Stacey got about and was ready to follow Commander Roberts as he took her and Sara on a quick tour, but before she had a chance to take one step a crewman approached her and whispered in her ear.
“Commander there is a new crewman on the bridge I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but if you are going to take a tour it may be a good idea to take her as well Ma’am.”
Stacey nodded as she smiled at the young female crewman. “Thank you crewman good idea, but don't call me Ma’am.”
Stacey turned to John and Sara and smiled as she said. “I am going to see if we can entice another new crewman to join our tour I shall be back in a few minutes.”
Stacey made her way out of the lounge and to the closest turbolift. “Bridge.”
As the turbolift sped upwards toward the bridge Stacey sighed as she moved a hand to her back, the chair she had just sat in didn’t do her any favours. The turbolift doors opened and Stacey stepped out onto the bridge. Stacey looked around for a young ensign but she didn’t see any. She took a closer look around and was surprised to see a woman she had met before.
“S’reena you look better in teal than you did in red.”
Commander Hope turned toward Stacey, Stacey almost jumped back as she saw a gold lizard type thing in her arms. “Who is this adorable little thing?” Stacey asked with genuine curiosity
Stacey listned intently as Commander Hope explained how she came to have the lizard creature. “Fascinating, I am about to take a tour of the ship would you care to join us?”

"Thank you captain," the Romulan replied, twisting her head around to face the Vulcan. "And thank you for pointing out my station to me, however I have studied the ship's schematics on our way here. I would like to make sure my family is settled first, but then I'd like to familiarise myself with the current mission." She hesitated briefly. "I would appreciate a short briefing. The Black Tulip was on a medical emergency and I was assigned there for a short period after my transfer from the USS Hepta."
"Certainly, Commander", the vulcan replied, "At the moment we are currently assigned to a routine patrol of the Federation-Cardassian border to ensure they are abiding by the military construction stipulations imposed after the Dominion War. We began our observation 3.7 days ago and thus far have recorded no discrepancies. The specifics can certainly wait until you and your family have settled in."
The romulan responded to his second inquiry next, "I don't know what this creature does; she just hatched prior to us docking here. The egg was given to me not long before that but I don't know what exactly she can do."
Again, she fell silent for a few seconds, "I believe this is called a firelizard, and she seems somewhat telepathic towards me. I'm sure she'll have some value when she matures, and I would request to keep her with me for now. Her value might be learned through observation. I've decided to name her Auric, since Michael said her colour is golden."
Savot arched his right eyebrow as he responded, "Intriguing, and your selected name seems logical. I certainly have no objections to Auric remaining aboard the ship, though before I can authorize her accompanying you at your station whilst on duty we'll need to ensure her presence won't disrupt the focus of the other bridge personnel."
A pair of nods was exchanged between the two officers as Commander Hope moved to examine her science station. A few moments later she addressed the captain again, "If I may, I would like to seek out the counselor. I believe she may be an old acquaintance and we still have a standing appointment that I would like to see resolved as soon as possible."
The request coincided with the arrival of the very officer in question via the bridge's rear turbolift, "I believe your resolution is upon you Commander." Savot finished speaking to his science officer and nodded a silent greeting to the Counselor before fading into the background and resuming his perch upon the center seat.
“S’reena you look better in teal than you did in red”, the counselor greeted the romulan as the vulcan refocussed his attention on the telemetry from the probe observing the Klingon and Hirogen wargame.

"I don't believe she'd interrupt my duties captain," S'reena readily argued, "and I'll endeavour to make sure she doesn't."
The Romulan turned back to the counselor's voice, smiling at the comment regarding her uniform colour. "I'm sure," she agreed, "at least I no longer bear the burdens of command, which I find invigourating to say the least."
“Who is this adorable little thing?” Stacey asked with genuine curiosity.
The Romulan lightly stroked the sleeping creature's back, her mind filling with sensations of hunger and affection. "This is Auric, she's just hatched a few hours ago." Her expression was one of pure affection and elation as she turned blind eyes on the creature in her arms. "She's a firelizard, I'm told."
Stacey listned intently as Commander Hope explained how she came to have the lizard creature. “Fascinating, I am about to take a tour of the ship would you care to join us?”
"That would be useful. With the captain's permission..?" Of course, she had already been dismissed to see to her family, even though she knew Michael was quite capable of settling in and see to their children. At moments like this, she missed having actual sight but even more so she missed the comfort of a feeling of home, as she had for years on the USS Hanson, and after her decommissioning, on the USS Hepta.
The Black Tulip never had a chance to become home and she briefly hoped that the El-Salvador would become as much of a home as her long-term assignment to the Hanson had been. She felt a pang of guilt, even though Drew himself had transferred out of the academy as well. She sighed, realising that she was even starting to miss the grumpy admiral, as well as the strained relationship (and perhaps friendship?) that they had shared.
Squaring her shoulders, she stepped into the turbolift after the counselor, resolving to send her old commanding officer a message soon, letting him know she was settling in all right and enquire after his own well-being. It felt as if that was the least she could do, after years of being a down right pain in the rear-end to him. A loyal pain in the rear-end, at that, she mused with a smile.
"Where are we going?" she queried, "are you going to introduce me to our fellow crewmates?" She grinned. "Captain Savot is really a cold fish, isn't he," she added, "true to being a Vulcan, quite unlike Salek don't you think?" She wagged a finger at the counselor, her smile broadening. "But there's something to him and I'll figure out what. He has a nice gentle voice, calming too. I think...." She paused. "I think I'll like it here."

Sara was waiting for her tour of the ship and since there was a new commander on board who Sara heard was once on the command track but now transfered to the Science track.
Trusdale wanted to stay away from her for a while till she got the "read" on her. Sara moved around the ship and found herself in front of the master display in engineering. As she found her way around the ship she got tired.
Heading to her Quarters she figured she would just wait till her shift started. As she sat down she was drinking tea when her door chimed. "Enter."

As Sara left, John wondered why she was so closed off to people, it was almost like she didn't want to become personnaly involed with any one, just professionaly, from personal experiance, John knew that course to become lonely, as hewas the same after the death of a friend, and his family. He thought it to be best to leave her for now, allow her to, get comfortable with the ship and her crew, before trying to coax her out of her shell, as there could be so many reasons for her acting the way she was.
John sat back down at the table, and waited for the arrival of Stacey and this new commander, he just hoped they wheren't going to be much longer, as he was starting to get bored.

Looking at the view screen and turning to face General Stark. " I see the new cloak is working perfectly and that you have no intentions of letting the El Salvador know we are here. Thats kind of rude not to mention the trouble it might cause since I can't give them any details of my last mission General"
" Well Mr. Wolf if you hadn't fought so hard to get back things would be easier now wouldn't they. Not to mention your pain in the neck Captain you have no idea of the strings he pulled to get you back aboard. He caused enough problems trying to find you and nearly cost us the mission"
" The Mission is that what your calling Stark its more like a killing if you ask me. I'm done you know that don't come asking me for one last job. I have a hard enough time dealing with what you asked me to do this time."
"Mr. Wolf don't forget yourself I'm still a General and your blanket threats of exposing us are wearing thin right now and that captain better stop asking questions or me might find himself in trouble with you. We are transmitting your orders to him now coded on priority one with special instructions on possible future mission. Not to mention a very long excuse of where you have been and further instructions to stop his inquest of where you have been. He got you back he should settle for that, before he gets more then what he asked for. Now if I were you I would head to the transporter I'm beaming you off and getting back to the fight" turning to watch wolf leave" Until the next time your skills are need Mr. Wolf"
Walking to the transport room wonder what to expect he had been gone a long time. Thinking to him self " How many people need to die to keep the peace at what cost" He had packed light and didn't need anything his bag was already waiting for him stepping on to the transporter pad. He felt the beam take him away from his old life again and back to the one he wanted so badly.
When the beamed finished he found him self standing in Captain Savot ready room full of other officers he didn't know. The General had done this to him on purpose to throw him off guard and to prove a point to his captain he knew that.
Looking around the room and at the captain " Sorry for the interruption sir General Stark should have transmitted the orders and" not wanting to say to much " Well sir you know how he is you have been making him mad since all this took place months ago." Coming to attention " Sir permission to come aboard " Tag <anybody>
He was still feeling un easy and knew that security would be running in at any minute. He was wondering who the Romulan officer was and what other changes were waiting for him. He felt out of place with his black uniform on and Skull patch on the sleeve not to mention he was wearing the wrong rank he was a Lt. Col not a full bird anymore. He wanted out of the room and out of his old life or anything that reminded him of it. All he could see were the people he was asked to elimenate and there childern being orphaned because of him.

