CO_Durron says:
::sitting in his ready room drinking coffee and working through paperwork::
CIV_Santoni says:
Nurse Antina: Thank you for bringing me up to speed. I'll go review some of the files you've sent me and settle in the CMO's office until one is appointed.
CSO_Halsey says:
::at his station on the bridge. Checking the last refit to the sensors::
FCO_Kami says:
::At his station, overlooking sensor readouts.::
CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: I can't believe this...they eliminated one of my laboratories for extra torpedo capacity.
CIV_Santoni says:
<Nurse>CIV: If you need anything, I'll be treating some patients.
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks back.:: FCO: Why that?
CIV_Santoni says:
::nods at the nurse as she enters the CMO's office::
FCO_Kami says:
<FCO = CSO>
CSO_Halsey says:
CSO: I don't know. Starfleet may think we got more things to shoot at than to learn from. I can't say I'm surprised. Most Starfleet officers prefer to think of themselves as space cowboys rather than explorers.
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the orders as they come in than nods:: Self: Lets find out what the dockworkers messed with.
CO_Durron says:
::stand and exits his ready room coffee in hand::
FCO_Kami says:
::Sighs.:: CSO: I'm more interested in exploring, myself.
CIV_Santoni says:
::looks around the CMO's office and finds it quite blend:: Self: It shows that they haven't had someone in here in a while...
CO_Durron says:
::looks around the bridge and slowly walks to the center chair.::
CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: You and me maybe. But the latest war attracted more barbarians than scientist to Starfleet academy.
CSO_Halsey says:
::nodes:: CO: Captain...
CO_Durron says:
::sits down than looks at the blank view screen::
CO_Durron says:
CSO: Commander.
FCO_Kami says:
CSO: Little boys wanting to play out their cowboys and indians fantasies....
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks back.:: CO: Oh, hello, Captain.
CO_Durron says:
FCO/CSO: We go where Starfleet sends us, and I'll warn you that an Admiral has accused me of being a cowboy diplomat so watch your footing there.  ::he smiles::  FCO: Is the ship ready to depart?
CIV_Santoni says:
::sits at the desk and puts down her padd with notes. Takes a deep breath and then activates the console in front of her::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Yes, sir.
Host Station_OPS says:
@COM: Europa: Europa, you have been cleared to secure mooring and proceed when you are ready.  Utopia Planitia out.
CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: I once read a interesting article on the Federation News Service channel. It was written by Capt. Sisko's son during the Kligon war. The boy witnessed the bravest marines crying during an assault on a planet. Those poor boys thought war was like the movies: everyone wins and nobody dies.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Very well, secure airlocks and moorings.
FCO_Kami says:
CSO: That's why I prefer to explore.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Does so.::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Take us out, thrusters only.  ::brings up the orders on his arm console.::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Slowly takes the ship away from the dock.
FCO_Kami says:
<::>
CIV_Santoni says:
::Checks on the status of the medical database::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Put us in a high orbit of Mars.  CSO: Run a sweep of the planet, see what kind of shape the dock left our sensors in.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Inputs the coordinates.::
CO_Durron says:
*CIV*: We are taking the ship out for a test run,  If you would like to watch you are welcome on the bridge, captain.
CSO_Halsey says:
CO: Aye. ::runs a general sensor sweeps and the pinpoints one specific location on Ibiza, España:: CO: Nice...I can see topless girls  on the beach. The resolution's been greatly enhanced.
CIV_Santoni says:
*CO*: Aye. I'll be right there.
CIV_Santoni says:
::turns off the console and exits the office::
CO_Durron says:
CSO: I hope we do not get in their sun...::smiles:: FCO: See if you can arrange a little shade for the ladies that the CSO is watching.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Moves towards the dark side of the planet.::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Continue this orbit around, and see if you can put us between the sun and Ibiza, España.
CIV_Santoni says:
Nurse Antina: I'll be on the bridge. ::as she exits sickbay and makes her way to the nearest TL::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Does so.::
CO_Durron says:
::sips his coffee and smiles at the humor:: CSO: Anyone notice us?
CIV_Santoni says:
TL: Bridge
CSO_Halsey says:
CO: I'm sorry but at this altitude we're no more that a tiny black spot and you'd have to look straight at the sun to notice us.
Host Adm_Brooks says:
@COM:Europa: USS Europa this is Starfleet Command, come in please.
CIV_Santoni says:
::steps off the TL and onto the bridge::
CSO_Halsey says:
CO: Starfleet Command is hailing, sir.
CIV_Santoni says:
::makes her way quietly in an empty chair somewhere on the bridge::
CO_Durron says:
CSO: On screen
CSO_Halsey says:
::puts it on screen::
Host Adm_Brooks says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Sorry to cut your little cruise short, but we have a problem here I'd like you to look into.
CO_Durron says:
COM: SFC: Brooks: What can we do for you Admiral?
Host Adm_Brooks says:
@COM: Europa: CO: A few days ago the SS Athens was sent out with some Medical research material headed to Starbase 385, we have lost contact with her.  Since you are soon to be headed that way, I'd like you to track  down the Athens and find out why they aren't responding to our hails.
