USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10402.10
Episode 9

There's No Place Like Home…

The Vesuvius had been trapped in unknown and uncharted space.  With the help of the Nacandarains, the mighty Vesuvius and her crew returned home to Federation space.  They were not alone for escorting the Vesuvius were a total of six (6) Nacandarain ships.  All were in orbit of Earth.

As Captain Kelson promised, he set up and attended a meeting with the Nacandarian representative and the Federation President.  The meeting was short lived due to an emergency meeting called by the Vulcan representative.  However, before leaving, the Federation President gave permission for the Nacandarians to settle in Federation space.

Valleck, the Nancandarian representative sent the climatic specifications for his species to the Federation President who would review and then advise what planets the Nancandarians may settle.  His response came quickly and now the Nacandarians are preparing to travel to planets near Pi Stanilus.

The Captain is currently with Valleck saying his good-byes.

In the meantime, the crew had some much needed time off.  The weather turned ill for crew who were planetside and rain has begun to fall.  The Executive Officer has returned to the bridge and the FCO is finishing her workout program in the holodeck.

Meanwhile, LtCmdr Toir Naug arrives on the Atlantis as she takes obit near the Vesuvius ready to report to the Vesuvius as her new Chief Tactical Officer.  Commander Alexandra Horn has just arrived in San Francisco with her new orders to report to the Vesuvius as her new

Civilian and Ensign Jay Bannister is just leaving the Academy where he has been visiting friends prior to reporting to the Vesuvius himself…

Host CO Kelson says:
@*Powers*: Very good.  I'll be along in a few minutes.  Kelson out.

LtCmdr Selan Tracianolus says:
@:: Doesn't take a deep breath ::   CSO: I have more favorite scents, but this one does rank ...

CTO Naug says:
:: Steps into the turbolift with the CIV ::   Turbolift: Bridge   CIV: I'm just glad we found her, but never expected it to be here on Earth

CIV Horn says:
:: Follows CTO into the turbolift ::

FCO Lorehani says:

CSO Lane says:
@Selan: I'd like that very much.

Host CO Kelson says:
@:: Sighs ::   *Harper*: All good things must come to an end.  Send out the message to all crew.  I am transporting now.  Kelson out.

EO Bishara says:
:: Leads the CEO through engineering ::   CEO: Since I took over in engineering, I have added 5 fusion reactors to augment power allocations to basically our weapons, shields, and engines.  If I have to I can get up to 120% out of the engines, 115% out of the weapons and shields without taxing any other systems.

FCO Lorehani says:
CIV: Always Ma'am…I need it to concentrate so I don't crash the ship...Crashing is a bad thing I'm told.

CTO Naug says:

CSO Lane says:
@*Harper*: Aknowledged.

CEO Tyret says:
EO: Explain those programs.

LtCmdr Selan Tracianolus says:
@CSO: Sounds like you're leaving sooner than later.

EO Bishara says:
CEO: Well sir for one, if we should have to truly lock down engineering, there are only four people besides me that have access to the new code.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Pulls out a pouch containing several of his favorite holodeck programs. ::

CTO Naug says:
:: At TAC he hits a button ::   Computer: authorization, Alfa Kline Delta   :: And wonders if his code has been inputted yet ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Turns to Selan ::   Selan: I'm sorry, but that's the life of a Starfleet officer.

@:: Extends her hand ::   Selan: It's been a pleasure meeting you Commander. I hope we will run into each other again soon.

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: Err Coordinates?  What Coordinates?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Remembers he is still in his dress uniform ::

LtCmdr Selan Tracianolus says:
@:: Shakes her hand ::   CSO: The pleasure was all mine. I have no doubt that we will.

CTO Naug says:
:: The tactical console comes fully active to his voice and he begins checking all defensive systems and making sure all stores are full ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Self: Ah well...I can change later.

Host OPS Harper says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::  FCO: Please set coordinates for the Arimus Sector and prepare to leave orbit

EO Bishara says:
CEO: Another of these programs is an automated program which assists in backing up the computer cores incase of any type of power failure.

Host CO Kelson says:

CMO Bannister says:
:: The door chime to his quarters rings and he wonders who it might be. ::
Door: Come in.

EO Bishara says:
:: Entering the turbolift ::  CEO: Well sir, he is more than a pet.  Where I come from, he is tied into my life in an empathic sense.  Since I am part Vulcan, Romulan, and Betazoid, he is a constant companion.  He is a native bird that was given to me by my parents.

Host CO Kelson says:
CIV: Busy...It's great to have you back, Commander.

CIV Horn says:
CO: Rumor is true. I am back, and glad. I missed this place

Host CO Kelson says:

CTO Naug says:

Host CO Kelson says:
Admiral: We've been to the other side of the galaxy and back.  And we brought back souvenirs!

CO: From reports I've gathered...your old friends, the Knosis are back

EO Bishara says:
CEO: Understood sir.  You will have the upgrades by 0900.  Should I return to engineering or remain on the bridge?
