USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10406.22
Episode 1

A Mystery to Unfold…

The Vesuvius bid farewell to one of her own having held services for deceased Samuel Quinn Kelson, beloved Captain of the Vesuvius.  The word had somehow gotten out, and there were many ships awaiting the Vesuvius when she emerged from the Nebula.

Now, the attendees have left the Vesuvius after Captain Kelson's body was transported to Admiral Royce's ship the Atlantis.  It now streaks to New Mecca where Sam will be laid to eternal rest.

Now the Vesuvius departs towards her location, enroute the Arimus Sector to meet with President Rhygar.  He was sent Admiral Royce a message that a life pod had been retrieved.  It's single occupant only muttered the words, “Admiral Royce, Federation” over and over.

Admiral Royce is joining the Vesuvius in an advisory capacity since she feels she must be there since the pod's occupant keeps repeating her name.

The Vesuvius is currently 15 hours from the Arimus Sector and flying at warp 6.

OPS Varn says:
:: Hears the FCO doing something and his ears perk up ::

ACO Stricker says:
:: Turns over and sees the CIV behind him ::   CIV: I hope you're not going to use that here Mister.

FCO Lorehani says:

TO Raja says:
:: Crinkles his nose and begins to breath through his mouth to help not smell ::

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS:  Well Ensign Varn welcome to the Vesuvius.  I sure hope you show up more then your counterpart did...Slaving OPS was not the highlight of my day.   :: Leans over and whispers ::    Can you turn the channel to the galaxy Soap Opera, "Where the Wind Blows"?  Ronick tonight is delivering her lovers baby while her husband plots her demis.. It's a real

CSO Lane says:
:: Pats Commander's head ::   Commander: I have to go to work now boy. Promise to be a good boy.

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: Nail biter.

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: Alright, is there any specific departments you can help in more?

CSO Lane says:
<Commander>:: Stands in front of the door blocking her way ::

TO Raja says:
:: Checks his boot to make sure he did not step in something ::

OPS Varn says:
FCO: I'm...not sure I should, and thank you   :: Tries to keep from growling low in his
throat ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Wonders why a spider is going up the water spout.  Is the spider stupid? ::

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS:  Ah, Varny…live a little.  I'm betting Stricker is a closet soap fan.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Sets the rabbit on the side and then stands up to take a walk around. ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Feels a pair of eyes burning into his back and turns around trying to find them ::

TO Raja says:
:: Looks up and sees the cause of the colorful odor ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Anything really. But I was your former CEO. I am good in Engineering, Tactical Operations, Infiltration, information gathering and helping out where I can.

CSO Lane says:
Commander: Aw, don't be like that boy. I have to go now.

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: My ears are burning...   :: Giggles ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Beginning to like the FCO already, she's crazy ::   FCO: Maybe not in my first ten minutes on the bridge, Lt?

TO Raja says:
Self: I see they let anybody join Star-r-rfleet.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   ACO: That is because I'm talking about you Sir.   :: Chuckles ::

CIV Tyret says:
:: Looks at the FCO like she lost the sensible part of her Andorian brain ::

CSO Lane says:
<Commander>:: Growls and couches as Hope nears the door ::

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: The first 10 minutes is the best part.

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: Oh yes I remember now. I thought you looked familiar. Take Science until our Chief Science officer gets to the bridge. She is late right now.

OPS Varn says:
:: Stares back at the TO and ignores him, since he's obviously not Antican ::

TO Raja says:
:: Looks back down and tries to do some work ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Aye Sir.   :: Salutes ::

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: Varny…tell me why would a spider climb up the water spout?

TO Raja says:
Self: Dogs...

OPS Varn says:
Self: I will ignore him, we are shipmates...but that tail!

CMO Bannister says:
:: Decides that he's thirsty. ::   Computer: Arch.   :: He leaves the holodeck. ::

OPS Varn says:
FCO: Spiders? I have no idea Lt...maybe because it's there?

CIV Tyret says:
:: Moves to the Science station and straps his sword to his belt ::

TO Raja says:
:: Flicks tail faster showing his uncomfortable demeanor ::

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: About what might I ask?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grunts ::   OPS: Huh, kinda a dumb reason don't you think.  Do you jump off cliffs because it's there?

CSO Lane says:
:: Opens the door and tries to get by the dog ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Walks towards the turbolift and enters it. ::   Computer:  Lava Lounge.

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: If you have any question don't be afraid to ask.

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO: Kinda thought you may want to catch the latest episode of "Where the Wind blows.." today Sir.  It's suppose to be a good one.

OPS Varn says:
:: Tries to fight off the urge to pounce on that tail, it looks like a hot dog ::   FCO: Of course not Ma'am   :: This isn't what they taught them to expect at the Academy ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Aye Sir. I won't.

CSO Lane says:
<Commander> :: Wags his tail and grabs his leash from the basket by the door ::

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: "Where the Wind Blows"….  Is that a novel?

CSO Lane says:
Commander: I don't have time to walk you now boy. Please go back and lie down.

OPS Varn says:
:: Tries to keep his mind on his job, shifting power to a science experiment that requests it ::

CIV Tyret says:
FCO: Pull up your music files to Earth, particularly songs by Lynard Skynard. You might enjoy them.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks at Varny and looks at Raja. ::   TO/OPS:  Ensigns...do you two need phaser’s at 10 paces.  The last one standing is the top dog or feline whichever the case may be?

CSO Lane says:
<Commander>:: Growls again ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Waits while the turbolift takes him where he instructed it to. ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Startled he looks at the FCO ::   FCO: No, Lt, I don't believe so   :: Tries not to howl ::

CSO Lane says:
Commander: Well I'm not sure what the ACO will say about it, but c'mon.   :: Reaches down and snaps his leash on ::

TO Raja says:
FCO: I would hate to har-r-rm the little puppy

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Aghast ::   ACO: You don't know "Where the Wind Blows..."?  It's only the most popular Galactic Soap Opera in history.  The Klingons even rate it on par with Shakespeare.  So you know it must be good.

OPS Varn says:
Self: Little Puppy outweighs him by a good 20 lbs

CIV Tyret says:
:: Begins scans of the nearby space ::

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: I prefer not to watch soap opera. I'd rather run my Hinalayan spiritual quest in the holodeck…but each to his own eh?

CSO Lane says:
:: Hops in the turbolift and heads for the bridge, Commander in tow ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks at the two of them again. ::   OPS/TO:  Well when the two of you want to go at it let me know so I can set up the betting booths...   :: Looks again ::   Ok?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   ACO:  You don't know what you are missing Sir.

OPS Varn says:
FCO: Of course Ma'am   :: Is agitated and growls more ::

TO Raja says:
Self: Why bet on a sur-r-re thing?

ACO Stricker says:
:: Giggles at the FCO ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Steps onto the bridge and walks to the ACO ::   ACO: Sir, I have a request of you.   :: Looks down at the dog ::

CIV Tyret says:
FCO: What is this "soap opera"?  Some kind of hygiene product?

ACO Stricker says:
:: Looks at Commander ::   CSO: Does it have something to do with a dog?

CMO Bannister says:
:: Leaves the turbolift and heads towards the ship's crew lounge ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Goes back to monitoring comm channels ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::   ACO: Yes sir. He misses the Captain a great deal, and won't leave my side.

CIV Tyret says:
:: Reads up on the previous mission of the Vesuvius in the Arimus System ::

CSO Lane says:
ACO: May he stay with me for now?

FCO Lorehani says:
CIV:  Well let me educate you....   :: Thinks these people are pagans ::   It's an ongoing story about a group of people.  Right now, Ronick is about to deliver her lover's baby...Ronick is a beautiful Betazoid in love with a Human but is married to a stogy Vulcan.

ACO Stricker says:
CSO: I'll make an exception for you.

FCO Lorehani says:
CIV: But the Human...Rice...is being hunted by the Tal Shiar because he killed one of their operatives and stole an important poison they were going to use to poison the Federation President.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The time has passed and the Vesuvius now finds herself approaching the Arimus Sector...

CIV Tyret says:
:: Even though he is Andorian, He raises an eyebrow ::

ACO Stricker says:
:: Sitting in the Captain’s chair ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sits at her station, Commander sleeping peacefully by her feet ::

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO: Sir, we are approaching the Arimus Sector.

OPS Varn says:
:: Now that they're closer really pays attention to the comm ::

CIV Tyret says:
:: At the ACO's side ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Brings the ship out of warp. ::   ACO:  Going to Impulse power.

CSO Lane says:
ACO: Beginning scans of the Sector sir.

Host Sygar says:
:: Detects an incoming vessel ::   COM: Ship: Identify yourself

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: Take a standard orbit above the fourth planet please.

TO Raja says:
:: Scans the area for any possible dangers to the ship ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Is on the bridge, sitting in the usual Counselor's seat. ::

OPS Varn says:
ACO: Comm signal coming in Sir

ACO Stricker says:
OPS: On viewer

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO: Aye Sir...   :: Adjusts course a bit as she turns down the music...Elvis. ::

OPS Varn says:
ACO: Aye Sir   :: Puts the call on the viewer ::

Host Sygar says:
ACTION: The head of a dragon fills the screen...

Host Sygar says:
COM: Ship: Identify yourself!

CIV Tyret says:
CSO: Would it possible to avoid the ship from the Vesuvius' last mission in the Arimus System, using the power transfer beam to use the power it displaces to keep us operational so we can get a good look at it?

ACO Stricker says:
COM: This is Commander Timothy Stricker, Acting Commanding Officer of the USS Vesuvius, we are receiving you message, over.

OPS Varn says:
:: Makes sure the channel stays open and strong ::

Host Sygar says:
COM: Ves: President Rhygar awaits your arrival.  Proceed to the 4th planet.

CSO Lane says:
CIV: In one word, no.

CIV Tyret says:
CSO: Interesting.

ACO Stricker says:
COM: Sygar: We are taking orbit on that planet. Do we have permission to transport down, over?

CMO Bannister says:
:: Looks over at Lorehani and smiles softly. ::

CSO Lane says:
ACO: Sensors show no ships in the system sir, except us.

TO Raja says:
ACO: My sensor-r-rs show nothing so far-r-r. It is all clear-r-r

Host Rhygar says:
:: Receives a message from the outer station ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Monitors for any ship to ship or ship to ground communications and finds none ::   ACO: No signs of any other communications Sir

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Pretty quiet.

Host Rhygar says:
ACTION: The Ves receives in incoming message

OPS Varn says:
ACO: I spoke to soon, another comm, Sir

ACO Stricker says:
:: Nods at the comments of the crew, thinking ::   OPS: Put it on screen.

OPS Varn says:
ACO: Aye Sir   :: Puts the signal on ::

Host Rhygar says:
ACTION: The large head of President Rhygar fills the screen...

Host Rhygar says:
COM: Ves: I welcome you back to Arimus, Captain Kelson!  I hope you and your crew are well?

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks up and sees Rhygar and remembers their mission there ::

ACO Stricker says:
COM: Rhygar: President, Captain Kelson was killed before we began this mission. This is Commander Timothy Stricker, Action Commanding officer.

CIV Tyret says:
:: Studies the president ::

Host Rhygar says:
:: Gets as somber a look as a dragon can get.  His multi-faceted eyes whirl in shades of green for distress ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Smiles at the sight of Rhygar. ::

Host Rhygar says:
:: Nods ::   COM: ACO: I'm sorry for your loss, Commander.  We are prepared to receive your party when you are ready.  Here are the coordinates...    :: Nods to someone off-screen ::

TO Raja says:
Self: They ar-r-re some big lizar-r-rds

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Remembers her last encounter with the dragons...snarls because it wasn't pleasant. ::

CSO Lane says:
<Commander>:: Crawls across the deck and sits at Varn's side wagging his tail ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees Commander and panics ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Feels another canine presence and reaches down to pet Commander ::

CIV Tyret says:
:: Looks at the furry animal, strange it seems almost like a Targ ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Whispers ::   Commander, come back here!

ACO Stricker says:
ALL: Get those coordinates and transport down our crew which will consist of myself, the CIV, CMO and FCO. Are there any objections?

OPS Varn says:
:: While keeping his eyes on communications ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Are you certain there is no danger?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Stiffens because she can't believe Stricker will take her on another away mission.  Especially after the last time. ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Starfleet can't afford to lose another Captain.

ACO Stricker says:
TO: Will there be any security concerns?

CMO Bannister says:
:: Shakes his head, enjoying as always working alongside the blue FCO. ::

OPS Varn says:
CSO: He's fine Ma'am   :: Softly ::

ACO Stricker says:
OPS: Tell the President to stand by, we will be down shortly.

OPS Varn says:
ACO: Aye Sir

TO Raja says:
ACO: R-r-reviewing mission logs and with the cur-r-r-rent conditions, I do not see anything that would be a cause for-r-r concer-r-rn

OPS Varn says:
COM: Rhygar: Commander Stricker and his party will beam down shortly, President Rhygar

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: ETA until we are in full orbit and in transport range?

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  Hmmm Sir...I'm just reaching the planet now.  Another couple minutes.

CSO Lane says:
:: Motions to Commander to come back ::

Host Rhygar says:
COM: Ves: We await your arrival...

TO Raja says:
ACO: I do r-r-r-ecommend a secur-r-rity detail if you ar-r-e going down, sir-r-r

Host Rhygar says:
ACTION: The viewscreen goes dark...

ACO Stricker says:
All: Once again, no objection from the crew if I go down to the planet with the CIV, CMO and FCO?

CIV Tyret says:
:: Goes up to the Dog and scratches behind his ears ::

CSO Lane says:
ACO: As your senior officer sir, I think the security detail is a must.

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  Lots of objections sir...but I thought I'd go every other mission before I argue with you again.  It's someone else's turn today.

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Starfleet can't afford to lose another Command Officer, I agree with Commander  Lane.

ACO Stricker says:
CSO: Good comment...   TO: You will be with my team.

TO Raja says:
ACO: Yes sir-r-r

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  We are in orbit.   :: Fingers fly over the controls making sure the ship is sure and steady. ::

CMO Bannister says:

OPS Varn says:
CSO: No Ma'am it's all quiet

FCO Lorehani says:
CMO:  I'm doing good.  A little over excited today.   :: Thinks ::   Not good for an Andorian.  Hmm, don't let me get into a fight today...   :: Leans over ::   Holodeck later?

TO Raja says:
:: Stops by the locker and picks up the necessary equipment ::

OPS Varn says:

CSO Lane says:
