Host Capt-Lyon says:
USS Seleya 10310.26

Summary: The Seleya's crew is making good progress on the mysterious chambers. What still remains the mystery is the portal, why it changed color and who is on the other side.

As the Captain appeared on the bridge, LRS had shown a vessel approaching. Who is it and what were they going to do?

As precaution to their current situation, the ship is at red alert, a prudent decision.

::Spins on her heels:: XO: Report!

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::at TAC 1::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Sprints out of the TL and takes the helm::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
@::lounges in one of the shuttle chairs:: OPS: ETA, Commander?

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::is entering main engineering::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::wiggles around in the shuttle, feeling a little uncomfortable in this uniform::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
CTO: Tactical analysis on that vessel, please Lt.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::taps a few commands on the shuttle's console:: Lyon: Approximately 10 minutes.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: An unknown vessel is approaching our position...

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye captain ::runs a tactical scan::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
@OPS: Hail them.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
CO: Should we break orbit captain?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@Lyon: Aye sir, hailing now.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO: Is everyone off the planet now?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
FCO: Not at the moment.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: As far as I know, all away teams have returned to the Seleya.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@COM: Seleya: U.S.S. Seleya, this is shuttlecraft Sequoia on approach, requesting landing clearance.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO: Excellent.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Scans coming in, it's a Federation shuttle, of a design I'm not familiar with...

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: The Starfleet database has it down as the Shuttlecraft Sequoia, assigned to the USS Cherokee.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Get all duffels together for transfer over to the ship::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO: Understood. ::stops and thinks::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Incoming hail from the Sequoia...

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::picks up his PADD, going over the info the Symbiosis Commission gave him::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::brings the shuttle in on a steady course for the Seleya, just beneath her bow.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::steps up to a console and begins looking over ships systems::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO: On screen.

Host Capt-Lyon says:
@::turns:: TO: Runs continuous scans. ::glances over at Viren:: CIV: Problem with your uniform?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
CTO: Please slave SCI and continue with those scans please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Understood, they appear to be requesting permission to dock.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@COM: Seleya: I repeat, this is Commander Masters aboard the shuttlecraft Sequoia requesting landing clearance.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye captain ::slaves SCI::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Taps a button and brings the shuttle on screen ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@:: Starts tapping button to setup scans::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
All: Commander Masters? Wasn't she reassigned?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
COM: OPS: Nice to see you again Commander you have my permission. Who else is aboard with you?

Host Capt-Lyon says:
ACTION: Over Masters’ shoulder a seemingly familiar face can be seen.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
FCO: Have them dock in Shuttle bay 1, please.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::turns towards the cockpit's monitor:: COM: CO/XO: Commander Muir... Captain, it's a pleasure as always. ::smiles::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::begins clearing shuttle bay 1:: CO: Yes Captain.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@Capt: No, it just I never thought I'd be in one again.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Smiles up at the screen, until he sees the familiar face of Captain Lyon ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Pauses for a second’s thought, then frowns ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::Smiles at commander Muir:: XO: Please join with me to meet our guests. ::stops as she sees the face::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@COM: Seleya: I have with me Ensign Croft, Lt. Viren... and Captain Lyon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: mutes the audio ::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Sees Lyon:: All: O...kay....

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Perhaps we should have a security team with us? We've already been taken in by a replica once before...

Host Capt-Lyon says:
@CIV: I suggest you get it tailored... makes it more comfortable.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO: I agree. FCO: Open audio.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Gets up from his chair and moves over to tactical ::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Opens the audio channel::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
COM: OPS: Inform Capt. Lyon we will meet you in shuttle bay 1

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::brings the shuttle in just under the saucer and slowly banks around the port nacelle, turning to come in for a landing at Shuttle bay 1::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
@OPS: Take us in when you're ready.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::raises an eyebrow at the approaching XO::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
COM: Bolitho out.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Whispering :: CTO: Accompany the Captain and myself to the shuttle bay... I want you armed and watching Lyon at all times. We don't want any replica's walking around this ship.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::walks to the TL and turns to look:: FCO: You have the bridge.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@COM: Seleya: Understood Seleya. Sequoia out.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::secures his station and nods to Muir::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::enters TL and waits for Muir and Darklighter::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::arms himself and moves to the TL::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves towards the Turbolift, and gives the FCO an encouraging smile ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::sends a request to the shuttle bay to open up the bay doors::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
ACTION: The Sequoia comes in for a flawless landing.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::puts his PADD away and takes a deep breath, realizing they will soon be landing::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
TL: Shuttle bay One.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO:CTO: Gentlemen, are you ready?

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Looks around the bridge a little unsure::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::stands by the door and crosses his arms, staring forward::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Ready for what exactly? I am the only one who finds this the slightest bit odd?

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@:: move to the shuttle door::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@Lyon: And... we're here. ::grins, while shutting down the shuttle's systems::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
CTO: I’m hoping this will be the right Capt Lyon, so no heavy handiness on him please. ::grins::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Our Starfleet Liaison officer, who was apparently kidnapped and whose replica was killed while on mission with us is hooking up with our ship in the middle of a dangerous mission with at least one former crewmember?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::slowly rises from her console, stretching her legs after a few hours at the controls::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
OPS: Thanks, Commander. Don't be surprised at my welcome on this ship... there is a bit of history that I'm sure someone will fill you in on.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Something seems off; but maybe that's just me.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
CO: Captain I’m never heavy handiness on anyone ::grins::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
XO: Not at all, Commander, but Admiral Alexander informed me that Capt. Lyon had been kidnapped. I’m hoping they found him and this is he.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
OPS: So you’re returning too!

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Raises an eyebrow but nods ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Lyon: I'll take your word on that, sir. This isn't my first time aboard either, and I'm anxious to get back in touch with the crew.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Understood.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Steps out of the lift as they reach the shuttle bay ::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
OPS: That's just it... I've never been on this ship before.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
:;smiles at Darklighter's comment amused:: XO: Two Captains Lyon are difficult enough to cope with. Three would drive me mad.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::feels the TL come to a halt leaves and heads towards SB1::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::merely nods her head in response, not wanting to babble::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Nods at his Commanding Officer, and then takes his position at the Captain's right as they move through the Shuttle bay doors ::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::steps up to the shuttle doors and opens them:: CIV/OPS/TO: Please, you go first.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
Lyon: Ready to disembark.

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::nods at the Ensign::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CIV: Yes... I was posted to the Seleya shortly before the destruction of the Galaxy-class one.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
:;Enters SB and stands waiting for the Capt and crew::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
::Steps out of the shuttlecraft door::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::waits for the CIV and TO to exit first before stepping out::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::stands at the captain’s left::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::walks up to the shuttle bay doors and pears into the shuttle bay, pauses, then steps through::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::slings her bag over her shoulder and steps out, finding it hard to hold back a smile while the CO and XO approach::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::picks up his cane from where he had stored it::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::Smiles warmly as she sees the CIV officer and Masters::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Masters and Mercz?

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Remains neutral as he looks around the bay for Lyon ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain, may I introduce Ensign Croft, Lieutenant Viren... and I believe you know Captain Lyon?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
CIV: OPS: Commander, Lieutenant, good to have you back among the crew again. ::offers her hand::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::has finished looking over ships systems, picks up PADD and notes all systems are running good::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Paces the bridge, waiting to hear what's going on::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::stands in the door of the shuttle, leaning on his cane for a moment and then steps out:: CO: Captain Bolitho, pleased to finally meet you. ::walks towards her leaning on his cane::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::gladly shakes it:: CO: It's good to be back, sir... as always.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::hears his old name:: CTO: It's Viren now, I have a slug in me.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::Looks:: CIV: Now you know how it feels. ::smiles and turns to the new TO:: TO: Ensign, welcome aboard. ::looks a little suspiciously at Lyon::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::waits for Tam's response::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::looks around the bay and then rubs a finger on a nearby wall:: XO: I see you've managed to keep her from falling apart without me.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
::Comes to attention when he see his CO and XO standing there:: CO: Ensign Richard Raven Croft Reporting Sir!

