Let The Die be Cast! - Mission 15 - 11210.16

Summary:  Deep Space 3 is alive with activity.  Repair crews cover sections of the Station making repairs to the hull.  News crews film the heavily damaged Claymore as she arrives and docks at the lower docking ring.

********************************* Resume Mission ******************************

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sitting on the floor in her quarter, leaning back against the bulkhead::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Standing in front of the center chair on the bridge, waiting for word from Deep Space Three that they're allowed to dock...if matters are such on the station that they will be allowed to dock::
DS3 OPS says:
COM:USS Claymore: Claymore you are Cleared for docking.  Use Civilian docking approach for docking ring E.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::On the flight deck, supervising the securing of the flight deck for port operations.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Halfway submerged in a tangle of broken debris in engineering, his legs dangling out as he pulls more destroyed iso-chips from a darkened board.::

ACTION:  Sparks fly briefly from the engineering console just above Lt Fong.

OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Nods to himself:: CTO/Helm: Deep Space Three has cleared us for docking. Forwarding approach vector to ring E to helm now.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
OPS:  Thank you, Lieutenant.  Helm:  Proceed when ready.  ::Has a seat in the center chair::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes another drink, not even flinching::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Doesn't look up as he feels the hot embers land on the leg of his uniform. The last broken chip pulled he begins replacing them with fresh ones, one at a time periodically checking his tricorder to make sure that they are being installed in the proper order.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Signals DS3 that they received the message and are proceeding on the indicated flight plan.:: Helm: Watch your spacing, this is a civilian approach vector.

ACTION:  News vessels fly close by continuing to film the Claymore as she moves towards DS3.

HLM Ens Lawrence says:
::Lays in the course and proceeds at a reduced velocity from standard docking procedure, wary of the vessels that are buzzing around::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Watching out the window as they approach, so tempted to swat the news vessels like the flies they were imitating.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Sitting in his chair on the bridge, glad to have turned over flight to Lawrence for their final approach.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Takes note of the nearby news vessels and sends out a brief message to the ships informing them politely of the Claymore's intended path, hopeing that the ships will stay out of that course.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Stands from the floor, the wall as support, and moves to her room, bottle in hand::
DS3 OPS says:
COM:USS Claymore: Be advised of localized traffic in your area while docking.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks over the board one last time and slides it home into the slot under the console listening for the whine of power up.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Leaning against the back of the captain’s chair, she looks over at Theron.  Teasingly.::  CNS:  Sooo... what do you think about flying?  I know a brother who might take you on.
DS3 OPS says:
COM:USS Claymore: USS Claymore Admiral Cosgrave wishes to beam over for debrief.  Please advise when the Claymore is ready.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
COM: DS3: Local traffic noted, and notified of intended flight path.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Yawns as the flight deck ops pretty much run in auto.  Glancing at the chrono, he nods...  there's time.  Turning on a heel, heads for the turbolift::  Deck 4
HLM Ens Lawrnece says:
::Without taking her eyes off her console as she watches their vector::  Kendal:  Do you think those vessels would listen if we hailed them and asked for a little elbow room?
HLM Ens Lawrence says:
CTO:  Approaching inner marker, on thrusters only.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
HLM:  Acknowledged.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
HLM Lawrence:  I would just go for it.  If they get nipped, well... that is their problem.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
HLM: I've already informed them of our intended course. If they happen to be occupying it...
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Exiting the turbolift, strides quickly down the corridor, coming to a stop outside the CMO's quarters.  Frowning slightly as he remembers the last time he was here, he thumbs the entry buzzer::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Stands at main tactical on the bridge, keeping a bit more tense watch on the sensors than usual in this situation::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Nods to himself and backs out from under the console, standing to look around. Two men are lowering a fresh screen into the MSD pool table, without a pause Fong tabs open the lower access to the table and crawls under, his eyes dart over the slowly lowering screen and he begins making the connections that would be needed.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Leans back in his chair, and turns toward Senn.:: CSO:  It was definitely more exciting, I felt a bit rusty at it.  ::Smiles.::  Might need a bit more practice before I take on your bro.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
CTO: Admiral Cosgrave is requesting to be informed when we are ready to receive him for a debrief, sir.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks forward again at the screen.::  CNS:  Does that mean another career change for you?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sits forward in his chair::  Kendal:  Please inform Deep Space Three that I will be happy to receive him in the transporter room once we have docked.  Captain T'Shara is resting in Sickbay.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Better Damrok then her, was the first thing that popped into her head at that order.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Grins.::  CSO:  I think I can still be of help as a counselor, besides can always fill in as needed.  
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Turns toward Foster::  CNS:  Counselor, would you be available to join me when the Admiral beams aboard?

ACTION:  The Claymore slips in next to docking ring E.  Maneuvering thrusters fire and the Claymore slowly moves to port and docks.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::With a puzzled look at the lack of response, buzzes the CMO's door again::
DS3 OPS says:
COM:USS Claymore: Claymore please continue on internal power.  Station power levels are too low to support external vessel power at this time.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  Do we need to wait for our orders or can the crew debark as soon as possible?
HLM Ens Lawrence says:
::Stifles a sigh of relief, and looks over her shoulder, confidently::  CTO:  We've moved into position.  Clamps secure, Sir.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Drops the bottle into place and slips on a fresh jacket, her one concession. As she smoothes the collar around her neck, her fingers accidentally brush across the pips there, eliciting a deep sigh, though her eyes remain focused elsewhere.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::The reverie is quickly broken by the chime of her quarters, and she briskly turns away, practically transforming in an instance. She quickly heads for the door::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Turns to the CTO::  CTO:  Of course Commander.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Nods:: COM: DS3: OPS: Understood DS3, ready to receive the Admiral at his leisure.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Gives a light snort to both his remaining as counselor and his going with Damrok.::
DS3 OPS says:
COM:USS Claymore: Be advised the Claymore will be moved via tug to starship maintenance in two hours.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
*OPS* We are docked, but the station does not have power available.
DS3 OPS says:
COM:USS Claymore: Understood Claymore.  Admiral Cosgrave is standing by for beam out.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Due to the tenuous nature of the situation, please notify all personnel to remain onboard pending further orders.  If there is another attack, we may need to move, and move quickly.  If we're notified otherwise by the station, then we'll make appropriate changes.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Notes the tug movement on the ship's schedule and leaves it for now.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  In the meantime, you have the bridge, Commander.  ::Smiles, glad to be back at station, even if it and the Claymore are both a shambles::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CNS:  Counselor, shall we?  ::Starts toward the turbolift, entering, and holds it for Foster::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  Move?  Move where?  ::Turns to look at him.::  It is highly unlikely this ship would stand up for another attack.  ::Simply nods as she takes the bridge.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Navigates the dark of her quarters without hesitation, even in its unusually cluttered state, and approaches the door, pressing the control to open it, revealing her determined, but smiling face. She quickly exits into the corridor beside Hawk.:: CAG: Hey! Ready to face the aftermath?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Grumbles from under the console as the pool table gets lowered in place, light arcs from around the seams sealing the new one in place::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Quickly gets up and follows Damrok into the lift.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Simply shakes his head, knowing full well that what Senn says is true...nevertheless, the station is dreadfully short on options::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Turbolift:  Transporter room one.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Folds his hands behind his back as the doors close::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CNS:  Thank you for joining me, Counselor, and thank you for manning the helm, earlier.  Both are very much appreciated.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Frowns at the not so subtle move to again make sure he couldn't see into her quarters.  Opens his mouth, then snaps it shut with a slight shake of his head.  Putting a smile on his face, he answers::  CMO:  Sure!  I don't think we're in trouble anymore....   just really, really broken.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
:: As the lift doors close, she turns toward Kendal::  OPS Kendal:  Let the crew know that we are still on stand-by.  As soon as we know anything, we will let them know.
TC CPO Buttler says:
::Sweeping up debris from a broken display console in transporter room one::
CNS Ens Foster says:
CTO:  I'm glad I could be of help commander, better than sitting around watching everything happen.  ::Not sure why he's joining the commander to talk with the Admiral.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Mm. Looks like they're more likely to commend us now, than prosecute.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Grins::  CMO:  Maybe, but the day's not over yet.  It can still change.  Hmmmm...  acting Captain Hawk.  Don't you think that has a ring to it?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Just smiles...doesn't know much about Foster, nor has he talked to him more than once or twice, but didn't really want to meet Cosgrave by himself, nor did he necessarily feel tactical escort was appropriate::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
CSO: aye ma'am.  ::Looks thoughtful for a moment:: *Shipwide* All hands remain at condition two, section leads report status at thirty minute intervals. Information will be shared when it is available.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Exits the turbolift onto their deck, and makes his way toward transporter room one::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Follows Damrok out of the lift toward the transporter room.::
Laws Waller says:
COM: USS Claymore: This is Laws Waller with the Federation News Agency.   I'd like a moment on board the Claymore for a few interviews.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles::  CAG: Hm...Some sort of ring, I suppose. Just have to get Captain T'Shara, Commander Davis, and Commander Damrok out of your way, first.  ::Tilts a smile:: In the meantime-and-real-ish universe....ready to get that pip back?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Slides out from under the console and heads back towards the warp core reaction matrix checking over the crystallization ratio and the deuterium/anti-deuterium intermix flow.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks at the incoming message, and talking to no one particular::  He has got be joking.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Enters the transporter room, coming to a halt just inside the door, as he sees Buttler sweeping up, then takes a few steps inside::  TC:  Chief.  Is there anything I can do to help you?
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
CSO: Ma'am? ::He asks not wanting to missintrepit orders::
TC CPO Buttler says:
::Brushes the rest of the broken glass into a tray and places the tray into the replicator to dematerialize it:: CTO: No sir. ::The jagged cut on the sleeve of her uniform is marked with the dark brown stain of dried blood.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::After a few minutes of glaring at the comm she looks at Kendal and just sighs.::  OPS Kendal:  Inform him we are not in any condition to take on any guests.  As soon as the Claymore had been given umm... clearance, then the command staff will give it some consideration.  At the moment, we are... what is the word?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Laughs::  CMO:  I'm thinking the list of people to get out of the way is MUCH longer than that, Serena.  As for the pip...  ::Shrugs::  no idea.  I've not gotten anything from Stiggy saying I've passed his inspection.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
CSO: Indisposed?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Takes a few steps closer::  TC:  You appear to have been injured...have you been to sickbay?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
OPS Kendal:  Isn't there another term used to get rid of the media?  And if not, that one works just as well.
TC CPO Buttler says:
::Looks at her arm for a moment wondering where it came from:: CTO: It just a scratch sir. Can't even feel it.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: I don't believe I asked if he was ready. ::Pointedly::

ACTION:  DS3 signals the Claymore's transporter room that the Admiral is ready.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CMO:  Well, I think he kinda has to be.  My ranks come from Starfighter Command now...  not Starfleet Command.  Even if the ship CO's happy with my performance, it's up to him and his staff to approve it.  ::Smiles::  But you know...  it's not as big a deal to me anymore.  Kinda come to grips with it, I guess.
TC CPO Buttler says:
::Nods and moves to the transporter controls activating the beam in process:: CTO: As you say sir.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TC:  As soon as the Admiral arrives, I order you to report to Sickbay.  There will be time to address the transporter room later, Chief.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
COM: Laws Waller: Mr. Waller, at this time the Claymore is not in condition to receive guests. I will forward your request to Captain T'Shara and she will review it at her convenience.

ACTION:  Blue ripples form on the transporter padd.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
OPS Kendal:  Perfect.
TO1 Lt Kingston says:
::Arrives on the bridge and makes her way toward tactical::  TO:  Ensign.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Snaps to attention and faces the pad as the transporter beam whirls::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Turns his attention to the padd as he sees the transport begin.  Tries to straighten his uniform a bit and stand at attention.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods slowly, choosing not to take issue with the fact that it's still not what she asked:: CAG: Well that's good, I suppose, anyhow. Kinda doubt you'll get one anyway.

ACTION:  Admiral Cosgrave and Colonel Stiegler appear on the transporter pad.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Watches as the engineering crew begin painting a cracked support member with a durranium fiber infused material that provides a good temporary hold.  He then moves up to the catwalk area, with a PADD in his hand::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::With a glint to her eye:: CAG: Probably two.
TC CPO Buttler says:
::Signals that the Admiral's transport was successful to the Claymore's bridge and to DS3's transporter room::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Looks around the room as he materializes then steps off the pad.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
CSO: The admiral is aboard.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Rolls his eyes at those odds before reaching up and gently touching the pips on her collar::  CMO:  I'm glad to see all yours are still there.  Just proves you can, on occasion, do the right thing and survive.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
OPS Kendal:  Thanks.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Still at attention, waiting to be addressed before he makes any move::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  Commander Damrok.  At ease.  ::Extends his hand.::  Good to see you and the Claymore in one piece.
Colonel Stiegler says:
Admiral:  Admiral if you excuse me I'll go check in on the pilots.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Nods.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stands at ease and clasps Cosgrave's hand, shaking it::  Cosgrave:  Good to be in one piece, Sir, and good to see you as well.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Her lips part as if about to say something, but something in her eyes flashes, causing them to hesitate. Instead they curve into an easy smile:: CAG: I suppose the Admiral's probably about here now, speaking of...
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Nods::  CMO:  Yep.  Wanna go watch the fireworks?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Turns to Ensign Foster and extends his hand.::  CNS:  Doctor....  ::Pauses.::  Foster right?   Welcome back.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Raises her eyebrows:: CAG: Mm...  ::Taps her commbadge:: Computer, location of Admiral Cosgrave?
TC CPO Buttler says:
::Signals the bridge that Colonel Stiegler is also aboard::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Surprised that the Admiral knows who he is, he takes the offered hand.::  Cosgrave:  Ensign Foster, thank you Admiral.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
*CAG* Just a warning Mr. Hawk, Colonel Stiegler came aboard with Admiral Cosgrave.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*Kendal*:  THANK you!
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Folds his hands behind his back::  Cosgrave:  Doctor Foster filled in for us at helm during our encounter with the Vroa.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Given no response, she could only assume the media was good with Kendal's response.  With a quiet sigh, she turns to head back to her station to review some of the data she was not quite certain about.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Sighs::  CMO:  He'll be going to the flight deck, I need to get down there.  You  ::Points at her in mock indignation::  owe me a date!
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Smiles at the ensign then turns back to Damrok.::  CTO/CNS:  Impressive.  I always count on cross training personnel to get through a tough time.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  I will not keep you Commander.  I know you have a good deal here to do.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Mm..Dinner tonight then?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Cosgrave:  It is no trouble, Sir.  What is your destination?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  We have station sickbay on standby for your wounded.   The station is open as best it can be, but we have security check points throughout the station.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO: Right here is fine Commander.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CMO:  Perfect!  ::Reaches a hand out, then hesitates, pulling it back::  I'll see you tonight then!  ::Turns around and sprints toward the turbodeck::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Cosgrave:  You'll be staying aboard, Sir?  I can have operations arrange for some quarters.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Skids into the turbolift::  Flight Deck
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  No Commander.  I'll only be aboard for a few moments.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  I just thought a face to face visit would be best.  I'll be checking in on the Claymore while she is in dry dock under repairs.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Raises a breaths, as he dashes off before she can say more...but with Stiegler on board, she can hardly blame him. Nonetheless, the moment he's out of sight, her countenance drops once more::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods::  Cosgrave:  Understood, Admiral.  I appreciate it.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::As the TL doors slide open, take a deep breath, tugs down on his tunic and walks out of the TL...  casual...  collected....  sorta::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO: I have station quarters available for your crew or they are welcome to stay on the Claymore.   Station security is tight.  We have security check points on every deck.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Nods to himself that main engineering is in fair shape, then he gathers a kit and heads at a swift walk to the nearest of the multitude of hull breaches. Once they get those fixed and those forcefields down the power plants could spool down and repairs could begin in earnest.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods again, more businesslike::  Cosgrave:  I will notify the crew once I have returned to the bridge, Sir.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Turns back to her quarters and steps inside, letting the doors shut behind her and her eyes adjust once more to the darkness within::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO: From the initial reports it looks like the Claymore will be in dry dock for the next four to six weeks.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
:: Accepting an incoming message from one of the labs.  She pauses to pull it up.  A quick scan shows her a request for some added supplies.  The request looks fine.  Adding her initials, she passes it on to OPS.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  I've assigned the Claymore's command staff to the USS Kladenets should anything come up during the time the Claymore is under repairs.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::A bit crestfallen, at that::  Cosgrave:  Will Deep Space Three be receiving any reinforcements?
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Drafts a brief message to the CO regarding Laws Waller of the FNA's request to board and interview crewmembers and sends it into Captain T'shara's already backed up mail log.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  I've placed a request for additional security and ships.  I've heard rumors that the USS Andromeda may be moved to the area, but so far nothing solid.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Cannot prevent a reflexive raised eyebrow::  Cosgrave:  Andromeda?  Isn't she...  ::With a little hesitation::  ...an Ambassador-class, Sir?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  Yes Commander.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Leaves it at that -- it is hardly his place to question fleet alignments -- and instead changes the subject::  Cosgrave:  Hopefully any reinforcements will arrive sooner rather than later.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Stands silently next to the commander and listening to their exchange.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks on the damage control team working on welding temporary plates in place over the shimmering forcefield filled hole. He spends a long minute looking at the void beyond then shakes his head and sets to work::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::She hated the paper work of command, but for some reason, right now, it’s very monotonousness was... soothing.  Probably because it needed no brain cells.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  We can only hope Commander.  For now all we can do it get the Station and the Claymore back to 100%.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Briefly wonders how Theron is holding up with the brass.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Cosgrave:  If there is anything I can do for you, Sir, please let me know.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  I'm thinking of a long rang mission for the Kladenets  Something to the far side of the Fronteer sector.   Possibly to place sensor probes, but I'm not really sure I want to go kicking a bee hive.
