(21:26:34) CEO_LtQuinn: CO: True enough, sir! Thankfully, a lot more durable than the stand in we hit! Nice bit of improvisation at the very end, by the way.
(21:27:17) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CEO: Thank you, thank you. Nice job on your staff for keeping the ship together, as well. To what do I owe this visit?

(21:29:32) CEO_LtQuinn: :: Abruptly stops drumming the PADD. :: Ah, yes. And, thank you! I'll pass that along. I just thought you'd like the final report on how the Cryo Stealth performed. How long it took to vent, how much actual bleed it released, and so on.

(21:30:00) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: sits in the lounge aboard Starbase One, wondering where Wright and Harper are ::
(21:30:05) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CEO: Indeed. That was, after all, the entire point of the exercise.

What do you think so far?
(21:32:11) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: It seems we have arrived. How exactly do we plan to... break the news? I do not believe a simple blurted comment would be appropriate here?
(21:32:25) CEO_LtQuinn: :: Hands him over the PADD. ::
(21:32:33) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CEO: Excellent. From what I can tell, the thing performed admirably. :: takes the PADD and looks it over ::

(21:34:11) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Brings the glass to his nose, smelling it before sipping and swilling it around his mouth, scanning the tones of the drink. He was certain it synthahol swill or at the very least; poorly replicated.::
(21:34:36) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: thinks it over :: MED: Unless either one of us has experience with this sort of thing, I believe it should be a joint effort.
(21:35:21) CEO_LtQuinn: CO: Yes, sir. Even with all the shielding, it doesn't QUITE blend perfectly in with the background radiation. Especially when the sinks are over 80% capacity. So, if we have to use this tech for real, I'd advise more frequent venting when possible.
(21:35:39) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: glances down at her feet and twitches the tip of her tail atop them. Finally, she gets up and heads to her temporary quarters ::
(21:35:48) CEO_LtQuinn: CO: But whoever was scanning for us would have needed to know what they were looking for. And some luck never hurts.
(21:35:57) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Alright then I will begin by asking for the moment to speak and then we will take cues from one aother.
(21:36:08) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CEO: It will only improve, but it's an amazing start.
(21:36:17) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: Agreed. That seems to be the best course of action.
(21:36:55) CEO_LtQuinn: :: Fidgets subtly. :: Yes, sir. I'm certainly inclined to agree.
(21:37:13) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CEO: Thank you, lieutenant. Was there anything else?
(21:38:10) CEO_LtQuinn: CO: No, sir. In fact, unless you have anything else for me, I was wondering if I have your permission to kick off until we're recalled.
(21:38:18) MED_Ens_DrSlade: ::They continued down the hallway to the office door:: SCI: Here goes :: Pushes the door chime::
(21:38:26) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: CEO: Please do.

I'm so happy to be able to share them with you. :: she said, smiling back at Kate while climbing a set of steps carved into the rock ::

(21:46:35) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::calmly packs the equipment away, a thin sheen of sweat on his forehead and a touch of breathlessness on his lips::
(21:46:41) MED_Ens_DrSlade: CO: Well Sir, with such an extended period I am sure you understand how things can happen
(21:47:20) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: eyes narrow :: What... things, exactly?
(21:47:48) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: loves the forest air, takes a deep lungful as they hike ::
(21:47:57) SCI_LtJG_TLira: CO: After a set amount of time in another person's company, one can begin to form a relationship... :: did that sound awkward? probably so ::

(21:49:54) MED_Ens_DrSlade: CO: T'Lira and I have formed such a relationship, and in that relationship as you know comes the physical part.

(21:50:47) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: what was that about throwing caution to the wind, ah yes... but to decide whether to simply say it flat out was still a mild struggle ::
(21:51:05) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: looks up at the door chime, intrinsically knowing who it is :: Come in.
(21:51:28) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: enters, sees Blackthorne and the backs of Slade and T'Lira, stops ::

(21:52:57) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: stands up and crosses to the bar, then pours himself a scotch ::
(21:53:19) MED_Ens_DrSlade: CO: Well sir we know how it occurred but i mean with the innoculations.

(22:08:09) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: laughs :: Oh, trust me, I'm not crazy enough to dive in there! Although I might be convinced to hike around down to the water level and dip my feet in it if you wanted.
(22:08:11) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: SCI/MED: You were both eligible for promotion at the end of this mission, and it was actually in processing. Your actions have forced me to deny that promotion and place a formal reprimand on your record.

(22:10:17) MED_Ens_DrSlade: CO: Admiral Sir if I may, Please punish me but not reprimand T'Lira. Being the medical officer I should have been mindful of the innoculations. I take full responsibility!

(22:13:50) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: bites back what probably would have been an unwelcome retort and wonders why she even thought of it :: CO: Aye sir.
(22:14:11) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: SCI/MED: ::sharply :: Dismissed!
(22:14:30) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: stands and offers a salute ::
(22:14:43) MED_Ens_DrSlade: ::Stands and salutes as well::
(22:17:06) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: goes back to pinching the bridge of his nose as they leave ::
(22:17:23) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar: ::drops his stuff off in the quarters he's been assigned, his rank giving him a decent sized room with a large window overlooking the Earth as it rotatoes slowly below. Sitting down in the chair face it he stares out at the blue-green ball and reflects on the last few days in silence::
(22:17:28) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: watches Slade and T'Lira go, having overheard enough of the situation and repercussions to not have to ask when the eventual processing goes through her hands ::
(22:17:53) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Walks out of the office with T'Lira::
(22:18:21) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: lets out a long sigh, shakes his head and takes a drink ::
(22:18:33) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Kids these days.
(22:18:37) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: I daresay that went well.
(22:19:25) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: I think it could have gone better, but it could have been worse as well. I admire your attempt at sarcasm though!
(22:20:07) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: I am gratified at that. :: wonders when Commander Harper gets back so she can quite simply, get this over with ::
(22:20:55) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: perks an eyebrow again at Blackthorne's summary :: CO: It's difficult to believe such a thing would happen, but apparently not impossible.
(22:22:18) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Wakes up startled; wondering what bar, on what planet, in what squalid of the galaxy he's in. The surrounds unfamiliar for a moment. For he gets his bearings, rubs his eyes, and sits back again.::
(22:22:18) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Not unheard of, no. Regardless, we all take our damn shots.
(22:22:45) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: :: beams up to the Starbase ::
(22:23:16) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: sits on the sofa :: CO: It's more that I wouldn't expect it from two such officers.
(22:23:59) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: sits on the rocky shore and pulls off her hiking boots and socks, rolling up the legs of her pants ::
(22:24:04) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Same here. :: sighs and sits next to her ::
(22:24:28) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: does likewise, eyeing the crystalline waters ::
(22:24:56) XO_Capt_TKirr: CO: And I would imagine they're somewhat in shock as well.
(22:25:14) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: So... what now?
(22:26:07) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Well like the Admiral said, it isnt a career ending situation. I say we keep working hard as we always do.
(22:26:33) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: With much to deal with. I certainly remember it. But that doesn't change the practical effects of it that we'll have to deal with. I could have simply chosen not to allow them aboard.
(22:26:47) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: lifts an eyebrow slightly :: MED: Apologies, it seems I wasn't quite clear. I meant, what do we do now? Wander the station, visit Earth...
(22:27:15) XO_Capt_TKirr: CO: Indeed. I will take time to consider the situation.
(22:27:44) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Buuuut we can't really spare anyone right now, so yeah, consider. Reminds me, we're at Earth, I need to visit Ross.
(22:28:24) XO_Capt_TKirr: CO: You should.
(22:30:13) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: finishes dinner from a low coffee table they customarily use ::
(22:30:24) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Well he didnt revoke our shore leave, and we are here so maybe we should go visit your little boy again. I am up for lasagna
(22:30:24) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: :: finds out where they've put Ian up, goes there, and rings the chime ::
(22:30:29) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: Come in!
(22:30:42) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: That sounds like a most agreeable idea.
(22:30:51) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: :: enters :: Ian! Congratulations on the win!
(22:31:02) SEC_Lt_Kuari: Ruari> Kuari: I'm glad you liked it. Can you stay the night?
(22:31:19) NAV_2Lt_Suzuki: :: sits under a kotatsu, sipping tea with her family ::
(22:31:25) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: stands when Zuriyev enters ::
(22:31:49) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: stands as well and shakes the Admiral's hand :: Thanks, Alexi. Couldn't let you beat me, after all.
(22:32:17) MED_Ens_DrSlade: SCI: Then lets go pack a bag and get to the transporter room
(22:32:27) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: cups her hands and drinks some of the water ::
(22:32:27) XO_Capt_TKirr: DAQO: And I couldn't let you beat him.
(22:32:28) TAC_2LT_Randen: :: Goes to the lounge and gets a coffee. Goes to the window to look down at Earth. Waiting for the green light to go down. He sips his coffee. ::
(22:32:38) SCI_LtJG_TLira: MED: Agreed.
(22:32:56) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO/XO: Well, not that I can blame you, after all. Good job testing the ship out.
(22:33:06) SEC_Lt_Kuari: Ruari: Yes I can. Can we go fly for a while?
(22:33:19) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Head back to their quarters to get their belongings::
(22:33:38) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: follows suit, running her tongue over her wet lips :: Kate: So fresh and clean!
(22:34:11) CAG_Cdr_Harper: Lexy: Crisp, clean, perfect. :: fills her canteen after dumping it on a plant ::
(22:34:41) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: DAQO: Thanks again. It was fun.
(22:34:51) SEC_Lt_Kuari: Ruari> Kuari: Of course! :: stands up and heads with Kuari to the balcony :: It's been years, it seems, hasn't it?
(22:35:25) CSO_LCdr_Wright: Kate: This is where the McKenzie River comes up from underground. The water flowing out from the end of the pool is that river we hiked past on our way up here. :: does the same with her canteen ::
(22:35:28) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO/XO: Care to step it up a bit?
(22:35:53) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: DAQO: What do you mean?
(22:36:03) CEO_LtQuinn: :: Perks up at the fizzling type sound against the hull that signals their shuttle has just passed through the atmospheric shield and entered into the dome the covers the Vesta spaceport. :: Dang, how long's it been?
(22:36:04) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: glances at Blackthorne ::
(22:36:18) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO/XO: Well, I promised your crew a reward if you won. Since my ship -
(22:36:22) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: DAQO: My ship.
(22:36:42) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO/XO: - the Atlantis is still in refit, care to take the USS Odyssey out for a spin?
(22:36:57) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: raises both eyebrows ::
(22:37:11) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: grins :: Yes, I think we would like that very much.
(22:37:33) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: CO/XO: the balcony window, jumps onto the railing and off in one move ::
(22:38:02) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: DAQO: I thought you might say that. And we need some people to put her through some trials, and I knew an available crew.
(22:39:12) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: DAQO: We'll take care of her, then.
(22:40:21) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO/XO: You'd better, hate to dent the future.
(22:40:44) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: dips her foot in the water ::
(22:41:29) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO/XO: So, Brooke is expecting you both for dinner, da?
(22:41:34) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: takes a deep breath and holds it, stepping into the water with both feet up to the ankles :: Kate: NgggaAAAh that's COLD!
(22:42:09) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: follows her in, taking in a breath, but is able to bear it :: Lexy: Wellllll...
(22:42:20) ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr: ::Hand tremors again in his lap. Sighs, before dozing off again.::
(22:42:28) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: looks over to T'Kirr, then back to Alexi :: Da. I mean yes.
(22:42:39) SCI_LtJG_TLira: :: finishes packing her bag ::
(22:43:00) XO_Capt_TKirr: DAQO: We would be honored.
(22:43:21) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: DAQO: Her meat pies would be a reason enough to return to Earth.
(22:43:32) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: hastily hops back out of the water, squeaking about cold cold cold ::
(22:44:07) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: calmly walks out of the water with a grin ::
(22:44:41) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: CO: Yes, they are delicious! I never knew that the Brits could actually make something taste good before I met her.
(22:45:03) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Finishes packing and heads to the transporter room with T'Lira::
(22:45:19) CO_VAdmBlackthorne: :: chuckles ::
(22:47:17) DAQO_AdmACZuriyev: XO: And do not worry, she will have some nice vegetarian fare for you as well.
(22:47:48) MED_Ens_DrSlade: :: Gets to the transporter room and waits for T'Lira to tell the crewman where to send us::
(22:48:27) SEC_Lt_Kuari: :: gleefully flies the sky of San Francisco with her mother, making sure to stay out of the traffic lanes ::
(22:48:40) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: bows her head ::
(22:50:15) CMO_Cmdr_Kymar left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(22:50:25) SCI_LtJG_TLira: Crewman: Starfleet Childcare Center, please.
(22:51:49) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: dances around on the rocks, scowling at Kate's smug expression ::
(22:52:27) CEO_LtQuinn: :: Takes the public stairs down from the starport, and is soon enough surrounded by rock, metal and artificial lighting for miles around him. And as he keeps walking, he finally comes to a railing, leans over it, and stares down the central spine. Half a mile wide, 5 deep, and swarming with hover cars. The central access point to anywhere on Vesta. ::
(22:52:51) CEO_LtQuinn: :: Whistles again. :: You forget just what a sight it is after awhile.
(22:53:03) CAG_Cdr_Harper: :: dries her feet and puts her socks and boots back on, grinning at Lexy ::
