Summary....
Host Adm_Trelan says:
Three days after the Pharaoh's technical difficulties, the senior staff of the USS Pharaoh has gathered in the main conference room in the main command building on Tenarus Alpha...
Host Adm_Trelan says:
No one has spoken to Captain Trelan since then, and is now wondering why he is not in the room...
Host Adm_Trelan says:
"New Beginnings"
Host Adm_Trelan says:
<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>
CSO_Stidd says:
:: In his chair in the conference room looking around at the gathered staff::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Sits in a chair near the head of the conference table, looking at the monitor built into the surface ::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: sitting in her chair, fidgeting with the PADD she brought ::
CEO_Davis says:
::occupying the chair closest to the door, although the room seems so small to him than any chair could receive that distinction::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: moves down the corridor, moving to the door of the Conference room and taking a deep breath before entering ::
CEO_Davis says:
::runs hand through hair, which is extremely long for him and matches the scruffy beard he now sports::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: steps into the conference room, moving to the head of the table, before turning to look at his senior staff ::
CSO_Stidd says:
CMO: Dr. What seems to be troubling you?
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Looks up from his monitor, scanning the room just as a man in an Admiral's uniform enters ::
CMO_Sacul says:
CSO:  Nothing Commander.  I just hate sitting still like this.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: looks up and her jaw drops ::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Notes that the CO has entered the room, but in an Admiral’s uniform::
CMO_Sacul says:
Self:  Well, I'll be.......
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: Thank you all for coming.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: grins ::
CEO_Davis says:
::pays little attention to the newly arrived officer until he speaks::
CSO_Stidd says:
::Whispers:: CMO: I agree with your sentiments.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: nods at Stidd ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: I regret to inform you that Admiral Soki has departed for Earth on a new assignment.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Starts to stand up, as is customary, stops midway as he sees the face in the uniform, then completes the movement ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Takes his seat again, still looking at the uniform ::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: grins and shakes her head ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: I will now be taking over as Sector Commander.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: Which leaves an empty space aboard an old friend.
CEO_Davis says:
::folds hands and leans back, anxiously awaiting to go below deck again::
CSO_Stidd says:
Aloud: Congratulations Cap... er... Admiral.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CSO: Thank you, Stid. :: smiles slightly ::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: lifts her eyebrow at Stidd's vociferous announcement ::
CMO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  Yes, Congratulations Captain.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
XO: Andrew, you are still newly promoted to the position of Exec, and as much as I'd like to give Command of her to you, I am afraid that the powers that be just won't allow it.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: smiles at Kyti with a nod of his head, resolving to meet with her before the Pharaoh departs ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Nods solemnly :: Adm: I understand, sir.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Wonders who he will turn to for problems in Science matters now that Dru is gone::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
All: This has left a difficult decision in my care....
CMO_Sacul says:
:: listens ::
CEO_Davis says:
::taps the table with the fingers of his left hand in succession, from the smallest finger to his index finger, then repeats::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Waits for the announcement::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: And as such, my first command decision in this sector...
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CMO: Lieutenant Commander Sacul, please stand....
CMO_Sacul says:
:: looks at Stidd and stands slowly ::   Trelan:  Sir?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: lifts a PADD ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Smiles briefly as the Admiral makes the announcement ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CMO: Lieutenant Commander Kyti Sacul, as of this stardate, 10501.13, by order of Starfleet Command, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Commander and Commanding Officer of the USS Pharaoh.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: stands there with her mouth open again, blinking ::
CEO_Davis says:
::returns arms to a folded position::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
Computer: Computer, establish secure link to the USS Pharaoh's computer.
CSO_Stidd says:
Aloud: Congratulations Dr.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
<Computer> :: beeps :: Link established.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: blinks at Stidd, moving her mouth but nothing is coming out ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Looks at Sacul with a small smile on his face ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
Computer: Relinquish all command functions to Commander Kyti Sacul, authorization Trelan 510 Omega.
CSO_Stidd says:
CMO: I believe the correct statement is "Thank you".  I understand that you mean that.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: nods at Stidd ::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: looks at Dru, dumbfounded ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: Congratulations, Kyti. :: moves closer, pinning a full pip on her collar after removing the black filled one ::
CEO_Davis says:
::notes the personnel changes, but still doesn't say anything or really change his demeanor that much::
CMO_Sacul says:
Adm Trelan:  I...I relieve you Sir.  :: barely remember the correct response. ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: I stand relieved. :: grins ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: Now, down to business.
CO_Sacul says:
:: returns to her chair ::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Turns back to the Admirals position and listens intently::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: Ladies and gentlemen, the original plan was for you to go on routine patrol in this sector. Until yesterday.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: We received a priority transmission from a planet in the Reesar sector, near the edge of Federation and Breen territory.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: Seems they've been having some problems with an unknown assailant.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: Kyti, I want you to take the Pharaoh there and ascertain exactly what has happened, and who is causing it.
