The Game
"Homecomings"

Previously on DS102: 

The crew are racing home to the station at warp 8 from Earth, carrying several Romulan officers that are now de facto refugees to the Federation and one Admiral Taylor. What awaits them is unknown. All they know is that a rogue Romulan element wants control of the station. 'Fortunately, they are within minutes of arriving...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::paces nervously around the Scorpius Bridge, like a caged lion::
CNS_Rand says:
::on the Bridge watching the attitudes and actions of the others there::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: in his Ready Room ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Captain, I would like to suggest a permanent tactical scan over the sensitive areas of the Station, just to prevent them to take us by surprise. Then, carefully, initiate a counterintelligence operation to identify the saboteurs.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::approaches the Captain's Ready Room and rings the chime::
CNS_Rand says:
::wonders what is happening with her family on the station::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walking out of the Ready Room, to the Bridge:: SC: Once we arrive you can order the scan, the Scorpius will resume patrol around the station, I'm still convinced someone followed us
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: You wanted to speak to me Commander?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I agree. ::nods::
Host ADM_Taylor says:
::pacing back and forth in his quarters and stalking back and forth like a caged animal::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::steps aside so the CO doesn't run into him::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: There is nothing new to report about our ghost, at least nothing on short or long range sensors, and we can't see beyond those, Sir.
CNS_Rand says:
::senses increased anxiety as they approach the station::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sits down and begin typing on his PADD, writing some rough ideas for the operative::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
AFCO: ETA to DS102?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> SC: Three minutes at present speed, Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
AFCO: Acknowledged.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Would you tell the Admiral we are approaching DS102?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: Prepare us for docking as soon as we arrive.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I will. *Admiral*: Admiral, sir,
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: I assume we've heard the clearance protocols from Station Ops?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: Admiral, sir, we are approaching DS102. Three minutes to arrive there.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  Yes, Captain? ::hopeful they are nearing their destination::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: Any further instruction, Admiral?
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  Excellent. Inform me when we dock.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  Nothing but stay sharp, Captain.
CNS_Rand says:
::smiles as she feels a familiar sensation in her mind and watches their approach::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: Very well, sir. Marek out.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: Standard docking protocols
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO>: We are receiving protocols now, Commander. ::taps on the console:: Clearing marks .Initiating final approaching.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> XO: Aye, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::stands over the Conn, cringing and remembering years ago, sitting in a similar seat and having the XO looking over his shoulder::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> ::monitors incoming data from the Station docking computers, reduces speed and prepares the docking::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: It's okay, Ensign, I'm just here reminiscing about when I was in your seat
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> XO: Final approach in ten seconds.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Prepare for docking....  make sure those umbilicals connect on the fist shot
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> XO: Sir, if you allow me, I dream of the day when I will be doing what you are doing now, sir, with at least three pips on my collar, Sir ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
<OPS> XO: Aye Sir, everything is ready Sir
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: thinks that the paint job better not get scratched or there'll be hell to pay::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> XO: All systems are green. Engaging docking clamps in 5 seconds. ::taps on the console::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> ::sends confirmations to the DS102 docking computers::
Host ADM_Taylor says:
::pulls down on the corners of his tunic to straighten it and moves toward where he knows the gangway will be::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::feels as the ship bumps ever so gently back into its home mooring clamps::
CNS_Rand says:
::nods, taking in the efficiency of the crew and stands as she hears the faint sound of docking clamps locking into place::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Captain, we have arrived...... in spit fashion Sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> *DS102 Flight control*: Docking maneuvers complete. Passing docking control to your Station in 2 seconds... ::taps::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> XO: Docking maneuver complete, sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> ::manually supervise all engines systems to be fully offline::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: That was some by the book docking maneuver!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> ::self:: Every dock that finished without the ship or the Station going kabooom.... It is a good docking... ::smiles at his own joke::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Bridge Crew: Secure stations people, let’s switch things over by the book
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Skipper, spit spat order Sir
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
AFCO: Be ready to undock when our guest have disembarked
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> CO: Aye, sir.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The docking portal gangway is secured and opened by station staff
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Sir, we're not staying?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> ::performs the normal restart routines for the ship's engines:: ::self:: This is certainly a fine ship...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I don't know about you but I'll keep the Scorpius on alert patrolling around
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Permission to leave ship, sir.
CNS_Rand says:
CO: Captain, if there is no objection, I would like to return to the Station.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Sir, thought you might want to take a bit of time restocking some things though
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: You'll help Captain Marek on the station, unless he orders otherwise
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I will see that Tactical coordinates with you the patrolling route for the Scorpius.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: That is a good idea; make a list of the most urgently needed items
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Also, I would like to request the XO and the CNS to assist the Admiral and me with the operations aboard the DS102.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Sir, I've already got my list  put together ::shows the PADD:: and I think we'll be ready to move the ship out within a couple hours, barring any unforeseen events with Station personnel
Host ADM_Taylor says:
::walks onto the station quickly and looks around for the Romulan people that were on the Scorpius::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Sir. ::nods and heads to the TL::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Alright, see to it we get the goods
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Very good Sir
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO: Until we are ready to leave I'll accompany you on the station
CNS_Rand says:
::follows Marek into the turbolift::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::heads on to the turbolift to head down to the docking port to meet the Station handlers when they show up with the supplies::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: I am on my way to my office aboard the Station. I think we should meet there, Sir, unless you have another idea, Admiral.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: I noticed you have been very quiet, yet pensive, Counselor.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  Certainly Captain. I'll wait for you at the bottom of the gangplank then.
CNS_Rand says:
SC: Merely taking the opportunity to observe the crew in quite a tense situation, Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: I will be there in a minute, Sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: follows commander Mitchell on the turbolift ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: And your diagnosis?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Computer: Hold a minute till the Captain boards
CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: SC: Everyone seems to be holding up well considering the uncertainty. Tension levels are high, but that is to be expected.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Well it will take a lot to make this crew even more nuts than we already are... ::smiles back::
CNS_Rand says:
::chuckles::  SC: You have a good point there.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Thanks commander
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Holding the door for a higher ranking officer is a good way to get promoted!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sees the CO entering the TL::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Thanks Skipper, but I'm fine with what pips I've got for now
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Or a good way to get one finger smashed by the doors, Commander ::smiles:
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Computer: Docking port
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: You keep calling me skipper, what does that mean?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (DOORS.wav)
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Ah, it's an old Terran term referring to the Captain of the ship... the man in charge.... it's usually meant respectfully
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: There's probably some deeper significance in its origins, but now, it's just more of a traditional term.....
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: It never came to my mind that you could be disrespectful, but I was quite curious about that reference
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Earth culture is definitively fascinating...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Is there anything similar in your culture?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: The books don't quite cover "everything you wanted to know but forgot to ask."
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: We might have a few words that could be said to call someone in authority, or in power
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: a few of them are not meant to be respectful
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: I'll try not to use any of those then, Sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::wonders why the TL is taking so long to arrive to Docking Port::
Host ADM_Taylor says:
::waits somewhat patiently for Captain Marek::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::feels the TL stopping::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: What of our guests Sir, Are they being moved to the Station as well?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Yes, Commander. I think they must remind under restrict custody until we can make heads and tails of this whole matter.
CNS_Rand says:
::steps off the lift and heads out onto the station::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::exits the TL and heads to meet the Admiral::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Very good Sir. :: heads over to check on incoming supplies that were requested ::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO: We can use the transporters if you don't want them to be seen
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Err... that is a good idea, sir. Directly to "secured quarters"...  a euphemism for the Brig... :smiles::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::taps the orders on his PADD and sends it to Station security in a secure transmission data frequency::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: In their cases they are no prisoners, so strongly restricted quarters should be used
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I know, sir, it is the old CTO in my speaking, not the SC... ::nods::
