Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

The Pendragon crew resumed its Diplomatic mission while attempting to heal the wounds left by the tragic loss of Captain Thraxis. The Delegation continued its preparations in isolation and the crew finalized repairs to the Pendragon left behind by the J'rdan entity.

Three weeks have passed since Jordan Thraxis made an attempt on her life. She has been released from Sickbay and placed under the care of CNS Simmons. The crew has been healing, but some continue to struggle.

FCO: What com? I was not aware that we had been hailed. Do not respond to unknown vessels without orders! ::His eyes are slits.:: *CO*: Captain, we have been hailed by a Klingon ship, they are requesting permission to beam over with a "passenger" of ours.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
COM: Klingon Shuttle: This is USS Pendragon: Please confirm that the passenger is our new CSO.

*CO*: Apparently our new Science Officer, Captain. I am verifying that now.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
*Jordan*:  Excuse  me.  Your late for your appointment.

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits and picks up one of the cups::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
*XO*: Understood, Lieutenant. If it is confirmed, have our new officer transported and check in with the Bridge. I'll be there shortly. Luchena out. ::She cuts the comm:: CIV: Anyway... I have some rather interesting news for you.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Simmons*:  Leave me alone!

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sips the coffee::  CO:  Yes?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::while waiting for an answer from the com, she looks for her relief that was supposed to be Maria::

Host Klingon_Pilot says:

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::has Ens. Scully go to the transporter room to escort the new CSO to the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: I've received new orders from Starfleet Command regarding your current assignment aboard the Pendragon. It seems that they've finally made a formal decision as to what your position title is officially.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
COM: Klingon Shuttle: There is no need to get loud.  Thank you for the verification.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods when the comm is cut.:: 

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
XO: Yes sir it is verified that it is our new CSO.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
 *Jordan*:  If you do not get down here immediately you will be confined to sickbay until we reach a Federation rehabilitation facility.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Simmons*:  That would be fine with me! ::cuts the comm::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::arrives on the bridge:: XO: I'm Commander Damein, good to meet you.

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Are you going to tell me or do I have to tickle you?  ::rises from his seat::

Host Klingon_Pilot says:
@ CSO: I thought this was all taken care of ahead of time. Paranoid bunch you are heading to.... ::trails off::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
FCO: All right, have her beam aboard and report immediately to the Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smiles as she takes a sip from her coffee cup yet again:: CIV: It seems that it has been dec... ::She grins as he rises:: CIV: Perhaps you'll need to use deadly force.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
@::prepares to beam over:: pilot: They seem to be, but perhaps they have a good reason?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
XO: Understood sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
COM: Klingon Shuttle: Prepare for her to beam over.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
XO*:  I need authorization for a committal.  The individual is a danger to herself.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Turns to the CEO.:: CEO: Good to meet you, Commander. I am Lieutenant Darna Hei Ran. ::Bows slightly.::

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stretches out his arms and wiggles his fingers menacingly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::unsure of whether to bow or shake hands:: XO: The pleasure is mine. I'm also your second officer ::Beams::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She shakes her head:: CIV: In all seriousness, it has been decided that you will be the Diplomatic Liaison to the Sector. This means that you'll have a great deal on your plate, Mikal. I know you'll be able to handle it. ::She smiles::

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I'll be staying here then... when you leave?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::makes a mental note to find out what the blazes has happened to Maria later::

Host Klingon_Pilot says:
@::grumbles once more::  CSO: Looks like they are getting around to it.  Prepare for transport.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CEO: Good then. Please, join us. ::Turns back toward the front.::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: You're assigned to the Pendragon officially, unless your talents are needed elsewhere for certain missions. I assume that means that we'll be sent on more diplomatic missions then ever before.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
*XO*  I said... I need authorization for a committal.  Its urgent.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: Ate Sir. :: takes his station ::

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
@Pilot: As ready as I will ever be ::is ready to transport::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::Ashley's expression brightens:: CIV: This means that you're now officially a member of the Senior Staff again. However, there is one more matter we need to discuss. ::Her expression changes from positive to monotone::

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits down::  CO:  Get it off your chest.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::holds the Pendragon steady for the Klingon shuttle to transport her cargo::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: I'm not sure, Mikal, if you understand how important this position is. You're basically in charge of all diplomatic operations in this sector, which means that you'll be coordinating other diplomats and working very closely with other worlds. ::She pauses:: CIV: So... Starfleet has decided that you'll have to do something else too.

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  CO:  And that would be?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*CNS*: If it is your opinion that such a measure is needed, Counselor, then you have my approval.

ACTION: The CSO is transported over from the shuttle. The shuttle then warps off towards Klingon space.

TO_Ens_Scully says:
CSO: Welcome to the USS Pendragon.  I am Ens. Scully.  Please accompany me to the bridge. Your bag will be taken to your quarters.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
 *XO*:  Very good Sir.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
::gets her bearings once transported to the Pen:: TO: Thank you Ensign. Lead the way

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She opens up her desk drawer and takes out a little black box:: CIV: Commander Mikal Luchena, due to your increased responsibility within the Sector, it is Starfleet Command's decision to promote you to the full rank of Captain. It is my duty, as the Commanding Officer of the Pendragon, to do the honors. ::She opens the little black box::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::sends copies of the order to security and sickbay with instructions to proceeds when they are ready::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::with the CSO on board she continues to the planet::

TO_Ens_Scully says:
CSO: Right this way.

CIV_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns::  CO:  You're kidding me, right?

TO_Ens_Scully says:
CSO: Is this your first Intrepid class vessel? ::escorts CSO to bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: I'm not kidding at all, Captain. ::She stands up from her seat and takes the pip in her fingers:: CIV: You're commanding an entire diplomatic team, Mikal. You deserve this rank and position, with all of the rights that come with them.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
Sully: Yes it is ::follows sully to the bridge::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::leans forward the kisses the CO on the cheek::  CO:  That's a relief.  I was afraid I was going to have to take orders from you.  ::grins::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Sits on the edge of the command seat, leaning over with his head resting against his hand in a posture of concentration.::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::Scully arrives on bridge:: <Scully>:CSO: We are here.  I will introduce you, if you would like.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
Sully: That would be much appreciated

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smiles:: CIV: Don't worry, you still do. ::She grins widely:: CIV: Remember, I am in command. ::She gives him a strong hug:: CIV: Congratulations.

ACTION: Jordan is transported to the brig and a padded cell complete with 24-hour monitoring.

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
CO:  Thank you love.  If you don't mind, I'd like to check in on Jordan before we arrive.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head:: CIV: Yes, please do. Let me know how she is doing, Mikal.

TO_Ens_Scully says:
CO, XO,FCO:  Here is our new CSO, Ens. Marina.  CSO: May I present our Captain Yates-Luchena and First Officer HeiRan.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::finds herself in new surroundings ... sits down in the middle of the floor::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::smiles warmly::  CO:  Thank you Ashley.  ::hurries from the ready room::

Maria_Rochelle says:
::in the middle of her quarters crying::

TO_Ens_Scully says:
CSO: And our FCO Lt. Bishara Jet

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She follows Mikal out of her Ready Room and makes her way over to the Command Ring:: XO: Report, Mister Hei Ran.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CSO: Pleased to meet you I am sure.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
XO: Thank you Sir

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:

TO_Ens_Scully says:
 aCTO: Our new CSO Ens. Marina.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CSO: Have you read up on our current mission orders, Ensign?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Does not approach the new CSO, but nods his head.:: CSO: And I am Lieutenant Hei Ran, your XO.

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::arrives on deck 14::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::heads down the corridor to a ramp::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
CSO: Welcome to the Pendragon. I am Lt. Tribble. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: T'Lisha, what is our current ETA?

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
CO: No Sir. I haven't had a chance. ::nods to the XO and the aCTO::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::enters the brig and nods at the security officer on duty::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CSO: Then you have a homework assignment, Ensign. ::She smiles:: CSO: You may take your station. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask Lieutenant Hei Ran or myself.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
::Laughs slightly:: CO: Yes sir, thank you Sir. ::takes her station::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::walks towards the padded cell::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Current ETA is one hour now sir.

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  Jordan.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She makes her way over to the command chair and takes a seat:: XO: How are things going, Lieutenant? I see that you handled the transport of Ms. Marina quite well. Good work.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: Very good, Lieutenant. Steady as she goes.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  Careful, Mikal.  You might not want to get too close ... I might bite.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Aye sir steady as she goes.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Takes a stance to the right of the command chair.::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  Is this what you want?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::pushes a few buttons and notices the lateral sensor array is mis-calibrated by .00000001 percent, makes the adjustment::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  This is what I deserve.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::adjusts the power allotment grid::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Turns to Yates-Luchena.:: CO: Well, sir. Thank you. ::Looking at his Captain, he remembers his unpleasant first impression of her and begrudges her that. His face, as always, is blank.::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::shakes his head::  Thraxis:  You didn't create Jr'dan.  If not your DNA it would have been somebody else's.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smirks a bit at him:: XO: You may loosen up a bit, Mister Hei Ran. We aren't in a battle situation at the moment. ::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: How are things on your end, Jose?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::runs a diagnostic of her navigational computer::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
CSO: It will take awhile for you to feel at home here.  When we go off-duty, I would be happy to give you a tour.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: We're green across the board Ma'am.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  But I did, Mikal ... it was a part of me ... and I killed Albaron.  I have nothing left, Mikal.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
aCTO: Lieutenant, when was the last time you ran Security Drills throughout the ship?

aCTO: I would like that, thank you 

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
XO/CO: Sir's we have a com coming from Catulla Prime

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
CO: I will do so immediately, Sir.

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  You did not create Jr'dan, a hateful man did.  And do you really think Albaron would want you to give up?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
aCTO: Very good, Lieutenant. ::She smiles at Tribble:: FCO: Place it on screen, Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Aye sir on screen:: puts it on the view screen::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Makes no movement.:: CO: Yes, sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::her diagnostic comes back in the green::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::begins figuring plans for security drills::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
COM: Catulla Prime: This is Captain Luchena of the Federation Starship Pendragon. To whom do I have the honor to speak with? ::She stands up from her chair at this point::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  It doesn't matter what Albaron wants anymore, does it?  ::stares at him, a vacant look in her eyes::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::monitors the communications channels::

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
::spends time getting to know the console before her while listening to the others talk on the bridge::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::looks at Jordan sadly::  Thraxis:  You're going to be taken to a Federation Rehabilitation facility and kept there until you either die or decide to live.  Is that what you want?

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::sends plans for the security drills to Ens. Scully to get the security teams ready::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shrugs::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Walks to the CSO so as not to interrupt the Captain.:: CSO: Scan the surrounding area for anything unusual, Ensign Marina.

Host Busard says:
@ COM: Pen: Pendragon, welcome. Captain Luchena, weclome. I am Busard, assistant to the Prime Minister. According to sensors, we expect you within the hour and we look forward to meeting with you.

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::quietly:: Thraxis:  Jordan, I've been to those places.  You won't like it.  Tell me one thing.  Why did you stay on the Pendragon and not disembark on Betazed?  What's keeping you here?

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Yes sir ::her fingers moving over the console beginning the requested scans::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smiles warmly toward the man:: COM: Catulla Prime: We look forward to meeting you as well, Mister Busard. Is there anything specific you would like for us to do before we reach your location?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Sir do you want me to maintain a geosynchronous orbit around the location that they give us?

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
*Scully*: Ens. Scully, begin Alpha shift security team drills when ready.  Report results to me.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  And where, exactly would I go, Mikal?  I have no home, no family ... ::turns on him, anger in her voice::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  So this is nearest thing to a home you have?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  You could say that ...

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She ignores the FCO at the moment, seeing that she is speaking with Busard. She will answer her request in a few moments, and makes that known with a hand gesture::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  Because there are people here who care about you.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::nods to the captain and waits::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::finally notices the extra pip::

Host Busard says:
@ COM: Pen: No, that is unnecessary. You have traveled far and we have been preparing for some time. Bring yourselves and leave the formal dress at home. It offends the Prime Minister. ::grins::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::notices her eyes flicker to his collar::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Is facing the viewscreen and looks unhappily at the FCO, his opinion of her dropping quickly.::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  They promoted you?  ::becoming more irrational::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Faces the FCO just for a moment, then looks back at the screen.::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smiles widely:: COM: Catulla Prime: Not a problem at all Mister Busard. We'll see you in less than an hour. I know that my Senior Staff is rather excited.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::eyes the new XO and wonders about his demeanor::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  Do you blame me?  Right before you did it, you said something about it being all my fault.

Host Busard says:
@ COM: Pen: Very good. Busard out.  ::smiles as he cuts the comm::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::checks computer for social protocol on Catulla Prime::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::screaming at him:: CIV:  You hated him!  And now you have his rank!

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::patiently waits for the captain's answer::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Turns to the CSO and gives her the 'Well, anything yet?' look.::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She turns her attention to T'Lisha:: FCO: Make sure that you wait for me to complete a conversation before you ask me a question, just in case. ::She smiles:: FCO: You can always ask, Mister Hei Ran. But yes, you are correct. ::She takes a seat again::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
::sadly::  Thraxis:  I didn't hate him Jordan.  I was angry with him often, but respected him as your husband.

CSO_Ens_Marina says:
::glances at the XO and then back at her console and shakes her head:: XO: Nothing

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: My apologies captain.  Will maintain a geosynchronous orbit around the beam down site.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: Sounds perfect to me, Lieutenant. And that isn't a problem. We're all adjusting to the new structure on board.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
FCO: Yes sir,

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods and retakes his position to the right of the command chair.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::is still not completely comfortable yet::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: The computer reports no odd security protocols on Catulla Prime.   They have been Federation members for awhile, but are not visited frequently.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::is suddenly more rational again:: CIV:  Well, congratulations anyway.  ::turns from him and moves to the bed.  Sits::

CIV_Capt_Luchena says:
Thraxis:  Think about it Jordan.  You have a choice to make.  ::leaves::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Their technology is a bit outdated.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
