Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge, humming a tune and watching the stars go by on the viewscreen::

CTO_On says:
::he is at the bridge reviewing his tactical console::

Host Brett says:
ACTION: The Delphyne speeds through space, all systems tested and functioning.  ETA to Vulcan is forty minutes, present speed.

CSO_Syrna says:
::at Science One checking over the supply list::

FCO_Curgan says:
::finishes up a test course with the new engines::

XO_Tarrez says:
::hopes the CO doesn't start to sing as she sits next to her on the bridge::

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks on the bridge::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO/XO:: Morning!

SO_Vendal says:
::Finishes with putting his things up, notices he has a little while till he reports and decides to be early::  ::makes his way to a turbolift:: TL: Bridge

OPS_D`von says:
::on the bridge,::

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up:: CMO: Morning Doc.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks over at Syrna:: CSO: I assume you received everything you ordered?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks over and grins:: CMO: Morning, Doc.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks up at D'von:: OPS: It would appear so. I thank you again for a most efficient job.

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: I just forward you all the results of the various testing.  The ship checks out green.

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: CSO: It was nothing all I did was make up a list and send it off, my staff did all the organization involved

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: I will have to leave a note to the Engineers on McKinley to leave my office alone...I had to go back and loosen every bolt in my chair to make it comfy again ::laughs::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks over the reports:: XO: They did a good job fixing this old girl up.  We should be good to go for another 200 years or so.

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Then I thank your efficient staff. It reflects well on you.

SO_Vendal says:
::Steps out of the TL and onto the bridge, moving to Sci 1:: CSO: Sir, I am Lt.Jg Vendal, I am happy to report to duty, may I report to the captain?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: CMO: Well I like my new chair...first time I haven't felt a lump in it since I got here.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks over at the Captain:: SO: Certainly.

OPS_D`von says:
::a flashing light goes off telling him that the diagnostics 
he ordered to be ran are now complete::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: How is everyone down in sickbay? Do we still have anyone recovering down there?

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: Welcome aboard the Delphyne... I hope you will find your time here agreeable.

SO_Vendal says:
::Nods and smiles.  Moves toward the CO and waits at appropriate distance::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Everything Checks out....the few that were still recovering have since moved back to active duty

OPS_D`von says:
::wonders how he got stuck doing the engineers job after they left::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks up and sees the new officer:: SO: Good morning Lt.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to the CMO and turns to see the new SO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::double checks sensors::

SO_Vendal says:
CO: Sir.  Lt.Jg Vendal reporting

CTO_On says:
::he is reviewing the information of the tactical system and the armory and everything seems normal::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: Welcome aboard, Lt.  and please use the address of ma'am or captain.  I'm a bit old fashioned that way.  ::smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
::takes a quick glance over his shoulder at the new officer on the bridge::

CTO_On says:
::he is also getting update with the security protocols of the ship and he is planning a meeting with the security officers::

OPS_D`von says:
CO: Ma'am the transporters, the tractor beam, and the power grid all check out, and most of the supplies we ordered are here.

XO_Tarrez says:
CTO: Anything out there?  I don't want to get caught flat-footed even when we are in friendly space.

SO_Vendal says:
CO: Understood, I had a instructor in the Academy that was just the opposite, and you never know which will be what is preferred

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Most of the supplies?

CTO_On says:
XO: Since we are in friendly space there is nothing to report, but if we have time maybe I can try a weapon test

FCO_Curgan says:
::begins to run a low level diagnostic on the flight systems after his most recent tests::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins:: SO: They teach us to do that in command school...keeps our officers guessing.

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: CO: I couldn’t get the Romulan ale I ordered, they said something about it being outlawed

SO_Vendal says:
CO: But now I am not guessing anymore, have I messed things up for you now?  :slight smile on his lips::

CMO_Hunter says:
SO: ::nods to the new officer:: Welcome aboard Lieutenant, I’m Lieutenant Commander Hunter...Chief Medical officer ::extends hand to shake::

CSO_Syrna says:
::eyes twinkle at D'von's comment::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Ma'am, if possible I would like to drop out of warp a bit early to test out our weapons.  Then we can coast into Vulcan.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
SO: ::smiling:: I imagine I'll recover, Lt.  Report to the CSO and take your station.

