USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10404.20
Episode 1

Well earned downtime…

The Vesuvius sustained critical damage to all systems when she was caught in a level 8 shock wave as a tetrahedron destroyed a large chunk of Arimus III in the Arimus Sector where it was believed the Knosis had returned.

Yet, there was no indication that the Knosis had returned. However the trip was not a total bust. The crew made first contact with another species who traveled to the Arimus Sector in search for the aggressors who had destroyed a planet in the region of space…a region millions of light years from Federation territory.

The crew also made the acquaintance of the inhabitants of this sector…a species derived from the same primordial goo and branching into different sects.

The USS Atlantis arrived in time to tractor the Vesuvius to her home port, Oberon Station.  The two ships have docked and, for the first time in over a year, the Vesuvius crew will be able to enjoy a lengthy shoreleave as the Vesuvius undergoes repairs.

The FCO remains in sickbay.  All other patients have been released.  The CSO has been issued a hover chair in order for her to get around in...

@Ens: Thank you   :: Taking the PADD the Ensign turns and walks off ::

CO Kelson says:

CSO Lane says:
@:: Hears the chime but ignores it, content to stare out the window ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: As he begins to get bored of the book he's reading, he starts to think about what holodeck programs he has. He picks up his own PADD and starts to check some programs ::   Self: Oh right, the meditation session with the Vulcan priest...

@:: Frowns ::   Commander: Well, let's leave a message and come back later.
:: Sends voice message to Hope asking her to contact him at her convenience ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Suddenly, someone pokes the Doctor on the shoulder.  He turns to see someone he didn't expect. ::

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  Emma!  I didn't expect to see you here.

CSO Lane says:
@:: Turns and knocks over a vase on the end table ::   Self: Darn!

CO Kelson says:
@:: Continues down the hall and moves toward the commons ::

CTO Naug says:
@:: Just walking around with thoughts in his head not really paying attention to were he is going ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: The turbolift doors swing open as he steps out of the lift. He walks into the nearest turbolift which is not currently in use ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Hears the crash and stops ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Enters the drinking establishment and walks up to the bar ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Docks his ship at Oberon Station and after securing his vessel, heads to the nearest bar ::

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  Hey Jay.  I heard that the Vesuvius was coming back from a mission so I decided to stop in here.

XO Stricker says:
@Computer: Begin program Stricker Alpha Beta-1, download the information from my personal computer and start my program.

CIV Horn says:
@:: Orders a scotch and drinks in down in one gulp ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Walks back to door ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Reaches over to try and pick up the pieces of the now smashed vase and winds up on the floor with a thud ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Rings chime again ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Walks along the promenade looking at all the beautiful women he is passing.  Sees the bar he is headed for and heads toward it ::

XO Stricker says:
@<Computer:> The program was successfully downloaded. You maybe enter when ready

CIV Horn says:
@:: Quickly orders another drink and sips at this one ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Hears the chime again ::   CO: Go away!

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: Hope...this is Sam.  Are you awake?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Stops at the thresh hold of the bar and looks around the room ::

CTO Naug says:
@:: He stops and realizes he has come to a bar, he thinks a minute about it and says ::
Out load: What the hay?   :: And enters ::

CSO Lane says:
@CO: Of course I'm awake!

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  It's nice to see you again.   :: Gives her a hug. ::   Would you like to go somewhere?

XO Stricker says:
@:: He walks into the holodeck and sees the inside a Vulcan temple's entrance room.  A sign reading "please take off you shoes before entering the temple" is near the front of a large wooden door ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Looks at dog ::   Commander: Guess she's awake, eh boy...

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@Self:  Ah, matey!  Now there's a lass a man would never forget!

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  Well I've had a long trip.  Want to go back to your quarters?

CTO Naug says:
@:: Looks over at the new stranger and wonders what a strange man and walks on past him and heads to the bar ::

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: It's me Hope.  If you don't want to see me, at least say hi to Commander.

XO Stricker says:
@:: He removes his shoes and places them on a shoe rack, which is mildly full with other people's shoes. He then rolls up the cuff on his pants and opens the large wooden door which enters the prayer room ::

CSO Lane says:
@CO: I suppose since you're here, you better come in then.

CIV Horn says:
@:: Continues to sip her drink, ignoring everybody around her ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Whispers ::   Commander: Told ya, boy.  You are the point man...

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
:: Moves over to the bar and takes an empty seat smiling at the lovely lady next to him ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Moves to enter the room ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: As soon as Tim gets inside some light smoke from burning candles and incense hit him and then the heat of the room hits him as well. He looks over and sees the Vulcan spiritual master N'von so he begins to approach him ::

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  Sure.  :: Extends his arm to escort his long time friend to his quarters. ::

CTO Naug says:
@:: Sees the Cmdr seating there and takes a sits next to her ::   CIV: Cmdr   :: Nodding his head ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Continues to stare into her drink ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Peeks around the corner leading with the dog ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Sees Commander and smiles ::   Commander: Here boy!   :: Claps her hands ::

XO Stricker says:
@<N'Von:> :: Sees Timothy enters the temple, he comes out of meditation and looks at him ::   XO: My son, I have not seen you in quite a while. What has been going on in your life?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: Hello, my lady.  Do ya remember me, love?    :: Grins at the CIV ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Commander leaves Sam's grasp and runs to Hope ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Looks up and sees the CTO and nods back ::

OPS Powell says:
:: Moves along the corridors of the Vesuvius, heading for the docking port ::

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  How are you doing?   :: Arrives at a turbolift. ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Hears the person next to her ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: He bows at N'von and then sits down in the prayer room, cross-legged ::   N'Von: I have been busy master. I am very sorry that I can't visit you more often.

CTO Naug says:
@:: Looks over the CIV shoulders and gives the stranger and evil look then whispers ::
CIV: You know that man

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: Who do you think you are calling...   :: Turns her head and sees who is talking ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Continues to smile at her, then nods to the bartender ::   Bartender: I'll have what the lady is drinking...and another round for her

CSO Lane says:
@:: Reaches for the dog and ruffles the hair on his head ::   Commander: Well hi there boy, I missed you too.   :: Smiles and hugs him now ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Grins at the CIV ::

XO Stricker says:
@<N'Von:> Never make any apologizes my student. Sit closer and tell me why you've come to me today.

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: Oh...it's you...Hi

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: Should I leave you two alone?   :: Takes a cautious step into the room ::

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  I'm doing alright.  I heard you had quite an interesting mission.

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: I'm glad you remember me, m'lady

OPS Powell says:
<H'lo> *OPS* H'lo to Powell. We have completely shut down the shunts between the engines and the power couplings. They will be repaired during our stay.

CIV Horn says:
@Self: Hi...is that all I can say. I sound like a dork

CIV Horn says:
@CTO: Yes I know him. We go back a ways

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: So, my lovely...what brings you here?

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  You can say that.   :: Smiles softly. ::   I got to see and work with some dragons.

CO Kelson says:
@:: Commander licks Hope's face in response ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Looks past the CIV and nods to the CTO ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Looks up at Sam ::   CO: Well at least he is good company.   :: Pushes Commander's tongue away from her face ::

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: I was thirsty. You?

CTO Naug says:
@:: Shrugs and orders a drink ::   CIV: Strange individual

XO Stricker says:
@:: Suddenly several Vulcan monks begin to come out of meditation sit closer to Tim, this is apart of his program as Tim needs this for his spiritual counseling :: N'Von: Well master, I've been feeling depressed lately. I got promoted to Command but I also feel sad because my father is not alive to share this moment with me.

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  Oh really?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Laughs ::   CIV: My travels, m'lady.  I'm glad to have found you again...
:: Moves closer to her ::

OPS Powell says:
*H'lo*: Good. Make sure you run a level one diagnostic on all systems once they have been repaired. I don't want any trouble once we head back out. I'm on my way to enjoy a little leave. Leave everything else up to the engineers.   :: Grins ::   You need a little time off, too.

CIV Horn says:
@:: Not turning her head ::   CTO: It does take all kinds, doesn't it

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  Yeah.  It was pretty amazing.

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: I should have done this long ago.  No excuses.

OPS Powell says:
<H'lo> :: A smile in his voice ::   *OPS*:Yes, sir. H'lo out.

CTO Naug says:
@:: Turning straight ahead ::   CIV: Shall I leave the two of you alone

OPS Powell says:
:: Exits onto the station ::

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: Anybody chasing you?   :: Smiles as she says it ::

XO Stricker says:
@<N'Von:> XO: Depression is nature's way of telling you that there are answers you can not seek by using materialism. The simple fact that you want your father to return to Earth is impossible. You must understand to live with his death.

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Laughs at the CIV ::    CIV: If you want me to leave, just say the word and I'll be gone.  And no...no one has been chasing me...    :: Grins with a twinkle in his eyes at her ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Sits up as best she can, since she's still on the floor ::   CO: It's not all your fault Sam, it's me too.

CIV Horn says:
@CTO: If you have something to do, don't let me stop you.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Arrives at his station quarters and lets his friend in. ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Looks over to the CTO ::   CTO: Don't leave on our account!  Let me buy you a drink!

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Wanders through the station, remembering the last time he was here ::

XO Stricker says:
@N'Von: Yes Master but I feel sad, because he will not be around to see me get married, or see his grandchildren. Nor will he for all of the professional career highlights that I've been working hard to maintain.

CO Kelson says:
@:: Notices she is on the floor and sees the broken glass ::

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: Since you are here, might as well finish your drink...and buy me another one.

CTO Naug says:
@Captain/CIV: Just don't what to be intrude on your get together

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  They were very immense in size.  It was incredible.

CO Kelson says:
@:: Moves over to pick up the glass ::   Hope: Do you need a hand back up to the couch?

CSO Lane says:
@:: Turns slightly and grabs the edge of the couch to pull herself up ::   CO: I can do it!

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  I see you've been promoted.  :: She turns to face him and she moves close to Jay. ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Starts to pick up the glass and disposes of it ::

XO Stricker says:
@<N'Von:> XO: You must get over his death my son, you have to. His unfortunate situation of fate was meant for a reason. You're father died gloriously in battle, defending his ship. Remember, the escape pods were released, he did save lives my son.

CIV Horn says:
@CTO: You are not intruding. The Captain here is just a good friend.

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: Of course, m'lady...    :: Downs his drink, then nods at the bartender for another round for the three of them ::

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: I'm sorry.  I'm sure you can.  How's the chair working out?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Although Jay did find Emma to be attractive, he certainly didn't feel anything at the moment for her.  Slowly he backed off and headed for the replicator. ::   Maclear:  Would you like something to drink?

OPS Powell says:
@:: Stops at a door, a thought running through his mind ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Takes the drink and kicks it back like the first one drink she had ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Manages to get herself onto the couch with only a little trouble ::   CO: There. The chair? Oh, it's quite acceptable. In fact, I may never go back to walking again.   :: Forces a small smile ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: Tim begins to cry in the temple ::   N'Von: I'm sorry Master but I will always feel like his death shot a void in me. I always looked up to my father for guidance and now that he's gone, I feel a sense of emptiness. I know you don't understand my emotion but I feel sadness when good things happen.

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear>  CMO:  Sure.   :: She smiles and sits down on the sofa. ::   I'll have a black hole.

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Realizes that these are Commander Lane's quarters, hits the chime letting her know his presence ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Smiles as he watches the CIV ::    CIV/CTO: A lady after my own heart!
:: Grins and salutes them with his glass, then does the same as the CIV ::

CTO Naug says:
@:: Picks up his drink and looks at it thoughtfully and then downs it, like they did ::

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: We'll have to race sometime and see...   :: Smiles ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Hears the chime again ::   Out loud: Come in!

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@Bartender:  Keep bringing the drinks man!

CO Kelson says:
@:: Turns to see who is at the door ::

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Enters as the door slides open ::

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: Who said that I was a lady?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Moves even closer to the CIV, placing his arm around her ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Thinks this is turning into the promenade ::

XO Stricker says:
@<N'Von:> XO: You are right, I have repressed my emotions in order to seek logic in the purist form, I don't understand your sadness but I can offer you some advise, death is the end, it's only the begging and perhaps you can not fathom the logic behind such a large concept, but one day you shall and then you will be enlightened.

OPS Powell says:
@ CSO: Good evening, Commander. Thought I'd stop in and...   :: Notices the CO ::   Oh...I didn't realize you had company...

CIV Horn says:
@:: Takes his arm and removes it ::   Kaufram: I never said that I was that un-lady like

XO Stricker says:
@::Tim begins to feel much better::   N'Von: You are right Master. He's been dead a few years. I can't let it take over my life. Do you think I should seek counseling?

CTO Naug says:
@:: Snickers ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Jay inputs the commands into the replicator for two black holes and he brings Emma her glass. ::

CSO Lane says:
@OPS: Mr. Powell, to what do I owe the pleasure?

CO Kelson says:
@:: Nods to the OPS officer ::

OPS Powell says:
@ CSO: I just...well, I just wanted to make sure you were getting on alright...

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Nods ::   CO: Captain.

XO Stricker says:
@<N'Von:> XO: Someone once said, "seek and you shall find." Follow you heart and it will lead you to the places you are suppose to get to, but the journey will not be easy. Now Commander Timothy Stricker, let us meditate...

CSO Lane says:
@:: Grins at Justin ::   OPS: Oh, I'm just fine thanks. I think that talk we had in sickbay helped a lot.

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: So, where have you been the last year?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Laughs again but moves back ::   CIV: My apologies, m'lady

OPS Powell says:
@ CSO: I was...a little...concerned...   :: Looks reluctantly at the CO ::   ma'am.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Timothy, N'Von and the other few monks begin to quite down as they begin to mediate ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Continues to clean the glass and takes Commander ::

CSO Lane says:
@CO: Leave that please Captain.

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: I've been around...taking care of business.  Been doing quite well...
:: Looks sideways at the CIV ::   ...and hoping I'd either see your ship or run into you again

CTO Naug says:
@:: Motions to the barkeep ::   Keeper: Can your replicator make qagh?

CSO Lane says:
@:: Turns back to Justin ::   OPS: Join us please.   :: Motions to the chair across from her ::

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: Maybe I should come back later, Ms. Lane.  Mr. Powell seems to have some unfinished business with you.

XO Stricker says:
@:: N'Von begins to chant a Vulcan meditative chat which seems to relax and make Tim very calm and tranquil ::

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  So what have you been up to?

OPS Powell says:
@ CO: Oh, no, sir. I just wanted to make sure she was alright. If I had known you were here...

CSO Lane says:
@OPS: Do you Justin?   :: Motions to Sam to wait ::

CTO Naug says:
@<Keeper> CTO: Yes we can , you are only the 2nd person to order it

OPS Powell says:
@ CSO: Thank you, but I think I better leave you two alone...

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: If I knew  you pass through here, I would come by sooner.

CO Kelson says:
@Powell: It's no problem, Mr. Powell.  It's really up to the Commander.   :: Motions to Hope ::

CTO Naug says:
@:: The keeper turns and goes to the replicator ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Smiles and finishes his drink motioning to the bartender to bring them all another round ::   CIV: This is only the third time I've been here

OPS Powell says:
@ CO/CSO: I'm sorry for the intrusion...

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  Well I finally got my new posting, on the U.S.S. Sandstorm.  I'm the new Chief Medical Officer there.

XO Stricker says:
@Computer: End and save program...   :: Tim stand up and walks out of the holodeck ::   Self: That's what I needed, good old, wise N'Von...

CSO Lane says:
@OPS/CO: Well you two are something else. You come to see me and then want to leave? Suit yourselves, I'm not going anywhere anyway.

CTO Naug says:
@:: The keeper returns with 3 drinks and the qagh, a moving bowl of what looks like
worms ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: How about you and I take off and go someplace...quiet?

CTO Naug says:
@CIV/Captain: Would you both like to try this?  It is a delicacy

OPS Powell says:
@:: Looks over to the CO, letting a snicker escape and whispers ::   CO: Go get her, sir...I think you've let this linger long enough.

CMO Bannister says:
@Maclear:  Awesome, congratulations.  I didn't know.

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: Have you spied out a quiet corner in one of your 3 trips to the station?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Looks at the CIV ::  CIV: Never could quite get a taste for qagh, Commander...I'll pass for now

CIV Horn says:
@CTO: No thanks.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Tim walks out of the holodeck and into the nearest turbolift ::
Turbolift: Temporary officer's quarters please.

CIV Horn says:
@CTO: Maybe next time

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Moves just a bit closer for the CIV to hear his whisper ::   CIV: I was thinking about an upper level area I know where we can look at the stars...    :: Grins ::

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Nods to the CSO ::   CSO: Commander...

