Mc7 was one of the first officers to leave the Blair once it had successfully docked at Bellicose. This was done so he could report to the head of the second fleet, Admiral Elron. Elron was an old friend of Mc7's, but the loss of a starship was a serious issue, which generally ended up in a Court Martial in order to establish the facts of the situation. Before leaving the Blair, Mc7 had ordered all of the former Raven's crew to take a period of shore leave. The last mission had taken a huge toll on all of the crew, both physically and emotionally, and time would needed in order for those wounds to begin to heal. Arriving at Admiral Elron's office, he sounded the chime to let him know he was there. Te doors parted, and Mc7 passed through them into the small ante-room just outside of the Admirals office. ~~~~Five hours later~~~~Having left Elron's office, Mc7 contacted Carl and asked him to round up the Senior Staff of the Raven for dinner tonight. Elron had passed on some information which he thought the rest of the Senior Staff would like to know about their future together as a crew. With that dinner, Mc7 decided he would use the few hours before dinner to make use of the gym aboard the Starbase. He was starting to get out of shape, and the last mission proved just how important it was that he make sure this didn't happen. OOC: Ok people, let's have some R&R before we meet our new ship! See you all @ dinner!

Mc headed toward the turbo-lift, then had a thought .. He hit the Comms button and invited all the Raven crew to dinner on the base .. Grinning at the Vulcan Captain, he then nodded to Torek before stepping into the lift on his way to a meeting with the Second fleets' commanding Officer ..
Once the Admiral had left the Blair, Carl made sure, without rushing, and to the annoyance of Captain K'Veer, that all the Raven's crew got off the ship ...
As he headed for the turbo-lift, he turned and asked K'Veer a question ..
"Captain .. Just tell me one thing .. Was Captain James the cause of all this ?"
"That .. Commander .. Is none of your concern .. Good day Mister Torek." she said, a look that defied Carl to respond ..
Shrugging, not really expecting an answer, he entered the 'lift ..
Reaching deck two, he entered the transporter room, and wth a last look back, he de-materialized .... Seconds later, appearing on the Star base and ready for some well earned leave .. Not that he would rest. He was anxious to know what ship had been chosen as the Raven-A's replacement .. To be honest, he was hoping for the Galaxy class, but the final decision would be down to Star Fleet, and of course, which vessel was closest to completion ..
Getting quarters allocated took him only moments .. He checked that all the crew had been dealt with, then looked up the crew allocations .. He had been informed that they were to get a new Medical Officer, and a Councellor while here .. He looked at their service records briefly, but couldn't concentrate on what he was reading .. So he decided to take a walk around the base ..
He idly wondered what the two newcomers would make of the Ravens crew arriving, without the Raven ..........

Joan loved life out at space and was now sick of the Base. She had been waiting for three weeks cooling her heels while the Raven was out on some mission. She had cursed her timing knowing she would be bored while on the Base - something that definately wasn't proven wrong.
The young woman had decided to get some jogging before heading for the shower and then to see if the ship had arrived. She sighed and placed her headphones on turning on some great classical composition.
She had been running for about twenty minutes and had easily dodged anything in her path until now. She was about to go around an officer when some guy decided to carry some gel packs on the other side walking toward her. She sighed and slowed down not seeing the man in the middle of the two. She clobbered him and good. The young lady pulled off her headphones, which were not blaring, and turned off her music. She noticed his rank.
"Sorry, Commander, I didn't mean to clobber you. Didn't see you. Nothing broken or needing repair I hope? I hear the medical are good here, but I wouldn't want to test that out," she said and got to her feet giving him a hand.
"I'm Lieutenant Joan McCormick, and I don't usually run over people like that," she said in response to his question.

He didn't much like wandering round the Star base .. But it was preferable to sitting in the quarters he'd been allocated while awaiting the arrival of the new ship ..
Bellicose had several promenades, filled with shops and outlets supplying almost everything imaginable. He'd been wandering aimlessly for forty minutes, when he needed to slow for a couple in front of him. But the two suddenly parted, leaving Torek room to pass, it wasn't going to happen though, because as the couple moved, the gap was filled by a young woman in some sort of jogging suit ..
As Carl noticed her he tried to step aside, but she ran head-long into him, almost knocking them both to the ground .. After helping to get the woman off the floor, he straighted his shirt, then began to unnecessarily apologize ....
"Excuse me ......" he began.
"Sorry Commander .. I didn't mean to clobber you .. Didn't see you .. Nothing broken or needing repair I hope .. I hear the medical departments are good here .. But I wouldn't want to test that out."
Carl listened the the woman as she seemingly chattered on, wondering if she was going to come up for air anytime soon ..
"Nothings broken." he said, once he saw a gap in her chattering, "I'm sure I'll survive." he finished, smiling.
"I'm Lieutenant Joan McCormick .. Erm .. I don't usually run over people like that."
"Commander Torek .. Carl." he replied, taking the offered hand, "You are based on the station ?" he asked.
"No .. No." she said, straightening her hair, "I'm assigned as Chief Medical Officer on the Raven .. I'm waiting for her to return."
Carl was quiet for a moment, he would have thought news of the Raven would have filtered back to base personnel by now, but with Intelligence involved, he could imagine they would keep things close to their proverbial chests ..
"Ahh ......" he said, almost apologetically, "I'm afraid you might be waiting some time then ......" he said, then went on to explain the Raven's fate."
The Lieutenant was shocked, how come this sort of thing could happen ..
"So what are you going to do Commander .. Wait for a new posting ?" she said, hoping for good news, and she wasn't disappointed ..
"No .. We will be getting a replacement for the Raven .. The Raven-B should be here within weeks."
"Good !" Joan said, her face brightening once again, "I'd hate to think I'd lost my chance to serve on the Raven .. Be it 'A' or 'B' .. I've been looking forward to this posting for some time."
Neither had noticed that they were now walking along the promenade, Both seemed to be enjoying the conversation, and the company ..........

While the good news of a the ship came in she was a little saddened that she would be still on this base for awhile. At least now I might have some good company though. He seems nice. She thought as they walked.
"How long have you been stationed on the Raven?" she asked not sure of what else to say. She hoped no one would ask what her last assignment was. She hated lying about it, but knew it was necessary considering where she went and what happened. The youth tried to put it from her mind and concentrated on where they were going.
"Perhaps we should go for a drink?" she suggested.

*As Traks neared the airlock with an escort of two Klingon Warriors, pushing two cargo containers on an anti-grav pallet he was stopped by Capitan K'Veer*
K'Veer: Colonel what is in the containers?
Traks: Just my combat armor mam.
K'Veer: I must insist you open the containers.
Traks: Well you will have to convince these two Warriors of that as they are under orders from Genera Arok to take these sealed containers to my lab on the Mo'Bah and as only the General and I can open the seals together and he is not here.......
*With that K'Veer steeped back and allowed the trio to exit the Blair and headed for the other side of the station where the Mo'Bah was docked. As the trio neared the Mo'Bah they were meet by General Arok.*
Arok: Mr Traks here is your room assignment on the station and a message from your CO. Do you need help to get your toy to your cabin?
Traks: No sir and thanks for the help, If you will release your half of the seal then I will not detain you any longer.
Arok: No problem the Mo'Bah will be docked at the station for another 6 hours, I have had two barrels of blood wine delivered to your quarters for you to share with the crew of the Raven in the Christing of the Raven B. Qapla'
Traks: Qapla'
*Traks turned and made his way to his temporary quarters, where his next ones would be might be on the Raven B or in the Brig depending upon who carried the day in the review of the loss of the Raven A.*

Daniel was walking along the promenade when he noted the commander walking along the other side of the walk way, noting the colour of his uniform and his rank he guessed it would be Commander Torek, as Daniel had meet most of the other Commanders whilst waiting on the Base. ‘Well this should mean the Raven’s crew is back at last’.
Daniel was still annoyed by the rushed transfer from the Olympia to the Raven by Star Fleet Intelligence, it was rare for them to request transfers, but when they did, they happened immediately. Walking back to his quarters Daniel rummaged though the Padds that he had collected over the last few days hoping to read up on the entire crew of the ship, finding the Padd he wanted he began to re-read the orders he had been given.
TO: COUSELLOR DANIEL BIERS, USS OLYMPIA FROM: CAPTAIN K’VEER, STAR FLEET INTEL SUBJECT: REASSIGNMENT AND NEW ORDERS
COMMANDER BIERS, I WOULD LIKE FIRST TO REMIND YOU THAT THESE ORDERS ARE NOT TO BE REVEALED TO ANYONE EXPECT FOR ADMIRAL ELRON AND MYSELF. YOU ARE BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE RAVEN-B WHERE YOU WILL BEGIN A EVALUATION OF ALL SENIOR STAFF OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, THE PURPOSE OF THESE IS TO ENSURE THAT THE LOSE OF THEIR PREVIOUS SHIP WAS NOT BECAUSE OF ANY PHYCOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, AND THAT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP HAS NOT LEFT ANY PERMINANT MENTAL DAMAGE.
YOU FINDINGS SHOULD BE SENT IMMIDATELY TO BOTH MYSELF AND FLEET ADMIRAL ELRON.
--END OF MESSAGE—
Daniel never liked Star fleet intelligence they had no incline into the work of a counsellor, and he definitely did not like the idea of being this captain’s blood hound. Throwing the Padd back onto the table, Daniel quickly freshened up before going to one of the bars on the base hoping to bump into one of the Raven crew. Arriving Daniel immediately noted a Commander in Yellow at the bar speaking to the barmaid, walking over he heard her say the commander’s name ‘Marko, must be Commander Marko Ramius, the COO’ noting that he was still in civilian clothes Daniel made his way to the bar and took the seat next to the commander. “Are you by chance Commander Ramius of the Raven-A or should I say formally of the Raven-A?”
<Tag Marko>
“Ah excellent, my name is Commander 1st Class Daniel Biers, the Raven’s new Counsellor” Daniel knew this would undoubtedly make Marko nervous but it was better than keeping it quiet and then telling him another time.
<Tag Marko / Anyone else who wants a drink with the new counsellor>

He was really enjoying the walk, and the conversation .. It had been a long time since he felt as relaxed as he did now, and considering the circumstances of their arrival on Bellicose, he was surprised to say the least ..
"How long have you been stationed on the Raven ?" Joan asked as they walked ..
Carl began to tell her about his time on the Raven, glancing into a shop window here and there .. She noticed him looking into what looked like a quiet bar ..
"Perhaps we should go for a drink." she suggested .. But before he could reply, there was another voice ..
"Carl .. Carl Torek !"
Both Joan and Carl turned at the voice .. Joan had never seen the Captain before, though almost felt some kind of deja vu as she first saw him .. Carl though, obviously knew the man ..
"Kevin ! ... Kevin Taylor ..." Torek said, as both men greeted each other .. Hugging like only life-long friends can ..
"What are you .. Oh .." Carl said, apologetically, as he realized Joan was still watching the two, "Sorry .. Captain Kevin Taylor .. Lieutenant Joan McCormick .. She's our new Medical Officer."
"Nice to meet you Lieutenant .. Would you mind if I stole Carl for a few minutes .. I'm very short of time and need a word before I leave." Taylor asked ..
After a few seconds hesitation, her memory trying hard to think where she had seen the man before, she smiled, hiding her confusion ..
"Not at all Captain." she said, then smiled at Carl, "I'll be inside .. Anything in particular you would like ?"
"Erm .. Brandy please .." Torek said .. He was about to ask Kevin if he wanted to join them, but the look on his friend's face made it clear he didn't have the time, "I'll be with you in a moment Joan .." he finished ..
Both men were silent as she entered the bar .. Then Taylor took Carl's arm and edged him to one side ...
"I'm on my way back to Star Fleet headquarters." Taylor began, "Am I right in thinking you have a new Councellor .. Biers .. No it's OK I already know .. Listen .. I have to go but take this advice old friend .. Keep an eye on him .. I cant say more at the moment but watch out for him .. We'll grab a drink and catch up soon buddy."
Taylor didn't give Carl time to reply, but squeezing his friends shoulder, smiled and promised to get in touch when he was next in the area .. Carl didn't fail to notice that his friend gave Joan a long, puzzled look before walking away with a wave ...
Torek stared after his friend .. He couldn't help feeling that the meeting was 'anything' but coincidence .. Frowning, he glanced from the bar, to his friend, and back again. Before putting a smile on his face and going after the brandy he'd ordered ..
Joan too was frowning for a moment, until she saw Carl entering the bar .. She too, was a little puzzled, if not worried, about the sudden appearance of the Commanders 'old' friend .. But she grinned and held out the drink for Carl ..
"Bottoms up !" she said, smiling ..........

Joan knew who the man was, but she just couldn't place the Commander's friend. She kept trying until he waved at her and notced she was rejoined by the Commander. His name is Taylor. I know him, but how? Something to do with one of my missions I know that much. It will come to me, I just have to be patient. Enough about this though. She thought and smiled.
Not being of an age where she was allowed to drink she had ordered a strawberry daquiri without the alchol in it. She was enjoying her drink when he joined her. He too his and she realized they should do a toast or something. She said the first thing that came to mind.
They were silent for a few minutes after that. She wasn't sure what else to say just then, and suddenly something came to mind but she wasn't about to ask him about that sorta thing.
"So, Commander, what do you like to do for fun?"

Joan smiled and realized what was going on. She hadn't felt like this for awhile, and wondered if perhaps this was a bad thing to have a crush on someone she just met. She wondered what he would do if she suddenly started to flirt with him. She looked around the room.
"Do you always attract the attention of the women in the room?"

They had been talking for well over an hour, Carl was getting hungry, and thought they could move into the restaurant to grab something to eat ..
"Do you always attract the attention of the women in the room ?"
He was thrown by the comment, and wasn't quite sure how to reply. He had been career Star fleet since his enrollment, but suddenly there was someone who could take his mind off things. Allowing him to actually consider having a social life ..
He grinned sheepishly, embarrassed at her question .. Then noticed her frown as she looked over his shoulder. Torek turned to see what had attracted her attention, and came face to face with two Security Officers ..
"Gentlemen ?" Carl said.
"Commander Torek ?" one of the men asked.
"That's me yes .. What can I do for you ?"
"Sir .. We need you to come with us."
"What's all this about .. He's busy." Joan said, placing her petite frame between Carl and the two barely Security Staff ..
Carl took her arm, gently maneuvering her to one side as he too asked the question. "Well Lieutenant ?"
"Sir .. We have been asked to accompany you to Communications .. Admiral Mc7_of_9 and Admiral Elron wish to speak to you."
"And you couldn't simply contact me via the Comms .." Carl asked.
The two Officers remained silent at this question, but moved aside, obviously to allow Torek to go ahead of them .. Carl gave a little thought to actually refusing the 'invitation' but as it was obvious that he was needed, and it was important enough to have someone come to find him, he decided to go with them. He turned to Joan ..
"I'm sure this wont take too long .. I was going to suggest a bite to eat but it will have to wait."
"I'll come with you .. We can get som ......"
"I'm afraid that will not be possible Lieutenant." the lead Security Officer said, not leaving the subject open for debate.
"I'll contact you later .. OK." Carl said, touching Joan's shoulder for a second before heading toward the door ..
Joan frowned again, she was wondering why he needed to go, and what could be so important that he be escorted ..........

Marko had taken the opportunity to get off the Blair as quickly as possible, he didn’t like being crowded by Starfleet Intelligence Officers. Marko followed Mc onto the turbolift as they docked in Bellicose, the pair shared a short conversation and then parted ways once on Bellicose. Marko never even considered going to his personal quarters on the Blair as he had nothing personal there. Most of his personal effects and lucky charms had gone along with the Raven!
Marko made straight for the closest bar on the promenade, it had been a long hard mission and he just wanted to unwind. Reaching into his pocket, he clutched the padd that he had managed to download as much data from the Raven’s computer before its destruction. He smiled to himself, he’d been so immersed in the repairs of the Blair he had completely forgotten to review it. Setting himself down at the bar, Marko pulled over a bar stool and attracted the Barmaid’s attention.
“How can I help you?” The barmaid asked cheerily
“Scotch on the rocks.” Marko smiled back politely, he wasn’t much for small talk but he was always a sucker for a pretty face. Marko unbuttoned the top two buttons from his uniform, in order to feel like he wasn’t on duty.
“You just back from out there?” She asked pointing into the space outside the promenade window.
“Yes unfortunately, my ship was destroyed. I’m Marko by the way.” Marko replied smiling
“Marko, that’s a nice name. I’m Kate.” The barmaid replied…
Before Marko could continue his conversation, he heard a voice from behind him. “Are you by chance Commander Ramius of the Raven-A or should I say formally of the Raven-A?”
“Yes, I am. Who might you be?” Marko replied looking the tall man up and down, he was in civies but he could be Starfleet, Marko thought to himself.
“Ah excellent, my name is Commander 1st Class Daniel Biers, the Raven’s new Counsellor” Biers responded
“Pleasure to meet you Daniel, can I get you a drink? What brings you to the Raven? you realise our ship was destroyed on our last mission. It might be sometime before we’re free from drydock.” Marko enquired, he was slightly surprised to be approached by the new Counsellor and he was sure his every move was being watched and noted. From drinking some scotch to talking to the barmaid… or maybe Marko was just paranoid.

As they entered the turbo-lift, to travel to the uppermost levels of Bellicose, Carl tried a spot of small-talk, in the hopes of finding a few things out ..
"So .. Just out of curiosity .. Why 'DO' I need to be escorted to see the Admiral ?"
"Sir ....." said the Lieutenant, almost, but not quite apologetically, "We were just ordered to get you upstairs .. Sir."
"Am I under arrest ?"
"No Commander ....." said the second Officer, seemingly exasperated with Toreks' questioning, "You are not under arrest .. We were simply charged with getting you up here .. No fuss .. No nothing Sir .. Just a simple escort."
As the two Security Officers fell silent. It was more than obvious that he was going to get nothing from them. They were doing their job, no more, no less ...
The turbo-lift opened onto a plush reception area .. Carl had been up here on several occasions, but had never given the area a second look ..
"Take a seat Commander." a Marine Adjutant said, "The Admiral will be ready for you in a few moments .. Can I get you anything to drink while you're waiting ?"
"Cappuccino please." Carl replied, taking a good look round. Then excepting the cup offered, took a sip and smiled at the young woman.
Fifty five minutes, and a second cup of coffee later, he was still sat looking at the Admirals door, when it opened .. Admiral Elron walked over to him ..
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting Commander." Elron said, offering his hand, "I hope Chloe made you comfortable." he finished, motioning toward his office ..
"She did Admiral yes." Carl said, taking the offered hand and shaking it as he headed for the massive ornate double doors .. Feeling distinctly like he was walking into the lions den ! ..........

Post by Scott McLean on Nov 13, 2007 0:03:32 GMT
“But Daddy why? ” Wailed Vanessa in the more child like tone she could muster. McLean rolled his eyes at his daughters attempts to guilt him into staying on the station until the crew received a replacement ship. “I can’t stay honey,” McLean said in a tone that young kids could pick up on, “I’ve got orders and some of my old friends need me to help them on another ship for a little while.” “But why?” Kids, McLean thought, they never seem to care about anything else but what they want. McLean couldn’t help but smile as Vanessa continued her guilt trip methods as McLean walked around his temporary quarters gathering up his gear. There wasn’t anything personal to take with him; it has all been blown up in deep space. He thought of the family pictures, the gifts from Stephanie that were now gone, Vanessa’s toys weren’t here either. It was as if they were starting anew. McLean didn’t know if he liked this new feeling of starting over or not. Should he be feeling saddened by the loss of those items? Deep down inside he thought not, because he still had his memories and above all he had Vanessa, young bratty Vanessa. “Look,” McLean said kneeling down to be on her level, “it’s only for a couple of days and I’ve got somebody really special to watch over you while I’m away.” Just as he finished speaking his door chime range, speaking of which, McLean thought as he sprang to the door and saw it was whom he was expecting. In the doorway was the temporary Chief Engineer that McLean assigned in his absence. Even though on paper he was the Assistant Chief, with Benson being killed onboard the Raven that made him the Chief again by default. “Come on in,” McLean said to the female engineer. Samantha Peterson was a fine engineering in her late twenties. She was a woman who had problems early on in her career because of her intelligence, and partly because of sexism in Starfleet. Some thought a young woman couldn’t handle the pressure of running the entire engine room on her own, McLean wasn’t one of them. He had actually put in the papers to have her commissioned as soon as possible because if they didn’t they were wasting a Chief Engineer on petty enlisted personnel’s work. “Thank you Lieutenant,” Peterson said politely but remained standing in the doorway, “The truth is I can’t watch Vanessa. I’m going to be too busy with all this paper work that you passed down onto me. I’m sorry Chief.” “Don’t be.” McLean said trying to hide his disappointment, “I’ve got somebody else in mind that could help out. Thanks for letting me know though.” “You’re welcome, and sorry again.” Peterson said before turning away. “No problem,” McLean said but cursed under his breath. Where was he going to find a sitter before he was scheduled to leave for the USS Nevada. Looking over at Vanessa from the front door he saw a smile on the girls face, one that implied some sort of deception. He had too much to do before he departed so he choose to ignore it.

“Pleasure to meet you Daniel, can I get you a drink? What brings you to the Raven? you realise our ship was destroyed on our last mission. It might be sometime before we’re free from drydock.” Daniel had been aware of the destruction of the Raven because of his orders, but Daniel also remembered that he orders to observe the senior staff had said when he arrived to the Raven-B which to his knowledge he had not arrived yet. “Yes, I was aware of the lose of the Raven, and as to my reasons for being here, it is simply because that is where I was assigned” Daniel knew the Commander was most likely guarding his tongue and avoiding any actions he felt would look bad. “And do not worry about me evaluating you here and now, for one I am off duty so I refuse to do any work until I am needed, and two I am technically not assigned anywhere as my transfer only went though in the last day or so” Daniel doubted that his little speech had done anything to relieve the Commander but he could do nothing more than he had already.
Ordering himself a drink of brandy Daniel began some harmless conversation “So how did you come to be with the Raven’s crew?”
<Tag Marko>
Daniel hoped Marko did not read too much into his questions.

Carl entered the office .. He noticed a man, sat in a leather chair off to one side. The man watched Torek as he approached the desk ..
Admiral Elron seated himself, barley acknowledging the mans existence, let alone his presence in his office ..
"Take a seat Commander." Elron said, "Can I get you anything to drink before we begin ?"
"No .. No thank you Admiral .. I'm fine." Carl replied, taking the offered seat.
"It's good to see you again Ca ......" the Admiral began.
"Admiral .." the man said, looking straight at Elron ..
"Right .. Let's get down to business." Elron said, giving the man a long cold look, before smiling at Torek, "We're here so we gain get some insight into what happened on your last mission ......"
"Yes Sir." Carl replied ..
Three hours later:
"OK .. Well i cant see that we have left anything out ..." Elron said, glancing at the man, who had annoyingly remained silent throughout the interview, "I'm sure if there's anything else we can meet again."
"Yes Admiral .. I hope my report will be helpful." Torek said, giving the stranger a quick look, that apparently didn't go un-noticed ..
"I may need to speak to you at some point." the man said to Torek, then standing, with a brief nod to Elron, headed for the door, "Good day Admiral .. Commander."
"I'm sure we could 'both' do with that drink now eh." Elron said, moving over to an ornate cabinet, "Don't some people just give you the creeps .. What will you have Commander .. There's some good news I need to give you."
"Then i'll have a small brandy Sir .. Thank you." Carl replied.
Elron got the two drinks and handing Carl his, made a mock toast to the Intelligence Service ..
"OK .. I've already spoken to Mc about this .. So i'll tell you too .. The Raven's replacement has finished her trials .. She will depart Utopia Planitia in three days."
"That's good to hear Admiral." Carl said, pleased they were getting the new ship so soon, "Is it the Galaxy Class Sir ?"
"Yes .. They're painting the name and Ident' number as we speak .."
Carl smiled, then placed his empty glass on the desk .. Admiral Elron refreshed both their drinks and they spoke for twenty minutes, before Elron noticed the time .. He had another appointment to get to ...
"Right .. I've kept you far too long Mister Torek .. I'm pretty sure you have better ways to occupy your time on Bellicose." Elron said, getting up, making Torek follow suit, "Thank you Commander."
Carl left the Admiral's office and headed for one of the turbo-lifts .. It dawned on him that he was starving, and checking the time was shocked to see it was already nineteen thirty five .. He'd grab a bite to eat, then try to relax for the night ..........

“Yes, I was aware of the lose of the Raven, and as to my reasons for being here, it is simply because that is where I was assigned” Daniel continued… “And do not worry about me evaluating you here and now, for one I am off duty so I refuse to do any work until I am needed, and two I am technically not assigned anywhere as my transfer only went though in the last day or so”
Yeah right!Marko laughed, Counsellors were always on duty.
“So how did you come to be with the Raven’s crew?” Daniel asked before Marko could respond to his explanation of how he had joined the Raven’s crew.
“I take it you haven’t received our bios yet?” Marko smiled.
“Well a long story short, I grew up in Scotland, Earth. My parent were both humble people who had their own farm, they didn’t think much of my dreams of one day travelling the stars. Then when I was old enough I told them I was leaving, much to their disappoint to join StarFleet Academy. After my stint in the Academy I have been on the Raven ever since.” Marko responded, hoping he hadn’t said to much.
“Another scotch please Kate.” Marko smiled.
“So what about you Daniel? How did you make it onto the Raven, where were you assigned before?”

“I take it you haven’t received our bios yet?” Marko smiled. Daniel smiled back, he had not been able to access most of the bios information, just general information. “Well a long story short, I grew up in Scotland, Earth. My parent were both humble people who had their own farm, they didn’t think much of my dreams of one day travelling the stars. Then when I was old enough I told them I was leaving, much to their disappoint to join Starfleet Academy. After my stint in the Academy I have been on the Raven ever since.” Daniel looked at him ‘well at least he is being honest’ Daniel disliked having to allow his ‘gifts’ to work with a person but those orders sounded urgent and if the entire senior staff are going to hid something telepathy might give him an edge.
“So what about you Daniel? How did you make it onto the Raven, where were you assigned before?” Daniel felt this was a fair question, “Well I grew up on an archeologically dig colony near the boarders of Federation space with my parents, when I was 7 I left there and moved in with my sister on Mars. She was happy when I started looking at Starfleet, and happier that I was going to become a counsellor. Well my training was split between San Fran and here in section 47. After I finished the academy I was assigned to the Olympia where I served for about 3 months then I was ordered to join the Raven, something about a incident that may have rattled a few heads” Daniel laughed ‘well it is kind of the truth just not the whole truth’.
“So I assume this incident was during the last mission of the Raven-A, if you want to talk I am here, otherwise that is fine” Daniel posed seeing if Marko was going to make this easy or if he was going to have to work it out for himself.

An Incident, that’s the understatement of the century. Marko smiled politely, Daniel seemed to be a nice guy but Marko wasn’t sure what he was allowed to say. Where StarFleet Intelligence were involved lots of information would be deemed classified, Marko was sure some of the Raven’s last mission would fall into the classified category.
“So I assume this incident was during the last mission of the Raven-A, if you want to talk I am here, otherwise that is fine” Daniel added
“Yep the incident was during the last mission, losing the ship was traumatising enough. I’ll need to wait for my debrief until I can talk about it in full. Lets just say StarFleet Intelligence were involved so I’ll have to wait and see what I’m actually ‘allowed’ to talk about.”
Marko answered fairly, he couldn’t mention the alliance or the USS Blair or Captain James seeming involvement or Mc’s double. As Marko thought about it he realised that a lot had happened on their last mission but they had got through it. Smiling, Marko asked
“You eaten yet? I know a good Italian just across the promenade.” Marko pointed behind.

Carl left the Admiral's office and headed for one of the turbo-lifts .. It dawned on him that he was starving, and checking the time was shocked to see it was already nineteen thirty five .. He'd grab a bite to eat, then try to relax for the night ..
As he left the turbo-lift, he was thinking of what to get to eat, when he spotted an outlet he'd totally forgotten about .. Finding a table next to the window, he seated himself and activated the menu .. Ordering, he waited for his drink, ice cold lager, to arrive, and took a sip. Several minutes later his food arrived .. He'd not had a traditional Earth pizza for a long time, and seeing the ham, pineapple, and pepperoni topping, tucked in ...
An empty plate, and a second cold beer later, Carl was satisfied he would enjoy his nights sleep .. He headed for his assigned quarters and began to walk straight for the bedroom, when he heard his computer screen quietly chirping .. Activating the system, he noticed two messages .. One was a crew compliment list for the much larger Galaxy Class ship they were waiting for .. The other was a short message from Joan. Hoping his meeting went well, wishing him a good night, and saying she may see him tomorrow if he wasn't too busy ..
Smiling, Carl returned the 'Good Night' and headed for bed .. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow ..........

McLean had spent the better part of the night trying to find somebody to watch Vanessa while he was away on the Nevada, but his searching had resulted in a big fat nothing. He definitely didn’t need this, not now; his transport was due to leave in a couple of hours and it was getting mighty close to Vanessa’s bedtime.
McLean looked at the time and grimaced as he thought about the last person on his list. He knew he was by bar the busiest officer on the Raven and McLean certainly didn’t want to impose upon the man, but he was near desperate by this time.
Reluctantly McLean tapped his COM badge, “McLean to Commander Torek.”
“Go ahead Scott.” Torek replied in a groggy voice. McLean’s heart sank; he could tell that Carl had been asleep.
“Sir, I’m sorry for waking you-” McLean started.
“It’s alright.” Carl interrupted, “What’s up?”
“I’m due to leave for the Nevada with in the hour and I can’t find anybody to watch Vanessa while I’m gone.”
“Oh yeah, I remember reading that request.” Carl was still dozing in and out of sleep.
“That’s right sir, you signed the papers,” McLean was half tempted to let Carl fall back asleep but the father in him persisted, “Sir, could I impose upon you to watch Vanessa while I’m away?”

The sand was so warm, he wasn't sure he was going to have any skin left on the soles of his feet if they walked any further ..Gillian was only a few meters in front of him, scanning the beach for the optimum location for the towel she had brought with her ..
Beep ..
Thankfully, she found a spot she was happy with, and spread the towel out .. Sitting down, Carl began dramatically rubbing the bottoms of his scorched feet, looking up expecting some sympathy ..
Beep ..
It wasn't forthcoming, she simply pointed toward the surf, as if no more explanation was required, then proceeded to put suntan lotion on her exquisitely long legs ..
Beep ..........
He frowned as he heard the beep once again .. Wondering just 'how' this idyllic scene could suffer interruption .. He was, he realized with disappointment, in that region between a sleep and a wakened state ..=^= McLean to Commander Torek =^= Trying to come to full consciousness, Carl answered the Comm .. =^= Go ahead Scott =^= =^= Sir .. I’m sorry for waking you =^= McLean started apologetically. =^= It’s alright Scott .. What’s up ? =^= =^= I’m due to leave for the Nevada with in the hour .. I have tried but I can’t find anybody to watch Vanessa while I’m gone =^= =^= Oh yeah .. Nevada .... I remember reading and signing that request =^= =^= That’s right Sir .... Sir .. Could I impose upon you to watch Vanessa while I’m away ? =^= Carl was now fully awake .. Due, in part to his Engineers request .. He knew Scott needed to get to the Nevada, it was something he wouldn't have requested if it wasn't important. Which is why Carl had approved the leave time .. =^= Are you sure you want me to look after her Scott .. I'm hardly th ...... =^= =^= Sir .. I've tried everyone I know .. But there is no-one free .. If it's too much trou ...... =^= =^= What time do you want me to pick Vanessa up ? =^= Carl was sure he heard Scott whisper thanks to someone, then he said he would bring his Daughter to Carl's quarters on his way to the Nevada ... Carl broke the Comm and got out of bed ... Dressing, he decided it may be a good thing to actually have Vanessa and himself accompany Scott to the Space-dock .. She could see him off, and hopefully get some reassurance that he wouldn't be gone long ... Carl wondered idly, just how Joan would react to the presence of another woman during their Shore leave .......... < tag : Scott / Joan >

Joan had not seen Commander Torek at all. She remembered he had left her for a meeting two days before. She wondered if she would run into him again, and thought better of it. She was looking about the promenade again, but she knew it was more because of him than anything.
Another day and no sign of the commander. She figured he was busy or what she thought was flirting had been a fluke. She hoped it was the former and not the latter. She sighed and went to the turbolifts to leave the deck. She had had enough of looking for him and decided to see if she could find out when the new ship would be arriving to take her off this starbase. She remembered several years before what it was like living on a base, and had wished for some adventure among the stars again.
She had gotten his 'good-night' message and played it more than once. She knew she was asking for trouble having a crush on this man, but she couldn't help it her skin got goosebumps just thinking about him. A smile had edged its way to her lips even though she was sad she hadn't seen him.
She was waiting for the turbolift with three other people when he got off with a little girl. He has a kid? Why didn't me mention her before now? She thought and let the lift go as she stood back waiting for him to pass by.
"Hello Commander Torek, seems like a good day to be on the promenade," she said as she was leaning against the nearest wall.

Forty minutes after speaking to Scott, his door chime activated .. "Come." Carl said. The door opened, Scott walked into the room, a large bag, standard for someone departing on a short-term mission, over one shoulder. And a pink rucksack type bag over the other .. "Come in Scott .. You haven't much time before the Nevada departs." "Yes Sir .. No I haven't." McLean said, almost embarrassed at the situation he found himself in. "OK .. Well Vanessa will be sleeping in my room .. I'll make camp in here .. Where is she by the way", Carl asked, though he could see the eight year old stood directly behind her Father, "She didn't find someone better to look after her did she ?" Torek said, feigning disappointment .. The ploy seemed to work, because as Scott was about to turn round to speak to his Daughter, she popped her head round his leg .. "No Captain .. I didn't find anyone better." she said .. Carl grinned, the tension seemed to be easing .. 'Well a little anyway' Carl thought .. He crouched down, to be at eye level with his guest .. "Hello Vanessa .. I'm Carl .. I'm pretty sure we will find plenty to keep us both occupied while your Dad is away .. What do you think ?" After a few seconds' silence, where she was obviously using the intellect that only an eight year old child possesses, she decided he was worth a chance .. She smiled, easing her grip on her Father, then letting go completely .. "Can we use the holo-deck ?" Vanessa asked ... Obviously a 'make-or-break' question .. "Oh that's definite .. We'll have one to ourselves if we want it." Carl said, grinning broadly at the young girl, and seeing Scott relax at her side .. "OK then ..." Vanessa said, suddenly taking charge of the situation, she grabbed the bag from her Father and threw it toward the bedroom, "We can clear that up later .. Can't we Carl .. I think we should take my Dad to his ship now ..." With that statement, she grabbed both men's hands and headed into the corridor .. After a seconds hesitation, in which Carl edged her to the left, she set out for the Space-dock .. The two Star fleet Officers in tow .......... < tag : Scott >
