Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: Day 187 of Starfleet's presence on Hais. Following the Reminiscence incident, things are slowly beginning to return back to normal. Or what normal is for the intrepid Abertura crew.

Host SM_Selan says:
Abertura Station Stardate 10304.23 "The Other Day At Work..." Episode One

Host SM_Selan says:
BEGIN MISSION 

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::in office on Level 10, gathering a few of his personal items::

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::fumbling around in a maintenance shaft... getting that "insignificant engineer" feeling again::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The early morning sun shines its rays on the purple and gray station which is nestled within the Rebquo Mountain range. The gentle fog gives way to reveal the glistening Kayairn City far below. The beautiful, cloudless blue sky seems vast and endless.

Yeoman_Gyst says:
::Leaves the C&C, riding the lift down, grumbling about the CO::

Host OPS_Cihan says:
::Under a ATWV, fixing the axle::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::is in the armory checking the phaser charges::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: There's a gentle rap on the side of the ATWV, and the OPS officer notes the presence of another pair of feet.

OPS_Cihan says:
::Sparks flying, until he hears the knocking, then slides out from underneath::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The ruffled, grease-covered, yet still oddly attractive Chief Jennifer Silver stands above Cihan, her arms crossed, her goggles shoved up into her hair

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
OPS: Hi there.

Yeoman_Gyst says:
*TO* Chief?  I was told to make sure that you were aware of the inventory that needed to be done on the armory.  The Blue Boss wants to get it done ASAP.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::opens the duffle bag he initially brought to Abertura some time ago and places the assorted padds and items in it carefully::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: Petty Officer Petty hears something scurry.

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::attempts to fix a leaking hydraulic feed pipe, and only manages to make the hole worse, covering himself in oil::

OPS_Cihan says:
::Clears his throat and wipes off his hands:: Chief: Chief!  What can I do for you?

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::grunts:: *Yeoman*:  I am here at the moment... verifying inventory and status of the charges.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: The Petty Officer gets too slick, and suddenly finds himself "sliding" [if that's possible to do gently] down the maintenance shaft ... the fuzzy unidentified animal that was scurrying tries to hide as the hulking man flies past.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::realizes he didn't really add much to the office during his stay; most of the items are simply work related::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
OPS: Actually I was wondering if you could lend a hand with some light repairs to one of the VIP quarters ... I was on my way there, figured I needed a hand ... and well, gosh, look, a handyman!

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::sliding down the shaft, losing his grip multiple times on slight handholds... bumps over a fur ball on the way down, leaving his face with a few tufts of fuzz::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
:;closes the duffle and places the strap over his shoulder, then takes a last glance around to make sure he has everything::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: The CBO something "whoosh" through the wall passing him for a moment.

OPS_Cihan says:
::Feels a slight rustle in his overalls::  Chief: Um... well, of course.  What do we need to do?

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::is stopped (unfortunately?) by a not-so-well-placed crossbeam vent pipe... drops jaw, eyes bulge::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::pauses, not sure if just imagined something actually heading through the wall::

Yeoman_Gyst says:
::Arrives at sublevel 7, exiting the lift and starts down the hallway, lit only with powered lights... amazing how quickly one becomes accustomed to daylight and windows::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
*C&C* Davis to Command and Control.  Are you reading any anomalies up there within the station..?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Holds out her hand so OPS can get up:: OPS: After our Haisian guests high-tailed it months ago, someone or something altered the light specifications for good ol' Mr. Syarta's quarters ... I wanted to make sure he wasn't blinded when he returned today.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Yokati'Clon> *CBO* Checking. No anomalies detected.

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::still cringing badly, falls over to his right and out through an access hatch... in front of the CBO::

OPS_Cihan says:
::Slowly reaches up, taking the goddess's hand::  Chief: Ah...

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::mumbles some Ferengi obscenities about women ordering him around::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::watches the Petty Officer slam down on to the floor of his office and wonders if this would classify as an anomaly::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: A large Klingon hand comes down and clamps on the TO's shoulder.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::kneels down and fumbles with duffle, trying to find a tricorder::

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::not saying anything, really isn't capable of doing so... just laying there, crunched up, with the same frozen look on his face::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
PO_Petty: Lie still.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Helps the OPS' get up:: OPS: Wow, you're light. Maybe you should eat a bit more? Put some weight on. ::Laughs::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::finally disregards the tricorder and hits his comm.::

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::manages to force himself to close his jaw... thinks to self "Do I have any other choice than to lie still?"::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
*Sick bay*: Davis to Sick Bay, medical emergency on Level 10 in the CBO's office!

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::yelps::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::does the obligatory Ferengi grovel::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Sickbay> *CBO* This is Sickbay. Dr. Jorae isn't available, what is the situation?

OPS_Cihan says:
::Looks down at himself::  Chief: Hm, not that light...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> ::Chuckles:: TO: Calm yourself, many-lobed man.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Smirks:: OPS: Uh huh. Let's go.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
*Sick Bay*: An enlisted man just fell through the roof of my office. He looks to be in a great deal of pain, and I have nothing to treat him with.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Sickbay> *CBO* Ah ha. We'll send someone right away.

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
General: You startled me... ::returns to a vertical position::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
*Sick Bay*: Thank you.  Davis out.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
PO_Petty: Hang in there.  Someone from Sick Bay will be right up...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> TO: Of course.

OPS_Cihan says:
Chief: Of course, let's go.  ::Grabs his tools::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::unsure of how to comfort the man, if that is even possible at this point with his knowledge::

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::manages to contort his face back to normal, and attempts to loosen his leg muscles::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Exits out of the bay, not really bothering to walk the ... "walk." Merely walks in an efficient matter::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::inhales:: General: What can I do for you Sir?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
:;jumps to his feet and activates the console on the door so it remains open, just in case the medics aren't intimately familiar with Level 10::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> TO: There is nothing you need to do, little man. I am merely "taking in the sights." I haven't had the time to ... admire the additions you Starfleet people have done in my absence.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: As the doors open, the CBO finds Laevon just passing by.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Stops, sees the man down on the floor:: CBO: Trouble?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: He literally just fell from above..   ::gestures to the man, and the ceiling::

OPS_Cihan says:
::Follows behind the Chief, thinking what small talk he can make::  Chief: Seeing anyone right now?  ::Smacks head... way to go!::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::smiles:: General: We added a few new "features" in the holodeck training... we increased the level of difficulty... ::mumbles something about at the request of the Jem’Hadar:: I'm sure you might find them.... interesting Sir

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Hands clasped behind his back, he looks up, then down at the man:: CBO: Does anyone in Starfleet manage to get by a day without coming up peculiar excuses for not doing work?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: ::folds arms across chest::  Actually, I make it a point to come up with some of the most inventive possible.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Brushes against OPS innocently:: OPS: Well, I can see you, but what does my visi -- ::Slaps her head jokingly:: Oh, of course, you meant dating! My, aren't I stupid!

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: And, as for him.....::gestures::...he's just not good at it yet.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Steps forward to look up at the obviously taller CBO:: CBO: Right, right. Hmmm ... aren't you supposed to be leaving or something?

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::shocked look, glancing back and forth between the CBO and Laevon::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: Try not to miss me too much...  ::smiles::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
OPS: Nah, I like to keep my options open. Ya never know when one of those Jem'Hadar will free up. I hear there's killers in bed.

OPS_Cihan says:
Chief: I think that's more literal than anything else.  They don't have reproductive organs.

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::finally squeaks out a high-pitched yelp:: oooooowwwww...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: I barely even remember your name. Which brings up another good point ... ::Looks around:: ... I don't see anyone else here to see you off.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Looks at OPS as they walk:: OPS: Wow, really? How do they have any fun?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: You're here.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at the officer, then back to Laevon::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: Isn't that enough?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: An accident, I assure you.

OPS_Cihan says:
::Looks at the Chief:: Chief: They're killing machines!  They get their kicks from killing!

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::grins, knowing that deep inside he will miss these delightful exchanges with the resident Vorta::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: I guess it would have to be. Sort of pitiful if you think about it ...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Puts a single finger to her mouth in a quiet sexy manner:: <W> OPS: Shhh ... they might hear you. Ya never know if the walls have gray scaly ears.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
*Sick Bay*: Can we please get a medic up here on Level 10?  I don't think it's a good idea for me to bring this guy to you.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> ::Looks around:: TO: Hmmm ... I might definitely have to give those a try.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: As if on demand, two medical officers enter the office to tend their ... "fallen" comrade.

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::slowly pulls himself up against a wall, color returning to his face:: CBO: I... ::whispering:: I can walk it off, sir... ::stumbling around the room gingerly::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: Not all of us can live up to the Dominion standard of excellence. 

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::continues to take the inventory in the armory::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::allows the medics to attend to the man, figuring he'll just get in the way::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Almost wistfully:: CBO: If only ...

OPS_Cihan says:
::Shrugs::  Chief: And they might not.  You never know...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: The medics try to convince the hurt petty officer to take a seat ... something he probably won't want to do for a while.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
OPS: Riiight. Well, here we are. ::Comes up on Syarta's former, and soon to be once again, quarters::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::steps back into office and looks at the access hatch which the Petty shot out of::

OPS_Cihan says:
Chief: I tell you, I think it's odd how the Haisian's opinions fluctuate.  They can't make up their minds...

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
PO_Petty: Perhaps you could tell me how you flew out into my office?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
OPS: Well, I wouldn't blame them. They see about thirty raging Klingons slaughtering everything in sight with us in the mix, and what are they supposed to thing? The group that has enough firepower to level their capital city is just a group of fluffy bunnies? I'm surprised they didn't order us off world.

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::stares speechless as oil from the spewing hydraulic pipe dribbles out of the top edge of the hatch onto the CBO's sleeve::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Coughs from behind and says silently:: CBO: It isn't ... your office anymore.

OPS_Cihan says:
Chief: But they need to realize that the Klingons don't represent us!  Neither do the Jem'Hadar

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: I haven't received official orders yet.  So, actually, it is mine for the time being.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::shakes sleeve and backs away:: Self:  Ayy...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Presses a series of codes into the panel in the wall, and the doors open to the slightly empty yet nonetheless elegant quarters:: OPS: Ah, but that's the kicker. In their eyes, we're just as responsible.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: Hmph ... seems someone isn't even worth Starfleet Command's time.

OPS_Cihan says:
Chief: I... guess... ::Looks around:: Where to start?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: I know.  It must hurt for you to be so slighted, by Starfleet, the Founder, etc...

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::closes eyes and breathes deeply as the throbbing pain begins to dull::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
PO_Petty: Anyway...::shakes sleeve again::  What were you doing before you...landed...here?

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
CBO: Attempting to patch the leaky hydraulic feed pipe to this section's ventilator unit, sir.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: Probably not as painful as being ignored and slighted by my own crewmates, no?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> TO: Any new weapons of interest?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: It is true that my colleagues are not a bunch of mindless meatheads who troll around in the bottom of the station.  They have things to do, just as I do...

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods at Petty, not sure if he can keep up with his questions and Laevon's remarks::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
OPS: This-a-way. ::Walks over to a panel, and opens it::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::looks to the Klingon then back to the inventory in his hand:: General:: Weeeellll....

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: No, you're right, if they advanced to the level of mindless-meat-head-hood they would probably be worth something.

OPS_Cihan says:
::Peeks over her shoulder::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> TO: Well what?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: That must be why you're here, in fact.  No other officers to pester.  We really need to find you a babysitter.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: Hmmm ... you mean your replacement?

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::wonders if the Vorta is a meathead looking for an equally-mindless colleague of his own::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: Surely he or she will be more equipped for the job than I.  I finished dealing with children a long time ago.  No need to do it out here..

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::sits behind desk and activates console, then sends a notice to M'Tor about the leaky hydraulic feed pipe and the injury to PO Petty::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::whispers:: General: I'm not sure you'd find it interesting Sir... but we've been trying new bladed weapon configuration... so as to not be dependant on energy weapons all the time

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Laughs for the first time ... ever. It sounds like the squeal of a dying rat:: CBO: Oh ... how humorous. But I must be going, I do believe they have your shuttle waiting for you down in the bay ... do us all a favor and go spread that great humor of yours to whatever rust bucket they assign you to now.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> ::Grins:: TO: Hmmm ... interesting.

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
General: We've found a new configuration from the USS Voyager... they met this race called the Hirogen.. ::shows him the blade on a PADD::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: Relax.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Laevon: I'll leave a forwarding address.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::deactivates console and again picks up duffle bag::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
PO_Petty, Medics: Can I help any of you out before going?

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
Laevon: I'm sure we'll all also have nice hamburgers when your next clone is developed, sir. ::stumbles out with the medics::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> CBO: I'll be sure to delete it.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Laevon> ::Flat out ignores the PO::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Medics> CBO: We seem to have things all in order sir. ::Glare at the Vorta::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods::  Medics: Alright.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Tinkers with the panel:: OPS: Tell me if something interesting happens ... ::Puts down her goggles::

OPS_Cihan says:
::Stares at her backside, and sure enough, something happens::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::moves to the replicator:: Computer: Give me Design T'rget  2 Beta...

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::rounds desk and heads out into the corridor in search of the nearest lift::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::enters lift::  Lift:  Shuttle hangar.

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
::retrieves the blade from the replicator and hands it to the General::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> ::Holds blade, spins it around in his large hands::

TO_CPO_T`rget says:
General: The Jem'Hadar seem to dislike it Sir.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<General Ranuck> TO: Hmph ... of course they do. They're all about the efficiency ... this isn't efficient ... this is brutal ...

PettyOfficer_Petty says:
::wonders if his wife will ever forgive him for this accident, assuming he recovers::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::exits lift and heads for the only active shuttle at the moment, not giving himself a last look::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: The lights in Syarta's quarters go blindingly bright.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: Suddenly, multiple beam ins happen in the shuttle bay, and the CBO finds himself surrounded by the command crew.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: All carrying parting gifts.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
CBO: Anything yet?

CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Steps from behind the shuttle:: CBO: Lt JG Davis... Did you think you could leave without saying goodbye!

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CO:  ::grins a bit::   Well, I was beginning to wonder..

CEO_LtCmdr_M`Tor says:
::grunts and steps forward::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: And we end this tail on a happy note, despite the sad departure of yet another Abertura crew member ... but the day goes on, and as does this crew.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
END MISSION
