She was in sickbay when she heard the announcement. It was good to get back they needed some rest, the ship to get the repairs she needed, and to have the medical inventory filled. They had used so much of the supplies.
She went to Bufords room, then over to the data stream from the bio bed. "Well now, Mr Hound I think ya been be here long enough. So its off with ya and no cart wheels. They will be needing ya to get this gal in for repairs." she smiled. "Dinner would be fine around 8ish?" She smiled at him, then left the room.
She instructed her staff to do an inventory, and to clean up the place a bit. It was a mess after everything that happened. She went to her office, getting a cup of Earl Gray tea she sat down to do the reports. and arrange for Capt Harsting to be at the Medical center there. She was confident that after he was there he would be back in no time at all.

Colina entered his exam room walked up to the bio bed and checked the data then said "Well now, Mr Hound I think ya been be here long enough. So its off with ya and no cart wheels. They will be needing ya to get this gal in for repairs." Buford wag his tail as he nodded
He then seen her smile and Buford smiled back, but his smiles look like a snarl so he quickly stopped as she said ""Dinner would be fine around 8ish?" His tail wag faster "I'll see y'all then" watched her smile then turn and leave the room, He got up Exited the Room and head for the bridge

Grab Foot looked up, seeing Buford's return to the bridge. He saw that his tail is "wagging" from left to right and back again, indicating he was extremely happy about something. Perhaps it was just getting back to duty
"I've been cleared for duty, sir" he stated as he re-took the Helm. Grab Foot merely nodded at the canine officer then looked back at the viewscreen
"I tell you, Sir, they let anyone fly this Bird" he heard Buford say and he looked back to the canine officer, then he reported "Once in range of the SB, I'll take us to 1/4 impulse Sir"
He sensed that he was being humorous again and he looked slightly amused, then answered him "Anyone ccan fly, Lt. Jussst don't crrasssh into the Starrbassse when we get therre. We'rre alrready dammaged ennough"
He chuckle-hissed, looking more amused

She picked up another com that was difficult to read, her claws clicked lightly on the console as they went over the keyboard. Her tail was moving more out frustration. Finally she cleared it enough to understand them. However it was still garbled somewhat.
"Sssirrr, I have Ssstarrr Bassse 234 on mmmy sssscansss. They arrre welllcommmeing usss home sssirrr." She continued to hone in on the SB in an attempt to clear the signal more.

Buford's tail wags as Grab Foot says "Anyone ccan fly, Lt. Jussst don't crrasssh into the Starrbassse when we get therre. We'rre alrready dammaged ennough" and grab foot chuckled-hissed
"Me crash, I got plans for tonight Sir" He replies his tail waging
He then hears a voice say "Sssirrr, I have Ssstarrr Bbbbassse 234 on mmmy sssscansss. They arrre welllcommmeing usss home sssirrr."
He looks toward the voice at Ops and sees the female Feline "Howdy Buford B Hound LtJr" he says looking her over he takes in her scent, then turns back to his controls

"Me Crash? I have plans for tonight, sir" He heard the canine office reply to him
He was surprised that he already made plans but it was not his place to question what those plans were "Verry gooood. Lt", He would say to him before heard the beautiful voice of M'Leezz report that we've entered Sensor and communications range of Star Base 234 and they were sending a message to them "They arrre welllcommmeing usss home sssirrr."
He stood and moved over to stand near the feline officer, as he was tired of sitting. Plus he wanted a reason to be close to the female feline "Puurrrr-fecct, M'Leezz. Plleassse sssend a mmmesssage baccck to thhemm and rreqessst thhat all availlablle rrepairrr teamms be made availlablle for whenn we dock"
He was still using the purring tone/accent in his tone as spoke. Not just with M'leezz, but with everyone

As he monitor his station he heard a noise that got louder and louder pulling his ears down "What is that racket?.......Oh its you sir" he says as he turns to see Grab Foot standing near M'Leezz, the noise was annoying to him he thinks,"what's he got an enginee in him" he then turned back to his controls and tried to block the noise