Stepping into the turbolift closely followed by Commander Hope, Stacey let out a small sigh.
"Where are we going?" she queried, "are you going to introduce me to our fellow crewmates?"
Stacey smiled. “We are going to the mess hall I got The tactical officer John Roberts to give a tour for me and Ensign Trusdale I thought it might be good for you to join us.”
"Captain Savot is really a cold fish, isn't he," she added, "true to being a Vulcan, quite unlike Salek don't you think?" She wagged a finger at the counselor, her smile broadening. "But there's something to him and I'll figure out what. He has a nice gentle voice, calming too. I think...." She paused. "I think I'll like it here."
Stacey chuckled .”for a Vulcan I found him rather accommodating.... I have a feeling I am going to like it here too.”
The turbolift came to a stop and Stacey stepped out looking back at S’reena and saying. “Thirty five metres on our right will get us to the mess hall.”
Walking down Stacey rubbed the lower part of her back the pain had grown to be a rather inconvenient annoyance over the last few hours and Stacey was getting more than a little irritated by it.
Entering the mess hall Stacey walked up to John Roberts and said happily.
“Lieutenant Commander John Roberts this is Commander S’reena Hope.”

John held out his hand in greeting, "Welcome aboard commander, I shall be your tour guide this evening" he said with a smile, the Romulan women appeared to be clutching something, what it was though John wasn't sure.
<Commander Hope and Jackson>
"So is there any particular place you wish to take a look at first?"
John waited patiently as the two officers stood before him had a quick chat about where they would like to go first, John felt awkward and was at a loss where to go, the ship was just like most others. He had made plans before hand, but had since forgotten the whole lot, which slightly irritated him, thankfully, he wasn't feeling any unfair feelings toward the new science officer, despite what he had said before that happened to his parents.

S'reena could hear tension in the young man's voice, almost as if he was trying to keep a form of anger in check. Wisely, she chose not to comment on it. "That's very kind of you Mr Roberts. Please, I am not on duty, so S'reena will do. I'm afraid I won't do much seeing though."
The Romulan indicated her sightless eyes. "I am blind. I suffered an accident on the bridge several weeks ago, when I was still assigned as first officer to the USS Hepta. With the loss of my sight, I requested a transfer to a non-command position. Perhaps you could show me the science laboratories somewhere along the tour, when it becomes convenient to do so? Additionally, I believe I should report to sickbay along the way as well."
She paused, sensing her young pet stir. Quietly, she stroked the golden creature's neck ridges, which caused the creature to croon softly in response. "How long have you been aboard commander?" she asked, by way of conversation, "and do you find it pleasurable to serve here?"
Having heard only Roberts and Jackson talk so far, she tilted her head. "Wasn't there another young woman supposed to meet us here?" she asked, "perhaps we should go find her first, before we continue."
To her surprise, Roberts led them to Trusdale's quarters. "Miss Trusdale, would you join us on the ship's tour?" S'reena asked her, holding out her hand to where she assumed the girl was standing after they were allowed entrance. "I'm Commander S'reena Hope, chief science officer. I only just arrived from the USS Black Tulip."

"Yes Commander thank you. I was just getting somethings ready for my first shift at helm."
Following the commander and the other crewman out of her quarters she was thinking about the name Hope. "Commander did you know a man named Jon Park when you were on the Hepta? I only ask because my Father knew his father and we grew up near each other."
<Tag Hope>
As they walked she didn't know if the commander studied her past or realized how far back her family was in star fleet however if she was anything like trusdale she knew.
Passing the labs Trusdale was impressed she liked the labs. She always spent time in them with her family. Just kinda listening to hear where everything was she continued to fallow till the tour was over.

Post by Savot on Sept 23, 2008 2:51:38 GMT
The day following the arrival of Commander S'reena Hope and her family, Savot had gathered the 'new' senior staff members in the ready room routinely simply to inform the group all at the same time to, at their earliest convenience after settling in, report to sickbay for the medical checkup that always followed a transfer. Those who had been aboard longer such as Mr. Roberts still had about 2 months before their med reports required updating.
The vulcan was just finishing explaining the situation when those gathered were joined by a column of lit particles that coalesced into the form of the El Salvador's Senior Marine Officer, Running Wolf. An arched eyebrow was Savot's external response before calming nodding to the other officers present and excusing them, "That's all for the moment; the EMH will inform me once all examinations are completed. Thank you."
Looking around the room and at the captain, Wolf spoke, "Sorry for the interruption sir. General Stark should have transmitted the orders and" the Marine hesitated slightly apparently ordering his thoughts and choosing how to explain, "Well sir you know how he is you have been making him mad since all this took place months ago."
Coming to attention, Wolf's tone immediately became formal, "Sir permission to come aboard." As the other senior staff members filed out, no doubt with curiosity as to the identity and manner of the new arrival, Savot turned his chair to face Wolf, extending his hand to indicate the chair across the desk from him.
"Welcome back, Mr. Wolf, please take a seat", Savot turned to his personal computer and mentally counted off the seconds as he estimated when the message would appear. The vulcan captain was internally satisfied as his estimate proved merely .7 seconds apart from the actual moment Wolf's transfer order confirmation appeared on his computer screen. Nodding at the report he turned back to his officer, "Permission granted, Colonel. While I regret any inconvenience posed to General Stark from my inquiries, attempting to recover an efficient member of the ship's crew was the most logical course for me to follow. I'll not make things anymore awkward for you by discussing your most recent assignments, I merely reiterate my refusal to allow the other aspects of your career to endager this ship or her crew."
Clasping his hands atop his desk Savot then attempted to lessen any potential 'sting' in his previous statement, "And I trust you would not knowingly allow it to do so either. You are, in fact, one of several arrivals we've had recently. Every senior officer with the exception of Mr. Roberts have been transferred to various other assignments. Even Commander Zimmerman is scheduled to depart shortly. I won't keep you; however, Colonel as I'm sure you'll want to get settled in and changed into a more familiar uniform. Your previous quarters are still at your disposal, and you're entitled to 36 hours to settle in before reporting for your first duty shift. I recommend you take the time to renew your medical examinations and perhaps meet the other new arrivals. Do you have any questions or statements before you go?"
<Tag Wolf>

Taking the seat indicated by his captain and listening to what he had to day. " I understand fully sir, I will not let my less known duty's interfer with the safety of this ship or its crew. I also look forward to changing my uniform and settleing in. As for the 36hrs to settle in I have had enough time away from this ship and would like to get back to work as soon as possible. As you indicated with new crew memebers there will be a need for some training to bring them up to the standards you expect."
Pausing for a moment " I also look forward to resuming my duties that are to the benfit of this ship and its captain. Logic dictates that I waste as little time as possible settleing in. I will change my uniform and get back to work"
He left the captains ready room and head for his quarters he wanted to change but just couldn't right away. There was somebody else he wanted to see first " computer location of Commander Roberts" after finding out where his old friend was he headed straight for him. He noticed the odd looks from people when he walked by them in his black Ops uniform but he didn't care. Right now he just wanted a little friend ship and a reminder of what life could be like. He found Commander Roberts giving a tour with officer he didn't know accept one commander Hope he remember her from the hepta. His feelings towards her were not bad but that was a long time ago and she seemed differnt " Well I hope your giving the the grand tour and not the cheap one" <tag anybody>

As the three of them left the mess hall, John took them to the crew quaters deck, where he stoped and pressed the door chime for Miss Trusdale, as he did so, S'reena said somthing about another person coming on the tour, John slightly smiled as the doors opened and Sara emerged. Then, the 4 of them began there long trail around the ship, John began by showing them around the crew quaters, showing them where all the senior officers stayed, then he grabbed a turbolift and headed down a few floors to engineering.
The turbolift stoped and John continued walking, pointing out places as he went, talking to the officers tailing him as he went, then, somthing which was a bolt out of the blue happened, and old friend showed his face, John smiled at him, and continued walking toward him, then stoping when he spoke.
" Well I hope your giving the the grand tour and not the cheap one" he said as the two of them reached each other.
John laughed, "You know me Wolf, a perfectionist, this isnt one of them cheap horror tours" John then pointed out each of the officers, introducing them all.
(Tag all)
"So, my dear old friend, care to join us?"

Looking at each of the officer as they introduced them selves, " I'm Lt Colonel Wolf Senior Marine on this ship when I'm not being tasked with other missions." looking at roberts he knew roberts knew what he was talking about.
" As for joining you on the grand tour why not but I expect popcorn old friend. Its been to long since we last saw each other I hope my Marines have been living up to your standards while I was gone. Time for that later why dont we move on with the tour and if possible can we swing by my quarters at some point. I'm currently out of uniform wearing this and to be honest I'm alittle tired of the special ops thing."<tag Roberts>
Looking at the new officer most were new accept one Commander Hope. He noticed she seemed differnt not like her old self. The officer's were totaly new to him and he felt out of place with them because he knew nothing of them. " Well Lets see here anybody care to tell me where your assigned. might as well know where to send the notices to report to me when your settled. Captain Savot make's it a habit to have all new officers report to me for refresher on ground combat training. Ship security goes through Roberts, dont worry its just to see where you stand and to recommend training if needed" <Tag anybody>

"we can head over and do that now, we need to head back toward that way" John said, looking around at the other officers, each giving a slight frown at having to go back on themselves where they had just been.
(Wolf)
"After that, we will go to the science labs and Sick bay for S'reena, then, I'm open to suggestions about places you guys wish to check out" John added moments later.
(Tag all)
The officers followed John and Wolf, as they did so they chatted to each other, while John spoke in a soft, quiet voice, so not to let on too the others about what he and Wolf where talking about. "So, how was the mission? Nothing too much of a challenege I hope"

" Sorry guys but I have spent to much time in this uniform and really want to change. I promise to make it quick."
Listening to Johns question " Let me tell you if Star Fleet every comes to you and says we have a Black Ops mission run. Dont every say yes because they always leave something out and once they have you they dont let go. Half the team under my command was lost and nobody will ever know the real reason why. I thought at first this was importan but Black ops in no better the klingon intelligence or Romulan Talsheyar. Its just a game to them and it cost to many lives to play. I'm sorry I'm just venting, its good to home and back to normal already. By the way I downloaded the latest cloaking technology scans to your computer including a few that aren't suppose to made known. I trust you'll know what to do with them and how to make the disappear" <Tag Roberts>
Looking back at the officers following they weren't saying much. Looking back over at Roberts " They seem quite do I stink or something"

"Indeed I know how~" John replied to Wolf, who then looked back at the new officers following the two of them, then, what Wolf said made him laugh a fair bit, but a question he didnt really reply to, besides a shaking of the head. (Wolfie )

Looking at Roberts he could tell he wasn't comfortable at all around the new officer's, he thought it was unlike him. He had known Roberts along time and knew he got along with everybody. Looking at the group again he made a guess it had to be the new Romulan. He never seen Roberts react badly to anybody else before then again he had never seen him around a Romulan either and that was only thing differnt about this group.
" You seem a little out of it is there something wrong my friend, it cant be because I smell bad right. Although I do feel ripe, its not the touchy-feely doc or our pointy ear friend back there is it?" <Tag Roberts>
He knew that there conversation would be heard by commander Hope but he needed to know what was bugging Roberts. Besides he really didn't care who he offend right now he was worried about his friend. Not to mention his last missin involved removing a Romulan senator which cost him half his team. So Romulans weren't high on list right. He didn't hold anything against hope he had served under when he was training.
" Trust me friend if you need to talk just say the word, besides you never know maybe pointy ears is half deaf as well" He knew is comments were wrong but he needed Roberts to say something.

After meeting the ships senior marine officer and continuing the tour Stacey stayed relatively silent, she was to busy concentrating trying to memorise the layout of the ship, however her attention was grabbed when she heard something she found rather distasteful she considered staying quite but the comment had her sufficiently annoyed she decided against it.
“Gentlemen, unless you it has slipped your mind you are referring to a senior officer and proper respect is due do I make myself clear?”
<Tag, Roberts, Wolf>
Stacey’s voice portrayed the authority she rarely used, but discrimination against someone purely based on their race was something Stacey never tolerated, her many years as counsellor had shown her first hand the damage racial intolerance could do, but she also understood how some people felt about Romulans but that was no excuse to show Commander Hope that level of disrespect and intolerance, after all she was a Starfleet officer and would have played no part in the problems the two men she was now eying had been involved in.
“Let me warn you two now, I hear that anything like that again and I will save two special seats in the front row the next time I give a lecture on tolerance... all seven hours of it”
Stacey then relaxed and smiled and her voice returned to the soft pleasant one it normally was and she said. "If you would please there is still more of the ship I would like to see."

Looking at Roberts and then turning to face there new Counsellor he smiled. He was rather impressed she heard the conversation and made a mental note of it for the future. He was trying very hard to contain his anger. She didn't know him or she would have understood he was worried about his friend. He gave her points for courage to stand up for something she believed in. He was also banking on Commander Hope getting involved.
If there was going to be a problem better to catch it now instead of later. He didn't want to see is friend get into any trouble so he played the only card left for the moment. "Commander Jackson is it, well I'm very happy to see you speak. Even more so to know it wasn't my stench that kept the group quite." Pausing for a moment to collect his thoughts he was happy with the commander about her courage but he wasn't in a good mood. Nor did he need Roberts name being involved if a report when back to Captain Savot.
" You know Commander before every mission I read reports and get as much intell on the mission as I can. I do this every single time no matter what ship I'm on I would think as ships Counselor you would do the same even more so." Turning to face Commander Hope
" Commander Hope if you are offend please speak up now, I know you have been listening to my conversation alot longer then Commander Jackson" <Tag Hope>
Turning back to Jackson " Commander I respect your beliefs more then you'll ever know, As for threats of what might happen well that's a differnt story all together. I was the one talking not Roberts are we clear on that one Commander. Roberts hasn't said a word for the last 3mins and 20 secs. There for your threats are for me only any reports of this are about me only.''
Pausing to catch his breath and keep him self Calm " Next if you think spending time in a lecture hall will bug me your sadly mistaken Commander. I can spend time in the brig standing on my head blowing a whistle to a romulan opera. So please do what you think is fit but keep Roberts out of this he didn't say anything. If you do involve him Commander well I can make one promise to you, I will not be happy and that is one thing you don't want to see happen, thats not a threat Commander its a promise" <Tag Jackson>
OCC: Hope you better save my butt LOL

Although talking about his past to people who where stragers to him, he found it hard to tell wolf, he continued to press the matter, asking if it was somone in the group, or if it was somthing else, then, Jackson spoke up, condeming what himself and Wolf was talking about, this irriated John, but he kept quiet, but was also pleased, like he could sense Wolf was, about he having the guts and audacity to speak her mind, considering the fact she hadn't been abaord five minutes, but he decied not to show it, keeping his face like a blank canvas.
He watched as Wolf and Jackson exchanged words, even Commander Hope chipped in, he felt almost guilty inside, as he was only trying to help John relax, he only wanted to help, and now he was himself being punished for a good deed, people often say the road to hell in paved with good intentions, but was this one of those intentions which was going to backfire.

During the exchange of words, although it was a somewhat one-sided conversation, S'reena had kept silent. Running Wolf's words did sting her personal pride but she won the inner battle that raged and managed to say nothing. Since she couldn't see their expressions, she had to rely on intonation during speech and she could hear Wolf meant no serious malice with his words.
"Silence!" she suddenly thundered as the counselor too mixed herself into the argument. "Counselor I am not offended however this constant prattling makes me believe that I have been assigned to a chicken run, rather than a Starfleet vessel."
Assuming Wolf was stood right before her, she glared at him with blind eyes. "Commander Wolf, next time, rest assured I shall retalliate when you speak ill of my species again. Though born and raised on Earth, I do take pride in my heritage."
Next, she turned towards the still silent Roberts. "Rest assured commander, I am not the majority of my species and though, as I just said, I do claim personal pride in my heritage, I also condemn a lot of what my people have done. I was tortured by my own people when they took over the Hanson during a training mission. I was given the choice to join them or be killed. Out of self-preservation as well as saving my family I joined them. It cost them severely, as I was also forced to betray them in the same time. I do not take kindly to my hand being forced but I trust you to judge me for who I am, not because of my species' history."
Finally, she took a step towards Jackson. "Rant over," she whispered sadly, "can we continue the tour now?" She paused. "And didn't we have a meeting to go to? We can't keep the captain waiting, he would be most....unamused."

John stood for a moment, pondering what words he should say, to try not too add too, or even calm the already volatile situation before him.
"Commander, I can assure you, I will judge you for who you are as a person, not because you are Romulan, also I was planning on speaking privately at a later time to inform you of my past and my, deep loathing of Romulans as a species, but not as people I must add, I have met only a handful of good Romulans in my life, and I do have a feeling that you are one of those handful of people" he then ended what he had to say on the matter, "Now, I thinks its time we left this subject alone for the time being, I shall discuss this with Commander Hope later, to clear up any ill feelings there may be at the moment." he again finished what he had to say, before asking if they wanted to resume the tour or not.

Looking at Commander Hope with a little more respect then he had before. " I would hope that you would have pride Commander Hope they are a very noble People. They are clever and resource as much as Vulcans. I meant no offense I was just worried about a friend who has shared some dirt and who I trust my life with. Although I do owe you a thank you for your self restraint any other Romulan would have plunged a honor blade in my chest and wiped the blood off on dead body. Also I think I'm going to eat chicken tonight" <Tag Hope>
Looking at Commander Jackson " I also would like to say I'm sorry as well did not mean to be so short as i stated earlyer Roberts is my friend one of the few people on this ship who I trust with my life. Call me a little over protective if you want this is not to say he can't handle himself. I just dont like to see him troubled thats all, I'ev lost to many people lately and I'm a little edge for it. I hope that this will not become a problem in the futer" <Tag jackson>
Looking back over at Roberts " Well my friend been back just under a hour and already I'm causing problems again. Seems like old time already but just so you know I meant every word my old friend you are one of the few I do trust no matter what. I didn't mean to bring this out but I was just a little worried thats all." <Tag Roberts>
" I still need to change and we do have a meeting to go to as well, not to mention the grand tour of the ship. I will not take long I promise just need to change uniforms and I'll be ready"
Walking into his quarters he wondered if this was a mistake had he been with black ops to long. He meant every word of what he said but he was short and very agressive it worried him alittle. These were great skills if your blacks ops but not if you want to be a star Fleet officer. Maybe thats what the General was counting on for him to give up and come back.

John gave a simple smile, although he did feel the same with Wolf, besides himself and Savot, there was no one else at this Moment in time he trusted as much as those two officers, with Zimmerman gone, at least for the time being, things no longer felt the same around here, but he knew this happened, nothing lasts forever at the end of the day, and he had to move with the times and get to know the new batch of senior officers that had come through.
He watched as Wolf walked into his quarters, he could sense there was a little ill felling toward him, and felt there may be some ill feeling from some of the officers stood before him, "pleas excuse me a moment, I would like a moment to talk to wolf about something he said back, there" John said, leaving it at that, as what he wanted to say to wolf didn't concern the rest of the people stood before him, it was, and he hoped would remain a private matter, even though there was nothing wrong in not trusting people he had only just met 100% yet, yet he was sure each one of them where fine officers.
Turning, he pressed the door chime to Wolf's quarters, and waited for the signal to enter.
