Host Erryn says:
MISSION SUMMARY: The Polaris, Artemis in tow, is mere minutes away from docking at their favorite haunt.

Host Erryn says:
The crew has been notified that a small fleet of StarFleet tugs has been dispatched to retrieve the forty ships idly sitting where the Cradle used to be.

Host Erryn says:
It's been an exciting day, and they are looking forward to a quiet shoreleave, where no disastrous incidents will take place.

::In her Quarters.  Zips into her uniform, looking at herself in the mirror.  She smiles, attaching her comm badge, and straightening it.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Exits her quarters, entering the turbo:: TL: bridge.

Host SBOPS_Smitty says:
@COM: Polaris: Starbase 185 to the Polaris, we have you on sensors now.

CEO_Russel says:
::On the bridge, at the ENG station.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Enters the bridge, looks around at everyone, and walks down to her chair::

FCO_Teasley says:
@COM: SB 185: This is the Polaris requesting permission to dock

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::finishes with the reports, gets up from the desk and walks out onto the Bridge::

Host SBOPS_Smitty says:
@COM: Polaris: Permission granted, and congratulations. Repair and cleanup crews are standing by.

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Hello sir.  ::Takes the CNS chair::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::he nods:: CNS: How are you feeling today Mr. Farrel?

CNS_Farrel says:
::Ends up sitting on a hard rail, realizing she has no chair:: CO: Oh, fine...I've been feeling a lot better since we got the Artemis back.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:SB185: Acknowledged

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::purrrrrrrrrrrs throatily at listening to the conversation between the CO and the CNS, feeding his scans to Helm::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, I'd hate to interrupt, but we're coming up on the Starbase

CTO_TRel says:
::continues tracking scans as she listens with one ear to the bridge conversation::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Before we dock, I would like for you to take an Engineering team and beam over to the Artemis, but first I must get clearance

CNS_Farrel says:
::looks at the captain, surprised at his orders.  She wonders what he has in mind.::

CEO_Russel says:
::his eyes lighten as he hears the Captain.  Turns to him.::  CO:  Aye, sir, I'll get a team ready.  ::Stands and heads for the TL.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: SBOPS: This is Capt. MacPherson-Quest, is there a superior Officer that I may speak with?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::hmmms and brightens:: CO: Captain, perrrmission to accompany the Away Team?

Host SBOPS_Smitty says:
@COM: Polaris: Not readily available, but maybe I can help you.

CEO_Russel says:
TL:  Deck 4.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: SBOPS: I would like to get clearance to send my Chief Engineering Officer and an Engineering team and beam them over to the Artemis.

CNS_Farrel says:
::finding the bridge rail uncomfortable, walks over to a vacant seat, the old communications officer's station.  She pats dust of the chair and takes a seat, fiddling curiously the dated comm-ear piece::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks at his CSO, unsure what to say::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, we're making our final approach

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits TL.  Walks to ME.::

Host SBOPS_Smitty says:
@::smiles:: COM: Polaris: They expected you'd want to do that. Any teams will need to report to Chief Lizol on the docking ring and check in. The Artemis is considered a hot zone for the time being.

FCO_Teasley says:
::cuts speed to thrusters::

FCO_Teasley says:
::prepares docking clamps::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Teasley. Use Star Fleet protocols for docking

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

Host SBOPS_Smitty says:
ACTION: With amazing grace, the Polaris docks with nary a shudder.

FCO_Teasley says:
::eases the ship in::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Sticks the earpiece in her ear, with a giggle::

FCO_Teasley says:
::engages docking clamps::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Docking clamps secured

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::flicks his tail back and forth agitatedly::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::he knows that it was the CSO and Dr. MacMer responsible for the Borg nanites taking over the Artemis::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters ME, looks around.  Walks over to two ensigns working nearby.::  EOs:  Parker, Smith, you're with me.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: I'll think about it

CNS_Farrel says:
::Places the piece back on the comm board, and looks over the station on the main viewer::

CEO_Russel says:
<EO Parker>  ::gives a worried glance at Smith, then grabs his tool kit.::

CTO_TRel says:
::switches from outside scans to ship’s security and a brief station scan::

