Isildur stood up from his medetation. He satrted out for someplace other than the confines of his quarters. What I need is a good place where I can be free he thought to himself as he headed for Holodeck Three. Once there he tapped the computer screens trying to fing a place he could relax. He found one place. A place he had been one Spring Break from Harvard. He activated the program and entered the holodeck. The orange and black grid had been replaced be a huge mountain range. Isildur started to concentrate on the animal he was wanting to become. Within a few minutes he was a Bald Eagle. This was the home of the eagle he had now morphed The Canadian Rockies. The eagle took off from the ground and caught a thermal. This is freedom the andalite thought as he soared through the sky.

The USS Raven was if the best shape she could be and was at warp speed towards Starbase Assaliant, Weill thought the shakedown cruise had been odd.......... or at least thats how he liked to put it, he had been on a few shakedown cruises but none where they actually found out something so important and had a practical mission that yielded results of the most unusual kind. This lead to him pondering the future of the Intrepid Raven class, she was not as big as the old Raven but had been modified and was far more advacned and was a better science vessel and that is what she was for, he was pleased with her, he leant back in his office chair and smiled, he was at that stage in his career he had always aimed to, he thought nowone aims to be an Admiral or anythign else they aim for the Captaincy of their own independent ship and he had it..........
Just as he was having this positive thoughts go through his mind he recivied the transfer list, espcially the new senior staff that were coming aboard. He saw the name he alreay knew Lt Commander Strife Cavit and than a very respected Engineer, a Commander Dantrek, than a new officer a Lt Jg Peter Berlinia, Weill was pleased as COO was the position he had been starved of, at least an experianced officer. Weill always made sure the transfer lists went to the First Officer so he could assign quarters etc and Weill couldnt wait for the station as he knew there would be some new in depth orders, he had been given an preview by Command but nothing as deep as he wanted. It only enhanced his want to know more.
Weill walked onto the bridge and he found Commander Majeski standing over the tactical console, just reading something that the junior tactical officer had.
Weill: "Commander here are the lists for the new senior staff we are going to be recieving once we arrive to starbase"
Majeski: "Thankyou sir........... oh a good bunch, i know two of them one by reputation and one personally........... i will assign quaretrs ASAP, it will be good to have the COO officers quarters in use they have been out of action since this ship was launched"
Weill: " Yes, strange how a ship feels naked without one......... i Ms Cavit is a good pilot, we have had a good few temps but a permanenet one would be excellent"
Majeski: " Yes she is very competant, she has her own very decisive style"
Weill: " Good......... how long until we reach Assaliant?"
Majeski: " 4 hours sir"
Weill: " Ok, your watch ends ina few minutes doesnt it?"
Majeski: " Yes sir, Commander Dixon takes over"
Weill: " Very good, its a shame we dont use the old Bell system, that would have helped me to remember........ must be getting old......... goodnight Commander"
Weill walked round the barrier around the Command chair and went around to the turbolift door, he than realised he had forgotten soemthing, he walked back out, went o his ready room than walked back our after collecting his book, he was pleased, he had got it and that even though he had forgotten it orginally he had remembered to collect it before getting to far way, he didnt think that even though he was Captain that getting the book to be transported to his quarters would be a good idea.
He walked into his quarters, breathed out and had a sonic shower went out and heard that he had a message, it was just the usual, he than asked the Computer to put some music on, Stravainsky sounded a good idea, while listening to it he had dinner, after a while after eating he thought that he hadnt been to the holodck in quite a substantial amount of time.
He got up and rushed to the holodck to make sure he got there before they were taken over, he put on a climbing program, spent 1 hour climbing before he got to the top where he sat down.

Angus threw open the door to the pub, and it crashed noisily against the stop, causing a brief pause in conversations. Then there was a roar of "ANGUS!" from within, and Alex and Angus walked in and stepped to the bar. The filthy barmaid swept crumbs and sawdust of the bare boards and smacked two mugs of foamy brew down on them. Alex and Angus picked them up, gave a salute to one another and slugged them back, racing each other to see who could finish first.
Alex could hear money being slapped onto tables as bets were placed. He knew that most were against him, but that didn't change anything. He drank back his beer as fast as he could, but still had about a third left when Angus slammed his mug back down on the bar.
"You buy the round for the place, laddie!" Angus roared, and the rest of the patrons followed suit and crowded the bar, causing the barmaid to bellow angrily as the men demanded their drinks.
Right, buy drinks, Alex thought to himself. "Computer, give me some money" he whispered, and a handful of coins appeared in his hand. Alex slapped the money down on the bar, and the crowd roared again. Alex looked around, and saw Angus gesturing at him to come over to a table that he had found.
Alex sat down and took another swig of his beer. Angus had found another mug somewhere and had finished half already.
"Well, me boyo, what did ye think of your first sword lesson?" Angus asked, his eyes probing Alex's.
"It was pretty good, Angus. What did you think?" Alex asked, not sure where the conversation was going.
"I think that ye hae some speed, and ye hae a strong heart, but that ye be too careful. Ye cannae win a fight when ye be tryin to not lose it" Angus said, taking another swig from his beer.
Alex was confused. "What do you mean, Angus?"
"I mean, laddie, that ye will ne'er win a fight li'e that if ye never try. Ye be too busy tryin to not lose that ye will ne'er beat me. I be tryin to win. If ye nae try, ye never will" Angus said philosophically.
Alex's eyes widened. He hadn't been expecting an personality analysis. What kind of program had he called up here, anyway? As he sat, he heard a quiet sound. "Computer, pause." Everyone in the place froze. Alex walked over and accessed the arch. His duty shift started in 45 minutes.
"Computer, save and exit." The smoky pub was replaced by the holodeck. The door opened and Alex hurried to his quarters.
40 minutes later, he stepped onto the bridge. Majeski got up from the Captain's chair as Alex walked over.
"Commander," Majeski said "ship status normal. Doctor Lise reports that Crewman Havio is in Sickbay with a minor burn. The lateral sensors are monitoring a magnitude 4 ion storm the Chi Delta system. Engineering reports a minor problem with the plasma conduits on Deck 12. Should be repaired momentarily. We are scheduled for arrival at Starbase Assailant in 4 hours."
"Yes sir" Alex said, making sure to remember each problem. "I have the bridge."
The turbolift doors opened and the rest of the duty watch stepped off and received the reports of those who had the post before them. Once that was done, the off duty officers left the bridge and Alex sat down in the Captain's chair after giving the bridge crew a quick visual check. They all nodded that they were ready to go.
Alex activated the small console in the arm of the Captain's chair to monitor the lateral sensors as they scanned the ion storm in the Chi Delta system.

Weill came out of the holodeck and he was quite tired, he had been called by the computer to review something on the arch, it was a name he rememberd him Commander Dantrek a fine officer, Weill had served with him while Weill was First Officer of the USS Scavenger, he was a fine Chief Engineer with great skills, and he was glad to have such an officer as him under his Command, Weill was almost betting that he would improve effeciancy on the vessel.
Weill than walked out of the holodeck and was faced by Acting Ensign Waller, she didnt look to cheerful
Weill: "Ensign? "
Waller: " Sir.................... i ..................i"
Weill: " Come on Ensign?"
Waller: " Sir i ask to be reverted to a Yeoman again"
Weill: " Why on earths sake, is there anything wrong, if this was 100 years ago i would ask if the pay wasnt high enough for you"
Waller: " I dont fee comoftable as an Ensign, i made a fool of myself"
Weill: "Permission denied, i made a fool of myself for years so we all just have to make fools of ourselves together"
Waller: "But...... i want to go back to what i was"
Weill: "Your not Peter Pan you know, you have to advance and take the options that are open to you"
Waller: " Yes sir"
Weill: "Now straigten up and go to your quarters, dont worry you wont be my assistant for long, i have got a vacansy for a Ensign on the Staff of Admiral Nakamura"
Waller: " Yes sir....... that would be"
Weill: " Great, i guess it would be he is getting on, but he is still active in inspections etc........... now dismissed"
Weill than walked off to the his quarters and went in and fell asleep.

Lang: =/\= We're approaching Starbase Assailant, sir =/\=
::Commander DanTrek awoke from his nap::
DanTrek: =/\= Acknowledged
::He stretched his 6'7" frame and stood up. He walked over to the mirror. His blaze-red eyes stared back at him. His sand-paper coarse orange skin appeared to have been cleared of the lesion he had had when he went to sleep, thanks to his regenerative abilities. He noticed his brown hair was slightly out of place. He directed a mini-burst of mental energy to his hair and rearranged to a more orderly fashion::
DanTrek: Perfect
::He headed out of his quarters and unto the runabout cockpit. Lt Lang, the Bolian pilot was in the pilot seat, while DanTrek took the co-pilot seat::
Lang: =/\= Starbase Assailant, this is Runabout Delaware, requesting permission to dock =/\=
=/\= Acknowledged Delaware, you are clear for docking in port 112 =/\=
Lang: =/\= Understood =/\=
::A few minutes later, the Runabout had docked, and DanTrek stood to leave::
DanTrek: Lt, see that my belongings are transported to my temporary quarters.
Lang: Yes, sir.
::DanTrek stepped from the Runabout onto the Starbase. He went over and checked a panel. The USS Raven-A was due to arrive in 6 hours. DanTrek looked forward to being assigned to such an advanced Intrepid class::
DanTrek: =/\= DanTrek to Lang. The Raven is due in only 6 hours, so just transport my belongings to storage =/\=
Lang: =/\= Aye, sir =/\=
::As he had some time, DanTrek fancied some exercise, and headed off to find a gym::

The USS Raven A entered the Assaliant area, all the bridge crew were at their stations. Communications came through from the starbase, asking for verification and informing the conn officer of docking procedure.
Lynee: " Captain 5 minutes to starbase"
Weill: " All hands prepare to dock"
Majeski: " It wil be good to see the starbase, and go to the bar"
Weill: " I was hoping to have a few days rest there ready for the next mission"
Dixon: " Sir do you know if the Science Council sent someone to review what we found?"
Weill: " I will find out when we get there, the science council it may suprise you to learn are not that technologically minded outside their area"
The ship closed yet further towards the starbase the ship came into range, Weill grinned slightly,
Lynee: " Docking in 30 seconds............... 20............10"
The big doors opened and the Federation starship moved in, Weill had always been totally amazed by the sheer size of theses starbases, starships you felt were big until you found you could fit dozens into a small section of the starbase
Lynee: " Docked sir"
Control Starbase:" Welcome to Starbase Assaliant USS Raven A"
Gradually the crew disembarked

Alex powered down the Science systems aboard the Raven and stepped off of the bridge.
Rather than preparing to leave the ship and look around Assailant, he walked down to his office. His assistant Quarel, along with Lts' Collaan and Ruten were both there as he had requested.
"Well, I'm not sure if we're going to have any leave time or not. The captain didn't really say. I do know that I have a stack of correspondence from scientists from all over the quadrant trying to find out anything about what we discovered on Volara 2. How is the report I asked you to put together coming along?" Alex asked.
Quarel answered. "It is pretty much ready for your approval, sir." and handed over a PADD. Alex activated it and started reading. It seemed to be a well written evalutation of everything that they had seen on the planet, along with complete breakdowns of some of the plant life forms that they had seen. Alex did see some errors that he thought needed to be changed, and mentioned them to his section heads. This started a long discussion between the four of them.
After several hours, the changed had been agreed on. Once that was over, Alex divided up the now 40 messages that had piled up between the four of them and they were all answered in sequence. Alex answered the one to Dr. Martin of the Science Council himself, attaching a copy of the report for his review. For good measure, he also sent a copy to all members of the Science Council.
That took several more hours. But finally, they were all done. Alex thanked his officers for their effort and told them to take some leave time aboard the starbase. He hadn't seen them move quite that quickly for some time. It had been a difficult shakedown cruise.
Alex left his office and walked to his quarters. He ordered a coffee from the replicator and took a seat in front of the window. Looking out, he could see the expansive interior of the Starbase, with dozens of ships from all over the quadrant/ He put his feet up on the table and slowly sipped his coffee, relaxing for the first time in many days.

Captain Weill had finshed his chat with Admiral Magellen, he went and had a word with the station Master, to find out when the resupplying of the Raven, Weill was pleased to hear that could be finsihed quite soon, but he didnt want to leave just yet, he wanted to meet all of his senior staff and get to know them a bit as they would hopefully be there quite a while and so he wanted them to work like a smooth well oiled machine. But before that time he wanted them to hae a little shore leave.
He sat at a table in a cafe having a drink, when Ensign Waller appeared
Weill: " Ah Ensign, please sit down"
Waller: " Thankyou sir"
Weill: " What can i do for you before you embark on a new channel for your new career"
Waller: " Well i wanted to thankyou for your support, and for giving me this opptunity........... Admiral Nakumura contacted me or rather his Chief of Staff did and they have got a shuttle to collect me, so i should be leaving within the hour"
Weill: " Well i wish you the best of luck"
He stood up and Waller did the same, he put his hand out to shake hands the the Ensign straitneed up and did so.
Weill: " Congratulations and good luck, and i am sure i will see you again, hopefully on my staff"
Waller: "I hope so to sir, and thankyou"
She walked away and Weill got back to his drink and the padd he was reading. It was an interesting set of data on the ship and what it had and had not got, he was hoping that his engineer knew what the ship had, nothing worse than staff that didnt know their own vessel.

::After DanTrek spent several hours of exhausting, yet rewarding exercise, he felt fatigued, so he went and got some rest::
-------------------The next morning-----------------------------
::When DanTrek awoke, he felt the overwhelming desire to take a look at this new assignment. So after dressing and getting some breakfast, he headed over to the Hangars.
He walked along windows that showed the Hangars. He past the large, magnificient Sovereign class starships, the big, armed-to-the-teeth Prometheus classes, the tough, sturdy Defiant classes, and then he found it.
USS-Raven-A, Intrepid Class; registry number NCC-750059-A. He began reading its specs on the PADD he had brought with him. 15 decks, Crew Compliment: 150; 11 Type-X phasers, 8 Photon torpedo launchers, 5 quantum torpdeo launchers, 20cm Ablative armor, Bio-neural circuitry. DanTrek would enjoy being the Chief Engineer of this vessel.
A voice came from behind him:: "Magnficient isnt she?"
<Who'd like to take this? Anyone?>

Alex suddenly came awake with a kink in his neck, sat up and looked around his quarters blearily. He had fallen asleep in his chair while looking out the window.
He scrubbed his face with his hands and leaned forward to pick up his coffee. It was stone cold. Nothing worse than cold coffee. Checking the chronometer, he found that it was mid afternoon and he had been asleep for almost two hours. Alex could very rarely sleep during the day. He must have been very tired.
Alex dumped his cold coffee in the replicator and grabbed a fast shower. Once that was done, Alex was still left with nothing to do. It was an unusual feeling, one that he hadn't had pretty much since his first day reporting to the the Hepta so long ago.
"Computer, tell me what there is to do aboard Starbase Assailant" Alex ordered, while doing up his uniform.
"Please restate request." the computer replied.
Alex sighed. "Computer, give me a list of things that there are to do aboard the Starbase for a member of Starfleet or the public."
"Accessing. There is a symposium of Stellar Cartographers on Deck 4, a symposium regarding Plasma Conversion Techniques on Deck 9, a concert by The Purple Stars on Deck 125, a showing of art by Grade 6 students on Deck 78, a sack race in Holodeck 12, a..."
"Computer stop!" Alex ordered. "Computer, access Alex Dixon profile and cross reference with events aboard Starbase Assailant. List any that coincide."
Alex listened with growing dismay as the computer listed things to do that he might be interested in. Every one of them was work related. It seemed the computer felt that he was a workoholic. Alex looked at himself in the mirror and found that he even had his uniform on.
Shaking his head with exasperation, Alex found some civilian clothes that he had in one of his drawers, put them on and left his quarters with the intent of just wandering around the Starbase. One thing that he had found was that sometimes interesting things happened when you weren't planning them.
Alex made his way to the airlock connecting the Raven to the Starbase. The corridors were deserted, as everyone was taking advantage of leave time to visit the Starbase. Alex stepped off of the Raven and took a look around. There was nothing out of the ordinary except an extremely tall humanoid with orange skin and glowing red eyes wearing a Starfleet Commanders uniform. "Wow, he has really neatly arranged hair!" Alex thought to himself.
Narrowing his eyes, for a second, Alex thought about the new personel list that had crossed his desk a few days ago. The Raven had been assigned a new Chief Engineer named DanTrek. This was obviously him.
Alex approached the Commander and said. "Magnficient isnt she?"
The Commander swivelled towards Alex and looked down, while Alex craned his head back to look up into the glowing eyes. "Yes, she's looks to be a good little ship" the Commander replied. "Commander DanTrek, CEO USS Raven." he rumbled, putting out his hand.
"Commander Alex Dixon, Chief Science Officer, USS Raven. It seems we'll be working together, Commander." Alex put out his own hand and had it engulfed by the huge hand of DanTrek. Everyone in Starfleet seemed to be bigger than him.
"Nice to meet you commander. How long have you been aboard?" DanTrek inquired, nodding at the Raven.
"Just a few days actually. She's a new ship, just out of the shipyards and completing her shakedown trials." Alex spent a few minutes explaining the mission they had just finished.
"Sentient plants? That's very unusual. You were extremely lucky to discover such a thing. How are the other scientists taking it?"
That's an astute question Alex thought to himself. "Much the same way other Engineers would if you told them you could move a starship at warp speed without warp engines."
DanTrek nodded. "I look forward to reading your report." He looked down at Alex. "I see that you're off duty. Where are you off to?"
Alex shrugged in response. "I have no idea, Commander. I have never been aboard Assailant before. I was just going to go look around. Care to join me?"

Weill was still reading his padd and having a drink when two officers arrived, they stood to attention and waited for a few seconds
Cavit: " Lt Commander Strife Cavit reporting for duty sir"
Belinia : " Lt Junior Grade Peter Belinia reporting for duty sir"
Weill: " Its good to see you Commander, Lt, a bit belated but i hope you will like te Raven and i am pleased to say your postions are all ready and nearly untouched as the ship hasnt long been out of starbase........... i suggest you go aboard and chexk the departments over, i will be calling a senior staff meeting so we can meet up and see the whole senior staff "
Belinia : " Yes sir, may i ask where the Raven is sir "
Weill: " Dock 6, just let them know who you are, you have been added to the senior staff lists"
Belinia : " Yes sir, thankyou"
Weill: " You seem to be very quiet and withdrawn Commander.......... i hear you know my first officer, Commander Majeski?"
Cavit: " Yes sir, i do, quite well"
Weill: " Good, i told him you were coming, he should be around, not sure, havnt seen the Commander since we disembarked"
The two officers saluted and moved away, they walked instep very quickly towards the dock area, he was pleased with what he had seen so far but he hoped, they would be as he hoped they would, orginal and commited, but he had to see.

