Posted on Mon Feb 24th, 2020 @ 12:20am by Division Admiral Thomas Lasky & Fleet Captain Torilla Yamaguchi & Commodore Siaxx "Bluemoon" Dvald-Vaxx MD

Mission: Mission 8: Hope Found and then Lost
Location: Various Locations - Starbase 400
Timeline: 0800Hrs - April 1st, 2389

It was 0930 hours, Bremer was in Ops looking over everything as he did
every morning before starting his paper work, but today was different.
After verifying all was well within Starbase 400's area of operations,
Mike headed for the turbolift and descended down to the Station's
internal Docking Bay.

The alarm abruptly woke Anthony, leaving him dazed. Rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was back aboard Starbase 400. His journey from San Francisco to Starbase 400 involved hopping between civilian vessels until he reached his destination. Once he reached the station, he promptly tumbled onto his bed and fell fast asleep.

Now the new day had begun, and Anthony had to begin a new chapter in his life. After a quick, hot shower Anthony dressed himself into his freshly starched uniform. He stood in the bathroom of his quarters for a moment, gazing at the striking red undershirt, which he had earned taking Flight Control courses and several Command intro seminars.

"This is the first step to the big seat." He said to himself.

Anthony was beginning to grasp and continue the legacy of his ancestors. It felt right. With confidence, Anthony made his way through the station towards the USS Essex, one of a seemingly endless amount of ships assigned to the station. This would be his first time being at the helm of a starship since his second year at the academy, which was a simulation.

When Bremer arrived, he made his way to Docking Port Two and started down the short walkway toward the Defiant Class vessel docked there. NCC-1717-F, USS Yorktown, was ready for her maiden flight, but first the ship needed to be officially commissioned.

Once onboard the ship, Mike made his way to the Bridge to find a very
happy Captain K'Temoc.

"Think she's space worthy?" Mike asked with a smile.

"Absolutely!" K'Temoc replied.

"Good, just don't run into anymore Jem'Hadar Attackships." Bremer smirked.

"I'm not planning to scratch the paint at all on her, much less ram
another ship." K'Temoc replied. "I just wish all of the Special
Operations Team was here...but Pike and Harrison need their privacy right
now.

Aboard the ship was a small group of Officers. K'Temoc, Yamaguchi, Gillo,
Gardner, Nechayve, Lasky, Blackthorne, Dvald, Gillmore, Coleman, and
Bremer...they were all gathered on the Bridge.

K'Temoc, Yamaguchi, Gillo, Gardner, Nechayve, Lasky, Blackthorne,
Gillmore, and Dvald would take the ship out for her trial runs following
the commissioning ceremony.

Bremer held up a PADD, "If I could have your attention." He looked at the
PADD, "By order of Starfleet Command, as of this date, NCC-1717-F, USS
Yorktown, is hereby commissioned in Starfleet as an active vessel. Captain
James K'Temoc Bremer is requested and required to take command of
NCC-1717-F USS Yorktown while operating out of Starbase 400 under overall command of Admiral Mike K'Wor Bremer. Yada-yada, so on and so forth, signed Fleet Admiral Alynna Nechayev."

At the same moment, the forward view screen changed from its standard
forward view, the another angle showed something drifting closer and
closer to the Yorktown. After a moment, the small object could be clearly
seen as a bottle of champagne from Chateau Picard. After another few
seconds, the bottle impacted against the Yorktown's hull and shattered.
Everyone aboard the Yorktown's Bridge as well as people gathered at
Observation Windows aboard the Station clapped.

"Mister K'Temoc, the ship is yours...oh, and the Ambassador sent this to
you as well." Bremer said with a smile as he handed K'Temoc another bottle
of Chateau Picard champagne before he and Coleman headed off the Bridge.

"You sure you don't want to come along?" K'Temoc replied.

"We can't, the Essex is leaving in about ninety minutes. Starfleet wants
us to check out some unusual readings coming from Socala Major...it's
outside Federation space so I figured now would be a good time to test the
Essex's upgrades including her new Slipstream Drive." Bremer replied.

K'Temoc nodded, "Have fun with your exploration mission."

Bremer nodded to his Brother, then he and Coleman left the Yorktown.

As Bremer and Coleman left the Yorktown, a stunning Orion Woman in a teal trimmed uniform entered the Bridge. K’Temoc, who’d always had a ‘thing’ for attractive Orion women, noticed her.

“Ah, you must be the new Assistant Chief Science Officer for Starbase 400, Lieutenant Takabe?

Takabe looked a little disoriented. "Yes sir, hello. I'm sorry, I'm a little overwhelmed right now." Nuala seemed nervous and flashed a quick smile. "I just got off a supply freighter from my last duty station and before I know it my luggage is going to my new quarters and I'm back on a ship." Takabe took in a deep breath. "It is still nice to be aboard a Star Fleet ship even if it is just to run some tests. I'm glad to be here sir." She told K'Temoc, her nervousness still evident.

K'Temoc paused a moment as he stepped forward, he didn't want to seem rude with his next question. "You are using a pheromone suppressant, aren't you?" He knew, all too well, how Orion women could, entice men.

Nuala inadvertently giggled. "Sorry sir. It's just that I get asked that question a lot. Although I'm usually asked in the ready room and not on the bridge." Takabe told him. " Yes, I'm taking precautions. It's a term of service for Orion females. I'm doing a series of meditations and taking a supplement. I have it routinely checked by medical. It should be in my file."

"Very good Lieutenant." K'Temoc flashed a smile, "Take your station."
