Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The force of the energy blasts slams through the outer boroughs of the city like a cannonball through tissue paper. Buildings, which took decades to construct, are reduced to cinders in moments. Screams of the terrified populace are the sole thing that drowns out the explosions ... yet they are unable to fight back.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Scores of injured, dying and dead try to make their way out of the city ... only to find the countryside a radioactive crater. It is the end of their existence ... the end of their planet's life.

Host AGM_Selan says:
NARRATIVE: Twenty years ago.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: We focus in on a sole man who has taken to the sewers ... he is the last survivor of those responsible for all of this. They had went out to explore, to search out a meaning to their meaningless existence ... instead they only found evil. Actual evil given life. And it had followed them home.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Evil did not want his world ... his home. It did not want the riches that his people had to offer. It merely wanted to purge the world from the universe because of the "crimes" of this man and his friends. Their naivety had caused them to make a mistake ... the crime in question.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Even underground, he can hear the screams of men, women and children. Entire families being wiped out ... if he believed in one of the world's five gods, he would call out to them for forgiveness ... for a savior. Either way, he knew no one would help them. No one could. The ceiling in the sewers shake, and the piping rattles ...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... He wonders if it will collapse on him, and take his life as those energy blasts are so easily taking the lives of others.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Eventually, he can travel no further, and he finds a corner in the dark, dank tunnel and sinks into it, sobbing. So lost is he in his own shame, he does not notice the ending of the assault hours later. When he finally lifts his head, he cannot hear the screams ... only silence, horrible silence. "I - I am saved ..." he mumbles to himself.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: It is at that point he hears a voice. It is slimy & demonic, and he knows it all too well ... "No, dear Iz'E'boil. You are not. Our sensors detected a life sign down here ... the last person alive in the city ... our troops have already purged the others hiding in other tunnels. I find it ironic that you are the last one here ..."

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Iz'E'boil's heart freezes in his leg with terror, "W-why? Why do you do this ...?" He can barely see the somewhat large, slug-like creature in the shadows; "There is a price for everything. Including travels to the stars ... your race just paid its price. And now you shall as well."

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: He barely registers it, a metallic creature moving out from the shadows at him at a speed which some would consider impossible. A bright red light flares in the tunnel, accompanied with a sound of burning metal, and before he knows it, he has been pressed against the ground ...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... he can feel his ribs crushing, and can barely see the glowing claws of this monster out of the corner of his eye. Death has come to him ... it's eyes beady and red. Tears stream down his cheeks as he hopes that some people of his race have survived, so that the Evil can be proved wrong ... and then the creature brings down it's claws...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... the claws shape-shift into a bo-staff which barely misses the head and shoulder of Lieutenant Peter Pazoski, slamming a blue mat. We have shifted our view to the holodeck on the Elara, and Pazoski and Maor are engaged in a bo staff battle, Pazoski obviously now able to use his legs again.

Host AGM_Selan says:

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Once they are all in a straight line before him and Harison:: ALL: I know you have gone through much in the past months ... and I hope your past few weeks of shore leave have helped you ... "loosen" up a bit.

CSO_Gomes says:
Self: Some shore leave ...

CMO_Zaris says:
::smiles at all the different feelings in the room.. none of them upset or worried or in fear.. nice relief from the last few months::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Looks each of them in the eyes:: ALL: It is time to put the events of the past behind us, and look to the future. Which hopefully will come without consequence, and with us all being together alive and well. Thus, to get to the point ... ::Turns back to Harison::

::Nervously looks away::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::chuckles in her mind::

CSO_Gomes says:
::is wondering where the admiral is getting with all of this::

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks down the line at the crew, hasn't seen most of them since they blew up the Gestalt corporation building::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::turns her attention back to the admiral realizing just how much she has to catch up on::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Staring at Harison:: ALL: Captain T'sela has chosen to return to his previous position as Commanding Officer of Starbase 881. He has expressed his "starting to hurt" that he did not get the chance to get to know all of you personally, and that you had problems between yourselves. That leaves the Elara without a Commanding Officer.

CSO_Gomes says:
::smiles but tries to hide it::

EO_Farewell says:
::listens to the Admiral as he continues his sort of speech::

OPS_Seppela says:
::subtle Admiral::

CO: David Harison, Starfleet Command wishes to express it's apologies for mistakenly blaming you for the destruction of Starbase Six-Six-Six and the surrounding charges.

TO_Pazoski says:
::stands knowing where this is going, represses a smile::

XO_Wall says:
::speculates that Admiral Poli will make him Captain of the Elara again::

FCO_Ross_Harison says:
::I should hope so::

Host CO_David says:
::nods to Poli, as if he expected something different::

EO_Farewell says:
::continues to observe the Admiral and Captain::

MO_Stricker says:
::Listening to the speech and going over the medical resupply::

CSO_Gomes says:
::continues to listen, thinking that finally things will return to normal .. whatever that is::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
CO: As such, they have dropped all charges, and as of stardate 10109.09, you have been reinstated with the rank of Captain.

CNS_Nayiza says:
::nods her head slightly towards the Captain::

CTO_Timrok says:
::takes a deep breath::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
CO: Although, it is my duty to inform you that for breaking into the Federation Enterprises' offices, you may face future repercussions in regard to the resulting illegal operations. Do you acknowledge this?

CIV_Maor says:
::Glances at the CO, he's happy this every thing is back to normal.. for them::

CSO_Gomes says:
::thinks it shouldn't have top take this much time to put right something that was very wrong:: Self: I only hope Starfleet can learn from their mistakes

Host CO_David says:
::figures:: Admiral: I do, and am willing to face any punishment deemed necessary.

CMO_Zaris says:
::glances over at the returned CO and sighs.. always something::

XO_Wall says:
::looks at Captain Harison, he didn’t know that::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Takes a breath:: CO: Great, now that that's done ... would you like to take these pips, and take back your damned ship? ::Grins::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::watches the CO trying not to grin too much::

CTO_Timrok says:
::mind has wandered elsewhere::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Takes out a small wooden box, and opens it ... inside are four golden pips and a shining comm. badge::

CSO_Gomes says:
Self: Who is he calling damned?

CMO_Zaris says:
::blinks at the Admiral’s words::

OPS_Seppela says:
::grins a little bit::

XO_Wall says:
::smirks at the Admiral comment::

MO_Stricker says:
::Drops jaw quickly::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Hands the box over to Captain Harison::

CTO_Timrok says:
::pops back into the Elara in time to see the CO accepting his pips::

Host CO_David says:
::smiles and turns to the Admiral:: Admiral: So long as my "damned" ship doesn't have any booby traps on it sir.

EO_Farewell says:
Self: Why is this Admiral's problem...?? ::expected something else from Admiral's::

Host CO_David says:
::stops the Admiral:: Admiral: One moment, I want to enjoy civilian life for a moment more.......::pauses for a few seconds:: Alright.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
::Continues grinning:: Computer: Transfer all command codes from Captain T'sela, Commanding Officer, U.S.S. Elara to Captain David Harison, Commanding Officer ...
