Host Tim says:
Half way through the Alpha shift the Dublin dropped from warp and passed the outer marker for Star Base 24.  The Dublin has received specific instructions for where it is to maintain position in relation to the station and is now maneuvering there.

Host Tim says:
As the Dublin moves to its assigned position the crew notes that the station started intense scans of their vessel.  The Kukris returned to its patrol once the Dublin reported in to Star Base 24

@::Frowns but doesn't speak as he falls in behind the Cmdr.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
*CMO*:  I did, Lieutenant.  I haven't had a chance to review them just yet.  We're docking now.  As soon as we dock, I'll make sure the station gets your request.

Host SB24_DutyOfficer says:
@::Knocks on the door and upon hearing the word "Enter" steps back to let the Captain pass::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::passes notes back and forth to the CEO about a 'transporter inhibitor program', a strong one.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@Turns his head and gives the Cmdr. a smile before stepping in.::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
*OPS*: Thank you Tayla. I just wanted to be sure you get that filled as soon as you can.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "Just never know when you might need it, She was concerned but not truly worried but believed in being prepared.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Notices the Captain is still on her sensors.::  *CMO*:  Your department will have priority, Ma'am.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Text back to CTO "Was already working on that, and recommend we NOT go to station power and life support for the moment" ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Where did those messages say we were reported to have been seen?

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@::Stands and comes from behind his desk with hand extended:: CO: Glad to see you Tray.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::text to CEO. "talk to XO, her call"::

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
*OPS*: For once that would be nice. Danara out.

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
XO: docking now ma'am. ::puts the ship at full stop and drifts the last few meters::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@Grins widely:: ADM: Glad to be back, How are you?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Sir, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to keep the ship on our own life support and power for now, I've got some tests I'd like to run... and it might take a while...

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Excellent.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: Much better now that you brought the Dublin back.  Quite a trip eh?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
FCO: Engage all moorings. Transfer to station power if you will, please.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@::Walks over to the sideboard:: Tray: Drink?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Starts working on a program to generate a transport inhibitor field that will enclose the whole ship::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: You wouldn't believe it. Sure anything will be fine. ::Pulls a chair out to sit.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::hears the CEO:: FCO: Actually, belay transfer of power... ::looks to Tessa again::

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
::engages all moorings wondering why the CNS is giving orders, but obeys nonetheless::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Reports indicate we were seen around the Fehleena area, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*: They are already suspicious of us, if we don't dock then it will only make it worse.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
*XO*: I'm not saying we can't dock Sir, just not transferring to station power and life support.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: Yes please sit.  ::pours some whisky for both of them; takes glasses back to desk and hands one to Trey.::

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
OPS: You can receive power from the station now.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  No, it's alright.  I don't think an entire Federation station will harm us.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the FCO.::  FCO:  Thank you, Gael.  ::Presses the appropriate buttons to receive power from the station.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: Yes, you are right. They could have easily done so already if they truly wished.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@::Takes the glass and sits.:: ADM: Tell me, why all the scans? Our identity should have been confirmed.

CMO_LtJG_Danara says:
:: returns her screen and reviews the list again ::

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: ::slips some of the Irish whiskey:: I know you're very... perturbed about the way you've been treated and believe I've cut the demands on me to a minimum.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  I see. Probably just before we disappeared through the rift.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Aye.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: After getting your reports Star Fleet didn't want to take any chances hence the scans and the escort.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Makes sure station life support is directed through onboard scrubbers and filters before being sent out to the ship::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@::Takes a drink and smiles.:: ADM: I see they noticed  our alert status. Hope you didn't take it personally?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Just an FYI, I still have the Captain on sensor lock.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: Some science nerd at Headquarters postulated that you all might have been cloned and ran that up the flag pole.  For some reason a bunch of those desk bound clowns saluted; and no I didn't take it personally.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Good.  Keep monitoring.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Text to CTO "Life support being scrubbed internally, inhibitor program ready to execute along with obscuration, and emergency explosive disconnects primed on docking clamps if needed on order" ::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: Good, They just caught me in a foul mood. ::Take another drink.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::text message to CEO, :"I like how you think, well done, even if we don't need it now there's nothing to say we may not need in the future.::

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: Tray, what I have in mind is letting my science officers do their scans and analysis and then grant shore leave to your crew.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Text to CTO "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail... ready when you are." ::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: Can you sense the Captain's feelings, Tessa?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Doesn't like the feeling of not knowing what's happening with the Captain, but at lease she still has him on sensors, which makes her feel better.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: I assumed Star Fleet would want something more than our sensor logs, but can we make it quick? They need a break.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@::hoists his drink toward Tray:: Tray: To comrades missing and pass. :: sips drink::

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
Self: Nothing like the job of a FCO when the ship is docked. XO: Permission to go to the shuttlebay and check the status of our shuttles ma'am.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@::ADM: To comrades. ::Drinks in tribute.::

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: ::looks at chronometer on desk:: Plan in your crew being free by 1500.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  I didn't think about that.  ::focuses on the Captain's aura for a moment::  He seems relaxed enough.  Maybe it's better news than that paranoia was telling us.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: 1500 will be fine. How long 'til new orders?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: Curious...I wonder if the Admiral is a friend of his.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: Tray, I really don't know.  As I recall the Dublin was granted 4 days layover time here... you want that?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: I wouldn't know.  It would be nice to get to know him better.  He's a bit of a quiet, mysterious man.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: I'll let you know in a couple days. ::Grins:: I may be bored by then.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@::Stands and finishes his drink.::

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: I'd like to host a dinner for you and your senior officers while you're here.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@:: Stands and finishes his drink as well::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: I'm sure they would love that, as soon as I let them off the hook about the Star Bases intentions. ::Laughs aloud::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: Seems they took the yellow alert pretty serious.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Starts going over supply requisitions from the various departments.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::can say nothing other than nod in agreement, still gazing at the screen::

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@::Chuckles:: Tray: I understand Tray.  We'll straighten this out.

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
::taps his fingers on the console waiting and wonders if it pouting is martial enough::

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@Tray: I'll give you the word no later than 1505.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Continues monitoring her systems, ready to implement optional plans if needed, and ready to take on supplies and begin refits if things go well::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  I do wish he would check in.  ::sighs and tries to relax::  I do hope we can have our shore leave...we all need it!

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
@ADM: Very well. Good to see you again . ::Extends a hand.::

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
OPS: As they say, all is well what it ends well.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  It's not well until I know the Captain is safe.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@::Shakes Tray's hand and escorts him to the door:: Tray: 'Til later Tray.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::itches the back of her neck where those scales have appeared::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::glances at Tessa's tummy:: XO: We most certainly do. ::smiles up at her::

FCO_LTJG_Delgado says:
OPS: Something tells me he is...call it Irish instinct.

Host Adm_Symthe says:
@::Turns around and goes back to his desk piled with PADD's::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::chuckles::  CNS:  Yes...we 'all' do.

Host Tim says:
