Stardate:2406.07.02 Mission: Opportunities of Engagement/Four Our Sins, Day 6 Stardate:2406.07.02 (USS Cochrane- Deck 8, VIP Quarters- FO- Lt. Cmndr Tahlmari-0710) Karonyla Tahlmarihad thought about this moment for ten years. What would she say to the son who had left them without so much as a good-bye. Then again, what options had they given him. But to leave the planet, and never to send word. How could he have been so unfeeling, uncaring. Those were the emotions boiling under her chest. "So you've now deemed me worthy to speak to," she said calously. Tahl looked at her with curiosity. "I now have something to say to you," Tahl replied simply. "Or at least, to ask of you." "After ten years, you have the audacity to ask anything of me." Karonyla was astounded. "I would think," Tahl said curtly, "that you would be happy to help find the party responsible for fathers death." His mother spat the word back out at him, "Father! you dare call him that. What do you know of family." "Only what you taught me mother," Tahl's voice was on the edge of being raised. "That family are the ones who turn their backs on you when you're in trouble. That they cannot be counted on to stand by you and understand you, even if you are... different. That there is no such thing as unconditional love. And that on your 16 the birthday, your father, who supposed ly loves you, would throw you out to the wolves, because ..., good heavens, I still don't know that one." His mother's jaw hung limp. She didn't know what to say to such an onslaught, and it is very rare that anyonwe would address her so. Even her husband, her now late husband, would not talk to her thusly. "And while I'm unloading, dearest mother, what kind of a family is so ashamed of one of their own that they would not make any effort to show an ounce of love or compassion, in spite of differences, or even because of them?" Tahl was breathing heavily now. He had not come here for this reason, but she had just hit the right button. It was all he could do to stop and keep himself in check. Tears burned at the corner of his eye, but he refused to let them fall. Karonyla sat silent, her jaw slack, and then she closed her mouth, her mind and her heart once again. She managed to put decorum in front of all else. All that really mattered wa what others saw, even this one. she still had not wept openly for her husband, and she'd be damned to do it for this one. "What is it you want?" she asked softly. "Before he died," Tahl began, "father said that there was a traitor. Do you have any idea what he was talking about?" "A traitor?" her eyes widened, "no, what could that possibly mean?" Tahl shook his head and began to pace. Old habits die hard. "I have no idea, but he wouldn't mention it if it weren't important. And he seemed to imply that it was somebody close. I don't know how he thought that or why," Tahl cut off the question his mother was about to ask, "but it was clear that he did think it." "What else did he say?" Karonyla asked. "He asked me to protect you and the girls," Tahl said. She shook her head, "He wouldn't ask that of you." "Ah, but he did. And so now, you are under my protection, which is a damn sight better than what you've been getting. What I need from you is any information about thede negotiations. All who are involved, and any research father may have done, or any of his aides. I want a full list of your entourage also. Who you trust and don't trust. Please do not put my name on that second list." Karonyla rolled her eyes. "Anything else you would like, perhaps my first born child?" "No thanks," Tahl said with equal sarcasm, "I already have him. Please have the information sent to my office." Tahl was about to leave when he stopped and turned to look at his mother. "After all these years, do you not even WANT to ask how I am? And by the way, he did ask for my forgiveness." At that he turned and left. The door closed behind him, like a portculous on a castle. Tahl had to get the energy out, so he decided a workout was in order. On the other side of the door another sight was to behold. Karonyla Tahlmari sat quietly. There had been two men in her life. One had just died, the other had just walked out on her for the second time. His words still rang in her ears- "do you not even WANT to ask how I am?" But she did want to know. She wanted to hear all about his life. Why could she just not have acted on those feelings? Why was it that every time she saw her son, it brought only feelings of anger and regret. For the first time since Erebou's death Karonyla felt alone. A tear fell from her eye, followed by another. It didn't take long for tears to be pouring uncontrolably down her face. By the time her daughters returned she is in a full, sobbing, weep. Unconsolable, wondering how she could have done things differently in her life.

Nigel was in no position to argue and sat on the floor, it had caught him off guard he had expected about another 6 months before he got this bad. It was not the time for this; he was not ready nor was his first officer. If he chose to take his people into a civil war he would at least fight along side them. "What is going on Captain? Are you sick? The doctor will be there in a minute." Nigel looked into her eyes the concern and empathy for him was clearly displayed. Nigel took a deep breath and spoke.

She was with Ensign Capps went suddenly a medical alarm went off on the bridge. Something was wrong with one of her crew. "What is going on?"

"Well Captain im in your hands as always," Nigel stated, knowing any chance was better than none. "Okay, so let's forget about Ten Forward and come with me to my lab. I need to show you something." (USS Cochrane - Science Deck, CO lab - 0743) They walk inside the lab and the lights went on revealing an ecclectic collection of stuff. "Everyone is a bit curious about my lab... rare are the captains that have one. I have a bit of everything in there. Archeology artifacts and of course ninite technology, cybernetics equipment. You remember at the academy I had an accident and that I have lost my right arm. It was the event of the year, everyone had that on there lips."

At the end of the day his was a science vessel and it was a battle to even get a quarters and a ready room. "Everyone is a bit curious about my lab... rare are the captains that have one. I have a bit of everything in there. Archaeology artefacts and of course nanites technology, cybernetics equipment. You remember at the academy I had an accident and that I have lost my right arm. It was the event of the year, everyone had that on there lips." ”I remember Captain,” Nigel stated remembering the grouse occasion in which she had lost her arm. Most other Captain’s had called him a fool for taking her on as a officer but he saw a rare strength in her eyes and he still saw that now. "They couldn't, it was cook in the fire of the shuttle, and this is a cybernetic arm. I had good friends who help me out to construct the first 3 models. The one I have right now is the 6th and on the drawing board, the 7th." ”Lucky number 7 hey?” Nigel stated attempting to lighten the situation. "I had to go back to school, specialised myself in a few areas, cybernetic, bio engineering, brain chemistry, etc. Don't want to bore you into it. I will be able to do this in 2 steps."

Nigel raised an eyebrow it all sounded very complicated, the idea of little computers in his brain still did not sit well at all and he would not lie and say it did. However he did trust her and decided to give her the chance. (USS Cochrane - Sickbay - CO Captain Winterborn - 0800) Nigel stood and listened to the numerous conversations between the CMO and the CO. it was a difficult conversation to follow especially for a man how was not too up on science and primarily a fighter. Nigel looked at her as she began to move back over him. "By the way, I wasn't alone that's why I'm asking you. I need the back up of a Doctor, for that scientific paper. Captain Winterborn... are you ready?" ”Of course Captain at the end of the day its to bodily go!” Nigel stated smiling attempting to put people at ease and show his confidence in her. "Okay, you just have to lay down on the bio bed and relax. Your head will be immobilised during that procedure and you will be conscious, it's essential, isn't it doctor?" This was immediately not a nice idea to be asleep with some one messing in your head was fine. But to be awake and have someone poking around was not a nice game. (USS Cochrane - Sickbay – CO Captain Winterborn - 0828) It was a strange feeling to be awake and to have someone poking around in your head. with what had felt was a eternity it still had not ended, Nigel prayed under his breath for all to be well for him to be able to walk out and put all of this behind him. he was not going to allow himself to die not like this and not now. "Are you okay Nigel? How do you feel?" ”Erm I wont go as far as great and go for ok,” Nigel stated attempting to remain cohesive. “How long is this going to bloody take!” Nigel enquired. "Great... another half an hour and I should be done with this last part. Everything is normal, your pulse and breathing is slightly high but it's in the parameter. I'm carefully monitoring you." “Great I'm glad some one is. I'm scared stiff here."

She went straight to Dr. Weasley and said. "I have to talk to you." Weasley had been looking at his computer screen. It hadn't been terribly important, but the results had taken him a few hours to get and to be interupted was just a little disorienting. He turned with anger on his face until he realized who it was he was looking at. "Oh, Captain,' he stammered a little, "ummm, sorry, I was just..., what can I do for you?" "Actually, it's what you can permit me to do... with your assistant. You know that I have been working on a medical application of the ninites. You also are family with how my arm came to be." "As I recall it was some," the doctor said, a little sarcasticly, "probably preventable, accident at the academy. Yes I am familiar. And yes I am aware of your work with ninites. So what is it you wanting to do?" "Captain Winterborn as a brain cancer, the first part of the process is to protect the essential part of the brain that is affected, blood vessels and nerves, the same way that I did for my brain. I would like to perform that process. Later, like tomorrow, I would like to destroy that cancer with another set of ninites." Weasley raised an eyebrow, almost in Vulcan fashion. He fond the proposal most interesting, but also somewhat disturbing. "Captain," he warned, "knowing the unpredictability of the ninites, how do propose to control them once their work is finished. After all, it's the ninites that give the Borg their ability to regenerate. They tend to have a mind of their own." "Those ninites aren't anymore Borgs, I have bio engineered them. The first 2 sets of ninites will protect and remain active until that cancer is gone. They are totally under my control and I can take them out easily. I have in my head, stored in the bottom node where I have a connector, 200 ninites to perform repairs on command. Never had a problem with them. In this case, I would take them out of Captain Winterborn because he wouldn't need them after the cancer is gone. What I'm thinking of also is Captain Rofellian, who is suffering from the same thing." Weasley rubbed his hairless chin, thinking. Suddenly he appeared distracted by the fact that he might have a little stubble there. He refocused his attention. "I would definitely need to monitor the progress. But if what you're proposing works, Captain, this will be something for the medical books." Then he added, "And I'm sure Dr, Mackenzie will be happy to use the procedure on Captain Rofellian." "I know that Doctor Weasley, I'm already in there with this arm. So you will help me!" "Absolutely" the young doctor was almost salivating at the chance to get a good look at that cybernetic arm. He came up close and a free standing table over for her to put the arm on. "When the accident happen there was little option for me but then I remember the Borg implants. I went back to school and learn everything and with the help of another scientist cook up those. If you scan you will see the ninites protecting the region of the brain where the nodes are. It was a delicate procedure. That's what I intend to do first. After, we will be able to destroy that cancer safely." Weassley ran his tricorder over the captain's head to confirm her report. "I see," he said absently. Then he ran a similar scan over Captain Winterborn's head. "So you propose to have the ninites section off the part of the captain's brain that is to be exised, to prevent bleeding out and further tissue damage." "Yes, that is the process. The only thing they are programmed are to protect the tissus. In this case, blood vessels and nerves. It could get Captain Winterborn tired, that why I prefer the second stage to be done the day after, giving him time to recuparate. It's the same process that I used on myself before I installed those nodes in my head. So are you ready Doctor?" "Whenever you are Doctor Captain," he smile, a very excited smile. He still couldn't believ that she had done this to herself. "By the way, I wasn't alone that's why I'm asking you. I need the back up of a Doctor, for that scientific paper. Captain Winterborn... are you ready?" (Reply from Winterborn) "Okay, you just have to lay down on the bio bed and relax. Your head will be immobalised during that procedure and you will be conscious, it's essential, isn't it doctor?" "Indeed," Weasley agreed. He gave Winterborn an injection that would help him relax. He then set up a a headrest that would keep the head and neck imobile, while not taking his eyes off what his captain was doing. "Relax Captain," Weasley reasured the man, "you're in good hands."

(Starbase Geneva, Deck 19 Chief Counslor's Office, Ensign Ryan Johnson 0900) Ryan was seated at the head if the table and Ryan waited for everyone to be seated. Everyone at the table saw that it was 0900 by the clock on the wall and began to stop talking. "Good morning. I'm sorry for the fast set up of this meeting and very sorry to you folks that would be sleeping at this time. But the capitain wanted me to have a meeting with all my staff and to discus about the moving of the starbase and how it might affect the crew members. Also we need to put together a plan that will help any crew member that might get home sick. With 25 of you plus my self we should be ok as far a staffing. I don't think will need to request any more staff. I have come up with some ideas to help with crew members that might get home sick and I would like to have your ideas also. By the time were done with the meeting I should have a plan for the capitian so that way he will know how where handling this move. Is there any questions so far?" Ryan looked around the table to see if any one had a question. Kim Sloan was the first to speak up. "Have you picked an Asst. Chief Counselor yet? We were wondering if you had made up your mind yet." "Yes I have. I decided that Carrie Philo will be my Asst. Chief Counselor." Ryan looked over a Carrie who was sitting on fourth down from Ryan's right side of the table. Carrie looked surprised and Ryan motioned for her to stand. "Do you have a problem being my Asst. Ensign Philo?" Ryan waited for her to answer. "No sir. Thank you sir." "Your welcome ensign." Ryan said as he stood up and walked over to her. Ryan gave her a hand shake and a pin that show that she was now the Asst. Chief Counselor. Carrie took the pin and sat down as Ryan walked back to his chair at the head of the table. The crew members in the room clapped and Ryan waited for the clapping to die down. A moment later Ryan start again to start talking about procedures. "Ok as far as shift changes there will be none. You will all be on your same shift. But you will be having diffrent jobs added to your everyday jobs." Ryan picked up the PADD in front of him on the table and started to read from it. "As you all now know. Ensign Philo will be Asst. Chief. For the first shift Bill Cool, Amy Mores, Brain Kreps, and Jenifer Paris. You will be doing one one one counseling with people. Any question?" Ryan waited and no one spoke up. "Ok. Mindi Jones. You will be having group counseling with kids and teens. Any questions?" Ryan waited for an answer. "No Sir. Sounds good to me." Jones replied. "Ok next. Craig Stubbs you will be doing group meetings with the adults. Do you have any questions Craig?" Ryan looked down the table at Stubbs. Stubbs just shook his head from side to side a few times. "Ok now next Carol Dukes and Jason Case. You will be working in the holo-decks 3 and 5 on deck 141. Just make the place more like home for the crew. Any questions?" Ryan waited for someone to speak. "Yes sir." Carol spoke up. "In what way should we make the holo-deck feel homie to the crew?" "Just use your best judgement. Maybe make it look like an old Earth amusment park with rides and such. Have some hot dogs and other types of food." Ryan said with a smile on his face. "I see sir. I'll get some information on old Earth fun parks and see what I can come up with." Carol said with a smile on her face now. "There you go. Make the place fun for people to go and forget about being away from home." Ryan smiled at everyone. Ryan reached for a pitcher that had the Pepsi in it and poured a little into his glass. Then he placed the pitcher back on the table and took a drink from his glass. The room was quite and Ryan placed his glass back down on the table and start to speak again. "Ok. the 2nd and 3rd shift will be about the same as far a duties. Mark Crumm, Tammy Anderson, Michael, and Luke Mallek. You will be the one to one counslors on 2nd shift. Sonia Parker and Emukule Weiss, you will the two group counselors on 2nd shift. Shannon Bell and Tim Richard you will be running the holo-deck on deck 141. Do any of you have any questions." Ryan looked around the table. No one said a word and a few crew members knodded there heads side to side. "Ok then. Moving on 3rd shift will be as follows. Randy Wilson, Sarah O'Connell, Christa Wallace, and Travis Fyn will be the one on one counselors. Paras Maes and Terry Sweet will be the group counselors and Kim Sloan and Charles Granger will run the holo-deck on deck 141." Ryan looked around the table at his staff. "Any questions." Ryan waited for a moment. "Ok. if the people that are doing the one on one counseling having nothing to do. Then please help out the other crew members that are working at the holo-deck or help out at the group meetings. Now dose any body else have any other ideas about what to do." Ryan looked around at the people sitting at the table. Paras spoke up first. "We could give tours of the starbase to the crew members that have not been here long. That might stand for you to there Chief." Paras smiled at the Chief. "That sounds like a good idea. I'll add that to my list for the captain. And I'll take you up on the offer sometime to take a tour." Ryan typed up the idea on his PADD. "Any thing else." Ryan looked around at the other crew members. "Maybe we can have an old fashion cooking class. We can learn how to cook food with out replicators." Carol waited for an answer from Ryan. "Now that's what I'm looking for. That's a good idea Carol." Ryan added that to his PADD also. "Maybe we can have something like a summer camp for the kids." Travis said. "We can have a camp fire and sing songs and such. We could have it on a holo-deck." Travis showed on his face that he must have liked camping on the holo-deck. Ryan thought to him self that Travis might have already had a program in the holo-deck just for camping set up so he could use it on his spare time. "That would be a good idea. We might even have a singles party for people to meet for also. Maybe parents that don't have a spoues could get together and not feel so alone. Travis that camping idea sounds great. The kids could also meet new friends too." Ryan looked around the room again. "Ok any other ideas?" No one at the table could think of anything at the moment. Ryan stood up at the head of the table. "Ok. I think this meetng went well. If you have any more ideas just let me know. Your dismissed." The staff around the table got up and started for the door. Carrie Philo walked up to Ryan. "What can I do for Carrie?'' Ryan said "Thanks again for making me Chief. I was not even expecting it." Carrie said. "Well you earned it. You have been a great help to me since I arrived here and so it would seem fitting for you to be my Asst." Ryan smiled "Thanks again Ryan." And Carrie started for the door. After the meeting Ryan walked over to his desk and started to work on his paperwork. "Computer. Play Duran Duran Rio at volume 3." The music started and Ryan started his work.

As she looked at the first officer she smiled in a attempt to put him at ease, the ship had taken a serious beating and now she knew it was going to be her to put everything back together.

Bell. She thought she did that but obviously, she check things out with her logs, and she did, so someone did something. "Hall, I would like to see you right now... It's urgent." Quickly, Hall appeared at the corner of the room. "What can I do?" "Someone used the old code of Lt. Bell. I had block the code ever since he left so someone had access and played in my links... I would like you to find out if you could trace it from the inside of the computer. It's urgent Hall, we have a traitor on board and we must find out who it is fast." "Visual logs, I have saveguard them from any tempering. Give them to Ensign Romonov, he will conduct the investigation." (Ensin Romonov) "Let's go... we don't have much time, I want this solve today, NOT tomorrow." Alexandra watch Hall disappeared back to the computer, she always wonder how he did that. She pace on the bridge for a moment, then turn to Ensign Capps. "Ensign Capps, send a message to the crew that everything is under control and more particularly to the delegates on board. Tell them that I will see them all in an hour." (Ensign Capps) "Good! Lowell to Kara and Tahl, I would like to see you in my ready room once everything is under control in engineering.

Cmdr Tahlmari- 1202) Tahl looked at the engineer, her face, once again, covered in dirt and smoke. He wondered if that was going to be her "look." "Commander," she said as Tahl touched her. "How's it going here Ensign?" Tahl asked, taking i the scene already. "The plasma fires are out sir and we are beginning repairs, I will be able to give you warp in about 10 hours and impulse in 5." Looking at the extent of the damage Tahl was amazed at the analysis. He hoped she and her team were up to such a monumentous effort. He was about to offer his services again, and that of any other department when the internal com system activated. =^=Lowell to Kara and Tahl, I would like to see you in my ready room once everything is under control in engineering.

Plus it was a captains duty to give the engineer less time than the estimate. Tahl broke in, "Captain, the fires are just about out here, and we should be able to jpoin you in about 10 to 15 minutes." (USS Cochrane - Ready Room - FO - Lt. Cmndr Tahlmari- 12:10) Tahl led the way from Main Engineering. He practically had to drag Kara from her engine room, but Alex wouldn't have asked to see them if it weren't important. Once outside the damaged area Kara talked incesantly about the repairs and upgrades she wanted to make. For the second time, Tahl made the curious assesment that from a species of listeners, Kara sure could talk. They discussed upgrading the security protocals and procedures in engineering and also going over the crew and duty roster more thoroughly together. Kara followed Tahl into the captain's ready room. Tahl smiled at Alex. Even in such a serious situation she could still fill him with warmth. Kara smiled at the captain as she was invited to sit. "How are you?" Lowell asked. "I will be ok Captain," Kara replied. "I'm not at the moment and still a little annoyed with my brush with death but I'll be fine." Alex looked up at Tahl for a second with concern on her face. Tahl winked and indicated that they were both in perfect working order. "You did a good job," the Captain stated. "Ensign Vanderbuilt found a dead body with a tool in its hand. I'm waiting on DNA analysis to identify that individual, but maybe you could tell me more. Here are the details of where and that tool. According to Vanderbuilt, that tool wasn't a type use in this sector." Tahl looked over Kara's shoulder to read what was on the PADD. He too, did not recognize the tool. But it did look vaguely familiar. It was Kara who figured out what it was. A zero-g arc welder. Now where the hell would someone get a hold of something like that. But a ship the size of the Cochrane, it would not be unheard of to have such an item. Still, why would that piece of equipment be out in use at this time. There wa no structural damage to the Cochrane. No, he had to agree with Alex, it certainly looked like sabotage. Then Alex caught him by surprise. "I was thinking also of what just happened and this ship is so big," the captain began, "that I need at least 2 chief engineers, one more in front than the other of course. So, considering everything I name you Chief Engineer, and the rank of Lieutenant junior grade." Tahl could see tha Kara was surprised too."Thank you Captain I will prove your trust in me is well grounded." Surprised or not Tahl quickly made his way to the replicator and punched a few buttons. By the time he was back they finished their discussion Tahl shook Kara's hand. "Congratulations Lt.," he said and handed her a new pip for her shirt. Kara took the pip and looked at quite proudly. "You are dismiss Lieutenant," Lowell said, "and take five to clean yourself up." When Kara left Tahl chuckled. he saw the curious look on Alex's face. "She's a good choice for the job." (reply Lowell) "I am a little concerned," he admitted. "She's still very new to our ship. Although I feel I can trust her, I really don't know her that well. I also don't see any other options to us." (reply Lowell) "Of course, I'll keep an eye on her." (reply Lowell) "The engine room's a mess," Tahl reported, sittingon the chair across from Alex. "The fire is out but a plasma fire can leave a lot of hidden damage, so we'll just have to see. I do however agree with Kara's assessment that the warp engines will be up and running in about 10 hours if they work round the clock at it. The problem is that most of the people down there are already exhausted from fighting the fire." (reply Lowell) "I'll make it so." Then Tahl noticed that Alex just felt wrong. "Are you okay love?" (reply Lowel) "I know what you mean. I don't like the idea of not trust anyone on the ship either. Let's hope we can find these culprits quickly."

Kara paused it was always best to give yourself more time than the job actually took to ensure that she could get it done.

(USS Cochrane - Ready Room - 12:10) Kara walked into the ready room behind the First officer, standing silently Kara awaited the Captain to speak. Alexandra was reading a report from Ensign Vanderbuilt. They had found a body with a tool in his hand and it didn't look right. Now the only thing left was to identify that dead individual. She head the door of the ready room, she also felt long before he stepped inside Tahl. She smiled but kept on reading, when she was finished, she looked up. "Please sit down... how are you?" (Reply from Kara) "You did a good job. Ensign Vanderbuilt found a dead body with a tool in it's hand. I'm waiting on DNA analysis to identify that individual, but maybe you could tell me more.

Kara seem to be surprised for a moment. (Reply from Kara) "I know you will, and obviously we will have to rectify a lot of stuff around here.

Feeling very self-conscious at the fact her uniform had looked better than it did now. "Please sit down... how are you?" "I will be ok Captain, im not at the moment and still a little annoyed with my brush with death but ill be fine." "You did a good job. Ensign Vanderbuilt found a dead body with a tool in its hand. I'm waiting on DNA analysis to identify that individual, but maybe you could tell me more. Here are the details of where and that tool. According to Vanderbuilt, that tool wasn't a type use in this sector." Kara accepted the pad and read over the schematic of the tool that Vanderbuilt had discovered. Looking at it Kara paused and looked again the design was from the build stations near Earth. It was only suppose to be used in space due to the power output and the fact it is unstable in oxygen. Kara began to think if some one had rigged one of these to activate it would have set off the explosion that had ripped through engineering. "Captain, it is a zero-G arc welder. Fortunately we do not use them onboard the Cochrane and only shipyards hold them. We could not hold one on the ship for the very purpose of what happened today they are unstable in oxygen and can lead to explosions like the one today. In the correct positioning it could create what happened. Now the positioning and the equipment is not exactly something everyone could know how to get hold off or where to position it. Therefore we are facing a professional," Kara stated. "So it seem that we have found are saboteur... just need to put a name on him. I was thinking also of what just happened and this ship is so big that I need at least 2 chief engineers, one more in front then the other of course. So, considering everything I name you Chief Engineer, and the rank of Lieutenant junior grade." Kara remained motionless being unable to move, it was a big shock she had not thought that the Captain had noticed her. This was a moment of great pride a promotion and a position of Chief Of Engineering was an impressive jump forward. "Thank you Captain I will prove your trust in me is well grounded," Kara stated. "I know you will, and obviously we will have to rectify a lot of stuff around here. I'm changing all codes, all the old ones have been erase definitely.

"Yes, I'm making that so right now and I will keep you posted about who was discovered dead in that conduit." Alexandra smiled. "You are dismiss Lieutenant and take five to clean yourself up." Kara stood from the desk and smiled at the captain then moved out on to the bridge. (USS Cochrane - Bridge - CEO - Lieutenant Kara - 12:30) Kara moved out on to the bridge and beamed a massive smile; it was nice to have another pip on her collar. Moving over to the operations consol, Kara paused behind the Chief Of Operations. She was going to need his help; not wanting to throw him off guard Kara cleared his throat to announce her presence. "Ensign, thank you very much for your assistance today," Kara stated. (Reply Capps) "It was damn fine piloting give you more time and you could match the best pilots of the fleet,."

"Are you okay love?" Alexandra lift her head and smile to Tahl. She got up and sat on her desk facing Tahl. "I don't like this atmosphere of suspicion and not be able to trust my crew. We should know more about who was found roasted in a few hours, according to the doctor. I'm not even sure that this individual is the one who done it." "I know what you mean.

It was traditional for a first officer to be on the right hand, it was something that he never understood but at the end of the day it was good to sit on the right hand of god. Vladek began to speak to the assembled officers about the situation and the proposed move. " All right everyone, the big day is approaching, the move of the station is scheduled in two days at 22:00.
