=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10503.13 - "Sins of the Son, part III"=/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara is 30 minutes away from sailing onto another adventure. Aboard everyone gets ready, the Acamarian delegation was due 5 minutes ago. It would seem the Gatherers are not very keen on protocol
Host SM_Lilia says:
In the mean time, the ship seems to be again without a first officer. Peter Pazoski has relieved himself of duty for undetermined time.

OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CO: Sir, the Acamarians report they arrived at the Elara hatch.

CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: nods to OPS :: Assign them some quiet quarters - somewhere out of the way,   CTO: have there "personal security" meet them

OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::assigns quarters for the Acamarians and sends a message to the CTO::
Host Female says:

XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::can feel deep down the anger beginning to build:: Female: and the friendly advice?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: sits down in his RR and activates the viewscreen ::
Host Female says:
XO: You will remember things Peter. Things you were meant to forget. And you would have forgotten if you didn't have the flu. See you did something you shouldn't, and we made you forget it. 2 more years of ... juice therapy and it would have all been gone ::shakes her head::
Dr_Greene says:
::Reaches the little replicator:: Replicator: Large strawberry flavor slushy… and chocolate muffin..
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::receives all kinds of reports::
Host Female says:
ACTION: Admiral Ix's face appears on the screen. She does not look happy, even worse than before
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
Female: I want to know. I want to know why I destroyed that planet and everyone on it. What was my mission?
Host Female says:
<Admiral Ix>CO: Hello Captain, I have received disturbing orders from SF Command
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: is used to Ix not looking happy :; ADM: what can I do for you ma'am?
Dr_Greene says:
::Takes the large glass, straw included, in one hand and the muffin in the other and walks back to his office::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::receives report of science that they are ready::
Host Female says:
::sips the juice again:: XO: You will remember in time. But once you do, forget it. My purpose here is to tell you that and too assure you, you are not hallucinating you. Starfleet still needs you on active duty
Host Female says:
<Admiral Ix>CO: Its about your first officer. He is to be ::reads form a padd:: CO: Demoted to Lt for beurocratic reasons
Host Female says:
<Ens Redish>*CTO*: Redish to Starbuck
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::starts uploading the navigational algorithms to the probes main computer chip::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: pardon?
Host Female says:
<Admiral Ix>::sighs:: CO: This comes from way above me Joe. I have no idea what its about. I am literally just following orders
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::smiles:: Female: Then I think you have succeeded in your purpose.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*Ens Redish*: This is Starbuck
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
Female: Perhaps when I remember who you are we can have another little chat, but this time I will come and see you, you know, for "old times".
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:; look of disbelief :: ADM: No offence admiral but this is bull, and i suppose i'm supposed to give him the happy news?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::sends message to CEO to ask if Main Engineering is ready for depart::
Host Female says:
XO: Well then, see you around Petey ::gets up:: XO: Be certain we will meet again. Meanwhile, your Captain needs to talk to you. A matter of little importance, its not his fault really.
Host Female says:
::heads out the door then turns back:: XO: Remember, if you leave the fleet you'll never know the truth. See you around
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::turns around and walks to the OPS console:: OPS: Yes Mr. Tar, we are ready ::laughs and walks back to his console on the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
Female: You can count on that. ::watches the female go::
Host Female says:
<Admiral Ix>::nods:: CO: You are his commanding officer, and his friend from what I gather
Host Female says:
<Ens Reddish> *CTO*: The Acamarians insist on talking to a senior officer
Dr_Greene says:
::Sits back down behind his desk:: Self: I hate paperwork... ::Taps the computer console and pulls up some more statistics::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::looks up:: CEO: Oops, my bad, but thank you.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*Ens Reddish*: Roger that...I’ll be right there
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM:I need more of a reason than "beaurocracy", I refuse to demote an officer of mine without better reason than that
Host Female says:
::goes back just in time to take the bottle of orange juice, winking at Peter:: XO: You don't want to be caught with that do you? ::winks::
Host Female says:
::leaves::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
OPS: No problem Mr. Tar, I tend to get a little "into" my work sometimes and don't notice things happening around me, it's understandable. ::nods to the OPS officer::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::exits the bridge and goes to the Acamarians::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::as soon as the female has gone and the door is closed he stands up from his chair and in one swift motion sends the table spinning across the room::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Then you might as well loose your own rank. These are your orders
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: if I did would it save Pazoski's rank?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
FCO: Are all propulsion and navigational systems ready?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: No. The decision is made. You are just to communicate it to him
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:

Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Goko>CTO: Ah Mr. Starbuck ::Smiles:: CTO: These gentlemen wouldn't let us go to the bridge
Dr_Greene says:
::Grabs a padd and taps it, making a summary of the stats on his screen::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: what kind of organization gives someone a medal one week and then demotes them the next :: shakes his head :: if that is all then good day to you, i have real work to do  :: cuts the comm ::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Well as long as you aren’t carrying explosive charges... ::smiles::  This way gentlemen... ::moves with the security team and the Acamarians to the bridge::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:

XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::walks out onto the bridge and surveys the scene:: *CO*: I was just on my way to see you sir...
Host Goko says:
CTO: Of course not! ::smiles and moves along:: CTO: I had heard of your Starfleet ships but this is my first time in one. Lovely!
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*XO* Good then, I’ll be in my ready room
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:

Host Goko says:
CTO: And powerful ::Smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::steps into the RR and makes his way over to the desk:: CO: You wanted to see me sir?
Host Goko says:
CTO: But I heard we are still 10 minutes before departing?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::sees the XO enter the bridge and heading for the RR::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Yes... that is correct
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: sighs :: XO: yeah, but you first - take a seat
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: starts running flight simulations through the computer . just for fun ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::finishes installing the nav protocols on the probe:: Self: This should work fine now.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*Security Team*: ::whispers:: keep a sharp eye on them…this does not feel right::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::sits down and composes himself:: CO: Sir, I recently discovered that someone has been drugging me in an attempt to remove an event from my memory. I know now who it was who was doing this and the situation has been... dealt with.
Dr_Greene says:
::Puts the padd away and grabs his glass, and drinks some::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
XO: well isn't this the day for revelation :: shakes his head :: what do you mean by dealt with?
Host Goko says:
CTO: Is it far, to your bridge?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::turns around:: CO: Capitan, the probe is ready and on stand by. ::nods::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::Reminds him of a line:: Self: Life forms, you tiny little life forms, where are you?
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: Lets just say the organization responsible is content with leaving me alone for the time being.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Nope.... here we are ::opens the door to the bridge and lets the Acamarians enter first::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: However, they did tell me you would have something to tell me...
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*CEO*: acknowledged
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
XO: I’m afraid I need more than that, I want a full written report from you by the end of the day
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
*Bridge*: Sickbay prepped for departure.
Host Goko says:
ACTION: The group of 6 Acamarians enter the bridge, amazed
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: You will have it on your desk sir by 22:00
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
XO: As for my news well its from the Starfleet center for pointless beaurocracy and its not good
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::sees all departments reporting ready for departure::
Host Goko says:
CTO: Very nice! When do we leave?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
XO: You are to be demoted to Lieutenant Peter, for reasons which escape me
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Momentarily… now care to answer some questions?
Host Goko says:
::nods:: CTO: Certainly
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::nods to the Acamarian::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods slowly to the CO:: CO: Understood sir. ::stands and places one of his pips on the table:: Will there be anything else, I believe we have a delegation to escort?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Is there anything you left out at the meeting?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Looks at the XO :: XO: What? That’s it?
Host Goko says:
CTO: Not that I can remember. Our records are available to you, but I told you everything of importance
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::smiles:: CO: Well if you like sir I could get upset and rant at a few of the crew, but I don’t think that is going to change the situation.  After all sir, its only a rank, its the person that really matters.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Were we'll be relying on your cooperation for this mission
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: stands up :: XO: I agree entirely - that’s why you are still my XO, look your still officially off duty, if you want to take more time I want you with a clear head
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
*CO*: Captain, all departments report ready for departure.
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: sick of waiting he falls asleep at is station ::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
XO: and frankly yes I would prefer it if you did rant a little, it might reduce my urge to rant at someone
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*OPS*: OK get us underway
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::runs a final diagnostic on the ships systems before departure::
Host Goko says:
CTO: But of course! I want to find where all that wealth is coming from as much as you do! Perhaps with it we too can build Starships like this
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::chuckles:: CO: In that case sir I think I am ready to return to active duty, if only to protect the crew from you!
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Certainly not as beautiful but as long as it's efficient…and stocked full of drinks... ::smiles::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
COM: SBOPS: This is the USS Elara, requesting permission to depart.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: takes the pips :: XO: I’ll hold on to these for you, till I can give them back, go do some work :: smiles ::
Host Goko says:
<SBOPS> COM: USS Elara: Permission granted, Have a safe journey
Dr_Greene says:

OPS_Ens_Tar says:
COM: SBOPS: Thank you. USS Elara out.
Host Goko says:
CTO: Indeed drinks ::smiles and pats the CTO strongly on the back::
Host Goko says:
::stops and looks at Starbuck oddly:: CTO: Say... have you always been blue? Never thought of a color change?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: looks at the pip then slips it into a drawer before exiting the RR into the bridge :: OPS: status report
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
FCO: Take us out, one-quarter impulse.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CO: We are just leaving the Starbase, Sir.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: The color of my skin does not matter... there is no writing that says that a blue Klingon cannot be a fearful opponent
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: eyes snap open and he leans forward :: OPS: my pleasure ::starts getting the engines humming:: OPS: one quarter impulse
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::surveys the bridge again::
Host Goko says:
CTO: I know, I do not judge you by your color. But you have to admit you would look a lot more ... fearsome in any other color
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Welcome back Comman....errrr..... Lieutenant ::is confused but manages to hide it quite well::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: takes his seat ::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
Acamarians: I hope you are enjoying the view.
Host Goko says:
ACTION: Slowly and with grace the Elara heads out the Starbase
Host Goko says:
XO: Ah yes Commander! I hope this will be a pleasant trip
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
All: we are away
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CEO: Its good to be back Chief. ::looks at his almost confused expression:: Difference of opinion with command.
Host Goko says:
::looks at the XO's pips and frowns::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Goko: Blue is the condition in which I was thought... I wish to keep my proventions... my parents are proud of me as I am of them...I do not plan of disgracing my Bolian part because of a silly aesthetics
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::enters bridge from TL, overhears Goko's comments on blue skin and smiles::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
Goko: I am sure it will be.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::moves over and puts a hand on his chair::
Host Goko says:
CTO: Ah proud of your clan. My my you would have made a great Acamarian. ::lowers his voice:: CTO: Just don't start a war over it like we did
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: don't spare the horses, lets blow the dust off the engines
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CO: Hullo Captain. It's good to be on the move again. Sickbay is shipshape and Bristol fashion. I just popped up to see if everything is ok.
Host Goko says:
::looks at the doctor arriving:: CTO: Another one heh?
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: smiles :: CO: aye :: starts turning up the juice :: CO: moving up to full impulse…preparing for warp.

Host Goko says:
ACTION: The Elara speeds up on impulse, the stars fly by more quickly
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CO: hold on to your undies :: starts running up into warp and keeps it rising ::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: raises an eyebrow at the FCO ::
Host Goko says:
::raises an eyebrow wondering what undies are::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: hits warp 6 :: self: I don’t want to take it too far
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: turns round :: CO: sorry....
Host Goko says:
ACTION: With a light burst, the Elara goes to Warp, stabilizing at Warp 6
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CO: kind of a bad moment hug?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::sees stars change into stripes::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::walks over to the CTO:: CTO: How are the tactical systems looking?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::monitors the warp drive::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: I don’t believe a hug would be appropriate, just fly the thing
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::walks down near the viewscreen:: No-one in particular: I do like the view from up here, it is far more pleasant than my quarters.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Huh.. um.. Last time I checked they were okey dokey...inside Starfleet standards...
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: lowers the eyebrow back to condition green ::
Host Goko says:
CO: You have a cheerful crew Captain
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:

XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: I think we want them a little higher than normal standard is what we are aiming for here Mr. Starbuck
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::presses a few buttons to compare the trajectory to the speed:: CO: ETA to the nebula is 36 hours.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: I always keep them at 105% efficiency and I took the liberty of cutting in some more photons in the cargo bays
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: ::lowers voice:; Between you and me... I really do not like this situation....
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CO: we can get there faster, just say the word :: a hopeful air in his voice ::
Host Goko says:
::shrugs and leaves gets near OPS whispering:: OPS: He is in a foul mood
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::taps the CTO on the shoulder:: CTO: I don't think you like any situation ::smirks:: keep your eyes open ::walks off across the bridge::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Nods to OPS ::
Host Goko says:
OPS: Do you think he heard of that terran drink called whiskey? I think he could use some
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Self: I sure will sir...
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: steady as she goes
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CO: aye :: nods to the CO ::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CO: Well if everything is fine up here. I'll be in the labs on deck 16. I have a peculiar culture of Aglonian measles I need to look at.

CMO: OK, and thank you lieutenant
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::looks at Goko:: Goko: I know whiskey yes, but I don't think the captain needs that.
