 :: on the promenade at his station ::
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:
:: Putting her hair in a ponytail, she ties a ribbon in it.  For a moment she stares at her image in the mirror.  She could almost pass for eighteen.  With a shake of her head she redoes it her hair in a braid.::
Captain John E. Bodine:
 ::John takes a deep breath ready for his next adventure::
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:

::he quickly moves toward the Turbo lift::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::In his office, reading the latest infectious disease report from Starfleet Medical and eating a chocolate pudding.::
Chief of Security Commander Bill Powers: 
CNS: I honestly think there's nothing more I can do on this station without getting in the way.
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
:: Smiles::  CSec:  Considering we had not originally planned on returning, I cannot wonder why.  But at least we get to see Sulek off.
Captain John E. Bodine:
::enters the Turbo lift:: Computer: Operations.
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
 ::he removes his few personal items what he owns would barely fill the small shoe sized box.  All that is important is stored in his memories::
Captain John E. Bodine:
 ::the lift comes to a stop the doors open to reveal Operations he looks around to see who is there::
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:
 :: looks around the empty room a bit wryly::  CSec:  Had I known we were returning I would have kept a few things.  :: looks a bit sad::  As it was we lost everything we had on the Quirinus.  I had not finished packing things thinking we had time to offload when we left.
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
::he downloads his personal files his quarters already packed and transferred, this is the last::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::he moves quickly to the Station Commander's office door and chimes it once:::
Chief of Security Commander Bill Powers: 
CNS: One could say they were just 'things'.  At your age, I'm surprised you don't have entire moons worth of 'things'.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 ::sitting on her bed in her quarters her legs pulled up to her chest staring at a picture of her and Joe in the Arboretum::
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
CSec:  I am uncertain if I should take that as an insult or not.  And I do have more then I really need.  My adopted mother on Vulcan keeps a room with all that stuff in the hopes that we will one day chose Vulcan as home.   Hope eternal?
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
 ::looking up:: Come
Captain John E. Bodine:

CO: Yes sir, Captain Jonathan Bodine, reporting as your relief sir.
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
:: a final glance around the room before she snags her bag and heads out.::
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
Bodine: Excellent.  I know you have been here before so a tour is probably not necessary.  Perhaps we should meet your command staff.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::feeling her anger build she decides to go work out before she causes damage to her quarters:: 
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
::he moves to the Ops::Ops Lorin: Have staff meet at the Fez.  I believe we have an order for the room
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CO: I have had the better part of the last week to review your record Captain, while I am fairly sure this is the first time we have ever met, based on that record I doubt I will be able to ever replace you sir. Alright I will follow your lead Captain.
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
Bodine: I did not say duplicate, Captain but thank you for your compliment.
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin:
::sounds the all call whistle:: *ALL*: All Senior Staff report to the Imperial Fez by order of Captain Sulek.

Admiral Jarvis:
::bidding his time in the Imperial Fez::
Chief Tactical Officer Lieutenant JG Charles Albert On: 
:: Before he enters the Fez, he saws the CMO coming :: CMO: Hey, Downey. How are you doing today?
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 ::as she looks for her workout clothes she decides she really needs a drink instead so she heads to The Imperial Fez:: 
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer: 
::Smiles and pats the CTO on the back:: CTO: Just peachy my friend, how are you doing?
Captain John E. Bodine:
CO: I have not read all the personnel files but I understand you have a really good Chief of Security who is also departing. Could I ask him for a favor before he goes? I need a professional wipe of the Runabout memory banks the one that brought me here. By order of Starfleet, I need it to be thorough and complete. Can your CSec do it?
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
::they arrive at deck and he steps forward heading for into the Promenade:: Bodine: I am sure that it can be arranged.
Chief Tactical Officer Lieutenant JG Charles Albert On: 
:: Stands his hand in order to shakes his :: CMO: I am doing well, he use to here. I had adapted just fine
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
:: Arriving, she quietly takes a place off to the side.  Already she felt disassociated with the station... odd given how long they had been aboard.  But then she was used to saying good-bye... having to leave those she cared about behind.  Only this time, she was not alone.  She smiled to herself.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CO: A little but not more. Most my time was on a Nubula class Science vessel on an exploration Mission. The Elara 2 years before she was decommissioned.

::enters the Fez::
Captain John E. Bodine:
 CO: No, I do think you have me beat on Station time.

Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
 ::leads the way to the small meeting room at the back of the Fez::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer: 
CTO: Me too, Charlie.  It's actually quite exciting.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CO: Indeed ::does not say more and tries to smile outward toward the Senior Staff they are now approaching::
Chief Tactical Officer Lieutenant JG Charles Albert On: 
CMO: Oh, yes! It is
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
::the two captains enter together::
::he senses Azhure as he always does::
Ali (Barbara Moline):
Nyira: what are you doing here hon' you are still marked as on vacation. ::looks at Nyira with concern having heard about the death of Lt. Reese and had seen how close they had become:: 
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
:: With a smile at Sulek, she slips her hand through Bill's arm and walks with him toward the back room.::
Admiral Jarvis:
::looks up and smiles at captain Sulek::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CO: Nice place he says with a small hint of sarcasm. I do not remember this place from before. ::takes in the scantily clad dancers::
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
::he nods to each member of his staff::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
Ali: I'm sorry I just can't stand being in my quarters anymore can I sit at the bar for a while? 
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
Bodine: It came highly recommended by ::pauses:: XO Chambers.
Admiral Jarvis:
 ::walks across the room:: Sulek: Captain. ::Looks over to Bodine:: Bodine: Captain.
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:

Captain John E. Bodine:
::is sure to grant respect to the Admiral first offering his hand:: ADM: Admiral Jarvis, been awhile last time we met .. I think.. of I forget what happen now.

Jarvis: Admiral
Chief Science Officer Lt. Commander Trikk Starr: 
::nods with respect to the new Captain::
Chief of Security Commander Bill Powers: 
 :: Quietly ::  CNS: Pomp and circumstance.  It's always pomp and circumstance.
Admiral Jarvis: 
Sulek: Would you like to address your crew one last time?
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::shakes everyone’s hand he continues to turn not really paying complete attention he turns far enough to offer his hand to Nyira and pauses:: CIV: You are not in uniform?
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
To all assembled: While this is also a time when I am leaving for all of us it is a new beginning.  I ask that you remember this.  Vulcans are sullen not maudlin.
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
CSec:  Unless you want to rejoin a starship, I have yet to experience it otherwise on a station.  :: lifts a brow::  Well, Abetura did make some exceptions given who we had on board, so to speak.
Ali (Nick Moline):
 CIV: Of course you are always welcome here, what can I get you, on the house.
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
All: It has been my pleasure to serve with many of Starfleet's finest. I have learned from each.  I at times now even occasionally understand human humor.
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
:: smiles at the captain disagreeing on both accounts, but keeping that comment to herself.  Though perhaps the not maudlin part was usually true.::
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
All: My command of this station has been a challenge as I learned the workings.  Thank you for that support. 
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 ::looks at the man addressing her:: Bodine: why would I be? 
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
All: Thank you.  And Starr, no more unauthorized experiments. I now present to you your new captain. ::stands aside for Bodine::
Captain John E. Bodine:
 CIV: Um.. ::not sure what to say:: You must be a Civilian I am sorry forgive me ::blushes in embarrassment over his mistake briefly then takes a deep breath::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
Ali: I didn't know surprise me just make it strong. I have a lot I want to forget for the night. :: sits down:: 
Chief Science Officer Lt. Commander Trikk Starr: 
::lopsided grin at Captain Sulek::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 Bodine: wow you’re a smart one
Captain John E. Bodine:
ALL: I realize you have just lost your XO, and then your Ship, and now it seems your Captain ..
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers: 
:: Steps over to Sulek::
Ali (Nick Moline):
CIV: I think I know just the thing, why don't you come with me away from the officer's party
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 ::sighs and fallows Ali silently:: 
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
 ::he looks at her, a familiar sparkle of amusement in his eyes::~~`Azhure: And so it is we move to new paths~~~
Captain John E. Bodine :
ALL: A Captain you all greatly respect. I am not here to replace him. I am here to relieve him. I realize a lot of healing is needed before we can move forward. I hope we can work on that together.
CO: Well Captain what now?
Ali (Nick Moline): 
::once on the other side of the bar she ducks down under the bar and grabs a bottle of a bright blue liquid:: CIV: Whatever you do, don't let the officers see this stuff
Admiral Jarvis: 
::coughs::
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
Bodine: I say we have the Admiral make this official and then celebrate.
Captain John E. Bodine:
 ::looks to the Admiral:: ADM: Of course sorry sir.
Admiral Jarvis:
 Sulek: Captain Sulek, I hearby relieve you of your command, and transfer the captaincy of this Station to captain Bodine. You may stand down. However...
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:
 ~~~~Sulek:  Or in Bills and my case, back to an old one with an new twist  I admit I have missed being in command.  Though I am not quite sure how to balance that and the twins.  Then again, I have almost two years... gestation period of my species is rather long.  I think....~~~~  :: looks toward Bill uncertain how the human genetics are involved.
Admiral Jarvis:
 Sulek: There are a few things that still need to be taken care of... One...and I admit this is strange, but a former executive officer of you has sent you a bottle of something called "Jack Daniels" His name is....Pangborn...odd name
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
 ~~~Azhure: Even an old path presents new opportunities~~~
::Raised Eye Brow:: Admiral: Indeed.  He never did care much for my mineral water.
Chief Science Officer Lt. Commander Trikk Starr:
 ::steps into a corner to quietly answer the hail:: *Hail*: What is it? We're in the middle of something important here, and if it's about the new officer, land the shuttle, and direct his way to the Imperial Fez Lounge. Starr out.
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:
 ~~~~ Sulek:  Yes... and I am grateful I have that opportunity... ability, if you will.  Will you go back to Vulcan then and help out?~~~~
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
::he takes the bottle:: Admiral: I shall message him I received his gift and will save it for a time when I see him again.
Admiral Jarvis:
 Sulek: Now, it is my proud duty to give to you one of Starfleet's highest awards, the Legion Of Honor, for your many years as Captain Of The USS Quirinus, recently destroyed. It is given by the Commander in Chief of Starfleet to military officers who perform exceptionally meritorious service in a degree of great responsibility while in Starfleet. With that, we have an official change of command. May the fates treat you well. ::offers his hand to shake::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 ::rolls her eyes:: Ali: Those uniforms in there, I don't plan on being around them much. 
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:
 :: smiles and adds her congratulations as well as a hand clap.::
Flight Control Officer JT Doole: 
::arrives at the Fez and ducks down as he enters and silently stands, at full height, just inside the doorway.
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek: 
 Admiral: Thank you.  I am indeed honored.
Captain John E. Bodine:
CO: From what I have read well-earned Captain. ::claps::
Admiral Jarvis: 
Sulek: The honor is mine
Chief Tactical Officer Lieutenant JG Charles Albert On: 
:: claps ::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer: 
::claps::
Ali (Nick Moline):
 CIV: Well if you intend on staying employed here, you'll have to be around Starfleet officers quite a bit, this is a Starfleet station after all
Flight Control Officer JT Doole: 
::standing tall and silent, waiting patiently to be acknowledged by either of the two Captains standing across the way::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::she looks at Ali:: Ali: I don't know if I’ll be staying on this station much longer. :: sighs and downs the drink then heads out to walk the station:: 
Commanding Officer Captain Sulek:  
All: As we say a final farewell, I think I will cover this now.  ::he pauses and holds his hands in a final Vucan salute:: Live long and prosper.
Counselor Commander Azhure Powers:
 :: leans over to Bill.::  CSec:  I believe that is our cue as well.  :: smiles her good-bye to her old crewmate and a farewell to those she will not get to know.::
