Commanding Officer's Ready Room

[Commander Christina Rivers]

She came in and stood with her hands behind her back. "I entered Captain. Is there something you wish to speak with me about?" She couldn't help but smile at him. He seamed to look different almost glowing this morning.

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

Yes, Christina, have a seat, please. This concerns the recent run of events with the Impostors.

I think the crew and the ship performed wel beyond expectatons.

I don;t think that Command will have a problem with my descision to use the Nemesis device. What concerns me is the crew.

Having that knowledge could put them in danger.

I would like the Dr to perform a mild engramatic purge as he checks out the senior staff. What is your opinion on that?

[Commander Christina Rivers]

She sat down and was concerned when he said something about an engram erace to protect the crew but she understood where he came from. It took her a while but she came to a desicion as to what to say.

" I think that the knowlage is dangerous yes. The Senior Staff shouldn't be burned with what we have to know about. Might be wise to do that measure for them. Doctor McCoy is capable and I trust the crew with him. I know Command will not get you on this one. If they do then they better get me too because I had prior knowlage of this. I could have stopted you, raised and objection and I didn't. Because I beleived what you were doing was nessary, sir. So you have my blessing to protect the crew in this but not to face the conceqences alone."

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

::He nodded in agreement.::

I'm appreciative of the the fact that all back me on this descision. It is not SFC that concerns me. Now this weapon has been deployed, Someone is going to get curious.

That puts all of them at risk. Even section31 doesn;t have intel on this and they're going to want it. No one can get the intel from the crew by mindscan if it isn't there.

You and I will just have to watch our backs.

[Commander Christina Rivers]

"I understand sir and I rather it be just you and me that have that problem. Not that I don't think the crew is capable of defending themselves. Just that I don't want them to have that burden on their shoulders. Is that all you wanted to talk to me about sir?"

She knew that he was busy and didn't want to waste his time. But at the sametime wanted him to speak his mind to her. She would always be there for him in that capasity. Over the years they developted a friendship on top of the First Officer Commander relationship. She valued that.

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

That's pretty much it. Except that I'd like to see you lossen up and have a good time at the wedding. I'm very happy for those two.

[Commander Christina Rivers]

She laughted a little, "I'll try sir. Lt. Hooper has been most pashent in teaching me how to be more sociable. I am very happy for both Commander Mellsiarie and CPO Amir. She then got up from the chair. "Until then I have to file papers with Command. Thank you sir for consulting me on this matter." She then waited to be dismissed.

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

As you were, Commander. Dissmissed. ::He smiled::

[Commander Christina Rivers]

She noded and then turned to leave his office her hands behind her back and walked back to her office to file paperwork.

[Commander Christina Rivers]

ChristinaRRivers: Christina walked up to the Captians ready room with John sence they were at sickbay already the day before she felt the need to inform the Captain personally about what was going on.

Johnhooper05: He Stood by her side as the arrived at the Captains Ready Room
Johnhooper05: He smiles at her "Ready Dear?"

ChristinaRRivers: "Ready as I will be." She then pressed the chime to let him know that they were both there.

Brock Dantara: ::Sitting in ready room going over sector intel reports. Hears the chime. Is happy to be interrupted for once.:: Enter.

ChristinaRRivers: She walks in holding John's hand. " Hope we're not intrupting things. Just got some news and wanted to share it with you."

Johnhooper05: Walks in holding Christina's hand and salutes with his other hand

Brock Dantara: As you were, Mr Hooper. And yes, you were interrupting something I'm happy to say. reports can often be rather dry reading. ::Smiles:: What can I do for you two? And have a seat please.

Johnhooper05: He relaxes and waites for Christina to sit first

ChristinaRRivers: She sits down and then waits for John to sit before speaking. "Well our comming here is kind of a two fold purpose. The first one is to ask you to perform our marrage ceriamony. When it is approperate ofcourse, sir."

Johnhooper05: He sits down and smiles at her
Johnhooper05: "We would like you to marry us Sir" he says looking at the Captain

Brock Dantara: ::Is a bit surprised:: Well, of course I would. It looks as though I'm going to gain a lot of experience in this area. Another thing I could pursue in my retirement. ::Laughs::
Brock Dantara: Congratulations, both of you. I'm very happy for you. Am I going to be the only single person on the ship? ::Smiles::

Johnhooper05: He smiles "Their is one more important Thing Sir"

ChristinaRRivers: She takes a deep breath, " Thank you sir on the first account. However, John is right there is another matter we wish to talk about. We're pregent with babies."

Brock Dantara: Babies? plural?

Johnhooper05: Holds up three fingers "Triplets Sir"

Brock Dantara: Triplets? That isn't common in most humanoid species. There are many terran cases of it. That's quite an order you've placed.
Brock Dantara: ::He sat back in his chair a moment. To take this all in:: Commander rivers, is your personal heath in the proper state for 3 children? you've had issues in the past.

ChristinaRRivers: "Doctor Conner assured us that the babies will come to term and that I'll carry them fully. The abstuction that prevented me from doing that the last time is not present and I've been eating well thanks to John.
ChristinaRRivers: I understand your concern, but I plan on being on duty as long as I can. If a time comes that I can't be on duty for an exstended period of time I can send for another first officer to take my place if that would be proper sir.
ChristinaRRivers: I have a few friends that graduated when I did that would be happy to take a temperary assignment on the Polaris."

Johnhooper05: "And she is not going this alone I will cook and clean, and make sure she keeps all her appoments every month
Johnhooper05: I will be wither every step of the way Sir, and if she gets tired and exsauted and dosent report it I will"

Brock Dantara: ::Nods:: Alright. It sounds like you have all the bases covered. Children have been born on Starships before. And at least this one has a little room for them.
Brock Dantara: You might want to let Mellisarri know so she can arrange something with Zel to cater the wedding.

Johnhooper05: Nods "We shall Sir"

ChristinaRRivers: "We will and thank you for everything. I mean it. You really are the best sir."
Brock Dantara: Maybe we'll have a little party in the near future in 10 forward or the arboretum just to announce the good news.

Brock Dantara: Just take care of yourself, Commander. And prenatal excersizes have ben around a long time. I'd to see you pursuing that.

ChristinaRRivers: "I don't like being fussed over so ofcourse I'll be taking ever precausion to prevent that." She smiles, "I'm just glad
ChristinaRRivers: you picked me up when you did Captain. I don't think another Captian would be as understanding as you have been."

Brock Dantara: I know and it's giving me a terrible reputation. ::Laughs::
Brock Dantara: I'll have Mamasan arrange a little hors'deorves buffet and we can have a child announcement party. I'll start letting the crew know.

ChristinaRRivers: " Supose we should let them know before the basketball starts making an apperance." She walks around his desk to hug him. "Sorry sir its the hormones."

Johnhooper05: Smiles "No Baccon in the hors'devrves Sir, and thank you Sir"

Brock Dantara: ::Hugs her back:; That's ok, Christina. Just stay healthy and get back on your feet fast.
Brock Dantara: Shallan can cover you for any time off, or anything like that.

Johnhooper05: Looks at Christina with a smile "I was think Jan 8 for the wedding, what do you think"

Brock Dantara: ::Pulls up the mission schedule:: If all goes well, I think I can schedule us a barrion sweep around that time and arrange shore leave for everyone. after the wedding.

ChristinaRRivers: "I think we'll get married when the ship and the Captain thinks it right for us. It doesn't matter to me Jay. I'm already with you and to me that is all that matters."

Johnhooper05: "This is true, what ever works for you sir"

Brock Dantara: I'm sure the time will present itself. In the mean time, I'm going to have to get as much work out of you as I can before it gets difficult for you to move around. ::Smiles::

Johnhooper05: Smiles "that will be what 2 or 3 months"

ChristinaRRivers: "I understand sir. I'll make sure to have the papers in order so Shallan can operate in my place." She then looked at Jay and rubbed her face, "I honostily don't know I'll go until I can't anymore."

Johnhooper05: Smiles at her "that's good so what are you hunrgy for?"

Brock Dantara: Alright, don't kill yourself, Commander. Go enjoy your meal. I, unfortunately have a pile of reports to read and acknowledge. ::Smiles::

ChristinaRRivers: "You need to eat too Captain. Make sure you do and you don't kill yourself either. Would hate to have to try and find someone to take your place." Smiles at him and then truns back to Jay
ChristinaRRivers: "Let's get that ice cream and pickles."

Johnhooper05: "Sounds good to me"

Brock Dantara: Mamasan won't let me go hungry. Count on that.

[Lt.Cmdr. Angelaine Kitona]

Angelaine had slipped out of Sickbay while Duncan slept and had come here. She pressed the chime on the door and waited for the invitation to enter.

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

::Brock was at his desk looking over a comminacations log when he heard the door.::

Enter. ::He opened the door::

[Lt.Cmdr. Angelaine Kitona]

Angelaine walked in slowly, the leg burns still smarting and sank into the chair opposite his desk. "I'm glad you could see me, Captain, Duncan is still asleep." Here, her voice took on a worried tone, "They still don't know exactly what's wrong with him. Sir, I'm not sure when I can return to my duties as CENG. I hope that Amir is doing well in my absence. I trust his work and I'll be honest, I'd like for him to be my ACENG and take over Engineering until I'm cleared to return to duty. Would that meet with your approval?"

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

::He smiled at the Engineer::

Of course it does. Amir was with me when the optimus found Polaris. He's a brilliant engineer. He just doesn't want to be an officer anymore. I'm trying to recommision him to his former rank of Lt. But he isn't interested. He's still qualified to lead engineering.

He lost someone in the Impostor war. He was hurt over that for a long time. I think Mellisari is the best thing to happen to him in a while. Mellisari, too. She has a family for the first time in her life. As you may or may not know yet, Duncan will have another playmate soon.

You do what you have to do for your son. It's important. Family is sacred to my people.

And remember, Poaris is a family, too. We're all here for you and support you if you need anything.

::He poured a glass of water for each of them.::

[Lt.Cmdr. Angelaine Kitona]

Angelaine took the glass and sipped. "Thank you, Captain. The leg burns are healing but, with the Medical staff still trying to figure out what's wrong with my son, I just cannot give Engineering my full attention and that wouldn't be fair to you or the crew. I just hope they find out something soon. I'm really worried. It took ten years for Micheal and I to concieve a child and now...."

The look on her face spoke volumes of her worry and her fear.

"Thank you, Captain. I need to get back to my son."

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

Alright, Angie. Take care of yourself and Duncan.

BUt remember, I Invested a lot of time butting heads with you back in the beginning. Don't poop out on me now when you have things running smoothly. I need you back to work.

::He smiled:: And Central point has very good facilities. Polaris is in good hands. Amir and Cervo are checking over everything as it gets done.

[Lt. Commander Angelaine Kitona]

Angelaine smiled sadly, "I know, Captain and I am grateful for the trust you have shown in me. I hope that I can return to the Polaris but, my son does come first. I just hope that I don't lose him."

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

Angie, You are not Going to lose Duncan. Dor McCoy is still a foremost authority on interspecies medicine. Central point has some very skilled Physicians. Some are Cardassian. Don't let that scare you. These men and women are not Cardassian Militia or Obsidian order Doctors. Just Doctors. Cardassians are extrememly skilled Physicians.

When we get to Central point, We'll get you transferred over to their facility. Polaris is going to need some drydock time so we'll all be around to give you whatever moral support you'd like.

Now relax, and get ready to transfer directly to their Medical facility. We'll all have quarters on the same wing and will be close by if you need us.

[Lt. Commander Angelaine Kitona]

Angelaine smiled, "Thank you, Captain. Micheal is on his way. He's leaving his assistant in charge of the dig. The Rigellian government was very understanding when he told them about Duncan. I'll be glad when he gets here. It's good to know that my friends are nearby as well.."

She stopped at the door and looked back, "You're right, of course, these people are doctors and I should trust them. I just wnat my son to be helathy and happy. I guess every mother does. Thank you."

With that, she slipped through the door and headed back to Duncan.

[Lt. Commander Angelaine Kitona]

Angelaine made her way out of the turbolift and headed down the corridor. She stopped in front of the door to the Captain's Ready Room and looked down at what she was wearing. She wasn't in uniform.

She was wearing a long, flowing dress that was orage red at the neck, to flaming red at the hem. It was part of why she had to go home and he realy wasn't happy about it.

She sighed, collected her thoughts and pressed the door chime.
