CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::makes his way to the access port of the Elara & leaves the ship - pausing outside to see if the XO is around::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::watches some guy walk past her heading to the Starbase::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
TL: Starbase airlock
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>CNS: Hello. You are part of the new Elara crew?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::TL comes to a stop, he exit and heads for the access port, sees the CTO::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::gives the strange woman in a red dress a second glance::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::makes it to the Starbase airlock and enters the Starbase wondering where he should go first::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::blinks and nods:: Sarah: Help, yes I am new and feeling slightly lost.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::beckons the XO to him::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Sarah: Do you know where I could find the XO?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::meets up with the CTO:: CTO: Timrok
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>CNS: Don't worry, you'll find your way soon. Most of the senior crew is not aboard anyway. Anyway, I am Sarah ::smiles::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: Sarah: My name is Karida, nice to meet you.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>CNS: I am not certain, I believe the XO was off duty
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Sarah: Oh, okay, thank you.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: Sir, i wanted to catch you before we see the ADM...
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>CNS: But I believe I just saw the CEO heading out. Perhaps he knows who you can report to
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: in case the D`Vor should come up..
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO: yeah...go ahead
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods with a smile:: Sarah: Thank you, I guess I will chase him and ask.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: the thing is, i know you’ve been having a hard time about what we did...::pauses:: i just want you to know you made the right choice, I’ll back you up
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::picks a hallway and begins walking down it::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::leaves Sarah and jogs to catch up with the person she believes to be the CEO::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>::nods and smiles, thinking she still can do her job as a civilian aboard the Elara::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: don’t go falling on your sword over this
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: Excuse me, are you the Elara's CEO? ::looks lost and confused::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO: thank you, but I made the decision, no one else is responsible. I’m ok but it is something that will always be with me, something I am not proud of
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::hears someone behind him and turns to see a woman in a red dress::  CNS:  Yes I am.  Something I can help ya with?
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: well there are two ways of looking at any situation . We should go ::waits for the XO to lead::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix> ::stands outside her ready room looking at the Starbase viewscreen and wondering what is taking the officers so long::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: I am the new counselor, pleased to meet you, I was wondering if there is anyone in particular I should report to onboard?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO: lets go before the Admiral get impatience, I wonder if we’ve be assigned a new Admiral, never heard of Admiral lx ::he walks quickly heading toward SB ops::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Well welcome aboard.  I'm Max Heller.  I would suggest XO Wall I think I saw him just outside the airlock though it looked like he had somewhere to go.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::shrugs & goes along with the XO:
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: CEO: Sorry how rude, I am Karida Janan. ::looks puzzled again:: XOs have a habit of running away when I am after them.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::he approaches the SB OPS and enters quickly with Timrok::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles and offers her hand to shake hands with the CEO::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::arrives looking for the new admiral::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::shakes the CNS hand::  CNS:  I doubt it's anything personnel.  XOs always seem to be running one place or another.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix>::A female trill, probably in her mid 50s. She has long dark hair arranged in a complex braid. She is not very tall, probably around 160 cm but has a strong presence. She does not look happy::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::chuckles:: CEO: It would seem I have that effect on them.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::in the SB OPS looking around and sees "a admiral standing" outside a room off to the side:: Admiral LX: Admiral?
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sees the unhappy admiral & discreetly steps behind the XO::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Would you like me to help you track him down?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix>XO/CTO: Finally Commanders, I was beginning to wonder if you had lost you way ::approaches the door of her ready room and it opens, then she motions the other officers to go in::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: CEO: As long as I am not taking too much of your time I would be thankful.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::enters the Admiral office::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  No trouble.  Shall we?  ::indicates back down the hallway that he saw the XO heading down
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Admiral: Indeed, perhaps the waypoints here are substandard ::enters the office::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods and starts along the corridor:: CEO: So how long have you been with the Elara?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix>::waits for them to go in, the follows, heading for the other side of the desk::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::stands at attn in the RR as she walks behind her desk::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix> I am Admiral Grelia Ix, I have just been assigned to the Starbase ::sits::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Only a couple months just since her refit, though it has been an interesting time.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stands beside the XO awaiting an invitation to sit::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix> CTO/XO: Take your sits gentlemen
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sits down ::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: CEO: Well she is a lot bigger than my last ship, so I guess I will be lost onboard for a few weeks.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Admiral lx: ::sits down:: thank you Admiral
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  What was your last ship?
Host SM_Lilia says:
CTO/XO: Captain Harison isn't here right now so I must brief you. I will send him this information later
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: USS Pharaoh, a defiant, so very small. 
Host SM_Lilia says:
CTO/XO: As you know the Elara has been docked and without a regular assignment for some time now. All of this because we needed time to evaluate the impact of your last mission ...
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  That they are.  This is my first ship.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::fidgets uncomfortably then glances at the XO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks over briefly at Timrok then back to the Admiral after what she just said::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: Well I have heard good reports about the Elara, though I have ended up her by pure coincidence.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO/CTO: The destruction of an entire species is never something we can take lighthearted, even if that species was the D'Vor ::leans forward:: However ...
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::finds the hallway ends at the Starbase OPS.  But can't see the XO::  Computer:  Locate Commander Wall.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  It's a good crew.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stares at the admiral::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Admiral IX: yes I take you have read all the logs a reports, as I stated I take full responsibility
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: CEO: That’s great news, I guess it makes work easier when the crew works together
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::frowns as she is interrupted:: XO: Indeed I have
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::tries hard to stop himself from shaking his head::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
<Computer> CEO:  Commander wall is in Admiral Ix's office.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  That is true.  Hmm.  Seems the XO is occupied at the moment.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: Ah I guess I just have to find something to do with myself until he is finished ::smiles::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO/CTO: We have concluded you did what needed to be done. Still, the reason why I was assigned here is to continue the investigation into your further actions.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Shall we go see what kind of trouble we can find?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Admiral IX: sir, further actions?
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::feels his career slipping down the drain::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO: Yes ::picks up a PADD and hands it to Wall:: XO: Here are your next mission orders
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles and nods:: CEO: Sounds interesting, I have not had a chance to see what is on this Starbase yet, I guess we have time to find out.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO: You are to proceed in a first contact mission. Further orders are in that PADD
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<proceed>
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Admiral LX: ::takes PADD:: what does this mean investigation into our further actions, the entire crew or just me and Timrok?
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::heads down the hallway looking for somewhere interesting::  CNS: So where you from?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO: As you should know Commander, the actions of the crew under your command are your responsibility. Therefore it doesn't matter who we are looking to
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::Walks with the CEO:: CEO: Well originally Betazed, I guess, but I do not really know it as my home.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO/CTO: Now unless you have any other serious questions, there I have work to do and so do you
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: And where are you from?
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Originally Italy on Earth.  Though I consider the Elara my home now.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
ADM: if I might have a word.. in private ::waits for the XO to leave::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::thinks this is not the first impression I would have wanted to meet with any Admiral, I’m already on her hit list::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: I guess it gets like that, after spending enough time on starships they do become home.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::salutes Admiral lx:: Admiral lx: thank you
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::sees a bar up on the right::  CNS:  Care for a drink?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::nods to the XO:: XO/CTO: Call your crew back aboard and get underway to the coordinates in that PADD ASAP
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods:: CEO: That’s been the best thing I have heard all day, sure any idea where we can find a bar on the station?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::salutes Admiral lx:: Admiral lx: thank you ::he turns around and exits the RR::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  There appears to be one just ahead.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::nods again then looks down at a PADD, working, ignores the 2 officers leaving::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::waits till the door closes behind the XO:: ADM: Commander Wall is a noble man & as such will take the blame for what happened with the D`Vor, but the truth of the situation is he has served aboard the Elara for a relatively short period of time & his experience of the D`Vor was minimal, he was following my advice when we did what we did, to blame him would be... immoral
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::looks up not expecting the CTO to have stayed::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::he leaves the SB ops area slowly heading back to the Elara::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles and heads for the bar with the CEO::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
ADM: he’s a good man and a good officer - he doesn’t deserve to be crucified for this
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CTO: I did not blame anyone Commander. Nor can you blame yourself. A commanding officer is responsible for the decisions made aboard his ship. Now I'm not attacking your XO, so there is no reason for you to defend him. You are dismissed Commander!
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::enters the bar and takes a seat::  Bartender:  Scotch on the rocks.  ::turns to the CNS::  CNS:  What's your poison?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks back to see or not to see Timrok? oh no what is he doing or saying to the Admiral::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
ADM: your not backing him up either Ma’am, it amounts to the same thing ::salutes the ADM & turns to leave::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: CEO: Alas I have to go chasing the XO after a few so I would rather not be tipsy, I'll have just about any fruit juice going.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::he continues back to the ship, he will talk to him later::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::as the CTO leaves she brings up her personal file on the Elara crew and makes some markings::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::exits the room swiftly::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::grins:: CEO: Actually add a short of Vodka to it, I am sure one won't hurt.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::smiles and turns to the bartender who is already preparing their drinks::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
<Bartender>CEO/CNS:  Here ya go enjoy.  ::sets their drinks down::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::hurries back to the Elara - angered::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::he has the SB OPS make a announcement for the Elara crew:: <SB OPS>: ::SB wide announcement:: all Elara personnel please report back to the ship ASAP
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::takes a drink and turns around to find a table::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::picks up his drink and hear the announcement::  CNS:  Looks like we'll have to cut this short.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::looks to the CEO and nods:: CEO: That is not what I expected to hear.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::he walk up to the airlock passage way to the ship and waits by the entrance way::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: Shall we? Have you any idea how we get back I can't remember ::gestures to the door:: 
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Um vaguely  I'm sure we can find it easily enough.  ::takes a swig of his scotch before heading for the door::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::marches back to the Elara, entering through the same port he left before::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::follows the CEO:: 
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::watching as Timrok passes him, he follows him in to the ship:: CTO: Timrok...hold on
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::pauses as he here`s the XO beckon:
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: sir
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO: for a Vulcan you can be very stubborn at times, what did you remain behind and say to the Admiral
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::comes to an intersection not sure which way to go::  CNS:  Don't suppose you remember which way we came do ya?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::stares quite blankly:: CEO: Erm, that way I think? ::points:: But perhaps we should ask the computer to be sure.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::entering the ship while walking with the CTO::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: I take my stubborn-ness from my mother, I had a private matter to discuss with the admiral - nothing of importance ::changing the subject:: interesting we should be thrown into a first contact mission considering our recent history don’t you think?
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Would probably be a good idea.  Computer: Which way to the Elara Airlock?
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
<Computer>CEO:  Down the Halway on your right.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO: yes ::thinks he knows Timrok by now:: maybe our new Admiral isn’t so down on us after all
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Appears you were right.  ::heads down the hallway.::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles and follows the CEO again::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
XO: perhaps... it will be good to be out there again
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: Believe me that is a first my sense of direction is terrible.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::enters a nearby TL with Timrok:: TL: Bridge
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Well it seems to be better than mine.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::gets to the Elara:: CEO: Seems we have found it.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::tries to ignore that awkward silence as the TL travels to its destination::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CEO: Now to find a TL I guess.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CNS:  Now that I know.   ::indicates down the hallway::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles:: CEO: Ah thank you.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO: Timrok well its behind us, if at anytime it is brought up on board I or the Captain will handle it. After all I am the first officer, I will put a lid on it quickly
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods in agreement::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::head to the TL and enters it:: CEO: Are you joining me on the bridge or heading to engineering?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: As the Elara crew finish their business on the Starbase they quickly head to their posts on the Ship. The Starbase corridors begin to look more and more empty
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::enters the TL after the CNS::  CNS:  The bridge I think  Need to find out what they've got planned for us.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::TL comes to a stop, he steps on to the Bridge::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::waits for the TL to halt then exits to the bridge & accesses the TAC console::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
TL:  Bridge.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::runs a quick diagnostic::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::TL stops and opens to the bridge::  CNS:  There is Commander Wall.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::arrives at the bridge and steps out with a slight nod to the CEO:: CEO: Thank you. 
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*Shipwide*: this is Cmdr. Wall all personnel to there stations, were are departing the station is a couple of minutes, conduct departure procedure immediately all departments
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::Enters bridge and heads to the Engineering station::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS>XO:We have permission to depart. All departments report ready
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::makes her way to the XO:: XO: XO Wall I believe, I am Counselor Janan, I have just joined this crew and believe that it is you I should be reporting to, unfortunately I have not been able to find the Captain.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CNS: Ah yes welcome onboard, the Captain is preoccupied, take a sit ::points to her sit on the Bridge:: I will speak to you after we depart the SB
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods then turns to take her seat:: Self: Ah a chair, what luxury.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
DutyFCO: 1/4 impulse and take us out
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::recognizes the CNS as the lady in the red dress from before::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: As the XO finishes speaking the Starbase doors open and the Elara majestically begins to move out of the Starbase
Host Admiral_Ix says:
