Host Tim says:
The senior officers of the USS Dublin have gathered in the station's briefing room.  Lt. Jakiel and LtCmdr Kizlev have been redirected from reporting to the Dublin to the briefing room.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
<<<Resume Mission; "The truth, the whole truth... maybe">>>

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::sitting back row center in the briefing room::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::walks along with Kizlev in step with him out of habit as they move towards the briefing room::  CTO:  I suppose we can get settled in after the meeting.  It must be important.  I hope I can...  ::leaves the sentence undone::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Sits next to CO ready to take notes.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Watches as the officers takes seats and shuffle a bit::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::sitting in the briefing room, eager to know where the Dublin will be sent this time::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Looks at a PADD to note a message::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::turns and looks about, seeing all the staff has arrived.::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sitting next to Gael, looking around to see who's missing.  Sees the FCO sitting in the back of row and waves to him.::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Grumbles about not having donuts.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::decides to let Rhianna keep her secrets...for now:: CNS: Strange...I have had an unusual desire to wear something...odd, lately.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
Mumbles:  Not even any mints!

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::smiles and nods to the Ensign::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
Smythe: We are all here Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Pretends not to hear the CSO's grumbles as she stifles a grin,::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: If you don't mind Captain Cerdan we'll wait for the latest additions to your crew to arrive... a Lieutenant Jakiel and Lieutenant Commander Kizlev. Then I won't have to repeat myself.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::comes into the room and quickly takes a seat beside Kizlev, seeing most of the officers already seated.  Whispers:: CTO:  Really?  What would that be?  ::smiles, wondering why he would say that and very curious::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
Self: Jakiel? Did I hear that right? CSO: Did he say Jakiel?

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: A white cloak...and silver armor... ::chuckles:: ...riding on a white steed. Ridiculous, isn't it? ::grins slyly at her::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
Smythe: Addit........::Starts to speak and stops as Lt. Jakiel arrives.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Looks up as Jakiel and Kizlev enter and select their seats.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  I heard it too.  I'm not going to ask though.  ::winks::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Glances at the new arrivals.::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::whispers:: CSO: Must be a relative.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Leans to Paige and whispers:: XO; You'd think they would tell us first.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  I'm guessing, but she'll tell us if she wants to.  Unless of course you want to ask.  ::Grins.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Well this is Starfleet. ::She murmured taking her eyes from Jakiel.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
All: I'll try to make this short.  As stated in your "official" orders the Dublin is here to support a science team that has been working on Delta Doradus... geology I think.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks at him and blinks, totally surprised by his answer, then smiles and looks around tentatively at the other officers::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gives Captain Smythe her full attention.::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::turns toward the Station's captain trying to remember where Delta Doradus is::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
All: This you will do as Delta Doradus is only 7 light years from here and just outside Romulan claimed space.

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::enters the briefing room with Rhianna, immediately putting on his blank, professional face, regarding Captain Smythe, trying not to lay eyes on the XO or others just yet::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::her whole attention perks up as the other Captain mentions geology.  Glances over at Paige and then Delgado and Daniels, but quickly looks away from them and back to the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Gives the new arrivals a glance as the Captain speaks.::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks at the CNS, and tries not to stare, but thinking there is a resemblance there, Gael could be right.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
ALL: After reporting in to the head of that team you will find a way to slip away to rendezvous with a small Ferengi civilian vessel 7.5 light years toward Lambda Crateris.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "Find a way” huh? Nice...::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::notices that the lieutenant who just entered looks a lot like the old XO, but puts the thought on the back of his mind for now::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: making mental notes on the navigational details the captain is providing::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Feels the hair stand on the back of his neck at the mention of Ferengi.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: You will be taking aboard three personnel from that Ferengi Captain; a Vulcan and two Terrans.

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::tries to refrain from shaking his head at the thought of dealing with another Ferengi so soon after leaving his former Claymore crew behind::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::stiffens as she hears about being on a Ferengi vessel, remembering how one just like that rescued her from Romulan space::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: Captain, these three can not be found in Romulan space.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Waits patiently for Smythe to finish.::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Begins to wonder if they should put in for altering the three's appearances, just in case.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::internally, murmurs to herself, 'and neither can I'...'I hope'::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: Their mission is highly classified but I can not stress enough how impolitic it would be for them to be discovered there.  From the reports I've seen it their current location was difficult enough.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::starts thinking about a way to activate the cloaking device even if no threat is spotted by sensors::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::his antennae perk up just a little, amazed they're actually assigning an illegal incursion into Romulan space to a ship like the Dublin::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Wonders just how closely she will be working with these three scientists.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
ALL: I'm aware that the senior crew are all knowledgeable in the "special" equipment you have aboard and that is why the Dublin was selected for this mission.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::swallows, terribly anxious and getting more nervous as she listens to the plans::  Self:  Special equipment...  ::senses the rest are aware and shakes her head slowly::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::wonders what the Dublin will have to do once they have the three people aboard::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Waiting for more information before attempting to ask questions. She is listening very closely.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::now his bushy white eyebrow arches up a little upon the mention of 'special equipment'...what is going on here? How much has changed since he was last a mere ensign on the Dublin?::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
ALL: Once you retrieve those passengers you're to return to Delta Doradus and provide what support is requested until released by the team leader.  The team leader is Professor A'hem and knows only the basics of your second mission.  He will release you as soon as it is logically feasible.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: You will then return here for future orders.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::frowns at the mention that the team leader knows even a bit of their other orders::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Begins to wonder what exactly they are working on, but figures she will be briefed on that soon enough.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
All: Now, I'll answer what question I can but be advised I probably know less than you do.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks up as the Captain finishes.:: Smythe: Sir , you know I have more questions?

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
Self: so this is a find and retrieve mission, better than seek and destroy::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: Of that I have no doubt. ::Laughs::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Glances at the Captain as he gets first dibs on questions.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Stands.:: Smythe: I will speak first. What is the rendezvous time and how can we confirm the identify of our passengers?

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Looks up as Cerdan stands and raises the left brow:: CO: Travel at warp 8 to Doradus should take about two and a half days, not that you are restricted to warp 8.  The Vulcan will vouch for his companions and the password is "Freedom for all".

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Raises his own brow at the Captains words.:: Smythe: Then we leave immediately Sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::begins scanning his deep purple eyes at the other Dublin senior officers, recognizing the XO almost immediately, and pays extra attention to Cerdan, already drawing comparisons to him and Captain MacLeod::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::tries to keep her breathing steady and her thoughts focused.  can hardly believe she will have to face her worst fear.  hears Captain Cerdan and shifts in her seat::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::whispers to Cerdan:: CO: Captain I have a question whenever I may please.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: You are not expected at Doradus until four days from now but the rendezvous with the Ferengi has to occur in 8 days at these coordinates. ::pushes a PADD across to Cerdan::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Her attention is focused on the Station Commander, "Vouch for his companions" I hate not having all this info, this just keeps getting better and better " she thought to herself.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: I suggest you lay over for no more than 24 hours to resupply, rest the crew and brief your new officers. ::Nods to the newly arrived officers::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Takes the PADD and looks at the display.:: Smythe: Understood Captain. ::Looks about again:: My CEO has a question I believe.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
<this changed to the in last>

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::nods to the CO:: Smythe: Captain, once we retrieve the personnel have you been informed what are we supposed to do with the "device" we have aboard?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::smiles at Captain Smythe, feeling the respite in the travel time relax her a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Hands the PADD to Cmdr. Harker.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CEO: I certainly don't want it here Lieutenant. ::chuckles:: Seriously, I presumed you'd take it with you.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Takes PADD, glances down at it.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CEO: We're just too close to the Romulans here to have that device stay here longer than necessary.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO: Any questions regarding the device will be directed to me at a later date.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
Smythe:: Oh well maybe by then someone will know what to do with it, it may even work you never know. Thank you Captain. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Cmdr. Any questions for the Captain?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::leans forward, now really wanting to know what this device is, glances at Kizlev to see if he might have any idea::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Looks up.:: Smythe: Is there anything we can know about their mission that we need to know? what info do we have on how close the Romulans are to tracking them, who is on their trail etc.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: I've arranged for a small station party while you're here to which your entire crew is invited.  Just a chance for them to unwind after crossing the empire. I know how stressful that can be.

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::finds it interesting how tight a timetable they are facing, and glances at Rhianna, trying to get an idea for what the device is, but is certain he'll know about it soon enough::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Perks up at the sound of party, and hopes there are donuts at this party!::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
To Self: Oh I have my stress relief methods.  ::blushes a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Rises an eyebrow again., starts to speak but pauses.::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
:: Looks at the XO and nods:: All: Though I've not been briefed on the mission of your passengers, having followed Romulan politics I think it best to anticipate that the Romulan government isn't happy with them and wouldn't want them back in Federal space.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Raises her hand and waits.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::a party...an old memory on Betazed of the Jakiel's parties comes to mind unexpectedly::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::isn't much thrilled with a party so soon in his second tenure for the Dublin, anxious to get underway, and not get stalled on yet another station::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
Smythe: What resources have the Romulans devoted to finding them? do we have any information?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::Hearing Captain Smythe, she knows her intimate knowledge of Romulan politics may come in very handy::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
XO: We've noted increased patrols along this side of the empire but nothing extreme.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Nods.:: Smythe: I'm understanding all relevant tactical information will be downloaded into our computers Sir?
 
Host Capt_Smythe says:
XO: Of course.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::mulling over the questions and answers...  knows that if we're caught the Dublin will be disowned::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
Smythe: I suppose there is a clause in there about Starfleet having no knowledge of our actions if we are caught?

Host Capt_Smythe says:
Cerdan: Officially no; but if you need help just yell and I'll have vessels coming to your aid because of your "equipment" problems.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Notices Ensign Daniels waiting patiently for her turn.:: Smythe: Very well.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CSO: Speak up Ensign. ::Gestures wanting to get a feel for his crew.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Notes Smythe's comment to the Captain, she'd love to know more but is sensing the CO is telling them all he can. She simply nods to show she's done.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::glances over the almost youthful exuberant countenance of the CEO, thinking he is one whose life may not yet have been touched by the travails of war...::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
Smythe:  Do we know what these scientists were working on?  Do we have knowledge of their experiments that we can be briefed on, Sir?

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::looks curiously at the two new members of the crew looking forward to have a chat with them::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CSO: Ah, right.  The work on Doradus... archeological and geological so I'm told.  Something about a previously unknown culture having been there.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
Smythe:  So this is more archeological?  No experiments, correct?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::finds herself very intrigued about this archeological project and cannot wait to speak to Daniels, missing being in science::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CSO: Normal testing of artifacts I would imagine Ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns to the Captain again.:: Smythe: I think we've taken enough of your time.  When is the small Party?

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods to Smythe.::  Smythe:  Thank you, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::lets his glance fall to the table, as his mind takes an introverted turn, and he lets himself slip slightly into deep thought::

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Nods to Daniels::: CO: Ah the party... starts at 1900... ::looks at current time:: 2 hours on deck 14, room C-147... can't miss it I'm sure. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
Smythe: Very well, Sir.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
ALL: Any thing else? I'll answer what I can.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::shakes his head::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::waits to be dismissed::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Can't wait to get to the party, but waits to be dismissed.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
Smythe: Thank you sir. I'll think on it. I'm sure I'll have more questions before we depart.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
CO: I'll do what ever I can to help you on this.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Cut them loose.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::moves her hand under the table to lay it gently on Kizlev's leg, needing his comfort and wondering 'where' he has just gone.  Waits for the dismissal::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
Smythe: We'll speak again at 1900

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
Senior Staff: Dismissed.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
Cerdan: Of course Captain... see you then.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Stands::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Reaches out a hand to Smythe::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Stands up and waits for Gael.::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::moves toward the XO:: XO: Ma'am would you mind if I stayed on the ship? I don't trust anyone close to the "device", so to speak. Especially so close to Romulan space.

Host Capt_Smythe says:
::Shakes Cerdan's hand firmly and looks directly into his eyes::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks up again, and smiles over to Rhianna, placing his hand over hers, thinking that it may be time to speak to her about something he had been debating on mentioning to her for quite some time::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::stands and scoots out making a bee-line to head back to the Dublin::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CEO: I understand. Go ahead I'll tell the Captain if he wants you back be prepared to hot foot it.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
XO: Thank you Ma'am. ::nods and turns around toward Tayla::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Nods to CEO::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Talks in a quiet tone.:: CEO:  No party?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns to leave.::  XO: Remind them all to report for the party. Also check with station OPS on how long 'til were resupplied.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
CSO: Tayla I am not coming to the party, but you could keep company to our favorite middy, cadet Ferrone.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sighs.::  CEO:  Come on, Gael.  No one's going to steal your weapon.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Sir the CEO's has asked for permission to continue monitoring the device. Will you want him back for the party?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::rises and stands, not sure who to talk to first::  CTO: Shall we maybe report to the Captain.  ::looks over to watch Commander Harker while she talks, thinking::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Yes, I think they will all attend the party if you get my meaning.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
CSO: Yes I know, but I am getting kinda paranoid, must be Gina's absence.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
CO: One moment.

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::stands with Rhianna:: CNS: We will have that opportunity at the party later. ::looks to the XO, and nods in her direction:: You wish to converse with her, correct?

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  Well I'll miss you .. if you must.  ::Frowns.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Goes over to CEO before he can leave.:: CEO: Sorry orders are to report to the party, go back and check on it but you'll need to be here, ::Shrugs apologetically.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
::Returns to the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::turns walking up the corridor slowly .::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks back at Kizlev nervously::  CTO:  I...yes...no...yes.  I mean I should.  It will be awkward.  I was hoping to speak to her privately.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: To think that someone should have ordered me to be at a party, maybe going is the best thing to do. I will bring my fiddle.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles at the CEO.::  CEO:  Looks like you get to party after all.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
CSO: Apparently powers higher than mine want me there. ::smirks::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: arrives at the docking port for the Dublin and waits to clear the security checkpoint::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  Come on.  She'll be fine.  ::Tries to reassure him.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: My deshi, there is a time to be meek, and there is a time to be bold. Go forth and follow your desires. Talk with her. I will speak with the captain for both of us.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  You know, I think Cadet Ferrone missed the news that he is required ot be at the party.  He sure bugged out of here quickly.

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
::taps his comm badge:: *FCO*: Mister Ferrone, I am afraid we are all having to participate to the party.

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Laughing::  CEO:  And I am sure he will thank you later.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
*CEO* Aye, chief.  Understood, sir.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
@ ::clears security and enters the Dublin... heading to the privacy of his quarters ::

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
CSO: See he calls me sir. You should do it more often. ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
@::Steps aboard the Dublin with more questions than answers which seems to be the Norm.::

CSO_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  I thought the sailor hat was all you wanted, dear.  You want me to call you, Sir too?  ::Shakes her head.::  You are strange.

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
@::Walks with the CO.::

XO_Cmdr_Harker says:
@CO: They never seem to answer anything important do they sir?

CEO_Lt_Delgado says:
CSO: I would settle for my lord, but i know it is hopeless.

CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods to her and gently says:: CNS: Go. ::smiles as he watches her leave::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Not the hard questions anyway. ::Smiles::
