Elron watched as Bethany passed him on the way out of Sickbay. He tried to give her a smile but was unable to catch her attention before she passed. It looked like she had something on her mind. Once inside, he saw no sign of the Doctor in the main ward so he walked over to the office. This time he was successful.
"Hello Admiral, how are you today? I was just coming to see you," the Doctor chirped cheerily.
"Well I've saved you a house-call then, haven't I," Elron replied brightly. "I'm very well today. Nowhere near as tired and hungry as I have been."
"Good, good!" nodded John as he completed the medical log for Ensign Hill. "Mind if I give you a quick check over?" he asked, looking up.
"Well, no. Just so long as it's quck." They moved through to the other room and Elron sat down on the nearest bed. As Doctor Storey checked his pupil reactions, blood pressure and pulse rate, Elron explained about the proposed sporting events.
"That sounds like a good idea to me. It'll give us all some proper excercise. T'Caph was telling me only yesterday that I should try new ways of relaxing, so I'm sure this would make her happy."
"As happy as a Vulcan can be," said Elron genially. "Computer, time please," he said raising his voice. The time is 9:15 am replied the computer apathetically. "I'd better make sure we're cleared and ready for docking at the outpost. We should be there within the hour. Come and find me once you're aboard the outpost. You can tell me what you plan to do with your shore-leave."
"Aye, sir. Until then..."
With a quick smile, Elron made straight for the nearest turbolift and, ultimately, the bridge.

[ OFF JP with Bethany, good job Ensign ] [ ON ] Crewman : We need help down here !
T`Caph looked down from the catwalk and saw Ensign Hill sitting on the floor with two crewmembers supporting her. She quickly joined them and realised there was something going on with the triplets the Ensign was carrying
T`Caph : Ensign Hill, when are they due ?
Bethany:Not for two months.
T`Caph : =/\= Medical Emergency in engineering, Doctor Storey respond =/\= Storey : =/\= What is the emergency =/\=
T`Caph : Ensign Hill appears to be in labour =/\= Storey : =/\= Understood, I`m on my way =/\=
Crewman : What can we do ?
T`Caph : Nothing - the doctor will be here soon. I will stay with her until he arrives
Bethany let out a groan and beads of sweat formed on her face.
Bethany : Would you please! not surround me, and help me sit in a chair.
T`Caph : Of course.
She motioned to one of her staff who brought a chair immediately and the two helped Bethany on to it. Her physical discomfort was obvious to T`Caph, but Bethany was determined to keep her composure
Bethany : Thank you, What is taking the Doctor so long, if he doesn't come in the next ten seconds im going to go find him and rip his head off.
The doors whooshed open and Storey swept in, med kit in hand.
T`Caph : Most timely Doctor !
Storey : When did the pains start ?
Bethany : 10 minutes ago. Storey was taking readings on his medical tricorder, making the usual annoying " hmmm " sounds that Doctors so often do when the patient would rather be told what was happening !
Bethany : Would you please tell me what is happening, if you don't' I'm gonna RIP YOUR HEAD OFF! T`Caph : I believe she is sincere Doctor
Storey : Young lady there is no need to take that tone. Calm down. You are not doing yourself or the babies any good !
Bethany : Oh don't tell me that. DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bethany groaned again as a contraction ripped through her. She grabbed the doctors coat and was about to say something when the doctors face took on a deep frown Storey : Ensign, I must take you to sickbay immediately but please dont worry, everything will be just fine
T`Caph looked at him and noted his external expression did not match his voice. Something was very wrong...
Bethany : THANK YOU!!!!
Storey : Your assistance please Lieutenant
T`Caph : Of course doctor. Perhaps using the transporter would be the wisest course ? Storey : No, that is not suitable in this case. No time to explain The two carefully lifted Bethany from the chair and supported her as they walked slowly out of engineering and to the turbolift
Bethany : UGGG. I'm gonna rip your head off.
Storey : Later Ensign, later.
Bethany : And there is nothing you can do about it.
The lift took them quickly to their destination. As they entered sickbay, Storey activated the EMH and fired off a series of orders. He and T`Caph gently laid Bethany on a biobed Bethany : `bout time.
Storey : Ensign, I want you to relax, this will help
Bethany : Oh don't tell me to relax!
He administered a hypo before Bethany could respond again, and within moments she was unconcious
T`Caph : Doctor ? Storey : There are...complications. Thank you for your help. I will take it from here.
T`Caph : Keep me posted Doctor
Storey : Yes yes, now go, let me do my job....

"Yes yes, now go, let me do my job...." John said in a hurry, T'Caph rushed out, with that vulcan look on her face.
Holi was standing over Bethany, reading her vital signs. John shes fading fast "We need to do a womb transport" But John thats very dangerous "I know, but if we don't she'll die! We need to do it NOW! Bring the baby beds" Aye Sir
Holi rushed and brought back three children beds, for the babies. "Right Holi, prepare an anti-rhesus for the young, and inform Admiral Elron, when the babies are delived" Sir
"Computer preapre for womb transportation, Patient Bethany Hill, triplets" *Bleep*
John walked over to the console and pressed the buttons "Initiating Transport"
The was a hum and the hairs on John's neck stood on end, the babies appeared, VITAL SIGNS CRITICAL! "Nearly there...come on...come on....THERE!" The children appeared, and John took his Tricorder and scanned them, Healthy as Horse they were. CARDIAC FAILURE!! "Coming, prepare a Cardaic stimulator, and Nurse Williams, look after those babies please" Cardiac Stimulator ready "100 joules, now"
Bethany's body jumped and nothing happened "150 joules...NOW!" Bethany's body jumped and he heart was restarted, "phew, Holi please ask admiral elron to come down here, i will wake Ensign Hill"
John walked over to the hypospray and loaded a stimulant, he pressed it against Bethany's neck and pressed, he heard a hiss and Bethany's eyes started to flicker open.
"Doctor? What's happened?" "We had to do a womb transport Bethany, your children are healthy, and so will you after 3 days of bed rest in sickbay, sorry Ensign" "Thank you Doctor" Tears were welling up in her eyes, and John walked into his office "Sorry for shouting at you Holi, is Elron on his way?" Yes John, and it's ok
Admiral Elron walked in, "Admiral, we have three new crewman on board"
John and Admiral Elron, walked over to Bethany, she was crying and she was holding her three new children
John smiled. He was very pleased with himself, after all it was his first delivery.
<TAG: Elron, and Bethany>
OFF: Congrats Bethany, it was my first time delivering children. Congrats once more!

John finished his entry into Ensign Hill's medical file. He walked out and sat next to her, "Bethany, how are you feeling?" "I feel tired, and oh by the way I'm sorry I said I was going to rip your head off. I didn't mean it." "I know you were really agitated, thats okay, have you decided on the names?" "Yes I have. Westly, T'lara, and Julieanna." "Nice names" "Thank you" "Now, tell me a bit about yourself" "When can I leave this god for saken place? I was raised on earth. My father left my mom and I before I was born." "This god for saken place being sickbay?" John chuckled "yes, That is what I said isn't it?" "You need three days rest before i allow you back on duty, but after that i will be cutting your duty shifts in half!" "But....?" "No buts, your welfare comes first, and so does your children, i am sure Admiral Elron will understand" "why are you going to do that?" "your welfare comes first, so does our children. It will only be for a few months" "ok do you volunteer to be a baby sitter?" "No, i am afriad not" John said sternly, "My duties are to keeping this crew ship shape" "when you are off duty" "I am NEVER off duty"
John got up and walked to cabinet, where his Tricorder was kept, he picked it up, and pulled the scanner out. He ran the scanner across Bethany, "Yes you will be fine, i am sorry but i need to finished my reports before my duty ends in about 10 minutes, its been lovely talking to you Bethany, i hope we can do this again sometime, meanwhile Holi will look after you...Computer Activate EMH"
Holi appeared and strolled over to Bethany Hello Ensign, how are you? "I am fine thank you, a bit tired though" Do not worry, i will be here if you need anything just get some rest she said reassuringly and smiled.
John walked into his office andstarted to write his reports and complete his logs for the day. "Computer Start Recording" *Bleep* Chief Medical Officer's Log
Ensign Bethany Hill has given birth to three healthy children, however i am worried about her mental stabability. I have given her three days rest in sickbay and haved halfed her duty shifts.
I am postive she'll recover.
"Computer End rcording"
OFF: Most of this is a joint post by me and Bethany.

<OFF> I dont know how the rest of this current storyline is going to play out, but if I might suggest maybe using Holi and her holo-emitter as a baby sitter. Her chief operation will still be EMH, but this will also open some other ideas for people to work with. Before most of you joined the ship I did a program overlay on Holi that allows her to do almost anything imaginable then later gave her the emitter to open even more possibilites. Keep up the great work. Love the way the crew is working together on the stories.

[ OFF Excellent suggestion Disasterman, that would be ideal to enable Bethany to carry out her duties without having to worry about a babysitter of high calibre ! ]
[ ON ]
T`Caph made her way back to engineering. Ensign Hill was in the right place. It was a concern that she had gone in to labour early and her condition did not look good when T`Caph left sickbay.
T`Caph : =/\= Doctor, how is Ensign Hill ? =/\=
Storey : =/\= Tired. She has three healthy babies, with very strong lungs ! The Ensign will be fine =/\=
T`Caph : =/\= Thank you doctor =/\=
She picked up the PADDs on her desk and began to check them.
Sarwan : Commander, am I...um..interupting ?
T`Caph : Not at all Ensign. How may I help ?
Sarwan : Oh its not a problem, I..er...could you...look at these ideas for the crew ?
Sarwan handed a PADD to T`Caph. It listed some itineraries for crew entertainment. The idea looked very well thought out indeed.
T`Caph : Well done. Implement these for suitable dates. I wish you to make an addition to the list - Admiral Elron is organising a sporting event for when we reach our destination. I would like you to see if he requires assistance with the planning.........Ensign ?
Sarwan :: blushing considerably :: I...er....mmmm...of course....yes...I....
T`Caph : Thank you Ensign. Dismissed
T`Caph watched Sarwan walk away, and she seemed to be muttering to herself, shaking her head slightly. Perhaps the Ensign felt intimidated by the Admiral ? Or perhaps not, thought T`Caph. Sarwan flushed at the mention of the Admirals name. Unless she was unwell ? The Vulcan resolved to keep an eye on Sarwan in case she needed the doctor....
The upgrades were going well up on the catwalk, it would be time to test them out before long. Perhaps when they reached the Starbase would be best. It was logical to do such things when not in a vulnerable area of space, not that any problems were anticipated of course.
T`Caph walked over to the crew members who had assisted Bethany earlier on, and gave them the news that the offspring had been safely delivered. It was decided celebratory drinks would be in order after their shift.
Crewman : May I make a suggestion ?
T`Caph : Of course
Crewman : A baby shower - a little late as they have already been born, but on Earth it is a custom to have a party and give presents for the child - or children in this case. Ensign Hill is new to the ship, so it would be a nice way for her to meet everyone don`t you think ?
T`Caph : An excellent idea. I will instruct Sarwan to make it a priority for as soon as Ensign Hill is up and about. Well done.
She looked around engineering. Were T`Caph to allow and acknowledge feelings, at this moment they would be of pride in her staff. They really were like a family. Bethany and her children were like honorary members of the engineering staff`s family, simply because they had met her briefly and the offspring almost made their entrance right there. Perhaps they would become engineers - they could say they were born to it.
T`Caph tilted her head and considered what she had just thought. Clearly she had spent too much time around humans - she was having thoughts like they would. Perhaps some meditation was in order !

Post by Elron on Aug 10, 2004 17:56:29 GMT
OFF: Excellent posts people! We're really starting to form a close-knit crew here. Sorry I haven't contributed in the last few days - the weather is horrible and I didn't fancy making the journey into uni to get online, lol. ;D ON: <set at time of John's post at top of page> Admiral Elron stood in the middle of Sickbay, smiling broadly. "Admiral, we have three new crewman on board," said Doctor Storey proudly. John and Elron walked over to Bethany, who was crying and holding her three new children close to her chest. "Congratulations, Ensign!" the Admiral said enthusiastically. These were the first children to be born on the Black Tulip. In fact, they were the first children to be on the Tulip at all for a long time. The ship had been on so many covert operations recently that families had been withdrawn from the ship's personnel. Now that the ship was returning to Federation space, though, there was no reason why they shouldn't be permitted to stay on board. Elron would make sure of that! Before the Admiral could say any more to the young Ensign, there was a call from the bridge. =/\=Bridge to Admiral Elron, we are approaching Outpost 329. We have received docking clearance.=/\=Elron tapped his commbadge in acknowledgement. "I'll be there in a moment. Elron out.
"Ensign, Doctor, if you'll both excuse me please.""Of course, Admiral" nodded John. "Make sure you get plenty of rest!" he said sternly to Bethany. "We have plenty of people who can cover your shifts until you're back to full strength, so I don't want you to rush things.""I'll make sure she doesn't," agreed John, folding his arms in resolution.

"Bring her in nice and slowly, Cmdr," Elron urged Bema patiently, although the CNO knew exactly what he was doing anyway. "Aye, sir. Moving within range of the docking clamps. Docking system has been automatically initiated." Outpost 329 was a relatively small station and wasn't equipped with a tractor beam for use during docking large ships.
"Approaching all stop... clamps engaging... docking complete." "Excellent!" Elron tapped the control panel at the side of his chair and instructed the relevant officers to begin organising personnel transfers to the outpost. Although they were running on a reduced crew, they still had over 400 people who wanted to board the station. Without some kind of system, the poor outpost would be invaded en-masse.
"Well everyone," Elron addressed the bridge, "once your stations and departments are ready, you may consider your shift ended and take your shore-leave as you wish."
Several officers left the bridge to check on their departments, eager for some relaxation.

T`Caph : As you all know, you are to get shore leave but we have been asked to utilise a rotation due to the numbers on board. Please submit your preferences while I check through all your latest systems checks. Thank you all :: nodding to the engineering staff ::
Ensign Sarwan was on her way to report to the Admiral to assist with the sporting event he is putting together, and T`Caph had decided the Ensign had earned first choice of leave schedule and the rest would be accomodated as near to their preferences as possible. There was a buzz in the air as the staff excitedly put their report PADDs on T`Caphs desk then chattered amongst themselves about how they hoped to spend their free time. They had all worked most efficiently and deserved to relax. Space exploration had many unforeseen risks yet each and every member of the crew were ready to face whatever came their way so it was only right they enjoy some leave while the opportunity was there.
T`Caph had decided she would be spending much of her time staying on board however, particularly as the upgrades were almost ready for testing. though she would make herself available for the sports of course. She had realised that, while Vulcans did not " need " leave the same way as other races, as simple meditation sufficed to reinvigorate the mind, being part of a crew meant sharing in their relaxation as well as their duties.
Within half an hour, all the checks were completed, a flustered looking Ensign Sarwan had returned, and the roster was organised.
T`Caph : All engineering hands, you may now commence as per your roster shifts. Enjoy your leave but while you do, please remember that you are representatives of the USS Black Tulip at all times, and therefore I trust you will behave accordingly when on the star base. Dismissed !

John went about his normal business. PADD's there, Clearing here, Bacterial samples to go into storage.
John walked out into sickbay and clapped his hands twice, and spoke in a relatively normal voice "Allright everyone, you have been great! Now its time for shoreleave, you are free to leave when you have finished your duties and have come to me, is that understood" Everyone nodded and John was satisfied that his sickbay would be soon back to normal.
He walked into his office, and picked up the PADD for Admiral Elron. He tucked it under his arm and picked up his tea, and headed towards the door, "Holi, sickbay is all yours" he yelled as he walked out.
"Deck 1, Bridge" he said as he enetered, it sped upwards, and shuddered to a stop "I'll tell T'Caph about that i think"
Elron was sitting in his chair looking at the viewscreen, John walked over "Anything interesting sir?" he asked, trying to hold back a laugh. Elron looked around "Oh Doctor, i am sorry, i was thinking" "No Problem, here is the report you requested, i am sure you'll find everything in order sir" He looked at the PADD.

OOC< Just so everybody knows, this post takes place way back in the mission to clear up a mistake made by a poster. I was on the Sirius when I was originally called to sickbay, by Ensign Storey, and this post it here to clear up how I got back to the Tulip, I know it was confusing for me reading through the posts wondering why I was in two places at once. so here it is.>
IC
Cmdr. Gauthier's Ready Room, USS Sirius, before Admiral Elron's Infection
Cmdr Gauthier - "The Sirius had has running patrols of Lambda Sector now for 3 days, and still we've found no sign of the supposed Romulan-Borg threat.I'm begining to wonder if this is just a hoax. "
Adm. Elron - "Well to tell you the truth, SFI's starting to wonder themselfs. You've found no traces of the Hybrids?"
Gauthier - "None sir, no ships, no outposts, not even a sensor ghost. there is nothing out here."
Elron's image of curiousity faded to that of frustration.
"hmm...... I'm pulling the Sirius out of Lambda Sector give command to your XO and return to the Tulip. I'd rather have you onboard incase something really big happens. You never know."
"Where is the Tulip now?"
"We'll be in sector 787 in 5 hours, can you meet us there?
"Yes Sir"
"Very well then, 5 hours. Elron out"
The usual 'End Transmission' Screen popped up after Elron's face faded. Robert turned the screen off and it retreated into his desk. He got up and glanced out the window before going to the bridge.
"Lieutenant, set course 212.334 Sector 787."
"Aye sir course layed in"
"Engage, Warp Factor 7"
The Helm Officer keyed her panel and the Sirius jumped to warp.
5 1/2 hours later, Sector 787, Transporter Room 1, USS Sirius
"Lieutenant, Admiral Elron will contact you with your orders and a set of command codes. I wish you the best of luck."
"Thank you sir, goodbye"
The Lieutenant moved to the transporter panel and beamed Robert to the Black Tulip.
3 Hours Later, Cmdr. Gauthier's quarters, USS Black Tulip
Robert awoke to a comm chanel chirping and Dr. Storey's voice
=/\= Cmdr. Gauthier, Report to Sickbay=/\=
;OFF;
kinda short, but it does the trick

OFF: Neatly tied up, Rob. Just so everyone knows, Cmdr Gauthier will be returning to the Black Tulip as First Officer. You can join us anytime you like while we're on shore-leave. I also hope that Cmdr Disasterman will be able to join us, though he may prefer to wait for our mission to start, knowing him. ;D
ON:"Yes, everything seems to be as it should be, Ensign. You may tell your staff to enjoy their shore-leave, but I want all of them on-call just in case we have any accidents. I'd rather not put undue pressure on the outpost's medical staff. Perhaps you should work out some kind of schedule for that too, just so that they have time to relax without worrying about being called in." Elron smiled at the Doctor, knowing that he should have given him a bit more warning about this, but John just smiled back and nodded. "Aye, sir. That makes sense. I'll sort it out right away." One by one the bridge crew were disappearnig and Elron decided to continue his musings in his Ready Room. He still had a lot to figure out for this sporting event...

Engineering was very quiet now that many of the staff were on the station enjoying well earned leave. T`Caph decided to start on a few systems upgrades rightaway. There was no apparent need for high security at this time, so perhaps internal sensors and the comms system would be appropriate now, especially with so many crew off the ship, as the comms were at their lowest usage.
T`Caph : =/\= Admiral, Engineering here. I am going to be working on some systems including comms and internal sensors. Request permission to take sensors offline, and to shut down all non-essential comm channels =/\=
Elron : =/\= Permission granted - provided you will be taking some leave at some point....=/\=
T`Caph : =/\= Understood Sir =/\=
One by one, she isolated and closed the comms leaving only those activated which were priority - security, sickbay, bridge, ops etc, and then, after running a final sweep, took all internal sensors offline.
Some time later, she realised she had not eaten for 24 hours. She replicated a simple light vegetarian dish and sat at her desk, checking through PADDs while picking at her meal.
Ops : =/\= Ops to engineering, we have had a message from the station, but are unable to run a sensor sweep to check things out - whats going on ?=/\=
T`Caph :=/\= Internal sensors are offline for maintainance and upgrade. What is the problem ?=/\=
Ops gave her the details and T`Caph explained that sensors would be offline for some considerable time but assured them she would personally relay the details to the Admiral immediately.
T`Caph : =/\= Admiral, we have a situation. Transmitting comms message from the station to you now. I must apologise for the timing of the maintanance work which will hamper resolving this unexpected and unusual problem....=/\=

<1 hour ago, Bridge USS Black Tulip>
Robert moved to his chair, Admiral Elron sat beside him, working on a report for Section Command. Robert leaned in a little closer from his chair so only he and Admiral Elron could hear their conversation.
Robert: "Sir, I was wondering if I could borrow a shuttle for a few days?"
With out even looking up from his report Elron voiced a sturn "Why?"
Robert:" Well sir seeing as you have assigned me shore leave I thought I'd like to visit Starbase Bellicose, an old friend of mine's ship is docked there, she too is an XO and we don't get much time to see each other, and seeing as we're going to be here in dock for a week, I was hoping I wouldn't be missed"
Elron looked up, a tough but curious look on his face "How long would this journey keep you away?"
"2 maybe 3 days at the most." Robert said with a hopeful smile.
"Alright 3 days, I believe the Runabout Insert is all that's left."
Robert looked at Elron with a devilish grin and said "What about the Captain's Yaucht ?"
The look Elron gave his Number One could have turned Anti-matter into Ice. Words were not needed
"Just joking sir, just joking, the Insert will be fine" Robert stood up. "thank you sir, I will see you in 3 days
"dismissed commander, have fun"
with his freedom in place the commander walked off the bridge, and took a turbolift to his quarters.
<65 minutes later, Runabout USS Insert, en route to Starbase Bellicose>
'Personal log. Cmdr. Robert Gauthier, Stardate 900825.65. I am currently on my way to Starbase Bellicose, going to meet up with Liz, an old friend from command school, among other places. She's currently first officer of the Zukov-A a Nebula class ship. We always were competative, but I'm happy to say I finally beat her at something, she's only a Lt. Cmdr at the moment. *laugh, laugh*
:Beep, Beep: 'Incoming Transmission from USS Black Tulip'
"strike last sentence from log and end personal log"
Robert pressed a button on the Runabout's main panel and Admiral Elron's image poped up on screen
"Commander, I'm afraid I have to cut your shore leave, we have a situation here and you are needed, return to the Tulip, maximum warp"
the Admiral's image disappeared and Robert assumed it was a recorded message that the Admiral had sent, must mean that something big was up. pressing a few more buttons at the helm the runabout turned 180 degrees and headed back toward the Tulip as fast as the little ship could go. Robert again moved his hand to the comm panel trying to think of what he'd tell Liz.

"Acknowledged, T'Caph. I'll take the message here on the bridge."As T'Caph transferred the transmission, the face of the station's security chief appeared on the large viewscreen. "Admiral Elron, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. I'm Commander Packard and I'm in charge of security on Outpost 329.""What seems to be the problem, Commander?" Elron asked him with a concerned frown. "Don't worry - it's nothing to do with your crew. I was actually wondering if you could help us solve a problem we have here...""Well of course, Commander, how can we be of assistance?"Packard paused here, as if wondering how to phrase his next words. "Some of the personnel on this station are civilians who run local businesses to service and entertain the assigned staff. One of these is a small catering business run by a family, a husband and wife with their young son. The parents of this boy have recently reported him missing, and we have reason to believe he may have tried to get aboard your ship.""When was the last time the boy was seen?""Well, his parents have been so busy catering for the increased numbers over here that they haven't seen him since this morning. Reports claim he was last seen on the docking ring around 1340."That was 3 hours ago Elron thought to himself. The boy could be anywhere by now. "I'll get my Chief of Security right on it. I'm afraid the timing isn't very good as our internal sensors are offline for maintenance. I don't expect them to be available again for quite some time. If he is on the ship though, we'll find him.""Thankyou Admiral Elron. The parents are most upset, so any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.""Incidentally, Commander, how old is this boy?"Cmdr Packard checked his notes. "He's just turned 11 years old.""I'll contact you personally the minute we know anything. Elron out."The Commander smiled and disappeared from the viewscreen. Elron decided to inform Beth straight away. "Elron to security, there's something I need you to do for me..."OFF: Rob, the day I let someone else fly the Captain's Yacht is the day I've been forcibly retired! I consider the Socrates my own personal property! ;D Unless you have an emergency of your own planned, you may continue your journey to Bellicose. This is something the security department can handle by itself.

2003hrs, En route to USS Black Tulip, onboard Runabout USS Insert
The ship crused smoothly on it's way home. Robert had set the ship to autopilot, and gone to the rear compartment for a bite to eat. After his message from the Admiral, he had contacted Liz, as it had turned out, she wasn't going to be at Spacedock eather, her ship was called out on an emergency mission, nothing more was said. Robert also thought back to about 15 minutes ago. Admiral Elron had again contacted him......
"Commander, it turns out we won't be needing you here after all, it's nothing that Ensign Hill can't handle"
His own reply just as laid back "It's alright sir, I had to return to the Tulip anyways, Liz's ship was called out on a mission, about 2 hours ago."
"That's too bad, what's your ETA?"
" I'll be back tomorrow, I'm taking the ship the senic route, there's a small trading station,in sector K-223, 0.3 light years from my current position, I'm hoping to find something interesting"
Admiral Elron smiled " Alright then Commander, enjoy the trip back, and don't forget to bring me a souviner"
" aye sir, Gauthier out."
suddenly Robert was snapped back to the present by the sound of a comm alarm. Robert moved to the foward section and took his seat. He tapped the panel
'Incoming distress call, USS Zukov'
Robert played the message to see Liz's face on the screen, her hair displaced from it's usual uniformity, and a small cut above her eye, the ship's bridge dark and damaged. Robert wondered what could do that to a Nebula Class Ship.
"This is the Federation Starship Zukov, requesting any vessel's assistance, we have been attacked by an unidentified ship and have sustained heavy damage. Please respond and assist us."
The message replayed, Robert hoped that was because there attention was elsewhere at the moment.
"Computer plot an intercept course with the Zukov, warp 6."
The ship changed course and moved to maximum warp, in the mean time Robert armed the ship for battle, the cabin lights faided and began to glow red.
10 minutes later
The Insert dropped to impulse and moved toward the now adrift Zukov, Robert sat there in shock praying that Liz was still alive.
" Computer scan the Zukov, and dictate findings"
within second the computer read off it's report
'USS Zukov, main power offline, life support at 2 percent, hull integrity 27 percent. Warp Core has been ejected. multipal hull breaches. 17 Life boats have been launched'
" Scan for the ion signitures of the escape pods"
'life boats detected, 300,000,000 km bearing 012 . 098'
Robert moved the Insert to the pods as quick as he could and began beaming survivors, the last one on. Liz. seeing her he jumped to the transporter pad and hugged her immeadley
"are you alright?"
Liz still a bit disoriented replyed "yeah, I think so.....is this all that got off the Zukov?"
"I'm afraid so"
Letting go of Liz, Robert looked around the cabin, the 6 cabin chairs were occupied by the few uninjured persons. they had taken the Conn for Robert and were searching the area for more survivors. Robert walked to the rear sleeping compartment, guiding a few of the more injured crew members as he went. Liz had stayed in the Cabin to help with the search.
" computer is the Insert equiped with a EMH?"
' Affemative, an EMH mark III is installed in the Insert's databanks, holo emiters are also installed throught the Runabout'
"a simple yes would have also worked" Robert grumbled below his breath " Computer activate the EMH"
The EMH flashed to life, "Please state the nature...." Robert interupted him, "these people need your help, the only medical supplies we have are in that cabinet along with a medical tricorder. I have to go to the front section at the moment, if you need any assistance call. ok?
The EMH nodded and proceeded to work. Robert moved to the front cabin and kicked a young ensign from one of the rear stations. " Computer, Open a priority One channel to the USS Black Tulip, Admiral Elron."

Bema materialized with Katherine and Jaclyn in the Black Tulip Transporter Room. "Welcome back Commander Saberwyn how was your honeymoon?" asked the transporter chief. "It was fine we just got back from Falcolvia. Where is Admiral Elron?" Bema asked. As soon as he got his answer he sent Kate to their quarters to rest he and Jaci headed for the bridge. Once there he saw Elron talking to a young Vulcan woman standing where Tahl had once stood at his post. He was suprised that their new CTSO was at least part Vulcan. He was brought out of his contemplations by James Brewster who was sitting at the navigations post. "When did you get back?" he asked as he startled everyone on the bridge including Elron. "I got back just now. Resume your duties and I will return to relieve you after I talk to the Admiral," Bema replied. James replied with a nod then he complied leaving with Jaclyn. Bema strode up to his Commanding Officer. "Welcome back Bema how was the honeymoon?" Elron asked with a smile. "It was incredible. Falcolvia is a beautiful planet," Bema replied with a smile. "Oh Lieutenant Commander Bema Saberwyn meet our new Security and Tacticle Chief Ensign Bethany Hill. Ensign this is our Chief Navigations Officer Lieutenant Commander Bema Saberwyn," Elron said as the two officers extended their hands. "You're Vulcan aren't you?" Bema asked cautiousiouly not sure if she would take the question personaly. "I am half Vulcan actually. Do you know many Vulcans?" she asked sounding cautious herself. "I am related to some Vulcans and my best friend was a Vuncan. In fact he was the our last CTSO," Bema said sounding sad as he remembered Tahl's last words. The ensign seemed currious as to the comment. "What happened to him?" she asked sounding more cautious than before. Elron left to return to his Command Chair. "He died in the line of duty. At the start of the last mission we got hit bad and he died as a result," Bema said wincing at the memory. Bethany must have sensed the pain because she resumed doing what she had been ordered to by Elron. Bema walked off the bridge and headed for his quarters that is until he ran smack dab into a young Vulcan woman dressed similary to Bethany. "You must be the famous Bema Saberwyn everyone has been talking about," she said smugly. Bema was taken aback at the comment. "Yes I am. How did I get famous?" Bema asked. "For more than three weeks alot of Junior crew have said wait until you meet Bema Saberwyn," she said with an obvious bluntness.

Jonas : =/\= Ensign Jonas to engineering, there is a strange sound near my quarters, sounds like its in a jeffries tube ? =/\=
T`Caph : =/\= Acknowledged =/\=
T`Caph noted the location of the Ensigns quarters, and made her way there. Tricorder scans showed nothing untoward, but it was best to have a look anyway. She entered the jeffries tube and went along slowly, looking for anything which could account for unexplained noises but there seemed to be no reason. Ah, then she spotted something.... A piece of cloth. It was stained with something dark. Blood ? She scanned it and found, thankfully, it was juice from some fruit. The crew were not permitted to eat here of all places, so that led her to surmise....
T`Caph : =/\= Security, I believe our young stowaway has been at my present location. Please meet me here as soon as possible. =/\=
Bethany : =/\= On my way =/\=
T`Caph took some further readings to see where the young boy had headed and awaited Bethany`s arrival
