FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sits quietly at the far end of the table, waiting for the meeting to begin::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: walks into the briefing room and takes a seat ::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Comes in holding a PADD and sits down hurriedly, across from Mia.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::places a PADD onto the table and keeps holding a bag::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Gives Mia a quick supportive grin before returning to the report on her PADD.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::walks in and takes a seat beside Mauro, very quietly::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins back weakly at the CTO and then looks absentmindedly out the window::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at the XO and does a typical movement with his head::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Tries to give her friend the space she needs, she just hopes Mia knows how many friends she has.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks over at Mia and mouths, "glad to see you" and smiles::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::stands and clears her throat::  All:  Everyone, attention please!  ::retakes her seat and looks back towards the captain::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Puts the PADD down and looks attentively toward the Captain.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::smiles at his crew and stands::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::is looking distractedly out the window...her mind on other matters and doesn't notice Cassie.  Turns and faces front when the XO and CO speak::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: comes to attention and looks towards the CO and XO::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::nudges Mackie's leg under the table::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Those who I call please stand up at attention.  ::begins pacing around the table::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::watches Mia closely, worried about her physical and emotional state::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Tries to keep the Captain in sight as he moves around the room.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Commander Adams-MacLeod...  Commander Jakiel-O'Mallory...  Lieutenant Harker...  Ensign Clooney.  ::opens the bag::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Puzzled Harker stands up at attention.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::stands up slowly looking puzzled::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::stands, her eyes on her husband::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::stands and looks at the Captain quizzically::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "can't be a reprimand or another promotion.." She puzzles in her head.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::as he walks, he picks up a small dark blue velvet box from the bag and places it in front of each of those officers::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO/CTO/OPS:  Please open the boxes.  ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::eyes the box warily and then hesitantly opens it slowly::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::has never seen this before, but remembers when Sean handed her a red one....  Picks up the box slowly and opens it::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::With growing trepidation she slowly reaches for the box and just as carefully opens it.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::reaches down and lifts up the box and opens it::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO/CTO/OPS:  For outstanding service on rescuing a Starfleet Officer and repelling
the Jem'Hadar forces from Argon, returning the planet to its people...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO/CTO/OPS:  I hereby award you with the Starfleet Command Commendation for Gallantry.  ::smiles widen::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO/CTO/OPS:  Congratulations!

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::eyes go wide as she stares at the medal and then up at the CO and then back at the medal::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Is trying desperately not to look at the Captain as though he'd lost his mind. Instead settling for a comically stunned look.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::bites her lip hard to stop the tears and pretends to be interested in the medal as she remembers rescuing Sean...that time::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Meets the surprised gazes of the other awardees.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks up at her husband and smiles:: CO: Thank you Captain.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Thank you Sir. ::She says quietly.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks up at the CTO and shrugs slightly before stammering out her thanks to the CO:: CO: Ummm...yeah...thank you Captain...::the last said almost in a question::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO/FCO/CTO/OPS:  You all earned it.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Still stunned she thinks to self, "There's got to be some mistake but I'm not arguing with a Captain.."::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Looks at Mia and gives a quick nod at the questioning tone in her voice.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Very well.  Now we must head to the administration building at once.  I believe Bishop Kent will meet with us soon.  ::looks at Tessa and notices something is wrong::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
OPS: Congrats Mia.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::gives a weak grin:: CTO: You too.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, Bishop Kent, I trust him about as far as I can throw his home world.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::clicks the box shut, struggling with her emotions.  Tries hard to concentrate on the captain's words and only those::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::decides to forgo the usual round of congratulations this time::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::at mention of the Bishop, distrust floods Harker’s emotions but is pushed away.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::carefully closes the box and puts it in her jacket pocket. ::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
Himself: Bishop?  I never trust a planet led by the religious sect, look what it did for Bajor

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Closes the box and places in her pocket.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Oh, by the way... wait a second.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Looks from Mia to the Captain.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::waits::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  I'd like to listen to you, your personal opinion regarding the Urlath.  Please take a seat.  ::finds his seat and then, sits::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Sits back down.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::moves around to the Captain:: CO: Mackie, mind if I skip this meeting? I'd like to check on the children again. Nanny mentioned that Adam wasn't feeling well.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
::turns his attention back to the captain::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sits down again and looks down at the table::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at his wife and raises an eyebrow::  FCO:  Listen what I am going to do.  You go first, then you are dismissed.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sits down hoping that she can skip seeing Bishop Kent this time::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
ALL: I know many of you have conflicting opinions regarding the Urlath.  Let's hear them.  ::looks at Cassie::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::stands again:: All: Well to be honest, I was not impressed with the Urlath. They seem backward and very suspicious of us, which may be understandable, but since they are looking to us to be friends, they have not shown that side to me, anyway.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods::  FCO:  Good point.  I have also noticed that.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks around::  ALL:  Anyone else?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::waits to see if anyone else will stand up.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::studying the grain pattern in the table very closely::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::glances at the FCO and motions to her, she's dismissed::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Stands slowly.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::and smiles of course::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::slips out of the room and heads for her quarters without a word::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sees Paige standing up::  CTO:  Lieutenant Harker... go on.  State your opinion.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
All: they are a backward people and not in the technology sense, though that is true as well.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::listens closely to the opinions of the rest of the crew, wondering at their take of the Urlathians::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
All: The Ruling Elite, their Techocrancy controls the planet by being the only ones who know how to use the technology they do have. They don't even have a proper Library. They are distrustful and I think the Ruling Class may feel we are some type of threat to their power.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: listens, but plans what to do to Rever while he does ::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens carefully::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
All: I know one thing you can't have it both ways you can't hate technology yet have a small group that knows about it, this creates a power monopoly. We've observed the tactics the Bishop uses, I Just feel we should be careful around them but I don't know if they should be left alone. Could be dangerous for the populace.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
All: That’s it.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Sits down.::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Tries to look as confident as the senior staff.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::walks into her quarters and straight to the nursery:: Nanny: Nanny how is Adam?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  I see.  So, you agree that, joining the Federation, the Urlath people would be assisted?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: If its done right sir, I think with enough contact with the outside world, things may improve but we must use caution, especially with the technocracy element, I don't feel entirely welcome us. Sir.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::is disappointed with the direction the opinions are taking and stands, nodding at Mauro::  CO:  If I may?

Host Tim says:
<Nanny>FCO: I'm worried about these wee green spots.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Very well, Lieutenant.  ::nods and looks at the XO::  XO:  Of course, Commander.  You have the floor.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
All:  I know some of you had a disappointing stay with your temporary families, but I have heard quite a few good reports from both Urlathians and other crew members.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
All:  Betazed is a very technology minimizing society also, but they have joined with great success.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
All:  My people have also been accused of being rude and intolerant, but honesty sometimes is difficult to take.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Nanny: What green spots? :;goes to look at her son::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
All:  I also believe the terrible atrocity that our OPS had to endure is just as revolting to the Urlathians and they will deal with him harshly.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "all I said was that I felt the leadership should be watched, its not like I said never let them in.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks up at the XO but doubts Rever will get a just punishment and looks out the window distractedly again, not really hearing the conversation anymore::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens to the XO carefully, knows Betazed history::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: NANNY GRACE HOLDS ADAM UP SO CASSIE CAN SEE THE SPOTS ON CHILD'S BACK

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO: I am of the opinion that talks should proceed with allowing entrance into the Federation.  The Urlathians need the protection, too.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Raises hand slightly, indicating she'd like to speak with the XO is done.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::remembers a time during the invasion that Betazed could have been overrun if it were not for the Federation's help as she takes her seat::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks closely at the spots:: Nanny: What do you think it can be? I've never seen anything like that before.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Very good point, Commander.  ::glances at the CTO::  CTO:  Aye, speak. ::listens::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Nanny: Does he have a fever? ::feels his forehead::

Host Nanny_Grace says:
FCO: Well now... If I had to guess I'd say the wee one doesn’t like the native food.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
All: Pardon me if I sounded a bit harsh, ma’am:: She indicates the XO.:: Perhaps I used the wrong terms, I'm not saying that they wouldn't benefit from Federation membership, I feel they would. I simply feel the current leadership bears watching.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
All: Not everyone is as kind as the Betazoid.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::shuts up.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Nanny: What did you give him? ::looks genuinely concerned now::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: I value your honesty, Lieutenant.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::returns the nod.:: XO: Thank you ma’am and I respect your opinion as well.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens and glances over at CEO and OPS::  CEO:  Your turn, Ensign.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::remembers the CEO's report but wants to listen, anyway::

Host Nanny_Grace says:
FCO: The big burly fellow from the village sent some drink over for Miss Harker... and the crew so I thought the wee ones would like some fresh fruit juice.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::already knows of Pirak's report, but hopes he will have listened to her::

Host Nanny_Grace says:
::Holds up the bottle of fresh juice::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: Stands :: CO: I have to disagree with the commander.  XO: Please take no offense commander :: grins slimy Cardassian grin::  CO : These people are not what they seem captain.

Host Nanny_Grace says:
FCO: You know.. the smithy.. Big Mike? Something like that.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Nanny: What kind of juice? ::takes the bottle and sniffs it::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::was already expecting something like that, by his report::  CEO:  Proceed.

Host Nanny_Grace says:
FCO: Now calm down deary.. I drank some myself... it does have a tang but it's fine.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Nanny: Big Mike? You mean that man that's taken a fancy to Paige?

Host Nanny_Grace says:
::Takes the bottle back and puts it on the table:: FCO: Yes that's him.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::nods to Pirak graciously, but completely disagrees with him...she is Betazoid after all and has 'seen' them::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
::bows slightly:: CO: These people are divided on becoming members of the Federation.  I am not certain that the mishaps in engineering were not caused by the faction that does not wish to join <c>

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Nanny: Honestly Nanny Grace, you should check with me before you give the children something new. Adams may have had a reaction to the juice.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Remembers there were nice people planet side, her host family for the most part was nice, though Saul’s actions after the Bishops men took him away worried her. And of course there was Iron Mike.::

Host Nanny_Grace says:
::Throws her hands to her mouth and runs from the room crying::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
CO: I do not wish to offend anyone here but it has been my experience that whenever the religious sect is also the ruling sect.  Things are never what they seem

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::again ponders about the CEO's ideas::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::watches Nanny leave and follows her with Adam in her arms:: Nanny: Nanny, please come back here. I didn't mean to upset you.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::finds the OPS, very very quiet, and understands the reason... but unfortunately, she too has to speak::  CEO:  Thank you, Ensign.  ::glances back at the OPS::  OPS:  Mia?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
::takes his seat. ::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::is looking sightlessly out the window deep in thought and doesn't hear the Captain::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Looks at Mia, gently touching her arm.::

Host Nanny_Grace says:
::Enters her room still crying; locks the hatch and throws herself on her bed::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
Ops: Mia? Your turn.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::frowns and sighs, tries again, this time a little bit louder::  OPS:  Ensign Clooney?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::jumps and looks at the CTO and then at the others a little disoriented:: CO: Oh...ummm....I really don't have any opinion, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::knocks on the door:: Nanny: Now Nanny, please open the door. I need to speak to you.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: looks at OPS and sees the distance in her thoughts, Rever's fate was sealed if Kell had his way ::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::lays a hand on Mauro's arm and shakes her head slightly, whispering::  CO:  Give her some time...I'll talk to her later.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks up at Tessa and back to Mia::  ALL:  Very well.  I've heard your opinions and will get to a decision.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DUTY OPS ANNOUNCES THAT BISHOP KENT IS WAITING JUST OUTSIDE THE SHIP

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::gives ops a supportive look and a tap on the arm, before turning her attention back to the captain, keeping Mia in the corner of her eye.::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "oh that’s all we need."::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens to the Duty OPS::  *Duty OPS*:  Send him in.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Dismissed.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Head held high looks around the area::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO: Sir, would you like me to remain?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Stands up quickly.:: Ops: Mia I'm heading to ten forward want to come?

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Responds to someone calling him and enters the ship::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  There is no need, Commander.  Make sure we're ready for departure.  Thank you.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::stands and waits until the others file  out.  Shakes her head to the CTO:: CTO: No....I need to ask the Captain something.  I'll see you later.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<security officer>Kent: Sir if you'd follow me, I'll escort you to the captain.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
Ops: You sure, I could wait? ::looks concerned.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Yes sir.     ::leaves and walks onto the bridge, taking the center seat::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: rises from his chair and watches the Bishop enter, trying to catch as much of the conversation as possible as he leaves::

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Follows escort to turbolift then the briefing room::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::Smiles at her and shoos her out the door before she walks up to the CO:: CO: Excuse me sir.  Permission to find out what happened to Rever from the Bishop?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<security officer>::leads bishop to the captains location.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::shrugs and carries Adam back to his room:: Adam: Nanny is just having a little "off" day dear. She'll be fine soon. Now let's see if the doctor can come and check you out. ::smiles at her son and tucks him into bed::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::walks to the window and looks outside, but hears Mia's voice, turns to her::  OPS:  Mia....  ::looks harder at her::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Lets herself be shoo'ed out of the door but takes up a guard position just outside the door.::

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Looks around as they approach the briefing room hatch::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sighs::  OPS:  Permission granted.  Be fast... and don't do anything stupid, understood?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::nods to the guard dismissing him.:: Kent: Welcome aboard Sir.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
All on the bridge:  Reports, please on flight readiness...

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Aye sir...thank you sir.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Looks CTO up and down:: CTO: Miss Harker I believe.... thank you.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
Kent: If you'll follow me please. ::Leads way into briefing room, stopping to active the door chime first.::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: walks past the Bishop and CTO.  Enters the turbolift headed for engineering ::

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Follows the CTO::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods and watches her as she leaves... shakes head and wonders how much she had suffered in Rever's hands::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
Kent: Welcome Sir. ::keeps voice polite and level.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::taps her combadge::*CMO*: This is Commander Adams-MacLeod. Could you drop by my quarters and check on Adam? He seems to have developed an aversion to something he drank.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Waits for the Captain to invite them in.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns and watches for the last time the beautiful planet view... the hills, the blue sky, some clouds... birds::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::opens her hand and looks again at the little blue velvet box, and then at her wedding ring as she listens to the flight officer::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO/Kent:  Come.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::stands quietly waiting for the Bishop to enter::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>XO: Flight reports ready Commander.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Flashes a grin at Harker and enters the room::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Leads way into room.:: CO: Bishop Kent Sir.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
CTO: Thanks you Miss.
CO: We had an appointment.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
Rien:  We are adequately prepared to return to the Starbase?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Ignores the grin, professionalism keeping her face polite.::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Shall I remain Sir?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Thank you, Lieutenant, that's all.  ::extends hand to Kent::  Kent:  Aye, we do have it.  Please, take a seat.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
CO: I understand you are ready to depart? ::sits::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Yes Sir. ::Leaves.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::steps up and looks up at the Bishop as he sits:: Bishop: Excuse me, sir.  Might I inquire as to what punishment Rever will get for his actions? ::said a little tightly::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  As soon as we end this conversation, Bishop.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>XO: We have enough power from what engineering has reported ma'am, but you might want to check with Ensign Kell on that again.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Calls two guards to the briefing room door.:: Guards: I want this room monitored, anything happens in like Flynn, when they leave pretend you were on routine patrol or something.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::paces a bit::  Kent:  I have listened to my crew and their divergent opinions regarding your people.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::The guards nod and Harker leaves, giving a last look toward the door.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::doesn't like the sound of that and taps her combadge:: *CEO*:  Ensign Kell, I need to speak to you as soon as you have time.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  I must say, not everyone is favorable to see Urlath joining the Federation.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
::enters ME and goes over to the display console :: *XO*: Commander I always have a moment for you, how may I be of service?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sings a soft lullaby to Adams as she waits for someone from sickbay to show up::

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::steeples his fingers in front of his face and then looks at Clooney:: OPS: I can see you are bothered. CO: I see; and your OPS' experience is a negative correct?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  You could say so.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Heads for her office knowing she'll pace in front of the door if she doesn't do something.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
CO/OPS: Rever will not be bothering anyone again.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CEO*:  I need a full report on the spaceworthiness of the Dublin.  There have been numerous reports of problems, not to mention the one you have suffered.  I also took note of your concerns of sabotage.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at the OPS and observes her reaction to the 'news'::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks up hopefully at the Bishop:: Bishop: Bishop: How so sir?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
*XO*: I will have the report ready within the hour commander, will that be satisfactory?

Host Bishop_Kent says:
OPS: We do not take such personal assaults lightly.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CEO*:  Yes, that will be very satisfactory.  We do not want problems between here and our destination.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  What was his punishment, Bishop?

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Looks at Captain:: CO: Rudeness is not tolerated here Captain.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
::Flexes his bad hand:: *XO*: No we do not need any surprised during flight.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
CO: He was... terminated.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Arrives in office and begins to coordinate preparations to leave for the security department.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::lets out her breath she was holding in a audible sigh:: Bishop: ::quietly:: Thank you, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::as Adam falls asleep, she goes to check on Summer and Seth::

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Looks back and forth from OPS to Captain::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Permission to return to duty, sir?

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::stands:: CO: I will wait for your official report.  The tension aboard your vessel is overwhelming.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  Don't you want to know my decision?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Dismissed.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::senses Mia's relieved state...but then feels that she still has pent up anger and wonders what the Bishop has said::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::nods tiredly to both and limps out to the bridge::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  Very well.  I have decided to support your request to join the Federation.  Even though many do not agree, I see potential.  And I believe that you can achieve this potential with our assistance.  Therefore, I will forward your request to the Federation Council with my final report.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Soon as Mia leaves, one of the guards reports in. Harker dismisses the one.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::stands and walks over to Mia:: OPS:  Mia, I'll stop by later, alright?  You'll get some rest now?

Host Bishop_Kent says:
::Nods slightly:: CO: Thank you Captain.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
CO: You have the final decision?  You can make it?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kent:  No, the Council will decide.  I am just forwarding my opinion.  ::nods back::  Kent:  Do not thank me, sir.  You will have much to discuss with the Council.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins tiredly at her and goes and sits down at her station:: XO: I have a lot of work to do before we take off.  I'll be okay, Doc...er...I mean ma'am.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
CO: Please extend our appreciation to your crew.  I know my people have learned much from you.

Host Bishop_Kent says:
