SC_Capt_Marek says:
::paces around wondering what is taking so long to the flight crew to have the shuttle ready::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: According to the data we have available, it looks like the Albus are ready apart from the support craft, Captain.
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
@ :: drops the runabout out of warp and makes his approach to DS-102 ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: That is good news. The sooner we make this, the better.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: This was my first First Contact, Captain. Do they always have such interesting twists?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::making final adjustments to the shuttle along with the Flight Control team on duty::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
@ COM: DS102: This is Chief Snathe on board the Tungsten. Requesting permission to dock.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
FO_Strong: Ensign, is that extra gear they wanted installed all there now?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: ::raises an eyebrow:: If they hadn't such ... what you call, "interesting" twist... we wouldn't mind seeking out new life out there, don't you think?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::watching as the final preparations are made::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: I notice you are really quiet Counselor. Something worries you?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Excellent. This was a great foot wetting session. No, that isn't the right way to say that...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: No Captain ::smiles:: just enjoying the feelings that I'm sensing. 
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
@ ::brings the runabout to a stop waiting for clearance from station ops ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Still sensing that joy feeling?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: Yes, Sir and now there is anticipation. They are really looking forward to this.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<FO_Strong> FCO: Sir, yes, we got it all done and we're running the diagnostics to ensure optimum functionality.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
FO_Strong: Good to hear, as I'm sure the Commander will appreciate hearing as well
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
<Station Ops> COM: Snathe: You're cleared to dock at Bay 12.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<FO_Strong> FCO: Yes, I'm sure he will, Sir.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Pulls out PADD and links into station sensor grid, ensuring that the proper EM and Subspace fields are being monitored to get a good view of the Albus "System Operation" when they do depart.:: CNS: Is that from them or from us, Commander? I mean, I know I for one am enjoying this opportunity and am anticipating the scans of the beings departure
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
@ :: engages thrusters and docks the runabout ::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::chuckles:: CSO: From all around, it is stronger from the Albus, but it’s from all sides.
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: grabs his duffle and heads out the airlock ::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Takes PADD and slightly alters the sensor target area, looking to see the effect of the Albus starting their Warp fields on surrounding space and how focused their fields are.::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: looks down the corridor and takes in a deep breath ::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: under breath :: So far away from home...
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::exits the shuttle with his team and reports to the Station Commander::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO/CNS/FCO: Very well, I think our job is done here. We should return to our normal activities. And frankly, ::lowers his voice:: I am eager to change this dress uniform and return to normal fatigue dress...
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Sir, my team has all that extra gear in and is doing final diagnostics. It should be ready when the Ambassador is ready to depart.
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: heads down the corridor to an LCARS interface panel ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Acknowledged that, Ensign.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Aye Captain. Um, is it a bad time to ask what "normal" is around here? We've been dealing with the Albus since about 5 minutes after my arrival on station. Get to take a look at my department and such now?
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: uses the interface to locate his quarters :: Should probably drop this duffle off before reporting in...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: ::nods:: Fortunately for us, you will discover, that nothing should be consider "normal" around here. And please, proceed to check you department, Ensign.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::motions to the Docking Bay door:: All: Very well, it is on the hands of our skilled diplomats now. Return to your assign duties as soon as the shuttle departures.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Aye Captain. Situation normal is situation abnormal, understood. I will go to get a closer look at things then.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC/CSO: It's good to see them off and happy.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Yes it is, Commander. And getting our data off their departure is like frosting on the donut.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Yes, I'm sure that's true. 
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: steps into a turbolift :: Computer, Level 12.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Indeed, Commander. Despite my initial suspicions sincere hope this encounter turned out very well. Quoting some old Earth XX Century film: I hope this is the beginning of a long friendship.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: It looks like it will be. 
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::heads over to one of the diagnosticians to see how it's going::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: gets off the turbolift at level 12 and follows the corridor to his quarters ::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC/ CNS: Very well, with your permission I will move on to other duties. If you need me, I'm certain you know how to find me.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::nods to the CNS::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Proceed.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I will be at Main Operations as soon as I change my uniform. ::heads for the nearest turbolift::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: enters his quarters and looks around... drops his duffle and takes a moment to steady his thoughts ::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Nods and turns, heading for the nearest turbolift.:: Self: Labs first, I can review the crew files shortly after. I have to at least learn where the departments run, though, before I learn their names better.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: SC: Understood, Captain. ::follows the others out thinking it is time to change and check on her son::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the turbolift and directs it to Living Quarters Level::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Steps into the turbolift, then glances down.:: Self: Oh, maybe the uniform change first. TL: Deck 12, section 17. ::Checks PADD.:: Wait, section 16.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::takes the lift down to her quarters and heads for her room::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: makes sure his uniform is proper :: I may only be an Ensign but I am the Chief.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Exits turbolift.:: Self: I'm a Scientist for bath's sake. You'd think I'd be able to remember where my assigned quarters are. I've been there once.
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: steps out of his quarters and heads back to the turbolift ::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::receives a notification of a shuttle arriving with the new Chief of Engineering aboard and thinks to self - "Finally, somebody who knows how to fix stuff."::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::looks into her closet debating on uniform, exercise garb or casual:: 
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives to his quarters, changes his uniform, and then heads out to Main Operations, knowing that numerous things are waiting for him to take care of them::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::decides to dress for a workout and packs something casual for after...then goes to pick up Y'try'gy'n on her way to the gym::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Enters quarters, then starts shuffling the bags around.:: Self: Ah, there they are. I guess I could have put on the one I've been wearing, but I need to see which one looks best. ::Gets changed, then grabs PADD and walks out the door.::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: hops on the turbolift :: Computer... take me to station operations... level 8.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::enters the gym and shows Y'try'gy'n how to stretch and then goes through a set herself::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:; arrives on level 8 and steps out... takes a moment to look around Operations and take it all in ::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Enters turbolift.:: TL: Deck 35. ::Takes a quick look at the scans from the Albus.:: Self: Not bad focus, their systems are pretty efficient.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the turbolift: Computer: Main Operations.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::once the two are warmed up, she takes him over to play with a small exercise ball and running laps around the room::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: doesn't see the Captain in Ops ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives at Main Operations Level, exits the turbolift, and after nodding the officer there, heads to the center of the room::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Report
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices a new face among the crew::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Glances down.:: Trix: No, I didn't get stuck down in the bowels. It's a Space Station, up and down are relative. This is a great opportunity. Smart worm...
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: oops... spots the Captain striding to the center of Ops ::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
CO: Sir, Chief Engineer Snathe reporting for duty. ::stands at attention ::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Exit's turbolift and walks to the first lab.:: Self: Astrophysics, good place to start given our role as explorers I guess.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Ensign, I think we haven't been formally introduced. ::offers hand:: Very well, you are the man who finally will fix the turbolifts in my Station and made them be as fast as they should be.
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: shakes the CO's hand :: CO: How fast did you want them to go, sir?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
AOPS: Lieutenant, inform to the rest of the crew of the arrival of our new Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Snathe.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: I will explain about that joke later. Glad to have you aboard Ensign. Have you met anyone from your Staff?
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
:: fingers his singular pip... unsure whether he should correct the Captain ::
CEO_Ens_Snathe says:
CO: Not as yet, sir. I'll be heading there straight-away.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
AOPS: I correct my mistake... Inform the Staff that Ensign Snathe, has arrived.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::trips over the ball that Y'try'gy'n kicked toward her and lands on her backside...Y'try'gy'n giggling like crazy::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AOPS> SC: Aye, Sir ::Thinks:: The old man certainly needs glasses... ::shakes his head::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Lab crew: Greetings, Ensign Vertan Trix, your new Chief. Pleasure to meet you all. Wow, is that a Type VII signal inverter? And it works?!
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
<Lab Tech> CSO: Uh, greetings Chief. And yes, it works. Usually.
