Prologue:  The Captain has called a meeting, but what does he want to discuss? Has he made a decision about what to do as far as the Triton goes? Was Vice Admiral Sheridan's argument enough to sway his answer?

A little food, a little drink, a little fun...now that's what I call a relaxing time. Life on Serenity is like something out of a fairytale, isn't it? Can the crew of the Triton stand all the pleasure?

Let's see what mischief our intrepid little band can get themselves into, shall we?

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in...."A Slice of Paradise"....chapter two....."One More Time".....Stardate 10601.12

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::snags a coffee from the engineering replicator and props his feet up on the MSD::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
TO:  So what did you think of the planet?  What was your impression of the people?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: exits the turbolift just outside the conference room and walks across the short corridor to the room and enters ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CSO: Take a seat Mr. Polo, help yourself to some refreshments :: points to the carafe of coffee and the replicated food in the middle of the table ::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Leans in close to Samantha as the lift accelerates.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::jumps into a turbolift:: TL: Bridge

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::gets a large milk, some meat products and then sits down at the table::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: goes to the replicator::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::Takes a mug of coffee and a donut filled with jam::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
XO: They seem pretty much like any other .

EO_CPO_Dawson says:

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CIV: Good you could make it Mrlr what I have to say will be of concern to you more than some

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
Comp: Coffee cream double sweet

::lifts her head and her eyes meet with the captain's and the fire intensifies but she controls it::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::flicks an ear towards the CO in question:: CO: Really, sir?  I'm curious to hear what it is.

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
:: stands up when the Admiral enters the room::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
TO:  I could sure use some shore leave.  ::Leans in and gives him a peck on the cheek before the TL doors open and they head to the conference room.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: I am honored that you included me Captain.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CIV: Once we are all here please take a seat

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: takes coffee and sits in his chair::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Smiles and watches her exit and then follows to the meeting.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::makes a cup of coffee for himself and takes a seat::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: motions for anyone standing to sit while they wait for the XO and TO ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
ADM: Good to see you are here

CEO_Randolph says:
::gets up and hands the captain her completed repair report and the engineering report as well:: CO: Sir, My report from engineering and the repairs.  ::growls a low growl::

CEO_Randolph says:
::looks at him and returns to her chair and sits::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::sits and  stretches his legs under the table::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Enters the conference room, taking a seat.::  ALL:  Hello everyone.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: takes the report :: CEO: Thank you lieutenant

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sits down and takes a sip of milk while spearing a meat nugget with a claw and delicately nibbles on it::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
XO: Hello commander. Lieutenant Cerdan.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::watches a reading fluctuate just outside the normal, and adjusts a control ever so slightly to correct it... sort of::

CEO_Randolph says:
::gets up and snaps a quick cross chest salute::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CSO:  Hello Rico.  Good to see you.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: nod to the XO::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::is already seated, she is having problems staying comfortable::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::relaxes in the chair as takes a sip of his coffee::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Gives a smile to the CTO and the others in the room.::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CSO: Hello LT. ::Gives him a nod::

CEO_Randolph says:
::nods at the XO::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
Whispers to OPS:  How are you doing?

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::makes sure the filling in the donut does not spill onto his uniform::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Refreshed I take it?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: stands and taps the head of his cane on the table loudly :: All: Please be seated so we may begin

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Well .. ::sighs:: not really.  I just got back from my 4 hour tour of the planet.

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Quietly takes a seat.::

ACTION: All the senior staff are assembled.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::turns his attention to K’Vas::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Quiets down and waits for the Captain to speak.::

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::is already halfway finished his coffee as he stands, and kind of paces engineering, wondering how likely an event it'd be for him to duck out while the chief's busy::

CEO_Randolph says:
::refuses to allow her emotions cloud her judgment::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::whispers::  XO:  A little extra tired and my lower back is aching.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: leans back in her chair and turns her attention to the Captain ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
All: The admiral has asked if this ship and crew would be willing to be reassigned to Serenity.

CEO_Randolph says:
::looks at the captain::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Jaw drops slightly, but still listening.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::spears another meat nugget and looks over at the Captain, realizing what he meant about how it would effect her::

CEO_Randolph says:
::then looks at the Admiral::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Sir?

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::decides to hand a random ensign some talk of fixing a faulty power conduit, then heads for a JT access::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::listens carefully wondering what reassigned means:: 

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: taps the Captain's arm :: CO: Captain, if I may address your crew for a moment?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
All: As Captain and as a Klingon I was ready to agree to the reassignment as it was a request but not an order.  The Admiral in her wisdom suggested I ask my crew what they prefer.  So that is why I have called you here :: points to the CTO:: CTO :Yes commander

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Looks over the group to gage their reaction.::

CEO_Randolph says:
::not quite sure of her expression but is really not to happy by it::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
VADM: Of course admiral  :: steps back so that she may be at the head of the table ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
Thinks to self:  What kind of excitement happens on Serenity?  I need action .. okay a little shore leave might be nice though.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: You can't be serious

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::slips into the JT, closes it behind him, and heads for junior officers' country:: Self: Wonder if she's awake... ::smirks just a little tiny bit::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: stands :: All: As you know, Starfleet has requested that we learn all we can about this new acquisition. I have been assigned as liaison for the time being and Starfleet has informed that the Triton may be put at my disposal for the time being. :: takes a breath ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::stifles a chuckle at the CTO's remark....doesn't he know that Klingons are not known for their sense of humor?::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Looks at the XO hoping  to get her attention.::

CEO_Randolph says:
::not liking the sudden switch in the Admiral::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
All: I have asked your Captain to discuss the options with you. I do not know how long this assignment may be, but I want you all to be aware that it may be some time.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Feels like someone is staring at her and she turns around to look at Ian.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::grabs his coffee and has some trying to keep a professional look::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::raises a paw::

CEO_Randolph says:
::shakes off the gut feeling she has::

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::climbs out of the JT in a transporter room, and takes a minute to orient himself to which deck he's on::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
All: If the Triton is needed elsewhere, of course the good Captain will do what he needs to. :: smiles at K`Vas ::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::waits a second to be sure the Admiral has finished speaking then raises his hand:: VADM: Ma'am?

CEO_Randolph says:
::liking the idea of being around a ship yard again even though it is small but something else is bothering her::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CIV: Yes Commander

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: Yes Lieutenant?

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Leans close:: XO: Can we speak freely here.?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO/VADM: Sir...ma'am.  On the Star base 16 we had quarters for our families.  Will we be receiving the same here?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
TO:  That I'm afraid you will need to ask the Captain or Admiral.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::steps out into the corridor and makes his way to a certain young ensign's quarters::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
VADM: What kind of assignment are we supposed to expect? Planetary survey? Sector Patrol?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::whispers:: Self: Planetary protection

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CIV: I am afraid that your families will have to wait to join you. This planet needs to be thoroughly surveyed before we can allow families here.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::stops just outside her door, and removes an access panel, beginning to toy with the inner circuitry a little::

CEO_Randolph says:
::not liking this idea of being pinned to a planet::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
::hates to think he may be forced to leave what has been his home for years::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: To answer your question, the Triton will need to do all manner of surveys, patrol for a while.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Whispers to the TO.::  What's up, Ian?

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Nods to Samantha and stands.:: CO: Permission to speak, Sir?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Granted

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks up at Ian::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: nods to the Captain :: CO: Sorry Captain, you may continue. :: sits again ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Turns her attention to Ian.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
VADM: Thank you admiral  :: nods in acknowledgement to her ::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CO: I believe we all agreed to go where we were needed when we joined Starfleet, I say we go where our Captain thinks we need to go.

CEO_Randolph says:
Self: What is going on here.  I would rather be out in the stars exploring and fixing but staying here and developing and studying is for scientists not an engineer.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::isn't too worried as her children are on the ship with her already.  But was worried about having a safe house for them.  Looks at the big Klingon Captain and gets an idea::

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::disconnects the chime for these quarters and reroutes that circuit elsewhere, snickering a little as he fiddles::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Your sense of duty is commendable Mr. Cerdan.

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Glances back at Sam as he finishes speaking.::

CEO_Randolph says:
::raises hand::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Returns to his chair.::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::raises hand again::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Commander I want your opinion on this as well, exchanging glances with our TO is not telling me what I need to know

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: Yes lieutenant

CEO_Randolph says:
::breathes deeply to quell the anger rising::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Frowns slightly at the Captains comment.::

CEO_Randolph says:
::gets up:: CO/ADM: Sirs, I don't mind being assigned to this planet but there are several things that must be pointed out.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::cross-connects another pair of circuits, introducing himself to a few sparks but nothing a decent med kit can't fix::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: nods to acknowledge the CSO that he will be next to be heard ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Glances back at Ian before speaking.::  CO:  Well Captain, I must admit that it is a nice place to visit.  I for one would prefer to be out in the stars exploring, but this is not going to be a permanent assignment, and I will go wherever SF needs me most.  And if Serenity is where I am needed, then Serenity it is.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO/ADM: For one I will need to have this ship yard brought up to specs for starfleet ships generally for the Triton.  That may be a problem from what I have observed.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Gives a smile to Ian, and then looks to the rest of the crew for their reactions.::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::trying not to make it obvious that she is shifting positions, she is having difficulty finding a comfortable position::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Very good, I would expect no less of my first officer.  This planet is on the edge of Federation territory it might give us the opportunity for many exploration missions

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Tries not to show much of a reaction, but surveys the crews.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::just leans back in the chair and listens idly to the conversation while finishing her meal and drink::

CEO_Randolph says:
CO/ADM: Granted that most of this crew do need a rest yes but here?  Most of us are seasoned battle hardened crew members and since I myself want and love to be flying through the stars and fixing my lady the Triton it will be somewhat hard to adjust to putting it bluntly farming life.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::admires his handy work for a minute or so, then reattaches the pannel::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: leans forward in her chair :: CEO: Again, until Starfleet sees their way to begin sending materials and crew, we would be on our own.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the Captain.::

CEO_Randolph says:
ADM: Well in that case sir I will have to become like a thief in the night to get what I need for my lady the Triton.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
Self: This keeps getting worse all the time

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: sits patiently::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: nods to the CEO and smiles ::

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I will say this.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: This is exploration lieutenant, being on the edge and using what we have at hand.  You chose to be an engineer and do battle with spanner instead of batleth, consider this a new battlefield.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: It will be a test of everyone's mettle here out of reach of Starfleet and on our own.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::flashes a little wink at the door, then slaps his newly modified chime and heads for a turbolift, casual as ever::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Turns to Randolph.:: CEO: What are you talking about......Farming?

CEO_Randolph says:
::eyes shift to the TO:: TO: I use farming as a pun since Klingons are not earth tillers.

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
VADM/CO: If I may. As the Klingons say, Hoch ?ebmey tIjon, capture all possibilities. This planet is perfect, we are on the edge of the Federation borders, we can build and not destroy for once, what could we ask more? my 5 cents opinion it's, let's do it. ::sounds enthusiastic::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: Remember the Klingon proverb, admire the warrior with dirt beneath his fingernails  :: translated so all know what is said ::

CEO_Randolph says:
::nods in acknowledgement of the CSO's response::

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Agreed sir! I will do what is required of me.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Gives a smile and a wink to Rico.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CSO: Thank you Mr. Polo

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CEO: We may not be patrolling the Romulan border but I'm sure our missions won't change much

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Mr. Meadows we have not heard from you

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Thinks this would be a nice place for Cmdr. Ashworth to have her babies, and it would be nice and quiet for her.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::raises a paw::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::smiles back at the XO and moves his hands like if to say, what could be better than this::

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::sends the TL to main engineering before the chief decides to catch him ducking out yet again::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks at the captain:: CO: Well sir.. I really don't like this situation

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Grins at the CSO, seeing a glow in his eyes, and knowing what's on his mind for the off duty hours.::

CEO_Randolph says:
TO: For your happiness sir I hope so.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: You are my captain and I trust your judgment

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: What  do you dislike about this situation?

CEO_Randolph says:
::listens intently to the FCO and his opinion::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CEO: Besides, I'm sure their docking facilities could use an upgrade or two while were here. ::Smiles .::

CEO_Randolph says:
TO: Yes but with what?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Sir no disrespect intended but it sounds like we are starting our own private colony out here

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
CEO: That is a challenge worth of a ballad J'loni.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: That doesn't sit well with me

CEO_Randolph says:
::nods in agreement with the FCO::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CEO: This place isn't without resources.

EO_CPO_Dawson says:
::steps off the TL in engineering, and goes back to propping his feet up on the MSD::

CEO_Randolph says:
TO: Yes and that is my point what if we get caught unprepared?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: sir?

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Rolls his eyes at the Chief.:: CEO: Your hopeless

CEO_Randolph says:
TO: No I am not hopeless.  ::smiles::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: This ship is to survey the planet and provide protection for it.  This planet is under consideration for admission to the Federation.  What we will be doing is as honorable as any other ship that has had this duty...Enterprise, Defiant, Excalibur just to name a few  :: growls a bit ::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: leans over to the Captain and whispers in his ear ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: leans down to listen to the admiral ::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Aye sir if you say so

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: holds his hand up to hold off the CTO for a moment ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks around:: All: I  am actually wondering why all the fuss?  We are in Starfleet.  You take the assignments you are given and adapt.  That is why we are allowed our families to be on board with us.  Personally I think it was rather generous of the Captain to ask our opinion but to put it bluntly...this is where we are assigned so we stay.

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
CEO: I am sure you are more than up to the challenge Lieutenant. Build like an engineer.

CEO_Randolph says:
::looks at the CSO::

CEO_Randolph says:
CSO: For you it is an adventure for me it is hard work.

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
CEO: You chose it. It means you like it. 

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
ALL:  I agree with Commander Mrlr.  Just because we are in SF does not mean that we will always be on a vessel.  Our assignments take us where we are needed the most, and right now it's Serenity.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, we can let the crew think about it for a while. I want this to be a unanimous decision.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sharply:: CEO: Then Lt, I suggest that you switch jobs if the position is too much work for you.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::drinks some of this coffee as he listens to the rest of the crew::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Wonders why the Admiral what’s everyone's opinion.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shrugs:: VADM: Ma'am...I don't need any time to think.  We are asked to do a job here at Serenity so let's do it.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: nods to the admiral :: All : I would like a show of hands, who is willing to take this assignment.  There will be no repercussions for saying no to this assignment

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: raises her hands :: All: Please, there is time to decide. You will have a few weeks here to enjoy the facilities and give your Captain your decision. I will abide by the will of you all.

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Is bored with this meeting already and starts to fidget in his seat.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::raises her paw::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
ALL: I honestly think here is a place where we can make a difference, more so than being one among many in Star base 16. is not only our duty but it looks like a great duty. ::raises his hand::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::raises his hand::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Looks about the room and raises his hand.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Raises her hand.::  CO:  I will go where SF takes me, Captain.  I will do my duty here on Serenity.  I vote to stay.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
VADM: As you wish but I would like to have an idea of  where the crew stands.  First gut feelings are usually the best

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices Ian fidgeting in his seat and reaches over and pinches him slightly in the arm, giving him a grin.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks around the room what for the rest of the crew to speak up::

CEO_Randolph says:
::still not happy with the idea and exactly where their location is either::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Yes lieutenant

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Rolls his eyes at Sam and rubs his arm,::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: touches K`Vas' arm :: All: I know that you want to do your duty as Starfleet officers, but  you must understand that there are no guarantees when you will see your families again.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Sir?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Speaks up.::  ADM:  Admiral, when I joined SF, I agreed to go where they needed me.  SF is my family .. and my life.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: I farmed once. helped raise our Indian colony, but its not for me I am a tactician, what does a tactician do on a place like Risa? I vote to stay on the Triton.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: looks down at her touch and then continues :: FCO: Where do you stand on this

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: smiles :: XO: Well said Commander, but I don't want to force anyone to go against their hearts.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the Admiral.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: We are staying on the Triton commander, we will be providing planetary security with the Triton.  It is not time to abandon ship

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks at his raised hand and buts it down:: CO: Sir I stand with like I always have

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Is confused by Chief Ray's reference to leaving the Triton. ::Whoa wait a minute.....

CEO_Randolph says:
CO/ADM: I will stand with my ship my captain and my Admiral and the Federation.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
All: If you decide not to stay, then I will inform Starfleet of that and there will be no penalty.

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Raises a hand again::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Yes Mr. Cerdan

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::still shifting to find a comfortable position::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CO: If we were decline, where would Starfleet be sending us?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Raises her hand also, but waits for the Captain to address her.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Back to Star base 16

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Yes commander

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CO: I think letting senior staff choose sets a bad precedent

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CO:  Will the crew have access to send communications messages to their families?

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Of course, communications will be functioning normally

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
ALL:  And so anyone that  has a concern about their families will always have access to contact them via subspace.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir just how close to Talosian space are we???

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
OPS: What do you think about it Commander?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Well the crew should consider themselves fortunate that the Admiral cares so for her crew.  Perhaps a Klingon would not have been so agreeable

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CO/ADM:  May I make a suggestion?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
XO: Of course Commander

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: Over three million light years lieutenant...of what concern is it to this ship

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CO/ADM:  Why not grant the crew a week of shore leave here, give them a chance to become familiar with Serenity.  Then let them decide.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir it was just a curiosity and nothing more.  One can not be to cautious.

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
CO: No disrespect intended Sir, but Will you ask for a vote the next time you order a phaser lock?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
XO: If your Captain wishes you may have your shore leave.

CEO_Randolph says:
::likes the XO's idea big time::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO:  I don't know, the only family I have outside Starfleet is my brother and his family, and then there is my husband's family, I would like to stay in contact with them for obvious reasons.  ::rubs her abdomen::

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
OPS: Oh I am sure you will be in contact with them as you would be on SB 16. Besides this is a touristy resort, not the end of civilization.

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Shifts in his chair again expecting a harsh reply from his Captain.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Wonders if the TO is going to be assigned to waste management for that comment.::  

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: No I won't lieutenant, and would likely choke the person asking if they did to death.  This was done as a courtesy nothing more.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: How long before repairs are completed and calibrations done to the ship?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::stifles a yawn at all of the yammering and finishes her milk::

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir on the PADD I gave you, all the repairs are completed and all recalibrations are done.  The nacelle is testing within normal parameters sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO:  Right now, I am just concentrating on one thing to really voice a full fledge opinion.  It won't be long before my twins are born. I really need to focus on them right now.

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
:: is shocked by the reaction of some people sitting on the table::

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I will not let this ship get caught again unprepared.

CEO_Randolph says:
::growls a low guttural growl::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she rubs her back muscles as they are bothering her::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::leans over and whispers to the CSO:: CSO: Don't worry...we can always steal a shuttlecraft and go off on our own. ::grins and winks::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
All/VADM: Then I suggest the crew of this ship take a two week shore leave.  In that time we should have sufficient knowledge of this planet to make the decision as well as have the ship fully tested

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
:: smiles :: CO: So be it Captain.

CSO_LTJG_Polo says:
::whispers to Mrlr:: CIV: I take you on your word on that, but what is wrong with talking? 

CEO_Randolph says:
Self: I wonder what is the real reason why we are here????

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
ALL: Prepare your shore leave rotation for your departments...dismissed

CEO_Randolph says:
::stands and does the cross chest salute to the CO and the Admiral::

TO_LT_Cerdan says:
::Stands ready to leave.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::stands up and exits the OL:

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Gets up from her seat.::
