting guy.

Host SB_OPS says:
ACTION: Shane begins to wag his tail happily.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Thanks Ashley

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: I would advise getting Shane a friend so he is not bored while you are at work as well.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL: All stations begin preparations for hard docking and external support mode.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
:;checking the boards::  Self:  This had better go smoothly.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::leans down and gently ruffles Shane's ears::   CMO: I'll see about that.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Moves to go back out onto the bridge and whatever happens next::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Good. ::Smiles as she heads near the Ready Room doors:: CO: And Captain... do not feed him until tomorrow.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. Spanner:  Please make sure that one power generator is online and at full capacity.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
CTO:  I think I can handle it from here.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::turns and gives her a salute:: CMO: Yes Ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner>: CEO: Aye ma'am

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Smiles and exits the Ready Room onto the Bridge::

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Begins finishing up as the Aries prepares to dock, still thinking of the best way to hunt down Lt. Rogers::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Walks back out and takes his seat in the command pit:: Self; Might as well enjoy this for a minute::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods and stands:: CIV: Right. ::stands::

Host SB_OPS says:
ACTION: The Aries approach to the base seems smooth and uncomplicated.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. Woodson: Prepare the core for cold shutdown.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She walks over to where Lieutenant Pierce is:: CSO: So glad to be back?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Woodson> CEO: Yes ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Let's let them know we're almost home Cmdr

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CMO: Definitely.  I'll feel better once we get back to the Triton.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CSO: As will I. I cannot wait, I am sick of talking Computers and small spaces.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CMO*: Ashley is Ens. Telarus fit for duty??

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::takes the stations and sets the controls to her preferred configuration:: XO: Approach is nominal...signaling Starbase to open space dock doors.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CIV: You're doing a fine job Major.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Hears her Combadge chirp and taps it:: *CEO*: He should be T'Ponga. He was just resting for awhile before he could report for duty.

Host SB_OPS says:
ACTION: The space doors pull back slowly.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::smiles at Sciortino:: CIV: Hi. I'm Khaar. I'm the chief tactician. Nice to meet you.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CMO*: Great Ashley. I need him in engineering.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at the Captain, thinking he's far too easy on them::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::walks out the door at the command from Lieutenant Shemara::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks at his XO and smiles.  There's a time and place to crack the whip but this isn't it::

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::continues to monitor the readings, seeing that the doors seem slower than usual cuts speed even more:: CTO: ::offhandedly:: Major Sciortino.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Nods and smiles:: CMO: And I swear the Triton's replicator make a better cup of coffee.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL:  Prepare all systems for hard dock and transfer to station power.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*CEO*: He should be on his way momentarily. Nurse Strickland gave him the message.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Chuckles:: CSO: I agree with you there. I have everything programmed on the Triton just the way I like it.. here it is just... replicated.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::walks into Engineering:: CEO: Sorry I was a bit under the weather ma’am.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::straightens his uniform in preparation for his meeting with Admiral Sheridan::

Host SB_OPS says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::can't help but smile as Wolfe seemingly distracts Sciortino as she attempts to "park" a starship for the first time::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CMO*: Thanks Ashley.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
EO: Good to see you out of sick bay son.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::in spite of himself he grabs the command chair's arms::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*CEO*: Anything for you T'Ponga. ::Smiles as she taps her Combadge closing the COM::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::takes a seat, finishing his drink:: Bridge: Do any of you by any chance, play good old American football?

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
@COM: SB16: OPS: Starbase, confirm nominal operations of Space Dock doors.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: I remember football. I haven't played it since I was in London years ago.

