((Moore wrote the briefing))

( I am a bit curious Captain...where is the ship....is it still at Earth or did it go back to Starbase "Redacted" for repairs and refitting )

(( ^That))

((It's still sitting at ESD))

::finishes packing a bag of clothes and such::

::in his quarters packing::

((Along with the rest of the black ops fleet))

:: Finishes replicating some clothes, starts packing them in a bag ::

::::Sighs and hurries down the hall... then wonders why she is always in a hurry;:

9:06 PM

::Slow to a normal walk::

::was off ship doing things for his shore leave::

::reading medical journals in his office::

::in RR; issues out a general shore leave notice for anyone that wants to take it::

:: Not sure he is ready for shore leave ::

((Oooo he is in your RR Bren!!

I kid))

:::walks up to the Pres Office::

::nods to the officers on duty, hits the door chime::

Bren Faliver

::Sits happily in HIS OWN office in his OWN CHAIR where the groove matches his OWN BUTT, on the corner of "HIS" OWN DEPARTMENT::

((LOL))

:::sees the shore leave notice on his screen, swipes it aside and continues his medical journal reading::

Come in

::Enters the office:: Mister President

Commander! Please, come in.

9:10 PM

Please, sit. ::replicates her favorite drink::

::in her quarters, sipping a drink::

::Smiles and takes a seat::

:: chimes Annika's quarters ::

I am happy you are back to yourself again

::hears chime:: Come in!

9:11 PM

::opens the door::

::looks to Jaffee on the laptop screen on his desk:: I just got the notice about the new module.

Computer, travel mug, Raktajino, extra caffeine iced....

9:12 PM

::grabs the mug after it materializes and takes a hefty sip::

:: In her temporary quarters aboard the ship ::

Yes, can't have have you running around the galaxy missing a limb.

Hello Annika!

Hello Calli. How;re you doing?

::Picks up a PADD:: Request to publish research, that's a given so why the.... oh, in non-classified databases, "appropriately redacted"... that's not even possible in this case Ensign, sheesh...::pushes the Denied button::

I was just curious.....are you taking up the Captain's offer for R&R ?

Oh yeah, of course I am.

Going anywhere where a friend can accompany you?

I couldn't have done it without you. And your old crew as well. Please give them my gratitude. You have saved my life twice now and they have saved the Federation, probably more times than I can count. ::chuckles::

::Gives her fake laugh::

9:14 PM

My old crew is what I am here about...

I don't have any specs on it. ::gets that slick look on his face:: does that mean it's classified? ::he says in a bad sexy voice::

No, and don't do that again.

Anywhere's fine with me

::sends out a message to people "Going to Risa for Shore Leave, meeting at the Vertical's Captain's yacht in 30 minutes"::

1

I wanted to request to be transfered back to the Manticore... I need to find those other agents that were in play that is the only place I can get the work done

You mean it's not the, um... ::whispers as if someone can hear them:: the "P K"?

:::Loves the bad sexy voice... DAMN I missed it::

:: walks over to a chair and takes a seat :: It appears Risa is an option...

:: hears the message :: Risa...hmm.

::looks solemn:: I was looking forward to having you back by my side... But I understand.

Risa's always a great option

I wonder if that.....cute bartender is still there....

+Faldek+ On my way..Beran.

I did enjoy working with you.. but at least you wont have someone siping at your mugs ::Smiles::

The PK is going to be a source of contention for a while. It'll take some time for me to convince Command that such a weapon is necessary.

::grabs his bag and heads to the docking area:: +Pilot+ Acknowledged.

::sees the message about Risa...remembers the chocolate experience from his previous trip. Swipes message away and continues reading journal article::

I hope so.

:: sits and logs into see what her old crew was doing while she was gone ::

Been two years....I doubt it. :: shrugs :: I suppose we ought to declare a reservation ...

::Hands him a PADD with the orders already for him::

:: Sighs :: +Faldek+ Risa... with my yacht??

::grabs his bag and mug:: Computer, site to site Vertical's Captain's Yacht

:: Sees a lot of messages from Violet and Erich ::

+Eric Harnett+ Yeah... we talked about this. How does a Vulcan forget these things?

wait did he say he was going to use the Vertical's Captain's yacht? That makes no sense

::de-mat/re-mat at the entrance to the Captain's Yacht (Vertical)::

Heck yeah, let' sdo it.

9:21 PM

Did he?? Wow.

+Faldek+ Oh... fine... I will see you there

::fakes a smile:: I will be losing the best security detail anyone has ever had. Thank you, Commander, for all your hard work.

What Captain would allow crew from another ship to use there Captain's yacht....I am confused...

+Captain Harnett+ I am here at your yacht sir. How does one open it?

:: Packs a few things and heads out ::

::Takes the PADD back and shakes his hand:: Thank you for this ::Holds up the PADD:: I wont let these jerks get away with what they did

:: catches up with Faldek, bag over his shoulder ::

::takes the padd; looks it over:: After recent events, I suspect some doors might be harder to open than they once were. Feel free to call on me to bust through. ::smiles::

::sips his raktajino::

Is it a communal yacht? Can I use it too?

+ Faldek + Commander Faldek, Commanders Sorrenson and I are interested in joining the excursion to Risa...but did you say meet in the VERTICAL's Captain's Yacht???

::next to Calli::

:: Takes the files with her and packs, though she really does not have to pack much in the way of clothes ::

I know you wont. May God have mercy on their souls when you catch them.

:: Steps down the ramp from the yacht :: Welcome, E.J.

Thank you for the back up, it means more than you know

::Grabs her bag, that magically appeared out of nowhere::

:: to Violet :: It will be fun again. You remember last time.

Edvenet, glad you caught up. +Tyrel+ Sure, and yes. Captain Harnett will be flying us there in style.

As you should.

oh the captain...oh we are guests I get it...

::looks up:: Eric! ::goes in for a hug::

Well that's unfortunate. So what's inside it, then?

Magic Edit> Callista is next to Annika with her bag...behind EJ

:::Heads to the door:: Be well sir, if you need me to vet any new officers, you know where I will be

:: Raises an eyebrow at E.J.'s hug:: It's been awhile, old friend

Captain Harnett, I am Lt Cdr Callista Tyrel....and this is Lt Cdr Annika Sorrenson..... :: extends hand ::

It has been! I promise not to spill raktajino in your yacht.

Hello Captain.

::moves out of the way as the hands are offered::

::arrives at the Vertical, and as such approaches the entrance to the yacht::

Ah. I see.

:: Nods and shakes Tyrel's hand :: Greetings Lt. Cmdr Tyrel and Lt.Cmdr Sorrenson.

Are you related to Lt. Harnett stationed on Manticore?

:: Follows Faldek :: Nice ship...

:: is curious ::

::looks at Tyrel:: They're twins.

Don't think I just left you with a generic dorsal module. I've set you up with some of the latest in sensor and communications technology. Useful for remote connections into most computer networks and experimental decloaking technology.

1

Ooh, I think I see the resemblance!

:: Arrives at the USS Vertical with Violet ::

::raises eyebrow on that last one:: Really??!!!

I'm sure Thomas will be here soon.

:::Exitss the officer and hurries down the hall to the Transporter hub::

I should of known...well a pleasure...we best board...

:: Arrives after some time ::: I hope I am not too late.

:: Nods ::

::looks at Faldek:: He had better.

:: definitely wants to talk to Harnett about that someday....::

9:28 PM

:: enters Yacht and takes a seat ::

:: Steps up behind everyone else :: Well, this is quite the gathering...

Emphasis on experimental. R&D has had success with aged Romulan technology, but we have no idea how it would fare against something modern. Assuming they've upgraded at all.

Follow me to drop your bags off.. ::enters the yacht::

::Enters the Hub, steps onto a pad:: Manitcore please

:: Looks behind him :: Gila! :: waves ::

It's only a few hours to Risa from here.

I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

::takes a seat in the yacht next to Calli::

:::Shimmers out/shimmers in::

9:29 PM

:::Takes a deep breath::

Our science teams will be anxious for whatever field data you can bring them.

::sets his bag in the cargo hold and guided anyone else who had them::

Alright, well, any new missions to set us out on?

:::Steps off the pad and exits the room, heads to the lift::

::looks at Eric:: Who's the pilot?

Captain...

:: Walks into the yacht :: Everyone, make yourselves at home, bunks are in the back if you need them.

Yes?

You've done enough for now. Take a break. Enjoy shore leave with the rest of your crew.

:: Looks to Faldek :: Take the helm, Commander.

Oh nice.

9:31 PM

How long of a journey is it to Risa?

::heads to the head::

:::Steps onto the lift:: Bridge!

::takes a seat at the helm, getting it warmed up:: I'd say maybe 4 hours or so at warp 6.

I'm not sure....It is possible that since The Vertical is a Black Ops ship, she could of been modified with a different warp drive.

oooh, fancy

((Back, sorry, unexpectedly stepped away at my dog's insistence))

::Steps off the lift and walks over to the RR, hits the Chime::

I am just speculating....:: chuckles :: I suppose we will find out!

:: Taps on a console, there are a few clunks as the docking clamps disengage :: She's ready..

Yeah, alright alright. I mean technically I didn't get to do much on the last mission.

::comes out of the head and sits down in the co-pilot seat and looks over to Faldek:: We're in safe hands this flight.

Goodbye, Captain.

:: Gila walks up to Erich :: It has been a long time since I have had shore leave.

The safest.

::giggles, leans on Calli:: I guess we will.

::continuing to read his medical journal::

:: Takes a seat ::

::pre-flight checks complete, engines warmed up:: Last call!

::Hits the Chime on the RR::

::spins the chair around:: Welcome aboard the USS Vertical Captain's Yacht. We are happy to have you. If you make a mess clean it up, please.

probably pale as a Mugato at the moment...sun is in order...

Come

::Steps into the RR::

Seal the doors.

((::Bites his finger::))

:::Holds the PADD up:: Transfer orders are signed and approved

If you have questions...please always ask. Your Flight Team today is Captain Faldek, Captain Harnett and Commander Pilot, me. Seat belts all.

Bren Faliver

((::Bites his finger::))

((Did I get your excited or worried?

))

:: Standing behind the helm and copilot seats, a hand on the edge of each seat back :: (w) You scratch it, you bought it...

Awesome. So you're back full time.

::Sets down the last of the report PADDs and contemplates where to go for this Shore Leave. There must be some neat museums on Earth, and we're already here, seems a wasted opportunity to not see it::

::looks at Eric:: You had better get strapped in.

Captain McFly

Awesome. So you're back full time.

((HEY!))

Captain McFly

((Did I get your excited or worried?

))

((Sensors are Bren's first love lol))

Hi Gila. It's great to have you back.

Yes I am, shoulder is all healed up and I feel fine... how about you? how are you really feeling

:: Takes an open seat at a side console ::

::laughs:: She won't get scratched... ::decouples from the Vertical, heading for the space dock doors:: +ESD+ Vertical Captain's Yacht leaving for Risa.

Lt. Cmdr Pilot (Risa)

((HEY!))

((You two can fight out who is the CSEC))

Captain McFly

((You two can fight out who is the CSEC))

((I ain't fighting her!))

Lt. Cmdr Pilot (Risa)

((I ain't fighting her!))

((I mean it can be kind of fun

))

ESD> +Yacht+ Doors opening, have a safe trip.

Captain McFly

((I mean it can be kind of fun

))

((Then you fight her

))

::watches the departure::

::sighs:: I am, tired and unsure of what comes next.

::spins back around and watches us leave::

:: All three of them find a seat ::

::Makes his way from the Manticore to the Starbase, stops for a bowl of soup, and heads to something resembling a transporter hub::

+ESD+ Thanks, see you when we get back. ::pilots the yacht out of ESD using thrusters::

:::Takes a seat:: Next for us or for the ship?

::reading his medical journal::

This is far more comfortable than that freighter we escaped Cardassia with..

::looks at Faldek:: Not going to pull a Kirk eh?

I suppose all of it

Not unless Captain Harnett gives me that order.

One quarter Impulse, Commander.

... ::kicks it up to 1/4 impulse:: Aye.

::grins, looks at Edvenent:: This is a very nice ship. I wish we could have taken the Vertical.

I, um, I'm sorry how things ended with us... Ended? Paused? Not sure which is the right word.

:: Crosses his arms and leans back in his chair ::

Maybe the next Manticore will be a Sovereign.

::primes the warp drive, as they exit out into space::

Paused sounds about right, but my feelings for you have never changed. I will always love you

Course plotted and laid in for Risa.

Engage.

:: looks to EJ :: A high performance Starship with Beautiful lines may get TOO much attention EJ. :: smiles ::

((Remember the RR isn't sound proof. But there's no one on the bridge so

))

::hits the go fast button and they zoom away from ESD::

::to Tyrel:: But Callista, she can handle her own. She's a fast and well armed ship.

It's good to be back Violet, though it takes a bit to adjust to not having your every move scrutinized.

I missed you... Like, a lot. I thought maybe I would just get over everything a move on but I really haven't.

Cannot argue with that.

::smiles::That is true

She's gotten us, Lt Harnett and I out of a jam. Which I do greatly appreciate Captain Harnett for.

I have to confess something. Jaffee asked for my input on if you should stay on the ship. And I said no. I was angry with so much at the time. And I thought I may had been done with us.

:: Gila did seem out of sorts. She wore her hair different and her demeanor had changed. To be expected she thought ::

::sips his raktajino::

::Takes his hand:: I understand, I deserved it

Oh, I got you something. :: gets it out of her pack ::

:: Taps at the console he is at :: Top emergency warp of 9.97...

I wasn't thinking at the time...

So I have booked the top 3 floors of one of the premier resorts on the western shore.

::enjoys the feel of her hand again::

::looks at Faldek:: What in the world are you planning?

The top three floors?

You know I go all out for my people.

::places his hand on his shoulder:: You're the best co-boss, you know that.

Plus the last club I rented out said they didn't want us back.

:: leans forward in his seat :: Woah...that has to be expensive..

Can't believe it's been two years since we last went to Risa

::klingonic chuckle::

my head was all twisted because of Nate ::Shakes her head:: I couldn't see things clearly

I wasn't doing my fair share of thinking either. I reacted instead.

I wonder if the war has affected things at all....

It probably affected tourism.

Thanks. ::looking at the hand::

:: Chuckles :: I can only imagine what you did to get banned from a club...

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you

I'm sorry I didn't listen either.

Don't be like that. ::retracts his hand::

Well let's just say it was McFly and Kenickie that facilitated that.

:: Gives her a locket :: Changelings are not much for items, but I got you a memetic pendant ::

::looks at Eric:: Did you bring a yeoman?

::kisses her hand:: I'd like to start over, if that's something you want as well.

Reply to: @Cdr. Faldek (Risa) Well let's just say it was McFly and Kenickie that facilitated that.

:: Raised an eyebrow :: Oh really?

I would love that

Lt. Cmdr Pilot (Risa)

::looks at Eric:: Did you bring a yeoman?

more than you know

Reply to: @Lt. Cmdr Pilot (Risa) ::looks at Eric:: Did you bring a yeoman?

:: Looks to E.J. :: No, I did not...

Yeah, let's just say they messed up a room, with a night of unbridled passion.

Understood...

Those two..for the love of Kahless.

You were there!

Huh... sounds like fun

Oooh nice

::looks at Eric:: Welp, I guess we will have to get our own drinks.

::smiles; pulls her toward him over the desk and kisses her::

:: wonders what the Captain is thinking hearing all this.....::

Captain McFly

::smiles; pulls her toward him over the desk and kisses her::

((Better lockdown Deck 01))

:: Watches at the pendant reacts to her finger :: This is amazing.

:::wraps her arms aound his neck and pulls herself closer::

Lt. Cmdr Pilot (Risa)

((Better lockdown Deck 01))

((Don't mind the ass prints on the tac conosle))

Well, my honeymoon did not end in a destroyed room...

Close to it.

::Finds himself walking through the gardens of some 'pipe' guy from Earth's past. The plants are pretty and don't trigger any allergies, but the occasional overhead flyby of a shuttlecraft keeps reminding him of work::

Shhh...

Y'all Vulcans are almost as bad as Klingons...

((By the way, did I authorize the use of this Captain's Yacht?))

Captain McFly

((Don't mind the ass prints on the tac conosle))

((LOL))

:: Shakes his head ::

((it's the vertical's))

Captain McFly

((By the way, did I authorize the use of this Captain's Yacht?))

((I don't think you can, if its Vertical's))

(( Now you are gonna get me in trouble@ ))\

((Oh ok. I thought Faldek just helped himself.

))

::eats a fancy sandwich while drinking tea on Earth::

:::Huggles him:: I've missed this

Captain...what is our ETA to Risa?

::looks at Tyrel:: Fancy a nap?

::drinking a ratkajino, reclines in her seat::

3 hours, 45 minutes.

::Sleeps::

We could use one of those bunks! ::To Calli:: (edited)

I've missed you.

:: Nods :: Help yourselves to whichever bunk you want.

Yup :: stands :: I'll take advantage of that.....:: heads to a bunk ::

::finishes one medical journal, moves on to another one::

::to Tyrel:: Enjoy your nap!

For all I know we may be in battle in a few hours.....::closes the bunk door ::

::sips his iced raktajino, slightly reclined:: This should be a well deserved vacation.

I'm not sure if it has any value, but it was something they wanted to use to test against anti-changeling devices.

You didn't spend the last year on Cardassia...

::heads to bunk:: I sure hope not.. it'd suck being in battle in a captain's yacht

( must jet folks....gnight )

((Later cali))

::looks at Faldek:: I feared for you that entire time.

10:00 PM

((Later Cali!))

Sure

Sure.

Sounds good'

Then so it shall be!

10:03 PM

Questions or comments?

Hopefully, we don't get into too much trouble

Let's just make sure that everyone on Risa has a tag in their name so I know who is with us.

yes

Good idea

Don't we have really long-range transporters by now? Like that guy beaming himself to Kronos in the rebootverse film

10:05 PM

Seems like you should be able to just shimmer-shimmy to Risa lol

Oooh, that'd be nice

The what films?

Kelvin timeline

Thats it, thanks

10:05 PM

I couldn't think of the right name

I haven't heard of that, what is that?

hahaha

Ah, been awhile since I saw those movies

It was mentioned in Star Trek (2009)

You've struck them from your memory, eh?

At least it was better than Star Trek V.

I'm pretty certain there was no new Star Trek in 09

1

That movie, I struck from my memory.

Star Trek 5 is better than Star Trek 1

true

Alright, if nothing else then remember to use our name as a reference in the hotel concierge to get a free extra roll of toilet paper... DISMISSED!!!

Thats like saying getting a root canal is better than being shot in the foot

OOooooo TP

Goodnight all yall

There's a scene in Big Bang where they were trying to figure out which defcon was worse, 1 or 5 which lead to them arguing which Trek movie was worse 1 or 5.
