The sweeps of the ship have turned up no further bombs or shape shifters and background checks of the crew have been completed.  The USS Gladius is on its return trip from the Neutral Zone and will arrive in approximately two hours.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge reading the report about the ship sweeps::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::on the bridge::  CO: The sweep of the ship and crew are complete.  Permission to now have us stand down from Red Alert and dock with the station?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: in engineering monitoring ship functions and power levels ::

EO_Sharpe says:
::returns from his quarters not 20 minutes from the time he left::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Go ahead Commander.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Walks onto the bridge and blinks a couple of times before heading over to the SCI station.::

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO:: Alright sir, where to begin?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Sits down at SCI, and stares at the bewildering sea of screens, readouts and buttons::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat in front of her computer and hits her comm badge.  Ziggy jumps into her lap as if he was just waiting until she sat down, almost making her spill it::  Ziggy:  Zig!  Warn a person first...

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty TO/Duty FCO/Duty OPS: Please stand down from Red Alert and dock us with the station.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Tell all personnel that they are to remain on duty even on the Starbase.  Restricted shoreleave only.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO: Begin by checking using to computer to make sure all Jeffries tube access hatches are secured.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  All Hands: All personnel are to remain on duty while the ship is docked with Starbase.  Restricted shoreleave only.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*Modex*: Commander, please report to the bridge.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::sets her cup down and hits her comm badge:: *Lt Hanson*:  Can you please authorize a link to the station with my computer?  I need to retrieve some logs and sensor readings.  Captain's orders.  Thank you.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Overhears the CO's comm to Modex and thinks "Oh Joy! Mr. Creepy is still around."::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::returns to her chair beside the CO::  Captain I was going to ask you something related to my personal life but if now is not the time I think it can wait.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> *CO*: I am on my way Captain.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: No...go ahead.  What is it?

Host Brett says:
<Hansen> *CNS*: Link established, but you'll have to get authorization from their operations center for anything restricted.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::hesitantly reaches forward and taps a button. An angry alarm sounds from the console. He hurriedly hits the button again, turning the sound off, and glances around the bridge hoping no one noticed::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am I was thinking about taking you up on that wedding gift of yours.  I think my family could really use a LOA for awhile.... you know to regroup and recoup. ::frowns as this is one of the hardest things she has ever done::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks over at the science console, but smiles as she sees it is just the cadet::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: XO: I'm glad you suggested that because I was trying to come up with a way to order you to do that. ::gives a small smile:: Permission gladly granted...when did you want to depart?

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Arrives on the bridge and, accompanied by his guards, approaches the Captain.::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::sighs, but understands.  Notes the link::  COM: Starbase Duty OPS:  This is Dr Jakiel aboard the Delphyne, I've been instructed by Captain T’Kar to retrieve some information on a certain ship docked several weeks ago.  ::takes a sip and scratches Ziggy behind his ears::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gives her a small smile::  CO: Probably just before the ship leaves dock the next time.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Sees the XO's glance, and quickly turns to face the console again::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks up at the cadet questioningly but turns and looks at Modex approaching.  Nods to the XO before addressing him:: Modex: Commander, have you been kept apprised of the situation?

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO: Sir?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: turns :: EO: You have a question Mr. Sharpe?

Host Brett says:
<Modex> CO: Insofar as my ship leaving, yes.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
<DUTY OPS> XO: ::taps a few buttons:: Ma'am, docking clamps engaged and cross-link. Switching to external power mode.

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO: Yes sir! I asked where you would like me

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty OPS: Thank you.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands and moves back to the science station::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
<Duty OPS> XO: All in a days work. ::smiles::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO: You can access the computer from any console in engineering.  Now begin checking the Jeffries tube access hatches to make sure they are secure

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Modex: Then I will leave it up to you.  You can stay here on the Delphyne until your situation has been dealt with by Starfleet.  Or immediately go to temporary quarters on the Starbase.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles at the Cadet::  CIV: Everything going okay?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
<Duty OPS> *CEO*: We're on external power now. Just thought you guys would like to know.

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO:: Aye sir ::moves off to one of the consoles and begins running through all the Jeffries tube hatches, to make sure they are secured::

Host Brett says:
<@SBDutyOPS> COM: Del: CNS: Send your request, we'll see what we can do.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Have we stood down from Red Alert?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*Duty_OPS*: Understood.  Beginning power down sequence

Host Brett says:
<Modex> CO: Well Captain, I am afraid that choice has been made for me already.  Admiral Kiel and Lieutenant Rhiems would like me to come to the station for debriefing.

TO_Re`Volos says:
XO: No Commander, Red Alert is still in effect.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Starting to make heads or tails of the Sci console. Practices a passive scan with the lateral sensor array on a passing shuttle:: Self: Hmmm? Mile high club?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CO*: Captain I am transferring the ship to external power and taking the engines off line for maintenance.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins:: Modex: Then that makes the decision making process easier. As soon as the docking is complete, I'll walk with you to Admiral Kiel's office.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::straightens as she hears Modex and sees that the Cadet is to absorbed in his learning.  Moves back down to the command area::

CNS_Jakiel says:
Mouths silently, shaking her head: 'We'll see what we can do?'  COM:SB Duty OPS:  I would appreciate it as it is Captain T’Kar’s orders.  ::puts an emphasis on the rank.  Sends the prewritten request for the Ferengi Marauder logs, communiqués, and sensor readings::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Very good, Lt.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Captain, may I also go with you?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Please have us stand down.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> CO: Thank you Captain.  ::Steps over to one side to remain out of the way.  Observes the bridge crew at work.::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: begins shutting the engines down::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::As he hears someone walking behind him, he hurriedly switches his scan to another shuttle.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
XO: Yes Commander.  ::brings the ship down from Red Alert::

Host Brett says:
<@SBDutyOPS> COM: Del: CNS: Request received, we'll get back to you.  ::Communication ends.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO: Since little Hawkes is on the Starbase I would have half thought you would be waiting at the airlock for the first cycle to open.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: walks over to the EO:: EO: When you are finished with the Jeffries tubes, I want you to oversee the shutting down of the warp core for maintenance

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Duty_OPS: Is the docking procedure complete?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Overhears the CO's comment to the XO. Seems to remember a Professor Hawkes who served on this ship?:: Self: Coincidence?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles::  CO: Yes ma'am, but I think this important... besides... I will soon have a lot of time to spend with him.

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO: Of course sir, ::finishes up his scans then moves over to the Warp Core monitoring stations to oversee Shutdown procedure::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
<Duty OPS> CO: Yes Ma'am. All mooring clamps are engaged. Umbilical connected and cross-linked. ::looks at his console to double check, and nods:: We're docked.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns the screen off after the link is broken and takes another drink, thinking about the shore leave::  *XO*:  Commander?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CNS*: Go ahead

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO:: Sir, I stand ready to shut down the Core on your command

Host Brett says:
<@SBDutyOPS> COM: Del: CO: Captain T'Kar, I have Admiral Kiel for you.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Duty_OPS: On screen.

CIV_Kirkbride says:
<Duty OPS> CO: ::taps a button:: On screen Ma'am.

CNS_Jakiel says:
*XO*:  Will I be needed on the ship for anything else or would it be possible to go on base?  ::her tone has a hopeful quality to it::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns to look at the view screen::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Turns away from his scans to look at the screen.:: Self: ::hushed with wonderment:: Wow, a real live Admiral. ::forgets that he was adopted and raised by one::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: begins shutting down all power relays :: EO : No Mr. Sharpe do not shut it down, take it off line.  If you shut the core down it takes hours to restart.  The ship would be helpless.  Off line the core is still hot.  But the engines can be serviced

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO::: Ahh sorry sir, Misunderstood your command...my apologies, it will not happen again

Host Brett says:
Action: Admiral Kiel appears on the screen, flanked by Lieutenant Rhiems.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CNS*: Counselor, we are on restricted shoreleave but if you need to go onto the base you may.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM: Adm: Admiral....we were just on our way to your office.  Is there a problem?

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> CO: Good evening Captain.  Once your ship is secured, I would like to meet with you and your Executive Officer.  Commander Modex is also to report to my office.  As for your other "guest", you may have your own security people escort it to our brig.  Lieutenant Rhiems is looking forward to a long conversation.

CNS_Jakiel says:
*XO*:   I think I do need to, commander.  Thank you.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO: See that it doesn't.  :: growls under his breath :: Now see to your duties

EO_Sharpe says:
::begins the sequence for taking the core offline::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM: Adm: Aye ma'am.  We should be there in a few minutes.  I'll have my TO escort our 'guest' to your brig.

Host Brett says:
<Kiel> CO: Very well.  See you soon.  ::Transmission ends.::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Wonders who their 'guest' is? And why it was referred to in the gender-neutral?::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Take several tactical officers and escort our prisoner to the Starbase brig.  All security precautions are to be taken.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::'touches' K'Vas' and finds his mood a bit dark::  *CEO*:  Sir, do you have a minute?

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Yes Captain.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::snaps a quick Klingon salute before heading off to the Tac office to gather personnel::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CNS*: Yes counselor, how can I be of service??

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::retrieves a few PADDs including the report for the Admiral::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Turns his full attention back to scanning passing shuttles.:;

Host Brett says:
<@SBDutyOPS> COM: Del: CNS: Lieutenant, your request has been approved.  We're sending you the data you requested.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around the bridge and her eye rests on the Cadet:: CIV: Cadet...you have the bridge. If anything happens you are to call me or speak to Lt Hanson. ::turns and gives a wink to Lt Hanson the Duty_OPS behind her back so the cadet can't see::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::smiles::  *CEO*:  I thought you might want to know your counselor will be going ashore.  She needs a bit of fresh air.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up and grins at the CO's announcement::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::gathers 5 Sec Officers to accompany him and goes to the brig::

Host Brett says:
<Hansen> ::Smiles::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: ::Swivels around a bit too fast...like he got his hand caught in the cookie jar:: Ma'am, yes Ma'am.

Host Brett says:
<Micah> ::In the guise of K'Beth, stands up and smiles::  TO: Ah, time to go?

CNS_Jakiel says:
COM: SB: Duty OPS:  Thank you.  Your timeliness is much appreciated.  ::turns the vidscreen back on and waits::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CNS*: I see.  Perhaps you could delay your departure, I would be honored to join you.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::as she heads to the turbo lift:: CIV: And Cadet....don't spill anything on my chair. ::waits for Modex, his guards and the XO to join her in the TL::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Files out after the Captain.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::pulls out his phaser:: Micah: Step away from the shield.  ::gives a nod to the Duty TO to lower the force field::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::joins the CO::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
CO: Ma'am. No Ma'am. ::Nods vigorously and seriously at the same time::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Looks around a second... then cautiously moves over and very slowly and carefully sits down in the CO's chair::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CIV: Good...the ship is yours, Cadet. ::the doors close and she orders it to the airlock::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::her attention is taken by the files that come streaming in::  *CEO*:  Well, you are in luck.  I need to do a bit of reading, then I would very much enjoy being in your company.  ::smiles wryly::  Perhaps I can help lighten your mood?

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Eyes go big:: Self: They'll never believe this back at the dorms.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::starts to skim through the logs first, setting the computer to search for certain key words::

Host Brett says:
<Hansen> ::Glides over and places a hand on the Cadet's shoulder::  CDT: Easy tiger, just watch your readouts and don't touch anything.  ::Winks and saunters back to her station.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::heads out of the airlock and turns and walks with Modex, his guards and the XO the short distance to the Admiral's office.  Walks in and waits for the Admiral’s aid to show them in::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Glances down at the consoles by the CO's seat:: Self: I wonder what all these do?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CNS*: Perhaps. I will join you as soon as duties permit.  ::concentrates a moment and sends a rather suggest thought to his mate::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::orders two of the TOs to place the field-restricting restraints on the changeling::

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO:: Sir, the core is now offline

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Jumps slightly at Hansen's touch:: Hansen: No sir, of course not. ::stares at the readouts::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Admiral's Aid: Admiral Kiel requested that we report to her office.

Host Brett says:
<Micha> TO: Don't worry Leiko, I won't harm a hair on your head.  Shall we go?  ::Smiles seductively::

TO_Re`Volos says:
Micah: Get moving.  ::motions with his phaser, as the TOs take up a flanking position around the prisoner::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Imagines himself having to deal with a sudden emergency. Hansen is injured and he can't raise the Co. Visualizes himself having to defend the station and getting the Starfleet Medal of Honor in from of all his jealous friends::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::smiles as she finds her mate's mood already better::  *CEO*:  Just comm me when you are off duty.

Host Brett says:
<Micha>  ::Goes quietly::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO: Understood.  Next make sure that the that all environmental controls are operational on the reduced power.  :: Keeps an eye on the EO as he does his tasks ::

CIV_Kirkbride says:
::Finds himself making little noises as he imagines firing the phasers...and stops looking around the bridge to see if anyone noticed::

Host Brett says:
@<aid> CO: You can go right in.  ::Eyes Modex and the CO with some trepidation.  A Romulan commander and a walking ghost...wonders if that freight handling job on Io is still available.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::marches the prisoner to the SB::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CNS*: Understood counselor.

EO_Sharpe says:
::Moved through the checklist only stopping once to remember what to do next::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Aid: Thank you. ::enters Admiral Kiel’s office and gestures for the guards to remain outside on call::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
@::ignores the emotions that she is sensing from the aid and turns her attentions to the others in the room::

Host Brett says:
<Hansen> ::Struggles not to giggle at the Cadet.  Studiously works on her panel.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@::is met by SB 39 security personnel at the dock. Re'Volos nods, and the group continues to the Station Brig::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: double checks the ship status::

EO_Sharpe says:
CEO:: All set sir

Host Brett says:
