Jakt, a Starfleet Marine who lost his life in the short war with the Klingons, and shakes his head:: Self: I told him the Marines were a bad idea.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
XO: Agreed, and perhaps we should suggest he takes some time for R&R while we inroute to the planet.

CEO_Lt_On says:
CSO: I have to report to the Captain now. See you later.

CEO_Lt_On says:
*CO*: On my way.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Heads for the turbolift:: CEO: What ever.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::pours another and sips this one::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: Dublin: Dublin, this is Captain McLir, Starfleet Operations returning your Captain's call.

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he takes the turbolift with Marshall::

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Enters the turbolift.  Tries to decide where to go, but hates the thought that the Captain is alone.  Decides to direct it to the Captain's quarters::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::nods at the CTO's suggestion:: CTO:  I'll talk to him later.  I'll see you back on the bridge in a few minutes.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:

<Moondoggie>: COM: McLir: Whoa...Hello sir, I'll tell the Captain you're on the line.

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks to the Captain's door.  Hesitates before ringing...then goes ahead::

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he tells the computer of the turbolift to go to the bridge::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@Self: Whoa? ::shakes head::

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::loosens the top of the uniform lets it get all messy, then wanders down the hall to the lounge::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*CTO*: Commander.  Just want to say...thank you for a service our comrades would have liked.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*CO*: Thank you sir.

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he exits the turbolift on to the bridge::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie>*CO*: Sir...I hate to disturb you but I got a Captain McLir from Starfleet Headquarters, like holding the line for you.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Quickly get out of her dress uniforms and changes to her regular one::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
XO: Well, that was a beautiful ceremony wasn't it?

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he is in the bridge now and he goes to the ready room::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*OPS*: Oh...patch him through.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CNS: Enter.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::arrives at the armory and changes out of his honor guard dress uniform, and back into the duty uniform of the day...::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Indeed.  I'm sure Jim would have liked it.

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::takes a seat in the middle of the lounge and leans back in his chair::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
XO: You miss him a lot don't you?

TO_Ens_Hodkinson says:
::enters the bridge and heads for his post::

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Steps in:: CO:  Captain, is this a bad time?
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> ::patches the call through muttering to himself:: Self: Like this is cosmic righteousness...Starfleet headquarters...cool

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: CO: Captain.. thank you for getting back to me.

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he waits outside the ready room ::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: Dublin: Captain O'Mallory. ::nods:: You wanted to talk to me?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CNS: No...just sit for right now.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::walks towards the turbolift:: FCO:  Yes, my love... a lot.  We've served together since I've become the CSO.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::exits the armory and heads for the bridge::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
<Rien>::looks over at Moondoggie:: OPS: The big cheese?

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Leaves her quarters and heads for the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Walks over to a chair nearby the Captain and waits while he talks::

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he rings the bell of the ready room::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::watches the crew mingle around and thinks that Yesman was the only person she really knew on board.  A feeling of loneliness wells up as she remembers Keely and 'Sika::::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::arrives on the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: McLir: What are you thinking of sending us back to the Meglean system?  Do you remember what they did to us just a moth or so ago? ::feels the Irish accent growing::  THEY DESTROYED MY SHIP ALONG WITH 275 OF MY CREW!

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Heads to the back and sits at her station::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: McLir: I just came from a service to remember them and you want us to go back!?!

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> FCO: Like totally....never thought I'd be swapping words with them...::grins a lopsided grin::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
XO: Somehow I don't think the Captain was feeling very pleased with things. Did you see the way he left so quickly?

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Rubs her temples as the Captain unleashes his anger.  Reaches into a pocket for an aspirin::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
All: I have got the conn. :::sits down in the Captain’s chair::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: O'Mallory: ::Eyes narrow; glances down at PADD in front of him then looks back at O'Mallory::  You or your ship not up to the orders Captain?

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::rests his hands behind his head and continues to stare at the ceiling of the lounge, whistling a tune::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Shrugs to the CTO's comment and tries to get some work done::

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he sees Marshall enters the bridge and he goes near her as he waits for the CO to receive him::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::steps onto the bridge:: FCO:  I'm concerned about him too.  ::sighs:: Well, let's return to our duties and later we can have a nice dinner, what do you think?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: CO: This crew is not ready to deal with them right now, if ever.  Do you think it is right to send us back to where we were practically slaughtered?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CEO: Can we help you with something?

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: O'Mallory: You aren't the only ship's Captain to have lost some crew.. or their ship for that matter. ::Knocks on his artificial leg:: I know that loss Captain.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::decides that she can't stand it anymore and gets up heading for the bridge:: Self: Might as well work as sit around.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
<Rien>::sees Cassie returning and hands the helm over::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::sees the CEO waiting outside the ready room::

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Watches the Captain and listens to his angry words become stronger.  A tear falls::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
XO: Dinner would be lovely. ::leans over and squeezes his arm:: Later darling.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
:::stands and heads for the chair to left of the captain chair and logs into the terminal::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: CO: This is too soon for us.  I feel I cannot trust the Meglean people right now.

TO_Ens_Hodkinson says:
*SO*: Where are you?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::sits on the Captain's chair::  CTO:  What do we have so far?  Nothing, I suppose.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
XO: A nice quiet shift so far sir.

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: O'Mallory: You won't be alone.  There is a joint task force in the system... ::holds up the PADD:: The special insight from you survivors will help us put the proper perspective on this.

CEO_Lt_On says:
CTO: The Captain wishes to speak with me.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CEO: Ah then you want to report to his quarters, since that where he is.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CEO:  The Captain is in his quarters, Lieutenant.  Maybe you should go there.

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::hears his comm: *TO*: Just hanging out in the lounge..

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::looks closer to the screen::  COM: McLir: If they come so much as a light year from this ship....so help me...::holds back a bit::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::enters the bridge still in her dress uniform and relieves Moondoggie::

CEO_Lt_On says:
XO/CTO: Are you sure, he said here at the ready room. ::he points at the RR::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: O'Mallory: I understand fully Captain.  Feel the same about the Bellicose.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CEO: Yes I am quiet sure Lieutenant. ::in unison with the XO::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CEO:  I'm sure.

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
Thinks:  I am very surprised that they have sent this ship back so soon.  This is so hard on them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
:;takes her seat as Cali leaves::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: O'Mallory: Can you and your crew do this assignment?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> ::looks at Mia closely:: OPS: You okay, ma'am...?

CEO_Lt_On says:
XO/CTO: Well then I better leave.

TO_Ens_Hodkinson says:
*SO*: You mean "the Pub" right, whatever; be there in a bit. :: gets a crewman to cover his shift::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
FCO:  How long until we leave the neutral zone?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: McLir: I send this ship with great objection Captain. ::has very serious tone::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::notices that the TO is missing::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
XO: Checking sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*TO*: Ensign, why are you not on the bridge?

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he exits the bridge wondering about Marshall reaction and he takes the TL::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@COM: O'Mallory: Noted sir.  I suggest you utilize your Counselor's service as best you can.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CNS: Sorry to ignore you. .::tries to smile::

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Takes out another aspirin and swallows::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: McLir: O'Mallory out!

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
CO:  I understand.  And you aren't.  ::Squeezes his hand::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her head:: Moondoggie: I'm fine....you're dismissed, I'll finish out the rest of this shift. ::watches Moondoggie go and sits down staring at the console almost as if she had never seen one before::

CEO_Lt_On says:
TL: Deck 2.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
XO: Just leaving the Neutral Zone now Commander.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Lets out a sigh as Ed leaves:: *SO*: Ensign, can you please come to the bridge?

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::falls backwards off his chair and stands up:: *CSO*: Aye aye.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Are sensors showing anything unusual or just the regular "void"?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CNS: I’m about to tell this crew that we are going back to its point of death.  It drives me crazy sometimes and where is Lieutenant On?

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Rubs her head again.  Blocking is so tiring::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::waits for an answer from the to::

CEO_Lt_On says:
::The turbolift stops on deck 2::

Host Capt_McLir says:
@::Shakes head; makes a notation on the PADD and forwards the data to his boss, Admiral Crenshaw::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Good.  I'm glad, don't like that place. ::smiles::

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he goes to the CO’s quarters::

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::makes his way out of the lounge and down the corridor:: *TO*: I think we should take a rain check on hanging out in the lounge..we hafta be on the bridge ASAP..

EO_Ens_Cerdan says:
::Walks over to the  Warp status display and looks it over::

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
CO:  I can see why!  I can't believe they have asked to do that.

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he arrives at CO’s quarters and he rings the bell of the door::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CNS: Sorry Counselor...I forget you can feel the emotions.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::Frowns as he still waiting for the to answer him::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CEO: Come in...

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
CEO:  It's okay.  That's hard to remember and I don't expect you to.

EO_Ens_Cerdan says:
::Wonders why were only at warp 4::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::whispers:: CNS: At least I get to deliver better news...

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Ensign Cerdan, tell me that our current status is green.  Nothing to disturb our peaceful trip.

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
TO: Oh man! I'm just on my way out...we hafta be in the bridge man!

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he enters CO’s quarters:: CO: Sorry, sir that I am late. I went to your ready room at the bridge.

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks puzzled:: CO:  What is that?

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Wants the SO to get to the bridge soon so she can do some work in her office::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:

SO_Ens_Eckhart says:
::pulls the TO into the turbolift with him and waits at it takes them to the bridge::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
XO: I heard you, it takes a second to run scans.. sir.

CEO_Lt_On says:
CO: Yes, I am reporting to you now. ::sees the CNS around::

TO_Ens_Hodkinson says:
*CTO*: Sorry sir just not in this reality right now, but all this stress, I couldn't handle it. Sure I wasn't on the Gryphon but I lost a very dear friend in the war with the Klingons and I can’t focus now.

CNS_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Nods to the CEO::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Good, Ensign.  Having troubles to accept this high speed? ::giggles::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*TO*: That is no excuse for failing to report to your duty station ensign. Consider your self on report.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  That will not be necessary. ::grins::  Keep me posted.  MacLeod out.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
XO: I have nothing sir.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:

CEO_Lt_On says:

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
