Standing Silent in the Night - Mission 6 - 11302.19

Summary:  Both the Claymore and the Cataria are docked inside Starbase 514.  With the Vroa threat, for now, gone the crews have been given shore leave aboard the station.  Both vessels are given priority resources for repairs.

************************ Resume Joint Mission ***************************

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Attired in civilian clothing -- a simple black turtleneck sweater and black slacks -- sitting along an observation window on Starbase 514, browsing the station's restaurant directory on a PADD::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::In a shimmering suit running the gamut from sky to cerulean, a sheer drape across her shoulders and arms, and a fine knit wrap of white about her waist, with flat sandals, she gazes over the rail of the sailboat at the glistening city beyond the sea::
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::In the station sickbay, with the mixed injuries from both the Claymore and the Cataria, she stays still on a biobed::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Continues to keep the ship on course as the warm breeze blows.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
@::In his locked office, the view from his desk of the ravaged flight deck.  Staring blankly at the desk terminal as the names of the dead and wounded scroll by... and keep scrolling and scrolling...::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Aboard SB514 in a fresh uniform after getting treated for his burns looking for the nearest comm terminal::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Motions to Raeyld.::  CMO: Have you every piloted one of these.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Steps into station sickbay, glancing about the ward::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Looks back to McQuade, casting her eyes upon the controls:: CEO: Pilot--?  I've never even been on one.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Checks his chronometer, and with a sigh of indecision, gets up and moves to the turbolift, consulting the deck chart on his PADD before ordering sickbay::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
@::On the Claymore's bridge helping to repair damage to the operations station::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Standing outside one of the clothes shop with Gladwyn hiding among clothes racks and Theron choosing some clothes.::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Opens a link to the computer system of his storage company and checks on his account balance::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO:  Excellent.  Then there is no time like the present.   ::Steps to one side and motions for Raeyld to stand in line with the wheel.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::In civilian clothes, her hair pulled back as always she steps off the turbolift and heads for the nearest holo suite::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CAG*:  You have been quiet far too long.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Arrives on the appropriate deck and enters sickbay, asking the desk nurse for the room number for Chief Chandler::
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Distantly feels the cooling sensation of a dermal regenerator passing over her burned hands, but remains apparently asleep::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Looking through the clothes, not something he'd ever enjoyed doing but with most of his quarter destroyed in the attack would need to get something.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Raises her eyebrows a moment, then adjusts her sunglasses as she steps down from the edge and approaches the wheel, pausing a moment before taking the final step up to the wheel::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Satisfied everything is in order and his stuff won't be auctioned off in the near future he kills the link and stands up:: Self: Now who is on their feet ::glances down at his PADD and starts making his way towards the station sickbay::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Wanders silently through the station's morgue, looking at the remains with one of the station's medical staff, helping to provide visual identity confirmations::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Glances in the store to make sure her daughter is staying close to Theron.  Lifts her hand to her mouth to stifle a laugh as she sees Gladwyn hovering with a dress behind Theron as if she were trying to see if it would fit him.::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Smiles.::  CMO:  Good now stand in front of the wheel and grasp it with both hands.  ::Steps back slightly still holding the wheel with one hand.::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Steps into the station sickbay looking to see who among the Cataria crew was still here::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Glances behind him and spots Gladwyn holding up a dress.::  Gladwyn:  Now what do you think you’re doing?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Answers quietly, almost listlessly::  *CSO*  Sorry, sis.  I'm....  I'm busy.  I'll talk to you later.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CAG*:  Aaa...aaa... you do not get off that easily.  If you want a bit more time, I will give it to you.  But not much more.  Too much time grieving can be dangerous.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Heads down a quiet hallway and rounds the corner, approaching room 3G, ringing the chime::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps just outside the holodeck doors, pushes a few buttons pulling up a program::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Takes a moment to get a good sense of the distance between ship and shore, to make sure she has plenty of time to abandon when this goes wrong, and dutifully steps up to the wheel, placing her hands upon it::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Shrugs::  *CSO*  Right.  Hawk out.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
Door:  Come.  ::Sits up on his biobed and looks toward the door::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Steps inside, hesitant at first::  SEC:  Chief?  I just got your message.
Andy SO Ens Baker says:
::Nods slightly to the over worked medic in the massive station sickbay::
Gladwyn says:
::Giggling, her translator on while she was roaming the station::  CNS:  Color good on you.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
CTO:  Sir...thank you for coming, Sir.  ::Runs his finger around the inside of his tunic collar, looking diminished from his usual confident self::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Finally spies Ivara on one of the biobeds and makes her way over::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Spots the CSO and Cmdr Light and makes his way over::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
SEC:  Not a problem...what can I do for you?  ::Tilts his head slightly, not quite sure what Alec might want...though he is a little concerned that he's been summoned to sickbay::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO:  Great.  Now turn the wheel left and her bow will turn left.  Right for right.   See that small island in the distance.  That were we are headed.  Keep the bow pointed towards it.   If the wind picks up just let the wheel go and she will drop out of the wind and drift.  ::Takes his hand off the wheel.::  Easy as that.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Grabs the dress looking at it.::  Gladwyn:  No, no, red is not my color.  Something in a blue or black would be much better.  ::Grins at her trying to keep from laughing.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sighs and then shakes her head imagining a few drastic things to catch his attention.::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
@::Shakes her head at the engineer:: EO: No no no, This one goes here, that one goes there. ::Points::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
CTO:  Sir, I'm...taking some time...off.  ::Lowers his head a bit, then raises it again, caught somewhere between prideful and humbled::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Observes Chandler carefully for a moment::  CTO:  Of course.  Thank you for letting me know.  ::Pauses::  But...
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Entering the clothes shop she smiles::  Galdwyn:  Blue would look better on you too.  Why don't you see if you can find a matching dress and shirt.
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO:  I'm going below to change.  ::Steps away and heads for the hatch.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Watches as Gladwyn's eyes light up at the task and she flies back to the girls dresses.::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
CTO:  But...I didn't want to tell you...in a simple text message.  ::Looks up at the ceiling::  It's a bit of a...mandated...holiday.  ::Looks back squarely at his department head::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles at Eris as she rejoins them.::  CSO:  Though I do think the red might look good on you.
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Feels the numb tingle of a hypospray at her neck, as the blank haziness starts to fade from her eyes:: Aloud: Where am I?
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Approaches Ivara's biobed somewhat quietly and pauses beside it::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stepping into the holodeck, she stops just inside looking around, feeling the warmth on her and the breeze::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods, her focus unnaturally upon trying not to crash, as McQuade heads below::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Hesitates, then his lips part for a moment before quickly shutting again::  SEC:  ...Ah, I see.  ::A bit discomfited, now, at the complete disappearance of Chandler's usual easygoing air, and the puzzle pieces fitting into place::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Picks up the PADD at the foot of the CSO not wanting to wake her::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Looks up as Power approaches, and nods::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Takes the steps down into the cabin picking up one of the bags as he moves to the port side cabin.::
Jeff says:
::Idles idly at the replimat not far from the station's infirmary::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Nods at Light: Light: Commander. One of the few who managed to escape relatively unscathed I see.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Lifts a brow::  CNS:  Hmmm... Red would make me stand out there.  I still tend to favor black leather.  :: Looks from her daughter to Theron and lowers her voice.::  Sky is responding... if you want to call it that.  How much longer should I give him before I terrorize him?
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Enters the cabin and shuts the door before stripping out of his clothes.::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Not in his usual harsh tone:: CSO: Morning, you're in SB514 sickbay.
Andy SO Ens Baker says:
::Exits the sickbay and heads towards the nearest mess hall or replimat she can find, positively starved::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Stares distantly at the wall::  CTO:  It's...almost amusing, Sir...I've fought the Romulans, the Klingons...the Tzentheki, the Carda-- ::Freezes, his eyes wide, and quickly course corrects::  ...I've seen a lot of battle, Sir.  I've never thought I'd experience anyth--
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Just nods, not seeing much to reply to that. She'd managed to be grounded for all but one of the shocks, and hadn't run into any Vroa herself::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Interrupts::  SEC:  Nothing more need be said, Alec.  Just take all the time you need...you have quite a lot of leave saved up.  Your post will be waiting for you.
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Takes out the swimming trunks and slips them on.  Followed by the light weight shirt.::
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Blinks back at the bright light, not wanting to wake up, but afraid that she'll be electrocuted if she doesn't:: XO: I take that to mean we won?
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Smiles, weakly, running his hand over his hair::  CTO:  ...Thank you, Sir.  I thought you should hear it from me.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Adjusts the course somewhat to stay on track for the island ahead, and fixing that as her mental anchor, she otherwise lets her mind drift in the breeze::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Looks over at Eris.::  CSO:  Black leather huh?  Think I'm ok with that.   ::His face turns more serious.::  I would say a bit more time, it’s been just over a day since he lost and had so many of his crew injured.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
SEC:  It takes quite a lot more bravery to admit...to seek the aid one needs.  I'm glad for it, Alec.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
CSO: Not the decisive victory I was hoping for but yes, we're still in one piece if you count that as winning.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks across the mountain top and over to a spot under one of the trees, there is a blanket sprawled out, sitting down she looks across the mountain range and takes a breath::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Nods once, and as he does so, his expression falls again to a blank, listless stare, his thoughts moving into the haze again::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Sits on the side of the bed and puts on the canvas shoes.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
SEC:  ...I should be going, now.  I'll send a message later, check on you.
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Swallows, her throat dry.:: XO: How bad were our losses?
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Looks up a moment, nods, and looks back down again::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sighs::  CNS:  I know.  I got off rather easy if you want to call it that.   ::Sighs again::  He never lost so many before either.  ::Shakes her head::  Are you sure you do not want to retire early?
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Stands grabbing the sunglasses out of the bag before opening the door.::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Stands quietly beside the biobed, resting a hand on Ivara's shoulder as she waits for Conor's answer::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Nods for second:: CSO: 26
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Kneels beside a gold shouldered body, and shakes his head:: Nurse: Flegar, Murray, Petty officer second class, Transporter operator.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::After a moment, turns and walks out of the room, pausing outside and leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, remembering Chandler's report verbatim...Klempener's head smashed to bits in the bare hands of the Vroa just before his eyes...and that could've been him if things had gone differently in the brig::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Experiments with the wheel a bit, very gently turning it to the side and waiting to see how responsive the vessel is::
Jeff says:
::Stands from her table and approaches the replicator, ordering a raktagino::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Exits the cabin and walks up the stairs.::  CMO:  I see we haven't hit anything.  ::Smiles as he exits the hatch.::  Enjoying yourself?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes the bag from over her shoulder, opening it she reaches in and grabs out a small container::
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Looks from the XO to the Commander for a moment, clearly confused by something:: XO: We really should talk about medical's emergency response times.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Starts to move again, slowly back down the hall toward the main ward::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  It’s not going to be easy for him and I know it’s hard to give him the space but it’s what he needs at the moment.  If it goes on too long we can start pushing more.  ::Gives her a grin.::  Want to get home do ya?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Blushes::  CNS:  That is not quite what I meant.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Looks back, a smile on her face:: CEO: It's nice... Restful. Yet...  ::Searches for a word, without success, and instead quiet satisfactorily settle upon simply adjusting the wheel back to put the ship back on course for the island::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
CSO: Most were lost to hull breaches and the Vroa boarding attempt, I suggest you recover fully before questioning the doc's response times however.
Andy SO Ens Baker says:
::Walks up to a replicator and pauses for a moment:: Replicator: Swedish meatballs, large order.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Shakes his head again...if a twenty-plus year veteran of the fleet and several wars can suddenly shake apart after a traumatic event, no one is immune::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Opens the small container, taking a fork from her bag.  Begins eating her salad, as she takes in the warmth of the air:
Jeff says:
::Klingon coffee in hand, he heads back to the table he had been occupying, in the seat he had been occupying, back to the infirmary's entrance, but a reflection in the display ahead giving him a discreet view of the infirmary's comings and goings::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Clears her throat::  CNS:  What about sending Gladwyn to him?
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Moves close to Raeyld and takes a seat.::  CMO:  Yes very restful.  ::Leans his head back over the edge of the deck letting the wind hit his face.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Takes Murray's hand in his for a moment, his expressionless face blank, but his eyes pale, he whispers something to the man's corpse::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Tries to look innocent.::  CSO:  I just thought you might be tired.  ::Nods::  CSO:  She is good at cheering people up, it might work.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Takes a bit of a deeper, slightly less easy breath, but quickly lets it go, and instead tries the exercise:: CEO: Do you get out here often? To this program, I mean.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks into the ward to see gathered crew here and there around biobeds, scanning the faces for anyone familiar...after a moment, lowers his head and continues through at the same pace without further observation::
Andy SO Ens Baker says:
::Settles down at one of the replimat's tables with a heaping pile of Swedish meatballs, she grins with almost feral hunger.::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO:  Nope.  I haven't used it since arriving on the Andromeda.  After working in Engineering for what seemed like day I figured I needed a rest.
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Shakes her head slightly:: XO: I'm just thinking that I saw the Captain injured on the bridge and no medical response.  Did the station take any casualties?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Do you have enough items to get you through the next few days?  If so, why do we not go have some dinner and then maybe see if he would not mind watching Gladwyn for a bit.
Attache Cmdr Light says:
::Pats Ivara on the shoulder once more, before glancing across the ward, she freezes for a nearly imperceptible moment::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Glances over his shoulder only momentarily as he disappears from view beyond the entrance to sickbay::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Nods::  CSO:  Yeah I should be good for a couple days at least.  Dinner sounds good.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
CSO: The Captain was in a stable condition ::Looks up briefly to see what Light had her attention caught by:: and others were in a far more serious condition. The station had its shields up the entire time its fine. Now isn't the time for this, we need to regroup, get everyone back into one piece, figure out better tactics for next time and continue the fight.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::This wouldn't be the last encounter she thought.  But, would they be ready for the next::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::We can drop them off at my... our... quarters.  And I think my daughter has found something to add to your pile.  ::Catching Gladwyn's eyes, she motions her daughter over.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods:: CEO: Seems well deserved. Too many d--   ::Shakes her head, then shakes it again:: Does your family still sail?
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Just a little bitterness in her tone as she begins to come out of the drug induced fogginess:: XO: Not electrocuting already injured officers would probably be a good place to start with those better tactics...don't you think.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Quickly refocuses on Ivara and Conor, though she's mentally shaking her head at even holding such a conversation while one is still convalescing. But she doesn't dare try to get between these two::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out his combadge, suddenly feeling the need for noncommittal, reserved company, and as his mind scans through the names, he narrows it to two, then taps the 'badge::  *TO*:  Damrok to Kytides.
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO: Yeah.  They spend most of their day on the ocean.  Not sailing, but on fishing boats.  But I'm sure they open the sails once in a while still.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Smiles:: CEO: Sounds pleasant.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Turns as Gladwyn comes over.:: Gladwyn:  What do you have there? 
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes the last bite of her salad and places it back in the bag, lying next to her::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
CSO: Well it’s the only way we have today to force the Vroa to uncloak. If you have better suggestions on how to penetrate their cloak I'm sure everyone who ended up getting shocked will love to hear them.
Gladwyn says:
::Flying over hands him a blue dress with one of her smiles::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Pats Ivara's shoulder once more:: CSO: Now...there's a lot for you to be caught up on.   ::Looks up at Conor:: XO: And a lot of recovery still to do.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Folds Murray's hands back together around a small talisman, and nods to the nurse prepared to move on::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks at the sound of the commbadge, the sudden distraction causing just a slight enough twitch to bring mess of playing cards that just moments ago was a promising structure down, and curses before grabbing the badge from beside the pile::  *CTO*:  Kytides here, Sir.
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO: At times.  It’s better in times like this.  ::Looks over the bow.::  What do you do to get away from the grind of Starfleet?
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Shakes her head:: CSO/XO: And actually, if you can keep from verbally spearing each other a little while, I have an errand to run.   CSO: You should get some rest.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Looks up at Light from her slight dig:: Light: Indeed.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles at her.::  Gladwyn:  Good choice.  Now we can pay for these and head home.
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Looks daggers at the XO, an ability provided by both her heritages.:: XO: I'm sure I will.  ::She pauses as Light speaks and then quite literally bites her tongue on the next phrase:: Light: Oh kay. ::She then looks back at the XO::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  I was thinking about heading to the phaser practice range here on the starbase, if you're interested in joining me.  Nothing else seems to suit, today.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Shrugs and smiles:: CEO: Different grind, same song.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Pushing herself up off the ground she walks over to the edge and looks down::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks at Theron, wondering if she would get used to hearing those words.  With a shake of her head, she steps away and leaves the two to their purchases.::  *CAG*:  Gladwyn misses you.  Have you had enough time yet?
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Stands and walk up behind Raeyld placing his hands on her shoulder.::  CMO::  See that set of rocks just to the south of the island?
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Looks down again at the cards scattered around before standing up, deciding extra practice would be worthwhile, considering he'll be running training from now on::  *CTO*:  Aye, Sir.  That sounds good.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Looks up, an odd mix of annoyed and relieved for the interruption::  *CSO*: Gladwyn misses me or you and Theron have plans that require privacy?
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
CSO: Get better Ivara, there is plenty of work left once you are up on your feet. ::nods at her and makes his way out of sickbay::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Eyes both Power and Ivara somewhat distrustingly, but steps away from the biobed nonetheless::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Makes her way out of sickbay and glances around a moment from the corridor::
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Lays back on the biobed, with her eyes closed::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Placing her right hand on her shoulder, she looked down again.  Maybe a little climb::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Excellent.  I'll see you there...as soon as I have found it in my deck plans.  ::Lifts his PADD to begin reading as he moves toward a nearby turbolift, pressing the call button and waiting::
Jeff says:
::Sees Conor exit sickbay, as well as Light, and waits::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Starts making his way towards the holosuites::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles as he and Gladwyn move to the clerk and pay for their items.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CAG*:  Both.  And I miss you too.  It was hard back there.  You need to enjoy family.  ::Her voice serious::  It is all we really have in the end.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods, drawing a breath:: CEO: yes.
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
@::Closes the console on the operations panel and starts the power up sequence.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CAG*:  Come have dinner with us.
Jeff says:
::Sees Conor move away from Light, and stands, heading back to the replicator for a fresh raktagino::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Grabs his PADD and exits the room, pocketing his commbadge as he goes::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Sees something she finds...interesting, and starts down the corridor::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Softly::  *CSO*:  I know sis...  we'll see, okay?  I need to...  figure some things out.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Glances behind him for a second thinking he recognized someone in the distance::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO: Take us parallel to those rocks.  ::Taps the controls to bring the sails to half.::  We will drop anchor there.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Decides the shoulder isn't bothering her that bad that she couldn't, without another thought she begins to climb down the mountain side::
Jeff says:
::Turns back from the replicator and walks out of the replimat::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CAG*: You do not have to figure it out alone.  ::Then teasingly::  That is what counselors are for.
Andy SO Ens Baker says:
::Looks up from her bowl of sauce covered meat balls, her lips and chin smeared with the red sauce.  She pauses to wipe her lips as the other replimat customer departs::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Finally locates the phaser range on his deck plans, and as the turbolift hasn't arrived yet, looks idly both directions down the corridor, folding his hands in front of himself and rocking back and forth from his heels to the balls of his feet::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Pauses for a second at a station directory and tries use the reflection to see who is behind him::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles a little in spite of himself::  CSO:  From what I hear on the lower decks, Counselors are toys that don't take batteries.  Not sure that you need me there.  Kinda creepy actually.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Makes her way down the corridor, and approaches the turbolift, pausing beside Damrok as she waits for it to arrive::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Glances to his side for a moment as someone approaches, then looks forward as the 'lift doors swish open, and motions courteously for the new arrival to move inside first::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CAG*:  Hmmm... given who walked away in paresis square... anyways, dinner is in about fifteen minutes.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#CEO: Got it.....I think. ::With her lower lip slightly bitten in concentration, she adjusts their course, being sure they won't run into any shallower rocks that might be hiding::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Looks at the next body, he states the name quietly before moving on, it was a good thing that Fong had been injured so many times and Kendal was familiar with the needed paperwork for crew killed in action::
Jeff says:
::Takes a sip of his raktagino as he passes Conor in the corridor, continuing along toward the turbolift::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Finishes with their purchase and waits for Senn to finish her talk with Hawk before joining her.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
*CSO*  Understood.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Nods and smiles:: CTO: Thank you, Commander.   ::Steps inside the turbolift::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Enters into a nearby turbolift just as he figures out where he's actually going, breathing a sigh of relief and pocketing the PADD before ordering the lift to his destination::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns toward Theron feeling a bit better.::  CNS:  I am ready when you are... and if we are lucky, I might have one brother to torment for dinner.
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Watches the bow of the ship turn from the islands and then past the rocks.::  CMO:  Nicely done.  Are you sure this is your first time?
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Steps out from the station directory and starts following someone::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Turns his head slightly, as he's not wearing his rank pins, but expected as much, anyway::  Light:  Of course, Commander.  ::Smiles cordially and enters the turbolift::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Slowly makes her way down the mountain, making sure not to look down to much as she goes, placing her foot carefully on the next spot::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles at Eris.::  CSO:  We’re ready to go.  I'm sure if he doesn't join us you'll never let him hear the end of it.  ::Chuckles as they move out of the shop::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Pffts a bit of air between her lips, but enjoying herself none the less:: CEO: All right...what do I do when it's time to stop?
Jeff says:
::Comes to a stop at the end of the corridor, waiting for a turbolift.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  You realize of course, if he does show, we will never hear the end of it either.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Stops behind Jeff:: Jeff: You are terrible at hiding you know that? No wonder they put you behind a desk.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Waits for the lift doors to close, then glances about the lift with her eyes closed::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO: Well we will drop the sail here in a moment.  Then either hit the engines to slow the rest of the way.  Or drop anchors and see what happens.  ::Smiles.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Asks the turbolift for the deck for the phaser range, and looks straight ahead at the doors, one hand on the railing::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Takes a moment to straighten himself out some, the lack of uniform making him feel even more out of sorts than usual, exiting the lift near the phaser range and trying to rub some bored weariness out of his face while waiting::
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Lays in the bio-bed 'resting'. Thinking of safer ways to electrocute Vroa.::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Opens her eyes and smiles broadly, turning to Damrok a moment and then---pauses. Her eyes narrow ever-so-slightly, and she quickly turns back to the front, waiting for the lift::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Shrugs his shoulders.::  CSO:  I know.  But think we can handle it.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::In a congenially small-talkish way::  Light:  Commander, are you stationed here, aboard the starbase?
Jeff says:
::Rolls his eyes:: XO: If I were hiding, you wouldn't be able to find me, now would you? Lot of good that'd do to a conducive conversation.  Now...I believe we have some things to discuss.
Andy SO Ens Baker says:
::Finishes the meatballs and considers going back for seconds, but she does not, simply recycling the dish as she stands and stretches, now slightly tired::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Chuckling, they head for their quarters.::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
Jeff: Why am I not surprised you are already out in this corner of the galaxy.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
CTO: Not here, actually. Currently on detachment to the Cataria. I understand the Claymore was quite instrumental to the defense of the station, though
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
@::Starts a full system diagnostics on the operations console::
Jeff says:
XO: I like to keep my hand on the pulse of the neighborhood, and 514 is the nearest major station from which to do so.   ::As the turbolift arrives, he steps within it::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Light:  Ah, I see.  ::Feels the turbolift begin to move horizontally::  We did what our duty required of us.  I believe the crew performed quite admirably.  ::Mutedly smiles::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Follows Jeff in and takes off his comm badge for a moment:: Jeff: The personal touch then.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sweat begins to drip down her face, as she leans her face over to her arm slightly and wipes it against her sleeve.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Moves to the end of the row, kneeling over another gold clad corpse, pausing to identify the man to the nurse and mummer a few words in his unhearing ears::
Jeff says:
XO: Of course. ::Removes his commbadge as well, then takes a small device from his pocket and flips the switch:: XO: You called?  ::Moves to the lift controls and manually programs a circuitous route into the lift, preventing it from stopping for anyone else, but otherwise imitating a standard trip for a lift::
Andy SCPO Zepix says:
::Arrives at the CSO's bedside, unphased by the woman's apparent sleep she speaks quietly:: Andy CSO: I got word that you were awake.  I've got casualty reports and sensor logs if you'd like to look at them ma'am.
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Smiles:: CTO: We always do, and I'm sure they did. I'd like to know if Claymore is in the neighborhood again. I believe general consensus is that we owe your crew a drink.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taking a breath she continues her climb, it had been so long since she had the time to do any rock climbing::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
Jeff: I need what you've got on our friends out here. It looks like some paper pushers are sitting on the good stuff. We're outgunned currently and I dislike fights that aren't tipped in my favor.
Jeff says:
XO: I don't know that guns are going to help you in this one. At least, not yet.   Listen, that's not my arena, so to say, but there are a few general bits I can share.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Politely nods once as the doors open::  Light:  I am sure there would be quite a few who would be interested in taking you up on that offer.  This is my stop...it was nice talking to you.  ::Moves out and toward the phaser range, already seeing Kytides::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Looks up and pays close attention::
Attaché Cmdr Light says:
::Nods and smiles, then steps back into the center of the lift and waits for it to continue its motion::
Jeff says:
XO: I know you're aware of their personal cloaking technology from the attack yesterday.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks and looks up, the sight of Damrok approaching out of the corner of his eye shaking him out of his thoughts::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
Jeff: All too well, I'm also aware stun is ineffective and close range high power shot makes them explode in a rather satisfying manner.
Jeff says:
XO: Yeah, glad you enjoyed that, but you have bigger problems. The Vroa also have DNA resequencing technology that permits them to takes the form of - well, presumably any other species. For now, we know for certain they can perfectly disguise themselves as several humanoid species of the Federation.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
Jeff: And judging by their tendency to disintegrate or ripping the arms off people who try intervene we haven't gotten that good a look to figure out how perfect perfectly is right?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Mister Kytides.  How is leave treating you?  ::Looks over his shoulder a moment, then turns back toward Kytides with a smile::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Shrugs noncommittally as Damrok turns back, uncomfortable at the reminder of leave::  CTO:  As always, Sir.
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Takes the PADD and begins scrolling through the sensor logs, knowing better then to ask how she knew that she was awake:: Zepix: Thank you senior chief.
Jeff says:
::Nods:: XO: We haven't found a way detect them yet, other than, generally, if someone along the lines of "The Federation is a disease that must be excised from the universe" and then explodes - decent chance that was a Vroa intruder.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Smiles somewhat, and presses his thumb to the door pad, opening the phaser range::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes her last step, taking her hands down, wiping the sweat from her head she looks up at the mountain side.::
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#CMO:  This looks good here.  Let the wheel go free and the boat will turn from the wind and slow enough to drop anchor.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods, smiling a bit:: CEO: All right.   ::Releases the wheel, but looks about for something else to hold for stability as the boat moves::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Sighs at the news:: Jeff: What do you need from me? Got a good way to catch them that doesn't involve explosions or disintegration?
Andy CEO LtJG McQuade says:
#::Watches as the bow drifts to the left and the boat slows.::  CMO:  Now press those two buttons.  ::Points to the controls near the wheel.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Dusting off her clothes, she looks around taking in the air::  Program end ::She says outloud, as the scenery fades, her bag lie on the deck behind her as she walks over and picks it up::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
@*OPS Kendal*: Sir, you wanted to know when the bridge station was online...
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Stands back to let Damrok in first, trying to clear the loose thoughts out of his head, happy at least that phaser practice usually did that well::
Jeff says:
::Shakes his head:: XO: Not yet, but I'm not particularly concerned right now.  We've taking other...roads, to dealing with the Vroa. You'd just do best to keep the Cataria off those roads. I do have something else you asked for.  ::Pulls a PADD from his pocket and holds it out to Conor::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Takes the PADD and glances it over::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Puts the bag over her shoulder and exits the holodeck::
Jeff says:
XO: Her service record. Without her name, of course. List of postings and dates is all I could untangled just yet, but there's more on the way.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Responds his voice slow as he speaks:: *OPS Cawney*: Thank you.  I will be forwarding you a list of confirmed enlisted deaths, please forward it to the Captain's yeoman to get her approval on next of kin confirmations.
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Jeff: Why do I feel like this one is going to end up costing me for a long time.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Sends the confirmed list to the Claymore's computer, then sags against the wall outside the morgue looking exhausted and defeated::
Jeff says:
XO: All I ask is the deal we made up front. Details of her behaviors, activities, actions, as well as anything suspicious. Anything that can help me track what she's up to.
Jeff says:
XO: Speaking of...your first bill is about due.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Making sure the program was off, she makes her way down the corridor toward the nearest turbolift::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
@::Receives the list and without looking at it forwards it to the Captain's Yeoman, to add to the top of her paperwork.::
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
Jeff: Well I'm pretty sure she spotted either you or someone else just now. She paused and got distracted by something or someone while we were in sickbay ::Too quick to figure out who though::
Jeff says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: XO: Well, that's interesting, at least. I made sure to stay well out of your sight, so it wasn't me she saw. It's a start...but we're going to need something more comprehensive. You have been taking notes, I hope.
Jeff says:
::Rests a hand on Conor's shoulder:: XO: Look, I know you think the Vroa are the threat here, but they're an outside threat. Even with the infiltrators, they'll always be on the outside. It's the inside threat we need to watch for. Those who know us - who seemingly are us - but would destroy everything we stand for.
Jeff says:
XO: Don't lose sight of that.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stepping into the turbolift.  She orders it to the appropriate deck for her quarters on the station:
Andy CSO LtJG Ivara says:
::Reads over the padd and flicks through the spotty records of the battles, she begins tapping out ideas on the side of the PADD as she reads:: Zepix: How did you do in the battle?
Andy XO Cmdr Conor says:
::Hands over a PADD:: Jeff: The results of a "routine" audit on comms traffic over the last while.
Andy SCPO Zepix says:
::Without missing a beat she replies calmly:: Andy CSO: Quite well ma'am.
Jeff says:
::Takes it:: XO: Any more, just drop them in the replicator in your VIP quarters.
