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

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::finishing up some paperwork in the ready room before going down to the flight deck to check on things::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::On the flight deck, preparing for the ceremony::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Wrapping up a session with Lt. Marcus.::

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::Making last minute flight procedure checks with the fighter squadron, going over everything with a perfectionist's-eye::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::standing at the head of the honor guard line, himself and the guards dressed in class-E crimson uniforms, and all equipped with their ceremonial phaser rifles for yet another flag bearing and 21-gun salute rehearsal::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::files his report and drops a padd in his drawer before getting up::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::sits up on the couch and runs a hand through her disheveled hair::  Puppy!  Puppy, where are you?  ::gets up and doesn't feel too terribly bad::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::exits the readyroom and makes his way to the turbolift, stepping inside when it arrives:: TL: Flight Bay. ::leans against the car's wall::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks over some of the results on the testing for new crewman.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::watches the honor guard go through practice::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks over the list of new Operations officers and begins making preparations to begin training them.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::exits the lift outside the flight bay, slipping through the somber crowds doing the job but not looking particularly pleased with it::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::the pup-dog comes into the room from the bedroom wagging its tail.  Scratches his head::  Dog:  I have to go to work now.  You be good.  ::goes into the bedroom to put on her uniform and dog pads behind her::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::drills the men to fire low-yield projectile shots up and above, making sure they all do so in absolute unison, in proper stance, and in perfect rhythm::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::makes it through the throng and into the cavernous flight bay, hearing the crowed orders and snap of uniforms and weapons in the distance::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::padd in hand she leaves her quarters and makes her way to the Bridge to look things over.::

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::Nods his head with grudging approval of the fighter squadron's professionalism, before turning on a heel towards his shuttle::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::comes up behind Woody and stands a bit to the side of him:: CEO: They're looking good, aren't they. ::eyes fixed on the honor guard::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::enters the TL::  TL:  Bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Yes they are.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods his approval at the positioning of the firing line, the flag bearers, and the buglers::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::finishes dressing and heads out of her quarters at a brisk walk, but a bit of dizziness slows her down to a slower walk.  Gets on the turbolift and then realizes she doesn't know where the raptor is::  Turbolift:  Wait.  *CTO*:  Lieutenant, could you tell me where the sinoraptor is being held?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: It's a sorry occasion though.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes a deep breath and exhales heavily:: CEO: I wish they weren't necessary.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: That makes two of us.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::exits the TL onto the Bridge and looks around a bit seeing Lt. Grey with a new member of the OPS crew.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks at the  yawning open flightbay doors:: CEO: Atmospheric shield systems aren't having any problems, are they?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::stoic:: CO: Nope. One of the few things that isn't.

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::Settles into the cockpit of his shuttle, going through another pre-flight checklist while chaffing at not having any lead position in the formation, not used to being less-than best::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::leans against the lift wall, a bit out of sorts still and glad no one is there to see her::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::calls the honor guard to attention, and dismisses them, ordering them to return for another rehearsal in four hours:: *SO*: You mean the creature that nearly killed two of our crewmen? ::allows a subtle flavor of anger in his tone:: The one our Counselor brought upon us at such an inopportune time? It is in a containment cell in science lab 2 on deck 4.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::walks over to Lt. Grey and the other officers.::  Lt. Grey: Lieutenant, how are repairs coming along?

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::relieved after looking out at the endless stretch of cold space:: CEO: Good. Very good. Keep up the good work, Commander. ::claps him on the shoulder and moves on::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::bemused::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
*CTO*:  Good.  Thank you.  I would like to observe it.  Sorry to disrupt your rehearsal...

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
Turbolift:  Deck 4!  *Kitchen*:  Could you please send refreshment to Science lab 2 on deck 4...  ::thinks for a moment::   ....and make sure there is some type of raw meat with the dinner.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
<Lt. Grey> OPS:  Aye Commander things are coming along.  This is Ensign Lou she is one of our new Operations officers.  I am showing her around and training her as we go.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walks past the drilling Honor Guard and makes his way over to the fighter pilots, watching them illustrate with their hands the maneuvers they intend to perform in space::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods::  Lt. Grey:  Very good Lieutenant keep up the good work.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*SO*: Not at all. We just concluded. One more exercise and we'll be ready. But under no circumstance will you be authorized to make any direct interaction with the creature. At least not without the CSO or Captain's approval.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks at Ensgin Lou.::  Ens. Lou:  Welcome aboard Ensign.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
<Ens. Lou> OPS:  Thank you ma'am... I mean Commander.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::smiles at Kizlev's orders:: *CTO*:  I see. I hope the training went well.  I will see you tonight?

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Walks over to the OPS console and begins pressing in a few codes checking things over.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::approaches the blue-skinned man in navigation red:: FCO: How's it going, Ensign? Keeping up with the fighterjocks?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*SO*: Yes, thank you. I look forward to it. Kizlev out. ::walks over to the captain as he removes his funeral dress gloves::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks over as he hears the hard-soled shoes clicking as Kizlev walks over::

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::Finishes the flight tests he was running, before looking up at the captain, offering a smile:: CO: I believe they're the ones doing the keeping up sir. Everything should execute flawlessly.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::makes a curt "nod" of his antennae to his fellow Andorian pilot as he walks up to the captain:: CO: Captain, may I have a word with you please?

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::exits the turbolift and walks with less of her usual vigor to the science lab, reminding her of how she used to feel when she was living with her double self.  Takes a moment to observe how the new scientists are integrating into the labs and is pleased::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::almost laughs at the man's healthy ego, but not one to be surprised by after having served with many professional pilots:: FCO: Well I'm pleased to hear that. Excuse me a moment. ::steps aside with Kizlev::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::checks the number of seats::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::looks up from the console and back at Lt. Grey and Ensign Lou and notices they appear to be working well together.::

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::Gives the captain and Kizlev a quick salute, before returning to his work on the shuttle, straying into a daydream about upstaging the fighter pilots::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Sir, the men will be ready for the service very soon. But what I wanted to discuss with you is Counselor Renor's irresponsible...transaction that nearly cost us more lives on this ship. I have him being actively monitored as we speak. Do you wish to bring the matter up to the JAG office on the starbase?

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::blinks:: CTO: Back to the beginning, Lieutenant. What did Counselor Renor do?

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::nods to the various scientists working as she walks around to the containment area and sets her eyes on the raptor for the first time::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::finishes up on the Bridge and takes her padd and heads for the TL::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Nothing illegal until he failed to post proper notification of the cargo manifest he was attempting to transfer for one of his business contacts. It wasn't completely Renor's fault that the creature ran loose on the ship, but a failure in communication led to the intrusion of the animal.

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::Shakes his head at his introspection, exiting the shuttle and checking in with Fighter Command, before entering a TL headed for his quarters::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sighs:: CTO: Has the situation been handled?

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::attempts to contact the Counselor in regards to the session the Captain wants everyone to have.::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
<Menor> SO: Fascinating, isn't it?  I've never seen anything like this one.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::satisfied, leaves for main engineering, trying to cope with the scale of death::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CNS*: Counselor I wanted to go ahead and schedule a session with you as per the Captain's orders.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::nods at the other science officer, engrossed as well::  Menor:  I would like to see it in flight.  Have you found out where it originated?  If it is natural or genetically engineered?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Yes, sir. The full report should be on your desk by now. Lieutenant Jakiel will be conducting an initial observation of the creature in science lab 2 shortly. Sickbay cleared it as posing no biohazard threat to the ship. I just want to make sure Mr. Renor doesn't slip any more deals under-the-table without our knowledge first.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
*OPS*: I am just finishing with another patient.  Your welcome to come to my office we should be done by the time you get here.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CNS*: Acknowledged Counselor on my way.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sighs:: CTO: I don't believe Mister Renor is a deliberate threat to the ship. He might be taking liberties, but not in malice. Monitor his transfers and contraband will be seized.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Understood, captain. Also, the next rehearsal is in four hours if you wish to attend.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods:: CTO: I do.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Thank you for your time, sir. Good day. ::walks off to go work on some coordinating details with Major Sirk regarding the memorial service and the fighter formations::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
<Menor> SO: Well, I did find out that our Counselor Renor knows the most about how it got here.  It's originally from Bajor, but I've never seen one and would guess that it is rare or has...

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::watches Kizlev leave before turning to survey the progress. They would be ready. Already the flags of the Federation and Starfleet were flying. Daylan would have to release the fleet's livery colors from the ship's safe for flying as well. The ship's crew was busy. He just hoped they wouldn't need another one of these anytime soon::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::finishes his sentence for him::  Menor: some property that would be profitable for sale...   ::raises an eyebrow irritatedly at that reasoning::  I will speak to the Counselor.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
TL: Deck 4.

FCO_Ens_Tlshiven says:
::exits the TL once it reaches his deck, making his way to his quarters to retrieve his Kanjiri, an Andorian combination sword and zittern-like instrument::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::::exits the TL and makes her way down the corridor to the Counselor's office.::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
*CNS*:  Counselor, a minute or maybe thirty of your time...soon!

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
*SO*: Commander T'Shara is on her way down for her Counseling session.  I should have time later.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::watches the Fed colors rustle a little in the air conditioning before turning to look back on the crew filling the bay, swearing not to make the same mistakes again::
