ST NPC01: Welcome back everyone. As we begin tonight the Aryes is speed back toward Earth at the request of Starfleet command. Now that the ship has lost both its commanding officers and was nearly comandeered by an inter-dimensional double, as well as a string of other questionable command decisions, the USS Aryes is being recalled.
ST NPC01: As we begin tonight the senior staff is gathered in the Ready Room. On the viewscreen in Rear Admiral Harold Franklin Kennedy, a sector commander and head of Starfleet's internal affairs investigations. He is debriefing the Aryes crew on the events of the past few months in anticpation of the formal hearing to follow on Earth.
ST NPC01: Currently, Major Greathouse is the commanding officer of the Aryes.
ST NPC01: Are there any questions?
Clydegreathous: No Sir
cindyleemckenzie: No Sir
Marshal Collins: No sir
AidanMcKenzie1: May I inquire who the AXO is, sir?
ST NPC01: Being as that I am just an incorporeal voice you do not need to address me as "sir."
AidanMcKenzie1: ::drops the sir::
ST NPC01: And the AXO for the time being is Lieutenant Collins
AidanMcKenzie1: ::nods::
ST NPC01: If there are no other questions.
ST NPC01: =====BEGIN SIM=====
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Marshal shifts in his chair around the conference table as he faces the viewscreen and what is to come.::
Clydegreathous: ACO>::SItting in the ready room::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::in the ready room, seated, nursing a still tender wrist::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Sitting by her husban::
ST NPC01: ACTION>The monitor comes to life to show the face of Admiral Kennedy, looking stern as ever.
Clydegreathous: ACO> Adml> Adml Sir ::nods::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::looks to the stern admiral, absent-mindedly rubbing his wrist::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::looks at the Screen::
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADml> I am acting Commanding Officer Major Clyde Greathouse this is my AXO ::points to Collins::
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy>ACO> Major Greathouse. Why don't you start by explaining how in the course of only a few months, the Aryes has lost two command personnel?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>Hi... sir :raises his hand.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::glance at Collins for a moment::
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> ::Eyes dart to Collins and away.:: well, major?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Shrugs at Aidan.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::whispers to Collins:: CSCI > I think you been around me too much ::smirks::
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> We went to a romulan ship things went wrong the CO was trapped when it warped off
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> And little green men from Mars Colony came and spirited them away? It that it? ::Scowls::
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> THey were not little green men, latter a mirror CO pretend to be our CO
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::looks back to the screen:: Adm > Little green men? ::chuckles::
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> THe XO Kiele help us get the ship back then chocie to go with the blue hand to the mirror
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> It is all in the report I sent in
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::adds:: Adm > I tried to save her but failed, sir
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> If you need info om the weapon you will have to ask AXO that he worked on it
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> Yes, yes, I received the report..::Waves a dismissive hand:: Nothing in it excuses what I can only classify as marked imcompetance. One commander is lost by force, another by choice. What next?
KieleChristienne: The whole damned command staff takes leave on Risa and disappears?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::ponders that:: Adm > That's an idea.. a vacation.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>With all due respect, Admiral. We saved the Aryes, and we wouldn't have been able to do it without the diecisions of Lieutenant Colonel Christienne, her final decision not withstanding.
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> We did a good job with this ship, Sir.
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> CSCI> You are not here to defend the actions of Colonel Christienne.::Turns back to Greathouse:: You will suspend your investigation and search for Captain Shran..
KieleChristienne: You and the Aryes are ordered to retrun to Earth, pending a formal investigation .
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> Yes Sir right away
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>Sir, may I ask for how long we are to suspend our search for Captain Shran? You mean till after the formal hearing right?
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> ::Raising an eyebrow::CSCI> I mean permanently. Starfleet Internal Affairs has officially classified Captain Shran as Missing In Action.
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> They normaly Do
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>ADM> What!
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > NOIP > Missing in action until we find him again
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>We can't just abandon him. The imposter Shran revealed another clue. It could lead us to the Captain.
Clydegreathous: ACO>ALL> We will return to Earth as Orderd
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > We've lost and found the captain many times before. We'll meet him again
Clydegreathous: ACO>TAC> Yes we have but he would not want us violating orders
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > Of course not. I don't recall me saying we should
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> You'll do as ordered Major, lieutenant. Clues notwithstanding. Starfleet will not assign Ayres to another wild goose chase.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Sits silently, stewing::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::turns to the Admiral:: Adm > we're coming already. Keep your air on
Clydegreathous: ACO>ADM> As soon as your done we will head back
KieleChristienne: Adm Kennedy> ACO> See to it there are no more "delays" from either Martians or Mirrors. Kennedy out! ::Cuts the comm::
Clydegreathous: ACO>ALL> Dissmissed ::Gets up and lets the other leave::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>The Captain is till out there and we can find him.
Clydegreathous: ACO>CSCI> Take your station
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Stands but does not leave.::ACO>I'm sorry Clyde but this too important. I won't let it rest. We have a new clue, Jenkins Hill
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSci > We'll find him when the time is right ::leaves and goes back to his station::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>That imposter said that while he was drugged the captain kept repeating it over and over again to him. If we can figure out what Jenkins Hill means maybe we can figure out something more.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Leaves::
Clydegreathous: ACO>:;looks at CSCI:: CSCI> Get to your station now
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > :mutters under his breath as Collins seem to ignore him::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> I can't belive hes not going after him
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::looks To Collins:: CSCI > We have our orders. We will find him when the time is right..
Clydegreathous: ACO>CSCI> Now lets go ::exits to the bridge::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>The least we owe the Captain is to try and figure this out. We don't know how long we have. ::he exits the brige..:: ACO>And know that I am obeying you because I want to, not because you have 40 kilos on me.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::about had it with Collins.:: ACO > do you need me or can I go to the lounge and kill a pint
Clydegreathous: ACO>::Takes center seat::TAC> Take helm course Jenkins Hill maxum Warpo
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>I hope so Aidan.
Clydegreathous: ACO>ALL> You are following my orders when things go down I'm to blame got it
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > NOIP > so much for killing a pint ::turns and heads for helm, setting course and speed:: ACO > ready... set...
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>Clyde, there is no planet named Jenkins Hill. I checked already
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>TAC> Earth
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> Find Jenkins Hill for me before we get to earth
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > So we going to earth or this Jenkins Hill place?
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>Tac> Earth warp 3 we have enginee problem
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > Gotcha ::changes course and speed:: course and speed entered. Ready to get underway
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>TAC> Make it so
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>::Checks the compute again.:: There are twenty-eight townships, six counties, and four regions with similar names, Most are on Earth, but there are some on Mars and other human colonies, as well.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > you know, you always sounded like a Captain I used to watch ::said as he tapped the engage key::
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> cross refrence with ANdorian names near it
AidanMcKenzie1: always -> almost
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>"Ke'li Jenkins," Jenkins is a formal name, and doesn't translate. I have no hits.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>TAC> I hope he was good CSCI> Some how I think its not on a star chart
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> Ke'li
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > Depends on who ya ask. He was well liked but there are some who hated him
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>It means hill or mound. Its too general the computer can't narrow anything down.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> Andorian word
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>TAC> Sounds like my Family
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO > I guess so, sir
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> You sure its not Kiele
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>Yes, but the captain didn't say Jenkins Ke'li. He said Jenkins Hill. Maybe if we narrow the search down by time.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> were is Kiele from on earth?
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>CSCI> Cross refrence her name to jinkens hill.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>Colonel Christienne is from Kauai, Earth, but any references to Jenkins Hill on Earth are usually centered around the North Eastern part of the North American continent.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ACO, CSCI > Sounds like Oregon or Washington
AidanMcKenzie1: ( wrong area.. )
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>::SLaps his head:: ALL> How stupid Captiol Hill in the old Washington DC was called Jenkiens Hill
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he merely nodded without comment::
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>ALL> Well its a start
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACO>::Laughs::ALL> Be like him hiding the Congress House
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ACO>That would make sense, taking into account any time difference between the past and the present, but that must nhave been almost six hundred years ago... It shouldn't be to hard to check out anyway. Capitol Hill is a museum now.
Clydegreathous: AXO>CSCI> Yes it is TAC> Earth best speed put us over Wasghton D.C.

Shran113: Excellent
Shran113: We pick up our story a few days later. The Aryes has arrived on Earth so that the senior crew may attend the hearing in regards to the actions they have undertaken over the past several months in the absence of Shran.
Shran113: Secretly though, the crew also has the secondary directive to investigate the old Capitol Hill Museum located in Washington DC in North America, due to a crytpic message given by Shran's mirror counterpart, Jenkins Hill... the pre-Revolutionary War name for Capitol Hill.
Shran113: But first there is a matter of the official hearing that will take place at Starfleet Headquarters
Shran113: Internal Affairs Director Rear Admiral Harold Kennedy will preside along with Judge Advocate General's Commander Helen Grace.
Shran113: I would also like to introduce Ensign Sean Riker who will be the attache to Commander Grace for tonight
Shran113: Are there any questions
Marshal Collins: No
CmdrHelenGrace: ::Smacks the podium with the flat of her hand:: Order!
Aidan McKenzie: ::starts to raise his hand but then lowers it again::
ZeelaPeers: ::AA::
Shran113: As we open you are all in the courtroom seated. The hearing is about to begin.
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
ZeelaPeers: CENG>:::Putting on her dress uniform and thinkiing it may be the last time::
Tarkel London: *sliding into the back of the room to casually observe the proceedings*
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::seated quietly, for a change, in the audence seats of the court room::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::She makes her way to the courtroom looking at the officer and feeling appropriately intimidated. She will not look at her fellow Aryes crew::
ST NPC01: RADM>ALL>Thank you all for coming. I hope we can get this matter straightened out in due time.
ST NPC01: RADM>ALL>The crew of the Aryes. You stand accused of dereliction of duty, knowingly aiding a transdimensional being, as well as the questionable judgement you have shown in the wake of the disappearance of Captain Thy'lek Shran. How do you all respond?
CmdrHelenGrace: ::Sitting at the table along with the Admiral, a padd in hand, scanning her notes.::
Sean Riker: :sitting near them taking notes::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::She stands first fighting the lump in her throat:: RADM> Sir, I stand guilty as accussed.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > RADM > Dere-what? I dont even know the meaning of the word. I did the best I can trying to find Mr Blue.. I mean Captain Shran
Tarkel London: HELM>* glances left and right having pulled almost four months of leave and atthe moment totally unaware of the charges and the proceedings shrugging having not reviewed the logs looking for a face he happens ot be missing in the sea of faces and voices*
ST NPC01: RADM>TAC>Yes, Mr. McKenzie, Starfleet has a long list the words you do not know the meaning of.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > RADm > So how can I be guilty of them if I dont know the meanin' of them?
CmdrHelenGrace: >Tac> You have heard the saying, "Ignornace of the law is no excuse" Mr.McKenzie?
ST NPC01: RADM>Let's start from the beginning... How is it that Lieutenant Colonel Kiele Christienne, a decorated Marine officer, defected with this "Supreme General" Shran and you are telling me that none of you were aware of her iniminent betrayal?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > RADM > Betrayal my foot. She didn't want to go but felt she had to, to protect us
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TAC> Lieutenant, thats not true.
ST NPC01: RADM>CENG>Please proceed, Lieutenant.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::looks at Zeela:: CENG > you weren't there. I saw it in her eyes.
ST NPC01: RADM>TAC>Mr. McKenzie, if you talk out of order again, I will have Ensign Riker escort oyu from this room... proceed, Lieutenant Peers
ZeelaPeers: RADM>CENG> The rigors of command had begun to take its toll on the Colonel. She was too quick to accept the Supreme General as our Captain and did willingly hand him over the command codes to Aryes on sight.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TAC> And tell me that was not true. :::Gives him a dark look:::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CENG > It's not true ::he then looks to the RADM, muttering a few choice words::
ST NPC01: RADM>::he nods.::CSCI>Lieutenant Collins as acting first officer, what were your observations.
Tarkel London: HELM>* smirking to himself with his eyes closed focusing his energy on the emotions of the crewmen around him the atmosphere and the mood. assured taht if anyone asks he simpley was notthere *
Marshal Collins: CSCI>RADM>Honestly, sir, during the tenure of Colonel Christienne's command I was not present on the bridge much. I spent a lot of time in a lab investigating the disappearance of Captain Shran, but I do know Zee... Lieutenant Peers had her suspicions from the beginning, and it turns out she was dead on.
CmdrHelenGrace: ::Consulting her notes::Lieutenant McKenzie, you were quick to support General Shran as well taking a position as his Aide and reporting on the activities of the rest of the crew.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::looks to the woman who spoke:: helen > yeah, that's true. you expect me to go against a person who I thought was my captian?
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TAC> We expect you to act like an officer and not follow along blindly. Star fleet doesnt' make mindless soldiers they build officer who one day may command themselves.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::glances at "Zee" CENG > Duh, I know that. That's what i was trying to do. I didn't know there was something funny going on until the doc was brigged
CmdrHelenGrace: Tac> Did it not occur to you that your captain had never before needed an Aide and the request he made of you would have been quite ubusual? But as I undertand it, you not only took the position you used it to intimidate
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TAC> So all the times *I* came and told you something was wrong, that meant nothing because we all know by evidence the the Colonel has all the answers doesnt' she?
Tarkel London: HELM> listening running the events over in his mind hearing all the cross talk and sideways chatter smirking a little as they spoke *
ST NPC01: RADM>ALL>Order, order. One at a time.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CENG > I know what you told me but I was stubborn. I am sorry. ::to helen > Unusual yes, but I thought he was starting to respect me as an officer instead of thinking I was a dumb human that accidently ended up on his ship
CmdrHelenGrace: Tac> and that goves you liscense to fire a weapon at your fellow officers? Sci> Is this not correct Lt.Collins?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Grace > Hey, that was self defence. I was fired at first
ST NPC01: RADM>TAC>You will get you chance to speak. Allow Lieutenant Collins his.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CMDR>That's not totally true, ma'am. I mean tempers were running high, but certainly circumstance had put us all on edge.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::grumbles but nods at the RADM::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CMDR>It could have easily been someone else.
CmdrHelenGrace: Tac> My report shows you as the instigator, lieutanant. I will allow you the opportunity to refute that claim, later.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::gives a look to Helen saying he will definately be refuting that::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Turns to Collins with a stern look:: CSCI> Don't you cover for him. You know damn well you were unarmed
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>::Shrugs, not knowing what to do.::
CmdrHelenGrace: Were there no recordings made on the bridge at that time? Have they not been entered in this court as evidence?
Sean Riker: ASST>HELEN>Commander they have been entered as evidance c
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Helen > I was not the instigator. I was trying to get progress reports like normal and Clyde has to open his big mouth
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ALL > I reached for, but did not draw, my phaser. Clyde, he drew and fired. I fired in self defense
Tarkel London: HELM>CSCI> *smirks atthe science officer his hand raised to acknowledge his confusion and to provide a comforting feeling ot lossen the environment some pretty well already having the whole confusion thought thru jsut waiting for his popprotunity to attemptto defend his crewmen and their actions after hearing all availavle information.
ST NPC01: RADM>TAC>Mr. McKenzie, even if your firing on Major Greathouse was with provocation... and that is still in dispute... your firing on Lieutenant Collins was clearly not. He was unarmed and only trying to calm you down.
ST NPC01: RADM>TAC>The recordings show that much
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > RADM > I'll admit, i didnt mean to fire at Collins. My aim was off
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TAC> I've seen the records too. You don't stun someone and tell them to 'shut up' on accident.
ST NPC01: RADM>CENG>Lieutenant, await your turn to speak.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CENG > well, it is one way to shut someone up, is it not? ::smirk::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Leans over and gives Aidan a dark look.::
Tarkel London: HELM>TAC>~pushing your luck a little don;t ya think pal?~
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::shakes his head, looking at Tarkel:: Helm > Thank you but stay out of my head
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TAC> You know you act as if this is some 'big joke'. What you did endangered lives, and there is nothing you can say that will justify that.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::ignores the look from Collins, he turns to Helen, but then to Zee he says:: CENG > How can stun endanger someone's life?
CmdrHelenGrace: Tac> Enough lieutenant! ensign riker, escort McKenzie to the outer officer. We will hear his testimony later as he can not remember to speak only when he is addresssed by the court.
Sean Riker: Assit>Adm> aye sir ::gets up and walks over to Adian::Lt if you please this way
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::looks like he wants to protest but then shrugs, walking toward the exit::
Tarkel London: HELM>* just shoots Aiden that knowing look his darkeyes finally opening before closing again*
Sean Riker: Assit>::walks behind hem escorting him to outer office::
ST NPC01: RADM>ALL>I think we have heard enough for today. This court will be in recess till tomorrow, when Major Greathouse will join us.

Shran113: Excellent. Tonight we will continue with our time on Earth. The hearing has been adjourned for the day and will resume tomorrow. Now there are other matters that need investigating. The last clue dropped in the search for Shran was Jenkins Hill, or Capitol Hill in Washington DC in North America. Who would like to visit Capitol Hill Museum to investigate? If not you are free to explore Earth as you wish.
Marshal Collins: I'm in
Clydegreathous: I'm in
Aidan McKenzie: I'll go explorin', since I see to be the black sheep of the ship at the mo..
Aidan McKenzie: seem
Shran113: Well, if you do choose to do so, we will begin the sim with the party assembled and taking the tour of the old Capitol Hill Building. The tour is conducted with a holographic tour guide.
cindyleemckenzie: I'll exsplore
ZeelaPeers: I shall endeavor to return the 'true' Commander to Aryes.
Shran113: Excellent
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Looking around::
ST NPC01: TOUR>::The attractive holographic women walks slowly as she talks.:: ALL>As you can see this is the area of Capitol Hill that used to be called the Rotunda. Now most of the original structure was destroyed in Earth's Third World War, but it has been painstakingly recreated for the museum.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Looks for clues as to were Shran might be at::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>MCO>Okay so we are at "Jenkins Hill." What do you suggest?
Clydegreathous: MCO>CSCI> Keep eyes out for clues he'll leave some

As you walk maybe you can notice the detail of the walls. They are painted in both current and historic scenes that represent the old nation-state, the United States of America.

Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > yeah. just think, all this is a huge volcano that can blow at any time
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Looks at the painting::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Hopefuly not with us on it
ZeelaPeers: CENG>CSCI> I am searching for a clue to the mystery Lieutenant Marshall, I suggest you do the same. :::She looks at the picture trying to see if she noticed anything strange::
ST NPC01: TOUR>ALL>The United States of US ceased to exist in the run-up to the Third World War. Now much of this building was destroyed in that terrible war. What you se ebefore you is merely replica, with only the foundation of the building left as the only original stone of the old Capitol Hill.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Looks at a painting of the hill before the captail::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > I doubt it. We would have some warning before she pops her cork.. besides, the explosion would be so huge, people in the alpha century system should see it
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>Okay, sorry I asked. ::Goes back to his tricorder readings.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>CSCI> Check the old foundation
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> That big
ST NPC01: TOUR>MCO>I am sorry, sir did you have a question?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::shakes his head:: This isn't a volcano. Mt Saint helens is a volcano, Mount Vesuvious (sp) is a valcano. This ::points into the valley:: is a Super volcano
Clydegreathous: MCO>Tour> the old foudation is were
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> I hope it never blows its top
ST NPC01: TOUR>MCO>The foundation can be accessed through the Capitol Crypt down that stairway. There is a marvelous exhibit on the congressional process of the Old United States. ::She points through a large stone archway.
Clydegreathous: MCO>Tour> Is it on our tour

cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Well it had a good life ::she giggles::
ST NPC01: TOUR>No, but you are free to come and go as you please. We only ask that you do not pass into restricted or unsafe areas and do not touch the exhibits.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > last erution was around 75,000 years ago.. and I've heard she is due again to blow, even back when i came from.. so I think she is overdue by now

Shran113: ACTION>Peers steps downstairs onto another museum floor with display cases and artifacts from the past.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Must be a woman
Clydegreathous: MCO>CSCI> CEng is perrty ticked aint she
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::chuckles:: CNS > Yeah, must be. Who but a woman would blow her stack and destroy everything? ::grins playfully::
ST NPC01: TOUR2>CENG>Excuse me miss, ::noticing her as she is tracing the stone.:: Is there something particular you are looking for?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> So true and it appears human aint ticked off bad enough
Marshal Collins: CSCI>MCO>I've seen her mad, heck, she's been mad at me plenty of times... this is something more.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Normally Zeela's curiousity and love of history would have had her joyfully curious but instead she is purely focused on one thing:: TOUR> You said we were able to look where we wished the real history is the foundation so that is where I'm going.
Clydegreathous: MCO>CSCI> Maybe you should talk to her
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > That's surprising. must be cause I havent been around enough ::chuckles::
ST NPC01: TOUR2>CENG>You certainly are, I was just tyring to help facilitate your search for knowledge. I can understand how you can be confused. All of us tour guides look the same. You would think our programmers could have come up with a few variable appearances... I suppose it could be worse. We could all look like Martha Washingtons
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> You always make up for it ::kisses him::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TOUR> Or George Washington.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::kisses her back:: CNS > yeah, after i get myself into so much trouble i can barely get out..
Clydegreathous: MCO>Toure> Is this the real deal
Marshal Collins: CSCI>MCO>I will, but I think she needs time. ::His tricorder beeps for a secon and he takes it out.:: MCO>That's strange it registered something for a moment, but I couldn't cath what. Maybe we should follow Zee to the lower levels. Maybe the signal will get stronger with less mason between us.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Its all right honey
Clydegreathous: MCO>CSCI> Sounds good lets go
ST NPC01: TOUR2>CENG>::Smiles.:: Is there something I can help you find?
ZeelaPeers: CENG>:::takes out a tricorder of her own and notices a strong signal herself:: thinks 'Score one for the junior officer.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He heads toward the lower levels.::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > I just hope it will be
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TOUR> I came with others go find them and bring them here.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::follows::
ZeelaPeers: CENG> ::-D oesn't break her stride::
Shran113: ACTION>The holographic guid simply nods as Lieutenant Peers wanders away following a faint garbled signal on her tricorder. It brings her to wrought iron gates at the far end of the crypt level
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Do you think I would let you get in to much trouble
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Looks at the gate:: NOIP> Hmm. this won't do.
ST NPC01: TOUR2>::She walks away several paces before turning back and meeting Peers at the wrought iron gates.::CENG>I do not know what these "others" look like?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > intentionally, no, but as you know, i have been thrown in the brig, twice, stunned at least twice, killed about 3 times and i have travelled through time more times then i can count
ZeelaPeers: CENG>Tour2> Open this gate.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::As he steps into the crypt level his tricroder also picks up the faint garbled signal again.::MCO>I think I've got something. ::He begins to follow it.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>::follows with him::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Its not all bad you have me and the girls
ST NPC01: TOUR2>CENG>That leads to the Tomb of George Washington a level below us. It is part of the original building and off limits... Interesting fact, it was built to house the remains of George Washington, but the tomb itself remains empty as Washington was interred in Mount Vernon.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > Of course, i have you and the girls and I wouldn't change it for anything in the galaxy..
ZeelaPeers: CENG>TOUR2> I already know that and if youcan't help me go. Deactivate hologram.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Shes smiles:: Tac> You could change them once in a while
ST NPC01: TOUR2>CENG>That's not how... ::The hologram deactivates and fades out of sight.::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > I do change them when i am not on duty or getting into trouble
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He spots Zeela by the wrought iron fence.::CENG>I guess we all followed the same bread crumb.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>CENG> Why so mean
cindyleemckenzie: CNS> TAC> You ok I was joking dear
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Ignores Marshall for the moment. Major Greathouse you are good for 'shooting things' I"m sure that either you or Lieutenant McKenzie brought a side arm correct?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > of course I'm ok. why wouldn't I be? ::smiles at her::
Clydegreathous: MCO>CENG> I'm alway armmed
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>Zee, Clyde's not that stupid. We are on reprimand as it is do you think he would come to the capitol planet of the UF ar... MCO>What?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Good ::takes his hand::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>MCO> Then blast that gate open we need to get on the other side.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Looks around then moves close to the gate and spin kicks landing a huge foot on the gate::
Shran113: ACTION>Greathouse foot impact against the forcefield in front of the wrought iron gate and bounces harmlessly off
Clydegreathous: MCO> CENG>CSCI> Stand back force filed pull a phaser you didn't see that adjust the beam and fires::
Shran113: ACTION>The phaser disables the forcefield and knocks open the iron gates. Immedieatly an alarm begins to sound in the distance.
Clydegreathous: MCO>CENG>CSCI> Run I'll hold them off
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > ::holding hands with Cindy:: CNS > Still, I can imagine the explosion of this super volcano would be pretty awesome
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Ignorest the arlarms and walks beyond the gate with a swift pace:::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> Yes it would be
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He takes off after Zeela.:: NOIP>Well if you can't beat'em... rob a museum
Clydegreathous: MCO>CSCI> Keep her safe
Marshal Collins: CSCI>MCO>I will
Shran113: ACTION>Several security guards appraoch the source of the alarm and the very alarming looking Clyde Greathouse.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Pulls the gate closed
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::grins:: CNS > I wonder if I can be here to witness when she finally does blow..
ST NPC01: GUARD>MCO>Clear the way and tell us what you are doing here?
ZeelaPeers: CENG>:::Continues to follow the signal::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Continues to follow Zeela.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>GUrad> what a cheep force filed my phase was on the lowest stun setting and it open the gate
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guard> Weres your suppier at
Shran113: ACTION>Peers and Collins arrive at the Tomb of Washington. The catacombs themselves are in shambles and crumbling. In the middle of a small alcove stands an old looking stone coffin on a stone base. The singal is coming strongest from there.
ST NPC01: GUARD>MCO>This is a museum. That forcefield was only meant to keep intruders out of the dangerous parts of the building. We don't have anything worth of any value to steal. Now get out of our way so we can save whoever was foolish enough to go down there.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CNS > you think we should be heading back to washington DC. Knowing Clyde, he'll made a mess of things and beat up half of washington ::chuckles::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Stops:: NOIP> Put my career on the line on the word of an Andorian pirate and despot. This better be worth it.
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guard> No one went down their
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>Should we open it? ::He motions to the coffin.::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>CSCI> Unless you can see through it and tell me what is there yes.
ST NPC01: GUARD>MCO>Our sensors indicated that two humans entered the catacombs. Now get out of our way or we will have to use force.
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guard> I would not let one persone down their
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guards> You have phasers
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He braces himself against the heavy lid.::NOIP>Geez, I thought I was supposed to be the sarcastic one... CENG>Want to help?
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Starts trying to slide the top off :: CSCI> As I weight practically nothing, yes!
ST NPC01: GUARD>MCO>Of course not... again this is a museum. Why would we need phasers? ::He rushes at Clyde with three other guards.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Grabs them and throws them agint the wall::
Shran113: ACTION>The coffin lid slides enough that light shines onto the inside of the stone container revealing the secrets inside, nothing. The coffin is empty.
ST NPC01: GUARDS>::Two gaurds try to wrestle Clyde to the ground as their comrades are thrown off. One manages to dislodge the phaser from his grasp.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Works his neck as he peeks in.::CENG>That was anti-climatic.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guards> Ok I'll move
ZeelaPeers: CENG>CSCI> There is something down here or our tricorders would not have lead us here.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Moves a side::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>But where?
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Kneels down:: CSCI>Collins down here, look.
ST NPC01: GUARDS>::Two hold down Clyde, while three more begin to head to the catacombs.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Kneels.::CENG>What is it?
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guards> I think we should go with them
ZeelaPeers: CENG>:::moves her hand over the symbol:: CSCI>::Look at the square compass its a masonic symbol.
ST NPC01: GUARDS>MCO>Not you. You stay right here. Someone from Starfleet is apparently looking for you.
Shran113: ACTION>As Zeela Peers moves her hand over the raised engraving of the Square and Compass there is a click and the front panel of the stone base pops off.
Clydegreathous: MCO>GUards> Suite your self ::lifts them up and walks down the corodior::
ST NPC01: GUARD>MCO>Wait! HELP! ::The hang on for dear life.::
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guards> So how long you worked here
ZeelaPeers: CENG>She picks up the panel:: CSCI>Apparently, we have another clue.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Notices the signal changes on his tricorder as the interference is removed and the signal clears up.::NOIP>No way
ZeelaPeers: CENG>CSCI> What are you reading?
Shran113: ACTION>Beneatht the panel in a small false compartment is a dusty and dingy relic, but very recognizable. It is a Starfleet Commbadge.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>Shran's commbadge signal.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>CSCI> So now we have two questions: One. How did the captains comm badge get into this tomb, and when did he join the Free Masons?
ST NPC01: GUARDS>CENG>CSCI>Hold it right there. In the name of Earth Security we order you to stop and leave this area immedieatly!
Clydegreathous: MCO>Guards>Hey these two got scared
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He picks up the badge, but then stands as the guards appear.:: CENG>I hope we get a chance to answer those questions.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>Guards> Lieutenant Junior Grade Zeela Peers. I need to speak to your superiors. There's has been an archeological discovery.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>:::Whispers:: CSCI> This is how grownups handle problems.
ST NPC01: GUARDS>CENG>Return with us to the main levels.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>Guards> Thank you.
Clydegreathous: MCO>::Sets the guards he carried down:: You two are walking back
Shran113: ACTION>The group is led to the topside level and back into the Capitol Rotunda. There waiting for them is the museum manager and Commander Helen Grace with two members of Starfleet Security
CmdrHelenGrace: JAG>::s\Stands glaring at the group with an icy expression.:: Your actions will not reflect well at the hearing.
Shran113: =====PAUSE SIM=====

[Captain Shran]

Shran113: ATTENTION
Marshal Collins: ::AA::
Aidan McKenzie: ::AA::
CmdrHelenGrace: ::AA::
Shran113: For the record state your name rank and position
CmdrHelenGrace: JAG>Cmdr Helen Grace
Marshal Collins: CSCI>Marshal Collins
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Lt Aidan Mckenzie
ZeelaPeers: CENG>Lieutenant JG Zeela Peers
Shran113: Tonight the crew of the Aryes is back in front of Admiral Kennedy and the reviewing board. their current infraction not-withstanding there is still much to discuss.
Shran113: Are there any questions?
Marshal Collins: No, sir
Aidan McKenzie: No, sir
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>Tell me. What do you ahve to say to these newest charges: Breaking and entering, damaging artifacts in a museum, and assaulting security personnel?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ADM > I wasn't around to commit these charges, sir
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>I understand they look bad in printed form, but really by our standards those charges are pretty minor. ::he gives a nervous laugh.::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::glances toward Collins with a raised brow:: CSCI > Minor?
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>All> Is this how you conduct yourselves on board your ship as well? Throwing aside the rules when they don't suit your purposes?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>emeberray uoyay hotsay emay?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::blinks at Collins, then realizing he was trying to speak pig latin. he turned back to the lady JAG:: Grace > Ma'am, i wasn't there
ZeelaPeers: CENG> ::Arms folded in front of her waiting to see what they have to say::
ST NPC01: ADM>CSI>Lieutenant, we speak pig-latin. Now if someone will please answer the Commander's question.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>JAG>I just mean to say that the crew of the Aryes tends to be unorthodox in our way of handling situations, and in the way we present ourselves, but out results often speak for themselves.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>CSCI> What results?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::whispers.::CENG>Whose side are you on?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::shakes his head:: NOIP > and here I thought I was the only one to get into trouble like this
CmdrHelenGrace: Gracw> Well said indeed, lieutenant. So the end justifies the means, does it? ::Coldly::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Turns to him and gets close to him::: Believe it or not I'm on your side. I would like you to remember what it was like to be an officer in this fleet and not a character from a movie.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CENG>I'm a little hurt by that, but we'll talk about it later. JAG>Commander, we suceeded in removing the mirror double Shran form the ship, we have stopped time anomolies, Romulan plots, uncovered borg technology, rescued sick and injured, and even negotiated treaties in my tenure with this crew. You cannot forget the good, just because of the bad?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > JAG > yeah.. what he said
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Steps forward:: JAG> Ma'am, may I be allowed to speak
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>That is not what you're asking.You wish us to forgive the bad because the result, ultimately, was good. Have you heard of the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree,lieutenant?
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>Yes, Lieutenant Peers?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::turns and looks at Peers as she requested to speak::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>JAG> Ma'am, I agree with Lieutenant Collins to a degree. The Aryes crew has done excellent work while Captain Shran ran ship. I Just think that we lost our way. ::-D irects this last bit at Collins:: Every commander or officer at some point in his career has to play things 'fast and loose' Its the willingness to take those chances that greatness comes from. I just think that 'fast and loose' became the rule and not the exception.
ST NPC01: ADM>CENG>Interesting hypothesis, Lieutenant Peers, but you seem to only be making our point for us.
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>CENG> Fast and losse as you describe it, is never aceeptable as a command method, lieutenant, even when risks must be taken, they must be thoughtfully considered not executed with cavlier intentions.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>GRACE> I agree ma'am and it was more a figure of speech.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::he steps forward:: JAG > Your honor, I have a comment for that, if I may share it?
ST NPC01: ADM>TAC>Go ahead Lieutenant
CmdrHelenGrace: JAG> You, Mr Mckenzie have more to prove that most others. You were recently promoted I believe and yet your knowlege of Federation policies and Starfleet regulations has not progressed in kind.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > JAG, ADM > Granted, Risks must be taken and need to be thought out before being executed, but often times, Time could be of the essence and time for thought may not be there. Someting taking action on the fly gets the job done. The results may be less then stellar but the job is done
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > JAG > Considering when i just came from and the fact that I never went to school here, or the Academy, i think I am doing rather well
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>Tac> as the admiral said..you make our point for us.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > JAG > Yes, I heard
ST NPC01: ADM>TAC>I see, Mr. McKenzie... is that why on Stardate 21056.7 you opened fire on an lightly armed mining vessel nearly destroying it while in orbit over Rahl IV... I believe that was the same planet where Mr. Greathouse unprovoked, killed a miner with a phaser set on kill.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ADM > With all due respect, Admiral, I had just arrived in the middle of that situation. I had been palced at the Tactical postion with no knowledge of what to do. Once the Captain realized this, i was reassigned and was asked to learn the position, study, in other words
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>::Continues checking his records.:: That action along with the aforemention infraction committed Mr. Greathouse resulted in your commanding officer losing his command. That was followed a few months later by the death of your new CO Commodore Trent Williams... the escape and recapture of Dr. James Almass one of the Federations most notorious criminals by the Aryes crew, the incident on Abin III, which Lieutenant Collins shares a little more than the blame for, and most recently your blatant disregard for the Prime Directive on Capella IV
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>Arew these the result you are talking about?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>No is not saying we haven't made mistakes, but who hasn't?
ZeelaPeers: CENG>:::Folds her arms and waits::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ADM > Those incidents occured during my.. let's just say I was off the bridge
ZeelaPeers: CENG>::Shakes her head no to Collins as if to let him know to stop talking::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Puts his head down.::
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>At least Lieutenant Collins has the capcity for shame.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Grace > I like to think I do too. I'll agree, we all make mistakes. After all, we're only human... oid
ST NPC01: ADM>TAC>Mr. McKenzie, you are always so intent on trying to save yourself that you shift the blame for everything on the rest of your crew... maybe it was unwise for us to allow a person from the early 21st Century to have a commission in Starfleet. It was afterall one of the most decadent and self-involved time periods of this planet's recent history.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ADM > I what..? Who's putting blame on who? If I done it, then i'll admit it. If I havent done it, than why admit something that you haven't done?
ST NPC01: ADM>TAC>You are a crew. You rise and fall together. That is what it means to serve in Starfleet. That is what it means to serve onboard a starship.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Adm > That's sort of obvious. Something I am learning and I know things can't be learned overnight
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>Tac> You do not learn them at the expense of others, lieutenant.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Grace > Another things that is quite obvious, ,ma'am
Aidan McKenzie: thing
ST NPC01: ADM>TAC>Silence, Lieutenant. ALL>It seems very clear to me that the Aryes crew has done some great services for Starfleet. Not the least of which was uncovering and quelling a seperatist plot on Andoria. You have the potential to be a great crew, but you are unfocused. For some reason Captain Shran seems to be one of the only people who can get results from this crew.
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>With that said, your search for Shran has proven fruitless. You are no closer to finding him today than you were when he disappeared so many months ago. I am officially calling off the search for your missing captain.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Adm > No way!
Marshal Collins: CSCI>ADM>You can't do that!
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>Order!
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > Adm > ::smirks:: I'll have a cheese birger with fries
ZeelaPeers: CENG>ADM> Sir, may I be permitted to speak?
ST NPC01: ADM>CENG>Yes, Lieutenant. ::He looks glaringly at Aidan.::
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>All> I have no doubt however, that given the opportunity you will disregard this order as freely as you do others.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::looks a bit sheepish under the admiral's glare::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>ADM> Sir, though our efforts brought trouble to this crew we did find one clue as to the whereabouts of Captain Shran..
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > :: turns and smiles at Grace, with a look asking Would we do that? ::
ST NPC01: ADM>CENG>Yes, his commbadge, locked in a secret compartment for 1789. Starfleet Science will study the artifact and conduct an indepent survey of the matter. The Aryes crew has proven that they are too close to this matter. As Commander Grace has brought up we are under no illusions that the Aryes under Major Greathouse will not simply disregard our directive given the first chance.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::mutters:: self > you aren't just whistlin' dixie..
ZeelaPeers: CENG>ADM> I meant no disrespect Admiral and this officer would welcome any changes that would be benificial to the crew.
ST NPC01: ADM>CENG>Good. ALL>That is why the USS Aryes will no longer be under the command of Major Clyde Greathouse, but your new commanding officer. Commander Helen Grace.
ST NPC01: ADM>JAG>You have wanted this transfer for sometime, Commander. I hope it does not disappoint.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::blinks and eyes widen:: Adm, JAG > Hey now, let's not be too hasty
ST NPC01: ADM>TAC>There is nothing hasty about this, Lietenant McKenzie. Commander Grace has proven that she is fully capable of following not only Starfleet orders but Starfleet principles and directives. She is an officer that Command hopes will help reel in the antics of your crew... unless of course you prefer our second option where we simply disband your crew and mothball the Aryes altogether?
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>::Nods and smiles to the crew in acknowledgement::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > JAG > Welcome to the aryes, commander.. ::said in a defeated tone::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>AMD>I think we are all more than happy to have Commander Grace join our family. Its a very fair solution.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>ADM> Sir I will follow the commanders orders to the letter, and serve her within my capacity.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::he then smiled:: JAG > Always nice to have a beautiful woman aboard ::grins as he could almost feel a glare on his back from his wife::
CmdrHelenGrace: Grace>All> I'm certain we will be an efficent and credit worthy team.
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>Good, because I don't need to remind you that it is no longer the 23rd century. Space is not the wild frontier and none of you look like James T. Kirk. Starfleet is no longer a place for cowboys, but officers. And if you forget that again or our leniency here today, I promise you that our next solution will not be so "fair."
ST NPC01: ADM>ALL>DISMISSED