DanTrek: I would be happy to join you, Commander.
::Dixon and DanTrek walked down the corridor, past the viewports of ships. DanTrek stopped at a Excelsior class::
DanTrek: An Excelsior class. Back before my people joined Starfleet, I remember when our ship met the first Excelsior class. I was on the Bridge as a Technician at the time. The Captain ordered it attacked for a reason unclear to me. We barely left it in one piece.
Dixon: Thats an old class of ship. They're no match modern weapons
::They continued walking::
DanTrek: This wasnt recent. It was back when it was first commisioned.
Dixon: What year?
DanTrek: It was 2285, I believe. Ah yes, it was. I had just celebrated my 40th birthday the day before.
::Dixon was shocked at this, and stopped dead:: 40th birthday?! But that would make you...
DanTrek: 145 years old, yes.
::Dixon began walking again::
Dixon: Then how come you're not higher ranked?
DanTrek: Actually at the height of my career with my people I was the equivalent of a Commodore. But my wife died while giving birth to my last child, so I retired to raise her. By the time she was grown, my people had joined the Federation. I entered the Academy at that time. I am currently a Chief Engineer because I refused any promotion to First Officer, although they've been offering me them for 2 decades.
::They entered a Turbolift::
DanTrek: Computer, take us to the nearest recreation Deck.
Dixon: So I take it you're a rather experienced Chief Engineer.
DanTrek: Quite. Not to mention I was a Chief Engineer for a decade or so before being promoted to Command in my previous career.
::The door opened and they exited::
DanTrek: So what looks good to you, Commander?#nosmileys#nosmileys

Alex looked around as the two of them stepped off of the turbolift. The recreation deck was very large, easily the largest single room that Alex had seen since he had graduated from the Academy. Alex wasn't sure that the Academy Convocation Hall was larger than this.
Alex was struck more by the number of people here. There seemed to be hundreds participating in more games than he had ever thought possible. Children were running around with hover balls, transport modules and other toys, while more sedate parents either watched or played games of their own.
There were a large number of doors leading out of the large room, along with signs indicating directions to holodecks, Parisi Squares gaming areas and others that Alex had never even heard of. He was completely bewildered by the number of choices so suddenly presented to him.
However, he did see a table game that was something that was familiar. Gesturing in the direction, Alex said "Game of Dom Jot?"
"Certainly" DanTrek replied. The two of them walked over to an unoccupied table. Alex was feeling pretty confident. He had been introduced to this game at the Academy and was fairly good at it. DanTrek selected a cue and looked over. Alex nodded so the Commander took the first shot. Alex's face fell a bit. It seemed the Commander could play quite well. The engineer put together 3 nice shots, but then put himself into a difficult situation and missed. Alex stepped up, but missed his shot.
Cursing quietly, Alex stepped back from the table as DanTrek lined up another shot. Looking around, Alex caught a reflection of himself off the mirrored surface of the side a Dabo Table. He was smiling. This was the first real fun he had had in several weeks.
"Your turn Alex" DanTrek said. Alex looked over and saw he had another tricky shot in front of him. He made it this time and play continued...

POST BY Lt Jg BELINIA
After his weeping session, Peter got up to take a sonic shower. He had gotten into clean clothes and was ready to leave. His heart was still dragging on the floor, but at least he knew how she felt. He noticed that there were several messages on his computer ans he sat down to read them. There were 2 from J'Leera, 1 each from Dimijtri, Luke, Kevin and 0 From T'Caph. He found that odd, but did not dwell upon it. He noticed a new message, he opened and bagan to read it.
It was the Pilot of his Runabout, it was ready to depart. His things had been transported over and they were awaiting him. He got up, picked up his hand luggage and headed out. He took one last look at his room and stepped out for the last time. He eventually wanderd onto the deck of the USS Nelson, a Danube class starship. He took his seat and the pilot started the pre-flight checks.
*******************************************************************************************
The Nelson arrived at Starbase Assailant within two days. Peter was slightly worried at meeting his new crew mates for the first time. He blocked that out and focused on the more important things, like contacting his beloved.
The crew of the Assailant were unloading his things, and someone came to escort him to his new quaters until he was ready to board the Raven A. Peter settled in quite nicley, he was tired through lack of sleep during his journey, he was worrying about his love and how she was doing, what she was doing and how was she dealing with the seperation.
Once he was settled into his quaters, temporary though they may be, he contacted his new Ship.
"Belinia to USS Raven A." He said as he opened a comm channel to the ship.
=/\=USS Raven here=/\= Came the voice.
"I would like to speak to Captain Wiell, if I may." He said.
=/\=What is it concerning?=/\= Came the voice.
"My name is Peter Belinia, Liutenant Junior Grade. I am your new Chief of operations. I would like to let him know that I am on the Starbase."
=/\=We shall inform him. Raven out=/\=
And with that Peter got back to reading his book.
OFF:: Hey guys, just wanted to say a big hello! And if anyone wants to get me on the ship to show me around that would be cool.

Captain Weill was walking towards the entrance to the Raven and he saw Strife Cavit and Peter Belinia, thye were staing waiting for the clearance codes to go through, they seemed quite shy
Weill: " Ah we go aboard together........ Commander, we havnt had a Conn officer for a substaitial period of time, so your department will need extra training especially to fly our various support craft, Mr Belinia the same for you, and i would like you to work closeley with Commander Dantrek to get the ship systems running effecintly"
Cavit: " yes sir, i have seen which vessels we have and i will train my staff appropriatley, how many staff do i hav sir?"
Weill: " A small department of 5 crewmen, ad you Lt have 24, so obviouley this will fluctuate but i suggest you co ordinate with Commander Dantrek and use your staff together more effective i guess, but that is in your hands........... shall we go in?"
The doors opened and they were welcomed on the other side by Commander Dantrek who was signing in"
Weill: " Commander Dantrek, well well well...... long time "
Dantrek: " Indeed sir...... A Captain, it will be an honour to serve with you again sir"
Weill: "Still havnt lost that silver tongue, it will be good to have you back and set engineering up as you see fit, this is Lt Belinia our new Chief Operations Officer and Lt Commander Strife Cavit our new Chief Navigation officer"
They all shook hands and Commander Dixon stood behind observing
Weill: " Commander Dixon, could you show theses new officers around and talk to Commander Majeski about quarters for them"
Dixon: "yes sir...... welcome aboard, would you come with me"

Alex looked at the Dom Jot table with dissatisfaction. The game between he and DanTrek had been going on for almost a half hour now, without a winner. They were down to the last two balls on the board, but they each were playing safe shots, trying not to give the other an advantage. Alex's ball was stuck in behind the 5th bumper and he had to arrange a very difficult shot in order to touch the next ball. Alex looked up to see DanTrek hiding a smile behind his hand, which made Alex more determined to make the shot.
Alex decided on the shot trajectory and carefullyl lined up his cue and prepared to shoot.
"Weill to Dixon, come in."
The unexpected interruption startled Alex and his cue launched the ball right off of the Dom Jot table, causing one of the onlookers to duck quickly to avoid being hit. The ball continued on it's trajectory and out of Alex's line of site. There was a crash, followed by a curse, which was then followed by another crash, with Alex wincing after each new noise.
The commotion finally ended and Alex straightened hesitantly. The magnitude of the disaster slowly came into view as his altitude increased. Several people were on the floor, along with the remains of what looked like a picnic lunch. The immediate area had gone silent, except for another impatient "Weill to Dixon, come in..."
Alex tapped his comm badge and said "Stand by, Captain..." as he and DanTrek started over to the disaster area. Luckily, no one seemed to be upset and the cleanup went quickly.
After it was done, Alex tapped his communicator and contacted Captain Weill. "Sorry sir, what can I do for you?"
"We have some new officers boarding. I would like you available to show them around. Please report to the Raven as soon as possible" Weill ordered.
"Yes sir. Commander DanTrek is here with me, in fact." Alex reported.
"Excellent, bring him with you. Weill out."
Alex looked at DanTrek. "Rematch next time?" DanTrek nodded and the two of them left for the Raven.
As they walked towards the gangway, they could see Captain Weill chatting with two people Alex didn't know, but recognized from their personel jackets, Strife Cavit and Peter Bellinia. As the walked up, the Captain turned and said " Commander Dantrek, well well well...... long time " The captain then introduced the others to DanTrek while Alex watched from behind.
The Captain turned to Alex and said" Commander Dixon, could you show these new officers around and talk to Commander Majeski about quarters for them."
"yes sir...... welcome aboard, would you come with me?" The three of them followed Alex as he boarded the Raven and stepped into a turbolift, which carried them to the bridge. Alex stepped off and introduced the new officers to Commander Majeski, who gave them a brief tour of the bridge. Alex went to his Science station and ran a quick check to make sure everything was alright with the Raven.

