= The crew of the Manticore have prevented a devastating weapon from being used by The Dominion. They stopped two assassination attempts against the Federation President. They exonerated the Consul General of Starfleet's Black Ops divison from guilt on all counts. And they prevented a possible coup by a new outside threat. The crew now waits to see who's going to screw them next. =

((Are we back to normal or is this still the Bren and EJ command?))

::getting dressed in sickay; looks at Tevek:: I'm finally free to go right?

::reading a book in her quarters:: (edited)

::Waiting in Sickbay for McFly::

:: Is in uniform in his quarters, checking a padd::

((Uhhhhh, I's are being dotted and T's being crossed in regards to getting black ops back and running. Let's just say everyone is on standby. Actually, we'll get that all situated tonight.)) (edited)

((copy))

(ok)

::sat on the bridge in the XO chair::

::finishing up in his quarters::

::nods to the Captain:: Indeed. Please make sure to contact myself or another memeber of the medical staff if you experience an increase in pain or any other symptoms. And I would like to check in with you in a week to make sure everything is healing as it should.

( is Manticore still at Earth ?)

::Standing in front of The Chair, reading a PADD::

((Yes. ESD to be specific))

We stopped a coup...got our home back...I know one thing...

:: Is in his guest quarters, wearing civilian clothes, similar to Garak, not that tight fitting Starfleet uniform he wore days before ::

:: Working on the ship repairs, mostly reading about it ::

Understood. And thank you. I'm glad to be upright again.

I commend Commander Faldek on handling this kind of workload ::tapping on the console nearest him:: I did my best to keep him up to date.

:::Rubs her shoulder, still a little tight::

::Heads out of his quarters and takes the nearest TL to the bridge ::

:: With Faldek ::

::takes the TL up to Manticore's bridge and arrives on deck; she looks around to see only Bren and EJ:: So, you two have really been working your way up the command ladder.

You are welcome, sir. I am pleased with the status of your recovery as well.

::makes herself a cup of ratkajino::

::heads off towards sickbay::

::Looks over his shoulder, snaps around in a circle:: Admiral on deck!

::looks over to Jaffee:: Admiral! ::stands and salutes::

::looks at KK:: Should probably get that figured out while you're here.

::waves them down:: At ease.

it's fine, just a little tight

::sips her drink:: +Callista+. Calli, are you still alive?

::at ease:::

::runs medical tricorder over KK's shoulder::

:: Steps off the TL onto the bridge, seeing the Admiral, he nods to her as he heads down to Ops ::

:::Rolls her eyes:: I'm sure it's fine..

Actually, I'm glad you're both here. I wanted to thank you. You took the reigns of command at the most inconvenient time and as well as put forth an intense investigation to exonerate my name.

Mhmm. Just humor him. It makes him feel important.

::enters sickbay:: Captain, Kansas, Dr. Tevek.

::nods:: It was our pleasure...

:::nods at Faldek::

:: Looks in the mirror :: Better than that damn uniform Faldek gave me...

I am just glad I was able to right a wrong..

With some duty added in, of course

::turns around to see Faldek:: Glad to have you back... You are back right?

+ Annika + Yes rumor of my demise are unfounded... I am in the crew lounge...I'm still on restricted duty.

I have been fully debriefed by A-9's staff.

::doing Sanchez things::

::continuing scan of KK, nods to Faldek::

+Calli+ I'll meet you there, as am I... I think we're all pretty much on standby since we all got booted from the bridge.

Well, none of this would have been possible without you two. Perhaps both of you might consider a change in wardrobe color? ::smirks::

:::Fidgits::

::heads to the turbolift up the lounge::

::shocked:: Never thought about that..

Well think harder. I can see both of you commanding your own ships one day.

Actually, Admiral, now that you mention it... I am hoping to change my uniform, in a sense.

::some time passes and she exits the lift and heads into the lounge, sits at Callista's table:: How're you doing? Nice to see you out of sickbay.

I appreciate your confidence Admiral.

::raises eyebrow:: In what way?

:::looks at scan results, to KK:: I can administer a mild pain reliever now. But you really need to..."take it easy", to use a human phrase..on your shoulder for several days if you do not want to risk a more serious injury.

