USS Incursion NCC 93041: Episode II (part 3)

Summary:
The away team continues to try to figure out a way through the complex, trying to devise ways to scatter the transporter beams they hear and how to battle the unseen enemies that it appears are trying to kill them. Meanwhile, the Incursion has come under attack from fighters that were heading to the capital city, and is soon overpowered. As it explodes, the crew's surroundings fade off into a holodeck. They are greeted by Fleet Captain Swift and Lt. Colonel Rico, and are soon ordered to report to the dining hall in full dress uniform. The STF Admiralty is present at the event. General Staf formally announces the formation of the 54th Starfleet Marine Expeditionary Unit, and he gives control of it to Lt. Colonel Rico and his XO, a newly-promoted 1st Lieutenant Jack Rostof. Afterward, Fleet Captain Swift is promoted to Commodore and transferred off of the ship, and Lt. Commander John Etti asks for Lt. Commander Selphie Strife's hand in marriage.


Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp: =Begin Sim=
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Mutters to himself, as he leans against a broken console:: Stop biting me you bunch of apes! ::Glances down at the blood on his uniform, clenching his fist on his Federation Assault Rifle::
Lt. Commander John Etti:[@TAC] ::trying to translate the code on the consol::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]Rostof needs medical attention.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] I'm fine.
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns/helm] ::she brings the ship into orbit as quickly as possible keeping her eyes on the scanners as if looking for prey::
Private First Class John Wallace:[ESU3] :: Still unharmed, keeping his eyes peeled for any trouble.::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] ::glares around the room as if it would scare off whatever's trying to kill them:: [TAC] Any progress?
Fleet Admiral Chris Erickson:[AMO] ::Rushes to the Sergeant's side, pulling out a medical tricorder::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Grumbles to himselfabout these college boys:: I'm fine I'm fine, go away.. ::Waves off the the AMO::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] [CNS/HELM] Lieutenant, can you get a lock on how many fighters there are?
Lt. Commander John Etti:[@TAC][XO] I have seen computer codes before but this takes the cake...i am still working on it.
Fleet Admiral Chris Erickson:[AMO][TNOIP] Just a small gash ::Pulls out a dermal regenerator and fixes the wound, then puts a pain killer hypo to his neck::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] ::stares through the open door:: [ESU1] We have no choice but to go in there and and try to get the generator shut down. Do you have any suggestions about how to do it unharmed?
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Mutters a few words in old Russian at the AMO, and gets behind the console he was leaning against for cover and concealment::
Fleet Admiral Chris Erickson:@[AMO]::Puts his kit away and picks up his phaser, now back into combat mode::
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns/helm] [co] aye sir around 300 ::she still looks at scanners ::she still keeps her eyes on the scanners::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][XO]We could toss another grenaid in that room.
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] ::Gets out of the comfy Captain's Chair and walks over to the Tactical station::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Glances at the recently opened door:: [ESU2] I still have that other grenade, but we may wanna save it.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] The grenade did nothing here but destroy consoles, we are STILL getting tore up.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU2]I think we really need it about right now...
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] [CNS/HELM] Bring the ship into the upper atmosphere. They can't defend against them alone... Make sure you can still get us out of here quick, so don't get to far in.
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] [ESU1] Grenade wouldn't help.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:==ACTION== Another of the sharp metal objects jabs at Suvok, barely grazing his shoulder but getting dangerously close to the neck wound that the corpses we've found have.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] Remember that sound? These guys are transporting in and out at will, they'll just transport out when the grenade goes in. It won't help us.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU2]Yeah your right...
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] What we should do, is go in in Fireteams. 3 people at a time, covering fire for the people who are moving.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]If we could keep them from transporting somehow.\
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:=Action= The Incursion's sensors, rerouted to Lt. Cordova's station, is picking up all 300 fighters moving toward the Incursion.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] Hmm. [TAC][OPS] Is there any way we can set up a dampening field that would scatter any transport attempts?
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] We don't even know if they are in there.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]They can't be coming from a ship because of the generator...
Lt. Commander Jack:@[OPS][XO] I'm not really sure, it all depends on what we can find
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns/helm] [co] aye sir ::she quickly taps some buttons on the console with her fingers still looking like she's ready for a hunt as she brings the ship into the upper atmosphere being careful to give them room if needed::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU2]I think they are coming for somewhere inside this installation.
Lt. Commander John Etti:[@TAC][XO] Using these controls i will try but it will be difficult.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] Thats a definite.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO][ESU1] Wherever they're coming from, this place is a deathtrap. We need to keep moving. Can we work the sergeant's idea?
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][XO]Yes i believe we can.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]We have to be really alert though they could come from anywhere...
Lieutenant Anita Swift:==Away Team Action== More voices come from the open control room... now, along with warnings of "don't go," there are evilly amused giggles here and there.
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns/helm] [co] sir! we got fighters coming at us now! ::her voice sounding a bit worried::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2]::Peeks his head out from behind the shattered console at the open door, bringing it back behind it after a quick second::
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] [SELF] Let's take their advice..
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][XO]If Etti could find where they are transporting from and shut the transporter off that would be good.
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] [CNS/HELM] Pull us out of the atmosphere, quick!
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[FCAS] ::Chuckles::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] ::Sitting at Tactical station, he brings the ship to red alert and prepares all shields and weapon systems.::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]But anyway everyone get in between the ESU's.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU3]Wallace you got the back.
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] :: Takes a few steps back to the rear of the group.::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] ::grits her teeth at the laugter:: [ESU1] The length of time we'd need for that is too much. Let's go.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] We can't go in in a line.. We need to be Staggered..
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:=Action= A fighter flying ahead of the others fires a Quantum Torpedo at the Incursion.
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns] [co] aye sir ::she quickly taps away at some buttons as quickly as possible, getting them out of the atmosphere, looking worried::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Gets to a low crouch, and slowly goes forward from behind the console toward the door::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU2]Should we kind of make a triangle formation?
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] [CNS/HELM] We'll never be able to shake these fighters...but try anyway.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] No formation, people at random intervals, atleast 10 meters apart from eachother.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]Ok everyone scatter apart as Rostof said.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:==Away Team Action== As the team moves into the next room, they will see single overhead lights flicking on and off, each one with an empty chair in front of a console.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] Have people go in in waves of 3, the people who aren't moving, firing away.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] And when you aren't moving, drop flat.
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:=Action= The rest of the 299 fighters catch up and begin bombarding the Incursion with Quantum Torpedos and phasers.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO][ESU2] Don't damage any equipment if you can help it.
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] ::Reads the Tactical display indicating shields have dropped to 80% already.::
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns/helm [co] aye sir ::she quickly attempts to manuver the ship in the best possible way::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU2]Should there be one Esu in each group?
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Moves quickly towards the new door, setting himself up on the outside of it to the right::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[@ESU2][ESU1] No time, we gotta make this quick. Shock and awe you know?
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] :: Keeping his distance behind the group.::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO][TAC] Commander, you might want to come along with us this time. We can't spare someone to protect you.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]Ok who wants to go first?
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] I got it. I'm already outside the door.
Lt. Commander John Etti:[@tac][XO] Don't worry about it. I will catch up shortly i think i might have this finally cracked.
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] [CNS/HELM] Take us toward the Starbase at half impluse.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:==Away Team Action== Everyone on the away team is suddenly stabbed multiple times with the mysterious sharp things. No pain, however, is felt this time.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]Whos going with Rostof?
Lt. Commander John Etti:[@tac]:: thinks he might finally have it cracked as he enters a few command into the code:
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]Ouch! ::Staggers backwards::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:=Action= The Incursion is bombarded continuously, and with the lack of Engineering crew, the shields completely fail
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] Agh! ::jumps back in complete surprise as she takes a stab in the side, the leg, and the arm::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Swears at the stabbing, thinking we might be getting injected with something::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[CO] ::Activates a Priority One Distress Single, hoping the Away Team hears it.::
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] What the..
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] ::feels for blood, confused by the lack of pain::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] [ESU1] Screw it, I'm going now.
Lt. Commander Jack:@[OPS]::Gets stabbed and looks at the others like they are crazy, then notices that he got stabbed too:: Argh!
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]Run!!
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Charges into the room, firing off two random shots, and dives behind a console::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]Keep your head down and your eyes open.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[XO] ::also runs into the second control room::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:=Action= The enemy fighters bombard the Incursion again this time to it's end. The USS Incursion, Pathfinder Class, explodes in space above the planet.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1]::Follows behind the XO into the second room::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:::Low crawls from console to console, glancing around at everything::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[FCAS/CO][Rico] Satisfied?
Lieutenant Anita Swift:==Away Team Action== The door slams shut behind the team once all of them have moved into the new room.
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] :: Runs, dives and crawls.::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:[Rico] ::Nods::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][Rico] Me too...[COMP] Computer, end simulation.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2][ESU1] See anything?
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:@[ESU1][ESU2]No not yet. But keep your eyes open.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:@[ESU2] ::Shakes his head, sitting against a console, resting his rifle on his outstreched legs::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[SO] ::looks around, tense in the odd new room::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:==ACTION== The crew's surroundings disappear, replacing it is a holodeck.
Lt. Commander John Etti:[@tac]::stands up and places his hands to his side and looks at the others::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:@[SO] ::gapes::
Private First Class John Wallace:@[ESU3] :: Stands, looking very confused.::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Stands in a holodeck?::
Lt. Commander Jack:@[OPS] ::Blinks quite a bit, very confused::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] Yep. ::Stands up, grumbling:: I shoulda been heroic and stuff eh?
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO]::His hands are crossed behind his back::[ALL] Good job...you blew up my ship.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::resists the urge to slam her fist into the wall, instead just staring Alex down::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel stood dressed in his standard black/grey BDUs, as he stood behind the Fleet Captain in an attention position with his hands clasped neatly behind his back, as he stared straight ahead keeping his ears open::
Lt. Commander John Etti:[ Tac][CO] ::grins:: Oops.
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] [CO] Well, it's a good excuse for me not going to work Monday morning, Cappin'
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Chuckles to himself, shaking his head, before going to attention::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][ALL] But of course...that was all planned.
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][ALL] Congratulations, you all were able to demonstrate you can act well under stressful conditions. I'm sorry to have pulled the rest of the crew into this, but this "exam" was mainly for the ESU boys.
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][ALL] Now, everyone go get cleaned up and we'll rendezvous in the Main Dining Hall at 0800...Dress Uniform mandatory.
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][ALL] Dismissed.
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][SO] Lieutenant Brainless, a word, if you will.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Does an about face, and exits the Sim area::
Private First Class John Wallace:[ESU3] :: Exits and heads to his quarters.::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Sticks his tounge out at the new Lieutenant as he passes by to exit::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]::Begins heading toward turbolift after exiting the holodeck.::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::frowns and just walks forward::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:==ACTION== Swift is now CO, Sharp XO, and Anita is SO
Lt. Commander Jack:[OPS] ::Leaves and heads to his quarters to get ready for the dining hall meeting::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO]::Ruffles her hair::[SO] Good work.
Lt. Commander John Etti:[TAC] ::walks off to his old quarters and gets changed::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Makes his way to the enlisted Quarters, to change in his grey enlisted dress uniform::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Exits the holodeck and heads to his quarters to change::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]::Steps off turbolift and heads towards his quaters.::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel went at ease, as he relaxed his posture a bit and turned about and walked out of the Holodeck's exit. He turned a sharp right as he continued to walk down the hallway, his boots made a steady clicking sound
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:as it hit the surface of the walkarea a bit::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Quickly changes into his dress uniform and exits his quarters for the Turbolift::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO][CO] Mm. Yeah. Can't say I really like having this crew's fears played with like that, Alex...
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Upon entering his living space, he cleans himself up, and polishes up everything needing polishing on his uniform::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][SO]
Lt. Commander Jack:[OPS] ::Enters his quarters and begins to clean himself up::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::As he was already changed into his uniform, he proceeded down the corridor and walked quietly towards the nearest Turbo Lift. He thought to himself as he passed by a few of the Incursion's crew members, as he politely nodded to
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Puts it on, looking himself over in the mirror, making corrections to his appearance::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:them all as he passed by::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Enters the Turbolift and because no one is on duty on the Incursion's Bridge...:: [TL] Bridge.
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][SO] Yeah, neither do I...but Erickson wanted to make sure he was making the right decision before he...::Communicates with her Telepathically::
Private First Class John Wallace:[ESU3] :: Arrives at his quarters and cleans himself up.::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]::Steps out of his crew quaters having cleaned up and put on his dress unform.::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::sighs defeatedly:: [CO] I guess I can see that.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Once he is certain he has made himself look as sharp as possible, he looks himself over again::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Hates wearing the dress uniform...but does it anyway. Also arrives on the Bridge to get a little work done before the dinner starts::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Gives a nod to himself in the mirror, and exits his living space::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]::Heads toward turbolift.::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:==ACTION== Time passes and the crew slowly files into the conference/dining hall
Lt. Commander Jack:[OPS] ::Changes into his formal wear and begins to rest just a little before the Dining Hall Meeting::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Likes his new ability to fly::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::in that "time passes," has since gone to her quarters and gotten changed::
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1][TL]Dining hall.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Makes his way into the dining hall area, looking as much like a poster marine as he can::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel stepped into the Mess Hall as he reached up with his right hand and removed the beret from his head, lowering his hand and placing it into his right cargo pocket. He stepped to the side of the Hall as he
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]::Steps off turbolift and proceeds to dining hall.::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:entered it, and glanced about side to side, seeing if anyone else had also come in::
Lt. Commander John Etti:[TAC]::walks to the dining room wearing his dress uniform::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::enters the dining hall, looking to see who has gotten there before her::
Private First Class John Wallace:[ESU3] :: In his dress uniform, he steps into the dining hall.::

Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Gets on a turbolift:: [Comp] Dining hall.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::After a short ride, he step off the turbolift and enters the dining hall::
Fleet Admiral Chris Erickson:[FACE] ::Clips his brass bars onto the sleeves of his dress uniform as he goes through the agenda for the gathering tonight::[BRASS] Shall we?
Lieutenant Jessica Cordova:[cns/helm] ::in the time that has passed she has gotten changed into her dress uniform, steps into the dining hall, still looking mad::
Vice Admiral Sioned Gwynne:[VASG][FACE] Sounds like a plan.
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::moves over to take a seat::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Walks over to the Lieutenant Colonel:: Fun simulation.
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel approached a table close to the center-front of the Dining Room, as he reached over and pulled out a seat for himself to sit in. As he did so, he tilted his neck, cracking it as it moved from side to side::
General Robert Staf:[GRS] ::Hasn't had a chance to really use his Marine Dress Uniform as of yet, and smiles to the Fleet Admiral singling he is ready::
Vice Admiral Evets Kelemvor:{VAEK}{ACE} Lets do it
Lt. Commander Jack:[OPS]::Enters Dining Hall and takes the first seat he sees open, farthest from anyone::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::He looked over to his Master Sergeant, nodding a bit as he lowered himself down on to the seat, and moved closer towards the table as he rested his hands down on his lap:: Affirmative, Sergeant.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1]::Takes a seat at the table.::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO]::Heads over to a seat and plops into it, still grumbling about the stiffness of his uniform::
Private First Class John Wallace:[ESU3] :: Takes a seat, trying not to be by anyone.::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO][XO] Looking "Sharp
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::smirks at Alex:: +tele+[CO] You look like a toy soldier.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Goes to a place at the table away from the officers, near PFC Wallace::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Enters the hall Swiftly (Pun intended) and takes a seat beside his Captain::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::He looked over towards the Brass as they began filtering inside of the Dining Room as well. He reached down and straightened out his uniform jacket, seeing how it shifted a bit on his body as he sat down::
Lt. Commander John Etti:[Tac] ::looked over and see Selphi over near the doorway, he gets up and walks over to her and smiles [Strife] Hello./
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2][ESU3] Wonder what this is about.
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO]+TELE+[SO] Yeah, you look nice too.
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2][ESU3] I have an idea but I could be wrong.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife:[Strife] ::: wearing her typical class C Avalon uniform, her hair a bit dishelved from working on her systems. [TAC] Hi, what's going on?
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel sat away from the officers, and now the enlisted as he noticed them taking seat a few tables away from his own::
Private First Class John Wallace:[ESU3] [ESU2] Well.. I'm just here to be here.
2nd Lieutenant Suvok:[ESU1][ESU's]Those pointy things worked us over pretty good huh.
Lt. Commander Jack:[OPS]::Sits impatiently, wondering when this whole thing will go underway::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2][ESU1] Overrated. A real weapon would have killed us all.
Fleet Admiral Chris Erickson:[FACE]::Heads into the dining hall::
Vice Admiral Sioned Gwynne:[VASG] ::tugs at the white and gold dress uniform briefly in some attempt at making her 47-year-old figure make the uniform look good before coming into full view of the crew::
Master Sergeant Jack Rostof:[ESU2] ::Gets out of his seat and to his feet, going to attention::
General Robert Staf:[GRS] ::Enters the dining hall with the other members of the Admiralty pushing the loose hairs back on his head to remain unseen::

Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel looked over to the Fleet Admiral, as he gave him his full attention now. He shifted a bit in his seat as well, to ensure that he did not have to strain his neck so much in an attempt to see the other fellow
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:officers as well::

Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:[CO]::Stands and applauds::
Fleet Commander Nicholas Sharp:[XO] ::Applauds louder than the captain::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::As he turned his glance over to the right and looked at the Fleet Captain, he smiled a bit as he remembered a former Lieutenant from his unit. His notorious "clapping" heard at the most awkward moments of silence::
Lieutenant Anita Swift:[SO] ::as one of those being applauded, feels it would be inappropriate for her to join in... so simply lets it fall over her ears::
Fleet Captain Alexander Swift:==ACTION== The room erupts into applause, then falls silent

Fleet Admiral Chris Erickson:[FACE]::Stands aside, relieving the podium::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora:[Andora] ::Still looking blank but with an edge of confusion.::
General Robert Staf:[GRS] ::Steps forward to the podium, scanning over the assembled officers for a second::
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:::The Lieutenant Colonel now gave his attentio to the speaker at the podium, as his head slowly moved towards the center-front of the Dining Room. He moved his hands up from his lap and rest them on the surface of his own table,
Lt. Colonel Johnny Rico:resting them one on top of another::
General Robert Staf:[GRS] [ALL] The Starfleet Marine Corps has had a rough start. We've had some trouble getting off the ground, and recently two individuals have been singled out amoung all Marines.
