USS Avalon NCC 06742-A: Episode XIII

"Goodbye"

Summary:
The USS Avalon is returns to Earth to collect intel for their next mission. They face Ilve, a self proclaimed god with genetically altered Jem'Hadar. Previously he had extracted genetic information from Captain Hunter, Robin Hunter and Devra Andora. He is stronger than before and has added something to the ships he controls. At a loss the Avalon crew scramble to find a way to bring this bigger threat down. Leaving from Earth the Avalon reaches DS9 unloading various civilians and crew members. Feala Corav taking Robin Hunter with her to visit her family. K'Tor has vowed to take care of Devra and Elan Andora. A tearful heart wrenching parting.


Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: -=[BEGIN SIM]=-
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The day is filled with the clamor of Starfleet Cadets rushing between classes and chatting and studying and carrying on. It takes those that graduated from there back a few years. Some less time than that.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C and CSEC] ... try running the simulation again. We've tried every single weapon against this 8472 hull material and it doesn't work :::looks around the tactical lab :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] [18A and 18C] Maybe thats the problem.....we need a new weapon.We just need to find a weakness in the hull material...any luck with finding one?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A and CSEC] ::: he slides out from under a console after making a few adjustments. He had always liked the tac studies lab ::: Well, we have to obviously keep trying or else we'll loose to an enemy before we begin to fight.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CSEC] No, unfortunately. If it is entirely covered, like we think it is then we're screwed.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Is on her way to the transporter room anxious to see her brother. Her information had Trace already running simulations. Doing his job. For a moment she wished she could watch but she would be a distraction. Stepping onto the transporter pad she waited with a nod that she was ready to the tech. Her head tilted. She had released Liel earlier.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] There has to be one..it's impossible. There is always a weakness, we just have find it and play off of it.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][IAB] Amy, I'm sorry I couldn't have been here sooner. I'm sorry about what happened to Allison. ::: he walked by the professor down the court yard of the academies garden. :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Never say impossible. To each side. There may or may not be a way. But where technical prowess fails, brute force prevails.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::having just been released Liel was finished changing and knew she had to get away for a while. And so was roaming the corridors wondering if she had permission to go to the surface. Her fingers lifting to tap her com badge then pausing.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [IAB][CO] It was a tragedy Alex, and I still find myself crying but I did enjoy Robin's trip. She's a beautiful girl. ::: the older woman stopped and inhaled deeply ::: I take it she's not going to be involved in this Ilve buisness?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A and 18C] Well, considering that run in I had a couple of weeks ago with that Jem'Hadar ::motioning towards his head::..I want to stand as far away as possible from them...and then blow it to bits.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::Feala was walking past a rushing crowd of cadets, having just come back from seeing her old favorite temporal studies professor. Odd how fate, or whatever it was, had placed his granddaughter in her care shortly after.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][IAB] Absolutely not, Amy. She's going with Feala to Bajor while we sort this out. ::: He stopped with her. His eyes were.. reassuring :::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::The transfer complete she stood in the courtyard. Biting her lower lip in an anxious moment.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Do we have the type XV phaser arrays on line yet? If we do... that'd be a great advantage against them.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Looking around she tilted her head and nodded moving to the TL.:: [COMP] Transporter room...
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CSEC and 18C] ::: Overhears and turns around ::: Type XV arrays haven't even been installed on starbases yet. How did you get that technology?
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Spots the captain and walks over to him hoping she isn't interrupting.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [IAB][CO] That's good, then. ::: She continued and he followed ::: Rest assured, that we will transmit all the data we can find as soon as we have analyzed the Dominion Tablets. Your Commander Fontane has been of great help. ::: She smiled and then laughed ::: I'd ask her to stay but a trip to the Gamma Quadrant is every science officer's dream. ::: She looked at him and nodded ::: I have to get to a lecture. Take care of yourself, Alex. You need to come home to your little girl. Good luck.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] No. They have yet to be installed...a team is working on it though. Trace...I dont want 'advantage' I want complete and tottaly assurance that we can defeat this new breed of Jem'Hadar.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::The lift let her off and she walked to the TR a brief talk with the Tech had her on the transporter pad and on the surface in a shimmer of bluish light.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][IAB] Thank you, Amy. I will. I promise. ::: With that she was off down the quad :::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She sighed and sat down in a quad area outdoors, on a stone bench in front of a bush that would probably be blooming in a few months. Some part of her really missed this place.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] I hacked Starfleet's Mainframe and stole the schematics and [CSEC] It's pretty much all we have. The Type Double X phaser cannon can only do so much. Even with Lieutenant Andora's modifications.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Stops near Alex and looks around for a long time her head tilted slightly.:: [CO] Feels good to stretch.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Voice by Feala][Cadets] Darn kids, this is a flower bed, not a bench. Do your studying else where! ::: it's a gruf but grumpy voice :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] ::: She got the drop on him that's for sure. He jumped a bit and then smiled ::: Doctor, what brings you to this neck of the woods?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Liel moved slowly examining the buildings she passed at a near snails pace thinking. This was beautiful. Her gaze lowered a little bit in thought.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She smirked.:: [NOIP] I know that voice.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] I'll have my team moving as quickly as possible. Be we need a plan B...just incase you're plan doesnt work.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Taps controls and brings up the holo image of the ship ::: [Both] Waait. Remember, ch'Thane said that the ship's airlocks were uncovered by the armor!
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Boothby is scaring of the native cadets as he crouches down to tend to one of his badly damaged flower beds.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][CO] Didn't mean to startle you. I am going to visit my brother while Trace is working with Telsia.. on a way passed Ilve's defences. Also to let you know I'm fairly sure Liel will beam down for a while. I released her earlier.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] I do seem to recall that... but lancing a torpedo or phaser through that armor at impulse would be hard as hell. Very slim chance, you know?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] True..but they're just airlocks. There won't be much damgage to the weapons and navigation.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CSEC and 18C] ::: She leans over the table, poking her head through the holo image ::: But it's a shot. We could blow a big enough hole in her, right?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She was almost afraid to ask, knowing how Boothby cared so much about his gardens, but figured she would talk to someone.:: [Boothby] Do you want some help with that? I have a friend who's been helping my thumb get a little bit greener.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] No harm in trying I guess. [18C] Start the simulation....
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] ::: Looking up, with squinted eyes he examined her. he wore a straw hat and old denim overalls. His white shirt was stained with grass and dirt and his brow was dotted with sweat.::: I suppose you could.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Pushing the button he watched the supposed effects of a torpedo through their airlock :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: It did damage, true enough, but it was limited to a deck or two at best.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::finds out where Telsia and Trace are running their idea's It was the only place she belonged here. She paused outside the door. Then suddenly just by passed thinking she better take it easy. And Trace had proven very efficiant and even smarter than she in some cases.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby] ::: Began to splint the flowers and water then gingerly ::: [OPS] So Corav Feala. What class were you again? ::: he asked gruffly :::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::blinks at Alex cause he seemed to be lost in thought then waves her hand infront of his face trying to wake him up again.:: [CO] Heeeeeellllllllloooooooo.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CSEC] Son of a bi-! ::: she exhaled ::: Well, it was something. If we hit them with something powerful like a transphasic torpedo...
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C and 18A] Damage looks minimal.. ::glancing at the simulation report on the console:: So any other ideas?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She slid off of the bench and began to straighten some of the more sorry-looking flowers.:: [Boothby] 2380. It hasn't been very long. ::She smiled in spite of (and in fact almost because of) the gruffness in his voice.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] So what have you done with your life?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] That sounds like her. :::a pause ::: You went here, right?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Ends up only going a few feet before leaning on the wall. She couldn't help running the data.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Nods a little bit and looks down.:: [CO] Wasn't real memorable though. No favorite teachers. Very few friends.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Then it'd make a bigger boom. The reason transphasic torpedos are so powerful ::: he made gestures with his hands ::: isn't the actual yield. They phase through shields and armor and explode inside of the ship.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][Boothby] I'm chief of operations on the USS Avalon, and I've... got a family for myself these days. ::She nodded.:: Anything new happening here?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Sort of like a fire cracker in a closed hand?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Exactly.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] What the hell do ya mean family? You're just a child! How much of a family could you have?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::hits the chime on the door to the simulation room almost too hard. Her slightly drawn face intense as she waited for a responce from those within.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] This looks like the damn hilton compared to the TacAcad on Vulcan.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][DOOR] Hmmmm? Enter.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: looked to the door as he held a PADD, observing the data :::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::chuckles a little bit softly then nods.:: [CO] Will Liel be going to Officer Training? She's one of the best even when she makes a mistake. But this thing with Ilve has her twisted up.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He noded towards his colleges:: How about a pulse wave torpedo? ::He looked up to the door to see who'd come to join::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][Boothby] My fiancee has a daughter from a previous relationship... she's been placed in his care, and with that, mine. Surprised? ::Her smile was constant, although she was almost sure she'd get a bit of a lecture.::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Enters the room with a grim look on her face.:: [18A, 18C and CSEC] Okay I'm here... show me what you got so far.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] She's already an officer, Doc. Why'd she need to go through OCS again?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] So you're a mother? And you're expecting? Do you think you're ready for it ::: gruff :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][TAC] Not much...all of our simulations give us nothing. We dont prevail in all of them and have yet to find a weakness in the hull material.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][TAC] ::: Looks at her as if Liel was her mother and smirked accordingly. She nodded to her and looked at Neris to explain :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][TAC] ::: Ushered her over to the table and handed her the PADD ::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] [CO] ::Blinks a moment and nods.:: Just that she hasn't been herself.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][TAC] All we have is the airlocks.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] [TAC] ...And we've got minimal damage when fired apon.::Finishing her sentance::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She looked up from the flowerbed, surprised.:: [Boothby] How did you know? Only two people know that, and it's too early to be obvious.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAc] ::Takes the padd but remains standing looking it over. Her chin lifted after a moment concidering.:: [ALL] Air locks you say?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] Probably Verkal's absence... ::: he breathed deeply. ::: Verkal has been assigned to the U.S.S. Essex which is operating in the Briar patch. It's a temporary assignment but I wasn't told how long it could last.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][CO] She knows he's in the Briar Patch? ::blinking at him then tilting her head.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] You gave it away. ::: he grunted ::: You're glowing. ::: he put down his shovel and gave her a long hard look ::: Corav, you know you were always one of the brighter ones around here. Now who did you get connected to?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] I doubt it I just found out. Officially it's an LOA so it must be hush hush.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][TAC] Yep, standard airlocks. We were thinking of using transpahsic torpedos.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Takes a deep breath tilting her head slightly.:: [CO] Are you going to tell her?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] [18C] Let us see what happens... ::She nodded a little bit.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] I was going to order Feala to do it ::: sort of serious but joking ::: Cause I don't want to be the one she vents on, but it might as well be me. I feel for her. ::: he paused and nodded ::: I'll tell her when we get back onto the Avalon.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][ALL] ::: She sat down at a console ::: Imputting the data... ::: She tapped a few more keys ::: Running simulation...
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She blinked several times at the "glowing" comment, then laughed a little and shook her head.:: [Boothby] Who did I get connected to? He went to the tactical academy, so unless you hear the brass complaining about stubborn captains often, I don't think you'd know him.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] Try me.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][CO] She would take it better coming from you. She's used to being seperated from him. But you may be surprised at her reaction. ::Brigid shrugged a little bit.:: Do you know if Bryan is here still?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][Boothby] Fleet Captain Alexander Hunter?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] He was never here, Doc. He's at command. Across the street. ::: pointed across the bay. :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby] ::: He paused for a moment :::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::And she watched him closely, the flowers all but forgotten by now.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][CO] I meant... do you know exactly where he is?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] I remember. He did a few cross training exercises here once or twice. I never got to talk to him... but I watched him.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] Probably at the Gateway Barracks near command.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The simulation runs. The torpedo enters the tube and blows out a chunk of the cruiser's starboard section.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::A nod.:: [Boothby] And?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::hands Trace another PADD leaning a little bit on a console. Then nods a little bit seeing the test run.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::nods a little bit.:: [CO] I should see him before we have to get back. ::She hugged her friend and darted off to go find her brother still thinking about Trace.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] He was... ::: thinks and then narrows his eyes and nods ::: Intense. He fought the Crusher boy in 67' and damn near beat him to a pulp. The first time the Academy has ever lost the martial arts tournament.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][18C] Give me the damage report, Trace. ::blinking slightly.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][TAC] Telsia would have that... ::: he started :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Yep that's true. [TAC] The EPS equviliant is down... polaron cannons are down but they still have limited impulse and torpedos
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::A very slow lift of her brow. Her head tilted forward a little. Her gaze moving to Telsia and waiting with a pointed look.:: [18A] First shot has to wipe out their cloaking and engines. Second has to take out weapons.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] That's all I really know of him. He kept to himself while he was here. ::: he picked back up his spade and dug a new hole to transplant a flower :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][ALL] Well look like we have a plan B. ::He nooded towards Liel:: But we've only got 4 torpedos...we've got to make those first two shots count.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][18A, 18C and CSEC] Find the exhaust pipe of that sucker. It's got to be uncovered too.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][TAC] ::: Trace leaned back in a chair ::: It's not that simple...
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Makes her way across "the Street" to command::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Feala's combadge bleeps.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She giggled for a while and went back to the flowers. They were definitely looking much better now.:: [Boothby] Well, that's all right. You were the one who wanted to know.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][18C] ::Tilts her head slightly.:: Talk.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She reached up and tapped her commbadge:: Yes?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CDRF]+T+[OPS] Fontane to Corav. I've just picked up our expert on the Gamma Quadrant and have returned to the Avalon. Rear Admiral Jellico has 'informed' us we need to be on our way.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Enters the building finding a consol to figure out where her brother is.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS]+T+[CDRF] I'll take that as my cue to be heading back, then. Be there in a few seconds.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][TAC] Dominion vessels tend not to produce a plasma trail. They recycle them back into their bussard collectors to power other systems and to provide heat.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CDRF]+T+[OPS] Please collect the others as well?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Like a big radiator?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS]+T+[CDRF] Sure thing. Corav out. ::She stood and brushed off her pants.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Yep. So we can't blow them up from their exhaust pipe.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::gives an amused smile tilting her head a little bit. Then she sighed. Setting the padd down she left the room leaving the one she'd handed Trace behind.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][Boothby] Looks like you've saved another flowerbed from destruction and a former cadet from boredom all in one day. ::She grinned.:: I need to be going.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [Boothby][OPS] Mmmhmmm. Take care ::: he said as gruff as ever and continued to tend to his flowers :::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She tapped her badge again.:: +T+[18A] Commander Fontane just told me that we need to be heading out yesterday. You guys might want to wrap up your simulations.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] So what now? I guess we'll have to cross our fingers and hope for the best ::He spoke after over hearing her com badge::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A]+T+[OPS] ::: She finished listening and nodded ::: Alright. We'll be up after we send our data to the Avalon. Hunter out.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C and CSEC] Looks like this will have to wait. [18C] Send our data to the Avalon, please?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] ::: He tapped a few controls and nodded as he stood ::: Done.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Tips her head a little bit. Her fingers running over the consol unaware that they were being called back She made her way to the barracks her brother should be at.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: sits with his pant legs rolled up and his feet in the pond of the Academy :::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Set on mental autopilot she goes out to Alex. Her face even grimmer than when she had gone in.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] [18C and 18A] :: He collected three padds in his hand and began to leave:: I think I'll have some of Liel's officers recalibrate our targetiing systems.. I don't want any slip ups.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Helped neris out and made her way to the transporter in the corridor and waited for the others :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Followed telsia out and stood on one of the PADDs.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Also didn't know about the recall. Swished his feet, playing with a huge gold fish :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C]+T+[CMO] Brigid. It's recall time. We're heading to the Avalon.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The three security officers arrive on the bridge as they have been site to sited.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Stands at the edge of the water. Her arms crossed over her stomach.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO]+T+[18C] I'll meet you there. ::She sent up her own signal that she was ready for transport. Disappointed that she didn't get to see how her brother was. Her face grim.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Inhales deeply:: It's it's good to be home ::He smiled:: I guess we'll be meeting with the captain when he returns...until then. I'm going to catch up on some...how do humans say... on some Z's ::He laughed and continued to his quarters::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] ::: He looks up as he raises a brow ::: Oh, what's up, kiddo?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] It's nice alright. ::: conspiers with a crewman ::: I'm acting helm till Verkal gets back... ::: heaves a sigh as he takes his place at the conn :::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::doesn't say anything staring at the pond. At least at first. Her fingers clutching slightly.:: [CO] Should I just let those two take over? They know everything before I do as it is. I'm lucky if my opinion even counts.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: She laughs ::: You poor bastard. Extra responsibility is fine, though
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A]+T+[CO] Captain, general recall. We're gettin underway.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO]+T+[18A] Without the Captain? I think not. I'll be on my way in a second.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::Feala sighed, having finished telling no less than three crew members who already knew to get going, and signalled that she was ready to go back to the ship.::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::quirks a brow.:: [CO] Looks like I'm not the only one who gets left out of the loop.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Stands collecting his boots and other items and gestures for Liel to join him as he walked to a transporter padd ::: [TAC] I did this out of my own choice. No what's wrong, kiddo?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Taps the conn and looks at it ::: [18A and CSEC] Did you guys know this has a dinner order button?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAc] ::Walks with him.:: [CO] I told you. Telsia and Trace are practically taking over. They didn't even want to hear what I had to say. Let alone ask if I had a better idea. Tactical is my job but they've already done it. Why am I on this ship if I'm not needed?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] That's....rather convient. I want one of those on the SEC console. I'll have to foward my request to engineering.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::Feala shimmered back onto the ship, exited the transporter room, and started the trip back onto the bridge.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] ::: He looks at her for a second ::: Pregnancy sure makes women weird, huh? ::: A joking smile ::: Did you contribute to the discussion?
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Shimmers into existance on the ship. Walking out to the corridor and on.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Steps onto a transporter pad :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CSEC] Heh, Jameson probably would want one on his too. I'll have to ask Feala about that. Send in a request or something. I want Master's home cooking ferried up to me on those long hard shifts.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She exited onto the bridge, catching just the tail end of that bit of dialogue.:: [18A] What's this about Master's cooking?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] I asked what they had ... they already had it all ... I tried to make a suggestion and got shut down without them even thinking about it. They thought I meant to "Stick one up the exhaust pipe." it wasn't that but they were already set on it that yes I was looking for an entry but not for what they thought. No one bothers to ask me anymore.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] I haven't seen Commander Belford in a long time.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: :[TAC] ::pointedly ignoring the pregnant woman comment.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][OPS] How come you and Verkal have food ordering buttons in your LCARS systems?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: They both beam back to the Avalon
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] I don't think they're removing you from the loop intentionally. I think they've become more self sufficent since you were on maternity leave. They actually thought for themselves for once :::proceeds to a turbo lift and once there he waits for her :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][OPS] ::: he smiles :: Isn't it a bit unfair?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAc] ::back aboard she clams up. She sounded like a petulant child. Liel hated it. Her dark look got cast to the tech running the transporter and she stared at after him her expression turning frozen. She didn't say anything in responce.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][18A] ::She laughed.:: I've been told that one of the engineers who's move on now did that to pick on the old Helm and Operations officers, because they were both stoic Vulcans who never talked to each other or liked anything "frivolous."
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] Besides, Trace and she are experts on Dominion Tactics. Trace was being trained during the war and Telsia chose it as her specialty.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][18A] I think pressing it actually sets off some kind of alarm in engineering to scare the chief, but I've never tried it.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][ALL] Let me try...
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Doesn't say anything her gaze blank as when she had first boarded Avalon.:: [CO] You know where Verkal is...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] I was coming to that. He's going to be on the Essex pulling some operation in the briar patch for an undisclose amount of time
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: presses it :::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She moved toward her console and dropped into the seat, spinning toward the display with a grin.:: [18C] Just leave me out of whatever happens.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Self-Destruct in 10 seconds.... 10... 9.... 8...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The bridge grows dark and the red alert comes on.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Steps onto the turbo lift withdrawn and silent.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] What the hell did you do?!
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A and OPS] Holy crap!
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Walks to the TL. Almost jumping out of her skin when the red alert starts.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: 7... 6... 5...
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She jumped at the controls, not at all convinced that this was serious knowing the prankster nature of the button, but she still didn't like hearing self-destruct, so she went to shut it down.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Stop it! ::: starts scanning and pressing buttons to deactivate the destruct :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: 4... 3... 2...
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] Oh damn!
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: 1...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A message pops up on the view screen. Many Xenexians resembling a certain captain laughing and on the screen it shows the ship blow up and from the cloud a KA BOOM appears
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] Oh... ::He mummered a Trillian curse.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Arrives on the bridge :::[ALL] Food delivery button?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She giggled again.:: [CO] Wasn't me.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: does a picard nod and smirks :: [NOIP] Damn kids... status report?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Will need to change his pants after this shift ::: [CO] We're.. we're uh- ready to leave orbit. Just give the word.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CO] Guess I wont be catching those Z's. Every thing seems to be in order on the secuirty side of things.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::After a quick check, she nodded.:: [CO] All crew accounted for. We can go.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Steps off with him. Silently going to her station. She sends out orders for her people to start the recalibration of the weapons system.:: [CO] have set up the teams for the recalibration of the weapons system. Alls ready up here.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CO] Special Forces are obviously here... let's roll.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][18C] ::: Sits in his chair ::: Set a course for DS9. Warp nine.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CO] ::: he takes a bit, unfamiliar with the controls but gets it in enough time ::: There. Course laid in.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][HELM] Engage.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: taps the button and takes them to warp even though it violates a directive :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Thinks.... in other words haul ass...we were suposed to be gone 24 hours ago::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Looks between Telsia and Trace with that cool look. Then looks back to her consol tracking the progress of her teams recalibrating the sheilds and weapons. And updating using the specifications she had given them.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] Let's get everyone rounded up. I want to conduct a pow wow before we get to DS9
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] Get our specialist up here too.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Stands and moves to the conference lounge after shucking his jacket off onto the back of his command chair :::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Steps onto the bridge looking around for a moment.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] Aye. ::She tapped the button requesting shipwide comm.:: Senior staff and special forces personnel, report to the conference lounge, please. Repeat, senior staff and special forces to the conference lounge.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] [CMO] Greetings Brigid... ::He spoke to her as he moved towards the secuirty station::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::nods a little bit putting her second on the conn while she turned to the lounge and entered silent still taking her seat.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Moves to the lounge herself and takes her own seat.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Moves to the conference lounge and sits down at his normal place :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Stands up and files in with the rest, taking a seat next to Trace :::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Nods to Neris slightly::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: (lag) [CSEC] ::Goes to the lounge and plops down in a seat::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She stood from her chair and raised her hand to her commbadge once more.:: +T+[Strife] We'd like to have you in the conference lounge as well, please.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She walked the short distance to the lounge and took her seat.::
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife] ::: Moved into the conference lounge as she'd just arrived on the bridge herself. She was wearing the grey body red shouldered uniform of an Academy instructor. She moved into the room giving everyone a nod :::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Nods to Selphie with a ghost of a smile.::
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife][ALL] Let me be brief and to the point. We're going to the Gamma Quadrant. You need a guide and seeing as I have vast quantaties of experience in that region of space, I was assigned here. ::: she smiled slightly ::: How about opening it up to some Q&A?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: blinks at her predecessor's frankness :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Coughs and glances at the Operations and Tactical officers ::: [Strife] Good to see you too, Selphie. ::: he then leaned back and asked ::: I guess, first off, I know we're heading to the Cassini Quadrant... but where were the intel pictures taken?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::suppresses a snicker at the look from Alex. Then looked back to Selphie.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::A glance back, and a little gesture that could only be described as a shrug by someone who knew her very well. She listened intently to the discussion.::
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife][CO] I guess that's a good place to start. The Gamma or 'Cassini' Quadrant is our destination. We will meet the Formidable outside the wormhole on the other side then will proceed to Centurion Station which is a Fortuna-class starbase. The Intel pictures were taken six light years away in the Velphui star system.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][Strife] So the enemy is building up its forces near the worm hole?
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife][18C] Tactical anaylsis is up to you guys. I'm nothing more than a tour guide.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Blinks a little bit her cool gaze moving to Trace and Telsia again. That ghost of a smile again coming to the front then she looked away again.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][Strife] ... that's it?
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife][CO] What do you mean, 'that's it.' I answered the question.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Sits making notes on her padd. Her gaze moving from face to face for a moment then to Alex.:: [Strife] What are our conditions going to be like there?
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife] ::: Gives alex an angry look then gives a more courteous one to Lea ::: [CMO] Frontier. That's the only Federation post in the Gamma Quadrant.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She whistled softly.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][Strife] Noted. Thank you. ::Brigid looked to Trace and Telsia contemplating then to Liel thoughtfully.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][NOIP] Frontier... you mean we're.. ::: looks at trace slowly with a grin :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][18A] ::: Nods with a smile ::: You got it... :::: high Fives her :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: High Fives him :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: Space cowboys!!!
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: SPACE COWBOYS!
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Twitches slightly still smiling though.::
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife][18C and A] Well, you guys had better straighten up. The Jem'Hadar are dangerous on their own but they were predictable. This new faction is unlike anyone we've ever faced. And if they gained the DNA from your captain, his daughter and the Andora girl, the Jem'Hadar are that much powerful now.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][NOIP] Space Cowboys? ::Is perplexed::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Her jaw tightens a little bit.:: [NOIP] That's what he was doing with Devra and Robin.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] Exactly. Experiments of the most dangerous kind.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: looks around the room ::: Anyone else have any questions?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She sighed, having been taking most of this in silently. She spoke in a murmur.:: [CO] None here.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::sits thinking.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CO] None at all.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][CSEC] Space Cowboys... hot shots... they think this is going to be their time to show off.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: winces ::: [CMO] We are the elite of the elite. ::: Smiles at his lover softly :::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Suddenly grinning full out.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CMO] I see. Elite you say? Well if you ask me...::He decided to not hurt any feelings::[CO] Is that all?
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] I know that. It's your job to be the best.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Seems like it
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Take some time to rest, okay?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] [CO] They have made themselves vulnerable without realizing it. ::She shrugged slightly then stared out the view port.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Dismissed.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] Who's that?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] Ilve...
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Not liking the flavor of the room he moves back onto the bridge to the port turbo lift.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][ALL] My thoughts exactly...until we reach Deep Space Nine, ill be in my quarters.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Walks out onto the bridge and sits down at an auxiliary station :::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Catches up to Trace.::
Commander (ret.) Selphie Strife: [Strife] ::: Moves back down to her quarters :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::TL's to his quarters::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: looks at Liel ::: [TAC] Don't feel so put out Liel. You're still needed here. Besides... ::: he whispers ::: Those damn kids don't got anything on you.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] I do not mind that they have started using their heads, Alex. I do mind that I am not being consulted at all on things and being cut from the loop. My job is tactical. I need their advice and they are thinking of only themselves and what they want. I can not do my job without their information and they can not complete theirs without getting killed if they are not brought into line.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She took a few moments to stand from her chair, then took a lingering glance around the room before she headed for the bridge. She wouldn't need rest, so she would finish her shift.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Blinks silently at Trace.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Stands silently for the ride to twenty-six :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] Liel... they aren't kids. They are qualified to do almost any job on this ship. You're the tactical officer so as for strategy... your the decision maker. Take what they are going to use or throw it away.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] What's wrong Trace? ::She tilted her head.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] Nothing ::: eyes fixed on the forward lift :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Reaches his quarter..undresses and pulls on his bed clothes::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][NOIP] I wonder if I could rig LCARS to play pong...
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][18A] It's already there somewhere. I found it buried in some old subroutines about a month ago.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] You're a terrible liar. Stick to the truth. ::Softly.:: I wasn't coming down on you.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] ::: He let a smirk off ::: I guess it just seemed that way.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] I said it because I don't want you over confident out there. You know how easily that kills.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] [CO] Alex, they are kids. This is their first real mess. They may be trained on everything on this ship but so am I. This is not about hurt pride. This is about the fact that they are telling me nothing of their plans unless I flat out ask for it. Maybe I am being foolish, but it should be that I get some say in things not shut out the minute I start to say something.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] About the ship? Or about their operations?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] ::: Rolls his eyes ::: I'm not a damn kid! I fought near the tail end of the Dominion war and during the So'na conflicts. I can handle this!
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][OPS] Really? Feala...
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][OPS] I heard you were leaving the ship.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She stared at her console for a long moment.:: [18A] For a little while.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] That's not what I was saying. But that's the impression you're giving everyone with your "Space Cowboy" thing. I know very well you aren't a kid or I wouldn't be with you. Thanks for the credit. ::She sighed and went quiet.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] If it's about the fight with the cruiser, I said it was your choice. You are the main person behind it.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][OPS] Why?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] Then I will tell them that and collect all the data. I need their info to see what their ideas are. But that is something I had to flat out remind them that I even existed.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Shakes his head and sighs ::: [TAC] You're over thinking things. I don't think they're doing it intentionally. It's their way to stay inside their own little click.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][18A] It's funny. Boothby was able to guess before I said much of anything. ::She laughed a little, then looked up at Telsia.:: I'm pregnant. I want to be with my family, and Zander wants me to take Robin away from this thing you're all getting into.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] I did not say they were doing it intentionally. I never said anything of the sort. Their own click? They are part of this crew are they not?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] ::: He smirked shaking his head as he walked to the bridge ::: It's more complicated than that
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She went back to her console.:: [18A] So when you guys leave DS9, I won't be aboard.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][OPS] Well I must admit it'll be harder without you but. It's for the best
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] you know... it is not as complicated as you think it is. Why do you not say that they were simply trained that way. In which case I would say. Why will they not have a little trust in other people instead of being arrogant about their jobs? Truth of it is. They do not like to let anyone in.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: the lift doors cut off the last section of her words as he stepped onto the main bridge :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Feala's console bleeps
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][18A] I think so too. ::She tapped at ther console, checking the indicator beep.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] We're approaching Deep Space Nine.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C] ::: He sighed as he got off the lift and proceeded towards his locker. :::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Stands alone for a long time working off the padd checking on things. Ignored. Great another thing. Her thoughts going to Elan and Verkal. She sank back against the wall.::
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO][Comp} Deck sixteen... ::her voice quiet and morose.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] Very well. Tell Captain Kira that we're going to be beaming over personel for leave. Inform her, as well, that she still owes me a katarian ale.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: walks back into the lounge and looks at liel ::: [TAC] I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::Her fingers went rapid-fire over the console, sending the text transmissions that were routine in these kinds of situations, then she waited for the response.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] ::: he moves down to the helm tier ;:: Are you packed and ready?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Bleep bleep
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Looks up.:: [18A] Telsia. I do not disreguard your work. But I need to know what you and Trace know in order to do my job. That does not give you space to take over when you know something. I know you are used to functioning on your own in your own ways with Trace.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] Yeah, I am.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] ::: Placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze :::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][18A] But at the same time... ::pauses looking at her padd then looks pained. before continuing.:: we are going into a dangerous situation everyone needs to know and needs to work together to get through it.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][TAC] Liel, we told you what we knew. And you were on leave when we started this so who's taking over for who? We told you straight off what was up and you just left when Traced pointed out that Dominion vessels are clean burning.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She just sighed as the reply came in.:: [CO] All clear on everything, including the Ale I'm guessing.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] Come on, Little Bird your things are in transporter room one. I'll see you and litte bird off, okay?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][18A] I left because I admittedly am frustrated. It was not that he said they were clean burning. It is that you two did not wait for what I had in mind when he said it and I am trying to come up with something helpful myself.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][TAC] He saved you time then to concentrate on other areas.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Looks down some.:: [18A] Just ... keep me informed alright?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] ::: Starts knockin on his door a few minutes later.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] You're not staying at the station for long, are you? Alright. ::She stood and kept tears from bubbling over her placid, if blue, expression.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Who? ::He pulled off his clothes and put on his uniform::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][TAC] Okay. We'll do that from now on. As for this ship thing it's your go. You can take our simulation data and put it to use however you wish. ::: Hands it to her gently :::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Wake up, we're going to the Gamma Quadrant soon.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] ::: Guides her into the lift and hugs her ::: Hey, what's wrong?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][18A] You all really did come up with the best idea. ::She admitted softly.:: I guess I am used to having the good ideas... ::A slight shrug and she stood up.:: I have to go see my baby off. ::Her voice choked as she practically ran from the lounge to the lift.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] ::He door opened to reveal Trace:: Oh thanks. ::He wiped his eyes and set off to the turbo lift::: You coming along?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Sure. ::: He followed and started to stir up idle conversation ::: You're joined right?
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Steps off in sick bay and does a final check on Elan before he goes. Her head tilted a little bit as she handled the little boy gently.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She shook her head from inside his arms.:: [CO] I just don't want to leave.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [K'Tor][CMO] The boy will be fine in my care. I will keep him sheltered on the station.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Yes. I am. Why do you ask? [COMP] Main bridge please ::the TL hummed along::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] I think this is the right way for me to go, for me and for Robin, but I don't want to leave you.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] I know. You barely just got back... be strong Fea. You'll be fine. Little bird and... ::: Touches her stomach once more ::: Le'ssa will need your strength. And as for me... this is where I need to be. There is no chance that we won't all be coming back from this mission.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Looks up at K'Tor.:: [K'Tor] I know you will. And I know you will remember he likes it warm and humid and all that. He was the first baby born on Avalon. I can only hope we come back for the little guy.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] I'll write you three every night.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC][Comp] Sick Bay. ::She choked out breaking down. Her head lowering as she cried the lift going down.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [K'Tor][CMO] I'll be in transporter room one. Quap'lagh, my senior!.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] ::She laughed a little and smiled sadly.:: I'd like that.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Yo, Spots... are you there?
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Nods a little bit waiting for Liel.:: [K'Tor] See you there.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Sorry... umm, how many life times?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Stumbles passed K'Tor. Trying very hard not to flat out wail.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] ::: As he walks her to transporter room one ::: Should I bring you back something?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Exactly six..not including myself.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] So you've had your fair share of women?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Maybe been one yourself at one point?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Yes to both ::He laughed as they were deposited onto the main bridge and stepped off:: And you, have you had your fair share of women?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] Just yourself, love. That's all I need from you. ::She walked into Transporter Room 1 and smiled at Robin, seeing her there already.::
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] More than... but seeing as you've been one. What is the deal with them?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] :;fumbled with the latches on the warm, humid chamber lifting Elan out and cuddling the infant close.:: [Elan] I am sorry, my little one... but for your life I must. ::She whispered rocking the infant a little bit as she began walking.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][TAC] ::: her steady hand fell on Liel's shoulder ::: Hey... can I walk you to the transporter room?
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::watches Liel. Sadness coming to her eyes as she walked behind them.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] I haven't been one persay... I just have their memorys embeded inside of me essentially
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Still have an advantage over me.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Liel's tear streaked face lifted to Telsia and she nodded. Turning slightly Elan had gained some weight in the last couple days. Liel swallowed so hard her throat clicked.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][Robin] Come here, little bird!
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Kneeled and opened his arms :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] You could say that.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::nods a little bit watching the them for a moment.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [Robin] ::The girl ran into her father's arms.:: [CO] Daddy do I have to go?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] So... what's the deal? And why haven't you hooked up with anyoe yet?
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: anyone*
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] There's not beating around the bush with you is there? I'm not the 'hooking-up" type. I go for reletionships.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][Robin] Sorry, Robin. It's for the best... besides. If you don't go, who's going to watch out for your mom and new sister?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Her eyes pop open. She darted back to the Turbo lift.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Guess I haven't find the correct speices or woman yet.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] What do you think of Bellford?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [Robin][CO] I'll miss you. ::She wrapped her arms around his neck.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][Robin] I'll miss you too, cutie-pie. But I'll be back before you know it.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] [Comp] Deck three. ::She said this was getting worse by the moment. The lift went up.::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::She bent down to touch Robin on the shoulder.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][Robin] ::: Gave her a peck and smiled ::: I love you kiddo.
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [Robin] ::She returned the peck with a loud, kiddish "mwah!":: [CO] I love you too daddy.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] We could not do this here ::He glanced around at the bridge officers whom he was sure were intently listening to his converstation::
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [Robin] ::Robin stepped back toward the transporter pad.::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::When it stopped she found her quarters and Devra already packed looking very angry but complying. Liel didn't say anything as she picked her sister up trembling. And walked back to the TL.:: [Devra] I am sorry my sister but I need you to look after Elan. You know that. We discussed it already. You two are too important to me. ::The lift waited.:: [Comp] Transporter room 1
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] Zander.... This might not really be your thing, but....
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] ::: Tilts his head ::: What is it?
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] May the prophets keep you safe. ::She smiled at him.::
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::The lift stopped and the small family made their way back to the Transporter room. She let Devra slide from her hip slowly.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] ::: he pulled her close and kissed her deeply. Then he what he said... the look in his eyes was fear... ::: Yes... I hope they do...
Senior Chief Petty Officer Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Oh relax. What's wrong? Do you think she's cute or what?
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::looks to T'Kor. Putting on her brave face as she reluctantly handed over her baby boy and little sister to the Klingons care.:: [T'Kor] Teach Devra the ways of honor till I return...
Lieutenant Corav Feala: [OPS] ::That surprised her a little... but only a little. She knew there was always more going on with him than was obvious.:: Come and see me when you come back. ::She hugged him one last time and then stepped toward Robin, taking her hand. [Robin] Come on.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] It's impossible for me to relax....she's ok. Nothing speical.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [K'Tor'] ::: Nods strongly :: The children will be taken care of.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Grabs T'Kor's free arm in a strong grip. Then leans over kissing her son lightly placing a small disk in with him. Then dropping a like disk around Devra's neck on a chain.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: They all step back onto the pads.
Lieutenant JG Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Stands watching intently.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A last look is exchanged with loved ones. Before... "Energize." With that they disappear onto the station.
Lieutenant Liel Andora: [TAC] ::WAtches her son and baby sister intently burning them into her memory. When gone she turns running from the room.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: From a point on the promenade the departing members watch as the Avalon dives into the worm hole... Little did they know of the massive changes that the crew would bring back... if they made it back.
