@Adm_Crenshaw: Good to see you. Been quite some time. Yes Good of you to come.

SO_Elack says:
@::Enters the hall::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
Norman: By all means yes!

CEO_Galagar says:
::really smiles at Chapu's answer:: XO: Well nice to meet you.... ::Pivots... and walks to mingle::

CTO_Asmodeius says:

Host Adm_Fraser says:
CO: Oh, and Frank... don't forget to introduce your XO to the crew.. Now isn't the best time, I realize that, but the sooner the better

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
::Watches them carefully::

SO_Elack says:
::walks over to the XO:: Hi. You must be our new executive officer. It's a shame that you had to come under such grim circumstances...oh, by the way, I'm Ensign Andzi Elack, Senior Science officer.

CO_Tucker says:
::Raises his voice:: ALL: Attention!

CEO_Galagar says:
::Comes to ATTN::

Host Adm_Bustum says:

CEO_Galagar says:
::Groans a little...came a little too sharply::

CO_Tucker says:
ALL: We have scheduled a brief ceremony to honor those who have recently received awards.  This time, we are honored to have Admirals Fraser, Crenshaw, and Bustum to present them.

Host Adm_Bustum says:
::turns towards Adm_Crenshaw:: Crenshaw: Bill have you seen the list here?

CO_Tucker says:
Adm_Fraser: I hand things over to you sir.

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
<W> Bustum: Which list would that be?

::Claps::

::Shakes each of their hands in turn::

Host Adm_Bustum says:

::Claps for the officers even though she didn't know the details of what they did::

SO_Elack says:
::claps::

CMO_Immolisius says:
::Looks at the medal... and closes his eyes slightly... he tears up slightly... Pulling the Medal off he looks up and in a slight monotone:: CO: There is no valor in letting a friend die. ::Drops the Medal and turns around::

EO_Chapu says:
:: returns the handshake to the captain ::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Returns to his chair::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
Crenshaw: Bill.. you first please

Host Adm_Fraser says:
::makes note to talk to the CMO::

Host Adm_Fraser says:
Crenshaw: Go ahead Admiral

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
::Nods and steps up to the podium::

CMO_Immolisius says:
@::Enters the Geneva and returns to sickbay::

EO_Chapu says:
:: wonders what Adm. Crenshaw is going to say ::

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
ALL: I know it's never easy losing an officer... a fellow crewmate... a friend, in battle. I've lost friends in the past, and it still saddens me that now, even after all we've gone through... all we've learned that death remains a chance for every Starfleet officer. ::Looks down, then up again::

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
ALL: I believe that is the ultimate price of the final frontier.

CMO_Immolisius says:
@::Enter sickbay he enters his office and sits...  He lowers his head into his palms::

XO_Eden says:
::Thinks about how the Geneva lost her predecessor and how they lost her?  How horrible... I wonder who she was, what she was like, and why I didn't hear more about it...::

EO_Chapu says:
:: wipes his eyes ::

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
::Gestures at them:: ALL: You all are on the front lines of exploration...  The Geneva, like every ship out there amongst the stars, is filled with heroes. And no, I am not intending to flatter you all ... I'm intending to express a point. Command, the Federation Council, everyone including your loved ones that you leave behind, are PROUD of you.

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
ALL: For what you have done ... and what you will do. For what you have found and shown us. For the paths that you have laid, and the journeys that you have begun and taken ...

Host Adm_Crenshaw says:
::Nods:: ALL: Keep on traveling my friends. ::Turns and gestures for Bustum or Fraser to take his place::

Host Adm_Fraser says:
::steps forward::  All: Ladies and gentlemen...    this is a proud and honorable day for all of you and for all of us.....

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: You all knew the risks involved with Starfleet, yet you all came.... and we've all been there.....

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: When we lose one of our own, it is still tough... but we get through it.... somehow....

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: And these medals... they're just medals... but they mean more than that... ::thinking of the CMO::  they are bigger than that..... They are bigger than any one individual...

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: And they represent that which is outstanding in all of us...... even if the individual doesn't feel he or she deserves the honor... the honor isn't just for them, it is for all of us... as a reminder of those who have gone out before us... and for those of us who will follow...

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: I hope you will all honor those others, and wear your medal with honor... and with respect... ::again, thinking of the Doctor::.... and go out again.. to seek out and learn and do what needs to be done

Host Adm_Fraser says:
::turns to Bustum:: Adm: Admiral.. Anything you'd like to add?

Host Adm_Bustum says:
:: Steps up to the podium acknowledging his fellow Admirals and Capt. Tucker::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
All: You have all paid the price to lead. Sadly but truly it is a hard price to pay.

EO_Chapu says:
:: listens attentively to the Admirals ::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
ALL: However if there is to be any consolation, it is this...

FCO_Sarlek says:
:: thinks about fiddling with his uniform, but decides not to ::

CMO_Immolisius says:
@::Composes himself and just sits at his desk alone in sickbay, with pure frustration he moves his hand across his desk knocking the items all over the floor including several PADDs he lays his arms and face on the desk and just stays still::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Wonders if the Admiral will let them go at ease anytime soon...::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
ALL: You have come through it. And now must overcome your personal loss  and redirect that energy into positive action.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Smiles at Bustum's comment...true enough...::

Host Adm_Bustum says:
ALL: Difficult.. yes. Impossible…. Not for an officer of Starfleet. You are that and much, much more. :: Leaves the podium head bent in respect for the crew of Geneva::

Host Adm_Fraser says:
::looks over to Tucker.....::  <W>CO: Frank.. we need to move this along or he'll talk all night, once he gets on a roll... you need to introduce the new XO before this group goes to sleep

EO_Chapu says:
:: hopes that the assembly is almost done ::

XO_Eden says:
::Watches the Admiral leave the podium::

CO_Tucker says:
::Steps back up to the Podium::  ALL:  I have just received orders pertaining to our new First Officer, Cmdr. Eden.  Commander, if you could step up here please.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Glances over at the XO::

XO_Eden says:
::Walks up to the Captain a little nervous...::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Diana flashes into his mind...begins to clap::

CO_Tucker says:
::Motions to the XO:: XO: Commander, if you have a few words?

CEO_Galagar says:
::Stops clapping::

XO_Eden says:
::Nods at the Captain and turns to the crew::

EO_Chapu says:
:: The new XO kind of reminds him of her predecessor

CO_Tucker says:
::Notice the new XO looks uncomfortable... feels good about that::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Tries to give the XO a warm smile...and a nod to get her talking::

XO_Eden says:
All: It is my honor to be assigned to a ship that bears the reputation of the USS Geneva.  I have no doubt in this crew, and I will try to live up to Commander Tran to the best of my ability.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Frowns at her comment about Tran...nobody could live up to Tran::

EO_Chapu says:
:: looks at Lt. Galagar and notices his frown ::

XO_Eden says:
::Takes a sweeping look across the crew and steps back::

CO_Tucker says:
ALL: Enjoy your shore leave.  Dismissed!

CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Gets up and leaves his medal lying on the table where he put it and heads back to the Geneva and his duty Station::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Takes off the medal...places it on a PADD...and transports it into space::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Walks out the hall::

EO_Chapu says:
:: gets up and looks at his medal as he walks to the Geneva  ::

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: and I'm sure the crew will get to know you Commander Eden.... but for now... I think everyone is about ready to get out of here....  Geneva Crew..   Take 48 hours and then get under way to the Science Station... I'm sure they're anxiously awaiting those artifacts...

EO_Chapu says:
:: He starts to think ::

Host Adm_Fraser says:
All: Dismissed...
