CSO_Tarrez says:
::exits the ready room and heads towards SCI1::
Host CO_Lynam says:
::In Ready Room, staring out at the stars::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
::waiting in ready room for the Captain to speak::
SO_Roy says:
::follows the CSO::
CMO_Lea says:
::First out onto the bridge, and heads immediately to the turbolift::
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Ok now for the boring part. ::throws a grin back at her::
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: Commander....K’Beth, I am not sure how to tell you this, so I will just say it.  I will be leaving the Delphyne when we reach Starbase 80.  ::Turns and looks at her::
CEO_Merna says:
::Sits in his office compiling the report for Sector Command.:: Self: I also analyzed their computer systems, components and construction.  Then I checked their available materials and designed a shielding system that could be easily installed around their computer systems and networks. ::Taps away at his console.::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Boring part? I have done a lot of that lately!
CEO_Merna says:
::Pauses to talk to an Engineer about a question for their resupplying.  Then goes back to filing his report.::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
::looks for a moment at the Captain and then sits blindly down in the chair next to her:: CO: Is there something wrong?
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: I didn't tell any of you because I have been to too many send off parties.  All the nice words and sentiments and then everyone ends up crying in their synthehol.  However, this puts you in a difficult position...
CSO_Tarrez says:
::arrives at SCI 1 and activates the console:: SO: ::laughing:: I know you love the AT missions.  I will see if I can do something about that in the future.
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: I have been thinking a lot lately, and despite the pact that August and I made with each other...Starfleet comes first.  We both know that it never has...and never will.  Now, I have a family.  And that must come first.
CMO_Lea says:
::Speaks over to Sykora:: CSO: I'll join you briefly. I need another piece of information I left in sickbay.  ::Enters the turbolift::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: It's okay. I know analyzing data is a huge part of our position. And I did choose to be a scientist. ::sits at SCI 2::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::nods and watches the CMO leave::
CEO_Merna says:
::Checks over his report for sector command and then goes back to insert a part about adding maintenance procedures for the recommended shielding systems.:: Self: Can't for get that...  ::Sighs and then has another Engineer go over his report to make sure he didn't leave anything out.::
CMO_Lea says:
Turbolift: Deck seven.
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CO: Well, I can understand that. ::gets up and walks over to him:: I never saw much of my father when I was very little.
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Looks over Kodar's report.:: CEO: Looks good so far. ::Watches Kodar head out to ME proper then goes back to checking it.::
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: Precisely.  I want to be there when Spencer talks, and walks and does all those baby things I hear proud parents speak of.  And I can't do that if I am off on the Cardassian border.
CEO_Merna says:
::Heads to the warp core and watches it's pulsations, and listens to the calming quite noise it's making and sighs with content.::
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: And I can't take them with me.  It isn't fair.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: So I guess my first task now should be scanning.
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CO: That must have been a hard decision to make.
CMO_Lea says:
::Steps out of the turbolift into a deathly empty corridor and makes her way down it to sickbay::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Corrects one misspelling and then walks to Kodar with it.  Hands him the PADD.:: CEO: Just one misspelling sir. ::Smiles.::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::pulls up the information about the virus and looks pleased:: SO: Yes probably so.  By the way you did a wonderful job of organizing all this data.
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: You have no idea.  Especially now that we are short handed and you and Tarrez are so new to the jobs.
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: I feel that I am not being fair to you two either.  And that bothers me...a lot.  ::Looks down for a moment::
CEO_Merna says:
::Turns to EO Jo and smiles, then nods.:: EO: Thanks Jo... Been working on that for a bit now.  ::Takes the PADD and looks it over.::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Thank you. May I ask a personal question?
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Nods and heads back to the Master Situation Display, making sure everything is fine and dandy for their docking at Starbase.  Hums a tune to himself.::
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Sure. ::starts to compress the virus data::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CO: ::chuckles:: Don't let that bother you.  We've got a good crew and we seem to weather any and all that is thrown at us.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Well... you are part Betazoid right?
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CO: But Merna is going to be upset having to make a new name plate again for the ready room and the captain's quarters... ::grins::
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: I know.  ::Puts his hand on her shoulder::  And that is the main reason I decided to go.  Because I knew you could handle it.
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Yes I am.  My father was from Betazed. ::cringes slightly as she thinks about him::
CMO_Lea says:
::Walk in and listens for any movement, quite certain Rynle should be on-duty, faithfully as ever::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Do you have good empath or telepath abilities? ::initiates scans::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Walks over to the docking systems console.  Runs a last minute diagnostic on its systems.:: Self: Last check. ::Taps away at the controls and then waits for the readouts.::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CO: With praise like that...how can we go wrong ::smiles:: But you will be missed and you do know that they will have a send-off party even if you aren't there. ::grins even bigger::
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Well I have empathic abilities but I would consider them weak... except of course when it comes to Kodar. ::smiles::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Okay.... thanks.... ::looks at the scanning results::
CMO_Lea says:
::Finally finds her, working in the storage closet:: Rynle: Nurse?  ::Hoping not to startle her, coming up from behind as she did::
CEO_Merna says:
*CSO*: Sykora?  I've finished my report on the servicing and upgrading of the Spadorian's computer systems.  We're suppose to compile all of our reports together in one neat bundle... Engineering, Science and Medical reports...  Should I come up or you have a better idea? ::Smiles.::
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Why do you ask?
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: ::Smiles:: I know.  And I have two things to do before I go.  First, you will be acting CO until a new one is assigned.  I have done what I could for you in that regard.  ::Takes the pips off his collar::  XO: August gave me these when I became Captain, now I give them to you.  At least three of them.  Congratulations  Commander.
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Smiles and heads back to the console, still humming the tune.:: Self: We're off to see the wizard...  The wonderful wizard of Oz...
SO_Roy says:
CSO: It's just that I am a species of my own... a full Betazoid that used her abilities so long ago that I am not really capable of sensing and hearing things anymore... I need someone to help me develop them back,
CSO_Tarrez says:
::smiles as she hears Kodar's voice:: *CEO*: I would love to have a better idea but you had better come up here.
CEO_Merna says:
::Giggles.:: *CSO*: Aye sir. ::Smiles.:: I'll be right up.  ::Turns to EO Jo and transfers command of ME to him.  Then heads to the TL.::
CMO_Lea says:
<Rynle> CMO: Yes, Doctor?  ::Still sorting chemicals, unperturbed::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Nods and continues with his tune as he works.::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
::takes the pips and looks at them:: CO: This means a lot to me.  The words thank you don't seem enough.  I am extremely honored to have served with you, Captain Fox Lynam ::straightens up and salutes him::
CMO_Lea says:
Rynle: Do you know where the PADDs that were on the four medical tray were moved?
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Well I am afraid I may not be much help.  After all it took me years to learn to deal with the empathic abilities that I have.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Thank you anyway...
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: But you might try talking to the CMO.
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: And I you.  ::returns the salute formally.::  Perhaps we will serve together again some day.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: I'll remember that, thanks.
CEO_Merna says:
::Enters the TL.:: TL: Bridge. ::Smiles and looks to a crewman, then turns back to the door.::
CEO_Merna says:
*CSO*: Are all the reports ready for transmission to Sector Command? ::Raises his eyebrow wondering if he's late with his report.::
CMO_Lea says:
<Rynle> CMO: They're on your desk in the office, sir.
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CO: ::grins and winks:: Are you sure you can take another round of me? But then, after taking care of a toddler, you could probably handle General K'tarn ::laughs::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Walks over to the warp core and scans it with his tricorder that he never leaves home without.:: Self: Good.. ::Walks around it and continues to scan.::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::finishes the virus data:: SO: There that should do it.  ::turns to look at the SO:: I think we are about done with that report.
CMO_Lea says:
Rynle: Thank you, Rynle.  ::Turns around and moves out of the storage room, and through the doors of her office...Hers again::
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: An apt example.  ::Chuckles::  Now for the last thing.
CSO_Tarrez says:
*CEO*:  Just about.
Host CO_Lynam says:
*CSO / CEO*: Report to the ready room please.
CEO_Merna says:
::Backs up to let another Officer enter.:: *CSO*: Aye. ::Sighs with relief.:: Sorry it took so long.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Scanning results show that we are about 90 minutes from SB 80. I also see two freighters and one frigate near the base.
Host CO_Lynam says:
XO: You may wish to stick around for this.  By the way, whose running the boat out there?
CEO_Merna says:
*CO*: On my way.  ::Exits the TL and enters the bridge.  Heads directly to the Ready Room.::
CMO_Lea says:
::Grabs the PADDs and makes her way into the turbolift again:: Turbolift: Bridge.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::turns to look at the SO:: SO: Very well.  If you will finish editing that report I think we will be done. *CO*: Aye sir.
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Finishes his scanning of the warp core and logs the data in for Kodar to look over, but sees nothing wrong with its current operation and smiles as he continues his humming and singing.::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Aye.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::walks up beside Kodar.::
CMO_Lea says:
<Rynle> ::Continues the most recent inventory::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
::puts on her pips as she waits for the CSO and CEO to arrive:: CO: The AOPS is on duty.  A Lt Cooper who is looking for more bridge time.  He seems very capable.  I told him if he doesn't bump into anything he can do it again.  ::grins::
CEO_Merna says:
::Smiles.:: CSO: Hello.. ::Says a bit teasingly.:: Sir.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: CEO: Any idea what this is about?
CMO_Lea says:
::Steps out onto the bridge and looks around, to see the only officers present are the AOPS, and Ensign Roy::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::walks up to the ready room doors and activates the chime::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Orders a Engineering Monitoring Team to the docking systems.::
SO_Roy says:
::works patiently at her console::
CEO_Merna says:
::Shakes his head.:: CSO: No. ::Stands at the Ready Room doors and waits for the CSO to enter first.:: No idea...
Host CO_Lynam says:
CSO / CEO: Come in!
CMO_Lea says:
::Steps partly around the command center to the Science station Roy is working at:: SO: Hello Ensign.  ::Tilts her head slightly::
CSO_Tarrez says:
:: Takes a deep breath and enters.  Walks in and stands at attention.:: CO: Reporting as ordered sir!
Host CO_Lynam says:
::Goes to a shelf and retrieves an old, printed book.::
SO_Roy says:
CMO: Hello, doctor. How are you?
CEO_Merna says:
::Enters the Ready Room and stands at attention with the PADD still in his hand.:: CO: Reporting as ordered Captain. ::Smiles to the XO.::
Host CO_Lynam says:
CEO / CSO: At ease.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::sees the extra pips on K'Beth neck.:: Self: What is going on here? ::relaxes::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Does a jig while singing.:: Self: We're off to see the wizard... The wonderful Wizard of Oz!
CEO_Merna says:
::Stands at ease and waits for the Captain to speak.::
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Bows as many of the Engineers clap at his performance.::
CMO_Lea says:
SO: Well enough, thanks. I have the medical data on the Spadorian cure, including the molecular make-up of their Sikoya plant, should Starfleet be interested.
Host CO_Lynam says:
CSO / CEO: I will be leaving the Delphyne when we reach SB 80.  However there is one piece of unfinished business between us.  Do to our assignments and bad timing you two are still unmarried.  You once wished for me to do the honors.  I have seen the orders for this ship and I can say you will not be getting married anytime in the future...
CMO_Lea says:
::Sets a PADD on the Science console::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::tries to absorb all that the CO is saying::
SO_Roy says:
CMO: I am sure the information will be appreciated. Thank you.
Host CO_Lynam says:
CEO / CSO: At least by me.  If you wish to do so, I will marry you two now.  You may set up your own ceremony for friends and family at your convenience.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::turns to look at Kodar with a smile on her face::
CEO_Merna says:
::Can't help but to sigh, even though he's tried to suppress it.:: CO: Leaving?  ::Looks to K’Beth with a smile and then to Sykora, then turns his full attention back to the Captain.  Continues a bit saddened.:: Aye sir...
Host CO_Lynam says:
CEO CSO: I know this is short notice, and the choice is yours.  I will not be offended if you wish to wait.
CEO_Merna says:
<EO Jo> ::Bows yet again and then orders everyone back to work.::
CSO_Tarrez says:
CEO: What do you think?
CEO_Merna says:
::Smiles beaming but still a bit saddened that his Captain is leaving.:: CSO: Doesn't matter to me.
Host XO_K’Beth says:
::grins and quietly walks to the replicator:: Computer: A small bouquet of flowers...suitable for a wedding.  ::takes the flowers and holds them behind her back and walks back to the group and waits for their answer::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::turns to the CO and K'Beth:: CO: Then let's do it ::beams::
SO_Roy says:
CMO: I don't know how to ask this but the CSO said I should ask you....
Host CO_Lynam says:
*SO / CMO*: Report to the ready room on the double.
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CSO: Then here you are...I read that a bride has to have one of these things so she can throw it at the people who watch. ::hands the CSO the flowers::
CEO_Merna says:
::Hears her reply to the Captain and sighs softly, turns to her and reaches for her soft hand.::
SO_Roy says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain!
SO_Roy says:
CMO: Well, I'll ask you later....
CMO_Lea says:
SO: Go ahead. ::Nods, then glances up as the captain's voice comes over the comm.  Looks to Roy with a bit of curiosity, and walks over to the ready room::
CEO_Merna says:
::Quickly taps at his PADD ordering EO Jo to get "The Ring" and telling him to get to the Ready Room on the double with it.::

ALL: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, witnessed by the stars to unite this man and woman in Holy wedlock.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::opens her thoughts to Kodar and reaches out to him::
SO_Roy says:
::didn't expect to be at a wedding today::
CEO_Merna says:
::Can't help but to sigh yet again, with love and contentment as he feels Sykora reaching out to him, they link in their way.::
Host CO_Lynam says:
ALL: ::reads from the old book::  Do you, Kodar Reese Merna, take Sykora Tarrez to e your lawfully wedded wife?  To have and to hold, to honor and cherish, for as long as you both shall live?

CMO/SO: I just found out myself.  He wants to spend more time with his family.  It must have been extremely difficult for him to make this decision....
CSO_Tarrez says:
::looks into Kodar's eye::  CEO: I know that we have not talked about this much but if we ever do have kids and one turns out to be a boy... what do you think about calling him Fox.
CMO_Lea says:
XO: When is he leaving the ship?
SO_Roy says:
XO: It's an understandable decision. Family .... it's important...
CSO_Tarrez says:
::grins:: CEO: We will be at SB in a few hours.
CEO_Merna says:
::Nods, smiling.:: CSO: Yes.  Fox Merna. ::Giggles.:: But what if we have girls? ::Gently nudges her.::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
CMO: As soon as we dock.  He didn't want any long farewells, that's why we won't be making a general announcement until just before we dock.
CMO_Lea says:
::Files that information in her mind:: XO: Thanks..  ::Nods thoughtfully::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::giggles:: CEO:  Well I am sure we will think of something.
Host CO_Lynam says:
::Leaves the bridge and heads for his cabin::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
All: Even though he doesn't want any drawn out goodbyes, I want all hands at attention in the corridors when he disembarks.  He is one of the finest Captain's this ship could ever have and we owe him at least that small farewell.
CMO_Lea says:
::Nods to K'Beth then looks to Merna and Sykora::  CEO/CEO: Congratulations, Lieutenants.  ::Smiles a moment, then heads out of the ready room, thoughtful::
CEO_Merna says:
::Turns to the XO with a nod.:: XO: He is sir. ::Doesn't show it much but at least Sykora knows that he loves his Captain.::
Host XO_K’Beth says:
All: Dismissed and...thank you.
CEO_Merna says:
CMO: Thank you.
Host CO_Lynam says:
