:: Passed out like a brick, slumped over the desk in their quarters ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::enters Ops::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Sitting on the freighter as it approaches the station:: Self:: So this is going to be home for a while.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Putting dinner into the oven she then heads back into the main area. Seeing Bill's state of... rest, she smiles and moves to stand behind him.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: gets up and heads for the Airlock as the ship docks::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Laying her hands on his shoulders she leans over and kisses his cheek:: CSec: Wakey wakey sleeping beauty.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Lets out a rather ungentlemanly snort then bolts upright, eyes front ahead ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks around, and wonders where Harker may be::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: chuckles:: CSec: Perhaps I got the wrong story... that sounded more like a troll. :: kissing his other cheek she turns back to the kitchen:: What would like to drink?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: exits the frieghter and checks the layout of the station before heading towards Main OPS::
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
::noticing Sulek::Sulek: Haven't seen her since her return. My guess is she is recovering from recreation.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he pauses since that makes no sense and decides the XO is making a joke::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Realizing he's not in any danger - nor is the station - his posture relaxes significantly :: CNS: Sorry about that. Smells good. What's cooking?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: It is from a book of old recipes my adopted mother gave me before we left. And when I say ancient, I mean ancient. These have meat.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Mutters :: Well, that narrows it down...
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Arrives at Main OPS and looks to see who is in charge at the moment then sees a Captain and heads that way::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Pouring a drink she freezes and it slips through her fingers to shatter a spray of wine over the floor.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning as Twelk enters:: Twelk: Commander, may I be of service?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Pushing the chair back from the desk as he stands, he approaches Azhure cautiously :: CNS: Azhure?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Yes sir I am Commander Twelk your new Operations Officer reporting for duty. :: hands him he PADD with the orders on it::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Sinks to her knees among the mess, tears streaming down her face.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he glances at the orders:: Twelk: And I am Sulek. I am captain of the Quirinus, the ship attached to the station. I am sure that Captain Harker will welcome you personally soon. In the meantime, I am pleased to be her surrogate.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Silently curses to himself, wondering what this could be. His first thought is to her physical safety, making sure she didn't get class in her hands, or is sitting in it. Once he sees she's not, he approaches from her side, and puts a hand around her, starting to kneel :: CNS: What is it? What's happened?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Whispers:: CSec: Dead... all dead... everyone...
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I will look forward to that Captain. However for now I would like to see what I have been assigned for quarters and get my gear stored before I start going over the station records.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Who?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: Of course. ::He moves to a panel and transfer quarter assignments and notes::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: I see you will pull double duty as both ops on station and on the Quirinus.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Looks up, the emotions and vision slipping away. With his help, she stands:: CSec: I don't know. For a moment, it was if I was there, watching an entire world destroyed along with its billions of lives. But now it is gone.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: For the time being Captain till I determine who in my department is able to handle the ship duties.
OPS_Barker says:
Sulek: Captain, orders in. ::hands Sulek the PADD::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at the orders:: Twelk: Indeed and it looks you may wish to establish ships quarters first.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: If you concentrated, could you remember? Could this be important? An omen? :: Moves off to find a broom ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Notify the Quirinus crew to make ready. We have duty orders.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I take it we will be heading out shortly then?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: For the Marcella system. A gravity well has developed threatening two of the 5 planet's populations. Marcella I and II are sources for dilithium.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Closes her eyes and tries to pull the memory back. After a moment she opened them and shook her head:: CSec: No... I don't know what it was. What I do sense, is it has not happened. Maybe a... probability. :: shakes her head and moves to grab a rag to help clean up.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Understood Captain I will head for the ship now and have OPS ready to depart when you get there.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Just as well. We can't start second guessing our decisions and actions....
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: Excellent. I believe the term is baptism by fire, if my memory serves.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Kneeling she sops up the wine. Wryly:: CSec: Clairvoyance is not one of my skills.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: looks up at him.:: CSec: What I am curious about, is why I had the 'vision' in the first place.
OPS_Barker says:
:: Sends out all call for Quirinus crew to report to duty stations. ::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Not my first run around the Galaxy Captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: nods at the Duty OPS and heads for the ship's docking port::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks at her, his brow furrowing :: CNS: Are you sure you've never had premonitions? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. Could it be related to anything recent? Maybe that Terrapin fellow.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: arrives on the Quirinus and heads for the bridge::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Rothgar: You have the Ops. I will be on the Q.
XO_Cmdr_Rothgar says:
CO: Aye.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Sighs:: CSec: Who knows what I have had... the skills I used on my homeworld have changed... as have my experiences. :: Tosses the towel into the disposal unit, not wanting to deal with any glass.:: Unfortunately... nothing else comes to mind.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he moves out of ops and to docking::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: gets the summons from station operations :: CNS: Any chance that dinner's to go? Sounds like duty calls.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Turns to open the oven. Seeing it is done, she reaches for a hot pad:: CSec: Yes, give me a moment.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Quickly dishes out a portion and places it on a disposable plate.:: CSec: I hope it is something serious.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: arrive on the bridge and moves to the OPS console::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I assume we'd be preparing for a site-to-site if it was critical.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he arrives at the ship and heads straight for the bridge. The tedium of station life has been wearing on him of late::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he sits at the chair and inputs the clearances for Twelk:: Twelk: Operations is now all yours. Let me know as soon as all crew reports.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Hands him the meal and takes one for herself.:: CSec: Let's go.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: opens his console and starts getting the necessary clearances needed for departure as well as checking on his quarters assignment and having his gear transported there.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: sighs, setting his dinner down just long enough to grab his usual gear - the ubiquitous phaser rifle - before running out the door after his wife ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: There are reasons we keep double of everything. Have you ever thought of keeping a double of weapons in our quarters on the Q?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Pats the rifle on his back :: CNS: This is my rifle. There is no other like it.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Raises an eyebrow as they step onto the lift and then orders it to the docking bay:: CSec: Uh-hu...
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: When we are aboard, I need to change into a uniform. :: Steps off the lift and heads for the Q's berth.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Confirms each department as they report in::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain Engineering, Science and medical have reported all their department personal are on board. Also the ships umbilical has been disconnected and we are on our own power.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
:: Steps out of the turbolift at the rear of the Quirinus and takes over from Ensign Manhauser before glancing up at Commander Twelk :: CO: Fresh meat, Captain?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Pausing at the ramp, she checks them in with the duty officer.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Once they're through :: CNS: I'll see you on the Bridge.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Nods and heads for their quarters:: CSec: That tastes better hot.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Stepping into the lift, she orders it to deck four::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Gets the report from the duty officer that everyone is aboard:: CO: Captain the Duty officer has just reported that everyone is aboard. I am have the Airlock cleared at this moment.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Riding the other tube straight to the Bridge, he arrives, and proceeds to plop himself down at one of the secondary consoles, open his dinner, and dig a fork in, bringing a mouthful to his face ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Lay in course for the Macella system. As soon as we are clear of station warp 6.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Informs the station to release the docking clamps::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Loran: I do not believe that one refers to a Commander as fresh meat, but he is our new Operations officer.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
CO: New to us, sir. Don't worry, we only haze Ensigns.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
CO: ... and the non-coms, I suppose.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
Loran: It might be safer that way. :: grins::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Arriving at her quarters, she puts the dinner onto the table and heads for the bedroom to change into uniform.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Docking clamps released Captain.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: My complements to the station for their usual effeciency.
FCO_Flyer says:
Sulek: We are clear.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
