CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives at RR for staff meeting::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Sitting in a chair, he shifts his weight, and discretely adjusts himself, then looks embarrassed as Sulek comes in ::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Arrives in OPS and heads for her RR, greeting those there.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::nods to Powers and takes a Seat::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
All: Welcome gentlemen. I'll try to keep this brief I know you'd like to get to your time off, Anything from the replicators?
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Walks to the replicator to get herself from tea and glances over her shoulder at the other two.::
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
:: swaggers into Ops and then to RR::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Nods to Rothgar and gestures to the replicator.::
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
Sulek/Harker: Captains. ::he grins::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Quietly enters the ready room and takes a seat.::
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
::sitting next to Powers:: Powers: Hiya. Shot anything interesting lately?
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Nods to CNS and gestures to the replicator in a 'help yourself gesture to the room at large as she sits with her tea.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
XO: I'll assume that's a joke, Commander. Not a funny one, but a joke none the less.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over at Azhure:: Azhure: Counselor.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: nods a greeting::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Looks at Rothgar puzzled but slightly disapproving.::ALL: Let's begin. Status reports, starting with Commander Rothgar.
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
Powers: Boy, between you and the little guy, you sure offer a party atmosphere where ever you go.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
XO: They don't call me the 'dour cowboy' for nothing.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Looks at her husband with a lifted brow::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
XO: If you could focus please. Anything to report?
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
Harker: All stations are within normal operating parameters and duty roster has been set for this cycle. No reports of any interdimensional beings for one month.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
XO: Good on that. Cosec: Anything to report?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he steeples his fingers as his hands rest on the table::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
SC: Starfleet R&D looked over the technological readings we sent them. I wouldn't expect to see any shield upgrades rolled out, though.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Powers: Too complicated for them?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
SC: Insufficient information. Maybe if we had captured one of their disruption devices.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Powers: I doubt the Lyrans would have been so accommodating. Can we expect any retooling for our security personnel or tactical systems. ::She glances at the tactical department representative for her last comment.::
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
Harker: Those and that phase shift mechanism they used on the Q would have been nice additions.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
SC: No change for now, Captain.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Rothgar: Most definitely.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Powers: Any changes to the training regime or are you set?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
SC: Business as usual.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Tactical quietly hands her a PADD with his report, she nods and returns her attention to Powers.::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Powers: Basically what I am looking for is due to recent events can you think of anything security wise we need to change. Since we can't change equipment that leaves training.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
SC: We can only hope to plan for the unexpected, ma'am.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Powers: Just so Commander. CNS: Counselor anything from your end?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: shakes her head:: SC: We have not learned anything more and as with the other departments, all has been relatively quiet.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CNS: That's good to hear on your second point, I do rather wish we had more on the first but little we can do there.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
Captain Sulek: Anything to add?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: The Quirinus suffered no ill effects from the 'phase mechanism' to quote the XO. We are powered, supplies at full and ready for mission.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: Thank you Captain.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
All: If anyone has suggestions for making us better prepared to handle future events you may give them now or as they come to you anytime. This was just a chance to touch base before our time off. Anything more to add by anyone?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks puzzled for a moment:: Powers: What is a dour cowboy?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: just shakes her head::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::stifles a snicker and manages to look wise.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::REB::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Silence and head shakes greet her comment and she nods.:: ALL: Well then enjoy your time off and remember to brief your related duty officer.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Looks at Bill::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Hm?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: Plans?
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Stands holding the Tactical Officers report as well as the more detailed reports from all departments.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: The usual. What's up?
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: Any plans Captain?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: No, nothing is planned for me at this juncture.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Stands:: CSec: The usual is work... no work.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: Well I was heading to the promenade for lunch, you'd be welcomed if you wished to go.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Come now, how many times are we able to leave work completely behind.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Lifts a brow:: CSec: Technically, we are always on duty... at least if we are on this station. However... that does not mean we cannot enjoy the moment.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: Of course. ::he rises::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Nods to the others in the room and walks out, talking to Captain Sulek.::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: I am attempting to get a more extended leave for the crew off station but Starfleet doesn't seem to agree it's a required item.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I assume, then, you have alternate arrangements.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::as he walks with her:: Harker: I must admit that there is a certain strangeness to leave. Those on station look forward to leave to planet or some luxury ship, while those on a ship look forward to leave on a station.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: As for me, I have missed being out there for the past several weeks.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: I was thinking we could leave the station a bit so that we can... get away from work.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: Well I expect to receive information soon on offsite shore leave.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Leans back in the chair, and puts a hand to the forehead :: CNS: When's the last time they let any of us do that?
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::A report comes in from ops that is being forwarded to all senior staff. Off station shore leave approved by Starfleet HQ for majority of Station Personnel.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: I do not necessarily understand the politics that cause Starfleet to make the decisions they do. Politics are seldom logical and yet they somehow find a foot hold even on Vulcan.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Smiles:: CSec: This time. :: reaches out her hand to him.:: Come along before they change their mind or something else happens.
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: True enough, in this case I think they are concerned at the entire senior staff leaving at..::pauses as her combadge goes off and the duty ops informs her as to the approval.::CO: Well that's something then. ::She says with a grin as they arrive in the promenade.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::listens to the report:: Harker: This is not, I think good news for the XO. He does not strike me as one who revels in the paperwork of scheduling. He is, however, about to become very popular.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Stands and allows himself to be led along :: CNS: I feel like I need to warn Saka. Or Nani...
SC_Capt_Harker says:
CO: I expect not but yes he shall be. Shall we lunch then? I believe I will then begin to pack.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: You can do that as you pack.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Harker: Of course. Please choose your favorite eatery on the promenade. I have little in the way of preference. ::pauses as he recalls how with Kraight they would be looking for Swedish meatballs::
SC_Capt_Harker says:
::Harkers nods and leads him to a bar styled as an old English pub, she orders a pint of ale with bangers and mash then glances at Captain Sulek giving him a chance to order.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks at the menu and orders something called 'the Vegetarian' and mineral water.::