He heard Buford ask "What's that racket" then before he could respond, he added "Oh, It's you, sir"
He turned to give an odd look to the canine officer, noting his ears were lower then normal. He wondered what "racket" he was referring too. He thought for a moment and the only thing he could hear was the messages from SB 234 coming in and the purring between him and M'Leezz. Then it dawned on him. The purring. That he couldn't help. It made him feel better considering all the things they been through plus it made him think of home. He also liked the way it sounded, epecially coming from M'Leezz
He shook his head and looked back to the readings on the Operations console

“Well, I’ve received training in just about all the fields, but specialize in the ‘technical’ and ‘theoretical’ aspects of engineering and R & D. Most of my skills are in the art of combat and war…” She shrugged, her small shoulders, much the opposite of her brothers, raised and lowered “But I have been known to fix a system or too…” she smiled.
As she spoke with Grabfoot, she occasionally glanced around. Her brother should be here, she had no idea where else he’d be; ‘Duty First’ was something that was stressed in their family, she wondered where he was.
She waited for instructions, and felt a sigh of relief, as she heard that they were only a few hours from ‘home’; they could then dry dock and receive the repairs that they desperately needed.

Location: Ready Room
Lieutenant Commander Grant, found himself staring out the window that was in the Ready Room; he didn’t know what he was looking at, but he knew who he was looking for. Although Doctor MacAuley had cleared him for duty, as his wounds had healed, there were other injures that weren’t so easily treated. As he heard the announcement that they were almost back at Starbase 234, UF Headquarters, he felt relieved.
It had never been his dream to command his own Starship, and the fact that he’d obtained his current position under such circumstances was stressful enough, in addition to the ‘Ann’ situation. He sighed heavily aloud. Soon they’d be docked, and he could ‘go for a walk’ and let the Admiralty decide what to do with the Terrasect and the information they’d returned with.
He wasn’t happy that not only did they return not able to complete they colony mission, but carrying the news of a new enemy, the lost of a Starbase and Outpost, the casualty list of the combined losses of over 2,000 names; the cost had been heavy. But the upside was they had been able to get the Terrasect free and home to tell the story.
As they got in closer, and the repairs had continued, the communication system began to work more efficiently. His RR Console beeped solemnly, twice, causing him to snap out his trance he was in. He turned back, and unlocked his console. It was showing that he had two ‘priority’ messages waiting for him, but neither was from Terrasect Personnel.
Unlocking the console, he saw that one was from Starfleet Security and one marked ‘Personal’ from Ann. His heart skipped a beat. He read the entry time and it coincided with his time in Sickbay and Ann’s ‘departure’. He was about to open it and found himself arguing with himself, his hand trembled as he tried to force himself to activate the message, he retracted his hand; he was afraid. He didn’t know why, but he knew the emotion; one he didn’t experience very often.
He sat staring at the screen, completely forgetting about the other message, for what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes, until he was finally able to get himself to activate the message. “Computer, play message…” The Computer played the message, it was audio only…
Message Begins:
“She better not be your wife. I’ll be back…if we are meant to…” The message was disrupted by the 'going out with a bang' of Kate and the raging battle. “…be. I wanted to tell you everything but there just isn’t enough time. Or sh*t just comes out of now where that you can’t control. Kate being one and Colin being second…he’s not my son but just complicated… I know you…your head is just gonna hurt. I have to get Colin to safety. I have to leave you again and I don’t know when and if I’ll be back. My life was pr...I'm not sure if I should tell you how I feel…so I won’t. I don’t want you to wait for me it's not fair to you.”
Message Ends.
Samuel’s eyes filled watered up, and his fists balled up, but yet again he found that no tears fell. His mind raced, along with his heart, as his emotions ran the full spectrum. “Life’s not fair…” was all he could mumble. He touched the screen, directly on the words “tell you how I should feel…”, he lowered his head and shook it. He selected ‘save’ and had it saved to his personal records.
In the simple hopes of distracting his damaged emotions and his wondering thoughts, he activated the message from Starfleet Security. He read it, and fell backwards into his chair. “Oh perfect… You’ve got to be kidding me…” he said, through a jaw that just wouldn’t pick itself up.
After another moment or so, he tapped his combadge “Grant to Lt. Cmdr. Grabfoot, could you come to my Ready Room please.” Sam re-listened to the first line in the message ‘You are hereby relieved of command…’

Location: Main Bridge, slightly left and behind Ops
As the Terrasect came up on One hour ETA for the Arrival to Star base 234, he heard Jadzia answer his question, finally, an ear tilting backwards in her direction to better catch what she was saying “Well, I've received training in just about all the fields, but specialize in the ‘technical’ and ‘theoretical’ aspects of engineering and R & D. Most of my skills are in the art of combat and war...."
He didn't turn to look back at her for a few moments to think about what she said, his ears quivering a little in thought. When he did turn to face her, he saw her casually glancing around the bridge, looking somewhat thoughtful "Assss youuu arre ssspecciallizzed in Ennginerringg, I think it would be bessst to placce youuu in Engineerring to rellievve the lack of perrsssonnell there." He tried to lessen the purr in his voice but it was being stubborn "Sssinnce we arre nearrly to Starrbassse 234, I'd jussst sssit back annd ennjoy the vvieww"
His tail curled into a small helix in humor, then his ears perked up as he heard Commander Grant summon him to the ready room "Onn mmy wayy, Sssirr" he'd say as he spoke into his comm badge
Location: Entering Captain's Ready Room
A couple steps later, he was entering the ready room where Cmdr Grant has been residing in for the last day or so. He smelled the intense sadness coming from him and his attempt at controlling his facial expression to not betray the sadness he felt. His nose twitched as he also saw what looked like a look of surprise on his face, bordering on shock. He stepped up to the Captain's desk and stood in a formal stance "Lt Commanderr Grab Foot Of~Two Dawnss rrepporrting as orrderred, Commanderr"
He noted that the purr in his voice had lessened in the presence of the male Grant. Coincidence?

She heard the comment from the canine and shook her head. Asking a feline to not purr, especially a Caitain is like asking a canine, not to wag its tail enthusiastically when happy. Which is most annoying and triggers a hunt response sometimes, if shes preoccupied. Canine's what can you expect.
She hears two comm messages coming in for the CO Grant, and directs it his ready room. A few minutes later she receives a com from the star base.
"Welcome home Terrasect. When you reach the shipping lanes reduce speed to one quarter impulse. What is your navigational status, will you need a tow?"
She turned to the Helm officer, "Lt Hound, Ssstarrr Bassse 23334 requiresss inforrrmmmation on your ssstatusss and if you will need a tow?" She looked at him waiting for his response.

Buford can sense new officer is annoyed at him,most likely over his response to the purring, he laughs to him self he never heard Grab Foot purr before
he hears the new officer say "Lt Hound, Ssstarrr Bassse 23334 requiresss inforrrmmmation on your ssstatusss and if you will need a tow
"I can dock the bird Navigation is working fine" he replies after she relays the message "What should I call y'all I reckon y'all would not like Kitty" he says guides the ship to the shipping lane

When she heard his remark on calling her Kitty she became angry. Her tail began to lash and her ears went back slightly.
"SsstarBassse, navigation rrreporrrtsss he will not rrrequire a tow."
"Very well, proceed to docking bay, Alpha bay 2, docking ring 1. Bring her in at one quarter impulse once you've reached the end of the shipping lanes."
"Aye sssirrr."
She turns her head to face the dog. "You arrre to prrroceed to the bassse at one quarrrterrr immmplussse after rrreaching the end of the ssshiping lanesss. Go to docking ring 1, Alpha bay 2."
"You can call mmme Kitty, if, you would like a demmmonssstrrration of mmmy hunnnting ssskillsss and how I can play with mmmy prey after itsss caught and I'm borrred." Her tail was lashing slightly less then before.
She normally ingored such remarks, but from an unknown Canine. That was not likely to happen in this life time.

Buford hears her say ""You arrre to prrroceed to the bassse at one quarrrterrr immmplussse after rrreaching the end of the ssshiping lanesss. Go to docking ring 1, Alpha bay 2."
He enters the shipping lane and drops to on quarter impulse and heads for the station
He can sense the Officer is mad even before she says "You can call mmme Kitty, if, you would like a demmmonssstrrration of mmmy hunnnting ssskillsss and how I can play with mmmy prey after itsss caught and I'm borrred."
Buford shakes his head "I reckon if you will not tell me your Dog Gone *name or rank* I'm reckoning I'll just have to call you *Kitty*" he says
