<<<<Begin Mission - "Blinded by Science - Part 1">>>>

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::waiting in the transporter room for their guests to arrive::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::at the Cargo Bay watching the loading of the scientists equipment::

OPS_Keach says:
::On the Bridge checking and re-checking the guest roster::

Host Brett says:
Action: The three scientists and their assistants arrive in Transporter Room 1.

SO_So`Quon says:
::just cleared by starbase security, he quietly enters the corridor leading into the Delphyne carrying a small traveling bag::

OPS_Keach says:
CTO: Our guests are in transporter room 1

CTO_K`Vas says:
::on the bridge at tactical console :: *TO*: Re'Volos report to the transporter room and escort our guests to their quarters,

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
::looks around the transporter room then steps away from the other scientists quickly::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Arrives in the transporter room...hands behind her back she carefully scans the room.::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
CO: You are the Captain?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::steps forward a bit:: All: Welcome to the Delphyne.  I am Captain K'Beth T'Kar.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::In the Tac Office going over the small additions to the inventory::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*OPS*: It appears that all cargo has been transported aboard.  Can you confirm?

CTO_K`Vas says:
OPS: Thank you ensign

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CTO*: Aye, aye, sir.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Steps down from the transporter PADD discretely following behind Dr Kragen.::

OPS_Keach says:
::Checks cargo status:: *XO*: It appears so

CMO_Hunter says:
::In the lounge having a bite to eat::

Lt_Nakamura says:
::materializes and stands near attention seeing a Captain in the room::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::steps down from the transporter pad, looking down sort of arrogantly::

SO_So`Quon says:
::enters the Delphyne, stops and scrutinizes the hall with his flame red eyes, and then makes way to the nearest turbo lift::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Kragen: Welcome aboard ::smiles and looks at the gathering of the others:: Is this your entire compliment?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::rises from the desk and heads for the TR::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::smiles at everyone, quite eager to be here::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::standing on the bridge::  CTO:  Isn't there a new crewmember arriving today?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CO*: We are all set to ship out Captain at your command.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::orders the duty TO to guard the cargo::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
CO: This is Gretel Vandermark my assistant. ::stares at Nakamura::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CNS: Yes counselor, a new science officer is scheduled to arrive

SO_So`Quon says:
::keep his focus on the floor and nearly bumps into a passing crewmember as he enters the nearby TL::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Smiles at the Pretty Capt.::  CO:  Pleasure to meet you Capt. ::Holds out her hand::  What a magnificent ship you have here.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::arrives in the TR::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Coincidentally with all the scientists coming aboard, too.

Lt_Nakamura says:
CO: I am Lt. Nakamura.  I am not with Kragen's group.  I am a scientist of my own right.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::Shakes Gretel's hand:: Vandermark: Thank you.  Welcome aboard.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::is a bit upset at Kragen for speaking up first, he always was a busy body::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Rolls her eyes at the continuing posturing of the rest of the scientist.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CNS: Unknown how long the new crewmember has been waiting for the ship to dock.

SO_So`Quon says:
::enters the TL with another crewman:: TL: Bridge.

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
CO: Some of us know science and some of us play science Captain.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::starts heading back to the bridge::  *CTO*: Report.  How is the rest of the reloading of supplies and repairs coming?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Nakamura: Of course Lt.  Welcome aboard. ::looks at the other two expectantly::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Should I try to contact them?  With all the influx of people boarding and disembarking, he might get lost in the shuffle.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::stand at attention near the door until he is needed::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Lays a hand on Dr Kragen's arm::  Dr Kragen:  Dr, this may not be the time.  ::Smiles once again.::

SO_So`Quon says:
::can feel the stare from the crewman, takes a deep breath, and slowly turns an icy gaze right back at her::::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::thinks to himself about Kragen: Some people like you, you mean::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Spots a new comer to the room and flashes a brilliant smile at the TO then gives him a slight wink.::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::eagerly steps up to Nakamura waiting for his boss to introduce him to the nice Captain::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
Gretel: Time?  Time is it's own science.  I don't deal with that poppycock.

SO_So`Quon says:
::the crewman looks away as the TL stops at deck 4 and leaves So'Quon standing inside alone::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hears the tone of bickering already starting and decides that introductions can wait:: All: If you will all accompany me to the cargo bay we can inspect your containers and then be off.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::blinks a bit in surprise, and then grins back at the attractive scientist::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::looks Vulcanly patient waiting his turn::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Dr_Kragen: I know you don't... but don't give them the satisfaction of thinking otherwise.  ::Whispers into his ear.::

SO_So`Quon says:
::thinks, "why must humans always look at me like that when they first see me?"::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Out of the corner of her eye she continues to size up the mighty cute TO.::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
::pats Gretel on the arm:: Gretel: Okay, my dear.

CTO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Commander all repairs are complete and all supplies are stowed

Lt_Nakamura says:
::turns to follow the Captain, hoping to have time away from the others::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::sees what's going on between Gretel an this new fellow and does not like it at all, frowns a bit::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CNS: Perhaps that would be advisable counselor

SO_So`Quon says:
::the moment of truth arrives, and the TL stops at the bridge::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
CO: Lead on Captain.  Let's get this show on the road!

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Gives Dr Kragen a slight hug then whispers again.:: Dr Kragen:  Besides they are fools if they don't see your brilliance.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CTO*:  Very good Lt.  Make sure that we are prepared to depart the moment the CO gives the okay.

CNS_Jakiel says:
:;turns to operations:: OPS:  Could you tell me whom, what rank and the new crewmember's name is?

SO_So`Quon says:
::steps out feeling a change in the air, and looks around the bridge, holding his travel bag tighter than ever::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::follows along with Nakamura, whispers:: Nakamura: Why did you not introduce me to the Captain?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::smiles and indicates for the TO to follow along and keep the stragglers with the group:: Vandermark: Of course...right this way. ::heads out of the transporter room towards the cargo bay::

CTO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Aye commander .

TO_Re`Volos says:
::nods in acknowledgment to the CO, and falls in behind the last of the group::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::calls for a lift::

OPS_Keach says:
::Looks over to the CNS:: CNS: the crew member's name is So'Quon and with a rank of ensign I believe

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Moves away from Kragen and walks ahead... discretely slipping her arm through the TO's she continues to walk.::  TO:  My Name is Greta and you are?

OPS_Keach says:
CNS: I could be wrong, I don't know for sure either ::smiles::

SO_So`Quon says:
::takes a glance at his orders PADD, seeing the names and faces of the CO and XO, and looks for them::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walking along the corridor:: *XO*: We are heading to the cargo bay.  All of the scientists are on board.  As soon as we check the manifest get us on our way.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::quietly follows behind::

CTO_K`Vas says:
*EO Reed*: Ensign make sure all systems are on line.  The commander wants the ship ready for departure

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns to look at OPS, surprised and smiles:: OPS:  Well, let's see if he answers my hail...we should find out that way.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CTO*: Make sure all personnel are accounted for as well.

Lt_Nakamura says:
Juarez: We will need to keep an eye out.  I want this to go accordingly.

SO_So`Quon says:
::hears a vaguely familiar Betazed voice, and looks in that direction::

CTO_K`Vas says:
<EO Reed>*CTO* : Yes sir.  The ship is ready.  And Lieutenant congratulations on the transfer

CNS_Jakiel says:
*SO*: Ensign?  Would you have arrived by now?

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::sighs a bit dejectedly:: Nakamura: I understand.... ::sounds disappointed::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::surprised by the contact, Re'Volos stumbles through his sentence:: Greta: Lt. Leiko Re'Volos, ma'am.

CMO_Hunter says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CTO_K`Vas says:
*EO Reed* : K`Vas out

Lt_Nakamura says:
Juarez: I will introduce you just as soon as we get to the cargo bay.  I didn't want him ::points to Kragen:: to start his usual argument so soon.

SO_So`Quon says:
::as if burdened by a terrible force hanging over him, he walks over to Jakiel::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::nods:: Nakamura: Yeah, lousy Kragen. ::sounds bitter::

OPS_Keach says:
::Watches the SO walk onto the bridge::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Giggles:: TO:  Please to meet you... ::Looks up at him with her big bright blue eyes::  So tell what do you do on this ship.  Must be something important. Not like me...  I'm the assistant to Dr Kragen... A great scientist but he likes to bicker with the rest as you can see.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::decides to go back to the Cargo Bay to greet the scientist::  *CO*: Aye ma'am I will meet you there.

CNS_Jakiel says:
:;stands, waiting for an answer, wondering if he has boarded::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::silently wishes Gretel would stop being Kragen's assistant... she's far too good... wonderful... lovely... sighs::

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS:: Morning Ensign, I take it the CO and XO are with our guests?

CTO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Yes commander all personnel are ready

OPS_Keach says:
CMO: You are correct Doctor

SO_So`Quon says:
::his piercing red eyes gaze blankly into Jakiel's, his face expressionless, then...slowly a smile emerges::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::leading the group:: Kragen: No one has touched your cargo as per orders, but if at all possible I would like to have a copy of the manifest. ::heads into the cargo bay and indicates the crates and containers put aside::

OPS_Keach says:
CMO: What brings you to the bridge, anyway?

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
CO: Plan on stealing my secrets like everybody else?  Bah!

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::having arrived just moments before the group turns to greet them::  CO: Captain.

TO_Re`Volos says:
Greta: I am a tactical officer aboard the Delphyne. But I have great respect for anyone who can puzzle their way through scientific problems.

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS:: Stretching my legs, I tend to wander to the bridge when things are slow in sickbay

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: Kragen: I assure you, Doctor.  I am far too busy to pursue any scientific research.

SO_So`Quon says:
::his voice deep, yet gentle:: CNS: Ahh. It tisss' ssshe-who-counselsss. From the academy, indeed.

OPS_Keach says:
CMO: I bet things get even worse when the whole ship is on shore leave huh? ::chuckles::

Lt_Nakamura says:
CO: Captain, when can the testing begin?  We have much to do.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::is startled to see So'Quon already on the bridge::  SO:  So'Quon!  You haven't changed a bit, have you?  ::leans a little closer:: Try behaving while up here, okay?

Gretel_Vandermark says:
TO:  Ooooo A man's man...  Science is just logic if applied properly.  It's step by step tediousness that must be done.   So have you shot anyone?

Dr_Gustav_Kragen says:
::waves his hand:: CO: Talk to Gretel.  I'm to busy to worry about manifests.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns and sees Sykora approaching:: All: I would like to introduce my XO, Commander Tarrez-Hunter.

SO_So`Quon says:
::eyes narrow, a warm smile still holding:: CNS: Forgive my...conduct. It has been sssso long sssince we have met.

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS:: Indeed ::looks around:: wow, yeah it is slow today, Oh yeah, did you get a new shipment of Cerebral stimulators?

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: looks over at the SO :: SO: Ensign do you have your orders?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::flushes a little at the complement, and is glad his skin is dark enough to hide it:: Greta: When the occasion required it.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::quietly goes and looks over his equipment::

Lt_Nakamura says:
CO/XO: Captain, Commander this is my assistant Ensign JM Juarez.  I would like for him to handle any extra questions during our stay here.  I will need to concentrate.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::clears her throat and glances over at her mate::  SO:  Yes, it has.  Have you been able to get settled in your quarters yet?  ::stops and waits for her husband to be answered::

OPS_Keach says:
::Thinks about what those were:: CMO: Cerebral stimulators.... hmm, let me see, where did I put them?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  Scientists and assistants: I have read much about each of you and I am honor to have this opportunity to work beside you in this venture.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Her voice elevated and she rubs one hand over a bulging muscle in his upper arm::  TO:  You must tell me about your adventures... ::Quickly looks over to Kragen to make sure he doesn't need her.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Nakamura: As soon as we find an appropriate area which we will embark to...::looks around:: in a few minutes.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::almost bounces with enthusiasm:: CO/XO: I am so pleased to meet you both... ::eagerly reaches out to shake their hands::

OPS_Keach says:
CMO: Doctor, you did not put those on the proper request forms

SO_So`Quon says:
CNS: Not yet, Dr. Jakiel.

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS:: oh for the....I bloody well did, ::mumbles something about requisition forms for requisition forms::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak>::silently stands behind the captain at his full height::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::shakes hands a bit distractedly and smiles at the eager ensign:: Juarez: The pleasure is mine.  If you will excuse me Ensign.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> CO: Excuse me Ma'am...

SO_So`Quon says:
::looks over to the CTO:: CTO: Yesss, I do...s- ::tries to prevent the lisp::, sir.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::clears his throat:: Greta: I could show you around the Del when I get off duty, maybe stop for a drink in the lounge.

OPS_Keach says:
::Looks closer at his list on the console barely able to hold back his laughter:: CMO: Oh..... here they are ::smiles and laughs::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles and shakes the Ensigns hand allowing the CO to deal with the rest of the group as she manages the eager beaver::  Juarez: Pleasure to meet you.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Looks up at him once again and smiles.:: TO:  I'd be honored.

SO_So`Quon says:
::hands over the orders PADD to the CTO::

OPS_Keach says:
CMO: Check your sickbay, someone might have delivered them there

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns and looks at the Vulcan:: Sorak: You must be Sorak.

CTO_K`Vas says:
SO: Bring them here, front and center

SO_So`Quon says:
::cares very little for prim and proper protocol, but still approaches as ordered, and give his order to the CTO::

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
CO: Thank you Captain.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: If you will all excuse me I will get us on our way. ::smiles and indicates to Sykora to take over and then hastily retreats to the turbo lift::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::is pleased she knows his name:: CO: Ah yes. I had hoped to introduce myself to you earlier... my apologies for my... ::clears throat:: colleague... ::indicates Kragen with his eyes:: and his... boldness.

OPS_Keach says:
CMO: By the way, Doctor, what does a cerebral stimulator do?

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
::moves to his supplies and begins to check::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::takes a step away from So'Quon and respectfully waits for K'Vas to look over his orders. Glances at the CMO and OPS, having heard a little bit of their 'discussion'::

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS::  Excellent, thank you ensign.

CMO_Hunter says:
::steps down into the command pit:: CTO/CNS/SO:: What do we have here?

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gives the CO a pleading look as she starts having second thoughts::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Oh my... how exciting!

SO_So`Quon says:
::thinks loud and clearly for Jakiel's benefit, "you and I both know science can do without the formal Starfleet protocol nonsense"::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: looks over the orders and hands them to the CMO :: CMO : Commander this is the new science officer

CNS_Jakiel says:
CMO:  We have Ensign So'Quon reporting for duty.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns at the door:: Sorak: It is all right.  We'll talk later. ::gives Sykora a look and then turns and leaves::

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
Juarez: Let's make certain everything is here then we can unpack.

SO_So`Quon says:
::sighs, trying not to look at the Klingon too much, already irritated by his manner, then looks at the CMO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::heads up to the bridge and enters:: CTO: Report, Lt.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::hears his boss:: Nakamura: Oh yes ma'am! ::sound eager::

OPS_Keach says:
::Looks down at the SO talking to the CNS and CTO::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Narrows her eyes at So'Quon and barely gives her head a shake at him, thinking he hasn't changed::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All:  ::forces a smile on her face::  If I can be of any service to you let me know.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Lets out a long suffering sigh.:: TO:  I best get to work....I'll definitely hold you to that drink later.

CMO_Hunter says:
CTO:: Ahhh thank you Lt. ::takes the orders and looks them over:: Ensign So'Qoun, welcome to the Delphyne. I’m Doctor Hunter, the Ships CMO.

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
::watches Juarez and wonders if she was that enthusiastic as an Ensign::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::turns to his work just in time to hear Gretel, glowers at her words, gives her a scathing look::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::checks the manifest with the cargo herself an sees that it lines up::

TO_Re`Volos says:
Greta: At your earliest convenience, once the shift is over.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::heads to the center seat:: OPS: Ensign, everything ready for departure?

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS:: ::looks at them both:: You two know each other?

CTO_K`Vas says:
All: Captain on deck.  :: stands at attention :: CO : Captain the ship stands ready for departure

SO_So`Quon says:
::pleased to meet another fellow science colleague:: CMO: We are truly well met, doctor. ::musters a short smile::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::goes back to eagerly unpacking::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Captain, the ship has been ready for the last half hour, Ma'am

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
Gretel: Let's go woman!  I want to make certain it's all here before that Captain gets the ship moving!

CMO_Hunter says:
::comes to a very relaxed attention::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak> ::slowly and methodically unpacks::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
::continues to check his instruments::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Nods:: TO:  I will find you... ::Walks over to Kragen but first winks at Juarez as she goes by.:: Dr Kragen: Dr what do you need?  I know everything is here I pack this myself.

SO_So`Quon says:
::almost forgets himself, and stands attention::

CMO_Hunter says:
SO:: A pleasure ensign, Do stop by sickbay some time soon so i might update my records....

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hears the CTO and nods, noticing a new officer on board but lets it slide for a moment:: CTO/OPS: Excellent.  Ensign Keach, take us out.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks up at her mate::  CTO  Sir, do you how much time we'll be docked....  ::stops as she is addressed by Hunter::  CMO:  Yes, we are well acquainted with each other.  The University on Betazed...science classes.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands out of the way and over by the TO::  TO: New friend?

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS:: Same for you Ensign, I haven’t forgotten

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
Gretel: You may have packed it but you didn't transport it.  And believe me, I KNOW what a transporter can do!

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::smiles back at Gretel's wink... ah... she loves me!::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::bristling a little at the way Dr. Kragen spoke to his assistant::

SO_So`Quon says:
CMO: It ssshall be done, when time permitsss.

OPS_Keach says:
::Switches control of helm to his Ops console:: CO: moving out with thrusters

TO_Re`Volos says:
::clears his throat:: XO: Greta Vandermark, Dr. Kragen's assistant. She was interested in a tour of the ship, ma'am.

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS:: ahhh Friendly faces always help with adjustment to a new ship don’t they Counselor?

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Chuckles:: Dr Kragen:  Remember a transporter is only as good as the operator.  From what I can see these are mighty fine people and it will do you good to be a little more polite.  ::A soft admonishment but said with a smile.::

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
Juarez: I believe everything is here.  Let's unpack a little here.  But we will wait, ::glances over her shoulder at Kragen:: until we have some privacy before unpacking it all.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: See about getting a manifest of that cargo, Commander.

SO_So`Quon says:
::overhears the CMO/CNS chat and thinks, "it certainly does indeed," winks at Jakiel::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::nods with understanding:: Ahhhh... good idea Ma'am! ::stops unpacking::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: What heading, Ma'am?

CNS_Jakiel says:
CMO:  Yes, they do at that.  ::carefully tries to sense her mate's response to this::  I don't think he'll have much of a problem adjusting to life aboard a starship.  ::looks pointedly at the ensign::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: hears the counselors question, but doesn't interrupt her conversation with the commander :

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CO*: I have already acquired it and now that we are under way I am having one of Keach's men see to checking it all out.

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
::runs his fingers through his gray hair:: Gretel: You might be right.  Go on, go flirt with your little officer.  I want you back here in an hour ready to start unpacking.  I'm going to call Mary.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Far side of our patrol area in the Arteline Sector, Ensign.  You'll find the coordinates in the database.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Thank you Commander.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Chuckles:: Dr Kragen:  As much as I like to, he is on duty.

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Ah, yes, okay ::checks the database and inputs the coordinates::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hands the PADD over to one of the crewmen in OPS department::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Dr Kragen:  Besides he is taking me on a tour later on... I can flirt to my hearts content then... For now I am yours and the rest of the teams.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns and looks at the new officer:: SO: Ensign, may I help you?

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
Gretel: Then get to unpacking.  No need having the Captain wait for us.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: I see no harm in a VIP tour but ad heed to the rules and procedures as always.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
<Sorak>::pays no attention to anyone else and gets to his work::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO:: May I present our new science officer Ensign So'qoun ::hands her the ensigns orders::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Nods at the Dr and goes to the nearest crate and begins the arduous task of unpacking.::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Captain, are you aware that the mentioned coordinates will take us 1 million km from the neutral zone?

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
XO: Ma'am, we prefer to unpack at a later time.  Might we see our quarters?

SO_So`Quon says:
::moves front and center to the CO, and calmly bows his head to her:: CO: Tis' I who ssshall help you, ma'am. Ssscience officer So'Quon at your command.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Yes Ensign.  You have your orders.

TO_Re`Volos says:
XO: Of course, Commander.

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Of course, Captain ::darts his view back to his console::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  TO: I leave you in charge down here.  Nakamura: Of course I will show you myself. ::motions to the door and escorts them away::

OPS_Keach says:
::Thinks about a possible future at helm, then remembers how good he has it at ops::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::nods to the XO, and stands at ease to the side of the room, observing the scientists unpacking::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::reads his orders:: SO: Very good Ensign.  You may take your station.

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
Juarez: Let's find our quarters. ::turns to follow the XO::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne moves away from Starbase 39-S and heads out into open space.  Once clear of the area, the ship goes to warp.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::moves to stand beside K'Vas, looking up at him, placing her hands behind her back::  CTO: And?  I was just curious.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::nods and follow Nakamura::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Clearing the station, going to warp

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
::waits until they are clear of the Cargo Bay:: XO: I apologize for Dr. Kragen.  He is old, rude, and stubborn.  I fear that is on a good day.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Continues to pull out various equipment making sure the survived the transport then lays them out in order.::

SO_So`Quon says:
::bows his head once more to the CO and heads over to science II::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::thinks she feels the ship moving and frowns::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: looks down at the counselor ::  CNS : And what are you wondering Lieutenant?

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::laughs at Nakamura's description of Kragen to the XO::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I was wondering if we still had shore leave, but I think I just felt the answer.  ::sighs::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
Gretel: We need to start getting it together. ::picks up the pieces and starts hooking them up::

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
JM/Nakamura:  ::nods but doesn't comment about the Doctor::  I must say that I am excited by this opportunity.  If you are successful this will radically change the politics on this side of the galaxy.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::steps over to the CTO and says quietly:: CTO: Lt.  There seems to be some tension between the scientists.  Keep security personnel stationed at discreet locations wherever they are.  We don't need a brawl between them.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Dr Kragen: Easy Doctor…we are going to need help.  Maybe you could ask that nice Capt if she has anyone qualified.  ::Pulls out another piece of equipment.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CNS: No counselor shore leave is over  :: leans down and says quietly :: But we still have off duty time  :: stands back up ::

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
XO: That is the goal.  There is much to be accomplished here.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::smiles, eager:: XO: Yes! I quite agree... and the Lieutenant here... ::referring to Nakamura:: she's brilliant!

CNS_Jakiel says:
::stifles a smile at her mate's comment:: CO:  Maybe 'check' to see if they're doing alright from time to time?

SO_So`Quon says:
::checks status of the LRS, lateral sensor pallets, and the integrity of the deflector dish::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
Nakamura: I just know our device will work!

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
Gretel: Bah!  Captain?  Nice?  Since when is a Captain nice?  Worried about their vessels!  Worried about their crew!  Don't care a flip about old me like me.

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
Juarez: I hope so JM, I do hope so.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
JM/Nakamura:  Nevertheless I look forward to working with all of you.  I have been missing working in the labs since I became the XO of this ship.

XO: How long have you been on the Delphyne Commander?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the CNS a little irritated as her comment wasn't supposed to be overheard:: CNS: No Counsellor...I don't think counselling will help this lot. But thank you.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
JM/Nakamura: ::leads them onto the lift::  Nearly 4 years now, and yes I was the CSO for a part of that time.

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
Gretel: Maybe.

CTO_K`Vas says:
*TO*: Re'Volos keep a watch on our guests, and posts patrols to keep an eye on them during their stay.  The captain wants no fights and no surprises

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::sounds amazed:: XO: Wow.....

CNS_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes ma'am.  ::steps away from the CTO, hearing the captain's irritation::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CTO*: I'll assign patrols as soon as this shift is over

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
::enters his quarters and heads to the console::

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
::in her quarters, changing clothes::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Quickly changes into jade green jumpsuit... looking in the mirror she decides to do an upsweep with her long blond hair.  This is done with a few discretely placed pins.  She looks at her herself once again.::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::is so eager to be here, he practically bounces off the walls::

SO_So`Quon says:
::finally makes it into the lounge and spots the face of the XO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::in her ready room getting ready for the dinner with the scientists.  Looks at the little dog sitting on the couch, said a bit grumpily:: Dog: Be glad you can stay here.  I have a feeling it will be an eventful evening.

XO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::orders a glass of ice water and turns around to lean against the bar::

TO_Re`Volos says:
<Rikki> ::looks up from his treat and chitters at Re'Volos::

Host Brett says:
<Rikki> ::Squeaks and pulls a loose sock under the dresser.::

Lt_Nakamura_ says:
::sits on the edge of the bed to put on her shoes::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::takes one last  look at Dog who was lying on her back snoozing on the couch and sighs before turning and leaving the ready room to the lounge::

SO_So`Quon says:
::moves to the bar about 10 feet away from the XO:: XO: Not enough humidity in the air...

CNS_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Yes, it is...  ::smiles in anticipation::

Dr_Gustav_Kragen_ says:
