Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The crew encountered the presence of their former Captain, 200 years into the future. A twisted version of his former self, Rofax had become integrated with machine and microchip. This abomination trailed the Pendragon back into its proper time, only to be destroyed at its own request.

Host Coot says:
SFC has made no comment on the issue although the Pendragon has been docked at SB14 for nearly two weeks. The questions unanswered haunt the crew as well as the prospect that Rofax is still out there, in this timeline, waiting.

Host Coot says:

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The crew is enjoying shore leave as best they can, awaiting further orders from SFC.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::is not successful::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She sets the holonovel down and moved over to the Replicator to recycle her glass::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<Tria_Kyrron>XO:  You'd better be right this time, Counselor.  ::gets to her feet and quickly leaves the Rusty Nail::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@::groans out of boredom, and plops down on his mini-couch::

@ ACTION: The chime to the TO's quarters sounds.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: looks up :: *CMO*: Go ahead, Doctor.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*CO*: Out of curiosity, have we heard anything from Starfleet Command yet, Captain?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::looks at her kits lovingly::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::pauses::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<Tria_Kyrron>:: nods at the CIV as she hurries by::

@:: looks up at the door in surprise :: Who is it?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::senses David nearby::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
Kyrron: Good Day Admiral....  ::smiles half heartedly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ *CMO*: Not a word. They also serve whom only stand and wait, I suppose.

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> TO: Lt. Smith, sir. I have something for you.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@Smith: Enter.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She shakes her head:: *CO*: Understood. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I don't like the waiting game much.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<Tria Kyrron>  ::pauses::  CIV:  Back down to Captain, once again.  ::smiles grimly and hurries on her way::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@Servek: They are cute aren’t' they.

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> ::enters::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands and walks toward the door::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> FCO: They are felines, Lieutenant. They are in acceptable health for the time being.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@Smith: What is it?

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::shrugs an incredulous shrug and keeps walking::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Lt Smith is dressed plainly in black civilian clothing, holding a padd.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps out::  ~~~CIV:  David.~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@::holds out his hand for the PADD::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::does not hear::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ *CMO*: Nor I... but it's part of being in the service.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::watches the goings on around her::

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> ::holds up the padd:: TO: It would appear someone has got wind of what happened.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*CO*: Unfortunately... ::she sighs:: *CO*: Well I'll let you go, Captain. Please let me know when we are told... anything.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@::takes the PADD and reads over it::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::looks at Servek and then back at her kits::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ *CMO*: Absolutely, Doctor. Thraxis out.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@Smith: It seems so.. what do you think of it?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She exits her Quarters and makes her way toward a Turbo Lift::

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> TO: That is not for me to decide, but you are advised to share this with no one.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hurries to catch up to the CIV::  CIV:  David.  Wait for me.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> FCO: Have you decided on names for all of them, Lieutenant?

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks back and pauses::  XO: Oh...  Hey....  

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@Smith: Including Captain Thraxis?

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> TO: Once again, that is not for me to decide, but you are advised to share this with no one.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::catches up and throws his arm around the CIV's shoulders::  CIV:  How are you?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@Smith: Fine. ::shakes his head:: Thank you. Anything else?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She reaches the Turbo Lift and orders it to the proper deck::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::hugs the XO::  XO: Been better...

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: One of the kittens sneaks off the bio-bed and slips out of Sickbay before anyone can take notice.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She exits the Turbo Lift and makes her way down the corridor toward one of the Holodecks::

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> TO: Afraid not. Best of luck, Lt.  We'll be watching you.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::looks back at her kits and is missing one::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::Screaming:: Servek: ONE of my kits is gone find it.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@Smith. All right.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Still nothing coming through?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The escapee manages to find her way into the TL and winds up in Main Engineering,

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@Computer: Activate program Yates B-H 2. ::Once the Computer activates the program, she takes a step inside, taking in the lovely beach air::

Host Coot says:
@ <Lt_Smith> ::turns to exit and says nothing more::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::continues walking::  XO: Not a damn thing....   And when I try hard...  I just get a headache.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::looks down and sees a kitten::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> FCO: Which is why she should have been confined as I requested. ::She taps her Combadge:: *Bridge*: Sickbay to Bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@Kitten: Well, what are you doing here? ::Picks up the kitten::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets into step with the CIV::  CIV:  Do you still have hope it will return?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The escapee finds her way into the CEO's office, tugs down an old shirt from the back of the CEO's chair, and curls up into a ball right in the middle of it.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@::watches Smith exit, before looking at the PADD again:: Self: Well, this will be interesting. ::burns the contents of the PADD into his mind, before deleting the data and setting it down::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She takes off her robe and moves into the ocean, enjoying the feeling of the water::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: Just left the SB medical bay...   My creatin levels are back to normal...   Therefore, my mind should be back to normal...    The silence, where once blissful for a time, is missed.  

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::pets the kitten:: Kitten: I didn't need that old shirt.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: As for my hope...    The only thing that keeps crossing my thoughts at this point is the fact that my career as I have known it may very well be over if this thing doesn't correct itself.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> Computer: Scan for any Caitian life signs outside of Sickbay.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Give it more time.

Host Coot says:
@ <kitten> ::begins purring like a motorboat::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::concerned::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::picks up the kitten and cuddles with it::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ <aFCO Van Allen> *Servek*: Bridge, Lt. Van Allen here. How can I help you, Doctor?

Host Coot says:
@ <CPU> MO: One Caitian life sign located in the CEO's quarters.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@::exits his quarters, to take a walk, while thinking guardedly::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::stops and looks at the XO dead in the eye::  XO: Mikal...  It's been TWO months!   TWO DAMN Months!!!!   What am I supposed to do if this doesn't fix itself?  

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *aFCO*: Your assistance is no longer needed. Sickbay out. ::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Sickbay to Lieutenant Commander Damien.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Develop another talent or retire.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@*Servek*: I'm here

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She wades around in the water, knowing she will not be able to do this for a while::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::continues walking::  XO: Easy for you to say...    

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *CEO*: Commander, it seems that a young feline has been detected within your area. Have you found this creature?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@*Servek*: I sure have. She's right here with me.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  David. ::moves in front and stops him::  Retire with me to Betazed.  I have a house by the sea.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::suddenly pauses and grabs the back of his head::  Outloud: Oh My........   

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *CEO*: Would you mind returning her to Sickbay, Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@*Servek*: Why? I think I want to keep her. She likes it here

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  What's wrong.  ::alarmed::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She moves underneath the water and then comes back up:: Self: Such a lovely program.

Host Coot says:
@ <kitten> ::purring right along, nuzzles into the CEO's arms::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: Take me to the infirmary...   now...    ::clutching head::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Servek: Have you found her?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *CEO*: She is the property of a Starfleet Officer, Commander. Return her to Sickbay, Commander. That is not a request.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts an arm around the CIV, supporting him::  *CMO*:  Medical emergency.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@Kitten: Awe. I think I'll name you....Ashley!

Host Coot says:
@ <kitten> ::purring affectionately and - could it be? - smiles::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She looks up as a comm comes through the Holodeck:: *XO*: What's going on, Commander? Computer: End program. ::She picks up her robe and puts it on::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Incoming comm, high priority, addressed to the Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  It's David DeRidder.  He's in pain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@*Servek*: It's not my fault she can't keep track of her kittens. She obviously wants to stay with me. Her name is Ashley.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: turns to his comm unit :: CPU: Open channel.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *CEO*: You have 5 minutes, Commander, or I shall contact Security. Sickbay out.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::struggling to walk with the XO, weakened by the intense pain::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::finishes her coffee .. gets up and heads back for the Pendragon::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A stuffy looking Admiral appears on screen, clearly unhappy.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Hang on.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::holds the little kitten close:: Kitten: Don't worry Ashley, we'll get this straightened out. ::leaves for sickbay::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*XO*: Understood, Commander. I'll have you both transported to Sickbay in a moment. ::She taps her Combadge:: *SB_OPS*: Commander Yates to Starbase 14 Operations. Please transport Lieutenant David DeRidder and Commander Mikal Luchena to the USS Pendragon's Sickbay. ::She makes her way to Sickbay quickly::

Host Coot says:
@ <Adm_Hardy> CO: Captain, good day. I am Admiral Hardy and I have orders for you.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: I am...  It just hurts!!!   

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Another moment.  ::worried::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Hardy: Yes, sir?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*Servek*: Yates to Servek. Lieutenant, prepare to receive Lieutenant DeRidder. It seems there is a medical emergency. I will be there in a moment. ::She enters the Turbo Lift, not liking being out of uniform but having to go on duty::

Host Coot says:
@ <Adm_Hardy> CO: You are to relieve Cmdr Luchena of office and confine him to quarters immediately. A military tribunal will commence in three days time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::Arrives in sickbay with Ashley:: Servek: Well here we are.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: furrows brow :: Hardy: May I ask what charges are being brought against Commander Luchena?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *CMO*: Understood, Doctor.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<SB_OPS> ::transports the CIV and XO to the Pendragon::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@::sees her kit:: CEO: Bring my baby to me please.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She enters Sickbay and looks around:: Servek: They still haven't been transported?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::arrives at the docking port and enters the Pendragon::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> CMO: That is correct, Doctor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@FCO: I have Ashley. She wants to stay with me. ::hands the kitten to Rochelle:: She likes me.

Host Coot says:
@ <Adm_Hardy> CO: For one, violation of the temporal prime directive. Secondly, destroying a defenseless vessel.... I see no reason to continue. Now, confirm your orders, Captain.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The CIV and XO are transported to Sickbay.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@CEO: Well I have to think about it.  They are my babies still.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::materializes in sickbay with the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::orients himself::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She moves toward Biobed 3 and pulls out a Tricorder:: XO: What happened?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
@::finds himself on the bridge suddenly, and looks around. Moves in front of his console, and stares at it, contemplating all that he has done, standing there::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: coldly ::  @ Hardy: I understand the order, sir. Will there be anything else?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::best puppy dog smile:: @FCO Please? We've grown quite attached, I even named her. Ashley.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@CEO: They can't be removed yet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@FCO: How soon can I have her?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: You may advise Cmdr Luchena of the orders and find a suitable replacement until this matter is resolved. Cmdr Luchena will receive a formal copy of the charges by 1700 hours. That is all.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She pulls out a hypospray and injects the CIV with it, in order to numb his brain in a sense::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
@CEO: That is if I decide to give them away.  Remember I am a mother and they are not pets but my children.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
@::begins to feel a small amount of relief - enough to speak::  CMO: Thank you...    It just...    came out of the blue.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::looks sad:: FCO: I always wanted children....::pets Ashley::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: breaks the connection without a word .. sits, fumes for a moment ::  @ CPU: Computer, locate Commander Luchena.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps back and allows the CMO to work::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: Does this happen often?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::realizes this is the closest he's been to the CMO since it happened.  Backs way up::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
CMO: No...   Since I've been without my telepathic ability, I tend to get them when I try to reconnect...    But....   ::grasps back of head::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::heads for the bridge ... has nothing else to do right now::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: Only time will tell.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CO: Cmdr Luchena is currently in Sickbay.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: It could be a result of your telepathy resurfacing after the hypo given to you during the mental invasion. Due to the extent of your abilities, I would suggest that you perhaps take small doses until your telepathy can function fully again...

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO : You can come and visit them if you wish but keep in mind they are my children.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices she's wearing a bathrobe::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: leaves the ready room and goes to the turbolift on the Bridge ::  CPU: Sickbay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: How much time? ::continues petting Ashley::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She moves toward the FCO and CEO:: CEO: Your haste is greatly appreciated, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if it's real silk.  Resists the urge to touch it, but just barely::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: I don't know they still have underdeveloped systems yet.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::watches as the Captain walks by... jostles with his decision on whether or not to tell him::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Servek: Not a problem. How much longer will Ashley have to be here?

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
CMO: So that thing works for two months.....   

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: exits on Deck 7, finds, Sickbay :: 

Host Coot says:
@ <kitten> ::purring right along, doesn't seem to be very interested in leaving the CEO's arms::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She drops the hypospray in her hand and tries her best to catch it::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps forward::  CIV:  It's good news David.  Your telepathy may be coming back.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head, making a mental note to dry her hands next time:: CIV: It seems to work for a long time, yes. It is like coming off of an addiction in a sense, but in not so many words.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: All the telepaths in the immediate area of the CO feel a jolt of guilt. From who is uncertain.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: joins the group around DeRidder :: CIV: Lieutenant, are you all right?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::hands go to head::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
CMO: After one shot...    Why didn't the SB infirmary tell me that? 

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks to the Captain::  CO: I wish I knew.... 

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes the CIV's hand and pats it reassuringly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: Because they do not always do what they should. ::She turns to the CO:: CO: He will be fine, Captain. Do you need help with anything?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CEO: For another few weeks at most, Commander.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
All: I'd still love to know how a computer is able to project telepathically.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Servek: Something is wrong

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: I need to borrow your office for a moment, Doctor.  XO: Mikal, we need to talk.  :: heads toward Yates' office ::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
All: Had I known that...    ::grasps head again::  All: Damn!.....

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Servek: Then I can take her home? As long as the FCO doesn't mind?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: Be my guest, Captain. ::She motions to her office, wondering who is feeling a bit guilty and what about::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: No leave my baby with me.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CEO: It seems Lieutenant Rochelle has answered that question, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: Here she is. She keeps wanting to climb on me

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::follows the CO, glancing back at the CIV anxiously::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: I know but at this point in time she is mine.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She watches the CO and XO closely...:: CIV: Something isn't right, ::she whispers::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: She knows your scent already.

Host Coot says:
@ <kitten> ::hisses as she is removed from the CEO and sinks her claws into the FCO's arms::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::feels the claws and the hiss but knows it is her baby none the less::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::points to the hypo then to his neck::  CMO: Get me where I can function for a few minutes...  

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves toward one of the medical units and pulls out a phial that she places into a hypospray, which she then injects into the CIV::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: I think she wants to stay with me

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: waits for Luchena to enter, then closes the door :: XO: I'm afraid I have some very unpleasant news, Mikal. I have been ordered to relieve you of command pending an inquiry. You are being charged with violation of the Temporal Prime Directive and the destruction of the Gecko, with possibly other charges to come.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::feels the pain deaden::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::takes little Ashley and despite her babies reaction she loves her and strokes her with tenderness::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
CMO: What are your instructions for me doctor...   

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::several conflicting emotions washing over him::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Ashley (kitten) hacks up a fur ball onto the FCO and resumes hissing, unpleasantly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: I'd like to see you here once a day, so we can monitor your brain waves to be sure that they are functioning "normally".

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Albion, promise me you'll find and free Rofax.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: Gee. I never saw anything like that come out of a cat

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: We will do that together, Mikal. You haven't been convicted of anything yet. 

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the hairball and cleans up the mess and the kittens face with a towel::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO : It is called a hairball.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::feels a twinge in the back of his mind, obviously from Mikal::  CMO: I felt that!!!   Where did it come from?!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Am I to be taken into custody?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: It looked like an attack

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: No, but I have also been ordered to confine you to quarters. I won't embarrass you further by posting a guard at your door. I know you can be trusted.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: I've reversed the hypospray I gave to you several moments ago, but it will take time before your abilities become more extensive. In about five minutes I'll be forced to give you another.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: She needs to be taken care of with special machines and they only exist here in sickbay and....::tears forming in her eyes:: She is my baby.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::removes his pips and holds them towards the CO::  CO:  May I have a minute to speak to David?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Ashley (kitten) jumps out of the FCO's arms and makes for the CMO's office, sinking her claws deeply into the CMO's chair.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::not knowing what to decide she begins to cry::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices a kitten dash in::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns toward the FCO and CEO:: FCO/CEO: What is going on over there?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::puts a hand on the FCO's shoulder:: FCO: I love her too

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: refuses the pips ::  XO: Put those back on, Mikal. You are still a Starfleet officer. I am going to go to the JAG's office personally to find out what this is all about. I intend to fight this tooth and nail, Mikal.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CEO: I don't want to lose her.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CMO: Little Ashley wants to stay with me, but she's not ready to go.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Of course you can, Mikal. Report to your quarters within the hour.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Ashley (kitten) continues sinking her claws into the chair and begins scratching deeply, leaving her mark.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::closes his fist around the pips::  CO:  I appreciate that Captain. But I'm willing to face whatever I must.  Please focus on finding Rofax.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::remains seated on the biobed::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Yes. *After* we deal with this farce.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Jose, I'm going to have to ask you to leave if problems continue to arise... and you will be replacing any damage that thing makes in my office. ::She moves into her office and grabs the kitten by its scarf::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::cuddling the rest of her litter and crying::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  It's mine to deal with.   Am I excused?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Dismissed.  I have to get over to the station. I'll fill you in as soon as I get back.  :: leaves Sickbay ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Ashley (kitten) growls unpleasantly and begins twisting violently in the CMO's grip.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Sorry for the intrusion, Commander. ::She brings the kitten into main Sickbay and places it in a small containment unit::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::walks towards the biobed::  CIV:  David, do you feel any better?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO/CMO: Maybe you should juts let me take her. She seems okay, and obviously doesn't like it here.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Jose, this is not the time to discuss this. Please leave Sickbay for now, Lieutenant Rochelle and her children still need their rest.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::smiling a halfhearted smile::  XO: Yah...  But Ashley says that it'll only last a few minutes...   It's sounding more and more like I'll be confined here again.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CMO: Oh all right

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::leaves::

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::sits up straight::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  I've been relieved of duty and confined to quarters.  Are you well enough to come with me?

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
Outloud: Newind....    

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Newind?

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::smiles - smirks even, then looks to the XO::  XO: He feels guilty about something

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::smiles widely::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles in return::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Is David well enough to be discharged?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at little Ashley in the container and then at her other kits in her arms all looking to snuggle up for nap time::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns from the containment unit and shakes her head:: XO: Oh, yes, of course he is, Commander.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks to the CMO::  CMO: And when the pain returns?

Mikal_Luchena says:
CMO:  Thank you.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: Then contact me immediately, and we will numb your mind for the time being.

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
::hops off the bed:: 

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: What's this about your being relieved?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::wipes her eyes and lays down and her babies cuddle in her arms and look for her chest to snuggle in all the right spots and soon are asleep::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CIV:  How about I tell you all about it over dinner.  I'll cook.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She pauses, hearing the CIV's comment:: XO/CIV: Relieved?

CIV_Lt_DeRidder says:
Luchena: Please...   

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> FCO: Are you considering the Commander's request, Lieutenant?

Mikal_Luchena says:
::stops::  CMO:  Yes Doctor.  ::looks her straight in the eye::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: I hope it doesn't come to that but I will take it under advisement doctor.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head:: Luchena: Over what this time, if I may ask?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: I love my kits and I don't understand why but I do.

Mikal_Luchena says:
CMO:  This time?  ::eyes her dangerously::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Luchena: I wasn't inferring you were to blame, Commander. I was asking what their reason was for removing yet another officer. However, I will refrain from asking any additional questions. ::She moves away toward her office::
