Previously on the Ganymede:  Captain Mattisse and the crew arrived back at Starbase 442 and each sr crewmember was taken to separate quarters and the CO reported to the admiral.  Being demoted she and the crew were 'passengers' aboard the Ganymede for an unknown mission.  The Sr crew is now in the Observation Lounge awaiting a briefing by

a civilian named McCarthy

<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::sitting in his chair awaiting his fate::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Sitting next to OPS listening to the CIV.::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Sitting in a chair next to the FCO. She looks at the Civilian thinking he is not a very  polite man::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sitting in a chair around the table in the Observation Lounge::
CIV_McCarthy says:
:: looking around the room the Civillian calls the briefing to order ::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Steps around the table quietly::
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: I'm sure your wondering why your 'passengers' on your own ship. Well simply put Starfleet command and the upper brass don’t like not being told what their ships are doing. SO we're enroute to Planet Benning.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
:: looks at the CIV as the meeting is called to order::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::suppresses an inward groan::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Raises an eyebrow as she hears the CIV::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Remembers the last time on Benning.::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::thinks to himself ... "we didn’t use a Starfleet ship"::

CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: :: hands each person a PADD with instructions and items on it :: Here is a list of supplies you will need. The mission you will be on the brass seem to think you need some honing on your hostage rescue scenarios, Thusly you will be on a rescue mission. Holographic hostages have been placed in a building in a city 20Km's outside the main city.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::takes the PADD handed to her::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::takes the padd and lokks the information over::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::She rolls her eyes:: CIV: So this is not a real mission? It is a test because we 'disobeyed' command?
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: You will hike from the main city to the building where you will mount a rescue of these people. It is in a small city heavily guarded and fortified. You are to get in and tag the holoimages with a device such as this.
CIV_McCarthy says:
CNS: Yes, that is correct. They don't like it when they get disobeyed as I'm sure your all aware
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Takes the PADD and hears the words hostage rescue and pales.::
CIV_McCarthy says:
:: looks over to the CTO: CTO: you don’t look to well.
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::She doesn't look at the PADD. She just places it down on the table thinking this is not intelligent. They helped someone::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Makes a mental note of the crews reaction::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CIV: What happens if anyone refuses to participate? ::Pauses:: CIV: Can someone get hurt during this?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CIV: I'll be alright. My last mission for the Vancouver PD didn't go so well, and this was a real person. But no worries.
CIV_McCarthy says:
CNS: If you choose to disobey you will at minimum, you will get a formal reprimand.
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Steps forward:: CIV: You can spend the time in the brig.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::remembers that incident that her husband mentioned::
CIV_McCarthy says:
CO: Or that as well, yes.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::looks back up after reading all the information:: CIV: I have a Question Mr. McCarthy, if I may...
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: Any questions, You will receive further orders when we get to Benning. FCO: Yes.
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
Labatt: For refusing to do a test? I am not saying I will not do it, it just seems like that is very harsh.
Host Capt_Labatt says:
CNS: You have your orders, It's your choice.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CIV: What are the conditions for exit ? I mean do we get transported out or something like that?
CIV_McCarthy says:
FCO: Yes at the completion of the exercise you will all get transported back out to the Ganymede which will be in a high polar orbit.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CIV: I see, sir.
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CIV: And can anyone be injured during this process Mister McCarthy?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::listens::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Looks at the PADD and sees the objectives and begins trying to formulate a strategy.::
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: Just to go over, the crew will be split into 2 teams.  Each person will carry, 1 standard, survival pack, 1 phaser rifle, 3 photon grenades, and 1 flash bang
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CIV: And what exactly is my role in all of this preposterous exercise?
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO: No, each item I just listed will be set to the minimal settings to avoid injury.
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO: Well, your a chief medical officer, What do you think? :: smiles at the CMO :: you will have simulated injuries to deal with
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Nods at the CIV::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CIV: Pretty heavy stuff. Are our opponents holograms as well?
CIV_McCarthy says:
CTO: No, they will be live personnel.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CIV: Mr. McCarthy, I regularly attend trauma conferences and as such this activity is illogical, what is it you wish us to gain from it?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CIV: Then that changes the complexion of things. :: Makes a mental note.::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CIV: One more question if I may ...
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO: I am only here to administer it. You'll have to ask the admiral when we get back to Starbase 442
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::She finally picks up her PADD and reads it over::
CIV_McCarthy says:
FCO: yes
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CIV: How much time do we get to prepare this mission?
CIV_McCarthy says:
FCO: We will be arriving at Planet Benning is just under 36 hours.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CIV: It is illogical for an officer to undertake the delivery of a test to not understand what the results should be....
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO: Simply put, the brass want to see if you can actually follow orders properly.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sits there quietly, listening to what is going on::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Looks at the CIV and rolls her eyes. This made no sense at all.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CIV: That is precisely why we are in this situation because we CAN do that.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::shifts in her chair::

CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: Any other questions, feel free to contact me at anytime, up until mission time. I will be evaluating each and every one of you for performance.
Host Capt_Labatt says:
CMO: Your job, as all Starfleet officers is to follow orders, What you may gain or not gain is up to those that administer the test
CIV_McCarthy says:
:: Nods :: CMO: accepted response.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::thinks "this is a little like back in the academy"::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CIV: One Last question. Will safety protocols be engaged during this mission? To keep any serious injuries from happening?
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: That is all for now I will give you another briefing just before you beam down. CTO: Yes safety protocols will be engaged. The brass doesnt want to see anyone get hurt during this mission
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
Labatt: With all do respect Captain, for which Mr. McCarthy does not know the answer too.  ::Turns abruptly away from Labatt, back to McCarthy.:: CIV: And what species shall I expect "casualties" from?
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO: A very acceptable question, Vulcan, Klingon, Human. Cardassian.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CIV: Will there be a need for a DECON unit or HAZMAT?
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO: Quite possibly. Be prepared for anything.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::looking around the OL observing all the people in it::
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: I have thought best that you all get some target practice in before arrival at Benning.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says
CIV: Since you have relieved us of duty and placed our counterparts in command who is reporting to whom in the chain of command protocol?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Digests the last tidbit and prepares for a no holds barred rescue mission. Better to overprepare.::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks at the CTO and she knows what is going through that mind of his, always thinking about going beyond what is expected::
CIV_McCarthy says:
CMO At present time all change of command will stay in place. With one exception. All major orders will be given by captain Labatt.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::waits to be dismissed::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Looks at OPS. Glad she is here with him during another one of these missions.::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
CMO: For your training Cmdr Matisse will be in Command. Your previous ships chain of command will remain in place.
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: here are the assignments for the target practice, CMO, CNS, and CTO
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Mumbles.:: I am sure Dr Zek is pleased by this, he hates being in command of a department.
Host Capt_Labatt says:
CMO: But as far as the Ganymede You have no rank at this time.
CIV_McCarthy says:
ALL: the other team FCO, and OPS with captain Labatt
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::it didn't surprise her that she will not be on the same team as the CTO, which is good::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Hears the assignment of the Doctor ant the CNS and hopes that there will be minimal reshaping of their talents in the weaponry department.::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
Labatt: No rank? Unless they have been taken from us then we should have them. ::Looks confused slightly::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
FCO/OPS: Report to the practice range.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::is stunned about the announcement that she has no rank::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::nods at Capt Labatt::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
OPS: Luck has us working separately. Just remember those not by the book lessons I taught you and good luck.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::looks over to the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::smiles at the CTO::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::stands up to move out of the Observation Lounge::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Starts to speak but thinks better of it and exits the lounge toward the lift::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::follows the FCO::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::watches the Captain just leave. She think he does not seem like a good one::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CMO/ CNS: Doctor, Counselor shall we adjourn to the firing range ladies?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::hopes the CTO will behave himself::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CTO: I suppose so and please call me Jen. We have no position or rank here. ::Smiles a bit as she stands::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::exits the Observation Lounge and enters the Turbolift::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Pauses just inside the lift and calls out deck 11 and waits for the others to enter::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::enters the TL behind the FCO::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CTO: You are aware Lt, that our oath to the professional medical field is to first do no harm.....
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CO: Sir, the information on the padd was quite vague what exactly shall we expect on this mission, sir?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CNS: Jen it is then. CMO/CNS: Kevin or any derivative will do for me or even "hey you" if you prefer. ::Hopes that the joke will calm the Doctor.:: CMO: But every situation especially this one will call for it. Just remember to heal you have to preserve yourself foremost. :: Hopes the logic is sound.::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Waits quietly as the lift arrives at deck 11::

CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CTO/CMO: Shall we go? ::Heads for the door::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Starts walking out of the OL toward the TL.:: CNS: By all means. CMO: You coming Doctor?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::feels the tension in the TL so she stays quiet::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CTO/CNS: Your logical is impeccable at this time Mr. Ashworth, however Miss Selar and I will with any "luck" be able to keep the casualty rate down with our professional mannerisms.  ::Follows to the TL.::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Follows the others to the TL:: CTO/CMO: If we are made a team we should do well. We have a Tactical Officer, a Medic, and my Engineering Skills.
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Is startled out of his thoughts:: FCO: It should be just a standard combat rescue. Someone wants you to feel like a cadet.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CNS: Your interpersonal skills at diffusing conflict will most be needed here, Miss Selar, however being prepared is a logical thing to do.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CMO: As long as your professional mannerisms keep us safe mobile and intact then we should do fine.:: CNS: Excellent point Jen.  :: Enters the TL and waits for them to enter.::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CMO: Yes I know Doctor. That skill was obvious to me. ::smiles a bit as she enters the TL::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::feels the turbolift slowing down:: CO: With all do respect, sir, I just came from the academy ... before this whole thing started...
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::hopes to stay in the background of the TL::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Enters the TL and assumes a rigid stance going over scenarios logic in her mind.::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::sees the doors open and waits for the CO and OPS to exit::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::follows the FCO out of the TL::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
FCO: Someone at SFHQ thinks this will make them feel better. ::Steps out::

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: As they enter the TL he calls out the destination.:: TL: Target range "Ashworth's favorite shoot 'em up."
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CO: I see, sir...thank you for clarifying that, sir
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Walks to the holdeck controls::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
:: waits for the CO to enter the commands::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::waits for Capt Labatt to start this practice::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Taps the display:: Computer: Activate phaser training level nine.
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Waits in the Turbo Lift, wanting to get this over with:: CTO/CMO: How do you two percieve this situation?
Host Capt_Labatt says:
Action: The computer beeps it's reply and the lights come up on the range::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
FCO/ OPS: Grab a phaser from the locker and get ready:: Points to the locker::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CNS: Highly illogical and unstarfleet, I suspect their may be an ulterior motive.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
:: walks over to the locker and opens it handing one phaser to the OPS and one to the CO:: CO: Aye, sir
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::goes to the locker and grabs a phaser that "feels" right then returns::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Feels the TL stop and steps out as the doors open::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: While the wait for the TL to drop them at the range by his ex- office he strikes up conversation.:: CMO: How rusty are your skills with a phaser rifle, Commander? CNS: Jen, my perception is the standard one. Someone has some one against their will, and it is my duty to rescue them by any means possible. I'm not about points or pretty
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CNS: Just as long as we get results.

FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::comes back to hand the CO a phaser while inspecting this:: CO: here you are sir
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CTO: Rusty, Mr. Ashworth?
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CTO: Good answer Kevin. ::Begins to walk to their destination::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CMO: Rusty doctor. As in how long has it been since you had any academy courses or training with a weapon?
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Takes the weapon:: FCO/OPS: First exercise is a speed targeting challenge, Hit as many as you can in 30 seconds
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Exits the TL and enters the holodeck by the Security Office.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CTO: I was the Tactical officer on the USS Geneva prior to taking my Starfleet Medical Boards.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
::gets ready to shoot anything that moves::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
::Activates his phaser on lowest setting:: FCO/OPS: Ready?
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Walks into the Holodeck and walks to a locker and grabs a phaser::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CTO/CNS: In other words, I know the finite details of the Tactical maneuvers.  I do keep in practice with the current standards via holodeck training.  However I personally prefer hand to hand combat.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Capt:  Aye, Sir.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
CO: Ready Sir
Host Capt_Labatt says:
Computer: Computer Begin.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CMO: Fair enough. Hands her a phaser rifle and hands one to CNS as well as taking one himself.:: Computer: Run Training Ashworth 173.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Follows them in and takes a breath before picking up a phaser rifle and setting it for her size.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CMO: Excellent. We may have use of those should we disarm our opponents.
Host Capt_Labatt says:
Action: Holgraphic targets begin popping up all over the target area, moving in assorted patterns.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she aims the phaser at as many targets and fires, hoping she would hit about 75% of them::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Puts the phaser rifle down:: CTO: I am better with a phaser. It is easier for me to use, I am more accustomed to it.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CNS: Then we may have to use your skills with the phaser grenades. How good of an arm do you have?
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CTO: A very good one. I play softball in my spare time as well as soccer. ::Smiles::
Host Capt_Labatt says:
Action: FCO and OPS begin firing, more targets appear as some are destroyed
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Gives the CNS the phaser grenades.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
::Nods to the CTO.:: CTO: Understood, I shall endeavor to do just that.
