Summary:

Construction continues on Paradise Station and the crew is still wondering about the "Others" and who or what they are. Are they the cause of the earthquakes?

Sickbay is still filled with more than twenty seven babies from a few days old to several months. What is going to happen to them and can Dr. Santiago take all the crying and why does the Captain want to see her?

Finally Admiral Sheridan is feeling better and is planning on returning to Serenity to see what is happening. She may be in for quite a shock when she hears what's been happening down there.

Weariness is taking over and the Triton crew is feeling the fatigue. They need a couple days off to regenerate and relax, but will they get it?

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in "Building Blocks"....Chapter Fifteen "A Day Off".....Stardate 10707.19

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
::Looks through medic supplies for something to calm him down.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@*CO*:  Of course, Captain.  Everything is pretty quiet here.  I was going to have one more check over on the Admiral, then I was going to have some dinner.  Would you like to join me?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@*Adm*:  Admiral Sheridan, please report to Sickbay.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Lieutenant, I have a favor to ask you.  Can you take charge down here for a few minutes.  I have to go see Commander Santiago.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Busting her britches working on the framework of the base.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:

@*CMO*: I was just thinking the same thing, Commander.  On my way.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::Sitting at a table in the command center.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@*Vice-Admiral*:  I'm shocked that I don't have to threaten you, Ma'am.  ::Laughs.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  Good job.  ::Leans in closer to him, and whispers.::  Don't kill anyone while I'm away, okay?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Nods to a few of the security personnel as he walks by.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CO: I can't make any promises, but I'll try not to. ::Smiles and nods.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out loud: Watch it you fool.  ::Watches as an inept Ensign lets the beam fall.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Heads out of her quarters and to the nearest turbolift.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
*AT*:  All away team members, I am leaving Lieutenant Salan in charge while I take care of some business on the ship.  If you have any issues, please see him.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  They're all yours, Lieutenant.  Break a leg.
*Transport Chief*:  One to beam up Chief.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*:  Understood.  Oh Captain, please tell Ko'tar I need him here on the surface.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
*CEO*:  Comm him and have him sent down, Commander.  I have some urgent matter I need to discuss with Commander Santiago.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Moves over to the beam and nearly takes the young ensign's head off.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*:  Understood.

ACTION:  Commander Burke failed to adjust the dosage on the hypo and over medicates himself.  He suddenly begins to shake and falls to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
::Eyes black out and collapses.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Notices the Kensington Executive Officer falling to the ground foaming at the mouth just as she's beamed.::  FCO:  Good luck!  

ACTION:  The Captain is beamed back to the Triton.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Ko'tar*:  I need you here on the surface.  Make yourself available in a hurry.  I need you here.

EO_Ko’tar says: 
@*CEO*:  yaj.  Be there in a few.  Ko'tar out.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Enters sickbay and spots the doc.::  CMO: Commander, here I am. ::Grins.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Nods to the Transporter Chief, and heads out toward a nearby Turbolift ordering it to Sickbay.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Taps his comm badge.::  *Duty OPS*:  Medical emergency, beam Commander Burke directly to sickbay. He gave himself an unknown hypospray.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says: 
@::Grins.:: Vice-Admiral:  Ahhhh right on time... I see you are feeling better.. ::Pulls out her tricorder.::  Hop on the bed...

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Shakes head as she shoves the mummified ensign out of the way and uses an anit-grav unit to hoist the beam into place for the other ensign to make it fast.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Sees that everything is in order and makes his way to the operations building.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Hops on the bed.::  CMO:  Much better, thank you.  In fact, I'm hoping you'll release me so I can get back to work.

ACTION:  Commander Burke is beamed to sickbay.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Taps his comm badge again.::  *CTO*:  Ensign Salor, Report!

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Scans her as the Kensington Executive Officer is beamed to the sickbay.  Nicolas rushes to his side.::  Vice-Admiral:  Readings look good.  Anymore headaches?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Exits the Turbolift, and walks down the corridor to sickbay.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
*FCO*:  I was just on my way, Lieutenant.  ::Walks in the door to the building and walks up to the Flight Control Officer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
@::Ko'tar makes his way to the transporter room with his large tool box and his duffel bag.::

Nicholas says: 
@::Scans the Kensington Executive Officer and shakes his head...mutters.:: Self:  Damn fool.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO: How are things progressing, Ensign?

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@CMO: Nothing I can't tolerate.  I think it was more stress than anything.

EO_Ko’tar says:
@Transporter Chief:  Beam me down to the Chief Engineering Officer's location now.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Enters sickbay, and sees the Kensington Executive Officer on the table and sighs.  Gives a salute to the Admiral, and waits her turn patiently.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Hands over a padd.::  FCO: This is the latest progress report.  Everything is checking out to mission parameters.

Nicholas says:
@::Adjusts another hypospray on the tray and injects him to counteract the drug.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Looks over at  Commander Burke.::  CMO:  Maybe you should see to Commander Burke.  He doesn't look well at all.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO:  Have you seen any indication of the 'Others'?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
FCO:  Nothing to report, Lieutenant.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Nods.::  Vice-Admiral:  Understandably so.  A lot has happened.  ::Looks over.::  Ahhhh Nicholas has him in hand....

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO:  Keep your eyes peeled, I want to know the instance there's even a hint of them coming back.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  Hello, Captain..  ::Smiles::

ACTION:  Ko'tar is beamed to the surface.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Good to see you, Commander.  
@VADM:  Admiral, you too.

CTO_Ens_Salor says: 
FCO:  Eyes peeled?  
Thinks to Self:  Must be more of that human colorful language.  Of course my staff will be watching at all times.

Nicholas says:
@All:  It looks like he overdosed on a pain killer.  I've counteracted the drug, but he will be loopy for a bit as he comes down.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  Captain, when you have a few moments, I would like an update on things.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Vice-Admiral:  Of course, Ma'am.  I just need to get updated with the medical situation, and then I'll come find you.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO:  Have you seen Lieutenant Gaeb?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Sees Ko'tar materialize.::  Ko'tar:  Ah good, I need you here.  These Ha'DIbaH [Animals] don't know what they are doing!

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
FCO:  No, I have not.  I have been out on patrol.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@Nicolas:  Did he do any damage to his organs?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  You seem very busy, doc.  Would you like me to come back?  Is this a bad time?

Nicholas says:
@CMO:  Doesn't seem so....

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Taps his badge.::  *OPS*:  Lieutenant Gaeb, what is your location and status?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  No, no, Captain.  I've got a great staff, and I was just about to release the Admiral back to duty.

EO Ko’tar says:
CEO:  Yes, J'Loni, they really don't know what they are doing.  I will supervise.  You need rest.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Vice-Admiral:  Will you be joining us on the planet then, Admiral?

ACTION:  Burke regains consciousness but seems to be still out of things as he mumbles something about babies and Romulan ale.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Ko'tar: I need rest true, but this takes priority.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO: I have been trying to integrate some human expressions into my line of thinking to better connect with some of the crew.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@CO:  If the doc here gives me the green light, I will.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Picks up his head.::  Out loud:  Another rounnnndd here…. ::Head falls back down on the bed.::

EO Ko’tar says:
CEO: J'Loni, you need rest.  You have been going for 72 hours and you need rest.  Please get some rest.  I can handle these Ha'BIdaH {Animals} here.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
*FCO*:  I am sitting in C&C and I am allocating the manpower for today’s work.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Chuckles::  Vice-Admiral:  I'll give you a yellow light instead.  If the headaches get worse I want you to come back here.  Other than that, you can go to the planet should you desire to.

Nicholas says:
@Kensington XO:  You've had too many rounds so far.  What pain killers were you taking?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Working a console looking at the perimeter looking for any opening that might be there and never looking up.::  FCO: I find human expressions a waste of my skills to understand.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Smiles at the Admiral.::  Vice-Admiral:  I would take it, Ma'am.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
*OPS*: Very good, could you continually monitor sensors? I don't want the Others sneaking up on us again.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@CMO: Thank you doctor.  I promise to be a good little Admiral. ::Smiles and hops off the bed.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Looks at Ko'tar and knows he is right.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Chuckles.::  All:  I haven't met an Admiral yet who listens to their friendly neighborhood doctor.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@Nicolas: Pain medication eh?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO:  Oh, but Ensign Salor, you can adapt so much better to your human crewmates if you do so, and they'll adapt a bit to you.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Pats the doctor's shoulder.::  CMO:  There's a first time for everything, but this may not be it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Ko'tar: Okay, but only for a few minutes and then I have to return.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@Kensington XO:  Yeah pain medication.  You are here because you OD'd.  Tell me.......

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Smiles at the Admiral.::

EO Ko’tar says:
CEO:  No J'Loni, you need more than a few minutes.  You need a good night's sleep, my mate.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Chuckling some more.::  Vice-Admiral:  I didn't think it would be, Ma'am.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Still looking at the console.::  FCO:  One would have to have a need to adapt first.  I am merely doing my duty, not to socialize.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Rolls of the bed.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Looks over at Burke again.::  CMO:  Will he be alright?

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
*FCO*:  I'll set a proximity alarm and monitor the sensors.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant Gaeb, I'd also like an update on the Geological Survey you've been conducting as soon as you have any.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Looks over.:: Vice-Admiral:  I suspect so.  If it was more than what Nicholas said, there would be a full team including myself over there.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Nods at Ko'tar and heads for the Operations center.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
*FCO*: It will take some time for the teams to complete the drillings and then the scanning will also take some time but I'll forward everything I get.

ACTION:  More and more supplies arrive at the building site and the locals begin looking through crates and getting in the way.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
*OPS*: Thank you, Lieutenant.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Tries to pull himself off the floor.::

EO Ko’tar says:
Civilian: Hey, you get away from those crates.

Security Guy says: 
Civilians:  Hey, get away from there.  ::Moves in to scatter them out.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Taps his badge again.:: *CEO*:  Salan to Mo'Bri.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@CMO:  Please be sure he is.  We can't afford to lose another Kensington officer.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*FCO*: Yes, Tanon?

Nicholas says:
@::Motions for two orderlies to come and pull the Kensington Executive Officer off the floor.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Continues to walk slowly towards the Operations center.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@CO: Captain, shall we go?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
*CEO*:  How is the construction going?  Are we on schedule?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Smiles.::  Vice-Admiral:  I will in a moment.  I want to know why he OD’d.   
@CO:  You wanted to see me, Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Vice-Admiral:  Can I catch up with you in a few minutes, Admiral?  There is something that I need to speak to the doc about.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@CO:  Very well, I shall see you later.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*FCO*: Tanon we are on schedule but Ko'tar is in charge for now.  I need some rest.  I am on my way to the Operations center now.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Vice-Admiral:  Thanks, Admiral.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  A moment in private if you will?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Hears the report coming in about the civilians.::  *Security Guy*:  What seems to be the trouble?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  Of course, Captain, we can step into my office.  ::Motions the Captain towards the door on the far right.::

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Gets back on the bed and has one of his legs hanging off.::  Out loud: Where is the Orion girls?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO:  Lieutenant Gaeb is setting some proximity alarms.  I want you to tie in with those so you'll know anything as soon as he does without any need for communications.

Security Guy says:
*CTO*:  Some civilians are getting in the way of the new shipment of supplies.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Heads toward the doctor's office, and waits for her to enter.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
FCO:  Very well, Lieutenant.

Nicholas says:
@Kensington XO:  They ran away when they saw you.  ::Gets all the limbs onto the bed.::  
@Computer:  Erect forcefield around the Commander.  He is not to get out of bed again.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
@::Heads for the transporter room and has the chief beam her to the building site.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Enters her office.::

EO Ko’tar says:
Civilian: Get away from those crates. ::Makes a menacing move and the civilian moves off.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::Programs the sensors’ computer to transmit an alarm message when  transporters are being used that are not from the Triton or the Kensington.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Tired and dirty and sweat soaked, J'Loni arrives at the Operations center.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Tying in the alarms to all comm badges of his staff while talking to his man.::  *Security Guy*:  Then I suggest you move them along and clear everyone that’s not suppose to be out there.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@Nicholas:  Run away?  ::Turns his head toward the nurse and slams his head into a forcefield.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO: You look......overworked.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO: Tanon, what is going on with all these civilians?  They are getting into everything.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO: I am, Tanon. 72 hours straight.

Nicholas says:
@::Chuckles at the Kensington Executive Officer.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  What can I do for you, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  I have a something I wanted to ask you.  ::Closes the door, pauses, and then sighs.::  I know you have command experience.  I need some advice on how to deal with .. with .. ::looks out a window at the Kensington Executive Officer::  with that!

Security Guy says: 
::Motions a few more of the team to move in and tries to push them back.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO: Let Ensign Salor worry about the security. Go ahead and get a shower and a hot meal.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO: I think we need to double up on security, Ensign.  What do you think?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  He's not part of my crew, so I can not relieve him.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO: I left Ko'tar in charge since he is my next in command in engineering.  I need to sleep.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
::Arrives near the temporary command center and looks around.:: All: Who is in charge here?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  This is all so new to me, and so sudden.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Looks out the window over to the Kensington Executive Officer.::  CO:  Yep he is a special one alright.... ::Thinks a moment then smiles.::  But I can.  He is not medically fit for command right now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
ALL: Admiral on deck!!!

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Snaps to.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO:  Do yourself a favor, Commander.  Allow yourself rest more often.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Starts to remove his uniform top.:: Out loud: It's so hot in here.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Snaps to.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
FCO: Though I require not much sleep.  The rest of my staff are already at the limits. But I'll see what I can do to tighten it up.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Leaves out a deep sigh of relief.::  CMO:  I think you've just become my best friend, doc.  ::Chuckles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Admiral:  Good to see you again, Ma'am.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
::Waves at the Chief Engineering Officer to stand down.:: CEO: You as well, Commander. Now, can you tell me who is in charge here?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  I also got command that I didn't want...unfortunately the only way to muddle through.....is to muddle through.  Just remember you will make mistakes and if you have the trust of the crew....you will get through them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Admiral: The Flight Control Officer is in charge, Ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Relaxes.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Clears his throat and nods to the Vice-Admiral.:: Vice-Admiral: That would be me, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Thank you, Commander.  It means a lot to me.  There is something else that I needed you for, if you don't mind.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  I actually wonder how he made Executive Officer... He doesn't seem to have the fortitude to make the big decisions.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  I believe he was thrust into the role before he was ready.  

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Name again, please?  I seem to have forgotten.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Turns from his console and acknowledges the Vice Admiral.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral: Lieutenant Junior Grade Tanon Salan, Ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Admiral: His name is Tanon, Ma'am.

Nicolas says:
@::Walks off to do something else.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  Yes, Ma'am?

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
::Nods.::  FCO:  Tanon.......hmmm.  ::Pauses a moment.::  Well Tanon, can you fill me in on things here?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  I've had the pleasure of getting to know the crew during this past mission, Commander.  And I have found that you have performed your duties above and beyond the call of duty since I have arrived on this vessel.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Uses his shirt to wipe the sweat off his bare chest with his uniform shirt.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Smiles and blushes a bit.::  CO:  Thank you, Captain.  That means a lot.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Goes back to his screen and arranges a new security net that would logically be more affective.::

ACTION: The medical staff stare at Commander Burke's chest as there appears to be something unusual there.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  For your actions on the planet Serenity during the away mission, I would like to present you with a Captain's Letter of Commendation for your Lifesaving and Honorable Acts.  I have a plaque for you, but it's in the Operations Office on the planet.  I'll be sure you get it.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Starts to undo his pants.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral: With pleasure, Ma'am. Lieutenant Gaeb is conducting a Geological survey and he's set up proximity alarms to alert us if the Others, as everyone refers to them, return. I've had Ensign Salor tie in with those sensors so Security will be notified instantly. Construction is progressing according to the Schedule and Commander Mo'Bri has just been relieved to get some rest.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Surprised by the gesture.:: CO:  Thank you, Ma'am.  I was just doing my job...I never got a reward for throwing people into the brig before.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
FCO:  If Ko'tar needs me, wake me immediately.

Nicholas says:
@::Comes back as the nurse motions to him, then stares at Burke’s chest.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CEO: I'm sure he will be quite capable of handling things while you rest.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Chuckles.::  CMO:  To be honest, when I first came here I started out as the Executive Officer, and I was not prepared to step up to being Captain.  I must say that was a total surprise for me as well.  It was a little scary at first, but I'm getting used to it .. I think.  ::Smiles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Snaps a salute.:: Admiral: I will leave you now.  ::Walks towards the construction area.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Smiles.:: CO:  Between you and me, Ma'am, you are doing a fine job.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Thank you, Commander.  There is something else.  ::Grins.::  I would also like to present you with the Starfleet Surgeons Medal for your endeavors to rescue the women and children on Serenity during extreme conditions, and for seeing to the safety of the crew during this time.  Your talents are greatly appreciated.

Nicholas says:
@::Laughs out loud.::  All:  Why am I not surprised!!?  The man’s a mama's boy.  That explains everything.  ::Walks away shaking his head.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Sounds like things are going well here.  Are you enjoying your  mission here?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Pulls a small box out of her pocket containing the medal and hands it to her.::  CMO:  Now this one, I was able to smuggle in here.  ::Offers it to her, and holds out her hand for a handshake.::  Congratulations, Commander.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Removes his pants and lays down on the bio-bed.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Thank you, Commander, for all that you do.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Genuine smile.::  CO:  Now those are the medals I like to get.  ::Takes the medal and shakes the Captains hand.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Gets something to eat and showers.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral: I haven't given myself a chance to relax as of yet, Ma'am. As I was the only one to see the Others when they showed up, I have felt that I would be doing the crew an injustice if I were to not stay focused on the progress of the construction.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Now if you're not too busy, would you like to see how we are progressing on Serenity?  I've had you cooped up here for a long time.  I think you deserve some fresh air.

EO Ko’tar says:
Ensign Thomas:  Put that beam here and make it fast.  I will get the other one.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Hears her tummy rumble.::  CO:  I do... Tessie and Nicholas have things under control here.  They have any food down there?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self: Ko'tar will make them work their tails off.  ::Smiles as she eats.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO: These "Others" .. did they speak?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Rubs her stomach.::  CMO:  You know, I don't even know.  I haven't had a chance to eat myself.  I knew there was something I was forgetting.  ::Laughs.::

FCO_LtJG_Salan says: 
Vice Admiral: Not a word, Ma'am. They just showed up, did some peculiar things with a staff, and left, leaving only a trail of dust.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Perks his left ear at the question while going over the latest reports coming in from his team leaders.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Thinks a moment.::  CO:  Let me get a hold of the chef.  He owes me a picnic.   I'll get him to send something fresh down for the whole crew.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Remembers something.::  *CO*: Captain?  When you have the chance can I speak with you?

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Peculiar things?  Please tell me more.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
CTO:  Ensign, coordinate with Lieutenant Gaeb.  See if there is a way to maximize security. Perhaps use some of the Kensington's security personnel.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  That sounds wonderful.  ::Hears the comm.::  Shall I wait for you?  ::Motions to her comm badge.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@*CEO*:  I'll be right with you, Commander.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
FCO: That would be a help.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*:  Understood, Ma'am.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  I'll make the comm while you take you call.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral:  Well there were tremors happening before they arrived.  And when they arrived and did what they did with that staff, the tremors stopped. Could've been a coincidence, but I am not writing anything off.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Very well.  See you in a few then.  I'll wait for you in Transporter Room 1.  I'm going to take it along the way, if you don't mind; maybe take a slow stroll.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Did you see what they looked like?  Anyone Starfleet might be interested in?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
OPS:  Contact the Kensington and have them send whatever security staff that they can lend.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@CO:  That works for me.  ::Pulls her console towards her as she contacts the chef.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Exits the doc's office and heads out into the hallway, tapping her comm badge when she's clear of sickbay.::  *CEO*:  Commander?  You needed to speak to me?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*: Yes, Ma'am.  Are you returning to the surface soon?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral:  Speculation is that the two shorter of the three were Ferengi, but that is just speculation because no one could see their faces. The taller one, could've been any humanoid species. I have my own theories but they are just theories.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@*CEO*:  I'll be there shortly.  Is there a problem?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*: I would like to speak with you in private.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*:  No, Ma'am.  I have some good news for you.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  I see.  ::Shifts from one foot to the other.::  Ferengi you say.  I don't like the sound of that one bit.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Makes the deal with the Chef to have the food beamed down in 1/2 hour.  Gets up and heads out into the main sickbay.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@*CEO*:  If there is nothing of an urgent matter, I will see you in a few moments when I make my way to the surface.  I'll be beaming down with the doctor, but I think I can find some time to meet with you alone.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@Nicholas:  Nicholas, I'm heading down to the surface.  You got sickbay and do something about Burke, will ya.  He is scaring the babies.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*:  Thank you, Ma'am.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Starts to snore and scratches his butt.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
COM: Kensington: This is planet-base C&C.  We would require more security teams here.  Can you spare a few?

Nicholas says:
@CMO:  Will do, Nita.  Have fun on the surface, not that the rest of us are jealous or anything.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral:  Well, Ma'am, based on some of the information we've gathered about the children, specifically the babies being taken and rumored to be sold on the black market, I think we have to seriously consider the Orion Syndicate as a possibility.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Laughs and heads out of sickbay with a wave.  She heads for the nearest turbolift.::

ACTION:  As Burke scratches, a rash is developing...it's nasty.

Host Kensington OPS says: 
#COM: Paradise Station OPS:  We really don't have a big team here.  I'll see what I can manage.  Kensington out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Finishes eating and goes back to the Operations Center to wait for the Captain.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Enters the Turbolift.::  Computer:  Transporter room.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Takes a slow walk toward a turbolift and waits for it to open.  Enters, and watches as the door closes behind her, enjoying the peace and quiet from inside the Turbolift as she is alone.  Waits a bit before ordering the Turbolift to the appropriate deck the Transport Room is on.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Any information from the locals?  I see a lot of them around here.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral: From what I've seen, the locals don't want to talk about it. They seem afraid.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Rolls over and hits the forcefield which jolts him awake.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Afraid?  What about that Commander.......what's his name that met you?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Exits the Turbolift as it stops and starts walking down the hallway toward Transporter Room 1.::

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Looks around confused.::  Out loud:  Where am I?

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
::Looks at the Vice Admiral.::  Vice Admiral: Do you really want my candid opinion of him?

ACTION:  Burke's rash now covers all of his middle section.  It's extremely itchy.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::The Turbolift stops and she gets out.  Heads for the Transporter room and enters just after the Captain.::  CO:  Ahhh there you are.  There will be fresh salad, garlic bread and spaghetti and meatballs in 1/2 hour for us to munch on.

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO: You have a problem with... ::searches for the name.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Turns around just as the doc calls out to her.::  CMO:  How's that for timing?!  Oh I love spaghetti and meatballs.  It's my favorite Terran dish.  How did you know?

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Starts to rub his mid-side.::  Self:  What the heck?

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
@::Laughs as she steps up onto the transporter padd.::  CO:  I didn't...it's one of my favorites also.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral: It's my opinion that Commander Burke will one day get a lot of good officers killed, Ma'am. If you witnessed half of the things I have, you'd likely bust him down to Cadet.

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::Hits the forcefield again and realizes that he’s been locked up.:: Out loud: Drop this force field right now!

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CMO:  Small world, doc.  ::Chuckles and steps onto the transporter pad.::  
@Transporter Chief:  Two to beam down, Lieutenant.

Nicholas says:
@::Ignores Burke.::

Host Vice-Admiral Sheridan says:
FCO:  Lieutenant, do you realize you are talking about a Starfleet Command Officer?

ACTION:  The doctor and the Captain are beamed away to the surface.

FCO_LtJG_Salan says:
Vice Admiral: You asked for my opinion, Ma'am. I won't lie to a superior officer.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Materializes on the surface.::

Kensington_XO_Burke says:
@::As he yells, he see his clothing has been removed.::  Self:  What the ...?  ::Grabs his clothes and uses it to cover his body.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Feels herself materialize on Serenity.::  CMO:  Well, we're back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Waits for the Captain.::

ACTION: Just as the doctor and the Captain arrive, the earth rumbles again. The local inhabitants begin running and the siren sounds.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  So it would seem. ::Looks around for dust clouds.::  Let's hope we get no more...... ::Walks quicker.::  Guess I spoke too soon.
