U.S.S. Gryphon  NCC-1701
Mission Transcript
Stardate 9908.08

Host BlancaAGM says:
Let me introduce you to the USS Gryphon NCC-42101, Excelsior class (refit).
Host BlancaAGM says:
After serving bravely in the recent war against the Dominion, the Gryphon returned -heavily damaged but salvageable- to Starbase 78, where it has spent the last months under extensive refit.
Its former crew has been granted leave, retired, transferred to other posts, and promoted according to Starfleet Command's needs.
Host BlancaAGM says:
As the repairing/refit works near their end, SFC has assigned new Command Staff to the USS Gryphon. Young blood and hopes for a time of rebuilding. New dreams for a time of peace.

Host BlancaAGM says:
<Bosun> ::He stands straight and dignified in his uniform, holding the whistle the same way it has been held for centuries, waiting for the signal to commence the ceremony::
COspencer says:
::looks at the Admiral as the TL stops and they step to.. giving her a pat on the shoulder:: Admiral: Thank  you for everything

CE_Susman says:
:: now...runs ::
COspencer says:
Admiral: I will I promise.. ::looks serious:: Heads to the Cargo bay doors and stops::
CMO_Loren says:
All: Attention
Host ADM_Svat says:
::follows August quietly down the corridor nodding at the enlisted crew they pass .... many give the Captain's a small nod one or two have a tear in their eye::
CE_Susman says:
:: finally, enters the cargo bay ::
SBCO_Red says:
::sees Spencer and Svat:: Both: It's about time. I thought I would have to do this by myself ::flashes a smile at them::
YEOJensen says:
::perks up as he sees action around the Cargo Bay doors ... knows what that means from experience::
Host ADM_Svat says:
Red: Captain ....
CE_Susman says:
:: looks everyone :: ALL: Don't look me that way.. I'm not admiral yet :: grins ::
FCOmorgan says:

FCOmorgan says:
CMO:  I might have more patience if dress uniform didn't itch.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::waits for it all to begin ... wants to get it over with .... not sure how much of this she can handle::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::takes a moment to shake out her long hair ... relaxes her::
CE_Susman says:
:: takes his position and waits, trying to relax.. Suddenly, remembers Counselor Lane ::
COspencer says:
::sees the look on Jane's face and gives her a smile::
CMO_Loren says:
FCO: Perhaps you have a skin problem.  Why don't you stop by sick bay?
SBCO_Red says:
Spencer: This is a fine ship. In much better shape than I got it, I should add ::needling Svat slightly::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::smiles back and feels like Spencer's mother as she pats her on the shoulder::
CMO_Loren says:
FCO: My uniform feels fine.  ::raises eyebrow::
COspencer says:
Red: It is more than a fine ship.. it is one of the best ::proud already::
Host BlancaAGM says:
<Bosun> ::acknowledges the prearranged silent signal by blowing the whistle... to signal the beginning of the ceremony as the Color Guard enters carrying the flags::
FCOmorgan says:
::gives Loren a feigned look of horror:: CMO:  Are you kidding with you in charge...I think I'll try a new cleaner.
CG_UFP says:
::sees the admiral and the Captain's and unfurls his flag and begins the "long walk"::
CTO_Roth says:
::Snaps to attention::
SBCO_Red says:
::nods to Spencer::
FCOmorgan says:
::comes to attention::
COspencer says:
::hears the whistle and her heart does a double tap::
CG_UFP says:
::steps down the aisle slowly the flag of the UFP in his hands::
CMO_Loren says:
::at attention::
Host BlancaAGM says:
<Bosun> ::watches the crew stand to attention satisfied, and expressionless::
CE_Susman says:
:: at attention ::
SBCO_Red says:
::looks towards the CB1::
CG_SFC says:
::waits exactly ten and half steps before following the previous Color Guard member down the aisle .. with the flag of Starfleet::
COspencer says:
::dignified look as she stands at attention::
CG_UFP says:
::comes to the end of the aisle ... pauses and harshly turns port and takes three steps stopping to the left of the stairs up to the erected stage::
CG_SB78 says:
::dips his flag .. the flag of SB 78 ... to enter the cargo bay behind the UFP and SFC flags::
COspencer says:
::thinks that ceremony has its place.. and it is a wonderful one already::
CG_UFP says:
::comes to the end of the aisle and turns hard to starboards taking three steps before coming to a stop::
SBCO_Red says:
::sighs and wishes this was over already::
CMO_Loren says:
::keeps an eye on the admiral, prepared to render medical assistance, if needed::
CE_Susman says:
:: wants to sit, at the moment.. Tries to stand :;
CGGryphon says:
::enters the room ... the flag of the Gryphon in his hands and begins down the aisle 11 steps behind the flag of SB 78 ... realizes the mistake and speeds up slightly::
COspencer says:
::hears Red Sigh and smiles to herself::
CG_SB78 says:
::comes to the end of the aisle and steps hard to port taking 1 step before stopping and taking position beside the stairs::
CGGryphon says:
::halfway down the aisle ... a breeze catches his flag slightly and he forces himself not to smile ... comes to the end of the aisle ... heading starboard and taking his position::
COspencer says:
::notes the proud look Vice Admiral Svat gives her people::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::sighs deeply watching the flag of the Gryphon::
Host BlancaAGM says:
<Bosun> ::Announces with clear voice, as Vice-Admiral Svat enters the cargo bay:: All: Fourth Fleet arriving.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::takes a step forward and enters into the room as she hears her title .... adjusts her uniform and begins her "long walk"::
COspencer says:
::her heart swells up seeing the flags, she makes a whip of one hand on her tunic::
Host BlancaAGM says:
<Bosun> ::The Starbase's Commanding Officer, Captain Red, follows:: All: Starbase 78 arriving.
FCOmorgan says:
::watches ceremony , notes that it is going to be the long version::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::tugs at her uniform tunic ... it itches her breasts ... and gets to the steps of the stage taking the first few::
SBCO_Red says:
::straightens his uniform and enters proudly, striding to his designated spot for the ceremony::
YEOJensen says:
::smiles broadly at the Admiral as she joins him on the stage ... checks himself, and stows the smile::
COspencer says:
::steps forward as she hears herself being called::
Host BlancaAGM says:
<Bosun> All: USS Gryphon arriving! ::he watches detachedly as the young woman walks sedately and composed after the two imposing figures in front of her... and holding her stance::
Civ_Ian says:
::starts to nod off...  Tesla slaps him in the back of the head just as he is about to doze off::  Tesla:  Hey, watch it...  No celery for you tonight
SBCO_Red says:
::stops and turns to look out at the faces of the new crew of the USS Gryphon::
Civ_Ian says:
<Tesla>: ::sniffs and slaps Ian again::
YEOJensen says:
::looks at Spencer coming down the aisle ... she looks so small ... decides then and their he will have to do something about that::
CTO_Roth says:
::Wonders why K'tarn never mention how boring change of Commands are....and for that matter what about his brother::
COspencer says:
::tries to not look so serious.. but it is hard::
CG_UFP says:
::ignores an itch under his nose::
FCOmorgan says:
::happy for Spencer but wishing the ceremony would hurry up.  Also wondering what in the world the civilian standing across from him has on his shoulder::
SBCO_Red says:
::walks up to the podium, and stands before everyone::
CE_Susman says:
:: wonders on the thrunk ::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::watches Red ... never particularly liked the man, but he is okay as far as his race is concerned::
Host Jadis says:
::Enters the cargo bay... late. Looks around trying to spot familiar faces, hoping she is not disrupting::
YEOJensen says:
::glances from Admiral Svat to Captain Spencer ... tries not to wonder why Admiral Svat is not taking him with her::
CE_Susman says:
:: suddenly, sees Charn entering cargo bay ::
COspencer says:
::eyes scan the room seeing so many she does not know.. her eyes rest for a moment on Morgan, Jadis and Loren.. she smiles to herself.. all is  going to be ok::
FCOmorgan says:
::hopes the base commander won't make a long speech::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::sees someone enter the Cargo Bay ... and frowns.  Could have sworn she ordered those doors sealed::
SBCO_Red says:
All: Admirals, Officers, and crew. Today we are witnessing history take place. The USS Gryphon, like many of other starships, had come to this star base in need of repair after an honorable battle.......
FCOmorgan says:
::notes Jadis coming in...catches her eye and frowns::
Host Jadis says:
::blushes under Morgan's frown and looks ahead as she hears Red's voice::
CG_SFC says:
::rests the but of his flag in the holder around his waist::
COspencer says:
::tilts her head listening to RED::
YEOJensen says:
::nods silently remembering when the Gryphon limped back to SB 78 .... but she did it under her own power ... that was the important thing::
SBCO_Red says:
All: It has been my privilege to over see the repairs of this fine vessel so that it may serve many more battles. ::stops briefly:: Today, those repairs have been all but completed, and a new command has been assigned as well. I have been given the honor to present to you Admiral Svat.
CE_Susman says:
:: listens to the Starbase commander ::
SBCO_Red says:
::Motions to the admiral and applauds::
COspencer says:
::claps for Jane::
FCOmorgan says:
::thinks one down...::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::nods and steps forward blushing under the applause ... knows its her old crew::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::shakes Red's hand and nods taking the podium::
CTO_Roth says:
::wonders why no one boos at these things::
SBCO_Red says:
::steps back as the Admiral steps forward::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::Svat moved to the podium and took a moment or two to scan the assembled crowd allowing her eyes to stop on Spencer and offering her a soft smile. Most of the senior officers she did not recognize, as this was Captain Spencer's crew, but a lot of the Junior Officers in the crowd she had known for years::
Host Jadis says:
::claps her hands and walks over to Morgan and Loren taking advantage of the situation::
COspencer says:
::listens to her speak the crowd silent::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::ending her moment of slight reverie, she turned her attention to the text on the PADD in front of her:: All: The Gryphon is an Excelsior Class border cutter authorized by Starfleet Command and the Starfleet Border Service. You may consider us, in a way, descendants of the United States Coast Guard.
CMO_Loren says:
Jadis: Hello.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::Noticing some grins from her former crew, Svat continued.:: All: The Coast Guard in turn, derived its name from the 1915 merging of the Revenue Cutter Service and the Lifesaving Service. In fact, the first United States naval commission went to Captain Yeaton in 1791, the master of a revenue cutter. ::pacing to port slightly, she kept going::
Host ADM_Svat says:
All: The duties of a border cutter are smuggling patrol, towing, traffic control, buoy and lightship maintenance, import - export regulations, tariff and trade - law enforcement, and aid and rescue. On this ship, we also learn to set your whole being to short - range calibrations.
Host ADM_Svat says:
All: We're not a powerpack, we're not a showboat, and we're never going to be in any history book. But we've got one thing that makes us the equal of any ship in the fleet. Each one of you is wearing it. ::She watched as a few in the crowd looked down at their uniforms and then at their neighbors::
FCOmorgan says:
::sighs softly...gets ready for the long-haul::
Host ADM_Svat says:
All: You see, ship's have specific jobs. This ship is a border cutter. That's all it's meant to be. This ship wants a secure border and a stable Neutral Zone and a quiet frontier. As her crew, that's all we should want. We're just cogs in a much bigger machine. If a cog stops, the machine fumbles. We're not the Knights; we're the Castle Guards.
Host Jadis says:
::whispers:: Loren: Hello.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::concluding Svat let slip a small smile:: All: If you wanted something else ....... get over it. ::stepping aside from the podium she motioned for Spencer to join her up on the stage. Taking the PADD up off her podium, she addressed the crowd::
COspencer says:
::joins Svat::
Host ADM_Svat says:
All: To Vice Admiral Svat, Commanding Officer USS Gryphon. By order of Starfleet Command, you are hereby requested and required to relinquish command of USS Gryphon, registry code NCC 42101, to Captain August Spencer, Commanding Officer USS Crowne, on stardate 9908.08. Signed, Vice Admiral William Crenshaw.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::turning to Spencer she took the other woman's hand and waited for Spencer to make it official and address her directly::
COspencer says:
Admiral: I relieve you sir
Host ADM_Svat says:
::nodding quietly Svat responded:: Spencer: I stand relieved. ::Turning to the crowd one last time Svat said:: I will now turn these proceedings over to Captain August Spencer, Commanding Officer, USS Gryphon.
Host Jadis says:
::claps her hands for her friend::
COspencer says:
::steps up::
COspencer says:
ALL: It is with great honor I stand before you here today accepting Command for the USS Gryphon. Starfleet has entrusted her to me. But it takes more than a Captain to run a ship, it takes each of you, each person aboard this ship is as important as the next, from the newest ranking crewman right up to the senior officers on the bridge.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::makes her way to the back of the stage ... somehow ... feeling smaller::
FCOmorgan says:
::hoping August saves the inspirational stuff for later::
SBCO_Red says:
::applauds::
YEOJensen says:
::smiles softly at his old Captain ... can only imagine what Svat is going through::
COspencer says:
ALL: I see my position as one neither to be taken lightly nor to be taken as the only voice of the USS Gryphon. Starfleet has sent me here along with each one of you, some of the finest starfleet has to offer, to present to us this ship, the USS Gryphon. ::smiles out at them::
CTO_Roth says:
::looks up at his new CO and the subject of many stories that K'tarn told::
Host Jadis says:
::catches Jeff's expression and stifles a giggle::
COspencer says:
ALL: It is my deepest wish that as a team we will do all Starfleet expects of us. With hard work and dedication from each and every one of us we will be able to preserve, protect, and defend the Articles of the Federation. I know together we will be able to accomplish a great deal.
CMO_Loren says:
::looks proudly at his new Captain::
COspencer says:
::looking around the room::  ALL: We have some big words to live up to, as it says on our dedication plague... "Legend, like history can be distorted by time, robbed of truth by cynicism, yet be gifted with splendor by imagination"  ::She steps away from the podium::
Host ADM_Svat says:
::takes Spencer's words to heard, impressed::
FCOmorgan says:
::notes Jadis trying not to smile, has distinct desire to stick his tongue out at her, but retrains himself::
Host Jadis says:
::stands still for a moment, as the words sink in... and then joins in the general applause, probably because the speeches are over::
Civ_Ian says:
::surreptitiously pulls the flask of single-malt from his jacket pocket and is once more slapped by Tesla for his troubles::
COspencer says:
::a little shaken, not used to talking to her own "crew"...she smiles::
FCOmorgan says:
::applauds along with rest of crew...thinking we made it::
YEOJensen says:
::moves to stand near his new Captain::
COspencer says:
::smiles at Jensen:: YEO: Well shall we invite the Admiral and Red for a drink in the lounge.. ::whispers::  I know I could use one
Host Jadis says:
<Bosun> ::calls the room to attention with the whistle::
FCOmorgan says:
::notes the civilian with the strange beast, taking a nip from flask, wishes he had one::
COspencer says:
::stands at attention::
CG_UFP says:
::straightens quarters of an inch as the Bosun's whistle sounds and moves to begin filing out his flag lowered this time::
CTO_Roth says:
::snaps to attention::
YEOJensen says:
Spencer: As you wish, Captain.
Host Jadis says:
::stands loosely at attention... after all, she's a civilian::
SBCO_Red says:
::looks over to the Bosun and the annoying noise he is making::
CG_SFC says:
::follows exactly ten and half paces behind the UFP Color Guard::
FCOmorgan says:
::comes to attention again, stiff from all the standing around::
CE_Susman says:
:: at attention, again ::
COspencer says:
::sees Jadis in the crowd, giving her a smile::   YEO: Yes please
CG_SB78 says:
::dips his flag in respect as he passes the podium and heads out the cargo bay::
Host Jadis says:
::smiles back at August, and digs her elbow in Morgan's side::
CGGryphon says:
::is the only member of the color guard to remain on station since this is his ship .... stays in place::
FCOmorgan says:
::gives Jadis a look whispers:: Jadis: At least I was here on time.
COspencer says:
ALL: Dismissed
Host ADM_Svat says:
::nods silently glad it is over::
CE_Susman says:
:: sighs deeply, feeling better ::
CMO_Loren says:
FCO: Please make an appointment for your required physical.
Host Jadis says:
FCO: I stand corrected, Lt.
FCOmorgan says:
::streches::  CMO:  Already?
SBCO_Red says:
::Watches everyone file out of the Cargo Bay.....Stands and looks at the emptying space::
YEOJensen says:
Spencer: Of course, Captain ... I will arrange it.  Anything in particular to drink?
COspencer says:
Admiral: Would you care to join us in the Lair? ::looks at Red:: you too captain
Civ_Ian says:
::sighs in relief that the ceremony is over and heads off in search of something abit more interesting::
CE_Susman says:
:: taps commbadge :: *Engineering* Report. Status of the Warp Core and EPS
FCOmorgan says:
Jadis:  I rather doubt that somehow.  Shall we congratulate Captain Spencer?
CMO_Loren says:
FCO: I do have a Nosican/Klingon MedTech who can read the requirement to you, if you would prefer.
SBCO_Red says:
Spencer: My pleasure ::smiles briefly::
Host Jadis says:
CMO, FCO: Since this is a new ship, and a new crew... I believe everyone must go through a physical.
Host ADM_Svat says:
::nods at Spencer and frowns at Jensen:: YEO: You know what the Captain wants, now get on it .........
COspencer says:
::looks at the Admiral:: YEO: whatever The Admiral would like Jensen
CMO_Loren says:
Jadis: Indeed.
CE_Susman says:
<EnsJohnson> *Susman* Everything is fine, sir. At least, yet
YEOJensen says:
::salutes:: Adm: Of course Admiral .... Captain .... ::dismisses himself::
CE_Susman says:
*Engineering* Understood. Susman out.
YEOJensen says:
::heads  out of the Cargo Bay and makes his way to the Lounge::
