Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::turns facing the crew:: ALL: I am not going to go into the spill about doing your jobs since I am confident that you know them very well. What I will expect is for you all to work together as a team. My door will be open if you need to discuss anything. For now I will say I look forward to working with each of you.
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
XO: Dismiss the crew to stations and lets get under way.

COMM ADM: Yes sir.
Host Adm_Jordain says:
COMM: Tal-War: Your new mission orders... You will proceed to the planet Pacifica ::pauses:: which is almost 200 light years away from here.
Host Adm_Jordain says:
COMM: Tal-War: For this journey you have been granted a cruising speed permission of warp 7, thus cutting your travel time to about... 3 months.
CTO_Bost`k says:
SELF: 3 months!
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
COMM ADM: Sir may I ask what our mission is once we arrive?
XO_Cook says:
::stands listening to the communication, and thinks about how far that will place him away from Heather and sighs::
Host Adm_Jordain says:
COMM: Tal-War: All necessary supplies and cargo are already on boa... ::hears O'Guinn and nods:: You will stop by at Pacifica en route to your new patrol area... you will be mapping largely unexplored areas with few UFP influence.
FCO_Shania says:
::almost falls of her chair, thinks: 3 months...one way....I’m gonna die!::

COMM: ADM: Thank you sir.
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::waits for the communication to be cut::
OPS_B`lee says:
::wonders since when do they get docking clearance from an Admiral as he closes the channel::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::turns sitting down:: OPS: Contact Starbase Operations and get us clearance Lieutenant.

CO: Aye sir... COM: Starbase OPS: This is the USS Tal-War requesting permission to depart.
OPS_B`lee says:
::is surprised by the lack of response and runs a diagnostic of the COM array:: COM: Starbase OPS: This is the Tal-War, please respond ... can you hear me Starbase OPS?"
OPS_B`lee says:
CO: I don't understand it, sir. The communications array seems to be functioning normally. ::continues his diagnostic::
XO_Cook says:
::watches B'lee as he runs diagnostics, and thinks it better not be broken he just had everything fixed::

FCO_Shania says:
::initiates half thrusters:: CO: On the way
CTO_Bost`k says:
:: checks tactical sensors::
XO_Cook says:
CTO: Since we have a long journey ahead of us, this trip would be a great opportunity for you and your staff to set up some courses to help the crew with various combat skills and training
CTO_Bost`k says:
XO: I will get to work on that as soon as possible sir
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
FCO: Acknowledged.... once we clear the outer markers set course for Pacifica
FCO_Shania says:

Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::sits back watching the crew work::
CTO_Bost`k says:
OPS: how long will the alcohol last?
CTO_Bost`k says:
:: keeps eye on tactical sensors::
XO_Cook says:
::looks at the CTO and raises an eyebrow, and makes a metal note to find out about that later::
OPS_B`lee says:
::glances at the CTO and wonders what the heck he's talking about before going back to his console::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Feels the XO curiosity perk with e CTO's comment::
CTO_Bost`k says:
:: notices the others on the bridge::  ALL: not that I drink...
CSO_Asmodeius says:
CTO: At least not much right. ::Smiles::
OPS_B`lee says:
::spends his time working on the never-ending jigsaw puzzle that is crew quarter’s assignments::
