Adm_Harlan says:
:: Nods to everyone there as she steps up to the front of the room.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Watches everyone around her, still uncertain of her role on this ship.::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::compliments the Admiral and the Commodore::
 .
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Standing, looking at the Admiral::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
All: Please... at ease.
CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Hears the command and slumps a little::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Humor in her eyes::  All: I will keep this short as I know how much people love loooong ceremony.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::moves next to his seat::
 
TO_Ens_Duke says:
::standing guard outside the Captain's readyroom beside one of Admiral Harlan's security detail, sizing his counterpart up::

CO: By request of the President of the United Federation of Planets, I would like to award you the United Federation Planets Medal of honor.  :: Removes the medal from the box.::
CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Smiles, but wishes he was getting his own badge::

Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CSO: For your service to Starfleet and starship Andromeda, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Adds the new pip to CSO's rank insignia::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CSO: Congratulations.
CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Smiles and laughs loudly before punching the air:: All: Yes!! Thank you to everyone for the support you've all given me!
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CSO: Congrats, Lieutenant!
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Laughs at the science officers response.::
CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Continues to smile and looks around at all of his friends::
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: That's all the ceremonial stuff for today.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: We have received new orders.
CSO_LtJG_Fielding says:
::Calms down and begins listening to the CO::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Because Andromeda is still in dire need of repairs and is in no condition to fly, we have been assigned to Earth law enforcement duties.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: I know that this is a rather strange environment for most of us because we mostly work in outer space.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::nods at the CO::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: But let's try to adapt and live up to whatever Federation wants from us.
CSO_LtJG_Fielding says:
::Nods::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Our next stop is Florida, Earth. There we will be briefed on our new orders. We will be working with Federation Marshal Service.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Looks at his PADD that's beeping::

Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Opens the ready room door and sees the Admiral::

::Looks at the admiral with real interest::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Surprised at the return::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: Please go ahead.
TO_Ens_Duke says:
::peeks in again::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Steps before the group::  All: As I am well aware of, some people believed in the war with the Synod and others did not.  However, the Amenti wanted to extend their thanks by presenting a special award.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::listens very carefully::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
All: This is a compain medal.  Because of the situation, you have the honor to accept it, or decline it.  Either way, it will go on your records.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::thinks the Amenti may be offended by a refusal...::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Opening the box, takes out the medal and turns to the captain::  CO: Captain...
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: I accept the medal. If individual officers wish to refuse, that is their right, but I recommend everyone to accept it.
CSO_LtJG_Fielding says:
::Is proud of obtaining a medal...::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
<campaign>
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:

XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Adm_Harlan: Sir
Host Adm_Harlan says:

XO: Agreed...
Host Adm_Harlan says:
CEO: Lieutenant...
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Adm_Harlan: Sir
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Reaches for another box and holds it out to him.::
 
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Adm_Harlan: Thank you sir
Host Adm_Harlan says:
CEO: Thank you...
Host Adm_Harlan says:
CIV: Doctor...
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Stands and shakes her head in the negative:: ADM: I am a doctor. I did what was needed and no more.  I stand with neither side in what occurred.  Thank you.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Nods:: CIV: Understood.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
CSO: Lieutenant...
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Watches as the newly ranked young man approaches.  She hands him the award::  CSO: Well done.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::understands the CIV position and respects it deeply::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
CO: Captain, I bid you a fair path... again.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Admiral: This was a pleasant ceremony. Thank you.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
:: Nods to the crew and makes her way back out to see Red waiting with humor in his eyes.  She shakes her head humerously herself.::
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Well, that was surprising but we should get going.
Host FederalAttorney_Eagle says:
::looking out the window in his Miami office, going over paper work and search warrants::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CO: Indeed...
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: We will now beam directly to a Federation office building in Miami, Florida, Earth.
 
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Standing:: CO: Do they have a specific roles for us or are we going to be plugged in... wherever needed as individuals?
TO_Ens_Duke says:
::hears stirring inside and enters the readyroom::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: I don't know the details.
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
::looks out his window on the 49th Floor::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: The coordinates are in our briefing. Program the transporters and once you are ready, energize.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: shakes her head, tempted to say 'This seems more of a job for security then for... well, at least one simple doctor', or the rest of them, but she was curious.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Aye sir ::Uses tricorder to beam crew to co-ordinates::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
Action: The crew materializes in Miami Florida in the Office of the Federation Attorney for the District of Florida
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks around the area.  It seems... cold::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All:  Welcome and please sit down
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Takes a seat::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: I am Eagle the Federation Prosecutor for the District of Florida, we prosecute crimes against the Federation here and do not deal with local crimes
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::seats next to the Commodore::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Slips into a seat next to the engineer.  What role would he play in this mission?::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: A Federation Crime is a crime against the Federation and the case reads The United Federation of Planets vs. John Doe
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Such crimes occur on Federation property or to Federation dignitaries or other such intergalactic laws
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks over at the Attorney, feeling so very out of place.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Turns to the CIV:: CIV: Your not the only one who feels out of place here
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Quietly:: CEO: It shows that much huh...?
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: As you may or may not know, beaming is common place in the Starfleet but is very costly on reasources here so private citizens generally dont go beaming around, they take shuttles or other such means of transportation
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV_Dr_Storm: I'm half betazoid, I can pick up on things most of the crew don't.
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: The Federation Marshall service investigated crimes against the Federation and is the Chief law Enforcement arms of the Federation besides such organizations as Starfleet Intelligence
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Our mandate is generally Earth
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All:  We encounter cases ranging from drugs to organized crime to murder and conspiracy
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: As you may or may not known Federation citizens must have a license to carry a firearm
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Private citizens just dont go around carrying phasers
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Your world is different that civillian life, now please raise your right hand
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Half listening to the speech, looks curiously at Conor wondering if he was from her people or more intune with body language then he knows.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Raises his right hand::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Raises right hand::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::raises the hand::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Please repeat after me, I ..............swear to uphold the Articles of Federation as a duly sworn Federation Duputy and uphold the laws to the best of my ability
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::repeats after the FedAtty::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::repeats the speech, using his own name::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::repeating the speech::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Debates on this part and with a sigh, raises her hand and begins to repeat the words.::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Congratulations you are now Deputies, ::passes out firearms and badges with the Federation logo::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Takes the weapon with a lift of her brow::
TO_Ens_Duke says:
::not sure if he's supposed to be there, but repeats the oath anyway::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::lowers his hand::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Feeling rather out of place but takes the items::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Clips the badge to his belt and puts the phaser in the holster in the back of his trousers::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
:::listening to his headpiece:: All: A Federation Councilman has just died, we have to investigate, you are to proceed to 1212 Ocean view to investigate your hovercars are outside
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CO: Do we get to use 2 firearms, Commodore? ::takes his badge and weapon::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Glances around at her crew mates, then at the attorney and almost smiles... talk about a group of misfits.::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
All: Questions?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
XO: I think we should leave Starfleet weapons behind.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CO: Understood, Sir...
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
::issues licenses to carry firearms and concealed weapons::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Atty_Eagle: Our CoC is still valid, right?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looking at the weapon:: XO: Does this work like a standard phaser?
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
XO: CoC?
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Atty_Eagle: Pardon, Chain of Command.
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
XO: I'm not familiar with Fleet talk
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
XO: Yes your chain is in effect
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::looks at it and locks and load it:: CIV: Seem similar
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Atty_Eagle: My bad, sorry.  We must report to each other.  Understood.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks toward the Attorney and simply nods at his answer, then at the CEO who answers her question.::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: I've read your file...NO MESSES
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: Practice might be in order...
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CIV: Yeah, they work like standard phasers.  You must take remove the safety first, though
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
FedAtty: I've never made a mess
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
CEO: No splattering and property damage
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
::sighs::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Hearing the defensive not in the engineer, looks curiously from him to the attorney, wondering what messes.::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Fed_Atty: If you're to respect our Chain of Command, you must address the Commodore and myself in matters of discipline. Do not speak to one of our officers like you just did.  ::pauses:: Sir.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
<not = tone>
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
XO: With all due respect If we get sued i have to answer for it
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Atty_Eagle: I understand...
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::looking shocked:: FedAtty: Where is this supposed property damage?
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
XO: As for Starfleet you can keep a lid on the media, I cannot if you end up in the media its a free press
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Wonders if his friend still has access to the SF shooting range::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Thinking that the Earth bureucrats have lost all hope::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::nods::
Host FederationAtty_Eagle says:
::paging through the CEO's affection for explosives:: CEO: Uh huh sure
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Awards to messes to presses... lovely.::
