Stardate 10004.02
	'The Launch'

Host Mikey says:
To: Captain Senn Nayla, Commanding Officer, USS Europa 
Fr: Admiral William Crenshaw, Starfleet Command 
Sd: 10004.02 
Re: Mission Orders

Captain Nayla, 

There will be a celebration and re-launching ceremony on Starbase 412 at 2000 hours. Most of your crew are still en route, since Starbase 412 is in the middle of no-where..

The crew of the Europa who have made it aboard should proceed to the main banquet room. 

There are some high-profile Admirals planning to attend, so this is a dress-uniform occasion.

After the main celebration, you are to board the Europa and make plans to take her out. You will have a skeleton crew for her shakedown cruise. You will receive further instruction at that time. 

Best of luck to you and your crew, Captain.

Vice-Admiral William Crenshaw 
Starfleet Command

The USS Europa was recently brought into spacedock for massive repair and restructuring.. the Europa has spent the last 10+ years charting previously undiscovered space... the crew of the Europa didn't even know there was a War going on, let alone what the Dominion were..

::taps badge:: *ALL Europa crew*: Report to your stations we launch shortly.

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
:;while no one is looking she shakes the bottle of Roth Picard and giggles::

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
::returns the empty glass to the bar and heads for a window to watch the proceedings::

Admiral_Savek says:
Adm Edwards: Are we going to follow the old custom or "Rechristening " ?

CSO:  Ok nice seeing you again ::hugs him::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::he eyes the MO:: MO: let's get down to sickbay before we launch.

Admiral_Savek says:
::Follows Adm Greska ::

TO_Chip says:
CTO: I'll come with you.....You never know if you'll need a second set of hands up there...

RAdm_McDowell says:
::looks under the podium, grabs an obscure dark bottle... chases after Edwards and secretively presses it into his side:: Edwards: Tradition.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Walks out of the banquet room and heads for the airlock.  Crosses gangway and enters the nearest TL:: Bridge

MO_Natalia says:
CMO: I'm fine sir.. I have detox in the med kit.. we should go now..

XO_Zaldivar says:
::enters the Europa and heads to the Bridge::

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
::places the bottle of Roth Picard 2343 in the launching tube, closing the port and waits to press the launch button::

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
Admiral Savek: Sir, I do believe we are following tradition.. 

TO_Chip says:
::Jumps into the same TL as the CTO before the doors close:: CTO: You don’t mind do you?

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
MO: I agree. ::walks towards the TL::

CSO_Halsey says:
CIV: Great. My wife is also on the Europa, she is the counselor

MO_Natalia says:
CMO: beside we should beam over

Admiral_Savek says:
Adm Edwards, Adm Greska has a bottle of Roth Picard set to launch

CTO_Ryan says:
::Waits for TO to enter the TL:: Chip: Yeah, sure...come on!  Computer: Bridge!

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
Admiral Savek: Very good Sir. ::turns to look at the Nebula-class beauty::

K`Tracht says:
::heads for his quarters::

TO_Chip says:
::Smiles and leans against the TL wall::

Admiral_Savek says:
Adm Edwards: If you would give the signal ?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits TL onto the Bridge.  Heads for Tac station and begins last minute diagnostics on the shields and weapons systems::

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
::stands and looks at the Europa::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::they both beam to sickbay::

CNS_K-Rash says:
::reaches behind the bar and grabs a bottle of blood wine::

K`Tracht says:
::Nayla is the Captain of the Europa.. How would you like that for fate?::

MO_Natalia says:
::thinks she is going to written up for this one::

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
ACTION: The Europa's systems are being disconnected from the Starbase umbilical connects, and its systems are coming online under their own power.

Bartender says:
::lets the CNS have it::

CNS_K-Rash says:
::turns and heads out of the room::

RAdm_McDowell says:
::gets buzzed again... growls:: Edwards: I'll see you up in Ops later on. Must be going.

MO_Natalia says:
::puts in a call to the station to  have the med kit beamed over.. materializes on the floor::

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
::nods to Admiral Savek and gives the signal for the rechristening..::

XO_Zaldivar says:
::steps on to the bridge and takes a moment to savor the feeling:: FCO: Begin launch operations.

Admiral_Savek says:
::nods to the Adm Greska ::

CSO_Halsey says:
CNS: What do you think you are doing with that bottle honey?

TO_Chip says:
::Stands out of the way of the CTO but he stays close enough to observe what she is doing::

CNS_K-Rash says:
::pauses and opens the bottle downing the entire contents gulp by greedy gulp::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::he makes sure all systems are prepared fro departure::

MO_Natalia says:
*XO*: medical staff in ship's sickbay.. all set sir

CNS_K-Rash says:
CSO: Celebrating. We'd better get back to the ship

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
ALL: I give you the USS Europa, Bon Voyage

CTO_Ryan says:
::Notices the XO enter the Bridge::  XO: Weapons and shield systems online and ready for launch, Sir.

RAdm_McDowell says:
::grins as he walks away::

K`Tracht says:
~::lays down on his bed in his quarters, and goes to sleep..  his shift not due in another 8 hours::

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
::presses the firing button to launch the bottle::

XO_Zaldivar says:
<FCO> XO: Aye sir, all system green.

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::he looks over at the MO as he works::

CSO_Halsey says:
CNS: Yes, can you still walk after that bottle?

Admiral_Savek says:
::watches the bottle spin end over end at the ship ::

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
ACTION: The bottle drifts slowly towards the ship... tumbling and turning end over end... until it finally strikes the duranium hull, and shatters in the vacuum of the spacedock.

CNS_K-Rash says:
CSO: Of course! ::pounds him on the back:: Who are you again? ::Passes out::

MO_Natalia says:
::gives self a shot on detox while sitting on a bio-bed:: Self: why did I do that?

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
::claps::

CIV_Temblar_Jahra says:
::grabs her bag and follows the crowd::

Bartender says:
::thinks what a waste of good champagne::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::walks over to the MO:: MO: How are you feeling?

XO_Zaldivar says:
::stands in front of the command chairs:: CTO: Acknowledged

XO_Zaldivar says:
*MO*: thank you

CNS_K-Rash says:
::falls against her husband::

XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Take us out.

MO_Natalia says:
CMO: highly embarrassed sir.. but fine other wise thanks

Mr_Knote says:
::Looks at the bottle under Greska's arm wondering just what she is going to do with it.::

Host VAdmiral_Edwards says:
ACTION: The main doors of the Starbase creak open, and the Europa slowly emerges into the blackness of space... eager to engage on a new mission.

CSO_Halsey says:
::takes CNS in arms as he did in the honeymoon:: Computer, beam us directly to Europa's sickbay

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to take a look at the ships logs on the console behind her::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::chuckles:: MO: I don't think anyone noticed. ::smile::

CIV_Temblar_Jahra says:
::reaches in her bag and grabs her picture of her husband, Jalen::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Activates short range sensors as the Europa exits the SB::

MO_Natalia says:
CMO: you did.. ::stands up and walks to the med kit on the floor::

CNS_K-Rash says:
::Rematerializes in sick bay in her husband's arms::

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
::smiles as the Europa glides off like a swan::

TO_Chip says:
::Observes the CTO::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
::looks at the two who just beamed into sickbay:: Both: Can I help you?

Admiral_Savek says:
Greska : Remember those days ? ::Sighs::

MO_Natalia says:
CNS: counselor?

CNS_K-Rash says:
::lays there drunk, passed out and drooling::

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
Savek: Yes, and I suppose it would be illogical to wish them on us again?

MO_Natalia says:
::grabs the detox from the table and heads for the CNS::

CSO_Halsey says:
MO: She has drunk a little too much I am afraid

Mr_Knote says:
::Records the exact time the Europa was launched::

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
CSO: I see. Well that's fine. ::heads over to the CNS::

Host Admiral_Savek says:
Greska: perhaps, but to be that young again ...

CTO_Ryan says:
::Pulls out a PADD and records sensor logs::  *Security* Ryan to Security.  We have left the SB.

FleetAdmiral_Greska says:
::nods::

MO_Natalia says:
CMO: 25cc of Feinel?

CTO_Ryan says:
<Security> *CTO* Acknowledged.

CMO_Lt[jg]_Foley says:
MO: Sounds right.

MO_Natalia says:
CMO: sir I have to go.. I forgot something thing

CSO_Halsey says:
CMO/MO: Please take care of her. I have to go to the bridge

CSO_Halsey says:
