Prologue:  The Delphyne has arrived at its new home, Star base 310.  One of the Buckingham design stations that saw a great deal of action during the Dominion War, and continues to hold  peace in the sector.
 
The station is between Betazed and DS9, right on the Cardassian DMZ.  With the Cardassians,  the Breen, and the Ferengi this sector can be a little unstable.
 
The transport with the belongings and the family members of the Del's crew from SB23 arrived  two days prior.  Everyone seems to be settled in.  A great deal of care seems to have been put into getting the crews families settled.
 
With the Delphyne secured and the station engineers giving it a thorough inspection, the crew  has some time to look over their new home.
 
The CO has invited her senior staff to join her in a drink at the local bar, the "A Rock and a  Hard Place".  Well someone had a sense of humor during the war obviously.  CO is to buy the first round.  Some traditions should be kept, especially when someone else is buying.
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter One-  “Changes” Not  always for the better or the worse.  Star date 10804.02

Silver Fox: I guess you have a new home my friend.

OPS: You may be right, but tell me...how do you enjoy being the ships mascot?  Did they issue you a bowl with your name on it? :: laughs with his friends::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tenses at the confrontation::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO/OPS: Now, gentlemen...let our neighbor speak his mind.  At least it will be a short conversation.

Glinn_Latek says:
CTO: Or you will set both of your dogs after me? :: laughs again ::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: starts to rise but lets it go as the captain speaks::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
Glinn:  You might want to be careful Twelk here has a tendency to eat people who annoy him.

Glinn_Latek says:
CEO: Obviously only small people and how brave you must be to hide behind your mascot

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: has a sinister looking grin on his face::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Skipper excuse me but it seems i have rubbish to take out

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
Glinn:  I hide behind no one

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::rises to his full height::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
Glinn: If you value your life you will respect this gallant crew.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
Glinn: They are only being nice and so as not to have to hurt you to bad.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::does not move::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::holds up her hand to stop the CTO and turns to Glinn:: Glinn: Why don't you go and bother someone else.  We're busy having a good time and intelligent conversation...and you are not equipped enough to join in.

Glinn_Latek says:
:: points at the CO:: Aloud: There is one small enough for your dog to eat, really it looks like Starfleet buys their commanders by the pound...from the size of this one, the budget is spent

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:

Glinn Latek:: We may, buy our commander, But at least we don't live on the leash of the Dominion

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks at OPS and bows:: OPS: I do believe its my turn to go first this time

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::sets his drink down and slowly stands::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CMO: They do us a great dishonor by speaking like that.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: I do mind.  I will have no part of this.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: I think you went first last time friend?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Not really. Tell you what why don't we just both go together

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs and closes here eyes as the mayhem begins
 
Action: The Glinn jerks the CMO to his feet just as the chair hits him in the head sending the Cardassian down to one knee

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Just remember not to hurt them to bad.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: reaches out and grabs the Cardassian that hit the Captain and pulls him toward him making like he is going to take a chunk out of his throat::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
Out loud: Qu'Valth!!!

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::stands amidst a pile of bodies like an ancient Norse warrior::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::Grabs the Cardy from behind that’s attacking the CO::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks for OPS and bellows:: OPS: That makes 6 for me

CEO_Lt_Heller says:

Action: A large Klingon, better than 7 feet tall walks into view using a large cane, on his uniform the rank of Rear Admiral can be seen.

Info: The giant of a Klingon moves easily even though he uses a cane to supplement a bad right leg.  The cane has the same greenish color as a Klingon ship hull, because it is made from the same material.  On top the cane a polished, chrome looking, Klingon skull adorns the cane.  The grip is made of targ hide.  It is obvious this can has more purposes than just helping its owner walk..

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::closes her eyes::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: But somehow i still think were up the creek

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO ::Whispers:: Dang it... now I won't be able to tell you all that I told you so.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:

Action: The Cardassians begin to drag themselves out of the bar, one makes a comment and gets the cane upside the head

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::extends his hand to the Cardassian at his feet::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles and whispers back:: CSO: I'm sure you'll work it in somehow.

CMO: Owyn you look well old friend

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hears the Rear Admiral::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: K`Vas: I didn't seem to do too badly with you.  Maybe this will be my retirement vocation...whipping young Klingon pups into shape.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: whispers:: CTO: I hope that he isn't talking about me when he say pup? I am not really sure I could take him for saying that?

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CSO: Sykora please commander come up so I can greet a crew mate properly

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CSO: You were a good student, I hope Owyn didn’t incur too many bruises due to my lessons

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::picks up the table and a few chairs and fixes them::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
ADM: Aye sir,

RAMD_K`Vas says:
FCO: I expect you to give the Delphyne and its crew your best.  You dishonor them and you dishonor me, I will not allow that

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
ADM: She’s a tough ole ship. It’s an honor to serve on her

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
RAMD: Can I get you a drink?  ::grins::  K'Beth is paying.

Dog says:
::runs over from where she was wisely hiding from under a table and paws at K`Vas’ ankle.  Looks up at him and sneezes at him::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits and refills his glass::

RAMD_K`Vas says:
OPS: Well done, I assume you found the programs I loaded into the Delphyne. I hope you put them to good use

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CEO: So you finding keeping the Delphyne functional to be a full time job lieutenant

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
K`Vas: I think it's the other way around.  She owns me.  Come and sit down and join us. ::starting to feel the effects of the fight:: I think I need a seat...I'm getting too damn old for this. ::limps heavily over to the table and her chair::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gets the Warnog and picks up the rest of her Sunrise before moving back to re-join the group.::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::picks up Silver Fox and  sits down at the table  rubbing her sore head::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
K`Vas:  Yeah that it is sure, but not to worry I will keep her in one piece, more or less.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
RADM: Here you are. ::hands him the glass::

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CO: Not too loudly, if you are getting old then so am I.  Don’t let my mate here that :: laughs again ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves back to sit next to her husband::  CMO: Are you implying something dear?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at him as she sits down and orders another scotch from the waitress...a double this time:: K`Vas: Mate? ::fishes out a melting piece of ice from someone's drink glass and holds it over her swollen eye::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins to mentally catalogue his injuries::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO:: No you're only as old as the women you feel :;grins::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::runs her hands over her body slowly to look for any more injuries::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::grins as he sucks up::

RAMD_K`Vas says:

:: whispers to the CO:: CO: That is if she is up to it, she is very close to the end of her pregnancy

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::takes her drink as the RADM does the toast::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
RADM: Please tell me it isn't a formal dinner?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: I know wasn't it? I'm not sleeping on the couch tonight, hurts my back. :;laughs::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::grimaces at the word 'dinner'  and then winces as grimacing was not a good idea:: K`Vas: Dinner? Not formal. I hope?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
RADM: I was going to ask you how your wife was doing?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sips the rum savoring the flavor::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::laughs at hearing Owyn and pokes him in the side playfully

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CSO: No, more of a family dinner.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO: Gah! Don’t do that I’m libel to suffer a horrible heart attack ::laughs::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::is quiet::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::wrinkles her nose::  CMO: Man do you smell

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CMO: She does well, very soon I am told she will be a mother.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::pushes him away from her a bit::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::does a double take and speaks quieter:: K`Vas: Pregnancy...well you old son of a targ...::chuckles at the thought of little K`Vases running around::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO:: I know I kicked that Cardassian in the throat and he vomited all over my tunic.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sniffs at the CMO:: CSO: Ah the smell of victory

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles and pours another glass::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:; You sir, are sick and twisted....part of why i keep you around.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::switches drinks to blood wine and downs the jug quickly::

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CTO: No not victory that is the smell of a broken waste management unit :: laughs again ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
K`Vas: Perhaps our children can have play dates in the future.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::laughs out loud:: CMO: All part of my charming persona Doc

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::takes the glass from the waitress and a large sip before holding it up to her bruised face::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
All: Yeah I stink. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to change into another uniform...you all going to be here for a while?

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::downs the rest of his drink and downs another.::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::gets another Blood wine and downs it quickly::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: As long as my paycheck can sustain us, Doc.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
::finishes the drink he has and order another one::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO: Excellent, I'll be back in a few minutes

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CSO: Perhaps but that would be something to ask Serena about.  I still remember my captain’s words, "it leaks...from both ends " :: laughs again ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Dang than we should have left 30 minutes ago

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::laughs at K`Vas' words as she too remembers::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::shudders:: K`Vas: They do...and when they don't leak...they howl...

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::is to intent on getting totally drunk::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::squeezes Sys shoulder as he gets up to leave and heads back to there quarters::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::grabs another drink and leans back in his chair::

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CO: Perhaps they will just need a Klingon baby sitter

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: flirts with the waitress when she returns with his drink::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::downs one more Blood wine::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits patiently::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::leans back in her chair and looks around at the bar and her crew and the splinters of broken furniture on the floor and now her protégé as the sector commander and chuckles:: All: I think we're going to do well here at our new home.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles::

RAMD_K`Vas says:
CTO: Lieutenant, I read the reports... the loss of your mate...she died with honor that is all that can be asked

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
ADM: Thank you sir. I can ask no more than that. Her death brought honor to us all
