Subject: Nimitz posts may 24 (2nd edition)
Date: Sunday, May 24, 1998 2:21 PM

NRPG: Due to some excellent recoverywork from Warren, Randell's post can be
used after all with only a few alterations. Since this is the second
compile of the day, it's not as big as we are used to.

By the way, I still could use some quotes for the Dedication plaque of the
Nimitz. If all goes well, I'll put them all in a seperate post for
everybody to enjoy and to vote on. The one with the most votes will be the
one.

Ok, then let's get on with the game.

(USS Nimitz - 10 Forward - CSO Surin cha'Evekh - 09:05)

Meecham led the CSO to a seat, 10 Forward was not busy at this early
hour and the room was easily quiet enough to talk in. Meecham pulled
out his ever present PADD.

"I have the details of all of my crew here, what particular skills did
you have in mind ?"

"Well, as you know, I currently only have one other person assigned 
to my department, Cadet Farris. My personal education is astrophysics 
and computer sciences, and Farris is specialized in biology and 
biophysics. So, basically anyone with other skills than those would 
be appreciated. Especially if you have someone who are skilled in 
chemistry, physics or matematics, which are the skills neither one of 
us have. Oh, and maybe we could also co-operate on the matter of the 
computer systems on board?"

NRPG: Reply from Meecham?

Surin thanked the CEO, and with a slight smile got up and headed for 
the turbolift.

(USS Nimitz - CSO's Office - CSO Surin cha'Evekh - 11:10)

Surin was in his office writing the report for the captain about new 
equipment and personnel, when his comlink chimed.

=^= T'Brant to Ensign cha'Evekh.=^=

Surin tapped the badge.

"Yes, sir?"

=^= Could you come to the Bridge for a moment? I have an assignment 
for you.=^=

"I'm on my way, sir."

(USS Nimitz - Bridge - CSO Surin cha'Evekh - 11:15)

As Surin entered the bridge, he saw T'Brant sitting in his chair. He 
raised an eyebrow at Surin, and beckoned him over.

"Yes, sir?"

"Ensign cha'Evekh, I have a little task that I would like your 
assistance with. I have obtained an encryption sequence for some 
computer files. I would like to read these files and see what they 
contain. This concerns the recent activities of Lt.De Segura. You are 
not obliged, but I would value your help."

"Certanly, sir. I will get right on it."

Surin took the data disks and went to the Computer Rooms.

(USS Nimitz - Computer Room 2 - CSO Surin cha'Evekh - 12:40)

Having removed the various encryptations on the computer files, Surin 
had just finished downloading them to a data disk and was about to 
go to the Bridge, when he heard someone talking in the vicinity of 
the Research Labs, a man and a woman. He decided to see what was 
happening.

When he was closer, he heard the woman say:

"That's nothing! Haven't you paid attention when you were in the Science
Lab on the Spectre? Now that was a science station. This is a mockery!"

~What's going on?~

Turning a corner, he saw Captain Aragorn standing at the door to a 
Research Lab.

"Captain," he greeted him.

"Ensign Surin, I brought a visitor along, I hope you don't mind?"

Before Surin could reply, a head popped around a corner. "This is a 
disgrace! Aragorn, shame on you!"

"Mental deficiency?" Surin asked.

"No, occupational pride" Aragorn said.

"Emotional" Surin said.

"My bride." Aragorn answered. Surin looked at him and raised both 
eyebrows.

"Fascinating."

Louise appeared again. "They don't even have a Hingstrom Analyser or a
Kattlin Pulse Generator!"

"Louise!" Aragorn called out, " I would like you to meet somebody."

As she slowly approached with a few smears on her forehead, Aragorn 
said: "Ensign Surin, Senior Technician Louise Palmer from the 
Spectre, Louise, Chief Science Officer Surin cha'Evekh from the 
Nimitz."

"It's a pleasu..." Surin was cut short.

"Nice to meet you," Louise said "but now I have to reconnect two 
power conduits to get some juice running here."

Again she darted off, but was called out again by Aragorn.

"LOUISE! This is nor the time nor the place to start rerigging the ship. I
have asked the Ensign to give me a list on what he needs to get this
station fully operational. So there is no reason for you to but in."

Surin tried not to let his astonishment show on his face.

Louise came back, walking slowly.

"Somehow I don't think much of a man who accepted the post as it is."

"Louise! You are talking to a superior Officer!" Aragorn scolded her.

"And I am an experienced Lab Technician! Ask him then what he needs more,
me or a title."

Aragorn closed his eyes. "That's it, Louise, I'm going to 10 Forward to
meet up with the rest of the Spectre and you are coming with me!"

Louise went silent, she looked baffled as Aragorn turned around and went
out of the Station. She quickly grimassed at the Vulcan and then set off
after Aragorn.

When they were out of sight, Surin shook his head.

"My goodness," he mumbled.

NRPG: I'd better make this department functional quickly, before 
Louise hijacks my office ;).

(USS Nimitz, Bridge, TAC/ASC, Ensign (jg) Roland Grund, 14:00)

The turbolift doors opened on to the bridge, and Roland stepped out.  The
crewman posted at the tactical station looked up and noticed his approach.

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Report."

"Several visitors from the Specter are aboard at various places.  Also,
there are a total of 43 crewmembers currently on board the Starbase.  No
disturbances have been reported."

Roland nodded.  "Thank you.  Dismissed."

The crewman nodded, and vacated the bridge.  Roland tapped in a query for
the activity log for the past 24 hours.  Finding all to his approval, he
called up a report on the defensive systems for the ship.  Finding all to
his satisfaction, he began drawing up plans for suprise drills.

=^=Security Team 3 to Ensign Grund.=^=

"Grund here."

=^=Sir, you better come to the brig.  The intruder in Minnola's quarters
was ACEO Specter.=^=

"Acknowledged.  On my way."

Roland tapped out a query for a crewman to man his station.  Satisfied, he
turned to the turbolift.

(USS Nimitz, Sickbay, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 14:40)

The tour was coming to an end when Remae came out of the counsellor's
office, smiling. Doctor Bell smiled back and said: "Care to walk me to the
airlock, Commander?" 

"Sure, I need to get to the OPS centre on the starbase anyway." Remae said.

Jana turned to Aragorn. "Captain Aragorn, thank you so much for the tour.
You know of course, that I'm insanely jealous of your facilities! We will
see you before the wedding I hope. Bye for now."

She reached up and kissed him on the cheek, said goodbye to the others and
then headed for the airlock with Remae.

Aragorn looked at their backs until they were out of his sight. He
absentmindedly touched the place where Jana had kissed them and smiled
melancholically.

He suddenly felt how Louise grabbed his other hand and said:" Don't worry,
Aragorn, this isn't the end, you know?"

Aragorn turned towards the rest of the Spectre group. "And what are you
planning to do?" he asked.

Jerok looked at Jenny and said," I think we will go as well. I still have
some things to take care of. It's been fun, Sir. Maybe we can do this again
one day?"

"I guess that could be arranged, Jerok. It has been a great privilige to
work with you, Ensign. Keep up the good work."

They both shook hands while Jenny embraced Louise and whispered something
to her. They both smiled as Jerok took Jenny by the hand and left after the
FO and the doctor of the Spectre.

"Kim, Mr. Campbell, I hope you have enjoyed your stay here as well? I can
only hope that Ensign Meecham is only half as good as you, Kim. That would
mean that I have the second best Enigneer in the fleet."

Kim blushed and did not know what to say so she smiled and abruptly turned
away and dashed off, leaving Shuggie Campbell to guard the rear.

When they all have left, Aragorn just stood silent, looking along the now
empty corridor. After a while he turned towards Louise.

"And you?" he asked.

"I'll stay, Aragorn. If that's Ok with you."

Aragorn smiled and said:" I wouldn't have it any other way."

Louise suddenly grinned. "Good, then I'll go and rearrange your living
quarters. It's sowehow just not right."

She darted off but halfway through the corridor she stopped and returned.

"And you, Aragorn?" she asked, "Tell me what's bothering you."

"Ahhh, it's nothing. I hate farewells...and...to tell you the truth, I
really hoped that Ro would have come. I can still remember her face when
she heard I would command the Nimitz. I'm afraid she probably thought that
the Nimitz would be hers. And I think she would be a better Captain for
this ship then me."

"She's different, Aragorn, not better, just different. You're not the
battle-hardened warrior she is, and she isn't the wizard in personal
relationships you are. But she'll get over it, she always has and probably
always will."

Louise snuggled up on him for a while and then started to grin. "Last one
to reach the Turbolift is a rotten egg," she said and dashed away.

Aragorn grinned and went after her but was unable to catch up with her.

As he entered the lift, Louise wore a big smile.

"Tell me, Louise, what did Jenny say to you?"

Before Louise could answer, Aragorns commbadge beeped.

=^=Daynarian to the Captain, Sir, we just picked up transmissions between a
Romulan Bird of Prey and the Starbase.=^=

"I'm on my way, Ensign," Aragorn said, looked apologetically to Louise and
ordered the lift to go to the Bridge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(USS Nimitz, Brig, TAC/ASC, Ensign (jg) Roland Grund, 15:00)

Roland entered the Brig.  A security officer stood next to one of the
holding cells.  Inside sat Ensign Specter, who was rubbing his leg.

"Lower the field." Roland said.  The crewman complied, and with a fizzle,
the field vanished.

"Mind explaining what you were doing in Minnola's quarters, Doctor?" Roland
asked with a slightly amused expression on his face.

(Uss Nimitz, The Brig, Ensign Spectre 15:00)

Tobias felt like someone was cheerfully jabbing hot needles into the
side of his face.  He also
suspected the same person of terrorising his leg.  His face seemed
extremely sensitive on one
side.  He knew a bruise would appear there soon.  He rubbed his leg
hoping, vainly, that the sheer
friction would dissipate the pain he felt.  He looked despondantly
around his cell again.  He could
not believe he was in the Brig, again.  Two days and three trips to
Brigs,twice unwillingly.  He spent
more time in Brigs than he had in his room.
~ Maybe I should bring my stuff down here ~
He continued to rub his leg.  Though the pain did not fade, he felt
better doing something.  A door
whooshed opened and an unfamiliar figure entered.

"Lower the field." the new man said.  With a fizzle, the field vanished.

"Mind explaining what you were doing in Minnola's quarters, Doctor?"
the man asked with a slightly
amused expression on his face.

~ Where do I begin ? ~ he thought.

" Errr.  I was on the Starbase when some men decided my face needed
reworking.  Well I managed
to escape but it seems that the crewmember on Transporter duty got
confused and transported into
... um ...Minnola's room.  Though I half suspected to be on the
Spectre, the guy must of realised, in
time, who I was and transported me here instead.  Though I know not
why he sent me too Minnola's
rrom.  Check the logs it was what happened.
 Just do me a favour ... "

" Grund."

" Please do me favour Ensign Grund, i'm sure this need not go any
further , huh, please ?" Tobias
pleaded.

Ensign Grund smiled " I'm sorry, doctor, but I cannot do that.  I must
report EXACTLY what
happened here".  The stress on exactly made Tobias twinge in guilt.
~ Great , first a disturber of the peace and now a pervert .  Good
going, Spectre ~
" At least can I  be released ?"
" Sorry Doctor but no.  Miss Minnola has still to decide whether to
press charges."
Tobias groaned.
Grund looked down at the sorry figure of the Doctor then turned and
left.
As the field came up again, Tobias felt they was a certain finality
about it

(USS NIMITZ Deck 12 security office Ensign Alairn Daynarian 15:05)

Alairn was just preparing to beam over to the Starbase, to question
Gabriel, when his comm badge beeped,  it was one of his ensigns on the
bridge=^=Sir, this is ensign Michaelson, on the bridge, we have been
monitoring communications between the StarBase and a Romulan Bird of Prey
that has just entered the system, they are here to recover their ship and
crew that defected=^= Daynarian replied "I am on my way", Gabriel will just
have to wait, this situation takes presidence!  He tapped his comm badge
"Michaelson?  Alert the Captain and the FO as well I am sure they will want
to hear this"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(USS Nimitz - Counselor's Office - Couns - Ensign Kestra Troi - 1515)

Kestra had gotten back to work and Lt. Cmdr K'tell had come by.  They had a
nice long chat then the Cmdr had to leave.  The rest of the day she spent
in reading different messages that other Counselors had sent to her and
repling to them.  She had finished the Recommedation that she had thought
to put the engineering department.  It was for the outstanding work they
had done putting the experiemental systems on the Tomcat.  She felt that if
it had not been for them, Daynarian and herself would not have survived the
pirate attack.

"computer send recommendation to Capt Aragorn"

<<compling>>

She then started to compose a communication to her parents when she got the
feeling of a lot of unknown minds ascending on the Starbase.  She shut down
her computer and headed for the bridge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(USS NIMITZ Bridge Ensign Alairn Daynarian 15:20)

Daynarian stepped out onto the bridge and relieved the Ensign standing at
tactical, he immediatly reviewed the communications between the StarBase
and the Warbird.

(USS Nimitz - Bridge - Couns - Ensign Kestra Troi - 1521)

As Kestra stepped out onto the Bridge she noticed that Alairn was relieving
Ensign Michaelson that was currently at Tactical.  She went to her position
to the left of the captains chair and sat down.

"Ensign Daynarian, are there some uninvited guess coming?" she inquired of
him.

"Yes, Counselor, we seem to have an Romulan WarBird entering the system and
is requesting recovery of the Romulan Empires property and Personnel," he
answered, then half to himself, "where there is one bird of prey there are
bound to be others."

"Should we go to yellow alert or something?  Have you alerted the Capt and
First Officer?"

"Yes, I have."

Kestra sat back and monitored what she could from her console waiting for
the Captain to arrive.  She decided to send messages to all the
departmental heads informing them of what is occuring on the bridge.  She
suggested they making their way toward the bridge for when the Capt arrives
he will most likely want a meeting with all section heads.

(USS NIMITZ Bridge  Ensign Alairn Daynarian 15:22)

Alairn looked up from his tactical scans, "The Captain and FO have been
notified, I'd rather not step on any toes by sounding a yellow alert unless
its absolutely nessecary, they should be here soon at any rate, I cant
believe the Romulans would be stupid enough to attack a StarBase and four
ships with only one Bird of Prey, I am scanning for other ships but not
finding anything.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(USS Nimitz, Bridge, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 15:25)

As soon as Aragorn entered the Bridge, he listened to the transmissions
they had picked up. It did not tell much, only that the Romulans wanted to
get their Warbird back. Aragorn grinned at first as he thought of how a
single Romulan ship would get the Starbase to fulfill it's request when it
suddenly became clear. ~Not one,~ Aragron thought, ~but many more.~

Aragorn turned towards the TAC/SC.

"Mr. Daynarian, assemble a detail of Securitymen together with some Marines
to get our people back to the ship. Shoreleave has been cancelled until
further order."

"Mr. Troi, call all senior officers to a meeting in the Conference Room in
deck 2 in ten minutes."

"Mr. Rivers, get me a link to the Starbase, Commodore Andrews."

After a short while, the OPS said:" Sorry Sir, Commodore Andrews cannot be
reached. I could get the Starbase First Officer for you."

"No thanks, I need to know what the Commodore is thinking. Keep trying."

Aragorn walked away towards the Turbolift.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

(USS NIMITZ TAC/SEC Bridge Ensign Alairn Daynarian 15:31)

Daynarian tapped his comm badge "Daynarian to Ensign Barana, I need you to
round up Ensign Grund, then take a squad of marines onto the Starbase,
bring back all our people over there, shoreleaves are hereby canceled by
order of the Captain.  After thats taken care of  you and Grund are to
report to me on the bridge, Daynarian out"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

(USS Nimitz, Bridge, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 15:35)

Aragorn looked at the faces of him senior officers.

"Alright, people. I understand that you have all heard what has happened.
If you didn't then here is a recap. A Romulan warship has decloaked in the
vincinity of the Starbase and asked to release the liberated Warbird and
it's crew. As for now we do not know what the Starbase is doing, but if
there is one Romulan ship in the neighbourhood then there are bound to be
more. I want this ship to be fully operational in case we are needed. I
don't think it is necessary to say that all shoreleaves are cancelled."

"Will we engage the Romulans?" somebody wanted to know.

"That's too early to tell. It all depends on the action the Starbase is
thinking of. OK, that's it folks, we have work to do. Hop to it."

Aragorn watched the officers leave, but when he saw Ensign Meecham, he
remembered something.

"Mr. Meecham, can you send an Engineer round to the EMH? It's been bugging
me that it wants autonomy. Since it is vital that our complete medical
staff is ready for duty, I think it is a good idea. Will you see to it that
it is done? Thanks."

(USS Spectre - Crew quarters, Ensign O'Grady, 18.35)
  
O'Grady entered his quarters he was glad to be able to visit the other
ships. Before he left O'Grady changed into some clothes that were more
comfortable than the duty uniforms and grabbed a bite to eat.
He left his quarters and headed straight for the starbase first. 
  
(Starbase 968 - Main Engineering, Ensign O'Grady , 18.50)
  
O'Grady went straight to engineering. Engines and machinery were his second
love after weapons. He walked around the room for a while just glancing at
all the panels. While in there he talked to many of the engineers about the
station and its abilities.He went from there onto ops , tactical, Science
and communications. It had taken him a lot longer than he expected to tour
the base but during his tour he found tactical to be the most interesting
thing of the lot while there he had talked to Lt Thrax on the starbase for
a long time about a lot of things including the Romulan situation, the
latest defence technology being developed.He then headed for the broad walk
leading to the Nimitz.
  
(Starbase 968- Broadwalk, Ensign O'Grady, 20.00)
  
As O'Grady approached the broadwalk he could see the entrance blocked by
two security officers. when he approached to enter one of the officers
stopped him.
  
"You can't go onboard without the permission of the CO"
  
O'Grady replied to the officer with a touch of annoyance 
  
"I'm the Tac/Asc of the USS Spectre and you are saying that I can't go
onboard another federation starship as a guest"
  
"No , I'm saying you can't go on board this ship without permission and if
you don't have permission go away or I'll report you to station security"
  
O'Grady left the area thinking about what he would have done if he wasn't
in Starfleet. 
  
"I'd could have taught him a lesson if we weren't in starfl....." Suddenly
he stopped 
  
"what am I saying, he was only doing his duty"
O'Grady was alarmed at how easy he got angry over something so trivial. 
  
(USS Spectre - Crew quarters , Ensign O'Grady, 20.20)
  
O'Grady went to Bed early hoping that a good nights rest would help him
forget about his earlier flare of temper. Anyway he taught "if I did get on
to the Nimitz I would have been to tired to get up for duty in the morning,
I'll sort out the problem of getting on to the Nimitz in the morning". The
next Morning he was up just in time to report for duty. 
  
He just arrived in the door of office on time. Talas was behind his desk
when O'Grady came in.
