ACTD Wide - Their Final Hour - USS Claymore

Their Final Hour - Mission 10 - Conclusion - 11305.21

Summary:  The Claymore orbits Vulcan with a large fleet of medical and supply vessels.  The still smoldering cities can be seen from orbit.  The telltale sign that something horrific happened not too long ago.  Now the planet and its people recover, rebuild and help out those that survived.  The Claymore's work pods repair hull breeches, if only temporary, while inside the crews care for the wounded and make repairs to internal areas of the ship.

*********************** Resume Mission - Their Final Hour *******************************

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Eating a light lunch in the observation lounge while reading the most recent reports::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Inside the remains of her office, the debris removed and a new desk brought in.  In exhaustion she sleeps.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks out onto the bridge from her ready room, looks about the bridge before making her way to the center::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::On the flight deck, assisting with repairs.  More specifically, headfirst into a fighter engine compartment, trying to track down a tricky plasma leak.  Basically two legs sticking out from the side of a fighter::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Takes one last glance at the still unfinished bit of wood he was working on, then straightens his uniform out one last time before exiting his room and heading toward a turbolift::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes a seat in the command chair::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *CMO*: T'Shara to Raeyld.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Sitting in his office he puts down his pen and rubs his eyes.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up from her chair at the open space above, then looks back down at her console::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Marks a few tactical personnel who are due to be rotated out, then finishes his salad and carries his small tray to the replicator and recycles it, still reading his PADD::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CC: When does the next relief group head for the planet?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Makes his way back through to the bridge::
D’Kar says:
::With Kurt, the pair work on the science console.  While over it all it had withstood the battle, everything about it seemed to bother their chief.::::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks up from her PADD:: *CO*: Raeyld here, Captain.
CC LtJG Agraktis says:
CO:  The next scheduled round of retrieval and departure is set for oh-eight-thirty.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Enters the turbolift and makes a few extra rubs at his eyes as it closes::  Lift:  Bridge.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CMO*: What's medical's status?

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Walks up toward the captain, giving a nod to Agraktis at mission operations -- the fellow is operating well outside his normal parameters, but is doing a good job...contemplates the open billet at mission operations at the moment, and takes a note on his PADD::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Setting down his padd he brings up his computer and brings up a search.  Finding what he wants he flips off the screen and heads out of his officer.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Raises a breath:: *CO*: Proceeding, Captain. Sickbay itself is in good shape, and all of the science department has been discharged. We're rotating down medteams to assist with the relief efforts on the surface.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CC: Thank you Lieutenant.  Let me know when they are ready to depart I plan on joining them.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances up at Damrok::  CTO: Commander.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the bridge, noting the scarcity of senior officers with a quick glance before moving over to tactical and sending a questioning nod to Damrok::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Reaching his destination he steps into the main science lab looking for Eris.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CMO*: Excellent Doctor.  Are you busy at the moment?
CC LtJG Agraktis says:
CO:  Underssstood, Captain.  ::Seems to be a bit self-conscious (he's notably muted his typical speech patterns since he's been regularly attending the bridge over the last week) but his efficiency has not suffered for it::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CO*: Not especially. Paperwork will keep.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Captain.  ::Nods a moment, then looks to Kytides::  TO:  Lieutenant, if the captain is going to the planet, I'm going to assign her a private security detail.  You'll lead it.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Take two others.  ::Glances to his PADD::  Roberge is due to be rotated back in.  He would be a good choice.  The other is at your discretion.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks, turning away from Tactical and nodding again, this time in affirmation::  CTO:  Yes Sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CMO*: Meet me in the shuttlebay in 10 minutes.  T'Shara out.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Seeing very little in the main lab he steps through to Eris' office and since the door was no longer there he stepped inside to find Eris asleep at her desk stacks of padds surrounding her.::
Kurt says:
D'Kar:  That is it.  I think the majority of the problem is in her head... and probably will be for a while.  Not that I blame her.  ::With a sigh he puts his tools back into his kit and waits for D'Kar to join him.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Any instructions, Captain?  ::Folds his hands behind his back and stands at a respectful attention::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: You have the bridge Commander.  Let me know if you hear anything from Vulcan Command or Starfleet.  We'll contact you once we are on the planet.  ::Stands from her chair::
D’Kar says:
::Silently agreeing he contacts Sean to work on the software, they were heading out to the auxiliary lab.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Understood.  Good luck to you.  ::Nods once, inferring the reason for her departure::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Stirs slightly as she mentally seeks to avoid the nightmare she keeps having.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods, giving Damrok a glance pausing next to him before heading to the turbolift::  CTO: Thank you Commander.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Stepping quietly across the office he reaches over and lightly reaches out and squeezes Eris' shoulder.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Thinks for a moment before tapping his commbadge::  *ASC/TO2*:  Roberge, Senezem.  Prepare for an away mission and meet at shuttlebay immediately after.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Approaches the doors of the shuttlebay and pauses, before finally stepping through::
ASC CPO Roberge says:
::Sits up at his post in the armory and immediately is off toward the doors and the turbolift::  *TO*:  Understood, Sir.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Settles into the center chair, continuing to modify his crew rotations::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sits up suddenly unconsciously grabbing Theron's wrist as if he were the enemy, his greater strength the only thing keeping him from being flung across her desk::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Follows the Captain into the turbolift at a quick pace::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps into the turbolift, once Kytides is inside::  TL: Shuttlebay
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: So Mr. Kytides how are you holding up?
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Starts, then grins and sets off toward the nearest turbolift::  *TO*:  Yes Sir.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Jumping as Eris grabs his wrist he stumbles slightly as she tries to throw him.::  CSO:  Easy now it's just me.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Walks into the shuttle bay, and not seeing the Captain anywhere, merely finds a shuttle to lean against that gives her a good view of the door::
ASC CPO Roberge says:
::Arrives in the shuttlebay, looking around to try to figure out which craft has been brought to standby as he checks the setting on his hand phaser::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks, mildly uncomfortable even if that's the only sign::  CO:  Well enough, Captain.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Her fingers practically crushing his wrist, she returns to her surroundings... and is quickly reminded what had happened.  She slumps to the back of her chair and looks up.  Realizing she has his wrist in a lock, she lets go:: CNS:  Sorry.
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Exits the lift at a quick clip, eagerness showing a bit too much as he nearly fumbles his phaser to the ground checking it, and then spots Roberge and moves over to him::
ASC CPO Roberge says:
TO2:  Looks like Jarrow.  ::Doesn't quite manage to stifle a smile -- he's heard about the thing but has never been near it before::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Reaches over and rubs his wrist.::  CSO:  It's ok.  It’s understandable.  I just thought there were probably better places you could be sleeping, you haven't been back to our quarters much recently this past week.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: I am glad to hear it.  I know most of the crew on the bridge were thrown around alot during the Vroa battle.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The turbolift doors open and she steps out waiting on Kytides:
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Rubbing her hands across her face she leans her head back against the chair with a sigh::  CNS:  There is so much... too much...
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Nods, slightly more at ease with the new, more exact conversation line as he follows out after the Captain::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Leans against her desk looking down at her, he respond quietly.::  CSO:  I know, and I understand you want to be here for it all but you really should get some rest, somewhere other than at your desk.
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Does an even worse job hiding his own grin, mostly concentrating on keeping from rubbing his hands together in glee at finally getting a chance away from the ship::
ASC CPO Roberge says:
::Folds his arms and waits::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Proceeds down the hall and into the shuttlebay::  TO: Good work during the battle Lieutenant.  ::Notices the others and walks over to the Jarrow.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Shakes her head::  CNS:  Somehow... it just does not seem right.  The last of my people went home last night.  But I keep thinking, three never will.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO/TO/CPO/TO2: Shall we.  ::Motions for everyone to get onboard::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Begins writing a report recommending Kytides and Hawk for some sort of merit after their excellent work developing a method to stop the Vroa torpedoes...the engagement could've taken a wrong turn very quickly were it not for Kytides' ingenuity and the execution of the fighter squadrons::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks at the others as they enter, then follows them onto the Jarrow::
ASC CPO Roberge says:
::Taps the button for the hatch and climbs aboard, looking around at the interior with a growing smile::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Checks her tricorder and phaser on her side and enters the shuttle::
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Follows in after Roberge, glee turning a bit nauseating now after realizing the mission was with the captain, but mostly continues to look on the bright side::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Finishes his missive and wrings a deep sigh out of his lungs...folds his right leg over his left, and leans back in the chair, rather appreciative of a quiet moment::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances about the craft, takes in the others, then goes ahead and takes a seat near the front::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Nods to the captain and heads in after the other two tactical officers, moving to the side for a moment for a quick belated check of his phaser::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Finishes up with the fighter he was working on, then begins diagnostics on the next in line for repair::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Stays silent for a moment, wondering if she was ready to talk about this yet.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes the helm::  All: All ready?
TO1 Lt Kingston says:
::Finishes up and locks the secondary tactical console, moving over to primary to continue the bookwork she's been after all morning...most of the tactical department is in disarray to get as many crew on the planet engaged in relief as possible, but some of them are getting rather burnt::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Closes the Jarrow's hatch and begins launch procedures::  *Bridge*: This is the Jarrow requesting clearance for departure.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Covering a yawn, she stands::  CNS:  I need something strong to drink.  ::Starts to leave her office.::  What time is it anyways?
ASC CPO Roberge says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Has a seat at the operations console::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Ready.  ::Although with the slightest question to her voice, since she's not entirely sure what it is she's supposed to be ready for::
CC LtJG Agraktis says:
*CO*:  Jarrow cleared for departure, Captain.  ::Transfers the egress heading::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Guessing that probably meant she wasn't ready to talk yet he follows her out of her office.:: CSO:  Morning sometime, alpha shift just started.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Quickly slips into the tactical chair, feeling mildly uncomfortable doing so::  CO:  Aye, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*Bridge*: Acknowledged Jarrow departing from shuttlebay one.  ::Closes the channel::
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Moves into the nearest empty chair, nodding since he isn't sure his voice won't give away either glee or fright::

ACTION: The Jarrow lifts off from the shuttle bay deck and slips out through the large damaged shuttle bay doors.   The Jarrow flies past the Claymore's nacelles and drops down for planetary approach to Vulcan.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Shakes her head and wryly asks::  CNS:  What happened to yesterday?  ::Taking the lift she waits for it to close behind Theron before ordering it to the arboretum.::

ACTION:  The Jarrow enters the Vulcan atmosphere and quickly descends closer to the planet’s surface.  ETA to destination 2 minutes.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Reaches over takes her hand as the doors close.:: CSO:  How long have you been holed up in your office?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sits back in her seat, watching as the Jarrow descends, holding back her questions for now::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Prepare for landing.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Frowns as she considers::  CNS:  Ummm...  ummmm... the last time I saw you?

@ACTION:  The Jarrow sweeps past a small clearing before banking to port.  The aft section of the Jarrow spins around gently as the Jarrow makes a perfect 3 point landing in the middle of the clearing.  Vulcan onlookers and Starfleet support look on as the ship barely kicks up any dust on landing.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Looks at her.:: CSO: That was three days ago.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Just looks at him and shakes her head.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Powers down the Jarrow, opens the doors and stands from her chair::  All: Shall we.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off and walks into the arboretum binging him along with her.  She looks around and sighs in relief.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Make sure you all have tricorders
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Takes a look around the arboretum.:: CSO:  Least this fared well.
ASC CPO Roberge says:
@::Opens a nearby locker and gets out a tricorder, holstering it on his left side::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Walks over to the open hatch and turns to see if the others are ready::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Pulls her tricorder from her waist, bag still over her shoulder, as she stands up, following T'Shara to the hatch.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
@::Stands after Roberge to grab a tricorder as well, checking it over before putting it in its spot::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks off::  CNS:  I am not sure I could have handled it had it not.  ::With a sigh she heads for the replicator and orders and extra strong ractajino.::  CNS:  Want one?
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
@::Releases a quick not-very-calming breath as he mirrors the other two::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Shakes his head.::  CSO:  No thanks, never been a fan.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Exits the Jarrow and looks around::
ASC CPO Roberge says:
@::Looks to Senezem and nods once, standing last in line as the captain exits::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks down at the drink::  CNS:  Me neither.  ::Taking a drink she heads for the back and the waterfall::  Any objection to a nap here?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Opens her tricorder, and tries her first question:: CO: What should we be scanning for, Captain?
TO LtJG Kytides says:
@::Follows out of the shuttle, unable to hide a small grimace after exiting::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Follows her toward the waterfall.::  CSO:  None what so ever.
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
@::Glances to Roberge and returns the nod, surprised at not being last out, and leaves the Jarrow as well::

@ACTION:  The small crater 1/2km from the Jarrow shows a small crater burned into the Vulcan ground.  This location would be the exact location of the Captain's Parents home...

ASC CPO Roberge says:
@::Secures the craft as Senezem gets out, then turns and falls in with the captain::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Smiling she sits down against her favorite rock::  CNS:  I would think your calendar is booked forever.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Sits down next to her wrapping his arm around her shoulder.::  CSO:  It has been pretty busy, how do you think I went three days without checking in on  you.  ::Smiles.::  I gave myself a break today, don't have an appointment till this evening.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Pulls out her tricorder and begins scanning the area as she walks, she stops without warning as she sees the crater that is now where her parents’ house use to be::  CMO: We're here trying to see if there are any survivors from this area.  First and foremost my parents.  ::She gives Raeyld a slight glance over the shoulder and then goes back to scanning moving closer to the crater.

@ACTION:  Several Vulcans begin to walk towards the Starfleet Officers.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Nods slightly, swallowing hard as an expression of guilt flickers across her face...though she lowers it to take a very thorough tricorder reading::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Snuggles against him.::  CNS:  Works for me.  ::Sighs:: and I am sorry.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  Its ok, I do understand and you know I'm here when you are ready to talk.
ASC CPO Roberge says:
@::On guard, reaches for his phaser, but doesn't draw yet::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CC:  Has the captain's party landed safely?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Talk... what is there to talk about?  My department has been devastated, though I will be getting all new upgrades.  But how do you replace lives?  And the trauma some of my people are dealing with?  ::Shakes her head as she puts the cup aside and slips an arm around him to lean closer, wrapping herself around him.::
CC LtJG Agraktis says:
CTO:  Aye, Sssir...they are on the planet'ss ssurface.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Pauses as she notices several Vulcan nearing them.  Puts her hand up slightly to Roberge to stand down::  ::Puts up her hand in the Vulcan hand sign::  Vulcans: Greetings I am Captain T'Shara of the USS Claymore.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Stands in her place, just beside and behind T'Shara, and simply nods in respect::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods once and lays his PADD in his lap, relaxed, but still a bit sore::
Vulcan says:
@::Returns the hand sign.::  CO: Greetings Captain T'Shara.  How can we be of service?
ASC CPO Roberge says:
@::Stands straight, but still tensed::
