USS Concordia - Bridge

"Yes ma'am." Urban said sounding excited of his official order to take over the bridge. While trying to contain his excitement he went and sat down in the Captain's chair, running his hands across the arm rest's of the command chair, then across the command console. He let out a smile and felt very important to be given such a important position, even if it was just to watch things while they were docked.

<A few minutes passed and he remembered he needed to see how our new councilor was settling in, so he gave command of the bridge to the next ranking officer on the bridge>

<Walking off the bridge, Urban made his way to the Science Lab's>

"Of course, your abilities..." Byrne said rhetorically, his voice heavy with sarcasm.

When Karelia and Rellek were to their doors Byrne reluctantly saluted Karelia, but was cordial in saluting Rellek.

He turned and left for his own quarters.

Lt. Commander Byrne's Quarters

"Lights," Byrne shouted as he walked in, weary.

Perhaps I shouldn't carry on a grudge against him....Although, if he hadn't done what he did it might be different.

Byrne made himself a cup of Chamomille tea the old Earth way; he still had a nostalgia for the pre-space flight days. He relaxed for a while.

((From the Science Lab/CSO Officer thread.))

Martin gestures with his hand for her to hold on a moment.

"Un moment Mademoiselle..." He says in a Manchester accent.

A few seconds pass as he turns book pages - finishing the chapter he's on; he looks up and nods his head at a chair, as he puts his book mark back in the book. He fixes his gaze on her and quickly analyzes her.

Hmmm, interesting; tall, well featured facade, large cranium - seemingly brilliant I would presume, but her eyes, yes, her eyes say that while she follows logic, it is a stumbling trudge no doubt. Prone to flights of emotion perchance, but through and through a person to entrust.

"Welcome Madame; tell me, do you read hard bound books like they did before electronic text became the standard? I find them quite fascinating myself; they have certain qualities that you just cannot get elsewhere - such as seeing who previously owned them, what their history was, what were they like, were they smart or dull, did they see the world as rational or irratinal, and so on so forth."

Before she answers, he gets out of his chair and strides across his office, his gait a bounce. "Caffeine, tea, or perhaps a thimble of schnappes while the Captain's not looking, eh?" He chuckles, "No no young lady, I guess I musn't play the Christian devil and tempt you with liquor."

Absent mindedly, and oblivious to the fact that she didn't get to answer, he walks back to his chair and sits down with a cup of cranberry juice. He looks at her inquiringly, waiting for her to speak - wondering perhaps if she'd suddenly gone mute.

"No sir, I have not gone mute, I am just simply listening to you. As for the books, yes I have several in my quarters that I enjoy reading very much. Specifically "Dante's Inferno", that is an amazing piece of work, no matter what century you live in. " She replied and then paused to raise an eyebrow and look at the officer.

*Stella looked him in the eyes, and nodded to herself*

"Indeed I am ruled but logic sir, but I am half betazoid, so not only did I hear that, but you are extremely correct in thinking that emotions have a way of interupting me. I'm sorry to intrude on your thoughts, it was unintentional." She said kindly

"Oh yes, I know you are Betazoid. See, my mother - may Buddha bestow blessings on her - was part Betazoid herself, and I acquired the telepathic abilities as well, among other things." He paused, glancing at Urban.

"Welcome Sir. Please, have a seat, we were just discussing family history and books. Two intriguing topics I must say." Martin glances at Meredith silently sending a thought her way,

At first glance I must say that I am skeptical if we're lucky.

He turns his head back to Meredith.

"Yes, oh yes, Dante's Inferno; Hell for every man and every man for hell. Remarkable piece of literature indeed, well beyond it's time philisophically."

"I must say I was slightly at odds with myself, being half vulcan and half betazoid tends to cause internal conflict. I wanted to apply for CSO, but was befuddled to find the position was already filled, so as is the reason I am now your Ship's counselor." She retorted.

"As for what your discussing, I have no interest. Just get me your reports ASAP." Urban said walking out of the room, rubbing his head, he didnt like telepath's much despite the fact he is one himself, he tried to get the resonance of the telepathy going on in that room out of his head but couldnt very effectively, but he continued to walk towards the bridge.

<A few minutes later he walked onto the bridge and sat in the Captains chair as the duty officer that was taking charge of things got up>

That would depend on who dear, for I've no one to love these days; my family, my friends, dare I say I have outlasted them all.

Martin fixes Urban with a stern gaze, "You will have your reports in due time, sir." He turns his gaze back to Meredith once Urban leaves.

He sighs, slightly weary.

"Forgive me, he was a pupil of a friend once; I'm told he tends to be pushy, commanding, and a 'tad' arrogant."

"Now, back to you." He sips his juice, "I can understand. My mother was half vulcan/half betazoid herself, and my father was half human/half klingon. Interesting gene pool combination to say the least."

As for ideas aboard the ship, I do wish to make some minor adjustments to the enviromental systems and life support systems on the Concordia. I have come to the conclusion that the present temperature is slightly elevated from the range a the 'best preformance' conditions for carbon based life." She shortly gave Martin the explanation.

*She tucked a peice of loose hair behind her ear and crossed her leg over the other.*

Brackman turned to Greenwood and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"I believe you missed the part where I said destruction was the last-resort."

Deciding that pleaing to the officer's humanity had backfired, Brackman decided to try and change tactics. Turning back to Rangwere, he said, "It seems I need to give you a better reason to save my shuttle, not destroy it like you seem intent on doing. Apparantly, it containing my life's work means nothing. Well, I am willing to contribute my shuttle to your meager fleet so far. A list of my shuttle's capabilities are currently unavailable, seeing that much of it is damaged beyond repair, but I assure you it is not a weak vessel. It -"

Brackman was cut off by a sudden alarm from his wrist device. He raising his left arm, he turned the alarm off and asked it, "Status, QAI?"

QAI reported, "The approaching vessel has been confirmed as a Borg Sphere. Scans of vessel indicate it has sustained damage to various areas, including transwarp drive, but it is still capable of severe damage to the shuttle. Molecules have been destroyed. Isokinetic cannon has been reconfigured to work off the remaining stored power. Shields are operating at reduced efficiency. Projections indicate that, in current conditions, there is a 2.63% chance that the shuttle will not be captured or destroyed in this encounter. Estimated arrival time is now 4 hours, 30 minutes."

"Thank you, QAI," replied Brackman. He touched another button on the wrist device before lowering it and turning back toward Rangwere.

They arrived at a set of doors that had both Karelia's and Rellek's names on them. "Thank you, Commander. We can carry on from here," he said. Once they were inside, Will set his bag down on the chair in the living room. The quarters they inhabited were larger than normal, obviously meant for multiple people or for important guests. Karelia immediately unbuttoned his outer jacket, glad to be rid of the excessively formal and uncomfortable piece of his admiral's dress uniform.

Dr. Brackman - Docking Bay 7

Brackman frowned at Rangwere. He ignored the mechanical dog, despite the fact it had just deposited fluid on him, for the sake of time.

"I should have elaborated on the experimental technologies part, I suppose," said Brackman, not budging an inch, "QAI, the AI I mentioned, has his primary processors based on my shuttle. Destroying those processors would cripple QAI and all of my research, setting me back by decades. And if you haven't noticed, I don't have decades to spare. Additionally, QAI would most likely not allow the destruction of the shuttle unless all is lost. He is a sentient AI, after all, unlike your pitiful computers. I have already been forced to destroy several breakthrough technologies because of the shuttle's current state, namely the slipstream drive, the quantum replicators, and the shuttle's power source. The resources required to reconstruct these and other items are currently unavailable. Also, with the deposing of the shuttle's power source, you'd be hard-pressed to find a way to destroy the shuttle. The shuttle has very little anti-matter on board, no torpedoes to speak of, and no warp core to overload. To be honest, I don't even know how QAI is going to destroy it if the vessel is intent on capturing it."

"Furthermore, the shuttle has invaluable information, for example, by QAI's assessments, there are only a small number of areas the Borg could realistically locate their transwarp hubs, several of which are within a reasonable distance of here. Also, my research on nanotech molecular armor is on board that shuttle, which could serve as a viable defense against Borg weaponary, which is more than I could say for anything we have now. I do not have back up copies of this research and the information is irretrievable elsewhere. This holds true for much of the research and information on board, much of which are just as critical."

"So to put it simply - self-destruct is a last-resort. Unless capture is imminent, I will do whatever I can to retrieve my shuttle. And as I see it, there is still time. I doubt you'd self-destruct this station just because of the mere chance of your crew being endangered, seeing as you already have, with the Borg and dozens of other hostile species being within easy reach. That aside, if you do not grant me permission soon, well, let's just say I'm rather willing to take matters into my own hands. I do not have time to waste, Captain, and I am not willing to waste much more. And just so we get to know each other better, I'll give you a hint into my personality - I don't make idle threats."

Brackman smiiled coldly at Rangwere, knowing intimidation would soon lose its edge and he would have to take charge of the situation really soon if she did not give in quickly.

He stiffened as he recognized one of the two people who had stepped through the hatch; the last time he had seen Admiral Karelia was many years ago, and the parting wasn't mutual.

He summed up all his of his professionalism and pushed the memories out of his mind; he was, after all, a starfleet officer, and Will was his superior - even if it soured him to acknowledge it.

Dr. Brackman? Victor was still wondering if the man who had stood besides them was really him. He was an outcast, other scientists called him a loony who wanted the impossible. But why would the guy show up here? On the other side of the universe? Victor looked, how long had he been standing here daydreaming since the captain's move out message? He took a quick look around to see what had already been set up, a couple of simple stalls and a bar. He walked towards the bar and asked the barkeep a black coffee in a disposable mug. Asking where the beans came from, he got a short reply: replicate coffee.

Victor left the promenade and started walking towards his quarters, or atleast, started to walk away from the promenade. Givong up on finding his way himself very quickly, he asked the computer the way to his assigned quarters. The route he got from the computer sounded rather complicated, but with a little trial and error he found his way. He just considered himself having taken a tourist route. When he reached his quarters he was greeted by the characteristic beeping of an opening door.

<Victor E. Fleech, Starbase Vernemeton, Fleech's Quarters>

The quarters were as empty and silent as one would expect from a starfleet quarter, but atleast his stuff were already there. Probably beamed over right when we landed here. He opened one of the boxes and was glad to learn it was his own stuff. Opening a second box he found his uniform and took it out. Changing his black jeans and purple blouse for his green striped uniform, he started to wonder if he was forgetting something? His pips! He took out the gold and black buttons and put them on his collar. Combadge? he thought, but then remembered they were told they would be given those on their new duty. He left the quarter and started making his way towards the bridge, atleast, if he could find it.

Dr. Brackman - Docking Bay 7

Dr. Brackman decided that there was no time to waste and approached the admirals just after they arrived. Walking up next to Rangwere, he cut her off before she could get off so much as a "hello".

"Admirals, we have a situation. My research shuttle has been stranded in an asteroid field some distance from this station. It has been critically damaged and a number of systems have failed or have begun to fail. At the very least another shuttle is needed to arrive at my shuttle's location and to salvage for components to repair it. Furthermore, a computer core is required to download certain programs in order to pin-point my shuttle's location," reported Brackman rapidly.

Seeing that Rangwere was about to cut him off, he turned to her and said, "While I have already told this to you, Captain, I have just been informed of a new development. An unidentifed vessel, possibly Borg, has altered trajectory and is now approaching my shuttle."

After letting that sink in for a moment, he turned back to the Admirals and continued, "My shuttle contains my personal research, experimental technologies, and information on everything in the known universe. Additionally, there is a sentient AI that would put the Borg to shame. If the unidenfied vessel, which is due to arrive at my shuttle's location in less than 5 hours, manages to steal even a fraction of information from my shuttle and they have hostile intentions, well, let's just say reliving the Dominion War or Wolf 359 would look like a wonderful option and I don't say that lightly. There is no time to think or argue about this, action is required now."

Of course everything was running good so far. He found that life support was running okay, but it was a bit warm for him personally.

Most Klingons like the warm, but he preferred 19 degrees Celsius, 'room temperature' for humans.

Even though he ran his own diagnostics and later reviews, he ordered a few of his on-duty officers to run some themselves.

"Run your own diagnostics of our systems, if you have any questions or problems, please report them to me. Report back in three hours. That is all." he said to his officers during a small meeting.

The borg? Andrew had a flash back to Wolf 359, he had been there, he remembered the death and destruction. He remembered his father... He kept his cool, it was no time to loose himself in anger. He analysed the situation and offered a suggestion.
"If it is such a dire circumstance Dr. Brackman then why not just set your self destruct and be done with it?" Andrew asked. "You're research may be destroyed but it can be rebuilt, human lives cannot."

(OFF: soz guys busy day at work. Mr. Andrews i didnt get a chance to see your post to respond to it. soz mate.)

IC:

Faraness was not one to tolerate being interupted, especially from a civilian she didn't even know, and especially in front of two Admirals from Starfleet Command. Although after taking in what her counsellor had said about the scientist, and the constant urgancy he had, she decided to hear him out and give him the time of day. Although he was not in her good books at all. She also felt thats the rantings of an old scientist was the last thing the Admirals wanted to hear after only just boarding the station. It definately was not the first thing they wished to hear. Faraness stood firm towards the old man and spoke up.

"Mr. Brackman. The Admirals have just arrived on the station," She had her personal thoughts as to what she was going to say next but kept a professionalism about herself.

"You sure do know how to get everyones attention. As Mr Greenwood here sugggested, why not simply set the self destruct?" She said the words to acknowledge the fact that she was going to listen to her senior staff's suggestions.

She then turned towards the two Admirals.

"I do apologise Admirals for the some what different then customary greeting. My name is Captain Faraness Rangwere, Commanding Officer of Vernmeton Station. This here is my XO Mr Byrne and the stations chief medical officer, Mr Greenwood, also the stations counciler Mr Andrews." She then looked down at the cybernetic dog and looked back up again. "This, well i have no idea who's dog this is or what it's name is, it seems to be following me everywhere I go."

She then turned to Mr Byrne. "X, please escort the Admirals to their quarters while I deal with Mr Brackmans problem. Mr Andrews i would like you to accompany me. Mr Brackman please follow me to my office in ops so we can solve your issue."

With that she saluted the Admirals.

A voice sounded over the comm. =A=Uh sir... this is your chief of Engineering, I just came aboard, I came a little too soon, so I will have you that report in under the next two hours... Dwight out.=A=

Meanwhile Dwight was heading down the hallway towards engineering, while Cochrane was still on his shoulder. He quickly moved into the engineering of the ship before moving to his office, and locked the feline in, he right away moved to one of the screens and began to call up the data.

"Excuse me sir," an Ensign said as he walked over to him. "But what are you doing? Do you have clearance?" he looked like he was about to tap his comm badge.

Dwight looked and turned his head to the young man. "Is that anyway to talk to your chief Engineer? I should be registered on the computer, Fredrick Dwight, Lt." He said, his voice showing a no nonsense attitude was what he expected. "Is that understood Ensign?"

The young man only gulped but saluted. "Yes sir... Anything I can do sir?"

Dwight only smiled. "I want a report of what the engines looked like during the null gravity catapult, I would like to see how to make the engines more efficent next time we go through it."

"Right away sir." The ensign said.

Dwight smiled, he knew he would not have the luxury of doing this during a crisis, but it felt good to finally be in a place that he understood... let some of the more less grounded thinkers be the ones creative, as long as they didn't mess too much with his engines, he would be fine... which reminded him, he should test in the holodeck the actual limits of this core... he would like to put it through a few non traditional shakedown tests there... always good to know how the heart of the ship would react in certain situations.

"I agree that we should all get to know each other but no drinks while on duty. Im casual but not that casual. I'm sure you will have plenty of time off to have a few rounds later." Faraness said in reply to Mr Ryans comment.

She then turned towards Mr Brackman who had butted into the group conversation and quite rudely demanded for parts for his ship.

"Mr Brackman was it?" She put on a very serious voice especially infront of what now was her whole senior staff.

"For starters, NOONE threatens me and comes on my station demanding parts from one of our shuttles to fix a ship I know nothing about. Secondly what makes you think your tone of voice is going to get you anywhere here? And theres no way we are just going to give you the parts to go off and fix it yourself. I suggest you go have a think about the way you just went about that and possibly come back later in a better mood. THEN I may be able to see how Starfleet can help you." She stood firm instead of her recent casual stance infront of her crew. She was staring right at the civilian scientist as to show that there was nothing he could say to change her mind.

Before Brackman had a chance to respond, the captains commbadge went off as an incoming comm was being transmitted.

"This is the captain." She said while tapping her commbadge, slowing the tone of her voice back to a professional level.

The voice of an ensign from ops could be heard on the otherside, "The U.S.S Concordia has just arrived and been cleared to dock in bay 2. Admiral Karelia's ship has also just exited the warpga.. uh Null Space Catapult sir and are about to dock in bay 7.." he sounded nervous as he quickly corrected himself. Fresh from the academy the ensign felt very nervous about his first post.

"Very well ensign. Rangwere out."

She turned to her senior staff. "Although it would have been good to stride through the promenade with you all, it seems our new flagship and the members of Starfleet Command have just arrived. Time to get to work everyone. X I want you to take the senior staff to welcome the new crew of the Concordia. Mr Greenwood, Mr Andrews, your with me. Time to do some sucking up to the Admirals. I want everything formal here gentlemen, lets give them a warm welcome." She turned almost ignoring Mr. Brackman but giving him a look over, and walked towards the turbolift, with the two officers behind her. The turbolift doors opened and they walked in.

"Docking bay 7" were the words that came out of the captains mouth before the turbo lift doors closed and began to move towards its destination.

As the Admirals ship came out of the catapult, it was automatically cleared to dock in docking bay 7.

Vernmeton Station - Deocking Bay 7 Turbolift Entrance


Faraness walked out of the turbolift, two of her senior staff behind her. She walked up to the entrance to the docking bay and turned and prepped the others.

"Now lets do everything by the books here boys. And don't forget to smile" She said with a grin on her face.

Brackman stiffened as Rangwere left and decided to look for a higher authority to dicuss the situation with. He located the nearest console and consulted it to determine if any Admirals were on board and where. After seeing they had arrived in Docking Bay 7, he departed the promenade.

Vernemeton Station - Docking Bay 7

Brackman arrived at Docking Bay 7 and saw Rangwere with two other officers heading toward the Admirals. He assessed the situation, trying to determine his next action. The situation was dire enough that he seriously considered just stealing a shuttle, but, after weighting the consequences, decided to just wait and see what Rangwere and the two Admirals did before doing anything himself. Sooner or later, however, he had to get their attention and hopefully their permission, but he could certainly do without. As he waited, he consulted QAI on his wrist device.

"Status, QAI?" asked Brackman, after he turned away from the group.

"More systems have failed, Dr. Brackman. Excess hull plating has been disposed of, along with the slipstream drive. Materials were destroyed according to protocol. Stablizing chamber is now running off stored power. Failure expected in 12 hours," QAI replied.

"Begin irradiating of the molecules now," ordered Brackman, "Conserve any power the shuttle has after that."

Suddenly, the device began a loud beeping noise that didn't stop. "Unidentified vessel has altered trajectory and is now approaching the shuttle. Signature indicate the vessel is most likely Borg. Estimated arrival time: 5 hours. Projections indicate that the shuttle will not be able to defend itself sufficently in its current condition."

Brackman turned off the noise, but it had already attracted much unwanted attention, though it didn't really matter anymore since he knew time had just run out.

"Destroy the molecules at any cost, QAI, and prepare to combat the vessel. Destroy the shuttle immediately if there is any indication that the approaching vessel is attempting to capture the shuttle."

Brackman turned around, prepared to do anything it took to retrieve his shuttle.

Andrew followed Rangwere out of the turbo lift, he looked over to Dr. Brackman. He frowned. His empathic power was weak but he could sense the feelings coming from the scientists.
"Captain," Andrew began in a quiet voice, "with all due respect I think you should help Dr. Brackman. I can sense his frustration and worry, this isn't a minor thing. At least not to him."

Karelia and Rellek stood at the aft of the small ship's single corridor, the closed hatch sloping up before them. "Here goes nothing," Will said, and keyed the hatch open on the wall beside him. The platform dropped, hinging down to rest on the deck of the hangar bay. The two admirals walked slowly down the hatch, and Will picked out the captain, a few senior officers, a single civilian, and what looked like a cybernetic canine. Chalking that one up to the oddities of life on the frontier, he saluted the assembled staff, as the captain stepped forward to introduce her crew.

Shepard watched as the ship decelerated once again and dropped from null-space, the emitters on the catapult arms catching the ship, almost like an arrestor net on an old Earth aircraft carrier. "Well," the commander said, "we're here. Contact the station's Ops center and let them know that we've arrived. Meanwhile, get some scans of that nebula," Shepard said, gazing at the viewer. "It's amazing!"

"Aye, sir," Naquv replied, halfway excited at his new mission.

=A= "This is the USS Concordia to Vernemeton Station, we have arrived. Concordia out."=A=

After he ended transmission, he conducted scans on the nebula.
There were some crystal fragments and asteroid fragments within the nebula, but crystal was not often found in space, much less a nebula. The optical sensors noted there were flashes coming from the nebula. He checked his sensors again, tapping on his console, both arms working at the same time. He found that the asteroids and crystals had no pattern of orbit, so they would occasionaly crash together, which he found would emit the flashes.

"Most curious, sir. the flashes emmitting from the nebula are Triboluminescent. There are some simple crystals in the nebula that rub against some asteroid fragments to create light."

Lt. Dwight laughed. "Well, If you don't mind, I could dog watch for a bit, until the Concordia arrives." he was smiling, and he was curious as well. He looked around and laughed. "You don't mind me coming with? I left a bag of mine back there, I just hope we don't leave too fast, a lot of my stuff is in a station storage location."

He smiled, but was nervous, this was in reality his first mission that he would be on, other then one or two local solar system jobs on some small transports. So he was trying to keep himself composed, but the dog was a mystery to him, and he wanted to find out a little more about it... could it talk? Maybe he could get a hold of a science officer or something.

Dr. Brackman joined the gathering of Starfleet officers. He immediately stood out as the oldest person in the group, with gray hair and many wrinkles. However, that did not stop him from quickly singling out Captain Rangwere, who was the highest ranking officer in the group and had the look of experience about him.

"Captain Rangwere, I presume," said Brackman as he caught the captain's attention, "I must speak with you at once. I am Dr. Gustaf Brackman. My research shuttle was badly damaged after an experiment and I was forced to abandon it several lightyears from here, in an asteroid field. The research and experiments on board would be extremely dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands. At the very least, another shuttle will be required to replace critical components of the shuttle and a computer core to calculate the shuttle's exact coordinates. The recovery of my shuttle is of utmost importance and of highest priority. What can you do for me?" Brackman stared almost threateningly at Rangwere, waiting for a response.

"We will now wait for the security of this station to come..." He looked down at the Canine robot. "Good boy, I can see this station will be blessed to have you on board." He smiled as the same waiter from before walked out with a smile.

"I believe you forgot this sir, have a nice day sir." he said, making sure that he didn't focus on the scene of the stopping of the thief.

Dwight smiled as quickly put the bag on his shoulder. "Now... we can play some fetch in the holodeck till my ship..."


The computer voice sounded. "Star Ship Concordia has docked with the station, all personnel on assignment for Concordia, please head towards transporter room five as soon as possible."

Dwight looked saddened. He still keep talking to the canine. "I am sorry boy, but my duty calls, I am that ships chief Engineer."

He turns to Fleech and closes his eyes, sighing; he shakes his head slightly, "For the sake of the Captain having to repeat herself again; Sir, such formality is not required at this time."

"I assure you." He adds, seeing the officer's doubt materialize on his face.

He glances about, "Well, I doubt that many here would wish to stand silently here until death greets us...so, I suggest that we get lost in frivolity and camraderie, or, as an..." He stops; a glazed look comes to his eyes.

"...acquaintance would say, 'Let our hair loose' at what mess hall we have here. So we can get to know each other, since we will be working together for some time." He glances at the Captain, and dons a smile, albeit a fake one. "With dignity to our ranks and star fleet intact of course."

Dr. Brackman - Vernemeton Station

Brackman's escape pod soon entered hailing range of the station, though Brackman himself didn't noticed until several minutes later, as he was carefully going over the sensor logs. He hailed the station after storing the information.

"This is Dr. Brackman to Vernemeton Station. I would like to speak with the commander of the station as soon as possible after I am docked. Where is he located?"

A baffled Starfleet officer appeared on the viewscreen, looking utterly confused at Brackman's request.

"Dr. Brackman, it seems you don't have clearance to be in this area. Could you please go through the null space catapult and -"

Brackman cut him off angrily, "If you haven't noticed, officer, I'm in an escape pod. Clearance is the last thing on my mind. I would like to discuss the situation with the commander of the station, the sooner the better. Now, as soon as I've landed, I expect someone to direct me to the commander with all promptness. Is that understood?"

Brackman did not wait for a response before terminating the transmission. The escape pod quickly manuevered toward one of the station's hanger bays before landing. Brackman composed himself, preparing for a long fight, before leaving the escape pod. Another Starfleet officer awaited Brackman nervously.

"Captain Rangwere is located at the Hub's promenade. If you would just follow me," the officer said, wilting under Brackman's severe glare before quickly walking toward the hanger bay doors. Brackman followed after briskly. Soon they arrived at the entrance to the promenade, where Brackman noticed a small gathering of Starfleet officers and a mechanical dog.

"I'll take it from here, officer. You're dismissed," said Brackman. The officer hesitated momentarily before heading off in another direction. Brackman moved toward the group quickly, knowing there was little time to waste.

Karelia and Rellek were savoring the last few bites of their meal when a soft voice interrupted them. "We have arrived at Starbase 384," the computer alerted them. "Initiating holding pattern." Will swallowed his bite of food and replied. "Contact Vernemeton's main tower, request clearance for docking. When clearance is given, initiate automatic docking procedures."

The computer chimed, and began the given tasks without any further inputs from it's captain. "I love that computer," he said. "It's like I've got a full crew aboard sometimes.

[Mr. Fleech, ???]

"Where was I again?" Victor asked the group of people sitting in front of him.
"Spontaneous combustion Sir" one of them answered, Victor recognized him as Gregory Nesmith. "But you will have to finish that subject another time, I am here to notify you there is a transmission for you."
For me? I haven't had a transmission at the ten year I've been working here. Victor thought to himself.
Victor left the classroom and went to the closest place he could get the message.

<USS Alexandrus arrived at coordinates, passengers who have not yet left the ship have thirty minutes left to do so.>

[Victor E. Fleech, USS Alexandrus]

Victor awakened suddenly, how long had they been at Avalon already? Well, he need not worry, the comm message said he still had thirty minutes. He picked up his rucksack from under his chair, stood up and went to look for the closest docking port. For he remembered an officer telling him they would be docking with Vernemeton. None of the starfleet personnel that would come along to Vernemeton was still around. Nice, first starship I travel on and I already do not know where to get of.

The first person he came across he asked where he had to go:"Kadet, where is the closest docking port where I may enter Vernemeton?"
"Cadet?" the man answered "I am an ensign, but why do you need a docking port, the ship hasn't docked with the station. You will be beamed over."
"We are going by transporter? Sure, where's the closest room?" Victor answered.
"I'll take you there Sir, it's not far." The man said while he started walking.

In the transporter room the officer in charge asked Victor's name.
"Victor Fleech" he answered.
"Fleech" the officer muttered "Ah, here, Victor E. Fleech, you're late, hurry up and get on the pad."

[Victor E. Fleech, Vernemeton station]

Victor had not even set foot on the station or he heard a comm message directed at, amongst others, him.

<Would members of the senior staff please make way a.s.a.p. to the promenade, thank you>

While not even given the time to change out of his standard clothes he asked directions to the promenade and made his way there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Faraness was looking at her XO, X as she like to call her second in commands, she noticed another officer heading towards the group. This one however she did not recognise as one of her senior staff. He was also bearing what looked to be an earth pet called a cat on his shoulders. He came to a halt at the group of officers expecting to be greeted.

"Can i help you there at all Lt?" She asked after looking at his pips and calling his respectfull rank.

As she asked the question, she noticed the ops chief had spotted the group and was heading towards them at a casual pace.

"Goodafternoon I'm Jack Ryan, the new Chief of Operations on this station," were the first words he spoke to the group with. Faraness was a bit stunned to see a low ranking officer talk so casually, she actually thought she found someone that spoke as casually as she once did as a younger officer. But she then realised he did not know who he was talking to until the group faced him and he noticed the rank pips. The man quickly corrected his position and spoke again.

"Sorry Ma'am, Jack Ryan reporting for duties!" The words came out of his mouth in what Faraness thought to be an overly excessive amount of respect to compensate for his casual greeting.

"At ease Mr Ryan. We are not at war here, how come everyone is so formal." She said with a look as if to say not another one.

"Since the most of you are here now let me set this out now. When we greet i dont want to see you standing straight and being so dan formal. Call me captain but theres no need for my senior staff to be saluting me every second i bump into them on the station. Unless its something serious ofcourse or if theres an Admiral standing beside me." She said her last words with a smile as if to relax her staff more.

"Things are so different when your taken out of your comfort zone and your posted on a new station in the middle of nowhere. Noone knows you. There are new faces everywhere. You have to lea......." Faraness's sentence was interupted by a pulling sensation on her leg followed by a somewhat mechanical bark sounding much like a dog.

"What the hell is that?" She said taking a step back almost reaching for her phaser.

Ian smiled at Alyssa's eagerness to get right to business. "We'd might as well go there together," he said. "I could use you on the bridge."

Shepard called an idle crewman to take Reid's bag to her quarters, and they both exited the transporter room bound for the bridge. Once arriving, Naquv was ready for them. "Captain," he said, "Avalon reports all supplies have been sent, and Cargo Bay One has accounted for all of them."

"Good." He turned to the new first officer. "Well, I've had my turn already. Would you care to take us out this time, commander?"

**Reid steps off the turbo lift and cannot believe the size of the bridgesomehow the schematic made it seem smaller and duller. But it was actually quite alive. And rather large in comparison to her initial thoughts. She fallows Captain Shepard down the steps and around the railiung where she sees the chair shes been both excited for and afraid of she sits down while the Captain exchanges words with the Lieutenant. She acknowledges the Lieutenant as she takes her seat. Unfortunately she had been so asorbed in schematics that she hadnt bothered to note anyones name beyond her new CO. She grasps the arm rests and answers the Captains command.**

"Aye sir." **Her moment had finally arrived this was the first time she had sat in the chair and it actually belonged to her. Shed always had an XO ready to swoop in and save the day. Now it was her turn to make the hard decisions. Even though this wasnt a hard one it was very representative of things to come.** "Helm, bring us about and begin catapult launch procedures." **She takes a momentous pause.** "Engage jump when ready."

"Maggot?" Andrew asked with a raised eyebrow, his face not faltering. "Someone's going to have their temperature taken the uncomfortable way." He then got out a padd, wrote something on it, and handed it to Byrne. "That's a prescription for a little something to help you relax, I suggest you use your down time to also come up with something a little bit more original then maggot."

Dr. Brackman - En route to Vernemeton Station

Dr. Brackman closely monitored his escape pod's route, recording every sensor log so he could trace his way back, though there was nothing interesting to note on the journey. Unfortunately, the escape pod was not equipped with any form of warp drive, though Brackman at least had the foresight to have impulse engines installed so it wouldn't have to rely on only maneuvering thrusters for movement. At the moment, the pod was heading toward the station at full impulse, though it was already several hours into the journey.

Brackman was momentarily surprised at the sensors' sudden beeping and noticed that the station was detected. Brackman determined that he would arrive at the station within the hour and began to formulate his request to the commander of the station.

(off: lmao i love it!)

Faraness almost jumped when her XO turned and started yelling at the new Chief Medical Officer. She didn't expect a burst like that at all but when Aiden looked over and gave a cheekish grin, she knew he was just having a bit of fun.

"Now now, I didn't know the marines were here already?" She said while looking towards Mr Byrne. "Are you sure its safe to be yelling at your doctor X?" (off: X as in XO )

Faraness then turned and looked at the officer in blue. "Welcome onboard Mr Greenwood, you must excuse the X he nearly got his hands dirty and he could be a bit grumpy about it still." Faraness said with a bit of a chuckle. Her tone of voice putting out as if the comment was a friendly joke at the XO's expense. Although she hoped that he did not take offence. The captain then replied to the doctors first question.

"And no Mr Greenwood I do not have a 'nickname' as such but captain or sir will do fine. Although im sure if i need to see you for a checkup, the formalities can be left at the entrance to your office." She finished her sentence with a smile.

In the background, Faraness noticed another officer in yellow, who, in a way looked lost as he was walking around the promenade. At a better glimpse, Faraness recognised him as the stations new Ops chief. Although she had not met her senior staff yet, she had studied all their backgrounds and memorized what they looked like for this very reason.

She speaks up to the now small group of officers surrounding her. "Well it looks like our new operations chief has just arrived. X would you like to call him over for me please?"

Lt.

Killing time was it?

He shook his head and looked around before spotting a gathering of starfleet officers. He walked up and cleared his throat politely, and waited to then be acknowledged. He planned to ask them when the Concordia would arrive, which would give him a good indication of how much he could see of the station.

On his shoulder looking around like some Egyptian cat god, Cochrane stared at the people around him in an aloof manner that only a Feline could do.

"Well I better introduce myself now" *Jack mumbles to himself*

"Goodafternoon I'm Jack Ryan, the new Chief of Operations on this station"

*Jack did not yet realize that he was standing in front of his new CO and XO. So the formalities, which he normaly uses, were left at a standard.

"I'll give you one guess at the first lot of civvies to arrive here, Captain." he smiled.

Vernemeton Station - Arrival

*Jack Ryan was standing in front of a turbolift and as it opened, he and a group of civilians stepped inside. Jack had just arrived at Vernemeton Station on a commercial transport. This was his second placement after graduating from the academy, but in between he had been travelling around several sectors. His journey ended at station Avalon, where he contacted Starfleet and got the assignment to travel to this new starbase. He was excited to meet his new comrades and to see what this part of space contains. As he was the last one to enter the turbolift, he followed the rest to the promenade.
As the lift stopped, he exits the lift and is struck by the magnificent view outside. Nebula's, Stars, moving debris it was all in his sight. Jack's attention was suddenly abrupted, as he was still amazed by the view*

"Ey mister! You are in my way!" * A man shouted, carrying several bags and suitecases*

"Sorry sir" *Jack replied*

*Jack walked around the promenade, looking for other officers. Or was he the first?*

Andrew walked up to the captain, he had heard good things about her and her file made for a good read. She looked pleasant enough as well, however he wasn't sure what she was like. Medical files and comments from the Admiral that signed off on his transfer orders didn't really give him an impression of her character.
"Hey Captain," he said in a cheery tone, "nice to finally meet you. Do you have any cool nick name I should call you by? Do people call you cap for instance? You know, like Captain America. Is it just Rangwere or Captain. Or is it, you know, Captain but said in a cool and almost mystified and awestruck way, you know. Captain. Or, do you rock the french 'mon cápitan' as your moniker."

He smirks, "Yes, 'one of those' i'm afraid."

He chuckles to himself and decides to mess around with some of the newbies. He turns sharply on his heel and takes on the temperment of an old earth Marine drill sergent and stalks towards Greenwood.

He shouts, "You will address your commanding officer as sir or m'am, do you hear me!? You do not disrespect them, they are above you; you are a worthless maggot. You *will* say yes m'am or no m'am and do what you are told, do you hear me!?"

He turns his head slightly towards Captain Rangwere so his face is away from Greenwood and gives a lop sided grin. He snaps his head back to face Greenwood.

"What are you staring at, I asked you a question!"

OFF: Teehee, lol, and all that jazz.
