(21:15:47) TAC_Cadet_Randen: :: In his quarters, packing a light duffel bag for the brief mission. Dreading the state his quarters will be in when he gets back, knowing how his roommate is. ::

(21:17:38) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Floating through the corridor with a youthful skip in his step, with the orders to report to the Odyssey. He had a small bag with him containing some of his tools, a bottle of ale and his pipe. He couldn't wait to see what things Odyssey would whisper to him.::
(21:17:47) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: passes Ian and peeks into his box, raising an eyebrow. She should know by now, their ideas of "necessities" differs greatly ::
(21:18:00) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Hey, I took a book.
(21:18:50) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: shoulders the bag ::
(21:19:21) MED_Ens_DrSlade: CMO: Sir, I am aware of the procedure for a physical. The admiral was here, and he is notorious for dodging his physicals. I did an abreviated version yes but....

(21:20:24) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::lifts up his other hand to stop Tyler speaking:: MED: You do not abbreviate physicals, full stop. Whether it's a first year Cadet or the President of the Federation himself. You certainly don't jab a commanding officer with a hypospray.

You're lucky that Admiral Blackthorne left your care in my hands - I am fairly sure he was angry enough to chew you up and use you to stick hull plates to the
(21:22:43) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: Atlantis.
(21:23:18) XO_Capt_TKirr: CO: Yes, I can sense it this time.

(21:29:05) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: <ACTION> As people make it to the Odyssey, the computer allows access, but directs Atlantis crew toward the aft of the ship.
(21:29:48) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: finds it odd that they are being directed towards the aft ::
(21:31:28) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> The Odyssey, while huge and impressive on the outside, has an air of still being unfinished on the inside.
(21:31:43) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Seething with fury, makes a quick stop by his quarters to find no T'Lira. Grabs a bag and heads to the Odyssey trying to remain calm and accept his punishment and move on. Even though he did not punish the last person who broke the rules::
(21:32:05) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Hums to himself about going to the after. Supposes a meeting in engineering perhaps, to see a prototype warp core or drive. Gets even faster; quite spry for a 'frail old man'.::

(21:32:58) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: heads straight aft, knowing this part :: XO: She's unfinished, of course, but could be the next generation.
(21:34:00) XO_Capt_TKirr: CO: After seeing the Atlantis for some time in an unfinished state, I can imagine how the Odyssey will be different.
(21:35:02) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Boards the ship and heads aft as instructed, curious::
(21:35:14) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::puts his things in order and grabs the small bag he'd packed, slinging it over his shoulder before tapping his comm badge:: *Vinland_OPS*: Station Ops, this is Commander Kymar Dremel. Requesting transport to the Odysssey, I'm running late.
(21:35:46) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> As the Atlantis crew arrives at the aft bay, a Helpful Yeoman directs everyone straight into the Aquarius-class Light Escort, the USS Aquarius.
(21:36:21) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: <Vinland_OPS> *CMO*: Transporting you now, Commander. You're being redirected to the Aquarius.

(21:36:54) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> Kymar beams directly to the Aquarius's sickbay. Such as it is.
(21:37:06) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: still mildly confused as to what this is about. And this type of ship is also new... fascinating. ::
(21:37:31) MED_Ens_DrSlade: ::Sees T'Lira and catches up keeping in tow::

(21:38:02) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: hears footsteps rapidly draw closer behind her and turns slightly :: MED: Hello, Tyler.
(21:38:02) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: boards the Aquarius and looks around as if he was back in his Academy dorm room :: Isn't this cozy.
(21:38:42) TAC_Cadet_Randen: :: Finally makes it to the end of the line boarding the Odyssey. He sees a few familiar crewmates up about 100 feet ahead. He sees them turning Aft once inside and gets the hint that is the way to go. His legs didn't take long to start feeling tired once in line. He didn't realise how big Vinland was until he had to walk across it. ::
(21:38:52) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Its creepy how you do that :: Smiles and takes her free hand, and kisses it::
(21:39:14) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::spots the biobed, the medical scanner and what looks like a surgical cart:: Self: I think I'm starting to get claustrophobic.
(21:39:32) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: As my hearing is naturally superior to the average being, I do not see how it can be... "creepy"? :: ah, a new confusing thing for the day ::
(21:39:37) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: notes the smaller ship with even more curiosity, and that Blackthorne is having fun with this mystery ::
(21:39:53) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: heads to the wee ship's bridge ::

(21:41:38) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Ill see you tomorrow, Im on Beta and Delta shifts until further notice. Ill tell you about it later
(21:42:04) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: Computer, register T'Kirr, Captain as Executive Officer, effective immediately.
(21:42:07) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: takes note of each station on the little bridge ::
(21:42:16) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: I see. However, you did mention... quite a while ago... that you wished to speak with me. I can think of no better time.
(21:42:24) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: <Computer> Executive Officer installed.
(21:42:58) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Analyses every inch of this Aquarius class starship as he goes. It was meeting up to his scrutiny; it was cosy and functional.:: Self: I could have used a ship like this during the Dominion war.....
(21:43:51) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::moves over to one of the shiny, sleek-looking consoles, tapping out some instructions:: *Bridge*: Bridge, this is Sickbay. Sadly.
(21:43:56) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: tosses his bag into the center seat :: *Shipwide* All staff, report to the bridge.
(21:44:06) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: *Sickbay* Blackthorne here, Doctor.
(21:44:51) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: *CO*: Ah, Admiral. I was hoping you could clarify what we're doing here? Vinland Ops dropped me in this shoebox with a bed they think passes as a medical facility.
(21:45:00) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: moves to a console and takes a look around the computer ::
(21:45:20) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: *CMO* Come to the bridge and all will be made clear, Doctor.

(21:45:39) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::sighs, hoping the comm doesn't pick that up:: *CO*: On my way, Admiral. Sickbay out.
(21:46:18) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::drops his bag on the Biobed, adjusting his belt and lab coat, then makes his way out of the room and almost immediately into a Turbolift. A single deck later, he pops out onto the Bridge::
(21:46:19) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Well this time unfortunately is not a good time being on a new ship and trying to stay out of trouble. Breakfast together... Agreed

(21:46:47) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::glances around at the assembled crew:: CO: If I'd known the bridge was this close I'd have yelled instead of using the comm.
(21:47:06) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CMO: It would have worked, I think.
(21:47:16) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: Agreed. If you will excuse me, apparently I must report to the bridge. Perhaps I will learn something about the impending mission.
(21:47:24) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Rushes through the bridge doors.:: CO: Oh admiral! This ship... I'll take her! Does she come in blue?
(21:47:44) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::nods, agreeing wholeheartedly::

(21:50:48) SEC_2LT_Suzuki: :: notes the Admiral and takes a few steps toward him to close the distance :: Sir. I understand you require the services of a pilot today?
(21:50:50) Zaxiven [Brayn@Test-7AC25CF1.bvtn.or.frontiernet.net] entered the room.
(21:51:26) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: SEC: I do. Audition well and you can end up on Atlantis.
(21:52:36) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: stands straight and faces the assemblage, her hands folded behind her ::
(21:52:46) SEC_2LT_Suzuki: :: nods smartly :: CO: It would be an honor, sir. Permission to take my post.
(21:53:10) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: SEC: Granted. Obtain departure clearance from both Odyssey and Vinland control.

(22:18:07) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::glances over at Slade:: MED: Ensign. I'll leave Sickbay under your dutiful watch, I don't think there's enough room for two people in there.
(22:18:36) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: steps over to the science console and types in her access code, bringing up the display and reviewing the controls briefly ::
(22:18:54) MED_Ens_DrSlade: CMO: Understood Commander :: Turns and walks away to sickbay::
(22:18:55) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Wonders how extensive the technology is, as he starts getting some ideas. Starts jotting them down on a PADD as possible suggestions.::
(22:19:12) TAC_Cadet_Randen: :: Arrives on the Bridge :: CO: Reporting as ordered.
(22:19:50) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: TAC: I think they need to go over arriving promptly at the Academy, cadet. You almost missed the boat.
(22:19:57) NAV_2LT_Suzuki: :: as the ship clears the space doors on the power of the thrusters, she inputs another command to execute another neat turn to begin their trajectory toward the Mutara sector. As they clear the station, she checks the course one final time and engages at warp six as ordered. ::
(22:20:16) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::sighs as Slade walks out, wondering when hurt puppy-dog thing would stop::
(22:20:31) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> The little ship warps off into the black.
(22:20:32) TAC_Cadet_Randen: :: Takes the Tactical Console. :: CO: Yes Sir.
(22:20:45) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: notes Randen's arrival ::
(22:21:05) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: TAC: As I've been saying, we're on a wargame to sneak up to Earth in this stealth ship. I'll need ideas.
(22:22:34) TAC_Cadet_Randen: SCI: Any spacial anomolies on the way that disrupts sensors?
(22:22:42) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: Bridge: Take your stations and see what we have to work with. I want ideas once we reach Mutara.
(22:23:40) SCI_LtJG_TLira: TAC: I am currently mapping potential routes for those. I predict that there will be several. However, asteroids that contain sufficient amounts of sensor-disrupting minerals will also suffice. And there will be quite a few of those.
(22:23:45) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::decides that his station will be leaning against the railing behind the Captain's chair:: CO: So how exactly does this 'stealth' technology work? Can't we just cloak and fly our way to Earth?
(22:24:08) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Monitors the warp core briefly, seeing how she sings, before getting on with the shield specs, then the sensor, and the deflector array. This was going to be a real treat.::
(22:24:46) TAC_Cadet_Randen: SCI: Could we tow one of those with a tractor beam to mask our trail?
(22:24:58) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CMO: Not when they're actively hunting us. It sinks our emissions, but we can be seen visually, and an active hunt would turn us up eventually anyway, emissions sinking or not.
(22:25:18) SCI_LtJG_TLira: TAC: Do you believe that an asteroid that appears to be moving at warp speeds will not attract unwanted attention?
(22:25:32) NAV_2LT_Suzuki: :: gets used to the feel of this ship at warp under her hands, feet, and bottom ::
(22:25:55) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::nods, staring out at the starscape on the viewscreen for a moment:: CO: So we're like a paklu? Quiet and almost invisible in the foliage, unless you know what you're looking for?
(22:26:15) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CMO: Whatever that is, probably.
(22:26:24) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: moves his bag out of the center seat and sits down ::
(22:26:27) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: CO: Tasty, mostly.
(22:26:47) TAC_Cadet_Randen: SCI: I see your point.
(22:26:55) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CMO: Mm, I like it already. :: finds the chair to be annoyingly not his ::
(22:27:03) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: CMO: We've got to hide in all the right places. Asteroid belts, nebulae, gas giant atmospheres... the corona of a star.
(22:27:03) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: lifts an eyebrow but continues to go through star charts on her console ::
(22:27:10) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: <Palukoo>
(22:28:20) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: jumps in next to Randen at a secondary console, really just shifting from where she was and facing the wall, assisting tactical ::
(22:29:09) Zaxiven: :: stands in the galley. While it's not what he loves, crafting drinks... He can make this work as well. He checks the time and sees that it's time to begin the next meal ::
(22:29:43) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: sits next to Blackthorne, noting she's closer to him than when seated on Atlantis ::
(22:29:56) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Bit tighter a squeeze, eh?
(22:29:58) TAC_Cadet_Randen: Bridge: What if we warp-throw a few as decoys? They would keep the speed for a while once released wouldn't they?
(22:30:11) XO_Capt_TKirr: CO: It's a good thing we're well acquainted.
(22:30:22) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Quite.
(22:30:43) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::standing just behind them both:: CO/XO: It's really cosy here. Warmth won't be an issue.
(22:30:58) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: begins reviewing the ship's specs ::
(22:31:01) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: TAC: They would immediately slow to sublight being outside a warp field, and immediately give away our position and trajectory since asteroids don't normally move at any appreciable fraction of C.
(22:31:25) NAV_2LT_Suzuki: :: listening to the conversation behind her, recalls reading in their profiles that the CO and XO are married. Not that it makes any difference to her. ::
(22:31:32) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: chuckles at the doctor, glad to be back in space in command of something, even if this ship is not home ::
(22:32:10) TAC_Cadet_Randen: CO: I'm liking the cloak idea more and more.
(22:32:31) LCdr_Wolfe: :: quietly stands at attention, surprised but happy to be there unnoticed until he's needed. ::
(22:32:52) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: TAC: Not to mention the terrible potential impact of throwing an asteroid at an appreciable fraction of C and it hitting a planet 10,000 years from now that we didn't anticipate. Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest in space.
(22:33:13) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: notices the new officers, but he seems quite content where he is, so she doesn't acknowledge him ::
(22:34:04) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: looks around :: Bridge: Many new faces, many familiar faces, and some missing faces. But we'll make a cohesive crew.
(22:34:24) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: Bridge: The quarters are certainly close enough for it.
(22:34:55) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Sits quietly in the small sickbay and begins his report on proper physical procedures, the quicker it is done the quicker it can be in the past::
(22:35:39) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: reading :: CO: These emission specifications are...impressive.
(22:36:42) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::ponders for a moment:: XO/CO: Do you think it masks lifesigns to active scans? That could be a way to pinpoint us.
(22:36:47) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Laughs at how exciting it all is, enjoying every little thought that popped into his head.:: Self: Its like a smuggling run.
(22:37:25) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: That they are. Imagine it on the scale of a large ship. CMO: Now that's a bloody good question.
