<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Finishing the last of today's psych reports.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::in the Claymore lounge with a certain former friend from another starship in days long since past, toasting and drinking to the memories of fallen friends and sharing stories about their post Dominion War years::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::sits cross legged on her couch, absorbed in her book, on the very last page::

Host SMDave says:
ACTION: After a week on shoreleave, the crew of the Claymore fianlly begin to unwind and put their last mission behind them.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Exits his Office and heads to the COs Quarters for the final session of the day.::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Doing some work on the programs for the work simulations for the holodeck.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::in one of his rare moments, dressed in civilian clothes with his commbadge bouncing lightly in his pocket as he makes his way across the gangway attached to Claymore and heads toward the station's massive transporter facility::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<SCPO Merlose> ::laughing at the mention of a certain Caitian TO officer he knew during the war:: CTO: ...God, he was a pain in the ass. But then again... ::gulps his drink:: ...he needed to be! You kids were getting so damn slack after they signed the treaty.

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::rests in her quarters and wonders about the past mission and her own last mission she was on earlier::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::reads the last sentence and shuts the book, holding it to her chest, enjoying the simple fairy tale again, even if it is merely a Terran children's story.  Remembers when, Tessa, her mother, had it sent to her and smiles.  Lays the book down and decides to head for the lounge for some relaxation::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head and laughs, then sips his mixed tranya juice drink and eyes "Buster" Merlose seriously:: Merlose: So you'll do it? One last tour of duty?

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: This is going to get me even more depressed if I stay here.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
@::waits in line with the throng of people queued for use of the facilities and looks around, finding that he doesn't recognize a single face, what remains of Claymore's crew so thinned out in the station's comparatively large population::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Enters the TL.:: TL: Deck 2.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<SCPO Merlose> ::finishes his drink, savores it with a final, satisfied exhale, then returns the Andorian's gaze with equal steel:: CTO: On one condition...

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::strolls off the turbolift, glad to see the Claymore more populated and the happier auras.  Heads off down the hall towards the lounge::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::changes her clothes to something casual, a betaziod outfit and picks up FireWind and heads for the airlock and off the ship to the station and heads for the transporter facility::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
Merlose: Name it.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Exits the TL and heads to the COs Quarters.::  Self: Hope this gets over quickly I have some business on the Station in 45minuts.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
@::steps aside to let a Kressari woman with her pups get ahead of him::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Pushes the chime next to the door.::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::changes her clothes and puts on a more casual outfit and decides to head to the station.  Self: wonder what programs they might have that would be of interest to rock climb.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<SCPO Merlose> CTO: That you keep me on the active list for away team duty. I won't be treated like some old fart beyond his years. I'm only 52 for Christ's sake. There are captains out there commanding ships in their 80s. Now, are we clear?

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::walks in behind a couple, talking animatedly to each other, then heads over to the bar, sensing Kizlev nearer before even seeing him.  As she orders, a glance around spots him with an older, more grizzled man::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Pushes the chime again a little impatent.::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::walks over to the main transporter pad and beams down to the planet for some real fun::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Exits her quarters and heads for the station.::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Tapps comm badge.:: Computer: Locate Captain Daylan.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
@ ::taps his foot slightly to the beat of some public performer playing to the side of the open transit lounge, moving ahead in the line slowly but regularly::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::holds up his glass to the older enlisted gent':: Merlose: Chief, it is a done deal. I wouldn't have it any other way. ::finishes his drink and extends his hand to the older human::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
<Computer>: Captain Daylan is currently on Starbase 360.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::takes her fruit drink and thanks the bartender, almost coughs at the first swallow because of the amount of spiking.  Has to clear her throat as she walks up behind Kizlev::  CTO/Friend:  May I sit here or is this private?  ::watches as they shake hands::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
Self: Damn. Now I have to go running after Daylan.  ::Heads back to the TL.:: ::Enters the TL and notices Commander T'Shara.::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::materializing on the planet FireWind takes to the air immediately and Mirranda watches him go high into the sky::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
@ ::steps up in front of the immigration officer/conductor and offers his FedID and tells him his destination, accepting the card back with a smile as he continues through to the large bank of transporters to send him down to the planet::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::notices the CNS enter the TL.:: CNS: Counselor are you headed to the planet or the station?

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#Self: Go my pet enjoy your freedom. ::finds a nice area to sit and pulls out her PADD and begins reading it::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS:  I'm heading where ever Captain Daylan is located.  Seems he has forgotten our little daily session.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<SCPO Merlose> ::accepts the offered handshake with a wide grin:: CTO: Good man. I see you've gotten used to human customs since Pittsburgh... ::turns to regard the young Vulcan-looking pretty lady:: SO: Why of course, ma'am. Have my seat. Ol' Kizlev here told me a little about you. Glad I could see you before we shipped off from drydock.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Raising an eyebrow at the mention of a session.:: CNS: I see Counselor it would appear that he might think he is better and is in no need of your sessions?

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
@ ::steps up on the enormous transporter pad with a group of others and looks out the window to see the small bluish ball hanging in the black curtain outside, knowing that in a few moments he'll be there::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::smiles shyly at the unexpected compliment and takes his seat::  Merlose:  Nice to meet you.  You two know each other then?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS:  That would be a correct observation.  However I have orders from Admiral Bradley to continue the counseling sessions and report any new findings to him.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
SO: This is Senior Chief Clayton Merlose. But everybody calls him 'Buster' for reasons beyond my reckoning. ::grins:: He'll be joining security for the next voyage.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS:  It would seem our CO has other ideas though.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Well that is our Captain he kind of does as he pleases it would seem.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
Merlose:  Glad to have you aboard, Sir.  And it will be nice to have a friend on the vessel with us.  ::sips at her drink::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
@ <StationTranOp> Group: Energizing... ::works the controls, bored with the routine::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Steps out as the TL opens and continues to walk with Commander T'Shara.::  OPS: I would agree, but it is unlike Daylan to skip orders from the upper brass.  It is probably an oversight.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Exits the TL walking with the Counselor.:: CNS: Aye I'm sure he just got caught up in the time off.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::appears in the center of a long-established colony town, the old make-shift Insta-Domes mingling with more sturdily constructed and more modern press-crete structures::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::continues to read the PADD and nearly has a heart attack::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS:  Either way I still have a report to send.  This is, after all, cutting in to my shore leave.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Enters Transporter Room 1.::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Raising an eyebrow.:: CNS:  Don't you mean your profit Counselor?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<SCPO Merlose> ::bows his head to her:: SO: Yep, Kizlev and I go way back. I'm British by blood, but I'm a Texan man by heart. And I know a pretty lady when I see one. ::winks at Rhianna:: Now, if you two will excuse me, I have some 'kids' I need to shape up into fighting men. ::exits the lounge::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS: Me?  No just looking forward to some time off the Claymore. ::Gives OPS a big pointed tooth grin.::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#Self: I am going to Kill my sister Rianna!!!

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Taps Comm badge.:: Computer: Current location of Captain Daylan.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::smiles and watches the man swagger out::  CTO:  I like him.   ::leans her chin on her hand closer to the Andorian::   Do you have plans now?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
<Computer>: Captain Daylan has transported down to the planet surface. OPS: Looks like I'm heading to the planet now Commander.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Notices the grin and still thinks that there is probably profit involved somewhere in his time off.::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::nods:: CNS: Aye it would appear so Counselor.  I hope you are able to finish your session.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::watches Merlose leave then orders another glass of iced tranya:: SO: It took the last bottle of Andorian ale that I had to soften him up. But it was worth it. As for plans...none except passing the chief's transfer request to the captain. You had anything in mind?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS: Care to join me?  I might need your Vulcan strength to hold Captain Daylan down while I complete my report.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CNS: I don't think holding him down will be necessary.   Sure I can join you I was just headed to do some rock climbing but that can wait for now.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::strolls through the colony township, immersing himself in the ordinariness of it.:: ::spots many obvious military personnel by their posture alone, but they seem uniformly determined to not be those people while on Cooper's Planet::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Takes a spot on the Transporter pad.:: TP_OPS:  Beam us to the planet as close to Captain Daylan's position as possible Ensign.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Yes,  Cooper's planet sounds interesting.  We have not been there.  You will come with me?  ::looks hopeful::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::puts the PADD away and strolls down to the colony and recalls FireWind to her shoulder and he lands gently, and she starts walking::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Walks up and takes a spot on the transporter pad as well.::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
<TP_OPS>: CNS/OPS: Energizing.  ::Transports OPS and CNS to the Planet surface next to Captain Daylan's current position::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
SO: A planet besides Betazed you find interesting, eh? ::sips his drink:: This I must see then.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#::Materializes on the planet a few feet from Captain Daylan.::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Good!  We will go now?  ::starts to drink quickly then coughs a bit and puts the glass down::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#::materializes on the planet and sees the Captain nearby.::

Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Daylan is startled by the CNS materializing so close to him.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::hears the buzz of a transporter materializing near him and turns curiously at the sound:: T'Shara? ::sighs:: And Renor.

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::walking by herself cause she is upset about what she has just read about her sister Rianna, she doesn't realize that she has picked up an escort of children gazing at FireWind::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO: Captain how how good of you to pick such a lovely spot for today's session.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::notices Rhianna's casual attire, and feels strangely guilty about not being as relaxed as she:: SO: Heh, slow down there. You might flood your lungs if you're not careful. Anyways, I'll go now if you can tolerate me being in this uniform.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:   Hmmm, I like you out of it better.  Do you want to change first?

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#::walks over to the Captain.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::eyes her warily:: SO: Does this involve...a beach, perchance?

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::stops and turns around and the children stand there looking at FireWind and suddenly the questions flood Mirranda about the bird::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
#CNS: Can't it wait? ::reacts instinctively and grasps the Vulcan woman lightly by the arm:: I had promised T'Shara a dinner some time ago. ::smiles at her:: OPS: Didn't I?

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::shrugs enigmatically, her smile is coy::  CTO:  Water is relaxing, no?

Host SMDave says:
ACTION: OPS loses her balance at Daylan's tug, trips over a plant and they both end up sprawled on the ground.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::stands from his chair and holds his arm out to her in an escorting fashion:: SO: You're a bit overdressed for a beach I would think, yes?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  Captain the quicker we get through this the quicker I can start my shore leave.  I'm sure Admiral Bradley....  ::Watches as the two officers fall to the ground.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# Self: Oof... ::lands roughtly and rubs his back:: OPS: Are you all right? CNS: Help her up, Renor.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#::Helps Commander T'Shara up.::  CO: Captain I think we need to get on with our session.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I am prepared...you will see.  Maybe they do not require clothing, like Betazed.  ::says matter-of-factly::  We will not find out sitting here.  ::stands and takes Kizlev's arm::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#::Attempts to get up, brushing the dirt off of her and straightening her clothes.::  CO: I am fine Captain thanks.

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::as the barage of questions still hit Mirranda FireWind sneses that his master needs a respite and spreads his wings and gives a loud hawk screech and shakes and the children flee::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#:: Stands up with the help of the CNS.::  CO: To your question, sir, yes you do owe me dinner but I think you had probably finish your session with the Counselor first.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::exits the lounge and heads into a TL with her:: SO: Well, if you must insist, I suppose I could find something appropriate to wear. Or I could just remove my uniform while we're there. You do realize my people are not ashamed of their bodies, right?

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#CO: I would not want to stand in the way of your orders, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::gets up and dusts himself off, looking from one to the other:: CNS: You told her?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#::Smiles at Commander T'Shara's comment.:: CO: See, Captain?  I think everyone is in agreement on this.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I remember the baths of Andor, yes.  ::they continue walking down the hall, Kizlev changes and they head for the transporter room::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::looks at her friend and companion:: FireWind: Thanks I owe you one.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO:  I told her we have our daily session to discuss anything you wished.  Is that not what we do every day Captain?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::after changing into a white t-shirt and dark green swim trunks, he heads to the TR and stands on the pad with Rhianna:: TR Chief: Cooper's Planet if you please. The best beach you can find. Energize when ready.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::sighs:: OPS: Will you be around? I do owe you that dinner.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#CO:  Aye.  Come and find me when you are finished I think I might look around a bit.  There has to be a place on this planet where I can  do some climbing.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<TR Chief> ::gazes at the couple on the pad, smirks, and decides to input coordinates at the beach near to the township where the Captain and the others went, then energizes::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#::feels the tingle of the transporter and the next that strikes her senses is a salt water breezed, birds raucously fighting over a fish, and little children laughing and digging in the hot sand::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::materializes next to Rhianna on the beach, tugs at his white t-shirt, and glances around::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::nods:: OPS: I'll find you later. ::Turns back to Renor:: Lead on.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO:  Well I think there is a nice little tavern in the town lets head there we can talk for a few minutes.

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::walking on she inadvertently bumps heads with the CNS::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
# ::nods and starts to walk away.::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#::turns and is half startled by Lt Rochelle.::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#CNS: I am so sorry I wasn't looking where I was walking ::seeing the captain:: CO: Sorry sir my fault I wasn't watching were I was walking.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#All: Dear god...  ::Startled.::  This is a bloody small planet.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# CNS: We'd better get out of the line of fire then. ::wanting to take his business out of the public eye:: EO: Carry on. Just try to be a little more careful.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#::senses two sets of minds she 'recognizes', the one stronger.  Shades her eyes from the bright sun to look westward at the land rising into steeper hills::  CTO:  I sense our Captain Daylan and Commander T'Shara here too.  They must be close.  It is good for them to have fun also.

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#CNS/CO; Yes sirs I will be more careful.  ::lowers her head and turns in a different direction and keeps walking::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
#SO: And fresh air too...good for blood circulation...unless you're Andorian. The air is not chilly enough. ::grins::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#EO: No worries Lieutenant.  You just startled me. ::Continues walking back to town with the Captain.::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#CTO:  Oh, I had forgotten.  I remember as a child, going to the beach and skimming the water on our sailboat.  I love the sea...  ::looks out over the waves, then pulls off her cotton pants and shirt, leaving a bikini on::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::finds a bench and a nice spot to sit and she puts her face in her hands and cries softly::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
#::frowns slightly as he walks with Renor toward a small pub with a sign in a half dozen different languages, all espousing the quality of their liquor and the secludedness of its environment:: CNS: This looks good to me. Wha do you think?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO: Should be fine I have a meeting here later with some associates.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#::walks on and sees some steep hills and decides to go do some hiking.  Self:  This has been a while coming with the long hours on the Bridge.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::scans the horizon ahead, then turns to see Rhianna in her striking swimsuit, then looks at her eyes and smiles, seeing the sea breeze whip through her hair almost mystically, then feels the urge to undo the binding to his own long hair, does so, and lets his flowing white locks blow free:: SO: Walk with me, m'lady?

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
# ::leads him inside, choosing a booth in the corner:: CNS: What associates would those be?

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#::begins walking up the hill taking in the scenery and air as she goes.::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#::Follows Captain Daylan into the pub and takes a seat in the booth.:: CO:  Just some old friends.  I have some catching up to do.  I've lost all feel for what is selling now.  lol

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#::FireWind pokes his master a number of times to get her attention cause he knows if he doesn't she will collapse::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#::acts as if she is considering his offer and then answers rather coquettishly::   I will...this time.  ::pulls him gently over into the lapping waves, where the bottom sand can be seen through the clear green-blue water::  The water is warm.  That is better for you.  Kizlev...grandfather sent me a message...

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#:: the PADD that she was reading was a report that her oldersister Brianna was captured and her sister Rianna sent it but didn't say much of anything onther than she had been captured::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO: So Captain Daylan how have you been since we last talked?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::feels the warm water upon his feet, almost in awe at the not-too-familiar sensation of walking on a beach:: SO: Yes...and I confirmed that Yurichent was indeed on the station. It seems that nothing can keep our respective families away from our lives...not even death.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
#CNS: The same as yesterday, and the day before, Counselor. I've been fine. I'm trying to stay on top of the repairs to Claymore and the replenishment of the crew.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO:  What has been going through your mind when you aren't busy with official Claymore activities?

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#CTO:  He said he will check the schedule of the Claymore and try to rendezvous where we are stationed next.   He tells me a friend of mine will be with him, but he is mean...he did not tell me whom!   I hope our next mission will not be long...  ::gets very serious::  ...or so hard.  ::looks down and kicks a shell::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
#CO:  I can accept fine.  I hope it will become great at some point.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
#::came to the top of one of the hills and looked out over the land around the land.  Feeling the sun beat down on her.::

EO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
#:: Mirranda lets out a scream that sends FireWind into the air and then back down as he watches his master suffer and cry::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#::stays quiet about Yurichent for now and just enjoys the sun, companionship and warmth::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
#SO: Josiah isn't mean. He's merely the kind of person who enjoys keeping secrets. Something you and I know all too well about him.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
#CNS: I'm a military officer, Counselor. Highs and lows of emotions aren't encouraged. ::lifts a brow:: Fine is my natural condition. Perhaps a little better than fine. This planet reminds me of Bajor. You'll forgive me if that ranked higher on my list than another roundabout discussion.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
#::hugs Kizlev and thinks maybe she is too serious sometimes:: CTO:  No, I was...teasing.  He knows the secret will drive me crazy.
