Absent:

Last time on the Scimitar: Having successfully completed their objective in preventing Section 31's plans with the new Romulan Senate, the Praetor allows the crew to return to their own ship. Having been given use of a Romulan garbage scow, they return to the Scimitar with new mission orders.

Their orders are to report to Babel, deep in Federation space. There they will pick up Captain Rome, who is en route from Earth. The Garbage scow docked with the Scimitar half an hour earlier, and the crew are all ordered 3 days leave to relax and get their affairs in order.

	Begin mission: "Safari" - Part 1	

ACTION: The crew of the Garbage scow have returned to the Scimitar via docking ports.
 
<Ens Vettel>
::at the bridge, having noticed the Romulan scow safely docked, he turns his attention to the remaining away teams::
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::steps out of the shower with an exhausted sigh, taking a minute to dry off before getting dressed::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::enters sickbay after having had a quick shower::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::in her quarters, having just barely got rid of the stench. She straightens her pristine uniform and heads to the bridge::
 
<TO_T'Pag>
Vettel: Lieutenant, my security forces report that they are ready to transport back up to the ship.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
MO: Doc?
 
<FCO_Vasquez>
Vettel: Course laid in for Babel, sir. ETA 14 days at warp 8.
 
<Vettel>
TO: Our orders are to leave as soon as we can. LEt the transporter chief know he can beam them up.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale>
::peeks out from his officer:: ACO: Captain. Welcome back.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::finishes getting dressed and leaves her quarters, headed for a turbolift:: TL: Sickbay.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
MO: Good to be here. I have never been so happy to be in Sickbay.
 
<TO_T'Pag>
Vettel: Yes sir. I will inform him.
 
<Vettel>
FCO: Thank you. ::taps his badge:: *ACO*: Vettel to Idrani.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale>
ACO: Captain, I believe this is the first time you've ever come to see me outside of your quarterly physical. ::smiles and leads him to a biobed:: What can I do for you?
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::taps his badge:: *Vettel*: Vettel. Good to hear you.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::steps onto the Bridge, having managed to shower, shave and put on a fresh uniform::
 
<Vettel>
*ACO*: You as well Captain. We are ready to depart, our ETA to Babel is 14 days.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::steps off the turbolift, slowly walking into sickbay::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
*Vettel*: Very well, take us out but 14 days is far too long.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale>
::picks up a medical tricorder and starts to scan the Captain::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::sits on a biobed for the Doctor to examine him:: AXO: Sara.
 
<Vettel>
*ACO*: Woud you prefer to go at maximum warp?
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale>
::looks up as the AXO enters:: All: I should order cake.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale>
::waves a nurse over to assist::
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale>
AXO: Can I help you, ma'am?
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
*Vettel*: Yes, go ahead. I am used to the warp of a garbage scow I almost forgot we could go that fast. Engage at once.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::smiles, first at Thalev, then at Dr. Vale:: MO: Don't worry, not a patient; just checking on the crew; last act as Acting XO and all. ::grins::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::arrives at the bridge and notices Vettel taking care of things. She wonders how well he has been managing things. Then she notices the CEO:: CEO: I hope we got rid of most of that smell.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
::smiles:: AXO: Feel free to inspect at will. ::continues his scans of Idrani::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::turns his chair around and shakes his head at her:: OPS: It's still stuck in my nostrils to be honest.
 
<Vettel>
*ACO*: Aye Captain. As a rough calculation we should arrive there in 5 days at warp 9.6. Oh and Captain, I wish you a speedy recovery.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::nods and goes to see Bob while Vale checks Idrani::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::approaches the OPS console:: CEO: I suspect it is mostly in our heads. But I suppose the others will be the bet judges.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
AXO: I thought you'd be on the bridge.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::chuckles:: OPS: Engineering reports ready for maximum warp. We can sustain warp 9.6 for five days...this old gal is ready to stretch her nacelles again.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
MO: Fracture to temporal bone. Or so they said.
 
<Vettel>
OPS/CEO: Commander, Lt. It is good to see you again. We are almost ready to depart to Babel, there is only one team missing.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
::clears his throat as he studies the scans:: ACO: So I see, please lie down, I want to use the imager, see what we're dealing with.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
ACO: We've been ordered to take a small leave.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: The gal and her nacelles are in good hands. Vettel/CEO: I'll bring in the last team.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: You too, Lieutenant. I hope things ran smoothly while we were...with the flu? ::winks::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
MO: Thank you. ::lies down and closes his eyes, the voices around him sounding richer:: AXO: I'm hoping that's the last big order I have to give before Jonathan takes over again.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::nods to Saprin::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::taps her console and transports the remaining away team from the planet:: FCO: We can depart when you are ready Mr. Vasquez.
 
<Vettel>
CEO: They did. Jerovim was surprisingly calm during this time. But I have to say, I could do with some off duty time.
 
ACTION: The last away teams are transported up from Jevorim.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: We need you up here a little while longer, Lieutenant. I suspect your boss needs some sleep at some point...those Vulcan genes though, who knows. ::turns back to his console::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
*Vettel*: Thank you, and fantastic job while we were away. There's a bottle of whisky coming your way.
 
<Vettel>
::approaches the CEO:: CEO: No, I don't think she sleeps at all. How was ... flu-land? Part of me wishes I had been sick too.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::moves over to Idrani's biobed, leaning against it casually:: ACO: Are you gonna miss it?
 
<Vettel>
*ACO*: I was just doing my job, but I won't say no to that bottle.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: It was....horrible. But we succeeded. That's all that matters.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
::brings up a 3D image of the temporal bone:: ACO: Ouch.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::opens his eyes to see Sara in her tank top:: AXO: Not even a little bit, but part of me thinks the mission was extraordinarily difficult. MO: Well said, Doctor. So, can you fix it?
 
<Vettel>
::nods:: CEO: Our next mission should be interesting as well. They didn't want to share it with us until we are out of eavesdrop of the Romulans.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
ACO: Oops, sorry sir. I sometimes forget people can hear me. ::turns around and picks up a hypospray and adjust the right dosage::
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::frowns at the image of Thalev's skull:: ACO: Yeah. I have to imagine saving entire empires is only a yearly event.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::lets out a chuckle at the MO then turns back facing at the ceiling and closes his eyes:: AXO: How about you? Will you miss being the executive officer?
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
::applies the hypo to Idrani's neck:: ACO: This should take care of the swelling, also I'm prescribing some antibiotics. You should recover in a few days time, the bones are setting nicely but you have a slight infection.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: Really? What do you know?
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
MO: Thank you Doctor, anything to relieve the ache.
 
<Vettel>
CEO: Only what I told you. We are to report to Babel and we will know our mission when we arrive. I imagine Captain Rome will know.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::tilts her head from side to side:: ACO: It wasn't bad, but I'd much rather just fly ships.
 
ACTION: A young Andorian nurse comes over with a small satchel containing Idrani's medicine
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: It will be good to see him. ::starts up the warp core::
 
<FCO_Vasquez>
Vettel: We're ready to depart, sir, just as soon as we undock with the scow.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::smiles at the nurse::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
FCO/CEO: The Jevorim report they will keep the scow. I will detach it. ::begins automated undocking procedures::
 
<FCO_Vasquez>
Vettel: Scow detached; we're ready for warp.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
AXO: Well I don't want to be the one doing it next year, Someone else’s turn.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
ACO: We can make Rome and Vettel go on the adventure while we play on the holodeck.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
ACO: Take these injections once every day, with food for four days. Come to me if there are any complications.
 
<FCO_Vasquez>
::initiates the warp drive::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::notices an incoming message::Vettel: The Jevorim Praetor thanks you personally for your efforts. Good job, Lt.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::opens his eyes again:: AXO: I think they deserve a rest too. ::turns to the MO as he sits up:: MO: Thank you, and yes, I will.
 
ACTION: The Scimitar jumps to maximum warp, leaving behind a peaceful planet where once was chaos. And Romulan space, for now.
 
<MO_Doctor_Vale> 
ACO: Now go, I have a chess game to get back to.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::nods and stands up:: AXO: Shall we? ::gestures to the door::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
<Vettel>::smiles awkwardly to Saprin, not used to compliments from her::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: Seems you made an impression, Lieutenant.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::slips her arm around Thalev's elbow:: ACO: We shall.
 
<Vettel>
CEO: Seems I did. ::smiles widely, proud of himself::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::accepts her arm with a smile:: AXO: I need to sleep. ::leaves sickbay::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: Engineering reports a 99,4% efficiency. We should arrive at Babel right on time.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: I think both our Captains will be happy with that.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::walks with Thalev to the turbolift:: ACO: I don't suppose you'd like a little company...
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: Yeah. ::smiles::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::stands up and walks over to Saprin, leaning in:: OPS: I've been thinking....it's perhaps not my place, but. Dixon sent the Captain a message on that PADD he got...has he told you what it said?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::puts long range sensors on automatic, scanning for Romulan ships that might be in the way::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks up:: CEO: He did not tell me. I suppose that whatever it was scared him, else he would not have destroyed it so quickly. Perhaps Engineer Bob read the message.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::looks solemn, his stomach acids flaring as he thinks back to that maniac shooting Jon:: OPS: Perhaps. She should be out of recovery soon.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: We were all very lucky not to have any casualties. Commander Idrani could have bled to death and Sumner was nearly vaporized.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: And Captain Rome...did you see the report from HQ? ::snorts:: Orions my ass.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: The 31s still have too much pull within Starfleet. If I knew of a way, I would pull strings to purge them from existence.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
OPS: You and me both. ::his nostrils flaring:: I just have a nagging feeling that none of this is over, that he'll be back for us.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
AXO: I'd love some. I've got some Andorian tea in my quarters we can share. Supposed to be great to relax.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
ACO: Sounds fantastic. ::grins up at him::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: I am sure he will. We need to prepare meanwhile. We have to play with his weapons. Use our connections to pull strings and produce a shield around us ... so to speak. They also rely on torture and questioning. I can help the crew prepare for that.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::sits down in the first officer's chair and rests his elbows on his legs:: OPS: You're full of surprises, Lieutenant.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: Not at all. All you have to do is ask, and I will tell you. Few people ask.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::is taken aback:: OPS: I guess it's just that, well. All the Vulcan's I know aren't all that...chatty. I'm sorry.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: Vulcans, like Betazoids are an open race. We have no shame, no prejudice about talking about anything. The difference is that with the Betazoids you merely have to let them speak. With Vulcans you have to ask the exact right questions. With me, I like to think I am somewhere in between.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::smiles:: OPS: So I see.
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::exits the turbolift, his face serious once more::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::Stands up:: OPS: And I would love a chance to pick your brain over a beer some day...but for now, I really need to visit the gym. Sitting in a broom closet for seven days has not done any favors for my back.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::walks with Thalev to his quarters, pointedly not bringing up anything stressful::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CEO: Beer is too weak for me. I wish your exercise to be fruitful.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
::laughs:: OPS: Then you pick the poison, Lieutenant. And...thanks. I think.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods to the CEO and turns to her console::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spencer:
Vettel: Vettel, make sure your boss takes a break at some point. ::walks past the officers and heads for the Turbolift::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::wishes he could just tell Sara about Dixon's message, but knows he should tell Rome first::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::gets to the quarters:: AXO: After you. ::smiles::
 
<Vettel>
::looks at the CEO, then at Saprin, and then back at the viewscreen, not daring to speak up::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::hesitates:: AXO: No, er, just a second. ::pushes her gently aside and steps in first::
  
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::quirks an eyebrow, leaning to get a look at whatever he was hiding::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
::walks a few steps inside, turning on the lights, looks around a moment:: AXO: Okay, come in.
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
::walks in after him, looking about quizzically::
 
ACO Cmdr Idrani:
AXO: Er, I wasn't sure if I'd left my dirty clothes about or something. ::feigns a smile:: So, tea?
 
AXO LtJG Sumner:
ACO: In a minute. ::leaps at Thalev, throwing her arms around him and kissing him::