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO:  I didn't expect you to.   :: Moves over to beside the Doctor, she places her drink down. ::    Any advice you can give to a rookie CMO?

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: I don't want to leave.  Just trying to be gracious.

CTO Naug says:
@CIV: I'll hold you to that.   Capt: Suit yourself    :: Takes a hand full and begins to eat it ::

OPS Powell says:
CO: Captain. :: with a grin, exits the CSO's quarters ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Looks at the CTO then back to the CIV ::   CIV: So, my sweet...how about it?

CO Kelson says:
@:: Waits for Powell to leave ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Begins to get up ::   Kaufram: I bet the stars are the last thing that you will be looking at

XO Stricker says:
@:: Gets off the turbolift and walks down a corridor to his quarters ::

CSO Lane says:
@OPS: Justin, please feel free to drop in again, when things settle down.   :: Smiles and
nods ::

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Continues down the corridor, almost running into the XO ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Thinks for a moment. ::   Maclear:  Well...just do your best to save lives and use all the resources you can to do so.

OPS Powell says:
@ XO: Oh! Pardon me, Commander!

CIV Horn says:
@CTO: Hope you enjoy your meal. I guess i will see you back on the ship.

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: Interesting way to converse with superior officers, don't you think?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Laughs again and nods to the bartender ::    Bartender: Place these on my tab!  I'll be back to take care of it...and include my Klingon friend here on my tab!
:: Smiles and claps the CTO on the back ::   CTO: Enjoy, my brother!

CSO Lane says:
@:: Gives Sam a slight glare ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Presents his arm to the CIV ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: Shall we?

CTO Naug says:
@:: Watches the stranger leaving not knowing what to think about him ::

CO Kelson says:
@:: Sees the glare ::   Hope: What?

CSO Lane says:
@CO: Whatever do you mean?

CIV Horn says:
@ :: Takes the offered arm ::   Kaufram: So where exactly is this view?   :: Walks with the Captain ::

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Walks out of the bar with the CIV on his arm and looks up to the upper promenade ::   CIV: It's not really all that private, but the view is outstanding.

CMO Bannister says:
@<Emma Maclear> CMO: That's good advice…I'll definitely follow that.

CSO Lane says:
@:: Straightens on the couch ::   CO: Sam, we need to talk.

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@:: Touches her cheek a moment ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: Walks into his quarters and sits on his bed, he begins to reflect the word of his master N'von ::

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: I imagine. How many other young ladies have you escorted to this "outstanding view"?

CO Kelson says:
@Powell: He seemed a little nonchalant with us.  But you're right.  I'll let that go for now.  We do need to talk.  May I sit down?

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
@CIV: Believe it or not, m'lady...since I met you....there have been no others in my life...   :: Smiles ::

CSO Lane says:
@:: Looks into his eyes ::   CO: Of course.

CO Kelson says:
@:: Sits next to Hope ::

CIV Horn says:
@Kaufram: I am flattered

Host Capt. Kaufram says:
ACTION: The CIV and Capt Kaufman arrive to the upper deck observation area...

CSO Lane says:
@CO: Actually there isn't much to say Sam. I've come to a decision and I need to tell you about it.   :: Bites her lip nervously ::

OPS Powell says:
@:: Whistles as he rides the turbolift to the upper promenade area, exiting ::

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: I think I understand.  I should have expected it.

CIV Horn says:
@:: Clings tightly to Kaufram's arm while admiring the stars ::

CSO Lane says:
@CO: Then you aren't upset?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the red alert klaxons go off on the station...people are running everywhere as ships come from a vortex nearby and fire upon the station...

XO Stricker says:
@:: Lays down on his bed and begins to rest. Isn't really sure why he got tired all of the sudden but he seems to be sleepy ::

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Hears the alarms sound, and then the station jolt ::

CO Kelson says:
@Hope: Depends on what the decision entails.

OPS Powell says:
@ :: Runs for the docking port ::

CIV Horn says:
@:: Hears the alarms ::

CTO Naug says:
@:: Stand up and knocks over his bowl and taps his comm badge ::   Station SEC: Whats going on

CSO Lane says:
@:: Hears the klaxons ::   CO: I think the station commander may need you.