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::looks around, feeling a little apprehensive about being back::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Raises his eyebrow slightly at the captain, but says nothing ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
Lyon: Now please Captain tell me I am looking at the right Captain Lyon ::smiles:: But maybe we should send you to sickbay to make sure. ::offers hand:: Welcome aboard the Seleya.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: We've actually just got back from a refit... before this we were temporarily reassigned to an Akira-class vessel... investigating a murder :: Looks expectantly at Lyon ::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::shakes her hand:: CO: I assure you I'm the right one. I was rescued a few weeks ago. As you can see, I brought you some personnel.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Looks at the TO immediately as he hears the name "Croft", and wonders if they are at all related ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
TO: Welcome aboard.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
Lyon: Well, let’s hope so.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
XO: Thank you Sir

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::reaches his hand out to Darklighter:: CTO: It is great to see you again

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::notices the odd exchange between Lyon and the others:: All: Well, I see we all have some history here... ::takes a step off to the side and chooses to view the exchange from a slight distance::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
CO: We can go to sickbay if you wish... ::pauses a moment::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::uncomfortably shifts the weight of her bag on her shoulder::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::takes Viren's hand:: CIV: Welcome back Lt, didn't think I’d see you again.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
CO, Lyon: Why go to sickbay, when you have a perfectly good doctor here ::stands up straight::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CO: Perhaps I should take the new staff to the bridge to get them settled in?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
TO: Please report to the CTO he will assign you to where he wants you. CIV/OPS: Commander Muir will now doubt have an array of things for you to do.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
CTO: I didn't think I would be back either

TO_Ens_Croft says:
CTO: I'm ready and willing sir

Host Capt-Lyon says:
XO: Excellent suggestion... ::turns to Tam:: CO: I have something for you. I suggest we meet in your ready room.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
<Generic Crewman> OPS: I'll see your bag makes it to your quarters, ma'am.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::Smiles at Viren and then looks at Lyon:: Lyon: Certainly. This way, Captain.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Crewman: Thank you. ::rubs hands together and walks near Muir::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Wonders if he should sit in the big chair?::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Motions to the CIV to follow them, and moves towards the exit ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::turns to the TO:: TO: I trust you've gone over the specs of the ship before arriving, will you report to the bridge and take over tactical while I am needed here please

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::starts walking:: Lyon: Adm. Alexander told me of your kidnapping when it seemed we had a double of you on Seleya.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::heads over to the XO::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
CTO: Aye Aye Sir

Host Capt-Lyon says:
CO: I heard of that. SFI hasn't given me an explanation as to why they did that... and I don't think I will get one.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: So, are my favorite faces still around? Commander Hamid, Jameson... ::grumbles:: ...Kavek?

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Steps through the doors and moves towards the turbolift, keeping a rapid pace, obviously preoccupied with Lyon and Tam ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
Lyon: So it was SFI that did that. It would be intriguing to find out. ::enters TL and waits for Lyon::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
::Walks out of the SB and to the nearest TL:: Computer: Bridge

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::follows behind the XO, and OPS::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Turns and moves back to the other side of the Bridge, best not to fall into temptation::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::enters the TL with Tam, handing her a PADD:: CO: I'm sure we'll find out some time or another.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Shakes his head slightly as he moves into the Turbolift, coming back to the here and now, but still not with all of his attention focused ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::follows the crowd to the TL::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
::exits on the bridge and walks to TAC ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: Lt. Cmdr. Hazzem just returned from an away mission and is off duty, and Lt. Cmdr. Jameson was recently reassigned as the USS Tal-War's Executive Officer...

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::follows the XO in, leaning over slightly to look at him:: XO: I'm no Counselor, but something tells me you're not exactly yourself these days.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::takes the PADD but doesn't read it:: Lyon: Well please inform me, I have yet to solve the puzzle. ::feels the TL come to a halt and leaves heading for her RR::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: Kavek turned out to be a Romulan spy, and after trying to frame the Captain and various others for illegal offences he himself was caught and recently fled to Romulus.

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::walks with Tam:: CO: I think that will be on the cards in the near future.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
XO: Spy? Sounds like the Seleya

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Ah hah! Slimy little traitor... how many times did I tell him to stay out of the engineering database. ::chuckles to herself:: If I ever see him again I'll shoot him in the back without remorse.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: I'm sorry if I'm not being as attentive as I could be... ever since I saw Lyon's face on that view screen I've been feeling... Odd. Almost apprehensive.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Bad blood? Or just strange circumstances?

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Indeed... :: Frowns slightly, not really comfortable about talking about it, in that his family are mainly SFI ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::looks at him a bit puzzled as she enters the RR Offers Lyon a chair:: Lyon: Can I get you anything from the replicator?

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::exits the TL and moves to TAC 1 and pats the TO on the shoulder:: TO: Thank you for watching the shop, please man TAC 2

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::walks out onto the bridge, walking first towards the Engineering station before realizing she no longer mans that station::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: A few months ago Captain Lyon was assigned to us as Starfleet Liaison Officer, and then on a mission to his home world, he was brutally murdered.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
CTO: Yes Sir ::Moves to TAC 2::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Steps out of the lift and continues ::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::grins:: CO: Coffee please. Black with sugar.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Stranger things have happened on this ship.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Turns to the XO:: All: Officer on deck.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
XO: Wow, he looks like he is in pretty good condition for a dead guy.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::walks to the replicator to get the coffee:: Lyon: So Captain... what is this all a bout ?

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS/CIV: Well, we later found out that the person who was actually killed was his replica.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Shrugs and moves back to the helm::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
CO: Read the PADD, Captain, then you will understand. I'm also here to be the "convenient" transport for Commander Jameson.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS/CIV: What was strange is that although the planets law enforcement agencies are not Starfleet, they, and we, were ordered to drop our investigation by the head of SFI. Having him onboard is a little... unsettling, especially given the circumstances.

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::sits on the sofa with his coffee, watching Tam's face::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves to Operations ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::takes the coffee over to him and sits down to read the PADD:: Lyon: I had heard Commander Jameson had been reassigned to the USS Tal-War.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
:: Gives all the new faces a quick look, then turns back the helm::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Yeah... I keep a spare version of myself in the closet. Comes in handy when I don't wanna go to work. If you want, we can use the internal sensors to confirm his identity.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: Your station, I believe you're familiar with it...

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
FCO: At ease Ensign. :: Smiles ::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
XO: Yes sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
OPS: I trust the Captain's judgment, but I can't help my feelings.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves away from Operations to the Command Area and takes the center seat ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::rubs hands on the back of the OPS seat, waiting for the relief officer to vacate:: Self: Ooo... this is going to take some getting used to. ::slides in and brings up her preprogrammed configuration::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
CO: Yes... A well deserved promotion.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Brings up the Transfer orders and frowns:: CIV: Lieutenant Junior Grade... ::pauses:: Viren, is it now?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::Reads the orders as her face goes a little serious and glances at Lyon:: Lyon: They're reassigning me... permanently ?

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Your transfer orders have you down as a mission specialist, so, feel free to man anything unmanned. ::smiles ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
XO: Aye, Sir

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, Captain. Not what you expected I assume?

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Taps almost inaudibly on the armrests of the Center Seat, wondering what's going on in the Ready Room ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::leans back in her chair and looks round the RR:: Lyon: Not really. I never thought I would ever leave a starship

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Our medical staff is a little bottom heavy at the moment as well; so perhaps, in the future, you'd be able to assist them should it become necessary?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::slams her knee into the underside of the console, not yet quite used to it. Holds back a whimper::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::finishes his coffee and gets up:: CO: I will leave you to inform your crew. Your XO will assume command until SFC finds a replacement or promotes him.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Looks forward at the OPS console and raises an eyebrow ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::hears the thud from under the OPS console and grits his teeth::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::doesn't bother to turn around, knowing Muir's eyes are on her back as she sinks her head into her shoulders slightly in mild embarrassment::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::looks down at her desk slowly:: Lyon: Understood. When do we leave?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
XO: It's been a while since I've practiced medicine, but I think I can handle it

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Almost starts to grin at the banging sound::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
CO: As soon as is convenient, Captain... but no later than tomorrow morning.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Thanks ::nods and smiles ::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::nods slowly::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
*XO*: Bolitho to Muir

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CO*: Yes Ma'am?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::takes a seat in the third chair::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::walks to the door:: CO: I don't know whether to congratulate you, or offer my condolences. I know how you're feeling. I was in command of a ship until not too long ago.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::moves to another console and begins going over warp core readings::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
*XO*: Have the senior staff meet in the Observation Lounge now, please Commander.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::pivots her chair slightly to better listen in on the XO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CO*: Understood; is Starfleet changing our mission orders?

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Frowns slightly, now what?::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
Lyon: Well I guess at least they’re assigning me to the Engineering Corps. A desk job would have killed me, but nothing would compare to this ship. ::shakes head:: If you can excuse me Capt.

Host Capt-Lyon says:
::exits the RR with a nod to Tam, and walks over to Masters:: OPS: Could you please tell me what quarters I'm assigned? I would like to get off my feet.

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*Senior Staff*: Commander Muir to all Senior Officers, please report to the Observation lounge on the double.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
*XO*: I will inform you when we convene. Bolitho out !

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Frowns at his badge, not entirely sure what that meant ::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::leaves engineering and heads to TL::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::gets up:: Self: Just as I was getting comfortable

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Lyon: Deck 3 VIP quarters... I'll have a crewman escort you once you arrive on that deck.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::bites her lip and leaves the RR with her head down ::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Turns and looks at the XO, then secures the Helm::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::hears the XO and moves to the TO:: TO: Take over TAC again ensign

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Gets up and secures his stations, then walks through to the lounge, that feeling of apprehension in his stomach ::

Host Capt-Lyon says:
OPS: Thanks. I will let you get to your meeting. ::nods at Muir and leaves the bridge::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::discretely rubs her knee as she slides out of her seat, bound for the Observation Lounge::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
::Moves back to TAC1::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::exits TL and heads to observation lounge::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Looks at the CTO as they enter the TL:: CTO: This has bad written on it.

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
::enter the Observation lounge and looks at her crew as they enter and around at those that are already there::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::walks into the OBS lounge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves into the Operations Lounge and takes his seat at the top right hand side of the Captain ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::heads into the OBS lounge::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::slides into a chair at the far side of the table, leaning in on her elbows::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::moves into the OBS lounge::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::enter OBS lounge::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::takes a seat::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
::takes a seat at the table::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Sits at the table::

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
All: I will make this quick. Commander Jameson has been reassigned to the USS Tal-War, Lt. Cmdr. Masters now fills her role. And for the last, it seems I have been reassigned and will no longer stand as your Captain . Commander Muir will take command of Seleya as of after this meeting until a new captain has been assigned.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
::takes his seat::

Host XO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Can't hold it in :: CO: WHAT?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::opens her mouth but Muir beats her to it::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::shrugs at the announcement about the captain. making his mission a bit more complicated::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Has Starfleet given a reason as to your reassignment?

Host CO_Capt-Bolitho says:
