Summary:
The trip to Serenity will take three long weeks and the Triton is only two days out of space dock. The Captain has been left behind at the Starbase to face an inquiry after the failure of their last mission. He may rejoin the crew once Starfleet Command is satisfied with his answers, but are they ever? 

Several members of the crew have left the Triton for other assignments, but a fresh batch of replacements is on the way. Among them are a new doctor, an experienced Captain who is taking a civilian position, a new counselor, and a brand new science chief and new tactical chief. I hope the Captain can remember all their names.

The new staff will be arriving via shuttle shortly, along with a few replacement crewmen who missed the boat back at the Starbase. (Twenty lashes with a wet noodle for them)

The USS Kensington has already left Starbase 16 and is on her way to Serenity to act as support for the Triton. Supplies and additional personnel have been sent to speed up the building process for the new Paradise Station. This is Captain Porter's first command and he anxious to prove himself.

As we begin, Commander Sommers is on the bridge, her facial expression somewhat sad. News from home weighs heavily on her furrowed brow as she does her best to command the Triton. Vice Admiral Sheridan is also aboard the Triton, anticipating this latest mission and her return to Serenity.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in "Building Blocks"....Chapter Two "The Newcomers".....Stardate 10704.12

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO:  I bet the CTO will be glad I'm gone. Whoever he is.

Shuttle Pilot says: 
OPS:  We have landed.  Where shall I tell the crew to report.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: Triton:  XO Sommers: Negative, Commander.  I am only 30 minutes out of SM16, however I am approaching at warp 9.95 so intercept should not take very long.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO:  Apart from the captain and me, we are the last of the original crew since my time here.  I am losing all my friends.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:

CNS_Cmdr_Turnbull says:
::Glances over at the pilot as she walks down the ramp.::  Pilot: That was a smooth flight, hope it goes as well for you on the return trip.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Glances at Admiral Sheridan.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO:  Don't say that.  For all I know I could be shipped off too.  I still feel guilty about that last mission.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Slowly gets up carefully trying not to wake Colin.   She reaches down for his bag of toys and other necessities and slings it on her shoulder.  She also grabs her own tote, a bit smaller and also slings it on her shoulder.  She balances both bags and baby.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO:  I don't.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO:  Coming from you Tanon I would logically assume that much. ::smiles.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::She smiles at the pilot and nods.  She exits the shuttle and looks around.::

ACTION:  Several crewmen enter the shuttlebay and begin to unload the shuttle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self:  Somehow I think this ship of change is going to affect me in more ways than one.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO:  Spend that much time in the brig and see how you react.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO:  Already been there, Tanon.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:

CNS_Cmdr_Turnbull says:
::Heads off toward the lift and calls for deck 12, wanting to check out the counseling suite first.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO: Tanon, I have been in the worst brig yet.  A Starfleet base brig for more than a month and a half.  I know what it is like.  Being an animal in a cage!  ::Growls low at the memory of it.::

Richard says: 
CMO:  Hello beautiful... ::Gives her a kiss and slips off the bags from her shoulder.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
TO:  If you'd please do me a favor and take my gear so I can just get to the Bridge.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO:  I felt like one.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Richard:  Hey handsome... ::Smiles up at him.::

CNS_Cmdr_Turnbull says:
::The lift doors open onto deck 12 and she turns right to double check the deck layout, then continues in that direction to the counseling suite.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::The TL stops at the bridge, and she exits and heads over to Commander Sommers, saluting her and the nearby Admiral.::  XO Sommers:  Commander Sommers, I have orders for your leave.  The shuttle is awaiting your departure.

TO Theguy says: 
CTO:  No problem, Ma'am.  Welcome aboard.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::Leans over to Sam.::  XO Sommers:  You're leaving, Sam?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Heads for the nearest TL after handing him the bag and heads to the Bridge, orders in hand.::

CNS_Cmdr_Turnbull says:
::Drops her bag in the main room and looks into the connecting rooms and offices.::  Self:  This will work, only a few changes needed.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
ADM:  I've requested a leave of absence.  My father is ill, and they are not sure he is going to make it.  It looks like the order came through.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Recalls Cadet Ramm to relieve him.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
#::Monitors the engines as he pushes them to their limits.::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Nods to Tierney.::  Tierney:  Thank you, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Logs out of his station as Ramm arrives, gliding his fingers across it one last time.::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
Tierney:  Oh, I have a message to you to give to the new CTO.  Captain will be approaching on the Oracle.  He wants to make sure the new CTO does not shoot him out of the sky.  ::Laughs.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self:  He is really pushing her over the limit. ::Smiles.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
XO Sommers:  I thought you seemed a bit down.  Please take care of yourself and your family my dear.  You will be missed.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Steps out of the TL onto the Bridge.::

CNS_Cmdr_Turnbull says:
::Moves her bag into the room she plans to use as her office, removes her orders from the bag and heads out.::  Self:  Time to check in and get to work.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::Looks at the new Commander and smiles.::

::Head goes up at the mention of Turnbull.::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Boosts her smile a bit, and then hesitates and gives the Admiral a hug.::  ADM:  Thank you, Admiral.

Richard says:
CMO:  Sounds good.  I did some checking before coming here and all is well.  Tessie has made her way here and his taken over sickbay already.  ::Grins::   She assures me you got some time.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
XO Sommers:  Sorry to hear about your dad, Sam.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self:  Commander Turnbull?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
XO Sommers:  I am here to relieve you of your duty, Commander.  There's also orders for Lt. Salan as well.  Looks like he'll be leaving with you.

::Coughs to get attention.::  XO Sommers:  Ma'am?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO Sommers:  Sam, did I hear right?

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CEO:  Aye, J'Loni.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles.::  Richard:  Okay then let me find the bridge and whoever is in charge and I'll meet you at our quarters.  ::Kisses him one more time.::  See you in a bit.  ::Walks off towards the door waving to her family.::

ACTION:  In the shuttlebay, preparations for the shuttle's departure are almost complete.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Just throws an evil smile Tanon's direction.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Makes her way to the Turbolift and waits a few moments before it arrives.  The doors open and she steps in.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO Sommers:  Or something like that.  I know of her but never met her.  This could prove interesting.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Palms his forehead thinking, "she can't be doing it."

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
ALL:  If you all will excuse me.  I need to get moving before the shuttle leaves without me.  You have all been a wonderful crew.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::She leans against the back of the lift and closes her eyes for a moment.::

::Walks over to J'Loni and waits.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO:  To you who would be a warrior in any race I am sad to see you leave as well.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
To self:  Good-bye everyone.  ::Is a bit sad, but tries not to show it.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:

XO Sommers: They attacked me first. Two dozen witnesses.  What could they do?

*FCO*: I make you no promises, Lieutenant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO Tierney:  Understood, Sir.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
*CO*: Take care of your new CTO. Salan out.

ACTION:  As the Hindenburg leaves, it takes with it members of the Triton's crew. They may be gone but not forgotten.  At the same moment, the Captain's ship arrives.  Little does he know what awaits him on the bridge.
