<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands on the far side of the Zen, looking out at the massive structure of Starbase 371::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::signs off on yet another repair, hands PADD to Joat and heads of to the meeting in the Lounge::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::enters the Zen lounge::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::enters the lounge a bit breathless from finishing up all of the docking procedures::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::arrived early in the Zen, sitting down::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods to the CSO and the CO and parks her chair next to the wall out of the way::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Steps into the lounge, tucking a loose strand of hair back.  Looking around she finds her seat and sits down with a sigh.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::smiles to the Counselor::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::hits a wall switch to dim the windows some as the work lights outside are rather bright::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::hobbles over to a chair and sits down::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::enters the lounge and finds Keely, sits down next to her::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Steps off turbolift and quickly moves to the lounge and eases in behind the CMO; moves along the bulkhead and waits::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles at Woody as he sits down::  SO: Hi stranger.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::takes a seat, grinning at the rest in the room::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
CNS: Hi there ::tired:: Any idea why we're here?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns away from the window and leans over a bit as Yeoman Nerishnekov whispers something in his ear, nods, and then moves toward the assemblage::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
OPS: I have heard a few things but nothing official. ::whispers quietly::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Feeling air move behind her turns to see Soree and smiles before turning back.::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::leans over and whispers to Keely:: CNS: Keely...guess what my brother Bill sent me.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Stands loosely at parade rest::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::grins:: What?
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CNS: A puppy.  ::grins:: He's called Bowser.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::clears his throat and comes to stand before them, standing at ease:: All: Quiet down, please.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles:: OPS: I can’t wait to see him.  I bet he is cute.  I love dogs.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::quiets down and looks up at the CO::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins even bigger at Keely and then turns to the CO::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
:::pays attention::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up at Jyg and just listens.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::slowly looks across the room and back again, meeting every eye:: All: I've been in communication with Admiral Shadow, regarding our mission to Sigma Theta. I know that mentioning that name stirs things in each of us, meaning something different for our neighbor as it does for us.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::shifts in his seat, trying to get more comfortable::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::frowns::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::wonders who in the world is Admiral Shadow::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::her grin fades quickly::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::maintains a blank look::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: In the last week, we've gotten the ship back on it's feet. We've gotten ourselves back on our feet. We've cheered for those us that survived, and mourned those that we lost. I know that the grief we feel isn't something that just goes away, and certainly not after a week. But we've taken that one small step, and we've begun to heal.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::pauses a moment, nodding to Malka:: All: Admiral Shadow agrees with that assessment. We've passed our crucible. And though we may not feel it now, we are the better for it. ::raises his voice slightly:: OPS: Ensign Mia Clooney, front and center.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::stands a bit startled and walks quickly to the front of the room:: CO: Aye sir.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles at her friend and wonders how she will react to this public decoration::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::manages to control his smile somewhat:: OPS: For your actions at Sigma Theta, it's with the agreement of Admiral Shadow that I present you with the Admiral's Commendation for Outstanding Performance Under Extreme Conditions. ::takes the small band and pins it to her uniform under her commbadge:: Congratulations, Ensign Clooney. You earned it.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Malka> ::holds the Plexiglas certificate::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::doesn't know what to say.  Just stands there dumbly staring at the commendation:: CO: Um...thank you, sir. :: salutes quickly still dumbfounded::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::whispers:: Mia: You don't have to salute. ::takes the certificate from Malka and presents it to her after shaking her hand:: Congratulations again. ::smiles and looks over her head:: SO: Lieutenant Milwood Hayward, please come forward.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks at Clooney and nods in approval::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::surprised:: CO: Aye Sir ::moves to the front::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::grins as Woody goes up front::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::stumbles backward out of the way holding the plaque::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks confidently at the younger man:: SO: Lieutenant, I've never had a busier commbadge than when I left you up here to give me ideas. Though we never got to implement all of them, your resourcefulness did not lose its merit. It's with pleasure that I present the Admiral's Commendation for Creative Thinking to you for your good work.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::pins the ribbon under his commbadge and takes the certificate from Malka, handing it to him:: SO: Congratulations, Lieutenant. ::offers his hand::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Smiles broadly:: CO: Thank you ::shakes his hand::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::smiles and nods at Hayward::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::beams with pride::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: SO: You're welcome, Lieutenant. ::releases the man's hand and raises his voice again:: CNS: Counselor Cephas...
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::slips back quietly towards her seat and sinks down into it::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks up a bit surprised::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::moves out of the way for Keely, winking at her as he passes::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::gets up and hobbles forward::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::lowers his voice again:: CNS: Counselor, I feel that I understand the difficulties you face every day, working and living in our environment. But I'm happy to see that though this environment may slow your body, it's done nothing to your mind. Your efforts in aiding the bridge crew at Sigma Theta have earned you what you deserve.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::pins it on:: CNS: The Admiral's Commendation for Creative Thinking. ::smiles proudly:: Thank you for your help, Counselor.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::grins as he pins it on and then places her weight on her left brace so as to free up her right hand::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::grins wildly::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::shakes the CO's hand:: CO: Thank you sir.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins weakly...happy for her friend::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shakes her hand:: CNS: Excellent work, Counselor. ::catches Woody's eye and offers the certificate to him to hold so Keely is freed up::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::gets up and takes the certificate, whispers:: CNS: I have it...
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::returns to her sit and thanks Woody for his help::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::sits::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::waits a moment until she sits and then looks up again, can't help but smile this time:: CMO: Doctor Ahkileez, please come forward.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Raises an eyebrow curiously.  Eyes her husband as she stands and walks forward.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks into her eyes, and then briefly out at his other officers:: CMO: It's not often I can give out awards to family members, but I don't think there is any doubt in anyone's minds that you've earned the Starfleet Surgeon's Medal. Your efforts on the surface were spectacular, and the fact that I can award you this is a testament to that. ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::accepts the medal from Malka and pins it on the opposite side of Kela's uniform:: CMO: Congratulations, Doctor. ::leans down and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::A stunned look briefly passes her face before turning to a smile, accepting the kiss with a bigger smile::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::grips her arm softly as she turns to go and then looks toward the group again:: CSO: Lieutenant Commander Shinji Ikari, front and center! ::puts a little more emphasis in his voice this time::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Takes her seat, shaking her head.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::hops up, surprised by the tone of his voice::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::wonders if there might be more to this particular presentation::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: We've served together on this ship for quite some time, and seen its ups and downs. Rode them out together. I knew that when I left my ship in your care, I was leaving it in good hands. That faith has shown itself true, and I'd like to make it permanent.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::swallows hard::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: I'm promoting you to Commander, and assigning you as the ships new, Executive Officer. With all the turmoil and pleasure that entails. ::smiles:: Congratulations, Commander. ::pins the gold pip on his collar::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::quietly unpins her ribbon and puts it on the table next to the plaque and grins at the new XO's expression::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Stands straighter and proud for Ikari::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::smiles and shakes the CO's hand:: CO: I'll serve the ship the best I can, sir.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::grins::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::looks at Ikari, smiles at his boss's promotion::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles, hoping things work well for this new 'team'::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::returns the smile:: XO: I know you will, Commander. I know where you live. ::straightens some:: As your first duty, you're to supervise the Science Department's being converted to Lieutenant Hayward's command.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::turns and grins at Woody::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::returns Keely's affection::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::gestures for Ike to stand at his side::
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Of course, sir.  ::turns to face Woody::  SO: Lieutenant, stand please.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks over to the SO and nods to him with a congratulatory smile::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
::shocked, stands:: CO: S-sir...
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
SO: It is with great confidence that I give you the science department.  Treat it well.  ::winks::
SO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: I'll keep it in line with your expectations. ::Happy::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks out on the staff:: All: You have all met and surpassed my expectations for Starfleet officers. I'm proud to be your Captain, and even prouder to consider myself your friend. Congratulations to you all. ::smiles:: Dismissed for Shoreleave.
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Nods:: CO: Sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Stretching, slowly stands.::
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::looks at Keely:: CNS: I have the science department!
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Turns to Mia::  OPS:  Congratulations Mia.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Moves toward Ikari hand extended::
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CNS: This call for a d.... Rootbeer. ::grinning:: OPS: Congratulations Mia.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles:: CSO: Yes you do, and I couldn't  think of a better person for the job.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::grins::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::claps Ike on the back and leaves him to the mercy of well-wishers::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Congratulations sir.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shrugs:: CMO: More like congratulations to you, Doc.  I wouldn't be walking right now if it weren't for you ::grins::
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: Good luck as second in command. I'm sure you'll do a great job. ::beams::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::hobbles to her chair and then makes her rounds congratulating everyone.::
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::smiles:: CSO: And don't think I won't be biased toward Science, I want that crew tiptop.  ::claps him on the shoulder::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  I think this is a case of congrats to all of us.  Working as a team we got out.  Not one individual alone.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::mingles with the group, trying not to tower too much:: CEO: Lieutenant?
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::hearty laugh:: XO: I'll be keeping the staff under control.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CMO: Yes, ma'am.  CSO: You too.   CNS: You too, Keely. ::starts to back out the door and then makes a hasty exit back to the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Drops the untaken hand and steps back from the crowd around the XO::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::goes up to Mia and the CMO:: CMO/OPS: Congrats to you both. ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to the Captain:: CO: Sir?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Starts to call out to Mia, but stops.::  CNS:  And to you.  Thank you.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CMO: Give her time.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks down at him:: CEO: Is the ship on standby and clear for External Power Mode?
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: ::looks up at Ahkileez:: It is sir.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods towards the closed doors::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CNS:  I will.  We all still need time.  Did you have any further luck with our patients in sickbay?
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::makes some polite excuses and slips out of the lounge, tailing Clooney::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::goes to the OPS console and sits down busy getting everything ready for a skeleton crew::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods:: CMO: I believe so.  They all have a long road ahead of them.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CEO: All right. I'd like you to head to the bridge and turn us over to their power. As soon as you're complete, you're free to work with the station engineers to get us out of this rather embarrassing condition as quickly as possible so we can stand with our own two feet. ::smiles a bit, giving him tacit approval to roam the station::
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::stands behind the OPS, hoping without her knowing:: OPS: Didn't you hear the Captain?  We are released for shore leave, Mia.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Aye sir... will get right on it.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CNS:  Yes.  I think the girls presence helped with one if not two of them.  There is not much more I can do with them.  What is your prognosis?  I am trying to decide whether to place them on LOA and leave them at the base or for their families, or to keep them aboard and let  you work with them.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods to the Captain and leaves the lounge for the turbolift::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the engineer and then returns to the crowd of officers, slipping up behind his wife::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::puts the award down on the floor next to the console and jumps a bit at Shinji's voice:: XO: Aye sir.  Just finishing up a few things.  ::looks up at him:: Congratulations, sir.  You deserve it. ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Enters the lift on deck 3:: TL: Bridge.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CMO: How about you let me review their case today and I will give you my thoughts on an individual bases this evening?
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CNS: Care to head to the station?
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Exits the lift and moves to his bridge station::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CNS:  Sounds good to me.  Thanks.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Sensing Jyg behind her smiles without turning around.::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Completes the ship connections with the Starbase::
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS:  Thank.  Yours was well deserved too.  Can't you find someone else to do this work?
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks up and smiles:: CSO: I would love too. ::nods to the CMO::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::rests his hands on her shoulders:: CMO/CNS: You medical types work almost as much as engineers. Take some time off, the both of you and enjoy yourself Keely.
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::holds onto her arm:: CNS: Ma'am, this way. ::looks happy::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
COM: SB 371: Sharikahr is ready for Station utilities support.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Winks at Keely::  CNS:  I think that is an order.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Um....sure.  Actually I'm not really on duty.  ::motions for Crewman Yesman to take over and slips out of her seat and stands up next to him::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::giggles at Woody:: CO: Aye sir.
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS:  That's better.  Have any plans for shore leave?
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CNS: Okay, but promise you'll never call me Sir off duty. Hell, or even on duty. ::leads the way::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: It was. ::smiles at the counselor:: The kids are okay for now with Avi. Want to collect Zavvia and head to the station?
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
<SB 371>COM: Sharikahr: Acknowledged... commencing now.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sees the power transfer and ensures all is correct::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Heading for the door::  CO:  Why do I get the impression you have something in mind for our eldest?
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: No sir.  Just going to look around.  Um... ::bites her lip and looks up at him:: Did you?
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::grins mischievously::  CSO: Yes, sir.
Host Captain_Harrison says:
@COM: Sharikahr: This is Captain Harrison from the Judge Advocate Generals Office.  I would like to speak with Captain Ahkileez.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to the young Ensign that has the portside duty:: Duty Officer: I'll be in Main Engineering if any thing comes up.
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CNS: Ever had a Root Beer?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::follows her:: CMO: Me? What would make you think that? ::tries not to smile:: I think she needs some time without her little brother and sisters.
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Well, I had a few plans,  but I'm not sure if I'll be needed for this investigation... I'm pretty new at this stuff.  ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
<Duty Officer>CEO: Aye sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Chuckles::  CO:  Not to mention it would be nice for her to have special time.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Crewman Yesman> ::his voice cracking at hearing who was on the other end:: COM: Harrison: Yes sir...I'll get him sir right now.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
:: takes turbolift to Main Engineering::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CSO:  Hmm... I don't recall if I have or not.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Crewman Yesman> *CO*: Sir....I have a call from Captain Harrison from the J...J.. Judge Advocates General's Office.
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CNS: I'm sure you'll like it. Old Earth drink. ::looks sideways:: Non-alcoholic
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::sees the glance and wonders who told him::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sighs as they approach the turbolifts::*Yesman* Thank you, Crewman. I'll take it in my ready room. Please ask him to standby.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: ::giggles:: I guess so since you've been XO all of 15 seconds now.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks regretfully at Kela:: CMO: I'll try to make it quick.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Either way, I will gather Zavvia.  If you can't meet us right away, you can meet us later.
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::continues on their way towards SB::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans down and gives her a kiss:: CMO: Thanks for understanding. ::steps into the lift:: TL: Bridge.
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Crewman Yesman> *CO*: Aye sir.  ::transfers the comm to the CO's ready room after asking them to stand by::
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::chuckles:: OPS: It's been pretty easy so far, I have to say.  Hope it stays this way.  I had better stick around for a little while though, just in case.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::drums fingertips against leg on the short ride up and steps out of the lift, heading forward across the bridge toward his office::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Enters main engineering and goes to the situation display console to monitor the repairs::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Lets go an unconscious sigh as she waits for the next TL.  The joys of being a captain’s wife...  Then again, she wouldn't mind spending some time with her daughter one on one.  With a smile, she takes the next TL, heading for her quarters.::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: ::grins:: Well then I guess I had better go.  ::pauses:: Unless you want something done....I don't really have anywhere special to go....
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::enters his office and skirts his desk, coming around and slowly sitting in his chair as he activates the comm:: COM: JAG: Ahkileez here. Go ahead, Captain Harrison.
Host Captain_Harrison says:
@COM: CO: Captain, good to see you are recovering well.  I will be conducting the Investigation that you were informed of.  I am just checking to see if I can get an office to interview your crew on ship?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Entering her quarters, heads automatically for Zavvia's room.:: Zavvia:  Honey, it is time to go.   Your father may be detained, but I thought you and I could start out and he can meet up with us when he is done.
XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head::  OPS: The only thing I need you to do is relax.  Have some fun.  You deserved it.
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::walks slowly to accommodate Keely:: CNS: We should be nearing the docking ring.....right around here ::spots it::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::sees the numerous small cartons of parts being brought in; the duty tech inventories and signs for them, then grabs another tech to help him put them in storage::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CSO: Ever been to this Starbase?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::assimilates the request:: COM: JAG: Of course, Captain, that won't be a problem. My XO will see to the details of setting you up. If you need an aide while you're aboard we can take care of that too. How soon will you be onboard, Captain?
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::shakes his head:: CNS: Nope. Lets hope it's a pleasant surprise. You never know.
CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::leads the way onto the station::
CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks around and remembers why she joined SF::
Host Captain_Harrison says:
@COM: CO: Within the hour, I hope.  I will check with your number one then.  Thank you.  Harrison out.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Watching Zavvia put her book away, then gracefully stand to glance at herself in the mirror, She smiles at her daughter.  The signs of her slipping into her teen years were starting to show.  Poor Jyg.::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Okay.  ::grins:: Maybe later you can stop by my quarters.  My brother gave me a puppy.  He's the cutest thing.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Issues orders for the alpha shift techs and sets aside the inspection of the shield generators for himself on the beta shift::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stares at the screen and then hits his badge:: *XO*: Commander Ikari, report to the ready room.
Host Captain_Harrison says:
