<<<Resume Mission; Relaxation, drinks and adjustments>>>

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: finishes packing up a few of Mackie's things as she thinks about what she is going to do without him now ::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Walks to her quarters, deep in thought.::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
::at the Holodeck trying to meditate:: Self: I need some real environment. This is not helping much.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: hears Nanny Grace moving around in the other room :: Nanny: Nanny, anything I can help you with?

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::walking down the hallway next to Quon's tall figure::  CNS: I was hoping Rhianna would be able to have another comm with us soon...before we got underway on a new mission...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Nanny_Grace> FCO: Oh no dear, just looking for Adam's bear. You know how that boy loves his teddy. :: reaches behind the couch :: Found it!

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::is with Tessa touring the ship with her on the eve of her new command:: ACO: Yes, but she is away on assignment now, or so I was told by HQ.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: smiles at her through the doorway :: Nanny: That boy is bear crazy.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::gets to her quarters, does the whole long, hot shower, relaxing bit. Is reading a book with soft music playing.::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::tilts her head up to look at him::  CNS: Yes, you mentioned speaking with Headquarters...and my father?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: sees Nanny disappear back into the nursery and returns to packing her husband's things ::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
Comp: Computer, end program and lock it. Door please.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: Only briefly, with both. Your father is awful busy lately with new legislation activity on Betazed, I was hardly even able to say hello before he was called away.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
::leaves the holodeck and heads to the dock::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thought about bugging the CSO but knows he needs his own time and continues to try to relax as she reads 'tactical analyses of Romulan Battle Tactics'::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::laughs softly::  CNS: Father was born busy I think...  ::sighs pleasantly::  I miss him.  And Mother.  Did you mention our engagement?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: packs his dress uniform :: Self: I wonder if he needs this?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::out in the dock:: Self: Hey pretty. I'll leave for while. Take care of them for me, ok. I intend to return and make a tour outside you. Hmm, I never did that before. ::starts heading to the arboretum::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::shakes his head:: ACO: Not yet...I actually did ask about your mother now that you mention it...

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::her attention is riveted wholly on Quon, totally missing the nods of passing crewmen as they enter a lift:: CNS:  You did?  ::asks anxiously::  Shall we go onto the Starbase while we talk?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::as walking to the arboretum:: Self: Maybe I shouldn't get so hard at Quon and Tessa. But they need to know that I am just one of the most of the crew feelings.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Falls asleep, book falling to floor, music still playing softly.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: carefully closes the bag and sets it next to the door :: *OPS*: This is Commander MacLeod. Please arrange to have Captain MacLeod's bag sent on to him at Starfleet headquarters as soon as possible. It is in his quarters… errr my quarters.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: Surely. The airlock is just another few more sections away. ::pauses as they keep walking:: I learned about her syndrome and offered my services to help find a cure.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::see people walking in and walking out of the arboretum:: Self: It is more crowded than last time I was here. ::enters::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<OPS> *FCO*: Right away Commander. I'll send someone down.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head sadly:: CNS: They've been trying to find a cure, but...  ::lowers her voice and looks around to see that no one is near::  one of my uncles, her brother had the same affliction.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::in the center of the arboretum:: Self: Nice place to be. ::takes a deep breath; sits on the grass in lotus position::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: Nevertheless, I will do whatever I can to help. I studied a great deal of medicine on Betazed, especially after the Jem'Hadar had invaded. So I know a thing or two about Betazoid neural chemistry. In time, I'm sure I'll discover something.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: walks to the living area :: Nanny: Nanny, I'm heading for the bridge for a while. Please stay here until someone comes for the Captain's bags.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  I could hope you are right.  Since I accepted a position in command my work in that area has come almost to a halt.  ::looks closer at Quon::  I wasn't aware you had studied medicine that much...  ::smiles happily::  ....you do surprise me.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Nanny_Grace> :: calls from the other room :: *FCO*: No worries Mrs. MacLeod. I'll be here.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::wakes up blinking, changes from PJ's to an outfit and heads to the holodeck, feeling refreshed.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: leaves her quarters, heading for the bridge ::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  Quon, I'm worried though...it was around this point of deterioration that her brother...  ::can't finish the sentence, but her thoughts of him are strong::  He couldn't take the pain.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::When she gets there starts a hang glider program and jumps off a cliff in a  glider....::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "WEEEEEEEE"::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: arrives on the bridge and checks in with the duty officer ::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::McCann nods at the FCO then returns to his duties.::

Host SB_OPS says:
@::WInces at the volume on his earpiece and takes copious notes::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
DO: Everything alright Ensign?

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::puts his hand gently on her arm to slow her to a stop, wanting very much to "reach" out to her, eye to eye:: ACO: Your mother will pull through. Have faith in her, and trust in yourself. For now, you need to concentrate on leading this crew until Captain MacLeod returns.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::humming::

Host SB_OPS says:
@SB Duty Officer: Ma'am, I think you'll want to check this out. ::hands her the message::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Feels the wind on her face and enjoys the view as she glides along in the sky over Britain.::

Host SB_OPS says:
@::The SB Duty Officer reads the message and raise an eyebrow::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: walks over to the command chair and brings up the day's reports ::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods appreciatively for his support::  CNS:  I know.  It's just so hard with what's happened recently.  ::a small smile returns and a glimmer in her eye just for Quon::  I'm glad we have each other.  Perhaps we can make some plans while we have time... ::takes on a bit of a mischievous grin::

Host SB_OPS says:
@<SB Duty Officer> SB OPS: This is all they sent?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::finishes humming and the mind goes clear and reaches alpha state of the mind::

Host SB_OPS says:
@SB Duty Officer: Yes ma'am.  It appears to be on a loop.  Same message over and over.

Host SB_OPS says:
@<SB Duty Officer>SB OPS: I'll take this to command. Keep trying to raise them.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: signs off on the last report and makes sure that Tessa has a copy ::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: Plans? ::returns the mischievous grin as he senses her innuendo:: Yesss, plans we shall devise. In the meantime, I was actually wondering if you'd rather go up to your ready room for now with me.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: Of course.  You had business to discuss?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Takes a break and relaxes on a grassy hill, wondering what to do next.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: walks towards the ready room as McCann seems to have things under control ::

Host SB_OPS says:
@::Sees the Duty Officer return nervous::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::McCann, runs normal scans, makes duty reports, etc.::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::coming back to his sense and opens his eyes as he see a kid next to him:: "For the expression of this kid, I am sure he is thinking I am crazy" ::so the kid sits close to him trying the same position::

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: I did. One of which involves some personnel transfers, namely petty officer Sirta Hy'Qiin. She just put in for a long-term leave of absence in order to return to Andor with her new mate.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: steps inside and immediately walks to the desk, pausing for a moment as she looks at the empty chair ::

Host SB_OPS says:
@::Receives comm from "The Admiral" stationed on SB 10 with instructions for the U.S.S. Dublin::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@Kid: Hey kid, very good. Where did you learn that?

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: That sounds fine.  I'll okay that right away.  ::thinks for a moment::  Hy'Qiin...any relation to Kizlev?

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: Please stand by for orders.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::turns off program and heads for quarters.::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
<McCann>*Harker*: New orders coming down the pike, as yet unknown.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
*McCann*: Might as well see what’s up, keep me posted.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:; hears the com through the open ready room door :: COM: SB_OPS: This is the Dublin, Commander MacLeod standing by.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::arrives at quarters and quick changes into a uniform.::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@<Kid>CSO: My father taught me. He came from a planet I don't know the name...

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@Kid: How was the planet like?

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::nods:: ACO: First cousin, apparently. I find it ironic she was stationed on this ship, given that Mr. Kizlev and I were once classmates at the Academy. In fact, I had no idea Ms. Sirta was romantically involved either, until she talked to me recently.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: walks to the desk and waits ::

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: MacLeod: Ma'am... I have orders for the Dublin to depart on a rescue mission.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Heads for the bridge.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
COM: SB_OPS: Understood operations. I will inform the Commanding Officer immediately.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: It's hard to know all the crewmembers.  And I was meaning to ask about you and Kizlev...  ::looks questioningly at Quon::

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: MacLeod: Sending you the coordinates of the S.S. Hardwell, a freighter that departed the same time you arrived.

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: MacLeod: They've sent a distress call that seems to be on a loop.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@<Kid>CSO: It was something like too much water.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: looks at the information on the screen :: COM: SB_OPS: Coordinates received. Will inform you when ready for departure.

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: MacLeod: Sending copy of the call.  It keeps saying " Help, they're everywhere. Can't take it anymore." End of message.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::arrives on bridge and dismisses McCann, talking Tac station.::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@Kid: Too much water? ::starts to think about water planets::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*ACO*: Commander, this is Cassie. We have just received new orders. I am ordering all crew to return to the ship and prepare for departure.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: About that...I might as well explain. You might've noticed the feelings I had when I saw him on the last comm we had with your daughter. Well, he and I were... ::stops as he hears Cassie call::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::taps her comm badge, continuing to keep Quon in her gaze::  *FCO*:  We're almost to the bridge. I'll be there within the minute.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
COM: SB_OPS: I have the message recorded. Dublin out.

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: Star Base 10 out.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@<Kid>CSO: He keeps saying to me that this means a lot for people there. ::picks up a small gold metal and shows to the CSO::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*All*: This is Commander MacLeod. All officers and crew are to return to the Dublin immediately to begin preparations for departure in twelve hours.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: It's time we make haste. ::heads for the nearest TL::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
*FCO*: This is Harker, Acknowledged. Out.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::starts the tactical security prep work and notices.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:; leaves the ready room  and returns to the bridge ::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::enters the turbolift and directs it to the bridge::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::notices that the metal is a medal of SF:: Kid: Ok, your father came from Earth. The same place as I came. What are you doing here?

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: I want to hear about you Kizlev tonight...don't forget, okay?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Makes plans work this shift, rest part of next so as to be ready for departure.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*Engineering*: Start bringing the warp core online. Please report your progress to me.

Host EO_Schmuck says:
@::Hears the cancellation of shore leave and shakes head:: Self: I knew it was too good to be true.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: I promise. I've been meaning to mention it ever since the comm.

Host Tim says:
<Engineering>*FCO*: Aye ma'am.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CTO: Paige, this will be a rescue mission. Please have all your security teams ready.

Host EO_Schmuck says:
@::Glups his root beer and races to the Dublin::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
FCO: I'm on it Ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Continues to prep the teams and equipment that will be needed via lists, orders etc...::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::steps out onto the bridge::  CNS: I had noticed.  Could you stay near while we see the new orders?  ::turns to Cassie::  FCO:  Thank you for recalling all the personnel.  ::takes a seat and pulls up the recording with orders, listening::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: walks to the helm and checks the Hardwell's coordinates again ::

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@<Kid>CSO: We are just traveling. But I am not from earth. Actually, I think we are going there for me to meet my grand parents. He thinks I don't know it. He thinks it is a surprise.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@Kid: Want an advice?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@<Kid>CSO: Sure.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Cassie?  Are we ready to go?  All:  Stations, report.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:; turns :: ACO: It's a distress call from the USS Hardwell, Commander. Set on a loop.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@kid: Make him think it was surprising.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::nods to Tessa as he stands behind the command pit in front of the master situation monitor::

Host EO_Schmuck says:
::Steps onto the Dublin out of breath; and quickly goes to a turbolift:: TL: Deck 7.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
ACO: The core is coming online ma'am. It will take twelve hours.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::Nods to Cassie, starts replaying it again::  Duty SO: Find all the information you have on the Hardwell.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
ACO: Crew is beginning to report in as well.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::reads a text copy of the message and orders full defensive gear, medical personnel and armor.::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks up and over at Cassie, perplexed::  FCO: Twelve hours...what can we do safely to get more speed?  This is a distress call.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@<Kid>CSO: Thanks.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::looks over at the empty science 1 console and frowns::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
ACO: With all the repairs and most of the crew still on shore leave, we can't get underway until the core is fully operational Commander.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::catches the CNS's look.::*CSO*:This is Harker, all personnel are being recalled

Host EO_Schmuck says:
::Sees everyone in Engineering hustling around to bring the core on line; meanwhile the fusion generators have been started::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::catches Quon's thoughts and looks over::  CNS:  Can you take science until Wildstar returns?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@::looks at the PADD:: Self: Oh my god, I got run. Great idea reducing the volume for meditating.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
ACO: Ma'am security will be standing by ready when we get there, all is prepped.::

Host EO_Schmuck says:
*FCO*: Fusion generators are on line.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::nods at CTO:: CTO: Thanks, Paige. ::goes over to Sci 2 and logs in, just like the old days on the Delphyne::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
ACO: Helm does have the coordinates and is ready when we get the core up.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@*CTO*: Ma’am, I noticed. I am heading to Dublin right away. ::starts running to Dublin::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*EO*: Acknowledged engineering.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::returns the CNS's nod.::*CSO*:Acknowledged. Harker out.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO: Thanks, Cassie.  Talk to engineering and see if there is anything they can do to speed up the process.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CSO*: I'll see you onboard then.  We won't be able to leave immediately, though.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns back to Tessa :: ACO: Fusion generators online. We can use the impulse engines but they aren't going to respond well.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
ACO: Navigational deflector dish is coming online, but not at full capacity yet.  All sensor palettes continue to show optimal scanning depth.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO: Harker, since this is a distress call and we don't know whom 'they' are, have some plans ready.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
@*ACO*: I am almost there, ma’am. ::running very fast::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO: That's better than nothing.  Let me know when the last crewmember is aboard.  Go ahead and obtain permission to leave.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*Flight Deck*: This is the bridge. Have all shuttles on standby. I want them ready to go at a moment's notice.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
ACO: Working on it Ma'am max defensive postures and equipment is authorized, currently briefing the medical members of the away teams.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<FD> *FCO*: Understood Commander. Shuttles will be ready.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
::just enters the Dublin and heads to the closest turbolift::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Excellent.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: Anything on the Hardwell yet?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::turns back to station and continues work.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
COM: SB_OPS: This is the U.S.S. Dublin. We have fusion generators on line and are requesting permission to depart.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: MOST OF THE CREW IS REPORTING IN; DEPARTMENTS REPORT READINESS

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
Self: Bridge.

CNS_Lt_So`Quon says:
::notes the CSO's presence on the ship through internal sensors, and smiles:: ACO: Nothing new as of yet, Captain.

Host SB_OPS says:
@COM: Dublin: You are cleared to depart.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
COM: SB_OPS: Thank you operations. Dublin out.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
Self: Why do they never explain in their distress calls...

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
::feels the engines pumping up::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: taps console buttons :: *EO*: We should be on internal power. Acknowledge.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Was there any video accompanied with the distress call?

Host SB_OPS says:
@::Sends a text message to the Dublin that reads: "The Hardwell is not known for its strict adherence to regulations.  Be careful in approaching." End of message. ::
