Last time on the USS Pendragon...

Host Coot says:
The Captain crossed paths with the Gothric and was rescued by the crew after a harrowing leap of faith.

Host Coot says:
Starfleet Intel has been buzzing around the station, but no one has yet to talk with the Crew.

Host Coot says:
Rumors of the Pontifex popping up in the sector are rampant and the mysterious whereabouts as to Captains Kyrron and Rofax remains unanswered.

Host Coot says:
What lies in store for the USS Pendragon?  Only the Prophets know....

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Steps into Sickbay with a cup of coffee in her hand. She enjoyed the time off that had been granted:: Combs: Good morning, Doctor. How are you doing?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in his quarters::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in his ready room... finishes reviewing the latest personnel transfers ::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::On the bridge at engineering::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks up from the console she is working at:: CMO: I'm doing quite well, Doctor.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::on the station doing some last-minute shopping::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: now for an unpleasant duty... hits the comm button ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::she takes a sip of her coffee:: Combs: That is good to hear, Piper. I take it we haven't had any over night stays?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps out of the sonic shower::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CNS*: Thraxis to Commander Luchena. Please report to my ready room.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Gamma Shift reported nothing. They were pretty bored.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: An arriving Starfleet Command Transport is announced over station comms for all to hear.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  On my way.  ::hastily finishes dressing::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::chuckles a bit:: Combs: I would rather them be bored then having a Sickbay full of what we encountered earlier.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::monitors the routine systems::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::continues browsing the stores, not sure of what she wants to buy::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: I agree 100% sir! I'm glad that is all over with.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Computer: Computer, display service record of Commander Mikal Luchena.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::begins to consider what the Captain wants him for as he leaves his quarters and heads to a turbolift::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: As I am, Piper, as am I. ::she takes another sip of her coffee:: Combs: I will be in my office. I want to look over a few things before we leave, whenever that may be.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Of course, Doctor.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::sees an outfit she just must have ... goes inside to barter on a price::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the Turbo Lift and begins preparing his defenses::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: reads the info on the screen ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: For those on the Station, there is quite a bit of bustling on the main concourse.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She walks toward her office and steps through the door. After a few seconds she takes a seat behind her desk and begins to access all of the medical files that are in need of transfer to Starfleet Medical and those that were transferred to the Pendragon::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::After a moment she taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Sickbay to Lieutenant Damien.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::exits onto the bridge.  Notices the CEO::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: watching the bustling from a table at a cafe, coffee in hand::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at the CEO as he crosses the bridge::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::agrees on a price, buys the item then leaves the shop.  Continues to browse the shops::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::nods in return::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CMO*: Damien here

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::reminisces about Jose and himself running the bridge during the last mission::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::grins as he rings the RR chime::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::catches a glimpse of someone familiar and turns back for a second look::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CEO*: Would you please report to Sickbay, Lieutenant? Your routine physical is in need of completion per Starfleet Medical's orders.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks up ::  Door:  Come.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::sighs:: *CMO*: Does it have to be now?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CEO*: It does, Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CMO*: On my way. CNS: You know, if you really needed me I could forget my physical

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::still grinning::  CEO:  I'll call if I need you.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::takes another look at the man drinking coffee ... doesn't believe her eyes:: Shiar:  Kaleh?

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: knows the Pen is docked so is hoping one or two of his old friends is around::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::leaves the bridge for sickbay:: CNS: Being needed now would be more helpful. When I'm alone with her she hurts me. Just so you know. ::exits::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::stands up from behind her desk and steps back into Main Sickbay:: Barns: Janice, I'm going to need Biobed One free in order to conduct a physical. Are you done with your work there?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
%::sitting on the small seat of the transport hoping it would hurry up and reach the Pendragon::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the RR still grinning::  CO:  You wanted to see me, Captain?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> CMO: Just finished, Doctor. It is all yours. ::she smiles and steps away::

Host Adm_Omeca says:
% ::walks through the docking ring and onto the main concourse, headed for Station OPS.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: My sister is going to kill me if I don't get there soon as she has been reassigned to another ship.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: smiles :: CNS: Yes, Mikal. Please, sit down.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Barns: Thanks. ::smiles as she begins to set up the supplies needed::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits and looks at the CO::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: looks at the woman speaking to him:: OPS: Jordan! great to see you again, why don't you join me?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::enters sickbay with mixed emotions, mostly between dread and horror:: CMO: Lt Damien, reporting as ordered

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: indicates the empty seat at the table::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  Thanks, I will.  How have you been?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::sits in the indicated seat::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::turns toward the Chief Engineer:: CEO: Welcome, Lieutenant. ::she smiles and motions to Biobed One:: CEO: Please have a seat.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS:  I've been good, you?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: folds his hands in front of him ::  CNS: We need to discuss your actions while you were in command of the Pen, after I'd been abducted. Understand that, as my friend, I am grateful that you took the initiative to come after me. But there is the matter of chain of command.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  I'm great!

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::sits:: CMO: Is this going to hurt?

Host Adm_Omeca says:
ACTION: The CIV's transport has arrived.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the CO quizzically::  CO:  You had been abducted Sir.  As senior officer on the ship, I assumed command.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  Still the OPS Officer on the Pendragon.  What have you been doing?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: I know. The record shows that you were informed of my order that the Pen remain at the station. Do you confirm this?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I had no way to confirm the order, so I followed regular protocols, Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders what the CO is trying to get at::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Now, why would I hurt you? ::she takes out her medical tricorder and begins some basic scans:: CEO: Trust me, Lieutenant, I'm here to help.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: But you were informed, Mikal. Please don't play semantic games with me.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: diplomatic work mostly.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: I'd like to hear your rationale for disregarding my orders and leaving the station.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: Owe! What was that?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
%Self: Thank god we have docked.  Need to get out of here and onto the promenade and find Rianna.  ::Picks up his bags and summons WindFire to his shoulder and the hawk  immediately hops to his shoulder::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar.  Sounds like fun.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks puzzled::  CO:  You were abducted.  We had no way of knowing if any communications from you were genuine.  As senior officer on the Ship... etc.

Host Adm_Omeca says:
ACTION: A waiter stops near Shiar and OPS clearing up a table... perhaps a bit too close.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::her eyes have a hint of humor in them:: CEO: Come on Jose, may I call you Jose? ::makes a few notes and then picks up a small tool::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: it's not like being back on the ship but it has its moments  :: notices the waiter but thinks nothing of it::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  You know I'm married now.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: getting a tad irritated now ::   CNS: Mikal, are you aware of any way in which a telepathic communication between myself and my wife could be counterfeited?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: Sure. You can call me Jose. Hey - what is that thing for?::motions at the tool::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::walks onto the stations promenade and heads for the ops deck::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: I heard, was hoping it was just a rumour though  :: flashes a warm smile at her (as warm as a Romulan smile can be anyway)::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands::  CO:  Last time I checked telepathic communication is not an approved Starfleet protocol.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Then you may call me Ashley. ::she takes it and bumps his knee:: CEO: Reflex testing.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::walks into station ops and finds out that Rianna's shuttle has left over an hour ago and is he mad::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::damn near kicks the CMO with the reflex:: CMO: Kind of crude isn't it. Ashley...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gestures to the chair ::  CNS: Please sit, Mikal. I have no wish to make this difficult. But as CO of this ship, I have to know what my direct reports will do in crisis situations. And frankly, your actions in this case puzzle me. Will you help me understand, please?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  A lot has changed, Kaleh.  Including me.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: I hope life onboard hasn't been too unbearable for you all without me  :: quickly moving on before things get too messy::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I used my best judgment and Starfleet protocol as a guide.  If the situation were to recur, I would do exactly the same thing.  Sir.  ::sits back down::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::steps back a bit with a larger smile on her face:: CEO: Well you pass there. ::she makes a few more notes:: CEO: Now please, lay down.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::spins around and leaves the starbase operations center quite angrily and heads for the Pendragon to report onboard::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::grins:: Shiar:  No, it hasn't.  But that doesn't mean I haven't missed your company.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::lays down:: CMO: You know, I heard a rumor once, that a long time ago, when you needed surgery, that had to Cut you with a knife. Is that true?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  And our shore leaves haven't seemed to change, either.  We still get into trouble wherever we go. ::grins::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: smiles again:: OPS: I’m just glad you remember me

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: I understand that it was a difficult situation, Mikal. But I am having difficulty believing that a full telepath such as yourself would have doubts about a telepathic communication between husband and wife.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: That's good to hear, I think

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You ... yourself... refused to accept telepathic "evidence" that Dr. Combs was a potential danger to the ship.  I was exercising the same caution.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::wonders why the waiter is so close but doesn't make an issue out of it::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Where did you hear a rumor like that? ::presses several buttons as the black arch moves over Jose::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::Laughs::  Shiar:  You should come back with me to visit.  I know Mikal would like it.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: It was at the academy. Some of the doctors there were talking about ancient techniques

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::walks down the airlock walk way and nods to the security officer and continues on to the Pendragon::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Not quite the same thing, Mikal. I was unwilling to endanger a good officer's career solely  on the basis of such evidence. Here, I am concerned that -- regardless of the mode of communication -- I will be unable to trust that you will carry out my orders. That's a bad place for both of us to be in.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: I would like that. I'm not needed here for a while anyway

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::she smiles:: CEO: Luckily, we have come a long way from the standard knife. However, it is true that it was practiced and many physicians today are trained in using them. ::activates the arch and watches a diagram of the CEO appear on a large screen::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  Then let's go.  I'd like you to meet Albaron.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Computer: This is Lt. Mark Josana Rochelle reporting in for duty what are my quarters assignment?

Host Adm_Omeca says:
<CPU> CIV: Deck 3, Section 14-J.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: Albaron?  :: stands and indicates for Jordan to lead the way::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: I need to know why you left the station despite my orders to the contrary. I'm not saying it was wrong to do so... but I have to understand everything that led to your decision. Doubts about the order being genuine aren't enough.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Telepathy is not a Starfleet approved method of communication.  Under the same circumstances I would do the same thing.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  Captain Thraxis.  My husband.  I know you'll like him.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: I'm hoping that  I never need surgery. At least not the stabbing and cutting kind. I hate pain.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: I'm sure I will.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Well, during surgery you are put to sleep, you would only feel the pain afterwards. Of course, now we can even minimize those feelings. ::she makes a few more notes::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::gets up from the table::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: shakes head ::  CNS: We're going in circles, Mikal. I understand that you doubted the order. Time to move on from there. Even with those doubts, you had an order that  as far as you knew came from your Captain, and you decided to disregard it. Please help me understand why.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: So how does everything look so far? Good?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Because I had received no order from my Captain.  ::is getting angry::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Would you like the good news or the bad news first? ::looks rather serious after a moment::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: There's bad news?

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: almost goes to put an arm around her but decides against it ::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@~~~ Mikal:  I have a surprise for you, Mikal. ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::she only nods::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: Well? What is it?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Calm down, please, Mikal. I am trying to find a good reason not to enter a reprimand in your record. You're not helping me much.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: The good news is that you are in perfect health. ::she pauses for a moment as she looks over the data::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CMO: And what’s the bad?

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@:: heading towards the Pen::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  Whatever do you see in this man?~~~ ::is palpably angry::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Let me ask the question another way. Why did you decide to leave the station unguarded and come after me?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: That you are now released from my care. ::smiles as she presses a few buttons to bring the arch down from the biobed::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::gets a surprised look on her face as she walks along::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: What is it?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::proceeds to deck 3 section 14-J::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::sits up:: CMO: Well that wasn't so bad. I take it you're going to miss me?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath::  CO:  We were maintaining a patrol of the station, but keeping the shuttle in sensor range.  When we detected potential trouble, we moved.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Shiar:  Nothing.  Did you know I'm telepathic?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: I will miss you dearly. ::she winks::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: You detected 'potential trouble'? Elaborate, please.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::arrives at the airlock and enters the Pen.  Waits for Shiar to join her::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::blushes:: CMO: Well. I'm sure. I'm sure we'll have occasion to see each other again.::grins::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: This is nice on deck 3 for a change.  ::opens the doors to his quarters and WildFire flies in first as he always does and Mark walks in after him::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
@OPS: I thought that was just temporary :: follows Jordan onto the Pen::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CEO: I hope we do Jose. Don't be a stranger.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
<Change Wild fire to Wind Fire >

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  The sensors indicated some difficulties on the freighter.  I'd have to retrieve the logs to be more specific, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  So did I.  But events made it otherwise.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::hops to his feet:: CMO: I won't. :;smiles and exits::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::vaguely senses a familiar presence::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> CMO: He seemed rather friendly. ::smiles as she walks by Ashley::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::begins to put is things in order and pulls out a pic of the family that includes all the redtailed hawks raised, trained and still alive along with his parents and both his sisters::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets a faraway look on his face::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Okay. That'll do for purposes of this discussion. What I need to understand is this... what was your reasoning in leaving the station -- and its many hundreds of inhabitants -- unguarded to come after one man?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::meanders down to main engineering, with nothing unpleasant on his mind, kind of happy::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Barns: After his physical. ::giggles a bit as she walks over to the main medical console and inputs the data::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::snaps::  CO:  I was coming after Jordan.  I was protecting your wife.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
OPS: and how is that for you? you managing to control it ok?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  I had some help.  But yes I'm managing it.  I am comfortable with "hearing" the ship now.  I'd miss it if I lost the ability.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::WindFire flies to Marks shoulder and plays with his ear for attention::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks up a bit as she feels a strange surge in emotion but she shakes it off; it was not her place to get into that game again::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
OPS: I suppose you would.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  Come on, I'll buy you a drink.  The Cave is still where we left it

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
WindFire: I don't think it would be wise to go to the bridge just yet.  No one on the ship is aware of your presence.  I will have to clear it with the captain and the executive officer.  I don't think they even know from where we are coming from and why.  ::smiles and pets the female birds head::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::does sense some strong feelings on the ship but shakes them off::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
OPS: looks like my latest attempt to go tea total will have lasted less than a day

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::once the information was downloaded she sends it to Starfleet Medical and then moves back into her office:: Self: Who is next?

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
:: heads towards The Cave with Jordan::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  You don't drink?  Sorry I didn't know ....

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::takes a seat in his office and daydreams, as nothing of note is happening while they are docked::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is seething::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
OPS: not since last night I haven't.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  Then non-alcoholic it is ... ::enters the Cave::

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
OPS: don't worry about though

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
:: also enters the Cave::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Mikal, please try to understand my position. Regulations require that I submit a report on this, including your actions. I do not want your record to include a reprimand as a result of what you did. I am very grateful that you moved to protect Jordan. But as a Starfleet Captain, I am responsible for the actions of my crew. And I have to be able to say that I understand what you did.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wishes with all his black little heart that Rofax were still CO::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::takes a seat behind her desk and picks up her cup of coffee and takes another sip from it:: Self: Mikal is busy... and it seems Jordan is as well. I suppose theirs will have to wait for a bit.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  Our old usual spot?  ::indicates the bar::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands up abruptly, knocking the chair to the floor::  CO:  You have  no grounds to reprimand me.  Do so and I will appeal.  ::heads toward the door::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::thinks that while the CMO is pretty, her assistant is the better looking of the two::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands ::  CNS: Don't leave this room, Mikal.That's an order.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
:: laughs:: OPS: of course. I wonder if the bar staff remember me...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops in his tracks but does not turn around::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::chuckles:: Shiar:  I have no idea, but let's find out

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries desperately to master his temper::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  OPS to Captain Thraxis.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
:: sits at the bar:: OPS: Irish coffee doesn't count as alcoholic does it?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  Not as far as I am concerned ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: I thought I had made it clear that a reprimand is what I am trying to avoid here. My report will have to include the fact that I passed an order to stay with the station. The station itself recorded the Pen's departure. I have to have some way of reconciling those facts. I want very much to do it without any repercussions to your career.

LtCmdr_Shiar says:
:: laughs again:: OPS: didn't think so

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Shiar:  I'll have one too ... ::motions to the barkeep and orders two Irish coffees::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::heads for the TL to the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: You know I like you, Mikal. I consider you a good friend. But that won't count for beans when Starfleet reviews this incident. My report, and my actions after the fact, have to be bulletproof.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::commands the TL to the bridge::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  In my judgment, and it was confirmed by another officer, the station's defenses were adequate to deal with a dubious threat.  We were in patrol and would have detected any incoming threat.  :;whirls around violently:  If you weren't such a control freak, you'd acknowledge that the ship was under MY command at the time.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: I hope it is all of what Rianna told me about.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::she takes another sip of her coffee as she reads over the reports:: Self: The joys of being a department head... paper work. ::smiles to herself as she makes a few more notes::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Heard> ::monitoring power distribution and comms channels ... all routine::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::stepping out of the TL and onto the bridge and sees the ops officer and walks up to her:: OPS: Lt Mark Josana Rochelle reporting for duty sir.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::fingers on his Comm badge, wondering how he can get back into sickbay, and to the Doctors assistant::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: as unthreateningly as possible :: CNS: I know it was, Mikal. But the hard fact is that you were and still are under my command. I have responsibilities both upward and downward. One of those responsibilities is to see that my crew doesn't get put through the shredder when they were doing the best they could under the circumstances.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
(OPS_Heard>  CIV:  Welcome aboard, Lt.  The Captain is busy as the moment.  Consider yourself reported in.  Take your station

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  How dare you!  ::approaches the desk menacingly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: How dare I what?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Insult my capabilities as an officer!  ::leans across the desk and glares at the CO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Mikal, I truly do not understand your attitude here. 

Host Adm_Omeca says:
