CNS_Enki says:
::On the Bridge, in her chair to the left of the Captain's seat::

XO_Tarrez says:
::sits at her station on the bridge ::

CSO_Syrna says:
::at her station on the bridge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge watching the AFCO pull into docking position at Earth Station McKinley:: XO: Inform the station that we are prepared to dock wherever they want us to.

Host Brett says:
INFO: The Delphyne makes its way toward the huge complex called Earth Station McKinley.  Earth shines like a blue marble in the near distance.  The Del is cleared to enter the Station and dock at one of the berths designated for repair work.

XO_Tarrez says:
::informs the station and gets a reply:: CO: We are cleared to dock at Berth 3.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AFCO: Bring us in, Ensign.  Slow and steady.

XO_Tarrez says:
<AFCO> CO: Aye, ma'am. ::heads in slowly::

CSO_Syrna says:
::figures D'von is probably doing last minute corrections to request lists::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne enters the Starbase and slowly glides toward its assigned berth.  Other ships also docked include the USS Deacon (Defiant Class), USS Olympus (Galaxy Class starship), USS Wyatt Earp (New Orleans Class) and the USS Pope (Defiant Class)

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Looks like they're busy.

Host Brett says:
INFO: But, drawing everyone's attention is a giant shape off by itself; surrounded by scaffolding and work lights sits a Sovereign Class vessel, still coated in its base grey paint and devoid of external markings.

XO_Tarrez says:
<AFCO> CO: ::confidently:: Making final approach now, ma'am.

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Wow will you lookie there? ::points to the big ship::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AFCO: Very good Ensign.... ::lets it trail off as she sees the Sovereign class::

CSO_Syrna says:
::notes the different ships berthed there::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: She is a beauty. ::stares at the viewscreen::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grunts a bit as the baby kicks::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits back in her chair:: XO: Wonder who will get that command?

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins and looks her way::  CO: Maybe we will.

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne slides smoothly into her berth and docks with a gentle shudder

CNS_Enki says:
::Listens to the CO and XO's conversation with half an ear::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO: I sort of doubt that, Cmdr.  No I think we'll just have to make do with this old girl for a while longer.  Besides, she hasn't let us down yet. ::grins and nods approvingly at the AFCO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks generally pessimistic Vulcan type thoughts about the probability of the Delphyne crew getting assigned to a new Sovereign::

XO_Tarrez says:
::watches as the Duty OPS begins connects with the station's umbilical cords::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: CO: Well the only way they are getting me off this girl is to give me one of them.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::smiles:: XO: Well in the meantime please see that all departments are squared away for docking protocols.

CSO_Syrna says:
::double checks the list she sent to D'von for supplies::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins:: CO: Aye ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AFCO: You can shut her down, Ensign.  Well done.

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne is finally fully docked and all systems are switched to external power.  The Warp core is shut down and the gangways extended.

CSO_Syrna says:
::is satisfied with her list::

XO_Tarrez says:
::does as told::

XO_Tarrez says:
<AFCO> CO: We are docked, ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sees that everything is set and rises:: XO: I'll be in my ready room.  Inform the crew that shore leave can commence, effective immediately. ::heads into her ready room::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: With pleasure.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles::  *ALL*: This is the XO.  All crew not scheduled for duty this shift may now disembark.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Ma'am, with your permission, I'd like to take a trip to Starfleet Medical.

XO_Tarrez says:
::hears the CNS and double checks the duty rotation:: CNS: I don't see a problem with it.  ::smiles:: Have a good time.

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS/XO: That is an excellent idea, May I also go?

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods her approval::

CNS_Enki says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: You wish to accompany me to Starfleet Medical?  I'm going for business.. I can't promise any amount of fun.

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: Oh? I have heard about someone who is there who has psychological issues... I was hoping that you might get more details.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits down at her desk when she remembers something:: *XO*: Find out when that play is that the doctor was talking about.  I think I would like to see it.  And I'm going to be taking a little trip down to the academy to if you would like to join me.

CNS_Enki says:
::Begins walking towards the turbolift:: CSO: Is this a patient?

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: Yes at the academy.

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: Her name is Karen Douglas.

CNS_Enki says:
::Enters the turbolift:: CSO: Do you need to change first?

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: Aye, ma'am.  I would like that.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at her uniform:: CNS: I see no need to.

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: Alright.  ::Gives the appropriate deck for the transporter room:: CSO: I'm not certain how much help I can be.  I wouldn't feel right using my security clearance to gain you access to her medical records or anything like that...

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: Well it is with regards to those mysterious accidents at the theatre.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sends out the last of the reports to Starfleet Headquarters and signs off on a dozen or so little things that required her signature::

CNS_Enki says:
::The turbolift stops at the proper deck and Enki leads the way out::

CSO_Syrna says:
::follows her:: CNS: And I don't really need the information for myself, but I would feel comfortable if someone on the Delphyne crew knew about her condition.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stacks the last PADD on her desk and gets up stretching and heads back to the bridge with a cup of coffee in her hand:: XO: How would you like to surprise a grumpy Klingon professor that is probably terrorizing an entire squad of cadets?

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: I'm not certain I understand.  You want a member of our crew to be aware of the condition of a patient who was affected by an accident at the theatre?  In case something happens?

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods:: CNS: Things have... a way of happening. Perhaps I am being overly cautious.

XO_Tarrez says:
::inquiries about the play and gets her answer:: CO: Sounds like fun. ::grins::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around the bridge at the skeleton crew:: XO: Everything squared away?

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: Ah, I think I see.  In case something afflicts one of us... ::Enters the transporter room and gives coordinates for SFM: Psych Div to the transporter tech::

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up and nods::  Duty OPS: You have the bridge.

Host Brett says:
Action: The CNS / CSO are transported to Starfleet Medical College.

XO_Tarrez says:
<Duty OPS> XO: Aye, ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::materializes at SFM College::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::enters the TL and waits for the XO to join her::

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows::

CNS_Enki says:
@::Rematerializes on Earth... smells the air for a moment, and looks at the CSO::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: So who is this professor?

CSO_Syrna says:
@::expression remains bland, looks back at the CNS waiting for her to lead the way::

CNS_Enki says:
@::Begins leading the way towards the psychology building::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gives the directions to the TL:: XO: Oh…just someone I know. ::grins and exits the TL when they arrive::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::follows along::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Your father is a professor isn't he? ::follows out of the TL::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::enters the transporter room and hops up onto a pad:: XO: You know...I think you are right.

CNS_Enki says:
@::Enters the building she was looking for and walks up to a busy reception-style desk::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins and hops up on the pad and signals the transporter chief the sign to  energize.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TR Chief: Starfleet Academy, Chief.

Host Brett says:
Action: The CO / XO are beamed to Starfleet Academy

CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders if Karen Douglas is in the psychological ward or if her injuries were so extensive that she is still in the hospital::

CNS_Enki says:
::An attendant looks up and asks what she can do for them:: Attendant: I am Counselor Marla Enki of the USS Delphyne.  I am looking for access to medical databases for clinical research purposes, and my friend here would like to make an inquiry about a patient that may be here.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::rematerializes and looks around grinning:: XO: It's been a while...but this place never changes.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: CO: I always loved being here.

Host Brett says:
<SFM Receptionist> CNS: ::Smiles::  Certainly.  Please step over here for a retinal scan.  ::Motions to a machine nearby::

CNS_Enki says:
::Steps to the machine indicated::

Host Brett says:
Action: The scanner confirms her identity

CSO_Syrna says:
::waits patiently at a respectable distance::

Host Brett says:
<SFM Receptionist> CNS: Alright Counsellor Enki.  Our library is right down that corridor, turn left at the end.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::heads up the stairs to the main hall and walks over to the cadet working as a receptionist:: Cadet: Can you tell me where Captain T'Kar might be about this time?

Host Brett says:
<SFM Receptionist> CSO: Now then, who are you here to see?

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: Good luck.  If you need me... well, you know/

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows looking at all the artwork::

CSO_Syrna says:
::bland expression:: Reception: I was here with... ::hears Enki:: Oh... well then I will be going.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Cadet> ::rises to attention:: CO: Captain T'Kar would be in the flight holosuite, ma'am.  Two corridors down to your left and take a....

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins at the excited Cadet and starts to head to the holosuite::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::interrupts the cadet:: Cadet: Thank you, Cadet.  I know where it is.  ::grins and heads off in that direction::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks back at the receptionist:: Receptionist: Would it be possible for me to see Karen Douglass?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO: I still can't believe I was ever that young once.

CNS_Enki says:
::Walks down the corridor and takes the left into the library.  Enki looks around at the medical students and grads working and finds an open computer terminal. ::

Host Brett says:
<SFM Receptionist> ::Types info into her terminal.::  CSO: It seems Ms. Douglas is in the hospital.  Room 1212.  You'll need to check in with main reception before you see her.  ::Smiles::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Some how I don't think you ever were. ::steps an arm length away from her just in case::

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods:: Receptionist: Thank you. ::walks out::

CNS_Enki says:
::Settles down into the chair... she doesn't remember them being this uncomfortable::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sees the holosuite door before turning and growling at her and then grins:: XO And you are about to meet the reason why...  ::checks that it was safe to enter and slips in the door to end up standing at the back of a classroom where a big one legged Klingon with an eye patch was bellowing at a gaggle of cadets::

CSO_Syrna says:
::follows the signs to main reception, and walks to the desk::

XO_Tarrez says:
::loses the smile with respect to the professor::

CNS_Enki says:
::Opens up her computer session and begins typing in her requests for information::

Host Brett says:
<Psych Receptionist> CSO: May I help you?

CSO_Syrna says:
Reception: I would like to see Karen Douglass. May I?

Host Khar says:
Cadets: Wrong…wrong…wrong!  I swear upon Kahless' nose that you are the worst group of pilots this facility has ever turned out!  Now we are going to go over...::Sees K'Beth and Sy and squints in the low light::

CSO_Syrna says:
<Psych Receptionist> CSO: She is in Room 1212. ::gives directions::

CSO_Syrna says:
Reception: Thank you. ::turns to follow those directions::

Host Khar says:
::A smile lights his face and he hobbles off the podium and up the aisle toward the CO/XO, cadets shying away from him as he passes.::

XO_Tarrez says:
::if it wasn't for the smile decides she would probably make a run for it right about now::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles quietly and steps forward:: Khar: Hello father.  I could have sworn that my class was the worst group of pilots ever to attend the academy.

Host Khar says:
::Approaches the two and glares down at them for a moment.::  CO: Well, perhaps this group does have some hope after all.  Thank you for reminding me.  ::Laughs and picks her up in a great hug, swinging her around quite nimbly on his one leg.::

CSO_Syrna says:
::follows the directions to the room::

XO_Tarrez says:
::steps back so as not to get knocked over by the swinging mass::

CNS_Enki says:
::Reads the text scrolling by... very few have encountered this type of remission...::

Host Khar says:
INFO: The CSO finds and enters the room.  A young woman lies in one bio-bed, staring vacantly at the ceiling.  The bed next to her is also occupied by an older man who is apparently asleep.  A viewer on the wall plays a local show to an uncaring audience.

CSO_Syrna says:
::was hoping to find her alone, softly:: Old Man: Greetings.

CNS_Enki says:
::One name sticks out... a Counselor Dickinson... she makes a note of his name, and maybe she can find a way to look up him::

Host Khar says:
Cadets: ::Bellows without putting down his daughter::  You are dismissed.  Use the extra time to go over the Pentathan weave again.  If you fail tomorrow, I will have you polishing the holodeck with your tongues!

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grunts a bit as her breath is crushed out of her and gasps as she hugs him back:: Khar: Father...I would appreciate it if my ribs remained intact. ::grins::

Host Khar says:
Info: The older man does not respond.

CSO_Syrna says:
::quietly approaches the old man to see if he is awake or even breathing::

CNS_Enki says:
::Finds little more info in the text files, and thinks she'll look him up later.  But now she'll go find the CSO and see how she's doing... where was the patient?  1212?::

Host Khar says:
CO: ::Sets her down::  Hah!  Too much soft living.  ::Pokes her gently in the stomach::  So, Captain, why are you here?  ::Smiles::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles enjoying this warm reunion::

CNS_Enki says:
::Uses the terminal and her access to quickly check that and shuts down her session and leaves the library::

CSO_Syrna says:
::notes the name on the bio monitor... Hutch Tanner... is surprised and makes a soft gasping sound::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Khar: To see you, you old war horse.  I heard that you were eating cadets for breakfast and thought I'd come watch. ::remembers her manners:: Oh…sorry.  Father, this is Commander Tarrez,  XO of the Delphyne.  Cmdr, the original Captain T'Kar.

CSO_Syrna says:
::wishes D'von were here::

CNS_Enki says:
::Walks through the corridors and finds room 1212.  She enters and sees the two patients and the CSO::  CSO: How go things?

Host Khar says:
::Grins and extends his large calloused hand to the XO::  XO: So, you are the one eh?

XO_Tarrez says:
::salutes and then extends her hand to the Captain:: Khar: I am the one what? ::looks questioningly at K'Beth::

CSO_Syrna says:
::jumps a bit:: CNS: Oh! ::resumes her calm:: I just noticed this man next to Karen is Hutch Tanner, who is also associated with the theatre.

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: How... coincidental?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins and looks innocently back::

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: He apparently suffered a heart attack two days after his interview with the press. I did not know he was also here.

Host Khar says:
<Karen> CNS / CSO :You're here to ask about the Paradise aren't you?  ::Staring at the ceiling::

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: That is surprising... ::Trying not to let the curious woman in her come out too much, lest she start poking around too much::

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to Karen:: Karen: I did, yes.

XO_Tarrez says:
::has long since stopped believe that look::

Host Khar says:
Action: The beeping from Hutch’s biobed starts to grow in volume and intensity. He cries out, sitting up, his eyes wide. The noise is unlike anything anyone has ever heard from a biobed – and Karen’s voice is small, so it has a hard time rising over the noise.

Host Khar says:
<Karen>CSO / CNS: I didn't fall down...I fell up.

CSO_Syrna says:
::is worried about the noises coming from Hutch's bed, hears Karen and is surprised:: Karen: that is.... rather unusual.

Host Khar says:
