=/\==/\==/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10408.15 - "Qued , part II"=/\==/\==/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The crew have been granted shore leave on Risa.
Host SM_Lilia says:
At the present they are in the most ideal of places with some nasty Q
Host SM_Lilia says:
=/\==/\==/\==/\=Begin Mission=/\==/\==/\==/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Suddenly the crew are not on the Risan surface anymore´
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Sits an waits for the Q's next move::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: They are on the inside of a holo-deck
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::glances around assessing the situation, not impressed::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: looks around in frustration tail twitching in anger::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Looks around quickly:: Self: What the.................
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::watches the scenery change once more and looks around in worried apprehension:: All: A holo-deck?
Host Johnson says:
ACTION: A Starfleet officer with a black uniform, no rank enters
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: Looks that way sir. 
Host Johnson says:
ACTION: He is tall and red haired
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
XO: It would appear so ::turns to face the Starfleet officer::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Watches as a guy all dressed in black enters and thinks "Oh no not this..................this is worse than the Q"::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::looks around::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::wonders where the runabout went::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
Johnson: Would you mind explaining who you are?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: looks around for a weapon in case of trouble::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Thinks "Commander you really don't want to know"::
Host Johnson says:
::looks around, taking his time to answer, he is holding a PADD::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::looks around at the crew and notes the CIVs emotions change from the reaction of most of the others::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
:;then turns her attention back to the new guy, with curiosity::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::watches the Starfleet officer with mild annoyance and swishes his tail::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Tries to walk around Johnson to get a look at the PADD. Thinks "These guys are never up to anything good."::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::whispers:: CNS: Hiya Priya, I didn't expect to see you so soon, last thing I remember I was on the runabout back to the ship. You have any Idea what is going on?
Host Johnson says:
All: You can call me Johnson ::gives the PADD to Star who just came in::
Host Johnson says:
ACTION: Star is in a regular Starfleet uniform. No rank though
Host Johnson says:
All: As you may or may not guess this was a test
Aid_Star says:
::Takes the padd from Johnson::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::keeps her eyes on the new guy as she shakes her head:: CMO: Hiya ::she turns to him briefly with a smile before looking back at the man:: No I have no idea who he is or what he wants yet.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::takes a step forward:: Johnson: A test of what?
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Notices the new officer that has just entered. Thinks "Who is this now?"::
Host Johnson says:
XO: Of your abilities to respond to an unexpected situation
Host Johnson says:
XO: Admiral Ix thought Captain Turner's presence was enough to see what you are made of but ...
Host Johnson says:
XO: For what we need you ... there is further need for testing ::straightens himself::
Host Johnson says:
CIV: Captain Turner!
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::turns around and looks at the crew for a moment::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
Johnson: Johnson? ::Raises and eyebrow almost Vulcan style::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::looks towards Johnson as if he had omitted major parts of his sentences and awaits more, doubts she will get it::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
Johnson: Well being torn from a runabout certainly counts as unexpected. I take it my leave to Earth was simulated as well. Well I suppose that cuts down on training costs!
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::raises her eyebrows at the XO and shrugs:: Self: Okay so first the CO tests us, now the Admiral is getting involved with a group of questionable officers who are without rank.
Host Johnson says:
CIV: You are being reassigned. Your orders will be on your desk
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
Johnson: I must say I'm not impressed with your choice of people.
Host Johnson says:
::motions for Starr to take notes of everyone's reactions::
Host Johnson says:
ACTO: Oh? And have you any idea of why I chose you .... and for what?
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
Johnson: Now how did I know that was coming? You know I hate working with you guys right? ::Face goes dark::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::gives Turner a questioning look:: Self: One of the shortest assignments I've known.
Host Johnson says:
CMO: No, that wasn't simulated. We beamed you here from the shuttle
Host Johnson says:
::shrugs at the CIV::
Aid_Star says:
::Starts to make notes:: Note: Captain Turner doesn't seem to like this very much...
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
Johnson: No but I suppose your not going to tell me right?
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Turns and walks away from Johnson and goes into the shadows again like "their kind" usually does:: Self: I hate these assignments.
Host Johnson says:
ACTO: Clever ::smiles::
Host Johnson says:
XO: you are in a space station orbiting Risa. Your Captain will be away for a while. Take the Elara and report back to the Starbase. Your orders will be there
Host Johnson says:
XO: Starr will remain with you till you reach the starbase. You are to grant him access everywhere on the vessel
Host Johnson says:
::nods to Star and leaves::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: Sir I have problems with that.
Aid_Star says:
::Looks up and nods at Johnson::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
ACTO: So do I...
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
All: I have problems with taking orders from someone with no formal identification.
Aid_Star says:
::Turns to look at the XO:: XO: Very well then... Shall we go then? You haven't got all day, after all...
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
All: Okay everyone, I'm not going to pretend to know what’s happening here but I suggest we go along with things for now...
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::looks at Starr her eyes running from his head to the floor and then up to his face again, not convinced he will be a benefit or a nuisance::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Steps forward and looks at the Doc and whispers:: Doc: You don't wanna question this Doc. Trust me.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::turns to Star and swishes his tail:: Star: There better be a good explanation to all of this.
Aid_Star says:
XO: There is.... And you'll find out when the time comes...
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CIV: Ok I'll trust you on this Mr Turner, as you have more experience in these matters I take it, but I will be doing a little 'research' of my own...
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::nods to the XO and then looks back to the CMO:: XO: Though I would have to question as does the CMO the fact you as a commander would take orders from two officers with no identification and nothing other then these uniforms.
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Looks at all of the other officers in the same way and shakes his head to indicate they shouldn't agitate this situation::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
Star: I'll be keeping my eye on you. There better be no trouble while your aboard the ship.
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
CMO: Do what you wanna do Doc but you won't find much if anything at all. Again just trust me on that.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
ACTO: Make sure there is a security presence accompanying Mr Star at all times. ::heads for the holo-deck exit::
Aid_Star says:
::Glances at Shin:: ACTO: You do that... But don't forget what mister Johnson has said....
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::gives the CIV a more forceful look as if to ask why:: Self: Knowing has to be better then remaining in the dark? ::turns her attention back to the XO::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: On the outside of the holo-deck they find a regular Starfleet corridor. a few officers pass by, nothing out of the ordinary
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
CNS: There are a lot of elements inside the Federation counselor, not all of them move as we do.
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: exits the holo-deck and stops in the corridor::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
All: Now everyone is to report back to the Elara as soon as possible. Dismissed.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::puts on his "happy smiley Doc"" face:: Star: Hello there!! You probably know who I am, your type always does. Anyway, as a new addition to the Elara you are required to report to Sickbay for a routine medical. And don’t give me any Admiral Ix says rubbish, because I wont take it. I'm afraid Starfleet standing orders take precedence...
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
:;whispers:: XO: understood, but moving in such secrecy has its risks, do you suggest it is wise for them to risk a whole crew in order to fulfill whatever it is they want?
Aid_Star says:
::Follows the XO closely, taking notes whenever he feels confident his path is clear::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: moves to a computer terminal to locate the closest TR::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
Computer: Computer, what is the current location of the USS Elara
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Exits the holo-deck and walks to the nearest transporter room for a transport back to his Elara quarters::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::turns to the Doctor with a huge smile and a nod:: CMO: And a psych eval would be required I believe.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Computer>XO: The USS Elara is docked at docking hatch 3
Aid_Star says:
::Takes another note:: Note: Exec not certain about his current location.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CNS: I do believe it is warranted for new crew Counselor, how astute of you to remind me ::winks at her slyly::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: turns to Star:: Star: Before your allowed any access to the ship you'll have to submit to a standard Starfleet Security review
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::checks a computer terminal to find the route to docking hatch 3 and sets off:: Star: What exactly are we being tested for? Or do I have to wait to find that out... ::rounds a corner::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Materializes in his quarters:: Self: Argh! Those guys make me so mad! I didn't even unpack yet! I don't know what they want with this crew or how they decided after only two reports from me but this isn't over!
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: follows the XO determined not to let Star out of his sight::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::smiles towards the CMO and then turns her attention to Star with that friendly approachable counsellor look she saves for just such occasions::  Star: So where would you like to begin in sickbay, my office or with security?
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
COM USS Elara: Elara this is the CMO, can you arrange for my runabout to be tractored into shuttle bay 2, and my belongings returned to my quarters. I will be rejoining the ship presently. Rillix out.
Aid_Star says:
::Smiles:: XO: Indeed... You'll find about everything as soon as we.. That is, mister Johnson and me.. Think it is time... And that's not right now... ::Continues to walk with the XO::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>COM: CMO: That has already been done doctor, 2 hours ago.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
COM Solie: Acknowledged, with thanks.
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
CNS: I think we should start with Security.
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Walks over to the computer terminal and inserts a chip to encode the transmission above even the highest of Starfleet personnel:: Self: Having Orion contacts has its advantages.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::rounds another corner and approaches the docking hatch::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
XO: I think we have to insist our guest is given the same treatment as a regular officer and must therefore have his evaluations upon the start of duty. As Star is unwilling to chose which order is there any evaluation you would like to proceed first?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
Com: USS Elara: Security to docking hatch on the double.
Aid_Star says:
::Sees the docking hatch ahead:: XO: You're sure the Elara is docked here? ::Waits for a response to write down::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
Star: I am not sure which section of Starfleet you trained in Mr Star, but I do believe it is extremely rude not to acknowledge the requests of fellow officers!
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Sends a transmission to his friend in Starfleet personnel to go ahead with the transfer then opens a channel to his "brother"::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
CMO/ACTO: He will have all his evals before he gets the tour.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sec_Smith>COM: ACTO: Team in place
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS: I don’t think that will be necessary just yet. I think we should find out what is going on first, don’t you? ::smiles::
Aid_Star says:
::Turns around to the CMO:: CMO: You may think whatever you please, lieutenant.. But I believe that mister Johnson has made himself clear... ::Turns his back o the CMO again to see what the XO is doing::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::looks at the XO as if to question him:: XO: Sir, obviously not, otherwise your officers would not have called for such evaluations to take place, are you suggesting we set aside regulation protocols and neglect our duty?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
Com: Sec_Smith: Roger. Stand by
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::looks put out::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::ignores Star and opens the docking hatch::
Aid_Star says:
::Takes a note:: Note: Executive officer doesn't seem to care about a fellow officer's concern...
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
COM OPS Solie: Solie did you say TWO hours in your last transmission? I have only been gone 30 mins max.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::awaits a response from the XO and glances briefly at what she perceives to be a slightly puzzled doctor::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>COM: CMO: your vessel was brought empty 2 hours and 10 minutes ago
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CNS: Hey, apparently my runabout was brought back to the Elara 2 hours ago! Which means I have been unconscious for at least 90 minutes!
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::offers more information:: XO: If they said they are to continue testing you then it may be wise to follow procedure? And at the same time it would minimize risk to the Elara.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
COM OPS Solie: Thanks for the confirmation, out.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::looks at him puzzled:: CMO: Unconscious? ::shrugs:: Interesting I wonder how they came about, was your run about damaged in anyway?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: I have to agree with the CNS sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::turns on the CNS once again with a look of mild interest of his face:: CNS: Lt. If there was a need for an evaluation I would allow one, but Mr Star is not a member of the crew he is mearly an observer
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Gets no response on the comm so sends a written transmission and recites as he writes it:: Self: Commander Turner. "They" showed up again. I have been reassigned and thanks to my connections in personnel so have you. I don't like the way "they" operate. You are to report to the Elara and make sure that if "they" show up again..........
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CNS: It was fine when I left it. But I cant remember the time difference. Last thing I remember before the holo was being a the runabout helm.
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
Self: ..............that you help this crew in ANY way necessary. Turner out.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_lost>::happy to be at the helm again::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: As a guest he shouldn't be allowed access to certain areas of the ship sir.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::nods:: XO: As you wish Sir. ::wonders if the Feline in front of her has reason enough to trust this officer if he is indeed that::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::Enters docking hatch and rejoins the Elara::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::steps onboard the Elara:: CNS: But, as you seem so concerned with Mr Star's welfare perhaps you would like to escort him around the Elara for a while, that way if you feel he is in any immediate danger you will be on the scene to help!
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
CMO: Perhaps it is worth checking the shuttle's logs?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: steps aboard the ship and signals the Security team to follow Star::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CNS: I'll get on it now. XO: Sir I need to get something from my shuttle, permission to leave the party?
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::raises an eyebrow as if considering then gives the XO a nod:: XO: Again as you wish Sir.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The security team follows Star as ordered
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: with your permission sir I'll return to the bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
CMO: Granted
Aid_Star says:
::Smiles, taking more notes:: Note: Executive officer doesn't eel like giving a tour.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>*XO*: Sir, I have a few orders from Admiral Ix ... for your eyes only
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
XO: Cheers! ::coughs:: I mean.... thank you Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
ACTO: I will accompany you
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: Aye sir
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::takes nearest TR to Shuttle Bay 2::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
*OPS*: Understood, transfer them to the Captains ready room, I will read them shortly.
Aid_Star says:
CNS: Alright.. I'd love to see your engineering department first... ::Smiles::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::watches the CMO leave before she turns to Star with a warm smile:: Star: Certainly this way. ::looks back to the XO:: XO: If you have nothing more to add Sir?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
Sec_Smith: If he tries to interfere with normal operations I want him stopped immediately.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
*Engineering*: Engineering this is the Doc, can I get a hand from one of you guys, someone literate in sensor logs and cryptography if you can spare them?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::heads towards the TL::
Aid_Star says:
::Follows the CNS:: CNS: So, tell me... How long have you been onboard this ship?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: follows the XO to the TL::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Heads from his quarters to the TL::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::continues towards engineering:: Star: Not as long as some of its crew.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::sees his runabout::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::enters the TL, waits for the ACTO to enter then sets the lift running to the bridge:: ACTO: Do you often stick your neck out in front of superior officers? ::looks at the ACTO and doesn’t, for once, smile::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
Star: Will you be staying with us for a while or is this intended to be a short visit?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
XO: Only when the safety of the ship and crew are in question sir.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::enters the runabout and goes to the main computer bank::
Aid_Star says:
::Takes a note:: Note: Counselor evades question as to her time served on the Elara... ::Looks up from the padd:: CNS: My stay here will take as long as it is required. You will find out when we know enough..
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::smiles and faces the door:: ACTO: That’s good to hear. I want a detailed report of everywhere Star goes, and everything he accesses, on my desk every 2 hours ::exits the TL onto the bridge::
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: follows the XO on to the bridge:: XO: Aye sir.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::nods with interest:: Star: then if you are to be here for an indefinite amount of time, perhaps we could organize a gathering in the tranquil nebula to welcome you and introduce you to the crew?
ACTO_Ens_Shin says:
:: moves over to Tactical and inputs the proper orders::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
Himself: Here we go! Computer: computer, please run a level 5 diagnostic on the logs, i need to account for a 2 hour discrepancy.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
OPS: Ensign Solie, how many of our crew are currently onboard the Space station?
Aid_Star says:
CNS: The tranquil nebula... What's that? ::Raises an eyebrow::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Exits the TL onto the bridge at the same time as the XO::
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
Star: Elara's lounge.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>XO: None, we received orders to call everyone back. The only officer missing is the Captain, he was granted a LOA
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::arrives at engineering:: Star: Well here we are? ::steps through the doors and waits for Star to enter::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
OPS: Understood, prepare the ship for departure, I will be in the Captains ready room ::heads for the RR doors, spots the CIV:: CIV: Captain Turner, I thought you were being re-assigned
Aid_Star says:
::Smiles as they enter engineering:: CNS: Thank you... I'll just have a quick look around here... ::Takes random notes as he heads into engineering::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::receives report from computer - CMO left runabout 2 hours 25 mins ago via standard Starfleet transporter, was towed back to the Elara where it has remained.::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
XO: I am Commander but I still have some time aboard the Elara before I go. I am ready to help in anyway you need.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
Self: Odd behavior ::watches Star with interest he now leads the way:: Self: What I wouldn't give for a Medical Tricorder.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
CIV: If you could accompany me into the RR then, I have a few questions ::enters the RR and makes for the computer terminal there::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::is frustrated that there are no log discrepancies::
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::Follows the XO::
Aid_Star says:
::Walks to the warp core to have a look:: Note: Engineering seems to be run very smooth. Counselor appears to be willing to give a tour, even is having a kind attitude towards me..
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: When Mesme accesses the message he can see Admiral Ix
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::leaves shuttle bay 2, enters TL::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: She speaks briefly, with an even more unpleasant face than usual
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
Computer: Deck 12, Sickbay.
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
Star: Would you like an engineer to assist you?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Admiral Ix>XO: Commander Mesme. I am certain you met Mr Johnson, you are to obey his orders and have his pet...I mean his aid Star with full permission to visit every part of the ship
CNS_LtJG_Juuls says:
::is still watching him with intense curiosity very unsure of what to think about him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::sits at the desk and doesn’t look entirely happy:: CIV: Do you have any idea who Mr Johnson and Star are?
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The Admiral's face disappears
Aid_Star says:
::Shakes head:: CNS: No thank you.. I've been briefed on all specifications of the Nebula class vessel... I'll be fine.. ::smiles:: Thanks anyway
CIV_Capt_Vaughn_Turner says:
::turns from the XO and walks over to a window:: XO: The stars are beautiful aren't they?
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::Enters Sickbay, says hello to all on duty, and receives a warm applause for his promotion. He sits down in his office, pondering this new set of events::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::leans back on his chair and smiles:: CIV: Beautiful, yes indeed.
