Stardate:2406.07.02 Mission: For Our Sins / Opportunities of Engagements Mission Day 6 Stardate: 2406.07.02 (Starbase Geneva, Main Conference Room - Ensign Ryan Johnson - 16:50) As the meeting was still going Ryan listen to what the Captian had to say about some of the crew members wanting to leave the Station to Tagon. Ryan had not really notice until the Captain said something about Tagon not wearing a Starfleet uniform. Ryan had not know Tagon too long to really see him in a Starfleet uniform that much. But Ryan did know that Tagon was not in Starfleet anymore since the trail. Ryan kind of felt bad that he had not yet found time to talk to Tagon after the trail to help him transition back to civillan life. With the moving of the Station and all the other things going on, Ryan hoped that for now Tagon would have enough things to do to keep him busy for awhile. Ryan didn't know he was in deep thought until the Captian said if anyone has a problem with it to make a formal complaint and it would be logged. Ryan looked up after that and looked around to see if anyone was going to say anything. After a few moments Ryan heard the Jag Officer speak about being ready for the move. Ryan had been wondering how the Command Roster was going to change after the events that had taken place the last few weeks. Ryan listened to Vladek as he spoke hopeing that the meeting would be over soon. Ryan was surprised on what he heard next coming from the Captain. " So after a discussion with my FO, I've decided to open up the place of Third Officer and I've chosen our Chief Counselor for that job. If he accept, of course." Vladek said in looking at Johnson. Ryan was taken back at what the Captain said and was speechless at first. Ryan looked around the room and saw every pair of eyes looking back at him. Ryan's head was spinning and it took every bit of control for Ryan not to go running out of the room and jump into his shuttle and leave and the station. Ryan just sat there for a moment and and finally spoke. Ryan took a long deep breath "I accept Sir." " Would you step forward Ensign. " Ryan stood up from his chair and walked over to the Captain. Ryan saw the Captain had a small box n his hand and was opening it as Ryan got to the front of the Captain. Ryan stood at attention and waited for the Captain to speak. " Your role will be essential over there when we'll have to encounter new races and we'll need your advice on critical decisions and situations. So to help you in your new responsibilities, you are hereby promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade. Congratulations Lieutenant." he said in putting an additional pin to his collar. As the Captain placed the pini on Ryan. Ryan looked down and saw the new pin. The Captain stood back and Ryan saluted the Captain. "Thank you again sir. I will do my best and work hard in doing what I can for the moving of the Station." Ryan went back to his chair and sat down. Ryan was full of emotions now. He was happy for the promotion but also scared because of the new responsability. The Captian was right about Ryan's department having a lot of work to do. With the Station moving and the crew members being a long way from home Ryan knew that his department was going to be overworked. Ryan just had to keep remembering that his crew was trained for this and let them do what they did best and be supportive of there ideas. Ryan needed all the help he could get and he didn't want the counseling department to have problems. If there were problems between counselors and it showed to the rest of the crew. Then who would want to talk to a counselor that could not hand his own problems. Ryan again caught him self day dreaming and heard the Captain speaking again. " All right Gentlemen, we'll have a lot of work in the two next days, so we'd better to not loose time, if there are no more questions, you're all dismissed " Vladek stated to close the meeting.

" Vladek asked. "Yes sir," the Brikar replied. "Actually, security seems to have taken a smaller hit than other stations. Less than 10% of Security has elected to leave the station. I am still uncertain as to the disposition of Balok. Have you heard anything from him?" " I was with him last night but we were so busy searching Commodore Blackford that I didn't had the chance to talk to him about the move and if he had already made his decision." Vladek replied "Even still," the Brikar continued, "we will be short handed for a while. I am putting together a civilian constabulary, but that will take a little time." " No offense Constable but I'm not quite happy with the idea of having civilians doing alone the security onboard the station. We are a Federation starbase still run by Starfleet so for starting, you'll put them as assistants of the Security Officers. In the future and if we are satisfied with their work, we'll give them more responsibilities." Vladek stated (Reply Tagon) Vladek looked around the table and said " As you've probably all noticed, as a result of the trial Dru Tagon is no more wearing a Starfleet uniform, I've decided that the Security of the station was primordial so I've offered him the place of Constable which is equivalent to the job of a TAC/SC. He will be responsible for the Security inside the station and inside our two support ships. I'm taking the entire responsibility for that decision so if someone has an objection, he can address a formal protest to the Admiral and it will be put in the station log." (Reply any who wants to react) "We are up to speed sir and ready for the move." The JAG officer answered then added, "if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know." " For the move, the Mithrandir and the Nautilus will require several officers, you can see with our FO where your presence can be useful." Vladek stated (Reply Tybrin) " And concerning Commodore Blackford, have you already establish a report for Starfleet Command ? And have you already received some reaction from the JAG corps ? I'm sure it's not usual for a Fleet Jag to commit murder " Vladek asked in wondering how the Lt. would react in having to make a report on his previous boss. (Reply Tybrin) The meeting was coming to an end and Vladek had just one more thing to announce " In the Beta quadrant, we will be stationed in an unexplored sector which will require to be charted first and explored. That will mean a lot of works for every department and more responsibilities for each Head Officers. And also for the Command staff of the station, our FO Lt. Cmdr Wilson has also the responsibilities of the CONN Department, our 20 Lt. Mackenzie have to share the administrative work with her responsibilities at the head of the Medical Department." Vladek made a pause and continued " So after a discussion with my FO, I've decided to open up the place of Third Officer and I've chosen our Chief Counselor for that job. If he accept, of course." Vladek said in looking at Johnson (Reply Johnson) " Would you step forward Ensign. " As the Counselor was standing up and coming near him, Vladek continued in opening a small wooden box" Your role will be essential over there when we'll have to encounter new races and we'll need your advice on critical decisions and situations.

My own tricorder is just has equal has a medical tricorder and even little more. You will see in moment. If I'm right, I will know why you have memory loss and headaches." A few seconds later, Lowell sat back and with the controls on the table she put a 3D image of Vladek's brain. It was a little odd, it was the first time Vladek was seeing his brain floating in space just in front of him. After a minute or two, Lowell smiled. "That's what I was thinking and there not much time to loose on your case. The tumor is pushing against 2 nerves and a major blood vessels." She then look at the area. "Your brain is far more complex then the one of Captain Winterborn, it will take a lot more then an hour, I think 3 hrs is more like it. Your in excellent health other wise." Vladek smiled " Thanks for the compliment Captain, it's due to the fact that we've got a good Doctor onboard this station." he said in looking at Mackenzie (Reply Mackenzie) "Yes, I notice doctor, it's pushing at that region also. They will have to be done first and we will have to use some Vulcan focus practice, if you need help I might enlist the help of Lt. B'Lanor. I'm myself familiar with the technique but I'm no empath." She looked at Doctor Mackenzie. "Dr Mackenzie, if you want to be familiarized with what I did has much what is my head and to Captain Winterborn, I can give you all the information and Dr. Weasley will help you understand. I know that using ninites... well people aren't that hot about it but you must know that once it's done and that tumor out, I can take them out easily." Vladek spoke first " Well, it seems that I haven't got the choice, if I've clearly understood I can undergo a blood vessel rupture at any time. I don't see any particular problem to use these ninites on me and you Lt ? " he asked in turning to Mackenzie. (Reply Mackenzie) "I will call Dr. Weasley and Lt. B'Lanor, I want to have there opinion." Lowell said tapping her combadge. "Lowell to Dr. Weasley, could you come to the main conference room, I am talking to Dr. Mackenzie and Captain Rofellian, he is interested in the intervention." A few moments later the ACMO and the Vulcan CSO of the Cochrane entered in the room, Lowell spoke to them for a while and then continued to explain what she had in mind for the intervention "Yes, it's probably strange that I ask you but as I was doing the intervention on Captain Winterborn, I was thinking of Captain Rofellian's brain, which should be far more complex. I knew that you have worked with ninites before and I would like your help. I have just scanned Captain Rofellian's brain and like you see this tumor is aggressive and putting pressure here and here. Those will be the first targets, the thing is we will have to do it now because of the symptoms that Captain Rofellian is having from time to time." Lowell said in looking at Vladek. Vladek began then to explain all the symptoms he had felt since they had came back from Cryton IV " It had begun by little headaches which were appearing from time to time, then these headaches have increased in intensity and were more and more frequent. After I've begun to have some vision problems, due to the medication Doctor Mackenzie has given me, the headaches strengths and frequencies have decreased, in counterpart I had to undergo several counter effects and now, as you've probably noticed at the meeting, I'm beginning to experience memory loss." "I concur Captain, it appears highly probable that the tumor will prove fatal relatively soon given its current rate of growth and impact upon his nervous tissues." the CSO stated. "That is what I was thinking. It's a time bomb he has in his head. You can see the complexity of the network of those blood vessels and nerves." Alexandra sat asking B'Lanor and Weasley to do the same. "I will tell you a story. When I had the accident and the idea of making my first cybernetic arms, I was confronted by the problem of the intervention, which made me create those ninites you see here." Lowell showed the design and plan of those ninites. "They change a little since the first generation, but a Vulcan friend of mine was with me during this intervention I want to perform. Him and me mind meld has we performed the intervention. He thought me a lot about control, you probably figured that one about me." Then Captain Lowell and her CSO began to discuss about the possibilities of doing a mind meld with Vladek during the operation. At first, the Vulcan voiced some reservations about it, probably because he hadn't never performed it with a Romulan and Vladek was completely understanding the fact but he finally agreed. "Yes, I think it will take me at least 3 to 4 hrs... which reminds me that I have to talk to Lt. Comdr. Tahlmari and cancel are diner. I might suggest that he does with his mother and sister, they need to catch up. Captain Rofellian, Do you have any questions?" Lowell asked. " Well I would say that I've got hundred of questions but I think we don't have time for it, just two questions, first when do you intend to perform the operation ? With the move of the station, for me, the sooner, the better. And second, how much time until I'll get a complete recovery, do you think I could be back on duty in two days ?" Vladek asked still very concerned about the station.

Jonathan Tybrin, 1700) "For the move, the Mithrandir and the Nautilus will require several officers, you can see with our FO where your presence can be useful." Vladek stated "I understand sir and I will be happy to accompany the FO where he may be, if that is your order." Jon agreed as he continued to listen to what Vladek had to say. "And concerning Commodore Blackford, have you already establish a report for Starfleet Command ? And have you already received some reaction from the JAG corps ? I'm sure it's not usual for a Fleet Jag to commit murder " Vladek asked in wondering how the Lt. would react in having to make a report on his previous boss. "Yes sir, I have sent my report in, though I had to decide where to send the report with everything happening. I went ahead and sent it up the regular channels with a copy of it going to Admiral LoDona and all JAGs." Jon had not really known if sending it to Starfleet JAG would do any good or not but it had been his reporting procedure. Without clear guidance he was going to stay with protocol. "As far as reactions, well I have had some of my fellow JAGs send me messages stating their outrage at the actions of one of our own. I have not heard anything from headquarters as of the start of this meeting." Jon paused as he was going to say something that would not go over well and wanted to try to word it just right. "Sir, with all due respect, no matter what may have been witnessed, it is alleged murder of Lt. Pitt, until such time as the Commodore is found guilty in a military court of law." Jon could see that Vladek was not pleased with what he just announced and heard the gasps of some that were in attendance as they had witnessed the incident.

"Indeed Captain, you have always appeared to have significant control over your emotions and mental faculties.

"It was no secret, you're right. I will need my entire concentration and I will need you to help me keep it that way. Do you have any suggestions? I think we are interested to hear it.

Dr Weasley look at his colleage and turn to Captain Lowell. "It will be a difficult procedure but it's necessary. It's just too dangerous that Captain Rofellian keep that tumor in his head.

With Vladek’s conditions worsening John was worried he could be facing assuming command of the station. John noiced the door open and then Vladek exit. " John, can I have a word with you ? " “Of course Captain,” John turned back to the ensign, who collected the pad back and then moved off down the corridor. “Ensign I shall catch up with you later,” The ensign nodded and moved off, John moved to Vladek’s side and smiled. " I know you are aware about my medical condition, well .... it's getting worse, I need rapidly an operation." “Of course, Vladek,” John paused it was not good from what he had looked into it the cancer was very violent and not one that could be treated to his knowledge. “I though it was unoperable Vladek?” " No, Captain Lowell will perform the operation, she has already done it on Captain Winterborn, the CO of the Discovery. Stacey and the Cochrane ACMO will help her, Lowell has assured me that I'll be back on feet for the move." “Damn good to hear I didn’t fancy surfing the station through the river alone,” John stated smiling attempting to put the situation at ease. He didn’t want his friend to worry too much, he knew the stress would be getting worse and didn’t want to add his worries. " It's always risky my friend but don't worry, I've a complete faith in Captain Lowell. It's scheduled for now, according to their observations, I've got a time bomb in my head. So during my absence, you'll run the station. I know it's a bad moment to let you but I think I don't have the choice. That's why I've promoted our Counselor to third Officer, Kaitlyn and him will help you for the preparative." “Brilliant another one to hand work on to I like this idea. Oh don’t worry I can keep the seat warm Vladek,” John stated smiling again. " Good, just in case things would turn bad for me, I count on you to lead our people in the Beta Quadrant." Vladek said “You always can count on me Vladek, may I ask do you have any additions to standing orders?” (Reply Vladek) “Right of course, who do you want to command the Nautilus and Mirthandir. You wanted the Nautilus on point and the Mirthandir on back up who do you want as officers on the vessels?” (Reply Vladek) (Starbase Geneva – Mirthandir umbilical security check point – FO – Lt.Cmdr John Wilson – 17:40) John moved into the security corridor and smiled at the several marine guards. As he did he noticed the third officer coming down the corridor. “Lieutenant Johnson!” John stated raising a eyebrow at him. “What are you doing here?” (Reply Johnson) "Congratulations on your promotion Lieutenant," (Reply Johnson) "Captain Rofellian was correct we are all going to need you, are you fully prepared for the move Lieutenant?"

Commander Tahlmari - 1715) Tahl had been sitting in his office looking over the reports from the negotiations and pouring over the pictures Ambassador Otalz had given him. He was still trying to place the faces. =^=Lowell to Lt. Comdr Tahlmari... are you alone? I need to talk to you.=^= Tahl sat back in his chair and smiled, "I'm in my office right now." =^Your office... great. I'm afraid that Rofellian's case is more then I thought. His life is in danger with that tumor. We have to do something right now... I will not be able to go have diner with you. I have asked with me Lt. B'Lanor and Dr.Weasley.=^= "I'm srry to hear that," Tahl said, suddenly very concerned about Geneva's captain. Sounds like it will take yo a while" =^=I know... about 3 to 4 hours and I might have to oblitarate that tumor right away, you can double that time. Could I suggest that you go eat with your family. Make that in a public setting unless they don't feel comfortable about the idea.=^= Tahl looked quite disappointed. His one bright spot at the end of the day ws spending time wit Alex, and now even that has been aken away. This day was just getting better by the moment. Although, having dinner wiht his family could prove to be a more than adequate distraction. =^=After that.... I think that I will be prime candidate for a bed and some sleep. Hope to find you there!=^= Alexandra blink at him. At that Tahl couldn't help himself but smile. "I'm looking foward to it too. Do you need anything sent to you." =^=Nurse T'Simmi will be with us. She is bringing everything that we will need. I miss you already!=^= "Me too," tahl said back. "I'll try and stay awake for you. I love you." He kissed his fingers and touched the screen. =^=I love you too Honey! Lowell out!=^= As the screen went out Tahl tapped his comm badge. "Computer, locate Karonyla Tahlmari." [Karonyla Tahlmari is in the former FO quarters.] Tahl smiled, thinking of the irony of his mother in his old quarters. "Lt. Commander Tahlmari to Mrs. Tahlmari." =^=Go ahead Yil,=^= came a woman's voice, in response. "Well," he began uneasily, "I was wandering what your plans were for dinner." A short pause came before, =^=We have no plans.=^= "In that case," he continued, finally bucking up his courage, "I would like to take you three out to dinner. There is a particularly nice restaurant on our Prominade deck." There was an even longer pause. =^=That would be... nice,=^=came the eventual response. "Very good," Tahl said, "I'll come by for you at 1800 hours." =^=Really Yil, we could meet you there.=^= "I don't think so mother. I want to make sure you arrive safely." =^=Very well, we'll see you soon... son.=^= The finally words were exasperated and tenuous, but they still sounded promising. Who knows, this might turn into something good. For the first time in his vast memory, he was looking forward to seeing his mother.

Vladek stated “Right of course, who do you want to command the Nautilus and Mithrandir. You wanted the Nautilus on point and the Mithrandir on back up who do you want as officers on the vessels?” the FO asked Vladek thought for a moment " I'll stay on the station so you will take command of the Nautilus with Lt. Ryan who will monitor the subspace river, Ensign Matrix as Engineering officer and Colonel T'Vanek for Tactical/Security. Lt. Johnson will take command of the Mithrandir, we aren't supposed to encounter hostilities so it will be a good command training, you'll assign with him Lt. Cmdr White, Lt. Tybrin and Ensign Balok. For Balok, have a discussion with him, we still don't know if he is coming with us." (Reply Wilson) " Stacey will stay on the station with Ensign Breen in Engineering, Ensign Belinia in Ops and our Constable for the Security."

JG. Ryan Johnson - 1730) After the meeting Ryan went down to deck 20 and was now sitting in the Ops chair in the Mithrandir. Ryan could not believe that he was now a Third Officer. It seemed only a week ago that he had came to the Starbase and took over as Chief Counselor. There had been so much action since he arrived that he forgot that he was working on his personel shuttle on deck 150 in shuttle bay 26. Ryan had already been on tweo big missions and recieved two medals. One medal for each mission. Then almost having Captain Wilson kicked out of StarFleet was something in it's self. And then the whole trial with Tagon. Ryan did feel bad about not being a bigger part of the trail as he should have. Ryan laughed to him self about how scared he was when he first came to the station a few months back. Ryan had thought that at first there would not be much to do as a counselor aboard a starbase. Instead there was much to do. Ryan was still shy and was not good at appproching people to get to know them. Instead the only reason why Ryan knew anyone was becacuse of the meettings and people stopping by to talk about there problems. In fact Ryan had not talked to to many people about there problems because he let the staff at his office take care of them. Ryan remembered that when he first came aboard that the staff had put together a poker game to help relax. Ryan started to think about what he could do to help get to know the crew more and get there minds off from being home sick. Poker was fine but it didn't seem a way to meet people. Then Ryan remembered that when he was younger he liked it when he went camping with friends and they sat around a camp fire telling stories and talking about them selfs. "That's it." Ryan said out loud to him self. "Will have a camp fire in the holo-deck and when can eat smores and hot dogs and we can talk about over self and what we did before Starfleet." Ryan was taken by surpries when he heard a voice from behind him. "Sir you should not be in here. What are you doing in here any ways?" The voice said in a deep tone. Ryan turned around and saw a security officer stand at the doorway to the cabin of the ship. "I'm sorry I didn't see any one out side so I just came aboard to be alone and think." "Well sir I'm doing my rounds right now. I will have to put this in my report that I found you here sir." The security officer typed on his PADD. "By the way sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave right now." The security officer put away his PADD and now was looking at Ryan. "I understand. I didn't mean to be a bother." Ryan stood up from the Ops chair and started to walk towards the security officer. The security officer stepped to one side letting Ryan walk past him. Ryan left the flight deck with the security officer following him until they reached the outside of the ship. "Have a nice dayand keep up the good work." Ryan said as he walked out of the docking area into the corriador.

As Laura exited she saw the new assistant Chief walking around. Smiling she still waited for the time for him to replace her as Acting Head. She had been working as acting chief for 2 months now and she hoped for an end soon. "Ensign Matrix, how are things going? I hear you're just a bit busy." "Just a bit Ensign, but nothing I can't handle...but I could use some sleep." “Of course Ensign, I believe most of us could do with some sleep it has been a long couple of days. You are doing a brilliant job though Ensign,” Laura stated. "Awe, and thank you. I'm headed back to the Mirthandir to assist Ensign Clark with cooling repairs. The computer core on the Mirthandir isn't being cooled properly. Once we get that situation resolved the Mirthandir computer upgrades will be complete." Matrix nodded. “Brilliant Ensign and I wont keep you any longer, good evening Ensign,” Laura stated and continued to walk towards her quarters for some well deserved rest.
