::Enters the briefing room::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Waits for her heart to slow down, feels sorry she knocked over that crewman on her way here::

Host CO_Layrrac says:
@Ops: Make sure our "special cargo is few and safely stored away... wouldn't want the Prudish SFer to get a wif of them....

CSO <w>: You were almost late ::Shakes head::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud:  To the point.  Starfleet has finialized let's say... the home you will now return to.  ::Stands up and walks to the display at the end of the room and presses a button ::

Host Capt_Layrrac says:
@<Ops> Capt: Awwww... ::Walks away mumbling under his breath::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
ACTION: The screen comes alive and shows a new type of station this crew has not seen before.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Turns attention to the admiral::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::Eyes follow::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen.::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO<w>:  Lost track of time

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Eyes narrow::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Smiles at Kar and turn her attention to the screen::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud:  This is the new Buckingham class station.  Right now, she doesn't look like this... in real space she is lacking all of these modules.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Raises eye at Karen's response but keeps her eyes front::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Looks at the screen::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Looks at screen::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud:  However, the base of operations is up and running, or sort of.  Starfleet has considered placing a new staff on the station however we've decided....

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Wonders if this will be their new home::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud: that we would place an experienced command staff back in control of the new station we've built in the area.

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud:  Commander MacLeod...

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  Sir!

Host Capt_Layrrac says:
@FCO: Where are we meeting these Feds anyhow?

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Looks from Admiral Hebert to Cmdr. MacLeod::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud: You are to take command of Avalon Station, SB-103 in the Sagavarian System as of the time you arrive.  You will leave immediately for duty.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  Sir, yes sir!

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Big smiles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Remembers when he was first officer under the then Captain Michael Hebert.::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
All: Everyone, your current orders are to get that station running.  God knows your engineering staff is going to have fun or maybe not.

Host Capt_Layrrac says:
@<FCO> We are bound for station 51 ...sir

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Grimaces, knowing the 'not' is probably correct::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Scruitinizes the station, thinking its not that attractive::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Looks around room for others' reactions::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::Almost thought we all going to be reassigned.::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
All: Questions?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Wonders what Sickbay is like, will have to call up the plans::

Host Capt_Layrrac says:
@<FCO> We are stopping by Starbase 51 to pick up a new crew for the station on the way.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
RADM:  What is the station's current population capacity?

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::Downloads the station specs to his PADD, looks through them::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Looks at Steph and Kar.....considers smacking Steph....smiles with Kar::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
XO: Skelleton as best.  Possibly just Starfleet Corp Staff and Engineering staff... most of the main starbase staff will be arriving right before you do.

Host Capt_Layrrac says:
@<FCO> Capt: Excuse me sir... I had that backwards... we are stopping by Station 51 to pick up crew for Avalon

Host RADM_Hebert says:
All: Oh yea... almost forgot.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Takes Nova's hand and holds it.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Smiles at Yanis::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Hopes the bear can get his own quarters, lord knows she's tried of sharing::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Looks attentatively at RADM::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
All:  ::Chuckles ::  Since most of our ships are away on duty and actually most of our ships in the entire sector includding runabouts are busy elsewhere... we are employing a freighter to take you to Avalon.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Blinks - what about Hydra?::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Frowns at the RADM's words::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
All:  Since the USS Hydra will be in drydock here under repair, you are to report to the S.S. Dark  Dwarf once she arrives.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  Sir...  The Hydra is...

Host RADM_Hebert says:
CO: The Hydra is looking at least of 3 months of refit, maybe more.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::Rolls eyes, just what we deserve, a freighter::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Shakes head, not ready to give up Hydra::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Whispers in Nova's ear.::  CNS:  How long do you think this new Station of ours is going to last?

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  Yes sir.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO/SO: <w>  Dark Dwarf?

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud: Anything anyone?

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
ADMR:  When will the civillian population be allowed to come to the station?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: <w> A fitting name, don't you think?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Smiles:: OPS<w>: A year,

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Smiles at EO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Smiles at Nova and pays attention to Admiral Hebert again.::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Wrinkles nose:: CSO/EO: <w> Eww....no.

Host RADM_Hebert says:
XO: Well, civilian population from the current sector has already started to rise, however the station will be open again for traffic purposing, etc. as soon as Commander MacLeod deems fit.

Capt_Layrrac says:
@<FCO>Capt: We have the station on screen now

Host RADM_Hebert says:
CO: However, Starfleet hopes Avalon will be up and operational in no time, right Commander MacLeod?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO/SO: <w> We could have Hydra ready in half that time, if they let us continue working on her.  ::sighs at the waste::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  We won't let you down, Admiral.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::fidgets in her seat::

Capt_Layrrac says:
@::Looks around and sees Ops has returned:: OPS: Hail the station. Request docking clearance

@<OPS> Station 51: This is the USS Dark Dwarf requesting permission to dock

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::hides a smirk::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::looks at the EO then looks down and smiles::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::nods to the EO and flashes a grin toward the CSO::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::looks at the ceiling, counting the tiles::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
:: nods to the EO ::  Aloud: Very well, then if that is all, I would say the freighter should be here and are ready to take y'all, to y'all new home.  :: using the all to familiar y'all from his cajun accent ::

Capt_Layrrac says:
@::Fidgets as he waits for clearance::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
<OPS> COMM: Dark Dwarf: You have been cleared for dock, please release remote piloting at this time.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing thinks:  ::I bet our engineering staff could get Hydra up and running in that time::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::looks at Yanis::

Host RADM_Hebert says:

Host RADM_Hebert says:
Aloud: Dismissed.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
SO: <w> Did you bring a PADD?

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::stands and quickly vacates the briefing room::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
CO: The USS Crazywolf has failed in its mission also.  No base or anything of any operations were found in Mega Xandu.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::stands as all are dismissed::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::stands as they are dismissed:: CSO/SO: Ready to head out? We should get ready.

Host RADM_Hebert says:
ACTION: The Dark Dwarf comes to a gentle dock with the ease of the computer.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  That is unfortunate

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: <w> Yes. ::pulls one from her pocket and hands it to the CSO::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Hebert:  What are our options now?

Host RADM_Hebert says:
:: nods :: CO: We hoped for better.  That means these rogues are tricker than we thought.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
OPS: I'm not sure

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::comm's the Hydra's medical staff to prepare to board the Dark Dwarf. in 30 minutes::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
SO:  Thanks.  In my rush to leave my quarters I forgot mine.  May I?

Capt_Layrrac says:
::breaths again:: FCO: I hate depending on machines to do the docking....

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Gestures to get PADD::

Host RADM_Hebert says:
CO: Your options are to work and take Avalon into a new beginning, which I know you can do... ours?  uncertain.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: What're you doing?  ::watches Karen gesturing with the PADD::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: Sure Kar, no problem.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CNS:  Let's go see Commander Rushing and see what she wants us to do.

Host RADM_Hebert says:

::wakes Lawrence and the pair head to docking airlock 5.::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::reaches the first billet, an open doorway, light flickers as I look inside::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Nods.::  Capt:  I will notify you when everyone and everything is aboard.  ::Turns and re-enters the turbolift.::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::pulls back on the leash. Snowpaws seems to be ready to jump ship from the smell::

Capt_Layrrac says:
OPS: Oh... and invite your commander to visit... that is all

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
EO: I have no idea. Seems to be standard procedure though. ::brushes hair out of her face and smiles::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::walks to the docking bay, hoping that her child and mother in law would join them soon, she reaches the bay doors and opens them and walks on::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::finds her name on the list and the billet number, she follows directions to her temp quarters::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::walks out of the lift as soon as the doors open:: SO: Maybe Starfleet should work on its time-management skills.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::has Lawrence hurry some since he is still groggy from napping::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::can't wait to put these bags down::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::sees a Cardassian swamp rat making a home on the bed::

Capt_Layrrac says:
::slams his fist on a com button:: Chief! Make sure that cargo is safely stowed! I want to leave here as soon as the last item is aboard.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::opens door to billet slowly, reaching for the lights::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::looks for someone to get directions from, thanks them and head to her quarters::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::the two bags she is carrying starts to strain her arms.::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::giggles as she exits the TL:: EO: I suppose you may be right.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Waits until the lift stops and then looks around for Commander MacLeod.::  Computer:  Where is Commander Angus MacLeod?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::sees a line ahead and hurries forward:: SO: This is it.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Self:  Isn't that just quaint.  ::walks into his billet, and shoo's the rat away.  Throws his bags on the bed::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Walks a little further on and finds a crewperson who directs her to a billeting list::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::finds the quarters empty, but the bed isn't made:: Toself: Please let no one else share these quarters with me except::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::heads towards the freighter::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::hurries behind Steph:: EO: Yes, at least we made it in time.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
:::walks in with the wompats in tow and looks around:: Self: Well, it could be worse

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::the two and baggage step aboard the freighter, getting no help from any of its crew::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::follows the queue onto the freighter::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Taps his commbadge.::  *CO*:  Commander, Captain Layrrac would like to see you on his bridge.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Hears SO and turns around relieved::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*OPS*:  On my way Commander.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::closes the door and drops the bags and the leash:: Snowpaws: at ease.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO/SO:  You made it!

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::nods:: CSO: Just barely.  Do you know where we go from here?

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::leaves his billet, and moves to the freighter bridge, looks on, and approaches Layrrac::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::slides down the door to the floor and brings her knees to her chest resting her head on her knees::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::ties the wompats to dresser and starts to look over the rather small acomadations::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO:  Just about to find that out now.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Has a crewmember tell him that everyone and everything is aboard.::  *Layrrac*:  I've just been informed that all personnel and belongings are onboard.

Capt_Layrrac says:
FCO: All board... stand by tyo make way... Ops: get us clearance to depart....

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  Captain?

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO/SO:  I have a feeling we're not going to get plush quarters.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::stands with the EO and CSO, waiting::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::finds a crewman standing with a padd as if bored to tears and gets her quarter assignment from him::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: Does someone have the assignments?

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO:  There's a billeting list that everyone is checking.

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: Waves:: Have a seat.... we will be underway in a miment and we can chat...

Host SM_Hebert says:
ACTION: Starbase 51 hails the freighter and clears them for departure while bidding both crews a fond and safe farewell.  The latches release and the SS Dark Dwarf is now floating freely.

Capt_Layrrac says:
<OPS> Requesting permission to depart.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
LAyrrac:  Right

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::this freighter reminds her of when she was captured by the Orions long ago while in the Academy.....she has a bad feeling about this::

Capt_Layrrac says:
FCO: Take us out... best speed

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::hears a beep at the door and goes over and opens it, the steward hands him her cats carrier and brings in the rest of the boxes::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::walks over to the list and looks for their names:: CSO/SO: This can't be right.  ::points::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Feels the freighter move::  EO/SO:  I guess we're under way already.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
EO:  What?

Capt_Layrrac says:
::turns to the CO: Now, perhaps you will join me in my RR for a small libation?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Walks down a hallway, looking for where Nova is located.::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  Certainly.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::the steward leaves, leaving behind 5 boxes, Nova sighs and sits on the bed::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::finds her quarters down a foul smelling corridor::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Looks impatiently at EO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Knocks on Nova's door.::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: Don't give me that look. Look!  ::points at the list::

Capt_Layrrac says:
::leads th CO into his RR and pours him a large glass of Scotch:: CO you want ice?

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::her head begins to throb, the bear walks over and cuddles against Victoria as she sits on the floor with her back to the door::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
OPS: COme

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  No thanks, scotch I take neet

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Enters her room.::  CNS:  Hmmm.. pretty small.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
:;she places her arms around the bear's neck cuddling back::

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: I believe we will reach the Sagavarioan sector in about 12 hours at our current speed of wap 5

Capt_Layrrac says:
::hands him the scotch::

Host SM_Hebert says:
ACTION: The Freighter on its pre-determined course accelerates to Warp 5 heading towards Sagav.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::looks at him:: OPS: two hours ago everything was normal ::smiles::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Looks::   EO:  Four to a room!  I don't think Victoria is going to like this.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  understood.  ::takes the glass:: I wouldn't have expected a Cardassian to have scotch on board

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::opens the door to her quarters to find only one bed.::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::sighs slowly, as she relaxes and falls asleep leaning against the bear::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::and a small one at that::

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: When you haul things for a living you tend to develop a taste for the nicer of them.... If you are interrested I may be able to russle up a bit of more.... personal entertainm,ent for you.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::looks confused:: CSO: Where?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Smiles at Nova.::  CNS:  Well we will just have to make due with what we have.  We're both going to have our hands full on this new station.. You counselling the crew about going to a new station and me.. well i'm going to be looking up things about station operations.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::plans to complain to whomever dished out these quarters.::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO/SO: It has to be a mistake.  They wouldn't put us with a Lieutenant.

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  Thats all-right, I have my own source for fine whisky.  ::downs the drink::  Mmmmm, not bad.  This is from Earth

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
EO/CSO: Maybe we should go and ask her??

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: Of course it is... Notice the peaty taste? From the Glenlivit distileries

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
SO:  You first.  ::Laughs::

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::Lawrence climbs on the small bed and goes back to sleep::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::nods:: SO/CSO: Yeah, and we'll let Karen do the talking.  She Is a Chief, right?  ::grins::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::smiles at him and gets up letting the cat out and the wompats off their leashes::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::grimaces::  EO/SO:  OK, chickens.  ::Heads towards billeted quarters::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Crouches down and pets his wompats on the head as they scurry around the small room.::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  Smooth as glass...  My family hails from the Isle of Skye, the taste from our scotch is...  Very similar

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
EO: Absoutley! ::grins at Kar.::

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: Your tastes in personal entertianment don't run to the .... exotic?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::laughs as she follows Karen::

Capt_Layrrac says:
::hopeing he might sell some of his hidden cargo::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::follows along::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::a slight snore escapes her lips::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  Depends what you mean by "exotic".  ::grins::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Arrives at quarters listed with EO and SO in tow and pauses::

Capt_Layrrac says:
::Grins:: CO: I think I could make you turn green perhaps... ::leers::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: Go ahead.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
::Chimes::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  Is that a challenge?

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: Yes go ahead ::watches Karen chime::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::snuggles deeper into Snowpaws fir::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::lays down on the bed:: OPS: How long till we get there?

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: So.... you might be interrested in some OSG perhaps?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: Chime louder.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::unpacks only what will be needed on their journey to the new Avalon Station.::

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
Self:  Oh this is rediculous.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::hears a chime and slowly wakes up::

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  O-S-G?  

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::stands holding onto the door:: Shouts: Who is it?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Sits down beside Nova.::  CNS:  I'm not sure.  ::Looks down at a PADD he is carrying.::  About twelve hours.  Have you ever seen a Sagavarian up close?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CMO: It's us ::shouts back::

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: Orion Slave Girls... Of course..... I would have to take some time finding them..... ::elboes the CO

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
OPS: nope

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::cracks the door:: EO: What do you want?

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  You are carrying Orion Slave Girls?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CNS:  Me neither.  I heard that they could really fly with their wings.  I'd like to see that... ::Smirks::  Bi-pedal humanoids with the ability to fly.  Incredible.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::Kriss sits in the small chair and nods off a little::

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: Who Me? :;innocence:: Never.... But I just might be able to aquire one for you...

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
CMO:  Surprise.  We're all assigned the same quarters.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::is tired of carrying bags and wants to rest.....why is this such a problem::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::puts a hand on Yanis thigh:: OPS: yep, goodness knows when you tried you couldn't

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::nods in agreement, waiting to enter the temporary quarters::

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::looks as the CSO, EO and SO stand outside her door:: CSO: you're what? There is only one bunk in here and a bear........we're sharing?

Host CO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Layrrac:  You do know of course, that transporting slaves or any such commodity would be considered illegal by the Federtion.

CSO_Ens_Foster says:
CMO:  I guess it's going to be cozy then.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Laughs::  CNS:  It only feels like i'm flying after a great night with you.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CMO: Yes, ma'am.  That's what the list said.

CMO_Lt_Victoria_Slater says:
::groans and admits the group:: To self:: welcome ladies, to hell night.

Capt_Layrrac says:
CO: Of course Captain... I know that... ::dissaponted:: I would never.... I meerly wondered if you would be interrested.... ::mutters:: Darn prude::

Host SM_Hebert says:
Ending Summary:  Twelve hours of UNEVENTFUL time pass for this small freighter warping through space.  Besides the rattles, the bumps, the jolts, and loud screeching from time to time, the ride is very 'smooth.'  At last, the word is out.  Sagav sector, approaching Avalon Station Orbit.  In the viewscreen, out a window, whereever, the crew can see...

Host SM_Hebert says:
A beautiful new station, shining, but not many lights on... with ships swirrling all around it.  Bees working on the hull, and the occiasional spark.

Host SM_Hebert says:
Journeys of course are sure to begin from here, and a road which has been hard for the Avalon crew, the rouges without a home... has ended.

Host SM_Hebert says:
They've come home.
