CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Just walks onto the bridge, still a bit shaky and finds his console::
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::walks onto the bridge, freezing a mere foot from the TL doors, she looks nervous, her breath seems to stop whilst she glances around wide eyed::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CTO: everyone on board?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: Think so... Checking... ::checks::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:

CO: Yes sir... everyone reporting to be onboard... :;in low voice:: even Ix
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Begins to work around at his console, checking the area's around the ship::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: does a slight double take at that last piece of news ::
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::quickly retreats out of the door back to the TL, snapping to the computer as the doors shut:: Computer: Deck 12.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 *CEO*: Report! Are all systems ready for launch
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::sitting at the helm periodically polishing bits of the console with his sleeve::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::gets up from his bed:: *CO:* One moment captain ::checks the status monitor in his quarters:: Yes, engineering reports ready and able.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 FCO: get clearance from the dock master and get us underway
Host TigerLady says:
ACTION: The ops console flashes indicating a message has been received.
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::snaps his head round at the captains' order and immediately regrets it:: CO: Aye sir. ::contacts the dock master for clearance::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks around the bridge for a second. Almost caught in daydreaming about him being on the deck of a 17th century sea vessel as the captain was ordering to set sail to the unknown::
Host TigerLady says:
<Dock Master> COMM: USS Elara: Captain Timrok You are clear to depart, please make it hasty your departure window has only fifteen minutes remaining before we must reschedule.
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::receives clearance and acknowledges before slowly moving the USS Elara from her seat in the docking clamps::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::gets to the bathroom and looks at the mirror:: Self: I need a haircut ::makes a sad face and fixes his uniform:: Computer: Computer, cancel that music request. ::exits his quarters::
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::enters sickbay doors and glances around more memories, Moria, the others, she looks to the office hoping someone is in::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
*CO*: Sickbay to Bridge, we are all in order down here.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: say goodbye to Earth, for now at least
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Self: Bye bye Earth... hello Romulans!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters the bridge:: Out loud: Good morning everyone ::heads for his console::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*CMO*: Thank you Doctor, lets see how long we can keep it that way
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods to the captain:: CO: I hope we'll be getting back here soon sir. But I am glad I got to say goodbye to my family this time. ::Smiles::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::Sits at his desk and brings up the latest files on Romulan physiology::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: nods to the CSO before scowling lightly at the CEO in an accusing manner ::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::sees a little blip on his screen:: CO: Clear of the station Cap'n.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 FCO: engage warp drive - standard cruising speed
Host TigerLady says:
ACTION: As the Elara begins to leave Timrok's world falls silent, he hears nothing and has just a feeling of emptiness, held for a second somehow detached from everything, but aware enough to realize, he quickly returns to his normal self.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CO: I apologize for being late captain, I had a headache, think it was overworking myself ::nods::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CO: Aye Cap'n, engaging at warp 6. ::prods a few buttons::
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::sees the Doctor and approaches in a very formal manner, a small cough to get his attention::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: rubs his ears after the momentary lapse :: CEO: Lieutenant, you haven't even begun to be overworked - but I will soon change that
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::sniffles slightly at the hearing of that::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: thinks to himself for a moment ::
Host TigerLady says:
ACTION: Elara jumps to warp starting it's journey to their next home base..
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Just minds his business at his console::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::turns arround and begins work::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: feels a certain sense of relief to be putting Earth behind him ::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Feels a little awkward to leave Earth behind all of a sudden::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::toys with the idea of putting earth on the rearward facing view screen::
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> CMO: Doctor... I need a moment of your time please...
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::looks up from his reading:: CIV: Hello there Lieutenant. How can I help?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: As far as long range scanner and sensor array reports are concerning, our journey should be smoother then a Risa dancer's behind
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::brings up the navigational data on his console::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CTO: That’s what I like to hear  :: thinks for a second :: the journey I mean
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Checks his monitor for any abnormalities.:: CO: Sir, according to my sensors too. We should have a uneventful voyage to the Starbase.
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::produces a Padd from behind her back:: CMO: I need these... ::she watches for his reaction to the list::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: Of course sir, i didn’t mean other ways
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CSO: Good
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::Takes the PADD and reads the list:: CIV: Interesting. Is this a formal request, or can I ask why you need these?
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 Self: its unanimous - the trouble should start any moment now then
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::looks closer at the sensor data and monitors it::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::makes small alterations to the heading to keep the ship on course::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::sends a silent message through the console to the CEO.. the message reads " You are in trouble with the CO again... better start actually working again until he chills off"::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Sneezes:: Self: Yuck, I think I need to see the doc after my shift.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: begins to pace slowly at the back of the bridge - looking over the crews shoulders as he goes ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: Stops behind the CTO ::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::quickly tabs to security screen::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::deletes the message and all trace of it::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: Yes sir? ::looking behind::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CTO: Nothing, carry on :: after a second continues on his "pace" ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 FCO: ETA to destination!
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::sighs hard and deletes the message::
Host TigerLady says:
Action: Once again a chill passes by the CO, A faint whisper, 'not much to see' and the faint mocking laughter.
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> CMO: You may but perhaps my medical profile should answer most of it ::She smiles knowing all to well that half of this is classified:: Or my last place of work, as a Doctor and psychotherapist...::her eyes turn to him once more::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Gets a little nervous as he sees the captain stopping at the console, watching the way he looks::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: stops abruptly ::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CO: Calculating............. ::prods at his display for a second::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CO: We should be in visual range in about ten minutes Cap'n.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 FCO: Very good
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: I’ll be in my ready room , you have the bridge..... IF you have the time
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> CMO: Perhaps it would be better to say with years you would most likely never have this developed with frontline vessels such as this, consider the details as a gift, the classified sort, between a doctor and patient.
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
::chuckles:: CIV: I have spent plenty enough time around Starfleet intelligence and classified material to know when to poke my nose in, and when to get on with it. Request granted Lieutenant ::places thumb on PADD to authorize:: Just visit pharmaceuticals down the corridor for them to replicate what you need. And just as an aside. If I need to know, I will - classified be damned. That's just my style. But it's never come to that
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CO: Yes sir ::nods::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: enters his ready room and gets himself a glass of cold water from the replicator ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::walks to the chair and sits down, looking at the little console at the right hand side::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Look around at the crew as the captain left to his ready room. Trying to notice the crews expressions and work attitude::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
FCO: Mr. Sollo, can you give me a report on our location and heading.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: gulps the water down in one go then sets down the glass before rubbing his head slightly - noticing a slight sweat from his brow ::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::opens up his game of Solitaire 3000 since there nothing else to do::
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::Bows her head with a smile:: CMO: Noted, Thank you. ::she slowly turns to leave his office::
CMO_LtJG_Ordo says:
CIV: Have a nice day Lieutenant. Let me know if you need anything.
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CEO: Checking now, give me a minute.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Watches his console as he sees a blimp, then looks at the CEO:: CEO: Sir, I have the Starbase on our long range scanners. Just outside of visual reach.
Host TigerLady says:
<CIV_Lt_Pazoski> ::nods her head slightly again as she continues away from sickbay::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CEO: Well that answers that then. ::Smiles::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::goes back to prodding his console::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: leans against the view port and watches the stars pass by ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
FCO: Very well, take us to it and establish a course to orbit it.
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CEO: Right, I'll get on it now.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
FCO: After we established visual contact, you can hail them and ask for docking permission as well. ::nods to the FCO::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
CEO: I have a visual of the station Lieutenant. On screen?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
FCO: Please do....
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
All: Damn! ::notices everyone eyeing him:: Erm... Sorry about that....         Self: Damn... I lost again... damn solitaire...
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
::pops a picture of a space station on the view screen and opens a channel::
FCO_Ens_Sollo says:
COM: SB123: Docking office this is the USS Elara, requesting permission to dock, Please acknowledge.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CO*: Bridge to the Captain, sir, we are in visual range of the station.
Host TigerLady says:
Action: The viewscreen of the Elara seems to ripple slightly as the stars before them are replaced by a Starbase, the image jumping to a larger form, twice as the crew magnify what they see. The Elara is within minutes from reaching Starbase 123, and it's briefing room.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 ::steps back from the window:: *CEO*: Very good, proceed with docking
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::closes the Solitaire 300 app and re-launches the security screen::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::gets up from the chair:: *CO:* Acknowledged, McKnight out.
Host TigerLady says:
Action: Starbase OPS gives confirmation of their clearance to dock, providing them with a small welcoming shuttle they can see from the viewscreen turning from the station to escort the nebula to another temporary resting place.
