"Hobson to Dutchman. News is on the rise in our area Captain. The cardassians are moving unsteadily, and word has reached me of romulan warbirds being taken by the race called Ocampa. This makes your mission needing to go quickly. The USS Lothlorien has moved from Talonian space for some reason. You are to set a direct transwarp course and meet with one of the talonians. I can only hope he will respond to your coming. Good luck with this, and expect possible aid."

*Madison smiles.*
"It looks like we have already departed. Not the ceremony i has in mind but it done and thats what matters. I would like to say a few things while were our."
*Clears throath.*
"The USS Excalibur is a great ship with a great crew. Its mission will be long and most of you will not see us or the station of what you call home for months (real time). Your mission will be at regular warp even with Transwarp into the Delta Quadrant to meet the Delta Alliance. Transwarp can be used periodicly but not all the time. As we want you to expxlore. Hostile actions are a last resort. And nothing to the Alliance as we want a good impression. Starfleet is just in the making of a meeting of alliance or treaty not sure of which. But if you need defense this ship is most powerful. Even to match a station. With that i will let Admiral Hobson speak and them i think General Tucker has something to announce."

-- Posted by Tom Hobson on 4:06 pm on May 15, 2004

*Hobson stands next to the command chair.*
"Mr Devok, take us to the Delta Quadrant border for todays run."
*He then turned to the captain.*
"I hope you enjoyed your shore leave captain, Im thankful you returned when you estimated, we had of course planned the commisioning for when  you returned. And I would also like to thank you for accepting this command. We needed experience in this ships command chair, because it will be our representation in the Delta Quadrant. And you are just the experienced commanding officer right for the excalibur. You have the best of staff, Commander Moriaty I am told by Captain Brodie is one he would trust out of many people. And Dr. Travis, Mr. Sillik, Mr. Devok, all are with experience. Commander Cook has served under the finest science chief, Major Green, so you can expect great work from him, and he has a sense of humor everyone can be fond of in a tight situation. So this ship is set for a good future. I leave the future of its evolution in your hands captain."

-- Posted by Charles Tucker on 4:17 pm on May 15, 2004

*Tucker speaks after the Admirals.*
"I would like to say that when the USS Midway is complete it will be coming to you were you are at the time to give you, if we have enough, a marine team. I am trying to assemble a team of security officers to be trained as MArines. Making one a MAjor to lead the team. It is sure that you will find some hostile aliens out there. My men can make it easier to deal with. Of course i need volunteers to be a part of this team. Which as you might have guessed is the MACO's."

-- Posted by Torean on 5:22 pm on May 15, 2004

"Captain, All operations functions report normal. We are green across the board and the dockmaster has cleared us for departure."

Your orders are to explore the Delta Quadrant and make way to meet a race of the Delta Alliance. Use Transwarp only briefly. Most of the journey by regular warp as to make it better to explore.. The mission will be very long. But a good thing. You most likley will not return or see the station or its people for months as you will be stationed in the Delta Quadrant while we are closer to the Alpha. You can dock at Avalon. Tell them what ship you are and thank them for there helm is creating it with us. Record all findings. I trust Captain Dutchman and Commander Moriaty in first contact areas. And expect a MACO team in mid mission. General Tuckers best. Good Luck. Head for the Delta Alliance. At regular warp it is a 100 or so year journey. With Transwarp jumps each week or so i expect 3 weeks. Do not return to DS20 until ordered."

=^= Hail from Station Freedom =^=
We have new information for you. You are going to mee the Talonians (Spelling unsure). They are currently doing something with the USS Lothlorien (Starpheonix Division) so you are to right now dock at Avalon Station and await the Runnabout. You may do as you please on the station but not get in there way. Flag Admiral Vorak has informed us of a need of transport to Solaris Station (Shadowfleet Division). Captain Ductchman is to inform him you have arrived and await him to come onboard and his word of readiness to go. You all know what things are done for Admirals visits. I'm sure he will be interested in the ship so answer any questions. Ask Avalon if there is a Delta Alliance specialist or special ambassador that you could have assist you in your diplomatic meetings. Madison Out.

"Well I suppose that this means there will be a specail crew meal with the Admiral  in which we all get in the appropriate attire Captain."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 9:02 am on May 23, 2004

"Devok prepare to dock."

=^= All hands this is the captian prepare for inspection of the fleet admiral Vorak. =^=

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 6:19 am on May 24, 2004

"I knew it. Not only do I have to get used to a new colour and pip but now an entirely new dress uniform. Captain How long will we be needing our dress uniform Sir? Will we be needing to wear in while proforming our duty roster, because cleaning is all ways a problem. Helm ETA on docking with the Station? Captain is it just an inspection or are we a transport service. If we Are to take the Fleet Admiral somewhere he will need the V.I.P. quarters."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 1:55 pm on May 24, 2004

"No you can get out of these dress uniforms when the admiral finishes his inspection."

-- Posted by Embries on 7:05 pm on May 24, 2004

"Well, looks like this is my ticket home. Unless you need my service for anything else, I will beam over to Avalon Station again now. It was a true honour to work with you all, and I hope our paths may cross again soon, in the future!"

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 6:24 am on May 25, 2004

"Aye Captain. With Your permission Sir, I would like to go and get changed into Dress uniform and I shall show Admiral Vorak around. So inspection no specail dinner afterwards? I though a logical Vulcan would have expected a dinner in the nicest mess hall in the Quadrent. It is illogical not to is it not?"

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 3:38 pm on May 25, 2004

"Yes we could do the tour but dinner should be fine."

-- Posted by Devok on 4:15 pm on May 25, 2004

"Captain, can we go off the ship now?, i dont feel very good......i think it is logic to have a rest."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 7:25 pm on May 25, 2004

"Devok were about to leave if you dont feel so good you may go to your quarters."

-- Posted by Embries on 7:57 pm on May 25, 2004

*Embries gets on the transporter platform and smiles again.*
"I hope to see this ship soon again. Energize."
*Embries dematerializes, and moments later, Vorak and the ship's captain materialize.*

-- Posted by Vorak on 7:58 pm on May 25, 2004

"Permission to come aboard."

-- Posted by Torean on 7:58 pm on May 25, 2004

"Sir, I would like to remain on the ship and run a few diagnostics."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 8:07 pm on May 25, 2004

*Looks at Torean.*
"I never said someone could leave the ship."
*Turns to the admiral.*
"Sir should we start whit a tour our do you want to go to your quarters."

-- Posted by Vorak on 9:17 pm on May 25, 2004

"Please start with inputting the destiny coordinates, and engage engines to maximum warp. Then a tour would be most interesting, indeed."

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 6:26 am on May 26, 2004

*With the Nerves all a tingle I walk over the the Admiral. Good Morning Adrimal Vorak.*
"On behalf of the Crew and myself if the Captain has not done so already may I give you a welcome on board and you are welcome any time."
*Giving the Admrial the Vulcan greeting then Live long and Proser Admiral.*

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 11:13 am on May 26, 2004

"Well then lets start whit the  tour sir we should start in engineering."

-- Posted by Vorak on 4:49 pm on May 26, 2004

"Peace and long live, Mr. Moriaty."
*Follows the captain toward engineering.*

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 3:38 pm on May 26, 2004

*Walks in with admiral Vorak.*
"Welcome to our engineering."

-- Posted by Vorak on 4:49 pm on May 26, 2004

"Fascinating. I have had a tour on station Deep Space 20, when the ship was being constructed. However, seeing it in complete state, is fascinating indeed."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 6:01 pm on May 26, 2004

"Admiral if you would look here you can see pride of the sience department and our transwarp reactor."

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 6:35 am on May 27, 2004

*Joining the tour just after everyone arrives in the engine room.*
"Yes the science section proformed very well in their duties when they complete such a fine ship. What better to go with such a fine ship but to have such a fine Crew. I know the captain and I am very proud of her. Oh yes sorry Captain I should have told you that I have a slight problem with Transporters but as you see I have made arrangements to carry out the duties of Executive officers. Shall we move on to the sick bay now Captain. I am sure when The admiral was at DS 20 and the engine room was probably one of those things that was close to finishing then. Not to rush you at all."

-- Posted by Vorak on 3:34 pm on May 27, 2004

"Most interesting indeed."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 4:11 pm on May 27, 2004

"Well then shall we head over to teh sickbay then."

-- Posted by Vorak on 11:04 pm on May 27, 2004

"Very well. Do you know when our ETA is at the nebula?"

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 2:58 am on May 28, 2004

*Following the Admiral and Captain out of enginnering and into the turbo lift.*
"Sickbay."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 11:55 am on May 28, 2004

"I'm not sure sir we havnt left yet because we need to wait for the midway to bring maco's but they havnt left ds20 yet."

-- Posted by Vorak on 3:39 pm on May 28, 2004

"Captain, may I remind you that my transport to Station Solaris is an urgent one?"

-- Posted by Charles Tucker on 3:47 pm on May 28, 2004

"Then we can depart."
*General Tucker entered with MACO's Sloan, Munro, Clark, and Cruse. Chief Engineer  Martson was with him as well.*
"As i told the Captain, patience is needed to get the job done right. And i can assure you our job will be urgent when we come to it. I will remain Captain until we get to Solaris. I would much like to see the ship in action."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 4:22 pm on May 28, 2004

"I hope you mean captain of the midway because I'm still captain of the Excalibur."

-- Posted by Charles Tucker on 4:27 pm on May 28, 2004

"There is no Captain of the Midway. There is never a Captain of a runabout."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 4:29 pm on May 28, 2004

"Well then, what did you mean whit that then?"

-- Posted by Charles Tucker on 4:31 pm on May 28, 2004

"You are making no sense. I mean what i say and i say nothing suprising. You have misunderstood something."
*Tucker exits Engineering.*

-- Posted by Vorak on 8:05 pm on May 28, 2004

*Vorak raises an eyebrow.*
"Very... well... At least we are getting to Solaris station, then."

-- Posted by John Marston on 11:00 pm on May 28, 2004

"Sir I hope that engineering meets your approval."

-- Posted by Vorak on 5:34 pm on May 29, 2004

"Most certainly."
*Follows the others into the turbolift and heads for sickbay.*

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 2:50 am on May 28, 2004

*Walking in from the Turbo lift with the Captain and Admiral Vorak. Whistling and calling the Doctors name. Jake had reappeared in sick bay and came running at the whistle.*
"Admiral Vorak this is Jake Moriaty."
*Then The Doctor quickly follows the dog.*
"Ah there you are Doctor."

-- Posted by Weasly Cook on 3:22 am on May 28, 2004

*Runs in and bumps into Vorak.*
"I'm so sorry...."
*Jumps to attention and salutes sorry.*
"Admiral Vorak it's just that..."
*Smith follows jake and purrs as ho goes up to cook and jumps up on a couter and then to his soulder and starts walking around his soulders and neck. Breaks salute and picks Smith off his soulder and holds him.*
"...about that back there and me bumping into you it's just that Smith here just went AWOL on me and the computer said he was here Admiral."
*At that the cat interuptes and yowels very loadly at the Admiral.*

-- Posted by Mathew Moriaty on 6:32 am on May 28, 2004

"Well Captain Smith really. It is very rude of you to shout at people."
*Reaching forth to give Smith a pat.*
"Admiral I am sure you have met Weasly when you were at Deep Space Twenty. He was one of the Science personel that helped with her construction Admiral."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 4:57 pm on May 28, 2004

"Admiral shall we go to the mess hall for a diner?"

-- Posted by Vorak on 5:40 pm on May 29, 2004

"Your sickbay facilities are fascinating indeed. And most professional. Captain, do you know an ETA for our arrival at Solaris Station yet?"

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 11:12 am on May 30, 2004

"Stand by sir."
*Walks to a counsel inputs something.*
"At warp 9.975 2 day and 3 hours sir."

-- Posted by dutchman36 on 3:16 pm on June 2, 2004

"Stand by sir."

=^= Captain to bridge, initiate transwarp. =^=

*Some moments later.*

=^= Bridge to sickbay captain we arrived at Shadowfleet. =^=