::looking at Bren about his uniform change::

I've been intending to forward you a spot of paperwork in the next few weeks, Admiral. My homeworld is formally joining the Federation in a few months time, and my status as an 'exchange officer' will expire. Your support in my application to be normalized a Starfleet officer would be worth a great deal, I think.

So Captain, have you been cleared for duty?

::Nods:: Understood

::to faldek:: Good. Anything weird from them I should know about?

No sir.

And, yes?... ::looks over at Tevek::

Absolutely, commander. In fact I'll consider it an honor to sponsor it personally. (edited)

::administers hypospray to KK:: Captain...if you could make sure that she does not overexert her shoulder, that would be appreciated.

Thank you, Admiral, it means a lot to me, as well, that you are so willing.

9:20 PM

::Gives a side look to EJ really quickly that seems to convey a strong sense of effin' RELIEF::

:::Evil eyes both Tevek then McFly::

::nods like see::

Yes...the Jello was actually good in Sickbay... despite the rumors. :: smiles :: Hey... I wanted to ask you something...

No shoulder exertion. Got it.

I like red jello.... oh yeah? Sure, go for it.

only the shoulder ::Winks::

:: Listening ::

::raises eyebrow in response to KK's evil eye, then nods to McFly::

:: Strolls out of his quarters, not sure where he is headed ::

::shakes his head::

::leans in and whispers:: Do you have a sedative as well? Preferable something that could put down an elephant. Because that's what it's going to take to keep her down.

I'm going to head up to the bridge.

::nods, picks up a hypospray, makes adjustments, and hands to the Captain:: Do not adjust the dosage without consulting me, sir.

::wonders whats up with the whispers::

So, where is Matt? I'm actually here to escort everyone to an official meeting with Admiral Moore.

I need a favor...Is there any way you and I can take some time off for some......Diving ? Like something...to help me get my feet wet so I can better serve our Cetacean friends. I don't feel the Holodeck training program is well realistic enough.

::nods and palms the second hypo::

::looks at Jaffee:: Sickbay the last time I saw him. I can find out.

::leaves sickbay, entering the TL across the hall:: Bridge.

Yes, please.

::taps comm bridge:: +McFly+ Commander Pilot to McFly..

:: thinks over her drink ::

Oh? Yeah, sure. I think we arrange something. I don't know how much longer we'll stay on Earth, but if not, there's other places we can go.

+Pilot+ I'm here. What's up?

::orders a drink from a waiter::

::exits the TL onto the bridge::

+McFly+ Admiral Jaffee is on the bridge wondering where you are, she's our escort to a meeting.

::hears the TL open and turns to see Faldek enter:: Oh good, Commander, you're already here.

Admiral Jaffee. ::nods::

+Pilot+ Jaffee is on the bridge? ::Looks at Kansas:: I didn't realize she even knew how to get on the bridge.

::looks at Faldek, moves to him hand extended:: Commander, you're a sight for sore eyes.

Just when the time allows. I realize you would be basically mentoring me.....I hope you would not view that as work....I mean we could do this at a cool place I suppose...

+McFly+ Aye.

+Pilot+ I'll be right there.

::Smiles:: I didn't think she would leave Earth

::shakes hand:: Thanks.

+McFly+ Aye Captain.

::smiles:: Oh no, that'll be fun. I'm looking forward to that.

::to Faldek:: I tried to keep the workload down for you.

Curious what this is about. I don't think I've ever seen her outside of an office.

:: Is at Ops, just listening, since there isn't much to do ::

Lets go find out

::leaves sickbay with KK and heads to the nearest TL; rides it up to the bridge::

:: Finds a dead end :: Huh... :: Turns around and heads back towards his quarters ::

I thought maybe somewhere there would be caves or something...to simulate an environment of ...... :: thinks :: underwater tight spaces.

::in the TL with KK; sighs:: I guess at some point we should have a real sit down talk.

IF you want

It's been two years. I can't imagine everything would just go back to the way it was.

Hmm. That'd depend on where we'd be able to go but I can think of a few places like that, that I know.

9:30 PM

::drinks her drink::

::watches the Captain and KK depart, then looks around sickbay. Notices that there are no patients for the first time in a while and nods, heads to his office::

Well I've been keeping abreast of the paperwork. Good job.

It doesn't feel so long

::nods:: I am glad to hear it. Your chair is comfy.

Those two years did only feel like a week or two. Funny how time works.

9:31 PM

::the TL arrives on deck and opens to the bridge::

I just have an anxiety from an engineer's standpoint of not being able to assist our Cetacean friends if something bad were to happen...And given what the ship does.....that is a likely possibility.

::sees Jaffee along with Bren, EJ, Faldek and Harnett who snuck in there at some point::

::Steps off the lift::

::turns to see McFly and KK exit the TL::

::enters his office and begins making some notes in the files of the Captain and other recent patients::

Admiral! This is a significant surprise.

:: Just walking around in the medical bay ::

Nice big reunion

:::Puts her fake smile on:: Admiral

::looks at McFly:: Captain McFly, you know Captain Faliver and Admiral Jaffee.

yeah, something to consider. I think that'd be a good move.

::cheeky Klingonic grin::

::smirks at EJ::

::raises an eyeridge at EJ::

I would owe you...I would owe you big time.....Not certain how I could repay you...but I would.

::walks onto the bridge and heads to the Helm::

::spots Dr. Orrak walking around sickbay and gets up and exits his office:: Doctor, may I assist you with anything?

::Grumbles::

::giggles:: It's ok Calli. It'd be fun. Hmm, if you insist though, maybe join me for dinner after the dive. (edited)

:: Hears the different voices on the bridge, but remains quiet ::

I know, an Admiral on a ship tends to spook everyone. First off, I came to offer thanks to the command staff in charge as well as your entire crew. Most of you will have no idea the threat you have mitigated by destroying the PK and preventing it from landing in Dominion hands.

::closing out a report on the XO Console::

Oh certainly girl!! :: gives a fist bump to Annika's shoulder :: Who knows..might meet Mr. Right....

No doctor. I am just..revisiting.

Hmm? Maybe.

Secondly, I'm here to escort the senior staff to a meeting with Admiral Moore. And let's just say it's due.

Are you going to see her? :: to Erich ::

Ah..that's one Admiral I thought I wouldn't have to see again.

I guess it's a good thing I wore a new uniform.

In time, but I have been busy. Much time has passed.

::nods slightly:: It has been agreeable to have you back onboard the Manticore again.

::to Faldek:: Very spiffy, Commander.

::shoots EJ a stern look:: (edited)

Nice to think I was missed.

9:39 PM

The color the Federation chooses over Cardassians can be stark.

:: Turns the chair at Ops to see everyone ::

::hands up:: Just saying the uniform is nice.

Any guesses on our next mission?

whom is the senor staff at this point

( valid point hehe )

::walks up behind Harnett, tries out the Vulcan nerve pinch::

So please, get everyone ready and at the transporter room in 30 minutes.

I feel I have missed so much.

::nods to Jaffee:: Aye Admiral.

:: Raises an eyebrow :: You still have not mastered that, Commander..

Damn it.

Hm. Not sure really.

:: Looks to Faldek :: Welcome back, sir.

I will give you some tips Faldek

+COMM+ Manticore Senior Staff report to the transporter room forthwith..

((You guys want to get to the meeting now or wait till next week and just continue to mingle?))

::nods:: Two years is a signifacnt period of time for most species.

Thanks, it's good to be back. I'm never going back to Cardassia if I can help it. (edited)

((i am cool with now))

((fine either way))

<<Now>>

(now's good)

((now now now))

I guess it depends what we will have on as a Pod on Manticore...:: gestures to the roof ::

(( Now is good ))

((Fine I'll do it now. Geez!))

:: hears the COMM ::

Ah that's true. I think it's still the big dorito, as far as I know.

((::hands him the magic marker::))

I assume with the Dominion there, it is worse than before?

You have no idea.

I guess we are included....

TIME JUMP> 30 MINUTES PASS AND ALL THE SENIOR STAFF ALONG WITH EDVENENT AND JAFFEE IS AT MOORE'S OFFICE; THOSE NOT CONSIDERED SENIOR STAFF MAY JOIN IF THEY WISH (edited)

::hears the COMM and raises his eyebrow:: I believe I shjould head to the transporter room...

::in Moore's office, next to Calli:: Where did those last 30 minutes go? (edited)

:: Looks around the Admiral's office, off to Faldek's right ::

Well this place looks vaguely familiar...

::sitting in Moore's office, not really pleased to be there::

::Sniffs::It smells strange here

::in the Admiral's office::

::looking like Tommy Lee Jones if he was an old salty cowboy wearing a Starfleet uniform::

::thinks that it feels like we're all in trouble::

:: Next to Annika in Moore's Office filling the role of Crewmember under senior staff :: Temporal anamoly yes.

::crosses his leg over the other, watching Moore::

:: Sighs :: Back here, again?

Crew of the USS Manticore. It is my duty and obligation to offer you an official and public apology for the action taken against your crew.

:: Sits and listens ::

::listens to Adm. Moore::

::listening amazed::

:: in the back listening ::

:: Listens, hands clasped behind his back ::

(m) About time

::raises an eyebrow::

:: Also at the meeting LL

:: Listens ::

I especially must apologize for the extreme interrogation methods used by security officers under my command, which could be seen as prejudicial in nature, against the likes of Commander Beran Faldek, Doctor Gill Orrak and Mister Edvenent.

::agrees with that, but says nothing::

::nodding::

:: Crosses his arms and thinks, Getting mistaken for a Vole and almost getting gassed to death was worse... ::

To you three I say this, the Federation and thus StarFleet do not stoop to such primitive actions. We've risen above the barbarism of our ancestors and vow to make peace with all walks of life regardless of where they come from.

::smiles::

::thinking to himself:: What about me and Bren?

ACTION> THREE STARFLEET OFFICERS WALK UP TO THE CARDASSIANS; EACH ONE HANDS TO ONE OF THE OTHERS A GIFT BASKET OF VARIOUS GOODIES ALONG WITH A GIFT CARD TO QUARKS

1

((lol))

::stops a moment:: Thanks.

::nods very sternly with a grunt then salutes them::

:::Smirks:::

::can't salute as he is holding a gift basket::

:: Takes the gift basket :: Thanks, Admiral... I always wanted... :: Looks down at the basket :: this?

oooh.

::feels slightly awkward::

::looks at the gift baskets, finds them most curious::

Admiral Jaffee has been exonerated of all charges against her and has been reinstated to the rank of Fleet Admiral and as such StarFleet's Black Ops division has been removed from lockdown status and reinstated as a subdivision of StarFleet.

Hmm.

Excellent!

:: Raises an eyebrow as he listens ::

::Wonders where 'Black Ops' fits in the hierarchy chart, lol::

::Nods::

:: Still looking down at the basket ::

::looks at the contents, then quietly to himself says:: oooh a bottle of Kanar...

::looks at Faldek:: Check the year, in case Quark made those baskets...

Oh it's probably not what I'd get myself...

:: wondes if DS9 is their next port of call ::

I want to assure all of you Starfleet takes seriously this severe breach in security regarding the rogue group that infiltrated Command and the Federation at large. An extensive investigation will be conducted and we intend to rout out everyone taking part in this sect.

Thank you Admiral.

Thank you Manticore, for your years of dedicated service to Starfleet and the Federation. ::salutes::

Lt. Ryan should be hgh on that list

:: Looking at the basket intently ::

::salutes::

10:00 PM

::hears Kansas and wonders if that's what's next for us::

:: Salutes ::

::salutes::

:: Holds basket ::

::salutes:: On behalf of the Command Staff at present, we appreciate you Admiral Moore. And I hope Black Ops can help you again. We're pretty good at what we do.

::looks over to Pilot and whispers:: How come we didin't get a gift basket?

::hands the basket to Ed and Salutes::

::Salutes::

:: Holds Faldek's basket as well::

::clears his throat; salutes::

::to McFly:: I just sat on butt, ordered folks around and I did get threatened..

:: salutes ::

10:02 PM

( must go gnight folks!

::quietly gestures towards Moore:: (w) It was him..
