Host Gerry says:
Previously on DS102:

The crew has just arrived in orbit of Wonderspace, and repairs to key systems of the Griswald's shuttle are continuing. The Griswald family and the CNS are off on the holodeck enjoying a time on a beach on Delta IV

People are about to embark on their shore leave...

Now what? Let's find out!

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::notes the fine job the new Flight Officer did getting the ship into a tight orbit::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Nice job Ensign.
SC_Marek says:
FCO: The ship's paint is still intact! ::smirks::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::On the Bridge, giving last minute instructions to the relief tactical officer:: Relief TO: I don't expect any problems but should any occur, you can reach me on the comm.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::keeping an eye on her console::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Smiles.:: XO: Why thank you.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: See, I take care of my ships! ::Smirk.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Chief, a minute?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in his ready room ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up as the XO speaks to her:: XO: Of course, Sir. ::Walks over to his position:: XO: Sir?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Safe to assume you've got your security details set up so we can rotate the crew down to the park and maintain a minimal crew aboard?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Sets down his report on the SC and grabs his gear for the planet::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Yes, Sir. Everything has been scheduled.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: And of course, give your people a chance to get some downtime as well?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Excellent.... and most importantly, you as well?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walk out to the bridge ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Yes, I'll be going down in the second group.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Status Commander?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: The first group is ready to beam down, Sir.
SC_Marek says:
::nods to the CO::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Captain, we are in a stationary geosynchronous standard parking orbit. I've put together a schedule for crew to rotate down to the park, and security has done the same
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Are we allowed to beam there or are we using the shuttle?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Perks his ears at the mention of a shuttle.:: Self: Please...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: We'll maintain a skeleton crew aboard the ship, but at a heightened alert status. Of course, all command staff will need to be monitored down on the surface, just in case something critical comes up.
SC_Marek says:
CO/XO: A shuttle... The old fashioned way, sort to speak
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Both are available Sir
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Under his breath.:: Self: Yes!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Waits for the CO to give the green light for the first group to beam down to the surface::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::notices the CTO waiting for the sign from the Captain::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Sir, I think some of the crew is anxious to get going....
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: All right, you can order the stations to be powered down and start your shore leave schedule
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Whispers.:: CSO: Shuttle time! ::Big, sheepish smile.::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::perks ears and whispers back:: FCO: Oh no!.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Sir? The first group is ready to beam down to the surface.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::moves to the comm to notify the crew:: All: Attention all decks, All crew assigned for the first rotation to Wonderspace, report to transporter rooms and shuttles. Crew remaining aboard, we are at alert status while we go to a skeleton crew, so look smart. Bridge out!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Sir, we are just under Yellow Alert status.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps her combadge:: Transporter Room One: Ryan to transporter room one... let 'er rip, Chief!
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Tell them to have a good time
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The first group beams to the surface...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (Transporter.wav)
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: If you'll excuse me, I have to get my gear and beam down to the surface. I'm going mountain climbing. Care to join in?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Chuckles and whispers again.:: CSO: 'Let 'er rip.'
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::shakes her head and rolls her eyes::
SC_Marek says:
CO: If you allow me, sir, I will be on my way down to the surface. ::nods::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Thanks for the invite Chief, but I've got a pet project I've wanted to get to down in the shuttle bay.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Have a good time
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Leaves his office and heads for the turbolift::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Right, Sir. ::Walks into the turbolift and heads for her quarters. ::
SC_Marek says:
CO: ::nods:: You too, Captain.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Speaking of shuttle, the antiquity maintenance is going well I presume?
SC_Marek says:
::heads for the TL::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Yes Sir, in fact, I've wanted to take a closer look at that shuttle. As I come from a long line of ship designers, I'd like the opportunity to check out something with a few parsecs on it
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks a short distance to her quarters. Taps her security code into the pad next to the door and enters when the doors slide open::
SC_Marek says:
*Computer*: Download the facilities brochure to my personal PADD.
SC_Marek says:
::still trying to decide what to do on the surface, maybe something next to a big pool... if there is one::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I guess there is no problem with the ship Executive Officer inspecting the repair works being done on a guest shuttle
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks to the transporter room::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Yes Sir, but it's more like forensic astroarcheology here....
SC_Marek says:
::arrives to his living quarters, grabs his duffle bag, the PADD with the information and heads for Transporter Room 1::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I know, it's just your excuse for poking around if someone ask
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: And besides, Sir, I put myself on the end of the list for going to Wonderspace, So, this'll give me something to do in the meantime.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: If I come across something, I'll get a message to you, if you're available that is......
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::grins broadly::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Changes out of her uniform into mountain climbing attire then puts on her climbing boots.  Dons a belt filled with all manner of mountain climbing hardware. Slips her backpack on then two coils of rope over her shoulders. Heads out of her quarters, jingling and jangling down the corridor headed for transporter room two::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I will take the first shift on the bridge, and I'll be in contact at all times.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::makes sure all the critical stations on the Bridge are covered by personnel and heads for the turbolift:: CO: Okay Sir, but don't skip your rotation to check this place out. As we say, "The Bridge is yours, Sir."
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Turbolift: Transporter room two. ::Adjusts the ropes on her shoulders::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
Transporter chief: Send me to the coordinates of the local casino please,
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Good archeology Commander
SC_Marek says:
::taps on the PADD and finds what he has been looking for::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Oh, Sir, what about the Griswalds? This is their destination as well. Has somebody made sure they will be sent to the park? We can keep the shuttle aboard while repairs "continue," but they need to be taken care of.
SC_Marek says:
::arrives to TR1::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Walks out of the turbolift, turns left and enters transporter room two:: Transporter Chief: Got the coordinates, Chief?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Transporter Chief> CTO: Aye, Commander. Ready when you are.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Steps onto the transporter pad:: Transporter Chief: Energize.
SC_Marek says:
Transporter Officer: Well, this is my destination, right below the planet's equator. ::shows the officer the Coordinates::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: They are with the counselor, on the holodeck I believe, could you tell them on your way down to the shuttle bay?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
@Materializes at the entrance of the gambling hall::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Sir, I'll take care of it.
SC_Marek says:
::steps onto the transport pad:: Transporter Officer:: Energize.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (Transporter.wav)
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Holodeck
SC_Marek says:
<Transporter Officer> SC: Aye, sir. Good luck on the surface. Energizing.... Now. ::pushes the button::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (Transporter.wav)
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Dematerializes and rematerializes at the base of one of the many mountains on the planet. The sun is shining and the wind is calm. Looks around:: Self: Beautiful. ::Drops the ropes on the ground::
SC_Marek says:
@::rematerialize next to big building, in the middle of an exuberant tropical vegetation::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Shimmies her backpack off her back and drops it on the ground::
SC_Marek says:
@::self:: Well, here we go. ::walks towards the entrance::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives near the holodeck the Griswalds were reportedly using and gets off turbolift::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::approaches the holodeck entrance:: Computer: Locate Mr. Griswald within the Holodeck so he can be found quickly.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::pushes a few control buttons and enters the Holodeck::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
<Computer> XO: Acknowledged.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
::looks up at the arch appearing near him::  XO:  Oh, hi!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::admires the ongoing program and moves quickly to where the Griswalds should be::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: Mr. Griswald I presume?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
@::Walks to the Dabo table and takes some latinum from his bag::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sits down on a boulder and unzips her backpack. Pulls out a hammer and slides it onto her belt. Pulls out her helmet and puts it on::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
XO:  Yeah, that's me, yeah!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: Sir, we have arrived at Wonderspace and we are ready to beam you and your family down while Engineering continues the final repairs to your shuttle.
SC_Marek says:
@::sees and empty chair next to the pool border and heads towards it::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Zips her backpack closed then puts the ropes back onto her shoulders::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: I'm sure your kids will enjoy the treat if they've never used transporters before.... Oh, I assume you and your wife have at one time or another? ::asks quizzically::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
XO:  Oh, yeah, we have, for sure. Not from a starship, but we have used 'em on Earth and to the big space station that orbits above Chicago.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Takes a deep breath then makes her way over to the mountain base and looks for a good place to begin her climb::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: Excellent then. No fears to overcome. We'll transport you direct to the Main Entrance so you can take care of your admissions and so forth. Of course, you are all welcome to continue using your temporary quarters aboard the Scorpius, but please let us know if you make other arrangements so we can get in touch with you when the shuttle is completed...
Host Tom_Griswald says:
XO:  Oh, that's great! Yeah, sure! Well, we all need to get changed and packed to get to the surface though. Can you give us about a half hour? ::smiles::
SC_Marek says:
@::put the duffle bag next to a little table, sits on the comfy chair, and start enjoying something that he wanted to experiment a long ago... a laziness period::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: You got it Sir. I'll accompany you to your quarters and then to the transporter room.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Computer: Arch
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Grips a small protrusion on the cliff face and begins climbing, digging her boot toes into small holes on the rock face::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::watches as the Family Griswald assembles and exits the Holodeck::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
XO:  That's be great. ::shouts to family::  ALL:  Hey everybody! We gotta go! We're here! ::gesticulates wildly to get their attention from a distance::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
::Waits until his wife and kids have left the holodeck ahead of him::  XO:  I want to thank you for all you've done for us with our shuttle.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: Do you happen to know the original date the shuttle was assembled and when you took possession?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: You are most welcome Sir. We are glad to be of service.
Host Tom_Griswald says:
XO:  Well, I know it's a pretty classic model. I think it's about 103 years old. Still had most of the original parts too. We got it about 7 years ago.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Griswald: Fascinating. We've had to replicate a few needed parts and the engineers are working out the compatibilities due to some age differences.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
@::Readies his first bet::
Host Tom_Griswald says:
XO:  Well, whatever you did, you sure save my behind. My family's too. If you ever need any real estate in the Chicago area, you should look up my cousin John. I’ll get a good deal for you.
SC_Marek says:
@::the sun is hitting his pallid face::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: chuckles:: Griswald: Thank you, I'll be sure to do that.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders to himself what would he do with land on Earth::
