Summary:  The Delphyne has been properly welcomed to her new home with the traditional dinner and even a bar fight.
 
The crew have been settled into their temporary quarters they will use when the ship is not on  patrol or when they chose to leave family members off ship during a particularly dangerous  patrol. And everyone's luggage made it as well; better than flying the friendly skies.
 
Now the admiral has sent a private communication ordering the Delphyne to take position near the planet Delavi and the Rolor nebula.  And wait for further instructions.  What surprises the admiral might have in store remain to be seen.
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Two-  “Changes”  Starting a new patrol.  Star date 10804.09

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::walks on to the bridge of the Del and takes up her station at SCI 1::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: It sure was the only thing that would have made it a better night was if I could have gotten together with the waitress later.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Skipper the Torpedo magazines are topped up and the Phasers are ready to rock and roll

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods a greeting to K'Beth::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Good job, Lt.

Station OPS says:
COM: Delphyne: CO : You are cleared for departure, proceed to your assigned patrol route :: comm. cuts, from the tone it was either a Vulcan or an Android...never tell the two apart ::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles at Twelk:: OPS: one in every port

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Are we ready to depart?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Science is ready for departure.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: The only way to fly. :: smiles::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Plot a course to the planet Delavi.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: Noted, Commander

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps a command on her small screen:: CO: All departments report ready, Cpatian

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:

OPS: All ahead, half impulse.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: Aye Cmdr. :: moves the ship away at half impulse::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::grins::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Board is clear except for registered traffic Boss

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain All subspace channels are clear for now.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
*CO*:  Everything looks great down here captain.  For once I think the star base crews did pretty good.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::watching the view screen:: XO: I always liked this view.  Let's go warp 6, we're not in a rush.
 
Action: The Delphyne slowly and gracefully detaches from the star base and makes its turn to come about to its new heading

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good, keep an eye on the smaller traffic, just in case someone decides to get in our way.   Wouldn't do to have them smeared on our ships hull now

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::monitors the scans as she converses with her right-hand man::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Excellent work, Lt.  And send my congratulations and thanks to your people.  They pulled out a few miracles.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Understood, Ma'am.  OPS: Once away, make speed warp 6

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
SO Peters: Make sure those Toverian spouts stay in their controlled environment.  I don't want to walk in and find them vining out all over the science lab.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: watches as the Del clears port and wait till they make the marker before going to warp 6::

SO_Peters says:
  ::nods::  CSO: Aye ma'am.
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins setting up scans::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
:: runs a series of LRS::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
*CO*:  Thanks Captain I'll pass it on.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: clears the markers and take the ship to warp 6:: XO: Taking the ship to warp 6 now Cmdr.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::heads into his office to catch up on some paper work::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods:: OPS: So noted, Lt

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Appears we have some company Skipper
 
Action: The Del accelerates smoothly, no vibrations or rattles.  Would never guess she is over 100 years old

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Can you identify?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: That was fast

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::checks the scans again wondering how she missed the company::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Appears we have a fan club on the other side of the border. The Cardies are shadowing us

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: feels the ship accelerate and likes how well she handles::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO/CTO: What can I say, we're popular.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Just keep an eye on them, Lt.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sets sensors to monitor there shadow::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::gets a glint in her eye:: XO: What do you say we confuse them for a little bit?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Maybe we should make a few tricky moves and see if they can keep up. :: Grins::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Think those rust buckets could keep up?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::watches K'Beth:: CO: What do you have in mind?  ::slight pause before she remembers:: Ma'am

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: very doubtful

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
SO: Is it my imagination or does it appear that our sensors seem to be more fine tuned than normal?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: I’m surprised they can make it out of space dock
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Reverse course....go for two minutes and then reverse course again on this heading...go for another two minutes and reverse course again...wait two minutes and then set us back on this course.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles at the CO:: CO: your an evil woman skipper

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: chuckles:: CTO: very true

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: That should give them something to talk about. :chuckles and sips her coffee::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::both eyebrows are raised and what can only be called a silly grin shows:: CO: That it should indeed, Captain

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain we going to have some fun. :: sets up the course changes::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Why thank you, Lt.  That is the nicest compliment I've received in a long while.

SO_Peters says:
::nods::  CSO: Aye, ma'am the station did a bang up job with the repairs.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: engages the first course change:; CO: Reversing course Captain.
 
Action: The Del begins the maneuvers that the CO has ordered, after the second course change the Cardassians are looking a little puzzled

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: waits the allotted time and changes the course again:: CO: Reversing course again captain.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: It is working Skipper they appear to be a tad confuzzled
 
Action: Incoming hail

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Didn't I see your dog doing something like this not too long ago, Captain?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::continues to monitor the Cardi`s::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: What can you say it is just a bunch of spoon head after all.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: We are being hailed Captain.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::lifts her coffee cup in a salute:: CTO: Confusion to the Cardassians.  Q'apla.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::smiles:: OPS: We could always put them in a circular room and tell them to sit in the corner

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks under her chair at the little furry creature sleeping under it:: XO: She was?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: On screen

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: It seemed like it

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: I believe that would consider cruel and unusual punishment.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: There only Cardys I don’t think anyone would complain

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: Reverses course again:: CO: reversing course again captain.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: puts the COM on screen:: CO: On screen captain.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO/OPS: Now boys, we should play nice....::pauses and grins at them:: Until we need to not be nice

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sends out the latest rotation schedule to her department::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Commander I’m hurt. Were always nice ::gives an evil grin::
 
Action: And older human in a Starfleet captain’s uniform appears on the screen.  The hail is coming from the USS North Sea
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: North Sea: This is Captain K'Beth of the USS Delphyne.  how may we be of service, Captain?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: That is true Cmdr we were nice to those spoon head in the bar by showing them out.

CO_Larkson says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Greeting Captain :: with a big smile ::  I guess on the official log this is going to go down as a helm training maneuver right ?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: I think it was downright hospitable of us

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smirks over hearing the other Captain::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: How true it wasn't our fault that they couldn't stand up.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: COM: Larkson: Let's just say that we are testing our maneuverability in this quadrant.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Kanar will do that to you

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks back at McQueen and then at Twelk:: OPS: I missed that bit ::blushes slightly but has a funny grin::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Oh commander it was a glorious battle

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: That was to bad Cmdr it was a lot of fun.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: There we were me and Twelk and what? Two dozen spoon heads was it?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::eyes glance in the direction of the OPS and CTO and their conversation with the XO::

CO_Larkson says:
COM :Delphyne : CO : Understood captain.  Since you do not need assistance I will be on my way. :: with a devilish grin :: By the way, try flying in circles, it really messes with them...I know.  Larkson out. :: salutes and closes comm. ::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::rolls eyes:: CTO/OPS: I see

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Out loud: I think we're going to like it here.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Does sound like it will be fun Captain.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::grins evilly:: XO: And our glorious Captain fought like a demon

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Let's make a few smaller circles and then we'll get on our way.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: It should be an interesting time, Ma'am

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::finishes with a stack of reports and decides to head up to the bridge::
 
Action: The Cardassians break into two groups, half shadowing the direction you came from the other half shadowing the Del

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: makes the last course change:: CO: Reversing course again captain.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
Self: Oh this is funny

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: They have split into two groups Skipper

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::frowns and throws herself back into her work::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::keeps his eyes on sensors::
 
Action: A rather well assembled blonde ensign winks at the CEO as he heads for the turbo-lift

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: One half have headed back and the other half are trying to stick with us

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. Shall I make them over lapping?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Sure....and throw in a loopy-loo if you'd like.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: A barrel roll?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sets up the circle course:: CO: Aye Captain course layed in.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees the CSO frown:: CSO: Anything amiss, Commander?

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::grins at the blonde as he walks past::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: yes I have one of those laid in also.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Just gimme a seconds warning

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up at the CO caught a bit off guard::  CSO: No, ma'am.  Just dealing with a few departmental issues is all.
 
Action: The Ensign is very friendly, whispers in the CEO's ear when her shift is over and where she will be eating dinner.  Then walks off, rather interestingly shall we say

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Warning?  We won't feel anything in here with the gravity on.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Shall I engage Captain?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CO: Ah...all right.
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Engage, Lt.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::makes a mental note of the time and place and watches her walk away.::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::keeps his eyes on sensors watching the Cardies::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: engages the circle course:: CO: Aye Captain engaging now.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks back down hating that she had just lied to her commander and friend, but she was to embarrassed at her thoughts to share them::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: watches the ships course as they make the first circle::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs and works on finishing her report to the command staff concerning the encrypted files discovered during the last mission::
 
Action: The Del begins her acrobatics, the ship moves easily.  Suddenly there is an explosion on the other side of the Cardassian border

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::enters the turbo-lift and heads for the bridge::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::notes the explosion:: CO: Whoops it appears someone had an accident

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: What happened one of those spoon heads run into and asteroid or something?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Turns to face McQueen:: CTO: Can you pinpoint where?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: It appears two Cardies tried to follow us and didnt make it. No survivors

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Maybe now they'll stop shadowing us.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::makes some last minute correction to grammar and form and then downloads it onto a PADD::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::exits the TL and takes over the engineering console::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::continues to watch the Cardies::
 
Action: The remaining Cardassians leave the area, probably don’t want to try to explain to the Gul what happened here

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: watches as the ship handles the manuvers so easy::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO/XO: They have left the area

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Take us back on course.  Warp 6.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins another set of LRS scans::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain laying course back in :: lays the original course in and engages at warp 6::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves from her station and towards the XO::  XO: Ma'am I have the final report on those encrypted files we found during the last mission.
 
Action: The Delphyne resumes course and speed

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::gets up and moves to the SCI station:: CSO: What did you find out, Commander?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::hands her coffee cup to the young bridge yeoman and asks for a refill::
 
CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hands the PADD to her as they met part way::  XO: One increases our forward shields for ramming and the other is safeties for repelling boarders

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: Interesting

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: This could make a difference in some of our encounters

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Indeed.  I must admit I have never been on a ship that rammed anything before.
 
Time Jump: The Delphyne is approaching Delavi, the Rolor Nebula can be seen on the view screen beyond the planet

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sets the ships auto pilot and goes to the replicator for some coffee:: CTO: Would you like something while I am at the replicator?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Thanks a coffee would be nice

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins running sensor sweeps of the area::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Sitting in her chair reading over the information on the padd::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks up form some PADDs she was reviewing and sees the nebula on the view screen:: Out loud: Now that is a thing of beauty.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: gets 2 cups of coffee and hands one to the CTO:: CO: Captain we are approaching Delavi now.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: nothing on sensors skipper, but the nebula is masking things

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Bring us into high orbit, Lt.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::takes the coffee:: OPS: Thanks

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Commander, the nebula is as expected affecting our sensors some what.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sips the coffee and continues to look over the sensor data::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Commander, can you boost our sensors to get around the nebula interference?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: That's to be expected I guess

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: take the ship out of warp and set it in a high orbit of the planet::
 
Action: Orbit achieved

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Perhaps some, but not entirely.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are in orbit of Delavi.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Now to find out why we are here.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: Would it help if we narrowed the scan beam?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Our luck it won't take too long, Captain

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::satisfied there is nothing on sensors swivels his chair around::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Computer: Dragon's Egg
 
 K`Vas_Image says:
Action: With the command spoken a recorded image of the admiral comes onto the screen and begins to speak

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Yes and we can set up some filters and boost the energy.  They are all tricks of my trade. ::smiles at the Lt.::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sits and watches the screen::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: But they won't be 100% affective.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: just let me know how much power you need. :: smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Self: So that's our new Admiral

 K`Vas_Image says:
CO: Well you have made it here, well done.  Captain I have one question for you, how would your crew like to be rebels.  If not then end this briefing and return to base :: image pauses for answer ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::eyes flash to the screen::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: This could be interesting Captain.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::grins:: All: I think tat we would be excellent rebels.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Self: Rebels, hmmmm?  CO: It's not pirates but rebels could be done

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::mutters::  Self: How come I suddenly feel like I am going on another Prism mission.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Computer: Record my acceptance of the mission.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits listening::

 K`Vas_Image says:
All: Very well.  Since the War many splinter groups have formed to try and complete the Dominions quest. We have always been able to stop them.  But now one group may have discovered a piece of technology that if replicated would turn the advantage

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sips her coffee and listens::

 K`Vas_Image says:
All: An operative sent back these photos and intelligence, before he died a glorious death.
 
Action: Pictures cycle on screen

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::leans forward after placing the padd on the arm of her chair::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: checks out the pictures as they cycle on the screen::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::watches the screen making mental notes::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::watches the pics as they cycle across the screen::

 K`Vas_Image says:
All: I need a ship and crew that can seem unhappy with their duty and Starfleet.  Willing to switch sides.  That is your mission.  Infiltrate and capture this station.   Or destroy it completely...leave nothing

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Out loud:  Sounds perfect for me

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
Self: Once more unto the breach

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Sounds do-able, Captain ::sits back in her chair::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: This is what I like a mission with a choice.

 K`Vas_Image says:
CO: That is your mission, when you return to the Star base if you find everything satisfactory, we will speak of the weather on Q'Onos.  No one is to know what you are doing.  Good luck captain

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Out loud: Interesting.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Guess we get to blow stuff up again

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Transfer those pictures to my ready room; I want to go over them before we start.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: Only if we can’t capture it and I go for the blowing up it is easier.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain:: transfers a copy of the pictures to the captain's ready room::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: Have you noticed they always send us when things need to be captured or blown up?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::stands up:: XO: Commander, you have the bridge.  I'll be in my ready room. ::limps into her ready room followed by Dog::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye Captain
 
Action: The Delphyne reverses course and returns to SB310 to begin their newest mission.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: that is because we always get the job done. :: smiles::