SO_Vendal says:
::Shakes the CMO's hand with a firm but gentle grip::

OPS_D`von says:
CO: So I had to go with a substitute ::grins::

SO_Vendal says:
CO: Aye

SO_Vendal says:
::Moves to Sci1 and relieves CSO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Good idea, Commander.

CTO_On says:
XO: The sensors reports normal ship traffic. Most of them are civilian federation ships and they are heading to Vulcan. There are three federation vessels heading there

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: Did the Captain need to see me?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Except I have to be on Vulcan so there won't be any time.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to the CTO::  FCO: What is our ETA?

SO_Vendal says:
CSO: No however I was under the understanding that you may have wanted to observe me at first to see how I will fit in

FCO_Curgan says:
XO:  Twenty minutes, Ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow:: SO: I see. ::steps back:: Very well Lieutenant. Let us see how you handle this panel then.

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Understood.  CTO: We will just have to hold off on that testing for now.  I will see if I can get you a chance before we leave Vulcan.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at OPS for a moment and then with a straight face:: OPS: Very good Lt.  I will expect to see all of the 'substitute' in my office by the end of this shift.

XO_Tarrez says:
FCO: Thank you.

SO_Vendal says:
::Smiles and steps up and changes configuration a little, making it more customized::

CSO_Syrna says:
::watches him work, with her critical Vulcan eye::

OPS_D`von says:
::looks confused:: CO: Ma'am I didn't think you were that way, but I would be glad to share, I will bring the drink and you supply the steak ::smiles::

SO_Vendal says:
CSO: are there any quirks to the systems that I should know about

CTO_On says:
XO: Okay, perhaps another day we can conduct this weapon test

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: None really.

SO_Vendal says:
::Smiles a little and mutters:: Never seen a ship without it's own quirks

XO_Tarrez says:
OPS: Watch it Lt or you might find an eye in need of that steak. ::grins as she continues to read a few reports::

FCO_Curgan says:
::stifles a chuckle at his station::

CSO_Syrna says:
::small smirk as she hears his mutter, waits to let him find them himself as an impromptu test::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne approaches the Vulcan system.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles at the XO and goes back to reading the upgrades::

FCO_Curgan says:
XO: Ma'am we are approaching the Vulcan system  now.

OPS_D`von says:
::with out looking up from his console:: XO: Aye, Ma'am ::goes back to adjusting the power grid for max performance::

CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the XO's comment and wonders what D'von said::

XO_Tarrez says:
FCO: Drop out of warp and bring us into standard orbit.

FCO_Curgan says:
XO: Aye Ma'am.  ::Punches a few keys on his console::

XO_Tarrez says:
OPS: Contact the planet.  Inform them of our arrival.

SO_Vendal says:
::begins scanning area out of habit::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees the Del has entered the Vulcan system and stands a bit more rigidly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Also contact the Vulcan High Command and inform them that we've arrived.

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up still seeing Owyn standing there::  CMO: Have a seat. ::motions to the other chair::

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up, didn't even realize they were that close, sends a message to the planet informing them of the Del and its ETA::  XO: Message Sent

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Oh, right ::Chuckles and takes his seat::

OPS_D`von says:
CO: Yes, ma'am

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at the CMO::

Host Brett says:
<Approach Control> COM: DEL: OPS: This is Vulcan traffic control.  A flight plan is being sent to you now.  Please follow it.  Out.

SO_Vendal says:
::anomaly shows on sensors:: CMO: Sensors show a unusual magnetic field in space in an area that shouldn't have one

CMO_Hunter says:
CO/XO: Not much for welcomes are they?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Follow their flight plan, Ensign.

OPS_D`von says:
::received the message from the planet:: FCO: I am sending you a flight plan we are to follow, which was sent from the planet ::sends data to FCO::

Host Brett says:
Action: The High council acknowledges the message and expresses it's gratitude that the Delphyne was timely in its arrival.  They await Captain T'Kar at the appointed hour and place.

FCO_Curgan says:
OPS/CO: Aye.

XO_Tarrez says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CMO: Where you expecting a warm welcome?

CMO_Hunter says:
SO: Great to know Lt, but why are you telling me?

FCO_Curgan says:
::enters the coordinates for the new flight plan::

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow, leans forward to look at the anomaly::

SO_Vendal says:
::begins a detailed scan of the area trying to detect source of magnetic field::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO/XO: For a Vulcan...that was a warm welcome.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::shrugs and grins:: maybe my sparkling reputation as a man of science would awe them

XO_Tarrez says:
::chuckles::

OPS_D`von says:
CO: Ma'am the Vulcan high command acknowledge the message and expresses gratitude at our quick arrival, they await you at the appointed time and place

SO_Vendal says:
::switches from lateral to aft sensors to get alternate readings.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

CSO_Syrna says:
::almost smiles:: SO: I believe this anomaly is a glitch. Realign the short range sensor. We have done most of the alignment on the sensors, but there are minor situations like this one that will be found at unexpected intervals.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: When we get into orbit I'll be beaming down.  No telling when I'll be back, so you will have the conn.  Arrange for any Vulcan crew to get time off to visit their families.

SO_Vendal says:
::realignment is done in short order as Vendal had started it before he was asked to::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods:: CO: Understood.  I have already arranged shore leave for most of then.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Good.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Sing out, Ensign when we've achieved orbit.

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne approaches Vulcan and enters orbit.

XO_Tarrez says:
::stands and moves over to the science station:: CSO: Lt?

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: Yes?

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Orbit achieved Ma'am.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up and hopes the FCO is a better singer then the CO::

SO_Vendal says:
CSO: Completed anomaly was a glitch

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: You are granted as much shore leave as your duties allow.  Just make sure that everything in your department is squared away first.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at her blankly:: XO: Thank you. ::wishes she had not been given so much time on Vulcan::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods and moves back down to the command center::

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: I already have the duty rotation made out. I did not expect..... ::sees she moved away, she'll have to shuffle it a bit::

XO_Tarrez says:
::turns to look at the CSO:: CSO: Yes?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands and pulls down her jacket grumpily:: XO: I'll be at the Vulcan High Command.  Contact me for emergencies only.  You have the bridge Commander.

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: I am fine. I was finished. I just did not expect leave so soon after our time on Earth.

OPS_D`von says:
::sends a note to all departments that they are orbiting Vulcan and that they may begin their shore leave when they wish::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Aye.  *Department Heads*:  We are now in orbit around Vulcan all crew that has been cleared for shore leave may transport to the surface.

CTO_On says:
FCO: Look out for that asteroid ::jokingly::

SO_Vendal says:
CSO: I have a question, since I am so new on the ship have I been added to the duty roster yet

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::takes one last look around the bridge and then walks to the TL and enters it::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Care to join me for sun fun and excitement on the planet? ::Smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
CTO: It's your job to blast it!

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at Syrna:: CSO: Nonsense.  This is your home planet.  You should have all the time you want.

CSO_Syrna says:
::reaches around the SO and  pulls up her list:: SO: Yes. You have. Here is the list.

XO_Tarrez says:
::turns towards the CMO: At las I have the bridge. ::frowns::

CTO_On says:
FCO: Okay, let me target it and then fire ::smiles::

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Yes... thank you, Ma'am. ::her subtle expressions show that she's not all that thrilled about extra time on Vulcan::

FCO_Curgan says:
::chuckles::

SO_Vendal says:
::looks at list:: CSO: Thank you

OPS_D`von says:
::over hears the XO:: XO: Ma'am are you telling me that there is no one that can watch the bridge so you can hang out on the planets surface ::his duty ops comes on to the bridge and relieves him so D'von can take his leave::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: then I'll wait here till you get the rotation ::smiles::

CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: May I walk with you?

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles and nods to the CSO:: CSO: I was just going to ask you if you would like to join me

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: Feel free to take the station until the duty SO relieves you.

SO_Vendal says:
CSO: understood

XO_Tarrez says:
OPS: Not everyone can have leave at the same time Mr. D'Von.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: I would like that, but only if you want to.  You can have fun on the planet and I could meet up with you later.

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks with D'von to the lift::

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: XO: Ma'am we are orbiting Vulcan, even a petty officer could handle anything that might happen,

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::exits the TL and heads towards the TR.  Enters:: TR Chief: Good morning, Chief.  You should have the coordinates from the Vulcan High Command.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<TR Chief> CO: Aye ma'am...ready when you are.

SO_Vendal says:
::Duty SO arrives shortly and relieves Vendal::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hops up on the pad:: TR Chief: Energize.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: You sure?

OPS_D`von says:
::enters the lift with Syrna:: XO/CMO/FCO/SO: Are you guys going to join us?

XO_Tarrez says:
::gets a flashing light on her console and smiles as she reads it::  OPS/CMO: Well it looks like I might be in luck after all....

SO_Vendal says:
::Moves to TL to join crew on shore leave::

CSO_Syrna says:
~~~OPS: Can I ask you to stop by my quarters?~~~

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::arrives at the Vulcan High Command and is immediately escorted into a room and the door shut firmly behind them::

FCO_Curgan says:
::arriving with the other duty officers is the duty FCO, relieving Ensign Curgan from his shift::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO/OPS: A Lt Cmdr on the gamma shift is wanting some extra bridge time. 

SO_Vendal says:
OPS: I'm right behind you :: Begins whistling a merry tune::

OPS_D`von says:
::nods an okay to Syrna::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to the turbolift nodding his tanks to the duty FCO::

XO_Tarrez says:
::indicates for the Lt Cmdr to relieve her.::

CSO_Syrna says:
::exits at Deck 3 and waits for D'von::

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS: Sure, the sickbay is in the wonderful hands of Nurse Redfield

XO_Tarrez says:
::Is replaced and hurries to the TL::  CMO: ::grinning: You coming?

CMO_Hunter says:
XO:: yeah! wait for me!!

OPS_D`von says:
::walks with Syrna:: CSO: So what are you plans on the surface?

XO_Tarrez says:
::enters the next car and waits for the CMO to enter::

CSO_Syrna says:
::said grimly:: OPS: Visiting my.... family. My father has ordered me home. He has some news.

CMO_Hunter says:
::slides on in as the door closes:: Thanks love!

CSO_Syrna says:
::enters her quarters::

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Would you like me to go with you when you visit your family ::knows how Syrna feels about her father::

Host Brett says:
Action: The crew beams down to their respective destinations to begin shore leave on Vulcan.

CSO_Syrna says:
@OPS: T'hai'la.... yes... but no. They do not know about you.... I will have to speak to them first. ::hopes he understands::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at Owyn as they materialize on the surface::  CMO: I sure am glad for over achievers.

SO_Vendal says:
::Moves around market sampling local food and seeing the sights::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::chuckles:: How do you mean?

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: CMO: Like that young Lt Cmdr that wanted to get some extra time on the bridge.

FCO_Curgan says:
::takes a deep breath of fresh air and decides to take a run in the dry heat of Vulcan::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Yes...that nurse practically begged me for the run of the sickbay

OPS_D`von says:
@::smiles::  CSO: No problem, I can check in the sights while you explain me, ::wonders if there really an explanation for him::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: Have you ever been to Vulcan?

SO_Vendal says:
::finds a local music merchant and purchases new music data rods::

CMO_Hunter says:
::jaw drops suddenly:: XO: I really hope they aren't going to do what I think they are....Hmm No I haven't

CSO_Syrna says:
@OPS: Very good. I will be in contact with you when my Father is done with me... which should be shortly. ::caresses his face with her first two fingers, then kisses him::

XO_Tarrez says:
::shakes her head::  CMO: I would skin them alive and they know it ::grins::

OPS_D`von says:
@::returns her kiss and smiles:: CSO: I will be waiting for you

CSO_Syrna says:
@::goes to the transporter room with D'von::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: Well neither have I.   Want to go get something to drink or do any shopping?

SO_Vendal says:
::Finds a nice park and sits beneath a tree to listen to his new music::

OPS_D`von says:
@::walks with Syrna to the transporter room::  CSO: So what do you recommend I see while I am waiting for you

Host Brett says:
Action: The FCO quickly realizes that the air on Vulcan is both hot and thin.  Despite his physiology he tires quite quickly, much more so than he is used to.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::arrives in the Transporter Room and gives the chief the coordinates:: OPS: There is always the Vulcan Science Academy.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Sure, whatever you want ::smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
::panting to catch his breath in the thin air, the Ensign tries to find a close shady spot to rest in::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles and takes his hand::  CMO: Well you are an easy date.

OPS_D`von says:
@::frowns:: CSO: I think that would be something I will go see with you, I think I will just check out the market ::waits while Syrna gets on the pad to beam down to her location::

SO_Vendal says:
::notices the FCO panting and gets up and waves::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO:: ::chuckles takes her hand in his:: I'm just as content to see the sights ::smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
::raises his head and nods wearily to the new SO::

SO_Vendal says:
::Motions to the shade he is in::  FCO: Come on over it is comfortable here

FCO_Curgan says:
SO: Hi there ::gasp::

CSO_Syrna says:
@OPS: Then It is agreed. I will take you there. Enjoy the market. Peace and long life, Alyx. ::beams down to her father's home::

SO_Vendal says:
FCO: You alright

FCO_Curgan says:
::trots over to the SO and flops down unceremoniously::

FCO_Curgan says:
SO: Yeah.  Just winded before I'm used to it.

SO_Vendal says:
::hands him a bottle of water:: FCO here you look like you could use this

CSO_Syrna says:
::materializes just outside of her father's home::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods his thanks as he accepts the water::

CSO_Syrna says:
::rings the chime::

Host Shryn says:
INFO: The temperature on Vulcan is a comfortable 40 degrees...Centigrade.  The air is thin and dry.

OPS_D`von says:
@::smiles as the CSO is beamed down, then has the Transporter Chief beam him down where some of the other Del crew are, he gets onto the pad and is beamed down where the FCO and SO are::

Host Shryn says:
::Opens the door to his home.::

CTO_On says:
@::he made an announcement to the all Security Personal to meet him in Cargo Bay 2::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: Do you think Hawkes is doing okay?

CSO_Syrna says:
Shryn: Greetings, Father.

SO_Vendal says:
::looks up to see OPS materialize:: OPS welcome

FCO_Curgan says:
::props himself up on one elbow and takes a sip of the water::

Host Shryn says:
CSO: It is agreeable to see you again my daughter.  I trust you are well?

XO_Tarrez says:
::bites her lip:: CMO: Perhaps I should go check on him?

CSO_Syrna says:
Shryn: I am, thank you.

OPS_D`von says:
SO: Glad I made it down in one piece

FCO_Curgan says:
SO: Ohh by the way I'm Trayer.  :extends his hand::

CSO_Syrna says:
::enters in to the house::

Host Shryn says:
::Leads her inside::  CSO: I hope you will forgive my hasty summons, but I have news for you.

CTO_On says:
@::he exits the bridge takes the Turbo Lift and goes to Cargo Bay 2::

SO_Vendal says:
::Shakes his hand with a firm grip:: FCO: Gabril Vendal

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::squeezed her hand:: He's fine Hun, I’m quite sure Nanny Fran is taking good care of him.

Host Shryn says:
CSO: Despite your rather cryptic message of 39 days ago, I have not discontinued my duties as your father...

OPS_D`von says:
::looks at the FCO and digs in his pocket and tosses him a hypo:: FCO: One of the nurses gave this to me, she owed  me a favor, it is tri-ox it will help with your breathing

CSO_Syrna says:
Shryn: So your message said. I am intrigued... ::pauses as she hears him::

Host Shryn says:
::Leads her into the sitting room where another figure is seated::

XO_Tarrez says:
::sighs:: CMO: You are probably right.

FCO_Curgan says:
::raises his eyebrow:: OPS: Many thanks, doc.

SO_Vendal says:
OPS: Is there a problem with the transporters, I heard one of the crewmen saying good luck as I got on

OPS_D`von says:
SO: No, I ran a check on them before we arrived, as far as I know everything is okay

CMO_Hunter says:
XO:: ::smiles:: Of course I'm right

FCO_Curgan says:
::eyes the hypo and puts it in his pocket for later::

OPS_D`von says:
::hops that the dosage is correct, the nurse wasn’t the brightest person he had ever met:: FCO: You’re welcome, just remember you take drugs at your own risk

FCO_Curgan says:
::chuckles::

Host Shryn says:
CSO: I have, at long last, secured a mate for you.  ::Indicates the figure who, upon hearing the tone, stands and looks at Syrna.  A handsome male Vulcan inclines his head and offers her the spilt fingered Vulcan greeting.::
