Hi Annika...Alas we must head back to work....:: offers her payment to hotel clerk with a Thank you ::

Still, it was fun.

why did you let me pack so much

Porter> ::retrieves his bags and takes them to the lobby for Pilot::

:: Gila and Violet stood at the door for a beat then entered :: "We are ready to go when you are Erich."

Aye... You know I was really starting to enjoy not having any responsibility. Is it too early to retire?

Captain McFly

Aye... You know I was really starting to enjoy not having any responsibility. Is it too early to retire?

((yes))

Have you put 20 years in?

::Has a satchel with a couple of PADDs and a sample case filled with bioluminescent plant clippings. He spent most of the last day getting paperwork done to confirm the plants can come with::

At least

Then no, it is not.

Kansas Kenickie

:::Looks around::: Why am I talking to myself

((Because you need expert advice))

1

At least you're not still a Lieutenant Commander...

"I only have a few things to pack away." :: He saw them both in casual wear ::

Bah, sometimes I wouldn't mind being an ensign again. Get to do all the shooting and make no decisions.

:::Tosses her bags on the troll and pulls the cart out of the room and onto the lift::

::enters the lobby and retrieves his bags that were awaiting him, looking around to see McFly and Beran:: (edited)

But then you'd be back in the lower decks in the bunks... Oof

Bajoran Porter> :: assists with bags onto luggage cart ::

::overhears the Captain's description of being an Ensign and raises an eyebrow, figures it does not apply to medical officers::

::tips her porter::

Manticore's bunks aren't that bad. Better than California class bunks anyway.

2

::heads over to McFly and Faldek:: Captain, Commander. Ready to go home?

I was getting restless. So yes I am ready.

::see's pilot and sips his drink:: ...No, but here we are.

:::Steps off the lift and sends her bags to the holding area::

Bajoran Porter> :: rolls luggage to taxi area Callista follows in tow ::

Hover Cab> :: screeches to halt infront of Callista...:: Share a ride Annika?

Yes, thanks!

21:23

Sure thing!

"Nope." :: He walked past them and out the door :: "Let's go."

::McFly:: Everything.

Tellarite Cabbie> :: waddles over and assists Callista and Annika with bags :: where to?

Back home we called that a bi-polar shot. Because you get the highs and the lows in one glass.

::arrives at the spaceport, spotting the runabout they brought here from the station, inputs the security code and enters, the runabout lights turn on::

:::Scoops up her glass and sips it:: do you think I could talk the Captain into another Week here?

:: Sets his bag on a porters cart ::

Spaceport?

:: Violet and Gila follow ::

::waves a luggage person over to take his bags:: Manticore Runabout, Lt Pilot. Thank you.

Where’d we park the runabout again?

Cabbie> Ah..yes...:: spies Callista's PADD :: Starfleet one?

::steps over into the cockpit and sits in the pilots seat, beginning the pre-flight and warm up process::

I could be talked into it. I don't know about the people above me though.

::::Glups down the rest of her drink::

L. Person> ::smiles and accepts the bags:: Thank you Lieutenant. I will get them beamed over now.

Shuttlepads....sir...

::nods::

I guess we should get going

Cabbie> Not a problem...:: opens door for Annika and Callista :: Here you go ladies

::Squeezes his hand:: Thank you for such a great vacation

::takes a seat::

Cabbie> :: gets in cab and zooms over to Federation Shuttlepad ::

::following KK & McFly::

You're welcome. It was all my idea. ::smiles then kisses her::

::stows the clothes he was wearing in his luggage in the back of the runabout::

::walks to the shuttlepad::

::leans closer to Calli:: I hope whatever they were doing to the ship is done..

:::Takes his arm and walks closer::

No kidding....but she needed the work.

::Sitting with his back against the shuttle door when people arrive::

::sits back down in the seat, finishing up the warm up and pre-flight checks, all green::

Some upgrades would be nice too. But I hear ya.

Cabbie> Here we are. :: pulls hover cab next to Landing Pad and quickly gets their bags out...opens door for Annka and Callista ::

((Double check that Faldek isn't flying this thing with a Logitech controller)) (edited)

((Starfleet only uses 1997 simulator flight sticks, Parallel port, none of that usb poodoo.))

::looks at him:: Are you drunk?

:: Starts heading for the landing pad ::

he wishes

She's ready for launch, just waiting for people to arrive. ::TNIP::

::chuckles::

Sheesh, just thought I'd offer.

::clambers in the runabout and takes her seat::

I thought you were in need of assistance walking.

::Sits down in the shuttle and peeks at his glowing plants::

::goes back to the pilot seat, and sits::

:: rolls bag over to shuttle and hefts it aboard :: Oomph

((Get out of my seat!

))

::arrives at the shuttle pad:: Our chariot awaits.

Need a hand?

::arrives at the shuttle and heads on board::

::yells from the cockpit:: All aboard!

Indeed. Ladies and Captain first. ::gestures to the door::

Ugh...I think I got it in. :: enters shuttle ::

:: Arrives at the runabout and heads inside, taking a seat ::

Okay.

:: Sees the others :: At least they are not likely to leave us behind ::

::Steps into the shuttle::: Home again home again

::takes a seat on the runabout, pulls out a PADD from his medkit and starts reviewing it::

::taps his combadge to interact with shuttle intercom:: +shuttle comms+ Secure all luggage in the cargo hold. Thank you for flying Manticore Space Lines.

::sits down in the back and lets someone else do the driving::

:: next to Annika ::

:: Leans back in his seat, pulling out a padd and continuing to read a technical manual ::

::Sneaks a Kiss while no one is looking their way::

::takes co-pilot seat:: Sure thing Cap'n.

:: leans her head on Annika's shoulder briefly :: Must we go?

::leans on Calli’s shoulder:: I wish we didn’t. (edited)

::checks to make sure we are full::

21:41

Looks like we're ready ::to Faldek::

Runabout --- You're clear to launch. Thank you for visiting Risa.

:: straighterns up a bit :: I wonder if I will fit in the uniform....the diet was ...a bit off .

+Port Master+ Thanks. ::closes the comm and checks to make sure the door is secured, and zooms the ship up towards to the sky with maximum thrusters:: (edited)

It’s always that way with vacations isn’t it?

(Are we on the flight?)

((I hope so))

((Hanging onto the back with magnets))

Bren Faliver

((Hanging onto the back with magnets))

((No more Mission Impossible for you))

indeed. :: hopes Faldek did the proper flight checks ::

:::Looks at Annika::: Normally someone gets arrested

:: Takes his seat next to Gila and Violet ::

::Looks at KK:: I tried my best, but that {redacted} missionary moves faster than he looks. Oh, I should probably start watching my mouth again.

::looks at Faldek:: Did they fill'er up before we left?

Yeah, it didn’t happen this time. That’s a nice change for you command staff.

::the runabout clears atmosphere and he puts in the coordinates for the starbase:: Of course. ::hits the engage button and they zoom off into warp 5::

::reads on his PADD, then types a few notes on it::

If no one was arrested, did we really vacation?

::reaches over and pats Violet’s leg:: Did you have fun, Violet?

21:46

I know right?

::hears arrested:: Who got arrested?

we haven't made it back to the ship yet

Nobody.. for a change.

((Risian Authorities Ship> +COM+ Pull over now! ))

::pipes some deadmau5 into the cockpit::

::looks at Faldek:: Earth music, right?

"I had a great time. I did not know I was such a good swimmer."

Yes.

Oooh, yes. I saw. You’re a great swimmer.

::nods in acceptance::

Very good swimmer

::engages the auto-pilot and leans back into his seat, getting comfortable::

:: continues reading, but hearing whats being said around him ::

:::leans her head on McFly shoulder::

"I thought I was so far behind since I come from...so far behind."

:: closes her eyes for the flight home...::

::looks at Faldek:: Did you enjoy yourself sir?

Didn’t swim much in your time?

My power cells have been sufficiently recharged, yourself?

(w) I hope you enjoyed our vacation

"Oh I swam a lot at the lake. Did not think it was fast, but perhaps in this future people don't swim a lot."

Not especially, no.

I think I am ready to get back to work. Cause we're probably going to get a doozy of assignments.

Of course I did. We got a lot accomplished. ::winks::

1

:: Erich lifts, or tries to lift, Violet's bag :: "What is in this?"

"Metal."

::continuing to work on his PADD, reading and typing::

Yes, it will be nice to get back into the swing of things.

:: Looks at her :: "Why?"

I can only handle so much idle time.

::Smiles:: you've always have a way with your hands

"For blacksmithing."

Lt. Pilot ("E'jAi" EJ)

I think I am ready to get back to work. Cause we're probably going to get a doozy of assignments.

((Wow, way to lay on the pressure))

1

There were times waiting for the Order to send me an assignment, it would start to drive me crazy.

It's all those years of firing phaser rifles. ::smirks::

At least there's always busy work on Manticore.

::nods::

Violet (Civilian)

"For blacksmithing."

::Laughs a bit, to himself::

::Giggles:: Building those fine motor skills

ACTION> THE TIME JUMPS SIX HOURS AND THE RUNABOUT ARRIVES AT STARBASE REDACTED

:::head still on McFly's should, asleep::

+Starbase Redacted+ Runabout blahdeblah resquesting permission to dock.

::sleeps on Calli’s shoulder::

That was definitely a long ride. We need to beef up our shuttle fleet.

::typing on his PADD, looks up when he hears they are requesting permission to dock::

::hears Faldek and slowly opens her eyes, yawns:: Ah, we’ve finally arrived.

Chimera would have cut down flight time by an hour and a half, but then taking a landing assault craft to Risa would not have been advisable, especially with her being the only one in the fleet...

Runabout -- You're clear to dock.

True.

I'm sure no one would have noticed...

::manuevers the runabout into the docking bay::

:: awakes and gently stretches ::

::monitors our docking::

::Stretches as well::

::gently sets the runabout down in the designated landing area::

22:01

Like a glove.

:::Opens her eyes, waking up to the sound of other people moving about::

::looks out of her porthole again:: Ahh.

::begins powering down the engines::

::stretches:: These long rides on small craft. Not the biggest fan.

::puts PADD into his medkit as they land::

( goodnight folks )

Nice landing. +COM+ Pilot to Sanchez.

::Squeezes McFly's arm:: Sorry for falling a sleep on you

Go ahead LT.

::stands up:: Thanks for being good passengers.

22:03

Tips are appreciated.

::laughs:: You do it regularly, why apologize now? ::winks::

+COM+ Lock on to cargo hold of the shuttle and beam our things to the ship..

If I can do six months in an Oberth, I can do six hours in a runabout. ::collects her luggage::

+COM+ Aye aye sir! ::begins beaming cargo from the shuttle to the ship::

Thank you for letting me drool on you

If your items were in the cargo hold, it will be on the ship waiting for you. ::to Shuttle folks::

:Oh nice

::walks past Faldek:: Don't mistake a vole tail for an electric power cord. They don't like it.

:::Stands up and stretches:::

::laughs:: Good one.

::stands up as well:: Back to the homestead.

Ok everyone out! I don't wanna lose my deposit.

::picks up his medkit and stands up to depart the shuttle::

;:heads out of the shuttle::

::exits shuttle with the others::

:::exits the shuttle::: I hope the ship is finished

Thanks everyone for a crazy shuttle ride

Night

TBS will be one day. We have a day to recover from vacation and look over all the "fixes" made to the ship. We'll be getting back to business with the start of a new plot.
