Last time on the Seleya:

Curiosity?  Cruelness?  Revenge?  The whys remain unanswered but as with many things, life goes on.  And like with many ventures, the crew will lean upon each other in various ways.  Unlike some, the counselors on the Seleya will be very busy.

Called to help, the USS Cerwyn came to assist, though given the way things were going, they may have arrived too late if the crew had not come up with possibilities that allowed them to escape the literal nightmare induced area.

With the Seleya needing to continue on their mission, the Cerwyn will remain behind to either discover what had happened or set warning buoys.  After they drop off the Seleya's unexpectedly newest counselor.  Though given the crew’s needs, the timing was impeccable.

Two days later, with the ship repairs completed and the USS Cerwyn about to beam the newest crewmembers aboard, they first officer has called a senior staff meeting.  It is one hour into Alpha shift.

Commander's Maor log, SD:11208.19: On the aftermath of the events of the last few days a senor staff meeting has been called. With the Captain away, it is up to me to make some sense on what happened.

<<<<<<<<< Command...  >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
::Getting the message from the first officer, she quickly sets her area on standby before leaving the science lab for the lounge.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::In the observation lounge, waiting for the rest of the crew, except for the already present::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::In Sickbay:: MO: We'd better get going to the meeting. I'd hate to be late.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Finishes his latest  project, picks up his padd and heads to the observation lounge.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sitting at the table in the observation lounge.  He rubs his eyes still having problems sleeping soundly.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Waiting patiently on the Bridge for the expected arrival of their new senior Counselor, Savar turns to the side to glance at Lieutenant Naas ::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Nods:: CEO: Good idea. ::Glances sideways at the CEO with a questioning look, goes to say something, pauses and decides not to say a word at all. Walks out of SB to the TL at the CEO's side::
OPS Lander says:
*XO*:  Sir, the Cerwyn is ready to beam aboard the last of the newest officers for a total of five.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Try some coffee.
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Feels the ambassador's gaze :: Amb: Something on your mind?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Taps his badge:: *OPS*: Do it. Inform them the CIV is ready to receive them.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Arriving at the lounge, she quietly enters and makes her way toward her seat next to Max.::
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Reads as he walks, avoiding colliding with the walls and doors with feline grace.::
OPS Lander says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Starts walking cautiously out of Sickbay, the best speed she can make:: MO: Thanks for all your help, by the way. Doctors hardly ever get the credit they deserve.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CNS: Do you wish to walk with me and meet your new superior?
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Enters the Observation lounge, and moves to the table, nodding to the XO and CTO.::  ALL:  Gentlemen.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Smiles, trying to hide her pride:: CEO: I could say the same about Engineers!
OPS Lander says:
::Informing the Cerwyn to proceed, he turns toward the Ambassador.::  Amb:  The last crew is should arrive shortly.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CSO:: CSO: Ensign.
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Shrugs::  Amb: May as well.  Let's go.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
MO: Well yes, you heal people, we heal the ship. The rest of them go about making sure we have work to do! ::enters the turbolift::

ACTION:  Counselor York is beamed aboard with some of her belongs surrounding her.

Amb Envoy Savar says:
OPS: Thank you Mister Lander.  ::As he is not in command of the Bridge, he does not need to turn over command to anyone, and so he and Naas depart from the rear turbolift and ride down to the primary transporter room ::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  I have been, perhaps I'll have to try something stronger.  ::Nods in greetings to the CSO before turning to Rose.::  SO:  How are you doing?  Haven't had a chance to talk with ya since all of this happened.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Max and shrugs::  CTO:  It is kind of... I don't know, having your worst nightmare thrown at you and some of it you had never even realized.  You?  ::Looks him over carefully::  I have seen you worse, but still...
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Shrugs as they walk through the doorway::  Amb: Wonder what she's like...
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
CTO:  Try Jestral Tea.  It’s wildly popular on Betazoid, and quite soothing.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Steps aside and lets CEO enter the TL first, watching her closely in case she stumbles:: CEO: If you feel unsteady at all, just grab me, OK? I'm not as easy to knock over as I look. ::Smiles warmly:: TL: Bridge ::Turns back to the CEO:: CEO; You... won't. I feel stupid to have to ask, but... ::Frowns at herself, feeling like an idiot:: You won't mention to anyone about my asking you about the Chief, will you?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Smiles soothingly at her:: MO: Not in a million years.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Visibly relaxes:: CEO: Oh, good.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Looks at the chronometer and wonders if he's early.::
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
::She looks around as she beams aboard with her young daughter and her caretaker::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  I'm ok just tired, can't seem to get those nightmares out of my head, but it will subside in time I'm sure.  ::Turns back to the CSO::  CSO:  Thank you, I will definitely give that a try.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Steps forward as the columns of light materialize, his lightweight white robe shifting around his legs::  CNS: Counselor Solaa-York?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Puts her hand on the side of her shoulder:: MO: You worry too much. That's usually what I do!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CSO: Not used to the meetings on this ship yet, Ensign? I've yet to witness one that started on time.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods to the CSO::
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
Savar: Yes, that's me.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CNS: I am Savar, Federation Ambassadorial Envoy Extraordinary.  This is Lieutenant Naas, who has been acting as the head counselor recently.  Welcome aboard the Seleya.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Clears his throat, and nods.:: XO:  I do find that things on a starship move with an ebb and flow of their own, butI'm sure I'll adjust.
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
::Turns to her live-in babysitter, a Trill girl named Serah, and gives her a quick nod of her head to take her daughter away; she steps off the pad:: Savar: Nice to meet you. ::Nods to Naas:: Naas: And you too. I look forward to working with you.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Hears the TL door open as the CEO's hand rests on her shoulder:: CEO: Maybe, but I do prefer to worry about things, and have them not happen, than to be oblivious and be taken by surprise... ::Ushers the CEO out of the lift, hoping this promising start may just become a close friendship::
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Nods slightly::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CNS: I have been instructed by our executive officer, Commander Maor, to escort you to a senior staff briefing in the Observation Lounge.  Do you require visiting any other location aboard ship before your arrival at the meeting?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Exits the turbolift and enters the Observation Lounge, looking for the closest chair having gotten tired from the trip up here::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Remind to schedule meetings twenty minutes earlier next time.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
XO: In the meantime, has there been any word on what Starfleet plans to do about the entity inside the nebula?  There’s so much about it we don’t know...
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
Savar: No. I think I'll go straight there. ::looks down as her daughter is tugging at her uniform::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles.::  Yes sir.
Aelia says:
CNS: Daddy here?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CSO: That will come after this meeting, Starfleet has requested our input on the events of the last few days.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Looks up and smiles at the late arrivals.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Nods to them:: All: Sorry for the delay, getting about is a bit more difficult at the moment.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Enters the Observation Lounge and sits next to CEO, scanning her with her medical tricorder to see how she's doing::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Gives the MO a 'not now!' look::
SO Lt Rose says:
::For his ears only::  CTO:  Might want to attach a security officer to each invite.
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
::She smiles down at her:: Aelia: Yes, he's here, darling. Serah will take you to him. Mummy has to go to work right now though. I'll see you in a minute.
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
Savar/Naas: Let's go.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Sees the look, and puts the tricorder down, mouthing "OK" to the CEO::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Clears his throat:: All: We're just missing our Ambassador and our new Counselor. If any one wants something to drink, now's your time.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Grins and whispers back.::  SO:  I can see it now a knock on your door for your own personal escort to the meetings, I'm sure it'd go over well.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Chuckles::  CTO:  Do ye want me to make ye some of that tea via replicator?  ::Since they had the time she stood to get something.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Looks around, sees the CTO, remembers what Ajala had said, and looks away fast::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: Maor to Savar.
CNS Lt Naas says:
::As the Ambassador turns to lead the way, Naas tries to strike up conversation ::  CNS: First time aboard a Sovereign class starship, Lieutenant?
CSO Ensign Hret says:
::Stands and gets himself some Dekka tea with cream and returns to his seat.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
*XO*: Yes, Commander?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: I assume you're on your way toward to observation lounge with our new senior officer?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Wants a drink but is too tired from her recovery to get up for one and is too uncomfortable to ask anyone::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
*XO*: She just arrived.  We are en route.
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
Naas: Yes, actually. It's the biggest I've seen.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sees the MO look at him then quickly look away.::  Self:  Now what's that about.  SO:  Yes tea would be nice thank you.
CNS Lt Naas says:
CNS: I didn't have a chance to read your assignment history... we've been running some strange drills lately.  None of which seem to have gone quite right.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Decides to get a drink, as much for something to do as anything else:: CEO: You want anything? ::stands up gingerly::
SO Lt Rose says:
::With a nod she heads for the replicator and orders Max the tea and for herself some cherry juice.  As it quickly arrives, she takes it back to the table, handing Max his.::
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
::Is slightly irritated by the fact that her husband wasn't there to greet her but she doesn't let it show::
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
Naas: Oh, nothing ever goes according to plan in space, does it? ::Laughs::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Relieved someone asked her directly and is surprised how a simple drink got her so worked up:: MO: Yes please! Just some water please/
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::As they board the turbolift, Savar sets it for the correct deck, and the doors whisk close as the car moves ::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Aren't we missing more people?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around, looking for someone:: MO: Where is the Doctor, Ensign?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Taking her seat, she sips the cold drink appreciatively::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Smiles, nods and hops over to the replicator:: Replicator: Still spring water and... apple juice ::takes the drinks back to the table and sits down, passing the water to the CEO::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Mouths a silent "thank you"::
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Looks about.:: XO:  Perhaps they are still recovering, some of the crew were near critical I'm told.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Freezes, half-sitting and looks up at the XO:: XO: Uh, he's resting, sir. He'd been up for several days. I volunteered to take his next shift.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Takes the tea and takes a drink, before looking around.::  XO:  Just Doctor York now I think if the AMB and CNS are on their way.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: MO: You're ready to answer in the name of your department then?
CNS Lt Naas says:
CNS: Actually, I suspect it has something to do with being a Starfleet vessel.  I feel like I once read a statistical study about that.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks over at Lee::
MO Ens Lee says:
XO: Yes sir. ::Tones it as more of a question than a statement, and sits down fully, trying to seem cooler than she feels::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Looks at the XO, concerned at his words::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::The turbolift drops them off and Savar leads the way to the lounge.  When the doors open on their arrival, Savar glances around at the assembled before meeting the eyes of Commander Maor ::  XO: Commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: Just in time. ::Nods to the direction of the CNS:: CNS: Lieutenant. Please have a seat.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Stands up and smiles when the new arrivals enter then returns to his seat.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Turns around and sees the CNS, recognizes her face from their conversation and nods a little to her::
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Choosing not to go into the lounge, better to stay away from that kook Maor ::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Smiles at the woman beside the ambassador.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Gratefully takes a sip of her water::
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
::Takes a seat::
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Turns his attention to the XO, ears twitching slightly.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up at the new arrivals before turning back to the commander.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Wonders if the meeting will start soon as she needs to go and rest::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Watches, the CNS, idly wondering how the Chief is recovering::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: First things first. I'd like to introduce the newest member to the Seleya's senior staff, Lieutenant Rynia Solaa-York. She'll be serving as our new Counselor, replacing the capable Lieutenant Nass. ::Turns to the direction of the CNS:: CNS: Would you like to tell us a little about yourself before we begin, Lieutenant?
MO Ens Lee says:
::Face drops as she realizes she's not sure if the CMO even knows that she spoke his wife at all::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Takes an available seat ::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods a greeting again.  Given her experience with the CMO so far... Bri shook her head letting that thought go before it started.::
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
::Clears her throat a bit:: All: Um... well, it's been a while since I was serving on a starship...
CNS Lt Solaa-York says:
All: If you didn't look at my biography already I am married to your Chief Medical Officer, LtCmdr. York... feel free to send me sympathy cards. ::Smiles:: And we have one young daughter together. I was previously serving on Trill with Starfleet Medical Psychology.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Turns and listens to Lt. York.::
CSO Ensign Hret says:
CNS:  Oh My....!
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
CNS: Welcome aboard! Feel free to send your daughter around to play with my daughter anytime. ::Smiles::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Frowns as she listens::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Smiles at the counselors comment, but find it a bit odd they would put someone who had not been aboard a starship in a while as head of the department.  Then she looks at her new head and shrugs her shoulder given she had pushed for him.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Comments later. ::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Thank you, Lieutenant. I'll arrange for a proper meeting between us later. ::Clears his throat, once again:: All: Back to the business at hand.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Blinks slightly shocked...The Doctor York has children?!::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Listens quietly to the CNS as he drinks his tea, not surprised by what she said having already read her personnel file.::
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Coughs lightly then turns his attention back to the XO.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: We have been instructed by Starfleet to arrange for a full report regarding the events of the last few days. Have a report ready on my desk by the end of the week. In addition,  I will be arranging meetings with the department heads in the following weeks, in hopes of clearing a few issues that have come up.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Saying that, I'd like to congratulate all the departments for their contribution to the successful outcome of what transpired. Don't think no one realizes that everything could have ended much worse. That will be noted and acted upon.
SO Lt Rose says:
::She had finished her report the day before, with nothing better to do as she avoided sleep.  So one thing she need not worry about.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Now, any other questions before we move on?
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Shakes his head, no questions that can be answered at the moment.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Looks down, remembers she got a drink and takes a mouthful::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Waits for the meeting to continue::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Here's what about to happen in the next few weeks.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Motions for the yeoman to give everyone a PADD:: All: Starfleet has chosen us to try out a new type of a training exercise, one meant to test your command skills.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Every senior officer on the ship will be given the opportunity to be the acting Captain for a shift. You'll be judged, ranked and reported based on your evaluations. 
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Takes the padd from the yeoman and looks over it, his curiosity spiked.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Raises hand::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: You'll have time for questions later, Lieutenant. 
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Nods and lowers her hand::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Raises her hand::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Sighs in relief at her close miss, so glad H’ret came aboard when he did.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
MO: In a few moments, Ensign.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Taps his badge:: *Stark*: You can come in now, Captain.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Bites her lip and lowers her hand slowly, resting it on the table on the PADD she'd been given::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Gives a look to the MO, waiting to see what is going on::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Catches the CEO's glance, and shrugs gently, scratching the side of her neck unconsciously::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks curiously toward the door.::
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Has dozens of questions, but waits for the XO::
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Steps through the hissing doors at a gliding pace, eyes moving from face to face throughout the room::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Turns to see the new arrival walk through the doors.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Frowns, not recognizing the man.  He must have come aboard the Cerywn.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: This is Captain Malcolm Stark, he'll be in charge of the training exercises. ::Turns to the direction of the Captain:: CO: Captain.
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Moves to stand beside Commander Maor:: XO: Thank you, Commander. 
SO Lt Rose says:
::Automatically nods a greeting.::
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
All: It's a pleasure to be here and to meet you all. To stand aboard this ship is a great honor. Each ship that has carried the name Seleya has accomplished great things. To be a part of that legacy as its being made is a privilege I'm sure you'll agree. 
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Rests his hands easy behind him:: All: I'm not sure how much the Commander has informed you about our little project here, but if you'd like to ask me any questions about it I'd be happy to answer. 
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
::Raises his hand.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Raises her hand::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Raises her hand, a tiring thing to do at the moment, so lowers it after a few seconds::
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Gestures to H’ret:: CSO: Yes Ensign?
MO Ens Lee says:
::Glances at the CEO worriedly, mouths "you doing OK?"::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Whispers back almost silently:: MO: Just tiring.
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
CO Stark:  I understand the idea behind this exercise of course, but I am somewhat concerned about this rating system and its impact on our future.  I for one have never had designs on command...
CSO Ensign H’ret says:
CO Stark:  Is this to gauge our ability to adjust in an emergency capacity?
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Nods:: CSO: No, not precisely. For now, just suffice it to say that this exercise is about calibration and about learning. 
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Turns his eyes on the doctor:: MO: I believe you were next?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Sits back, not quite certain why she was called to this meeting.  That was the advantage of having a boss.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Nods:: CO Stark: Thank you, Captain. ::Pauses:: Under the circumstances, and as the medical officer on duty right now, I think the timing of this training exercise is ill-advised, sir. Many of the crew have been through ::swallows in a dry throat:: some very, very stressful experiences. I doubt any of us will be at our best.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
MO: The training will take place next week, Ensign.
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Glances sideways at Maor::
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Clears his throat:: XO: Actually, Commander, the timetable has been moved up. We start tomorrow. 
MO Ens Lee says:
::Looks over that the XO, looks away:: XO: Understood. ::Swallows the rest of her objection::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Head spins around to look at Stark, worried etched on her young face::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Any more questions for the Captain or myself?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
XO/Stark: Earlier it was said we'd be given the opportunity to be acting Captain. With respect, I have no desire whatsoever to have command experience of that kind. Are we permitted to opt out, or is it mandatory?
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes:: CEO: This is a much more comprehensive exercise than that, Lieutenant. Designs on a future command position is not a critical component. 
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
Stark: So, to clarify, you are saying this is mandatory, Sir?
Captain Malcolm Stark says:
::Brings his hands from behind his back and folds his arms:: CEO: Very much so. ::turns:: XO: Would you prefer 3 days for your people? I wasn't aware that the situation was this bad. 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the Captain::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Any more questions anyone has can be addressed directly to me and I'll relay them to the Captain. Dismissed.