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods ::  Trelan:  Aye Ca..Admiral.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: grins slightly :: CO: Don't worry. It will take me a little time to get use to it, too.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: As much as I'd like to tag along, I have a visitor coming to see me. :: grins a little wider ::
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods and grins ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: However, with your permission, Commander, I'd like to accompany you to the hanger for departure.
CO_Sacul says:
Adm Trelan:  It'd be my honor Admiral.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ALL: You depart immediately. Dismissed.
CO_Sacul says:
:: turns to Francis :: XO:  You heard the man.  All crew report for duty and departure.  Handle it Number One.
CEO_Davis says:
::sits up and exits without even pushing his chair in::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Stands and looks at both the Adm and the CO:: Adm/CO: Again, my congratulations to you both.  You both deserve it.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Stands up :: CO: Aye, aye, Captain.
CO_Sacul says:
CSO:  Thank you.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CSO: Thank you Stidd. I appreciate it. :: lowers voice :: And don't hesitate to contact me if you get in a bind. :: snickers ::
CEO_Davis says:
::enters turbolift:: TurboLift:  Deck 2.
CO_Sacul says:
:: shakes her head then turns to Dru and socks him in the arm ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
Adm/CO: Congratulations Admiral, Captain.
CSO_Stidd says:
Adm: I had every intention of doing just that, sir.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Leaves the room::
CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Thank you.  :: smiles at Francis ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
XO: Andrew... thank you.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
XO: One other thing...
XO_Revell-Francis says:
Adm: Yes, sir?
CEO_Davis says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the lower level of Main Engineering::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: points to the door :: XO: Your new Engineering Chief.... I think it might do some good for you to have a discussion with him. Something doesn't sit right.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Looks toward the conference room doors, then back to Trelan :: Adm: I will indeed, sir.
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: moves toward the door, then holds out his hand :: CO: After you.
CO_Sacul says:
:: socks Dru in the arm again :: Adm Trelan:  You could have warned me Dru!
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: grins :: CO: Sorry. I've been a little busy.
CEO_Davis says:
::wanders around somewhat aimlessly, happy not to be confined to a chair or a conference room::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Walks out of the building to the turbolift ::
CO_Sacul says:
:: chuckles :: Adm:  Come on, I don't want you to miss Xen.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Sees the XO:: XO: Sir, a minute if you please?
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Stops and turns to the CSO :: CSO: Yes, Commander?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: nods with a snicker, then enters the nearest turbolift ::
CEO_Davis says:
::comes across a turbolift and steps in::
CEO_Davis says:
TurboLift: Take me to wherever the Pharaoh is.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Straitens his tunic:: XO: I understand from your personnel file that you have a science background?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
Computer: Sub-level three, Hanger bay.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CSO: That's right, I've been science officer from the get-go.
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: I am a little reluctant to ask this seeing as how we don’t know each other that well yet, but Dru has helped me in the past with some issues with some experiments I am doing and...
CEO_Davis says:
::peers through the opened doors of the TurboLift after it has stopped and opened its doors, then steps out onto the deck and heads for the Pharaoh::
CO_Sacul says:
:: stands there then looks down at her uniform :: Trelan:  I guess I'll need to change uniforms now too.
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: Do you mind if I call on you to help me from time to time in this area?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: Yes. But I think red will look good on you.
CO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  And I guess I'll have to make Joe acting CMO until you can assign me a new one.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: looks around a moment, even though they are the only two on the lift ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CSO: Not at all, I'd be happy to get back into the lab. Granted, the facilities on the Pharaoh aren't quite like on my last assignment, but I'll do whatever I can.
CEO_Davis says:
::enters the Pharaoh on Deck 4  and heads for one of the ship's own turbolifts::
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: That is most appreciated.
CO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  Looking for something Dru?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: Kyti, we don't know what's going on. I want you to be careful.
CO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  Aren't I always Dru?
CO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  You’re the reckless one, remember.  I just always prayed you wouldn't get into trouble that I couldn't fix you up afterwards.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: laughs slightly :: CO: I wasn't reckless on purpose.
CEO_Davis says:
::pops in TurboLift::  TurboLift: Deck 2.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: It could be anyone. The Breen, the Gorn... hell, for all we know, it could be the...
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: pauses a moment with reluctance ::
CO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  The who?
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CSO: Just let me know, Commander. :: Smiles and hits the tubolift call panel ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: It could be the Kzinti.
CO_Sacul says:
:: blink :: Trelan:  The Kzinti?  You can't be serious?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: That info I found didn't look good. They have posts everywhere.
CEO_Davis says:
::arrives on Deck 2 and heads for the lower level of Main Engineering, getting the eerie feeling that he's already done this today::
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: I shall do just that, and if you don’t mind, its Stidd when not in formal circles.  I never was one to stand on tradition.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: exits the lift into the hanger bay ::
CEO_Davis says:
::sits down towards the rear of the small Main Engineering room and brings up the Engineering personnel roster on the computer::
CO_Sacul says:
Trelan:  I'd like to look over all the info you have Dru.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: It will be accessible to you. It's in the main computer, Command security code only.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Waits for the lift to arrive and enters it when it comes::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Smiles briefly :: CSO: Fair enough, Stidd.  :: Enters the waiting turbolift cab ::
CEO_Davis says:
::calls up individual reports on each of the crew members, combing over them somewhat carefully::
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods ::  Trelan:  Ok, you have any last minute words of wisdom for me then?  :: smiles ::
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: Do you have family?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: moves closer to the Pharaoh, reaching out a hand and running it along her struts, watching as several members of the crew enter ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CSO: Yes, I do, at Utopia Planitia.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Nods::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: Just remember not to fight with Andrew when he tells you to stay on the bridge, and Doctors have a way of being over protective of their Captains. :: grins ::
CO_Sacul says:
CO:  Riiiiight.  I'll probably do the same thing you always did.
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: I too have family.  They are back on Vulcan with the exception of my son who is being transferred back to Earth for special assignment.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: laughs ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CSO: He's in Starfleet as well?
 CO_Sacul says:
:: laughs with her friend ::
CEO_Davis says:
::recalls one or two engineers who were present during his previous tour on the Pharaoh and discards their records from the rest, remembering what he needed to know from before::
CSO_Stidd says:
XO: He is.  His latest assignment was on the Tal-War.  Before that he was on the Claymore and before that the Sharikahr.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: puts his arms around Kyti, giving her a hug :: CO: Better get going. Come back in one piece. :: smiles :: Xen would never forgive me if you got hurt. You're the only one that kept me together.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CSO: Ah, congratulations. They are all fine ships.
CO_Sacul says:
:: hugs Trelan :: Adm:  And don't you forget it.  :: smiles up at him with a tear in her eye ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: clears his throat before placing a hand back on the Pharaoh :: Outloud: Bring them back, old friend.
CO_Sacul says:
Adm:  Hugs to Xen for me and the baby.  :: smiles :: See you soon Admiral.  :: salutes ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
CO: Will do. :: salutes back ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: turns and steps back toward the rear of the hanger bay, wanting to see the Pharaoh depart ::
CO_Sacul says:
:: turns and walks onboard and heads for her quarters for a change of uniform ::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Senses the mixture of feelings radiating from the Adm. and the Dr.::
CEO_Davis says:
::notes the duty roster for the month and who was responsible for it in his absence, making sure he notes to relieve that person of this one small duty::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Exits the turbolift and heads for the Pharaoh's open companionway ::
CO_Sacul says:
:: changes her mind and heads for the bridge ::  Computer:  Bridge.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Follows the XO but glances in Dru's direction::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: throws a salute and smile at Stidd as he enters the Pharaoh ::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Salutes back:: Self: I will miss you, old friend.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
:: takes a deep breath and sighs slightly ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
<Flight_Tech> Adm: You alright, sir?
Host Adm_Trelan says:
Flight_Tech: Yea. I'm fine. :: smiles :: Just different not being up there with them.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Goes to the bridge and heads straight to Sci 1 and logs in::
CO_Sacul says:
:: steps off the lift onto the bridge and goes around to the Command chair and looks at it. ::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
<Flight_Tech> :: grins :: First time's always the hardest, sir. :: returns his attention to his board ::
CEO_Davis says:
::begins preparing the duty roster for the following month, rotating everyone through as best he can::
CO_Sacul says:
:: sits in the chair ::
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Takes a turbolift up to the bridge, walking around the back to stand by his chair, reading a status report on a PADD he picked up along the way ::
CO_Sacul says:
:: looks to see Andrew come on deck :: XO:  Are we ready to depart Commander?
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Begins reconfiguring the console so as to be more efficient and logical to his Vulcan mind::
Host Adm_Trelan says:
<Tenarus OPS> COM: Pharaoh: USS Pharaoh, this is Tenarus Operations. Your flight path is clear for departure. Clear skies, Captain, and good luck.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Checks the PADD once more and lowers it :: CO: All stations report ready, sir.
CO_Sacul says:
COM: Tenarus OPS:  Acknowledged Tenarus and thank you.
CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Take us out Number One.
XO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
<Xen> :: Approaches her husband from behind and places a soft arm on his shoulder.  Whispers ::   Dru: I understand, my love....
XO_Revell-Francis says:
Duty FCO: Secure all hatches and moorings, bring us up on thrusters and retract the landing gear.
Host Adm_Trelan says:
ACTION: The two Admirals watch as the Pharaoh exits the hanger bay