CEO_Russel says:
<EO Smith>  ::grabs his tool kit and follows the CEO.::

CTO_TRel says:
::also continues scans of the Artemis::

CEO_Russel says:
::Grabs his tool kit and walks out of ME, followed by the two EOs.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::lays his ears back slightly and nods, Terran fashion:: CO: Aye, sirrr. Secondly, I'd like the opporrrtunity to be detailed to the inspection teams of the derrrelicts while we'rrre on leave?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: SBOPS: Thank you, I'll let my CEO know

FCO_Teasley says:
::powers down the helm::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: Since Star Fleet considers the Artemis to be some sort of "hot zone", you will need to see a Chief Lizol on the docking ring and check in

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.

CNS_Farrel says:
::watching the CO and CSO, feels Sozor going from pleased to being crushed...listens in on the conversation::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::begins setting his station to docking standby, sitting stiffly in his seat::

CEO_Russel says:
<EO Smith>  ::Smiles at Parker when he hears the CO's comm.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: I just can't take the risk of you taking Borg technology and bringing it onto either the Polaris or Star Base. But permission is granted for you to look at the derelicts

FCO_Teasley says:
::heads the OPS station::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters TL, followed by the two ensigns.::  TL:  Deck 9.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Alpha and Beta shifts will take shoreleave and C and myself will remain onboard until Star Fleet resumes command of the Polaris

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Understood sir

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::looks at the Captain as though he just walked over to him and slapped him across the muzzle:: CO: Of courrrse, sirrr. Pardon me, I'll go off-duty, now.  ::gets up.. VERY slowly and head to the TL with exaggerated care::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: So make sure everyone stows their gear in temporary quarters on the Star Base

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits TL.  Walks to docking port 3.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Shudders as a wave or hurt and rage passes through her as Sozor walks by::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: I will be remaining onboard until Star Fleet takes the Polaris back to SFC

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::enters the TL and snarls:: Computer: Deck Fourrr!

CNS_Farrel says:
::Considers following Sozor...suddenly realizes the Captain is addressing her::  CO: Aren't you going to go on shoreleave sir?  It's been a stressful mission...you could use a break.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: I wish, but I need to look after the Polaris until then. The thing with the CSO, I wish I could granted him permission, but I just can't take the risk

CEO_Russel says:
@::Walks onto starbase and heads for the Artemis.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::sends message about equipment to the Alpha and beat shifts::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::exits the TL and strides towards his quarters with enough force to make the deck plates vibrate slightly, paws clenching and unclenching at his sides, ears flat, tail bristled::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Wishing Kayan were here to order the Captain on shoreleave as Farrel knew she would...stands and brushes dust off her:: CO: Why would it be a risk?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: Because it was he and Dr. MacMer responsible for the Borg nanites being on the Artemis that lead to Capt. Ross being disgraced in the eyes of Star Fleet

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: And I have no reassurances that he won't try and sneak Borg technology off the Artemis

CEO_Russel says:
@::Arrives at where the Artemis is docked, looks around for Chief Lizol.::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Thinking of the nanites, feeling a little guilty herself::  CO: They did keep the nanites yes...but everything that happened, was an unfortunate accident...

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@::spots the CEO and walks over:: CEO: Mr. Russel, I presume? ::grins::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: An accident that I can ill afford and you know my stance on the Borg

CEO_Russel says:
@Lizol:  Indeed, are you Chief Lizol?

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@::nods:: CEO: I bet you're eager to get back on board. ::shakes head:: Amazing story, really.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::storms into his quarters and gathers a few things, not bothering to change out of his uniform, slings his bag over his shoulder, tucks his tricorder and phaser in the pouches and secures them and heads out towards the docking ring, ratings scurrying out of the Caitian's way::

CEO_Russel says:
@::sighs.::  Lizol:  Yes, I can hardly believe it myself.

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Sozor is a StarFleet officer...if you ordered him not to salvage Borg technology, he would know better...

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@CEO: Well, let's get you and your mean suited up and in there. I'm not real familiar with the Steamrunners anyway. ::starts handing them some protective suits to put on::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: A child in a candy store more like it

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, alpha and beta shifts are moving the equipment to the temporary quarters on the SB

CEO_Russel says:
@::Grabs a suit and puts it on.  The EOs do the same.::  Lizol:  Do we have any specific orders?

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@CEO: Just a standard hotsweep. One section at a time, one deck at a time, portable field generators and incinerators. The usual.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Teasley, you may take your leave once all of Alpha and Beta is off the ship

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Understood sir

CEO_Russel says:
@::nods.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::signs out of the ship, giving the duty Security team both murderous glares before exiting onto the station and heading for that noisy bar::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: Once the derelicts arrive, he'll have more things to do than he can handle

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@::looks around at the teams:: ALL: You guys ready? ::watches them nod:: Let's get started, then. ::turns on the perimeter field in the docking area, then opens the airlock::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: When you have the chance, talk to Sozor about your concerns...it would help I think.  But maybe give him some time...

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
ACTION: The first tug arrives, with a fairly new Hydran destroyer.

CEO_Russel says:
@::Follows Lizol to the airlock.  Smiling broadly.::

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
@::stops outside the bar and taps his com-badge:: *SBOPS*: Lieutenant Sozorstennaj to Ops. How long beforrre we will be able to join the derrrelict inspection teams?

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@::quickly finds the first Borg pieces on a control panel, grabs a plasma cutter and roughly cuts out the section of the bulkhead with the panel and feeds it into the incinerator::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: I will need to see you at your convenience. Maybe after you have a chance to look the derelicts over

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@<SBOPS> *CSO*: They're assembling in cargo bay two, using the cargo transporters. You're welcome to join them there.

FCO_Teasley says:
::checks crew manifest::

CEO_Russel says:
@::Moves past Lizol to another panel with Borg tech on it.  Cuts it off with a plasma cutter, hands to a tech who throws it into the incinerator.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CNS: You better get your gear and take your leave Hali

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@::watches with satisfaction as the teams efficiently set up screens, find Borg hardware, and remove it, sweeping slowly through the deck::

CTO_TRel says:
::finishes up scans and secures TAC station::

CEO_Russel says:
@::sighs as he knows he's still a long way from seeing ME.::

CNS_Farrel says:
CO: Alright, see you later sir.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
@ *SBOPS*: Acknowledged. ::switches channels, voice about as cold and raspy as he can manage without lapsing into his own language:: *CO*: Aye, aye, _sirrr_. The firrrst derrrelicts have just arrrrrived. Does the Captain have any specific time frrrame in mind?

CTO_TRel says:
CO: Sir, request permission to leave the bridge for starbase.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: When you get the chance to cool off. I want to tell you why I made the decision I did

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
ACTION: A second tug arrives, with a 70-year old Bird of Prey.

CTO_TRel says:
::hands PADD of log notes to TO::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Grab your gear first and you may disembark Mr. T'Rel

CTO_TRel says:
CO: Thank you, sir.

CTO_TRel says:
::is relieved at station by TO and exits the bridge::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles:: CTO: you are very welcome

CNS_Farrel says:
::Enters the TL, heading for her quarters::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: How is the disembarking coming along Mr. Teasley?

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
@::Rumbles like a Vor'cha coming out of Warp:: *CO*: I'm surrre that's not necessarrry to a juniorrr officerrr, _sirrr_. I will speak to you again afterrr I have seen to the derrrelicts. Sozorstennaj, clearrr. ::closes channel::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: The beta shift has almost finished departing, there's still a few alphas left

CEO_Russel says:
@Lizol:  I can't wait to feel her engines running again.

CTO_TRel says:
::enters TL and instructs it to go to deck 5.::

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
ACTION: A third tug shows up accompanied by a Gorn freighter.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
@::storms off towards the Cargo Bays::

CNS_Farrel says:
::Nods at TRel as she enters the TL::  CTO: I don't think we've been introduced, I’m Counselor Hali Farrel

Host Cmdr_Lizol says:
@::smiles back at the CEO:: CEO: We'll get them going sooner than you think.

CSO_Sozorstennaj says:
@::checks in with the duty officer at the Cargo Bays and joins the party heading over to the Bird of Prey::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Good, then I want you off this ship, understood? ::smiles::

CTO_TRel says:
CNS: Nice to meet you Counselor. I am Lt. j. g. T'Rel.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Understood sir
