********************* Resume Mission ***********************
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::On the flight deck, observing preparations for the event::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::steps in front of the mirror and straightens her dress uniform once again before nodding and heading towards the flight deck::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Checks his appearance in the mirror, grimacing at his dislike of dress uniforms.  With a sigh, turns and heads for the flight deck.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::approaches Damrok, taking up a position to his right::  XO: I hate this damn uniform. ::pulls at the collar::
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::In his and Eris quarter tugging on his uniform trying in vain to make it fit more comfortably.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Straightens her dress jacket, the doors to the lift open as she exits the lift toward the flight deck.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CEO:  Oh?  That seems to be a common opinion.  ::Turns to face him more directly::  Other than the uniform, how are you?
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Shrugs, knowing it was a losing battle he headed for the door, wondering what project Eris was in the middle of and if she would make it to the flight deck on time.::
OPS_LtJG_Kendal says:
::looks around the flight deck, a small hover cart close by with a clear podium resting on it. The podium is embossed with the Starfleet seal and has a discrete audio pickup. Also resting on the cart is a box. The box is made of a richly grained dark wood, the clasps are patina-ed bronze and the thumbprint scanner is neatly hidden under a latch.::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Enters the flight deck, then sighs.  It was going to take hours to clean up after this.  Shrugged.  Oh well, that was why he appointed a Deputy CAG::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  XO: Settling back in--to an adult-sized body and everything else, too. How about life in the lofty ranks of command?
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::steps into the flight deck and makes her way towards the other senior staff::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CEO:  Adapting.  I always find that trying to find personal time and space after being engaged in such a lengthy mission is...rather difficult.  There's always the nagging feeling that something is left undone.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Enters the flight deck, pausing to look around::
OPS_LtJG_Kendal says:
::spots the captain, and falls in behind her, the grav cart following the control in his left hand.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Traces a finger along the inside of her collar once, double-checking the fit, before she steps through the doors into the crowded flight deck, and looks for an inconspicuous corner to disappear into::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
XO: Or the persistent reality that your stay will be a short one, and you'll be slogging through some godforsaken rat hole at a moment's notice.  ::shrugs::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Hears footsteps behind her and turns.::  CMO: Doctor.  How are you doing?
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Heads out the door calling into the back room as he went.::  Gladwyn:  I'm off to our meeting. You have fun here. We'll see ya when it’s all done and we can head over to the station.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps to the side a bit to let Kendal by.::  OPS: Lieutenant.  ::nods::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CEO:  And that, too.  ::Smiles, albeit slightly sourly::  Hadn't thought of that one, yet.
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::notices Raeyld and starts to make her way over slowly::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::gazes out for a moment across the flight deck, taking in the milling about of officers and crew::  XO: You know, it's kind of amazing we're all still here, really. All things considered, we've had a decent run.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Winces ever so slightly as she hears T'Shara's voice, and figures that inconspicuous corners don't exist if you walk in right beside the Captain.  Shakes her head slightly and smiles a bit as she turns around:: CO: Evening, Captain.  ::Notices Stevens approaching, and nods to her as well:: MO: Doctor.
OPS_LtJG_Kendal says:
::notes the captain was apparently letting him pass, despite the fact that he was bringing the podium to her. He shrugged slightly, the uniform bunching somewhat, then handed her the remote:: CO: The requested items are there. ::motions to the box:: CO: Music cues are pre-fed into the computer if you want them. The cart is set to follow mode.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks in the same direction, scanning faces, thinking about the last year or so::  CEO:  We have, at that.  I hope we've done some good.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Stevens::  MO: Doctor.
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::nods to both T'Shara and Raeyld:: CO/CMO: Captain, Doctor. Good to see you both.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::waves her hand::  OPS: Oh, I am sorry, please continue.  We will move this to the front.  I thought I was in your way, Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO/MO: Good to see you both as well.
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Steps into the lift and orders it to the flight deck.::  *CSO*:  Are you going to make it to our meeting Eris, captain may not like it if you skip out.  ::Smiles.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Follow's T'Shara's interaction with Kendal a moment, noting that something's about to begin, and nods slightly to Kendal, her mind already flashing forward toward their upcoming "field trip."::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
XO: Perhaps in our neck of the woods...I don't know if we've done good to this old boat.  ::drives heel to the deck to reference Claymore::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CO/CMO: If you will excuse me, I had better get this started.  Please enjoy yourselves we will talk more later.
OPS_LtJG_Kendal says:
::nods slightly once more:: CO: By your command, ma'am. ::steps back and moves towards the rank and file of engineering and operations, his duty done.::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::salutes T'Shara as she leaves::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: looks up from her work and glances over at the chronometer::  *CNS*: Hmmm... you want me to break a good habit?  :: quickly shuts the station down.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the remote and moves toward the front; as she passes Damrok, she motions for him to join her.  She nods to Davis as she passes.::  CEO: Commander.
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Steps off the lift and walks down the corridor.::  *CSO*:  Maybe just this once.  ::Grins as he steps into the flight deck finding a spot near the back wall.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods:: CO: Captain.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Allows a chuckle::  CEO:  I don't think there are any parts aboard that will ever reach the end of their projected service life.
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Dashing out the door, she grabs her tricorder and heads for the lift, muttering under her breath::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CEO:  I'll talk with you more later, I hope.  ::Nods once and moves to follow T'Shara::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::smiles a little, Damrok's remark diffusing the inevitable tension he feels when T'Shara is around; he starts to reply but Damrok prepares to move off::  XO: Okay.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stops at the front and with a touch of a few buttons on the control positions the podium accordingly.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles a bit at Stevens, and gestures for them to move more toward the periphery of the room...but far enough forward to see what's happening::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Stepping off the lift, she slips onto the flight deck and moves along the back wall.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes up a position beside T'Shara and looks over the table near them::
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Grins as he spots Eris, he steps over to her,::  CSO:   You made it.
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Finding Theron, she slumps against the wall and takes a breath:: CNS: Unfortunately.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::wanders off towards the other operations and engineering crew members::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: After a moment, she straightens up and leans over to give him a on the check::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands behind the podium.::  Outloud: Good evening.  First I would like to thank you all for your hard work over the past year.  Things have not always been easy.  But, we have managed to persevere through the toughest of times.
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
CSO:  It probably won't be that bad, and I'm sure you can find an excuse to leave soon enough.  ::Slips his arm around her waist and turns towards the captain.::
OPS_LtJG_Kendal says:
::pulls a palm-sized PADD from a pocket, and checks the ship status before pocketing it again and straightening::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: I want to let everyone know that I've heard from Admiral Cosgrave, and with our success on Thienya II, Starfleet has decided to drop all prior inquiries on our previous mission.
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: relaxing against him, she simply listens looking forward to later plans.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: That being said, they have ordered us to remain here while they look over the latest rounds of data gathered.  They will be giving us a priority list of planets to attempt first contact at some point.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Folds his hands behind his back, idly wondering what remarks he would have prepared if called upon...and decides that they probably wouldn't have been any good given his current level of exhaustion::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: Daimon Britec has also offered his sincere thanks and gratitude to the Claymore and her crew.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leans slightly against the wall to her right, arms crossed relaxedly, as she pays rapt attention to the Captain::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: I will now pass the podium over to Lieutenant Commander Damrok.  ::steps aside, folding her arms behind her back.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods and moves to the podium::  CO:  Thank you, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Smiles as he looks out over the crew, even if there is a bit of weariness to be detected in him::  All:  Starfleet has seen fit to award certain members of our fine staff for their recent participation in several missions.  When I call you, please come forward.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
MO:  Ensign Kaylee Ann Stevens.
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::snaps to attention and walks towards the podium::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles warmly as she watches Stevens depart::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
MO:  For distinguished duty to ship and crew while helping the inhabitants of Thienya II, you are awarded with this Captain's Letter of Commendation.  ::Hands her the small plaque, then passes the emblem to T'Shara to award::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::takes the plaque from Damrok and salutes before turning to T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the award from Lieutenant Commander Damrok, steps forward and pins the medal onto Ensign Stevens uniform.::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::Salutes T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Extends her right hand to Stevens::  MO: Congratulations, Ensign.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Returns the salute, then returns to the podium::  CSO:  Commander Senn Eris.
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Looks up at Theron before she leaves the comfort of his arm and moves to the front::
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Grins at Senn and stands up straight as she steps away.::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::takes T'Shara's hand:: CO: Thank you, Captain
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Smiles as his sister moves to the front::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Coming to the front, she nods at Damrok::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CSO:  For distinguished duty to ship and crew while helping the inhabitants of Thienya II, you are awarded with this Admiral's Letter of Commendation.  ::Smiles to her::  Congratulations.  ::Hands her the plaque, then passes the emblem to the captain::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Nods her thanks to both officers, shakes the captains hand, and quickly makes her way back.::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::steps off to the side::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the award from Lieutenant Commander Damrok, steps forward and pins the medal onto Commander Senn's uniform.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CMO:  Commander Serena Raeyld.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Shakes Senn's hand::  CSO: Congratulations, Commander.
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: place CSO after::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pats Stevens on the shoulder as she moves aside, actually completely missing the calling of her name for a few seconds, before something sort of clicks in her mind, and she blinks, ducking her head ever-so-slightly as she steps forward through the crowd and approaches Damrok and Raeyld::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CMO:  For distinguished duty to ship and crew while helping the inhabitants of Thienya II, you are awarded with this Admiral's Letter of Commendation.  ::Hands her the plaque with a smile::  Congratulations.  ::Passes the emblem to T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the award from Lieutenant Commander Damrok, steps forward and pins the medal onto Commander Raeyld's uniform.::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: smiles at her brother as she passes and slips back next to Theron::
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Smiles at Eris and wraps his arm back around her waist.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Accepts the plaque as the medal is pinned on before she can even raise a breath, and it's done in a blink...what in the world...??::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Offers her hand::  CMO: Congratulations, Doctor.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reflexively takes T'Shara's hand and shakes it, opting not to make a scene, and manages a somewhat confused smile, then quickly extricates herself back toward her position beside Stevens::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CAG:  Captain Sky Hawk.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Smiles slightly at Raeyld knowing how uncomfortable she was::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Straightens and moves to the front::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CAG:  For distinguished duty to ship and crew while helping the inhabitants of Thienya II, you are awarded with this Admiral's Letter of Commendation.  ::Presents the plaque to him with his left hand::  Congratulations.  ::Extends his right hand for a handshake::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Shakes the XO's hand::  XO:  Thank you, sir.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the award from Lieutenant Commander Damrok, steps forward and pins the medal onto Captain Hawk's uniform.::

CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Shakes the Captain's hand with a smile, then turns and heads back::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps back slightly::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Returns to the podium and slides the next stack of small boxes over slightly, in order::  All:  Thank you all for your efforts in the Thienya system.  I sincerely mean it.  While we were in the Arc Project, it was...one of the most trying times of my life, and each of you conducted yourselves with great composure and responsibility to ensure a successful completion to our mission.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::After a few beats, smiles::  All:  But that is not quite the end of our overall mission, and I hope that each of you will continue to pursue your duties with the same dedication to the ideals of Starfleet and the Federation as you have demonstrated throughout these long months.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Smiles yet a bit more broadly::  All:  Nor yet is that quite the end of our presentation.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CNS:  Lieutenant Theron Foster, please come forward.  ::Hands a small box to T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the small box and holds it in her left hand.  Nods to Damrok::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: smiles... at last. ::
CNS_Lt_Foster says:
::Stands taking his arm from around Eris and looks at her before moving toward the front, stepping up in front of the captain and commander.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps forward a little::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
All:  On this stardate, 11701.10, Theron Foster is duly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, with all rights and privileges thereof.  ::Starts up a round of applause::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::Smiles and claps::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::claps, though he's still trying to figure out exactly what those rights and privileges are::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps up to Foster; opening the box, she removes the black pip and places it on his collar.  Closing the box, she hands it to the counselor.::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::claps for Theron::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Extends her hand::  CNS: Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Stands somewhat stunned before coming out of it and taking the box from the captain.::  CO:  Thank you captain.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CNS:  Congratulations.  ::As the applause dies down, returns to the podium and looks over the assembled crew::

XO:  Thank you, Commander.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Turns and heads back to his place next to Eris.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Smiles once more::  MO:  Ensign Kaylee Ann Stevens, please come forward.
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: slips her arms around him for a hug::  CNS:  Congrats.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles even more widely::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Gives Eris a kiss on the cheek, grinning.::  CSO:  Thanks.
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::Looks around in shock for a moment before going back up to the podium::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Passes the box to the captain::  All:  On this stardate, 11701.10, Kaylee Ann Stevens is duly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade, with all rights and privileges thereof.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the next box from Damrok::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Applauds as Stevens arrives in position to receive the pip::
MO_Ens_Stevens says:
::steps up to T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps up to Stevens, opening the box she removes the black pip and places it on her collar.  Closing the box she hands it to the Doctor.::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: glances at the time, hoping she accounted for everything.::
MO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::takes the box and salutes T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Extending her hand::  MO: Congratulations, Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Salutes back::
MO_LtJG_Stevens says:
CO: Thank you, Captain
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
MO:  Congratulations, Doctor.  ::Smiles::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Sees Eris check the time.:: CSO:  Wondering how soon you can sneak away?  ::Grins.  Turning back toward the front.  Clapping for Lt. Stevens.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Claps her hands and nods::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Clapping, then leans over quietly::  CNS:  Yes, and no.  I do not want us to be late.
MO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::returns to Raeyld's side::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
All:  Thank you very much, everyone.  Please stay to share in our reception -- but before we dismiss you, I will return the podium to Captain T'Shara.  ::Steps aside again, allowing the captain to return to the podium::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
::A look of surprise flashes on his face for just a moment, then is quickly masked with a polite smile..::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reaches an arm around behind Stevens, sharing a very brief hug, before turning to pay rapt attention to T'Shara once more::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps up to the podium::  XO: Thank you, Lieutenant Commander.  All: I have one final piece of business.  ::Pulls out a PADD::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CSO:  Late?
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Looks up and just smiles before looking back at the captain::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Arches his right eyebrow ever-so-slightly, as there was no "one final piece of business" on his copy of the agenda::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Lieutenant Commander Aalet Damrok, please step forward.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Twitches, almost imperceptibly, and after a moment, his brain finally gets into gear and he takes the few steps forward to turn and present himself to the captain::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Lieutenant Commander it has come to my attention that over the course of your duties as Lieutenant Commander you have willfully followed Starfleet and Federation directives.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: You have selfishly put the ship and crew before anything else.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: You have continued to act unbecomingly as a Lieutenant Commander in Starfleet
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Looks at Eris curious as to what she was talking about, before turning his attention back to the captain.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Steps forward and removes Damrok's black pip::  XO: It is therefore the opinion of the Admiralty and myself that you be promoted to Commander and may god have mercy on your soul.  ::Pins a gold pip onto his collar.::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: just smiles, enjoying Theron's look::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Extends her hand::  XO: Congratulations, Commander.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::After a moment, manages a small smile, and speaks quietly::  CO:  ...Thank you, Captain.  ::Shakes her hand::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods and smiles slightly::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: I'd also like to present this Distinguished Service Medal to Commander Damrok for selflessly protecting the values of the Federation during the safeguarding of ship, crew, and all inhabitants of Thienya II.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Pins the new medal on his uniform::  XO: Again, congratulations Commander.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Again, appears slightly staggered, and his response is muted, as a consequence::  CO:  Thank you, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Again, nods::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: Slips her hand into Theron's ready to dash out the door, but trying really hard not to be too impolite... she respected Damrok::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Quietly:: MO: Congratulations, Doctor Stevens. Excellent work.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: With that, I would like to thank you all and enjoy the rest of your evening.  Shoreleave starts immediately.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Stands to the side...he lifts the medal slightly to look at it a moment, once he's out of the way, then lets it go...it felt heavy on his uniform, but maybe that was just his insides churning away::
CSO_Cmdr_Senn says:
:: On the word immediately, she was turning to head out.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Gently clasps Stevens upper arm:: MO: C'mon, let's go celebrate.  ::Smiles twinklishly::
