Summary:

Serenity at last! After many weeks of one thing after another, the Triton has finally reached its destination, the protectorate of Serenity where a new land base for Starfleet will be constructed.

As the Triton arrived, the USS Kensington has not, her inexperienced XO fearing the possibilities of an approaching ion storm damaging his ship. Can the Triton's new Captain convince him to pick up the pace and not worry about the storm?

Contact from the planet so far, has come through someone called Billy Bob, most likely some local who was acting on behalf of Commander Jenkins, a Federation scout.

Their transmissions were weak as they were using short range systems but they have sent coordinates for the Triton's shuttle crews to land. Now if only the Kensington would deliver the supplies, someone could actually go to work.

Plans are underway on the Triton to dispatch away teams to the surface, some to the construction site and others to mingle with the locals in Paradise city. I wonder which members of the crew are going to have the most fun?

As we begin, Captain Tierney is on the horn with the Kensington, trying to persuade her reluctant XO to increase speed and meet the Triton at Serenity before the storm can descend upon them. Will she be successful?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::In Ko'tar's quarters talking.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Steps off the Turbolift onto the bridge, his first shift back on duty; he moves and relieves the current Science Officer, and takes his station.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Tosses her away bag onto the nearest biobed.::  Nicholas:  Nicholas, you got sickbay while I'm on the surface.  Think you can handle it?  ::Grins.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Open communications to the Kensington.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CO:  Channel opened, Sir.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Hears his Chief Tactical Officer tell him they are receiving a hail from the Triton.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Commander Burke:  This is the USS Triton, come in Kensington.

Nicholas says: 
::Rolls his eyes.:: CMO:  Probably not, but I'll keep the music down and send all the partiers home early, Mom.  ::Laughs::  Don't worry everything is quiet.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington CTO: Open a channel.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Feels the Turbolift come to a stop and steps onto the bridge as the doors slide open, he pauses a moment to take a look at his home and a deep breath.::

Ko’tar says:
CEO: J'Loni, you need to relax.  Did that Andorian hurt you?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles.::  Nicholas:  Just don't hold a poker game without me or I'll have to fire you.  ::Picks up her bag and throws it over her shoulder.::  I'll be on the bridge till it's time to go.  Catch you later.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Ko'tar: No, my love.  He and I are old friends, and we had a friendly challenge and I beat him.  I needed to get myself back together.

Nicholas says:
CMO:  Later... ::Waves as Nita walks out the door.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Making her way to the nearest Turbolift, she enters it.::  Computer:  Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  Commander, in case you are not familiar with the damages that an ion storm can do a starship, perhaps it best I enlighten you.  The storms in this area have been known to increase intensity at a rapid rate.  Your ship will be more secure in an orbit around the planet, Serenity.

Ko’tar says:
CEO: Well, my love.  I will take you as I have said before; even with your three weaker sides I will love you as a Klingon Daughter of the House of Mo'Bri.  Soon we will become as one.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Feels the Turbolift stop and exits.  She notices that everyone is not ready to go.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Notes the Captain on the comm so just goes to his station and takes a seat.:: Self: Hello, old friend.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Ko'tar: No, not yet, my love.  I need some time as I told you and there is a lot of work to be done here on Serenity.  Once the work is completed then we will have time to discuss becoming mated.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: CO: Sir, with all do respect, what happens it the storm hits the planet?  It could be easier to get out of its way in open space.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Glances over and nods to the Chief Medical Officer.::

Ko’tar says:
CEO: I will honor your desire, but I will tell you this much.  You are my intended mate and I will defend you to that point.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  The planet's gravity will provide more stability for your ship.  If you are outside in the ion storm, you will be thrown around like a rag doll.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sees Sumner and smiles.  She walks over.::  CSO:  So Lieutenant, how are you fitting in?

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Looks around at the bridge crew as they stare at him and he feels the pressure building.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Ko'tar: Then I will wait till the two hearts beat as one.  For now we are what Terrans say, "dating".

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Sitting at her station on the bridge.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Nods to Operations with a grin.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Glances over at the Chief Tactical Officer.::  CTO:  You're looking a bit .. pink today, are you not?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Ko'tar: We need to get to our stations.  You in engineering and me on the bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Walks out of Ko'tar's quarters and parts company.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
Thinks to self:  I like the new look.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Simply smiles.:: CO: Sonic shower malfunction.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Enters the turbolift and sends it to the bridge.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CMO: I spend most of my time in my quarters, I play solitary games for fun, and I'm bored. So, the usual. ::Grins.::

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Tugs on his collar.:: COM: Triton CO: Umm.. ummm...

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Peaks back at the Chief Tactical Officer, then grins at Operations.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CTO:  Interesting malfunction.  Maybe you should have our chief engineer take a look at that; although I will admit, I like the new style.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins.:: CSO:  Sounds like I need to find you some recreation then...How about a game of poker once we get back from the surface... or I can find you another boxing match...

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Stifles a laugh as he hears the Captain's comment.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  Trust me on this one, Commander.  You don't want to be caught in the ion storm that is approaching.  I suggest you make haste with your arrival.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CMO: I say we do both. Are there any crazed Klingons about?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CO: I already put in the work order; pink just isn't my color.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Swallows hard and wipes some sweat from his head.::  Kensington FCO: Do as she says.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Almost answers but thinks better of it...she was not sure if the Chief Engineering Officer would take to the joke.::  CSO:  Hmmmm haven't crossed any yet...

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
OPS: What do you think of the Chief Tactical Officer’s new look?

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: Triton CO: Sir, if anything does happen, I am going to be blaming you.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CTO:  Pity, the color looks nice on you.  ::Turns her attention back to the viewscreen.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Steps off the lift onto the bridge and looks at the Chief Tactical Officer and shakes her head.::

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Notices that his hands are pale and wonders if he’s pale all over.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Thinks for a moment.:: CMO: I could probably drive the chief engineer crazy without too much effort...

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles.::  CSO:  Maybe....but remember I don't repair self-inflicted wounds.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  Commander, I would not put you in harm's way if I felt danger was the path.  ::Nods to him.::  I'll see you in a few.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: I heard that.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
FCO:  What look?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Looks to the Chief Engineering Officer.:: CEO: It won't save you! ::Smiles at Commander Santiago.:: CMO: I can make bandages...

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
OPS: Wow, you're an observant man. Look.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: Save me from what?  ::Eyes narrow.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Shrugs slightly.:: CEO: Who knows...

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Eyes focus on the Chief Tactical Officer.::  CTO:  I'd like to know if this is a malfunction or if this someone's doing.  Make sure you put that request onto the work order, Ensign.

ACTION: The Triton receives a hail from the planet.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles and looks and Sumner and Mo'Bri then back to Sumner.::  CSO:  Well I'd get cracking as you will need them I'm thinking.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CMO: I'm scrappy, and a decent runner.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins at him.::

Billy Bob says: 
#COM: Triton: Hey, you folks up there? Helloooo?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Hears the other hail but waits for Operations to respond.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CO: Incoming hail from Serenity.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~CO: Ma'am, I am here on the bridge.  I await your orders.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Begins to run a system wide diagnostic on all engineering systems.::

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
::Turns to the Chief Medical Officer.:: CMO:: So, how are you?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Ponders ways to make the Chief Engineering Officer angry.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
OPS:  Close comm to the Kensington.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes a seat at the other science station.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
OPS: How did a coward like that get a command level position in Starfleet?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CTO:  Monitor the Kensington's approach, please.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: As it seems we have a moment, would you like me to show you the security plans you'll be helping me with.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington FCO: Let go at 1/4 impulse. ::Turns to the science station.:: 
@Kensington CSO: Keep an eye on that storm.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  I'm doing good, and how are you settling in?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
OPS:  Place the comm from what's his name?  Oh yes, Billy Bob, put him through.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CTO: Sure, what've you got?

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
CMO: I'm settling in. I love it here on the Triton. Everyone has treated me so nicely.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CEO:  Be prepared to beam down to the planet's surface once the Kensington arrives.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes a look at the scans of the surface and does a cursory bio scan of the planet.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Opens the channel to Serenity.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: yaj.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CO:  Serenity on audio only, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CEO:  In the meantime, find out what turned our Chief Tactical Officer pink.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  It's a good crew I'm finding.....Oh, were you able to get together with the Admiral?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Serenity Billy Bob:  This is Captain Tierney of the USS Triton.  Our first away team is ready to beam down to the surface if you are ready to have us.

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
CMO: Not yet. The Admiral's been putting me off.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: I would assume it was a prank, Ma'am.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Transfers her plans to his console.:: CSO: So far it is pretty straightforward. I have a tight perimeter of my best people surrounding the construction site at all times. With additional back up from the technical sensors I scooped up.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Sighs noting he's not feeling very accepted....again.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CEO:  Then find out who did it.  I want to know who has so much spare time on their hands.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Ahhhh I thought she would pull that.  Would you like my help on insisting she spend time with you?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Briefly scans the Chief Tactical Officer's plan, and nods.:: CTO: Looks good. Where do you want me?

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
CMO: I think I might need it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Glares at the Flight Control Officer.::

Billy Bob says:
#COM: Triton: CO: Hey there, Ma'am. Just wanted to welcome ya'll to Paradise..err Serenity. The Commander here......ah..er.......oh yes, Jenkins got himself tied up for a bit.  ::A snicker can be heard.::  You have the coordinates so beam away or whatever you people do. See ya'll soon, Captain.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Grabs his chair arms tighter and tighter.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Then you have it.  I've been known to encase "Difficult" people in force fields in order to talk to them.  ::Laughs.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Shrugs innocently at the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Gets up and walks to the captain.::

ACTION: Serenity closes the channel abruptly.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Frowns slightly at the last transmission.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CTO:  Ensign, prepare your team for beam down.  Team two can proceed to the surface as well.  I will wait on the ship until the USS Kensington arrives.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington FCO: ETA to Serenity?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: I would like you to help me monitor the sensors from the planet. I know you were a former Chief Tactical Officer and would know immediately if anything strange showed on them.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
Thinks to self:  Well that was rather abrupt of them to close the channel that way.  I guess they do things differently here.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Gets up from his station, heading for the Turbolift, waiting for the Chief Tactical Officer.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CTO:  How soon till the Kensington arrives?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Prepares for another trip to the brig.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CO: The Kensington is an hour behind now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO:  Ma'am, it was a harmless practical joke between our Flight Control Officer and Chief Tactical Officer.  I did not take part in it but I did tell the Flight Control Officer how to make his cousin’s sonic shower turn her pink.  It was a harmless prank. ::Lowers her eyes and then looks the Captain dead in her eyes not wavering a bit.::  I will accept my punishment for taking part in it.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Hears his Flight Control Officer’s response and wonders if he should increase speed.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
*Tactical Team Alpha*:  All members of Tactical Team Alpha meet me in Transporter Room 1.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Does not lose eye contact as she waits for the Captain's answer.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Gets up and goes to the Turbolift.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Looks between the Chief Tactical Officer, Flight Control Officer and Chief Engineering Officer.::  CEO:  We will deal with this prank later.  No harm was done, but I do wonder about the “too much time” on your hands.  ::Chuckles.::  FCO:  Lucky for you, pink's my favorite color.  Don't do it again.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Well Ensign, looks like it's time to go to the surface.  CEO:  Cmdr Mo'Bri, are you ready?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Slings her back over her shoulder once again and heads for the Turbolift.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: You mean I'm not spending the night in the brig?

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
CMO: Let's do it!

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Enters the Turbolift with the Chief Tactical Officer.:: CTO: We should be extra careful.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Thank you, Ma'am for being kind to him.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington FCO: Increase speed to warp 7; the faster this is over with the better.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Only if you want.  
Self:  Geesh these Andorians have really strange habits.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: Negative, Ma'am, just the previous Captain had a habit of putting me there.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Reaches the Turbolift and turns looking at the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Heads for the turbolift after she closes the engineering station and enters the lift with the Chief Medical Officer.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: Yes, that's why I have enough people on each shift to have only about 10 to 20 feet between perimeter guards.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Well hopefully you will start a new trend.  Remember you are a lieutenant, and with that comes specific obligations.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CTO: No, I mean more than that. I got a bad vibe from that guy on the surface...

Billy Bob says:
#::Wipes his mouth on his sleeve and heads for the beam down point.:: Self: I wonder if these people are into some hard drinking?  Been a while since we had a good party.  Heck, I miss the old days.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Antennae spread curiously as he nods and returns his attention to his station.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: Yeah, it did seem odd. Then of course Serenity is a pleasure planet and some people have strange habits.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CTO:  Ensign, let me know when you are in position please on the surface... Until the Captain comes down, it looks like Halliwell, Mo'Bri and I will be talking to the Commander in charge.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CTO: Better safe than sorry...

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Self: This place has changed.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: True enough.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CTO:  Are we bringing phaser rifles?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Makes sure her d'k tagh is there in its sheath.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
OPS:  Ensign, if you don't call for a duty replacement and get to the transporter room, you will miss all the fun.  ::Smiles at him.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: Yes, my team knows to get theirs before heading to Transporter Room 1, and to bring one for each of us.

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
::Follows behind the Chief Medical Officer.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Computer:  Stop Turbolift.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO: I will keep the security part for the Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CTO: Good, I packed one anyway.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Looks at all assembled.::  All:  Has it become customer to ignore senior officers?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CMO: Yes, Ma'am.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Notes that Operations is a little slow on the uptake.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CO: Yes, Sir, just making final touches to the unloading plans.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO: I did not ignore you, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Rushes out of the bridge to Transporter Room 1.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO: My mind is working on the engineering problems of the small ship yard there.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CTO:  Your reply, “Yes Ma'am”, so it’s your habit to ignore senior officers.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CEO:  That is okay, Commander...

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Nods in respect of the commander.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CMO: I meant yes, Ma'am to your earlier statement. My mind is on what I need to be doing once I reach Serenity.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Sits down in her chair.::  FCO:  Lieutenant, are you going to call for a replacement, or are you going to stay here and keep me company.  Trust me when I tell you that the fun will be on the surface.  ::Grins.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Joins his team in transporter room.::

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington OPS:  Open a channel to the Triton.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Taps her combadge.:: *Ko'tar*: Make sure you have the supplies in order for beam out.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Looks at Salan at the moment.::  CTO:  I may be a doctor, but I'm accustomed to being responded to when I speak...with your mind elsewhere you can miss something that could have effect on the rest of the team.

Host Billy_Bob says:
#::Stares up into the sky.:: Self: Wonder what's keeping them all?  Must be one of those Federation thingys. Hurry up and wait. ::Taps his foot anxiously.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO:  Well Ma'am, I'd prefer to stay her with my favorite Lady, the Triton. It's been a very long time and, you may need me here.

Ko’tar says:
*CEO*: yaj.  Already lined up for you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~CO: I thought you were coming with us.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  This is Captain Tierney.  How may I assist?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CMO: Yes, Ma'am.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::His hands are sliding off his arm rest because of all the sweat.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Computer:  Resume.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  As you wish.  When the Kensington arrives, we will beam down together then.  Thanks for the company.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CTO:  Now let me know when your team is all set up on the surface.  Billy Bob is acting strangely and something is afoot I suspect.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: Triton CO: Sir, we have increased speed to our max to get to your position as soon as possible. I do request that you stay there and insure our safe arrival.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: You're welcome, Ma'am. ::Returns his attention to his station and makes an adjustment to the orbit pattern.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CMO: I will, Ma'am.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods at Salan.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Smiles slightly.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Ponders pranking the Captain.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  The Flight Control Officer and I will beam down once the Kensington arrives.  Take care of the teams down there.~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Feels the Turbolift stop.::  All:  Okay, let's all pile out.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Steps off the Turbolift, heading for the transporter room, where his equipment is already waiting for him.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Exits the lift and sees her team there and grabs the phaser rifle she is handed.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  And by the way, Lieutenant, if you are planning on performing one of those little pranks on me, I would suggest you think otherwise.  ::Grins at him.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Heads into the transporter room.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~CO: I will do as you command, Ma'am and please watch out for the Flight Control Officer.  He is the only old friend I have that has returned to the ship. I would hate to see him in the brig again.~~~

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: Triton CO:  Sir, did you copy. ::Starts to wonder what is talking her so long.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Follows the Chief Medical Officer.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: Why is that, Ma'am?  Being in Command dull your sense of fun?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Taps her combadge.:: *CO*:  Ma'am, we are in the Transporter Room ready to transport... Permission to disembark...

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  I'll take care of the Flight Control Officer.  You take care of my away teams.  Deal?~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~CO: Deal and then dinner is on me.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  I run a ship here, Lieutenant.  Not a playground.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@OPS: Is the channel still open?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  Deal!~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Grins at the Captain’s telepathic response.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: I understand that philosophy, Ma'am, but it takes the edge off and boosts morale.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  Ready to transport.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
*Tactical Team Alpha*: Once we reach the surface, I want you to report immediately to your place in the security perimeter. Either the Chief Science Officer or I will be monitoring the tactical sensors from the base at all times. Call us if you see anything even the least bit odd.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke: We will remain in orbit until you arrive, Commander.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CMO: My Tactical team's ready, Ma'am.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Steps up onto the transporter tab.::  CEO:  Just waiting on the Captain’s permission.  ::Nods at the Chief.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CTO:  Acknowledged....  OPS/CSO:  Ready?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CMO: Yes, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
*Transporter Room*:  Beam the away team down when they are ready.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Steps up.:: CMO: My team is fairly large so it will have to come down in waves after us.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CTO:  Whichever way works Ensign.  ::Smiles::

ACTION: The first of the away teams beams down where Billy Bob is waiting to meet them.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: Triton CO:  Sir, why was there a delay in your answer? Is everything okay?  Is the storm coming sooner that expected?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
#::Shimmers into existence, looking around, keeping his eyes peeled.::

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: CO:  I knew it.  I was right. I got to get this ship out of here.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Monitor communications of the surface if you will.  Make sure Sponge Bob ::chuckles::  doesn't have any issues with the away team's arrival.

Host Billy_Bob says:
#::Smiles as the people stop shimmering.::  All:  Welcome to Serenity folks. ::Eyes the ladies in the group.::  Ladies:  Ah a fine addition to our little world.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Raises an eyebrow as he slaves Operations into his console.:: CO:  On it, Ma'am.

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington FCO: Get us out of here.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#::Materializes and looks around.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
#::Materializes and barely manages to not roll her eyes at Billy Bob's words.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  I was coordinating our away teams to beam to the surface.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
#::Arrives and glares at Billy Bob.::

Host Billy_Bob says:
#::Rubs his hands gleefully.:: All: Who be in charge?

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@COM: CO: Sir, I can't know that for sure, and I'm not going to risk this ship.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
#::Looks to Commander Santiago.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#::Steps up.::  Billy  Bob:  I'm the Senior Officer here, Commander Santiago... and you are?

ACTION: The tactical team beams down and into position.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington Burke:  Commander, if you do not take orbit around the planet, your ship will suffer heavy damage from the ion storm.  Ask your engineering crew for an assessment.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
Thinking to self:  How did this commander get to be Executive Officer?

Host Billy_Bob says:
#::Reaches out and takes her hand and kisses it.:: CMO: A pleasure, Ma'am. Billy Bob Justice at your service.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO:  Is he an anomaly for an Executive Officer?

CNS_Ens_Halliwell says:
#::Standing beside the Chief Medical Officer.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
#::Glances around; he didn't see a need to stay for the meeting, so he leaves to monitor the tactical sensors.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#::Raises an eyebrow at his action and pulls back her hand and smiles.::  Billy Bob:  Thank you... I'm looking for Commander... Ugh what is his name?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
#CMO: Jenkins?

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington OPS: Cut the channel.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#::Grins.:: CEO:  Thank You...  Billy Bob:  Commander Jenkins...

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@::Rubs his head and tries to think clearly.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
#CMO:  Ma'am, permission to tour the perimeter and make sure my Tactical team is getting into position.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#CTO:  Please do... Keep an open comm channel if you please though.  ::Smiles::

Host Billy_Bob says:
#CMO: Ah sorry about the Commander, Ma'am. He got himself in the middle of something and couldn't get away, so he sent ole Billy Bob.  ::Grins.::

Kensington XO_Cmdr_Burke says:
@Kensington FCO: Change course again back to the planet.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#Billy Bob:  That is nice.  Get him or I'm going to make this nice lady...  ::Looks at Mo’Bri::  insist on it.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
#CMO: Yes, Ma'am ::turns and leaves.:: 
#*Transporter Chief*:  Please start beaming my tactical team to their positions.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Notices the channel has been cut, and just shakes her head.::  FCO:  We may be doing some .. ::Notices the Kensington changes course again back to the planet.::  Out loud:  What is he doing?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO:  Probably getting his crew killed.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#CSO:  Scan for Jenkins....

Host Billy_Bob says:
#::Scowls at the Chief Medical Officer.::  CMO:  Hey now, I be doing him a favor by greeting ya'll.  No need to pull nothing.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Well it looks as though he has changed direction again.  If he keeps delaying his arrival, the storm will overtake him.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#Billy Bob:  I've got a cure for that scowl.  ::Smiles::  We've come a long way.  I just want to speak to Jenkins.... ::Waits for a moment.::  Now...

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
#::Hears the commander over the open comm, and pulls out his tricorder, scanning for Jenkins' vital signs.::

Host Billy_Bob says:
# All:  Okay. folks, you can follow me to your bunks where you can stow your gear, that is if ya'll be staying a while?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: We could always threaten an attack to get his cowardly backside here.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#CEO:  Commander...how are your methods of persuasion....  
#Billy Bob:  Commander Jenkins before I become angry.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Nice try, but then I ::emphasis on I:: would be thrown in the brig.  ::Grins.::  We'll just leave him learn from his mistakes.  ::Smiles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
#CMO: Quite good, Sir.

Host Billy_Bob says:
#CMO: You know he ain't gonna like being interrupted, Ma'am.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO:  And if he gets his crew killed?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
#*CMO*: I've located him, Ma'am.  He appears to be in a hotel...

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#Billy Bob:  Yeah, well I can always charge him if he is upset...  ::Taps her combadge.::  *CSO*:  A hotel huh.... alone?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  He is acting commander of his vessel.  Starfleet would not have placed him in that position if he did not earn his way there.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#CEO:  Looks like Billy Bob and Jenkins are playing us.....  I don't think that was very nice do you?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: Really? ::Sounds skeptical.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Really ...

ACTION: The rest of the security people are beamed to their locations.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
#::Starts walking the perimeter, checking with her team.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
#CMO: It is not nice to play with a Klingon.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
#*CMO*: There appears to be someone with him... His life signs are a little agitated...

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#::Taps her combadge.::  *Jenkins:*  This is Commander Santiago... Get your butt out here before I come and get you... If I have to come....I'm court marshaling you... You got to the count of 20.

ACTION: Jenkins fails to respond.