Majeski: Welcome aboard. As Commander Dixon said, I am Commander Majeski, the First Officer. Commander DanTrek, your Bridge Station is over there to the right of the helm.
DanTrek: Thank you, sir. If you don't mind, I'd like to get straight to work.
Majeski: You wouldn't prefer to see your quarters first?
DanTrek: That can be done after I get off duty.
Majeski: Then by all means ::he motioned to the Engineering Station::
DanTrek: Actually I meant Engineering itself. All I can do here is checking status reports.
Majeski: Very well, then. You are dismissed.
::DanTrek noted the location of Main Engineering on the Master Systems Display and then headed to the Turbolift::
DanTrek: Deck 11
::The turbolift took him to that Deck, and he stepped off. He went down the hall and entered Engineering. He walked to the far end of the observation area::
DanTrek: By order of Starfleet, I do hereby take Command of this Engineering Department.
::The technicians looked at him, nodded, and returned to what they were doing. The two other Officers on duty in Engineering, a Bolian male and female Trill came over. The Bolian spoke::
"Greetings, Commander. I am Lt Joktel, your Deputy Chief. And this is Lt Paria"
DanTrek: Pleased to meet you both. I am Commander DanTrek.
Joktel: Good to have you, Commander. I've heard of you.
DanTrek: Have you? Good then. Anyway. How do our systems check out?
Paria: Just fine. We had a small problem with decreased power output from the Warp Core, but that turned out to an imbalance with the matter/antimatter flow regulators. We have corrected it.
DanTrek: Better check just to be sure. Computer, run a Level 5 diagnostic Warp Core diagnostic
Computer: =/\= Working....Diagnostic complete. All systems normal =/\=
Joktel: Happy?
DanTrek: For the moment. Is it just me or is the artificial gravity a little off?
::Paria went over to a console:: No, its not you. Artificial gravity is at 0.99g. You could feel that?
DanTrek: Lt, when you weigh 350 pounds, .01g is a big difference.
Joktel: 3.5 pounds difference to be exact.
DanTrek: Correct. So lets fix it.
Paria: But we usually leave that to the technicians.
DanTrek: No job is below you, remember that. On my last assignment as Chief Engineer, I personally scrubbed a plasma conduit to improve flow efficency.
Paria: Yes, sir.
DanTrek: Now lets get moving.#nosmileys

Majeski blew air out of his lips and sat back down , he was still in sock, the elven Race just ultimately declared war on the tholians and the federation didn't want a part of it, he scratched his head he didn't want anything ot do wiht it either but he had to worry because is brother was smack dab in the middle of it
A yoeman came and handed him a cup of tea "here you are sir" she said
Majeski smiled and brought him self out of cloud nine
Off: sorry It small but not much time today tomorrow i can make a bigger one , DevaintArt's steal admin is at hand

Weill: " I will go and see if i can get you some help from the Starbase, they wouldnt just send trainees, i will try and get one instructor from some where"
Lise: " Thankyou sir it ould be most useful, as you know we dont always have time to train them"
Weill than packed up and walked back to the starbase and wnt to the quartermaster and Personnel officer, they were near the coking area.

Alex spent several minutes at his station verifying that everything was alright aboard the Raven. Finishing that, he looked around. There was just a skeleton crew aboard right now for house keeping while the ship was in the Starbase.
At that particular moment, Alex's stomach decided to rumble. He hadn't had anything to eat for several hours. Alex decided to head down to the Crew Mess and see what was available.
Alex arrived in less than two minutes, and walked in to see Berraine, the Bajoran mess hall cook, serving two steaming plates to two security officers. Alex took a seat at an empty table and she walked over.
"Good afternoon commander. Nice to see you again. Can I get you something?" Berraine asked.
"Sure. What's on the menu today?"
"I have a Vulcan vegetable souffle, various meat sandwiches from Earth, an Orion Keera steak, and some tradtional food from the planet Acamar. What would you like?"
"I have never had anything from Acamar. I think I'll give that a try" Alex decided.
Berraine nodded and walked over to the cooking area. Quickly, she was back with Alex's selection.
Settling in, Alex started his dinner.

Isildur left the holodeck after a while. He was far more relaxed now that he had been flying. He was back in andalite form and feeling good at not being rash with relation to Visser Three. He saw a new officer coming down the hall. "What the..." he said as he started to draw his phaser. <Stop. I am an officer on the ship and I mean you no harm,> Isildur thought quickly. The officer looked confused until he relized where the thought had come from. "I am Commander DanTrek the new CEO. What is your name?" he asked while returning the phaser to its holster. <I am Junior Grade Lieutenant Isildur-Sirinal-Cooraf. I am the counselour on the Raven,> Isildur replied in thought speak. "What kind of creature are you?" he asked sounding currious. <I am an andalite. If you want I will assume my human form,> Isildur said and he than quickly morphed into his human form. In a few seconds the monstrous creature was no more. "I have the ability to morph in any creature. As long as I have aquired its DNA," Isildur said in his very human voice to curb the curriousity obviously felt by the new CEO. They continued along the halway talking while the andalite read this person's feelings. OOC:Tag Commander DanTrek. I am sorry for my lack of posting. It is hard to find a working computer around here.

::DanTrek walked along, "talking" with this most interesting crewmate::
DanTrek: I assume that you speak telepathically because you have no vocal ability? I noticed in your natural form that you had nothing resembling a mouth
Isildur: <That is correct. Thoughtspeak is my only form of communication>
DanTrek: So you're telepathic. Does that include mindprobing?
Isildur: <To some degree. I am reading your emotions at the moment. Does that bother you?>
DanTrek: Not at all. I could detect it actually. And in fact I'm doing some probing of my own of you at the moment.
Isildur: <Are you telepathic as well then?>
DanTrek: Not exactly. I have the ability to transfer mental energy from myself to another. At this range I can bounce that energy off your mind and get information about you.
Isildur: <Fair enough.>
::They continued on walking::

Alex was just finishing his meal when his communicator chirped. "Lt. Prosser to Commander Dixon."
Alex didn't happen to know a Lt. Prosser. Curious, he responded. "Dixon here, go ahead lieutenant."
"Sir, I'm with Assailant Security and stationed at the Raven gangway. I have a Dr. Sonja Lockett here. Says that she is supposed to see you, but she isn't on the list of crew or visitors." Alex didn't happen to know a Dr. Sonja Lockett either, but he could guess what she was here about.
"Keep her there, lieutenant. I'll be there in a minute." Alex shook his head, stood up and left the Mess Hall.
Alex stopped by his office on the way to the gangway and picked up a PADD. He quickly left again while saying "Computer, download available information on a Dr. Sonja Lockett." The PADD beeped when the download was done, and Alex scanned the results quickly. As he had thought, she was here to represent Dr. Charles Martin. She was listed as his administrative assistant and specialized in terrestrial biology. She had written a number of papers regarding plant and animal species interactions on various planets. Probably the best expert he could find on short notice. She was listed as being stationed at the Federation Science Council. She must have made really good time to get here this quickly.
Alex stepped off of the turbolift and made his way to the gangway. At the bottom, he could see a Security lieutenant blocking the path of an irritated looking human female who appeared to be in her mid 40's.
As soon as she saw him, Dr. Lockett said "Commander Dixon, remove this man from my path. I wish to come aboard and question you about Vorona 2!"
Alex raised an eyebrow. She was here to question him. That sounded like he was going to be on trial. Not the best way for her to begin a professional relationship. "Lt. Prosser is just doing his job, doctor. You are not on the Raven's visitors list. I might have put you on it, assuming that someone had told me you were coming here to question me. However..." Alex shrugged.
Dr. Lockett coloured slightly. "I'm sorry commander. I had thought that would be arranged for me. I happened to be on another mission when Dr. Martin asked me to come here to review your work on Vorona 2. I have to say that the Science Council is not looking favourably on your conclusions."
Alex found himself rapidly becoming irritated with this woman. She was here to question him, review his work as if he were still in the Academy and seemed to believe that she spoke for the Science Council. He took a deep breath to avoid losing his temper, but unfortunately decided to use the breath to speak. "I'm sorry the Science Council feels that way, but perhaps they would be more favourable if they actually reviewed my report before passing judgement on it."
That response made Lockett even less happy and she opened her mouth to speak. Alex interrupted her sharply before she could start.
"Dr. Lockett, have you had a chance to review the paper at all?" he asked.
"I've seen a preliminary draft and some of your evidence" she said in a hostile fashion, managing to place a negative accent on the final word.
Alex squelched his irritation again. Her manner was probably contrived to get the reaction she wanted. Perhaps falling into her trap wasn't the best idea. "Lt. Prosser, put Dr. Lockett on the visitors list. Dr. Lockett, come with me. Perhaps an actual review of our data will help give you an idea of what we are trying to say." Turning sharply, Alex marched up the gangway, giving her no choice but to follow.
Alex realized as he walked that this meeting was going to be more important than many that he would have. If Dr. Lockett wasn't happy or could find obvious faults with his data, then his scientific career could be finished before it started. Drs. Lockett and Martin, through the Science Council, could use their influence to ridicule or bury any discovery he had. He would have to prove to Lockett that what he had said about the plants on Vorona 2 was true, or he was finished as a scientist.
