FCO Salan says:
::sitting in his quarters waiting for last minute orders to come through.::

CSO Stidd says:
:: Looks for the CO after reading the latest report::

CO Sacul says:
:: sitting in C & C ::

FCO Salan says:
::leaves his quarters and heads for the officer's lounge::

CSO Stidd says:
:: Enters the C & C and spots the captain::  CO: A word if you please, sir.

CO Sacul says:
:: looks up at Stidd ::  CSO:  In my ready room Commander.  :: she motioned with her arm ::

FCO Salan says:
::takes a seat alone in a corner in the officer's lounge::

CSO Stidd says:
:: Enters the RR behind the CO::

CSO Stidd says:
CO: Is this report about T'Vek correct?

FCO Salan says:
Self: I hate feeling like an outsider on this ship.

Host Bartender says:
:: approaches the Andorian :: Something on yer mind, Ensign? :: in a deep southern drawl ::

FCO Salan says:
::looks up at the bartender:: bartender: A lot actually.

Host Bartender says:
FCO: Care to talk about it?

FCO Salan says:
bartender: I don't feel like a part of this crew.

CO Sacul says:
:: takes the padd and looks ::

Host Bartender says:
:: slides into the chair across from the FCO :: FCO: How so?

FCO Salan says:
bartender: I don't really have any friends here. I know it's not supposed to be about friends on a ship, but, it would be nice to have one.

Host Bartender says:
:: laughs :: FCO: You have more friends than you know.

FCO Salan says:
bartender: I don't see them lining up to hang out or have a drink with me.

Host Bartender says:
FCO: Command has a lot of things going on right now.

Host Bartender says:
FCO: I don't know much, but from what I do know, they have to report to Temporal Investigations about what happened....

Host Bartender says:
FCO: And with the loss of crew... :: jerks head :: Well, let's just say Command don't think that a plus.

FCO Salan says:
bartender: Yeah, I know. I guess I shouldn't be acting so selfish.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: enters the lounge, walks to the bar, and orders a drink, swallowing it and requesting another ::

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  Is that all, Commander?

CSO Stidd says:
CO: So far all you have done is to look at the Padd.  You have not answered my question.  Is this report correct?

Host Bartender says:
FCO: Let me tell ya, son... these are good people. They'd stick their neck out for anyone that deserves it....

Host Bartender says:
FCO: And I've heard through the rumor mill that you started out pretty rough. But you'll smooth out around the edges. You've been on a long and dangerous journey... you see how they work like a well-oiled machine....

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  Yes Commander, that is correct.

FCO Salan says:
bartender: I'm the cog that doesn't fit.

Host Bartender says:
FCO: No, that's not it....

Host Bartender says:
FCO: You never knew Commander Khrex, did you?

CSO Stidd says:
:: Looks down for a moment in silence before speaking again::  CO: Kyti, how familiar are you with Vulcan rights and rituals?

FCO Salan says:
bartender: Nope.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: steps to the table, unseen :: FCO: Commander Khrex was the best damn pilot I ever knew. :: smiles ::

Host Bartender says:
:: stands :: Adm: Dru! I didn't know you were here!

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  I am not as familiar as you are, but I am familiar with them.

FCO Salan says:
bartender/ Adm Trelan: I think I get it now. I'm replacing the irreplaceable.

Host Adm Trelan says:
Bartender: Hello, Hoss. Yea, came in a few minutes ago and couldn't help overhearing your conversation.

CSO Stidd says:
:: Looks up into Kyti's eyes:: CO: What do you know of our beliefs surrounding the Katra?

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: holds out hand :: FCO: Hello, Ensign. We were never formally introduced. Admiral Trelan Drukkar.

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  That the Katra is supposed to be taken to Mount Seleya at the time of death by the Keeper of the Katra.

FCO Salan says:
Adm: Tanon Salan sir.

Host Bartender says:
Adm/FCO: I should get back to work. :: smiles :: Adm: I'll catch up to you later, sir.

Host Adm Trelan says:
Hoss: I'll see you later.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: sits in the now vacant chair ::

CSO Stidd says:
CO: Good.  T'Vek was the finest science officer I have ever had; bar none.  He would have known that he was going into a no win situation.  I believe therefore that someone is now the keeper of his Katra.

Host Adm Trelan says:
FCO: I wouldn't say you took the place of the irreplacable. Just have to work a little harder to get there.

CSO Stidd says:
CO: I request that we tag all flights bound for Vulcan with any crew of the Pharaoh.

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  I am unaware of who he would have placed something as valuable as that.

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  Why Commander?

FCO Salan says:
Adm: I'm not looking to replace him. I'm here to do the job he once did. Right now I just feel like the rest of the crew looks through me instead of at me.

Host Adm Trelan says:
FCO: Give it time, son. This was your first mission. In my opinion, you did a wonderful job. But these people... they've been together a long time....

FCO Salan says:
Adm: A wonderful job..... I spent 90% of the mission in my quarters with Andorian Flu.

CSO Stidd says:
CO: It is my belief that someone has his Katra and may try to leave for Vulcan.  Rather than risking them being AWOL, I think we should give them extended leave time for this.  Or Mt. Selaya will be a voice quieter for no reason.

Host Adm Trelan says:
FCO: :: laughing :: Hey, it happens. You ever hear about the time I was unconscious and they buried me in dinosaur droppings? Oh, did I raise some cane when I found out!

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  I agree that we should allow that leave.  And anyone requesting transport to Vulcan will have to answer questions too me about it.

FCO Salan says:
::laughs:: Adm: I want to feel like part of this crew, but right now I just don't.

Host Adm Trelan says:
FCO: It'll come. You have my word on that. Always does.

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  Did you wish to attend the ceremony?

CSO Stidd says:
CO: Duty requires me to be here.  I can not leave my post at this time.

Host Ens H’Lo says:
:: stops at the table, followed by three others :: FCO: Tanon, come on! We're heading to the holosuite to play a little Parresses Squares!

FCO Salan says:
::looks shocked::

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  I would not hold you here if you wish to go.  You would be granted leave.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: smiles :: FCO: See?

Host Hoss says:
FCO: More friends than you know. :: smiles dropping off the Admiral's drink ::

FCO Salan says:
Ens H'Lo: I don't know how to play.

Host Ens H’Lo says:
FCO: Then I guess we'll just have to show you. :: grins ::

FCO Salan says:
::Stands up to go:: Adm: Thanks for the talk sir.

CSO Stidd says:
CO: I know you wouldn't, but I have something else that I must deal with.  A "ghost from the past", if you will.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: mocks a salute :: FCO: Anytime.

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  Would you care to elaborate?

CSO Stidd says:
:: Pauses::

FCO Salan says:
:: salutes and heads out with the others::

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: finishes drink, then walks out and enters a lift :: Computer: Ops.

CSO Stidd says:
:: Sits down and stares at the floor:: CO: I had just been transferred to OPS on Alpha shift as an ensign.

CO Sacul says:
:: nods ::

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: exits the lift and approaches the Captain's office, ringing the chime ::

CSO Stidd says:
:: Stops where he is and looks towards the door::

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  A moment please, Commander.

CO Sacul says:
:: speaks to the door :: Trelan:  It better be important.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: enters :: CO: I didn't realize I needed an invitation. :: smirks ::

CO Sacul says:
:: smirks back at Dru :: Trelan:  You don't.

CSO Stidd says:
CO: He needs to hear this too.

CO Sacul says:
:: nods at Stidd ::

CO Sacul says:
Trelan:  Have a seat.

CO Sacul says:
CSO:  Please continue.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: goes the sofa off to one side and sits :: CO/CSO: What's going on? :: brow furrows ::

CO Sacul says:
Trelan:  Commander Stidd had a "ghost from the past" he needs to take care of.

Host Cmdr Trelan says:
*CO* Trelan to Sacul...

CSO Stidd says:
CO: Our CTO came up missing for shift one day.  We were in a dangerous sector anyhow and we were all ordered to carry our phasers on ship at all times.

CO Sacul says:
CSO/Adm:  Excuse me.

CO Sacul says:
*AXO* Go ahead Commander.

Host Cmdr Trelan says:
*CO* Captain, we have a problem...

CSO Stidd says:
Adm: I thought I had dealt with this already, but I guess not.

CO Sacul says:
*AXO*  What is it?

Host Cmdr Trelan says:
*CO* The Euphrates has been reported missing.....