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Aries: CIV: Aries, this is operations. You are drifting 5 degrees to port, please correct. Confirmation on space doors.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CEO: So you have any work for me still, and I bet you do ma’am. ::grins::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::notes Sciortino's percision.. she's a tight one::

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::corrects as orders @COM: SB16: OPS: Acknowledge Starbase. All: Someone double check that for me ::not in the trusting mood after last mission::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Lahn will you take care of transfer of this beast back to SF for me and then I'll meet you for a drink somewhere

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
EO: Yes son we are about to dock.  I need you here to make sure we hard dock correctly.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::grins:: CMO: Never hurts to pick up an old habit. I figure a little football will take away some of the anxiety from last mission. Or maybe... just a good old game of catch.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: Oh you think I wouldn't want to play tackle? I say bring it on. ::smiles::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::grins:: CMO: Tackle it is.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: You know, given our past experiences now's the time we should probably be the most worried ::smiling::

Host SB_OPS says:
ACTION: The Aries slides into the docking port just slightly scraping the bow along the side.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Hears the scraping::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::lets out the breath he didn't realize he'd been holding::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::can't help but to feel and hear that scraping:: Self: They really should make these docking ports bigger.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::feels the shuttering of the ship:: Self: Oh no don't scrape the paint.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CEO: With this ship I don't trust the auto dock.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::keeps one eye on Sciortino's station:: CO: Why is that sir?

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::cuts speed to thrusters only and corrects direction again but doesn't react despite stares,  SB goons were wrong, can't trust a fleeter and no one checked the numbers as asked::

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Hears the scraping and leans into her console slightly:: Computer: What'd I say about having your pretty little exterior damaged?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I've found that when we relax it seems like the worst can happen.  I'm heading on down to the docking ring.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
EO: That is why I need you here.  ::smiles::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. Spanner:  Watch the docking clamps and make sure they are firmly seated.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She looks over at the rest of the crew::

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::Self: Always trust yourself, fleeters were wrong, again,  without the correction things would have been fine::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CIV: You did great Athena. ::Smiles at her::

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::cuts speed completely letting the ships on inertia glide in to a soft dock::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL: Check systems and go to cold shutdown.  Secure all stations.  You all earned your pay this time.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Cmdr I'm on my way to Admiral Sheridan's office.  Would you see that a yeoman gets Shane for me?

Host SB_OPS says:
COM: Aries: CIV: Operations confirming docking. Prepare to switch to base power systems.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::thinks for a moment:: Bridge: Before shore leave begins and everyone goes their separate ways, I say we all make a visit to the Starbase lounge and... have a collective drink.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::waits for the TL to reach the docking area::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::still doesn't say anything, and lets Sciortino finish::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: All systems are going to station power.  All stations are being secured as we speak.  Warp core is cold and secured.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
CMO: Someone might want to suggest that the Starbase check there sensors ::or get a new crew, preferably with marine background::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Good work Lt.  I'm going to be tied up on the base for awhile now.  Report to Cmdr Everitt for now.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Chuckles hearing her thought:: CIV: Of course.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CEO: By the way ma’am, I kept a souvenir from our escapade, I have the virus here on a storage medium. Just incase we ever need it.

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
XO: My readout confirms the CEO's readings.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::looks in shock:: EO: You what???? You mean you haven't destroyed it yet.  Dear god don't let it get loose on this ship or the Triton Please.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::waits until the doors between the Aries and the SB open and then steps through them:: *Sheridan*: Admiral I'm on my way to your office Ma'am.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::finally speaks:: CIV: Good work Major.  I believe we haven't formally met.  As you probably already know, I'm Commander Lahn Everitt, Executive Officer.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::extends a hand in the human tradition::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: Understood Captain.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Looks over at Lahn and begins to wonder a few things::

CIV_Major_Sciortino says:
::Stands up and logs out of station:: XO: Major Athena Sciortino ::shakes hand firmly, but carefully as not to injure::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::doesn't wait for a reply as he makes his way to Serena's office:: Self: This is going to be another interesting meeting I think.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Logs out of her science console, humming a tune in her head::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks at Sciortino and Everitt::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL: Well people we are home once again and I will be needing all departmental heads your reports.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CIV: Perhaps we'll have the chance to get better acquainted before the Triton is due to depart.
