Mission: Mission 99: The Dreams of Songs Gone Past
Location: JAG Offices - Starbase Vanguard (47)
Timeline: 1430Hrs - June 12th, 2393

Captain Rabb entered his office and went to the chair behind his desk before sitting down, he sighed deeply as this effort today had been tiring and exhausting and now he only had a couple of people left to deal with, he sat up in his chair as he glanced at the PADD on his desk, it read "Lt Commander Tienn Iteela and Lt Commander Anthony Raynor, he held the callsign of Ironhide and his posting was the CAG which in Starfleet parlance stood for Commander Aerospace Group, present assignment was aboard the USS Solemn Penance, a Champion Class carrier and less then a year out of the shipyard, apparently she was just finishing her shakedown cruise.

Rabb decided to deal with him next before he went to see Tienn Iteela or Captain Lasky as he knew this man would be a challenge. He tapped his combadge and requested his call be placed from the communications center up in Operations.

Meanwhile, aboard the USS Solemn Penance. Lt Commander Anthony Raynor, callsign: Ironhide was sitting in his office with the paperwork that he needed to finish when the call came in, he knew this was going to be another distraction as the Exec called him. "Ironhide, you got an incoming message from Starbase 47, some JAG Lawyer on Vanguard wants a word."

"Lovely," Ironhide answered with a deadpan tone of voice when he tapped the display before him. "Lucy, could you come in here please?" Ironhide said to his aide who walked into his office a moment later. "Hey, could you take care of this paperwork, someone on Vanguard wants my time and I'm just not gonna get it done with all these distractions.?"

Master Chief Petty Officer Lucy Janson nodded her head. Her short white hair jostled ever so slightly as she kept her hair short. "Yeah, wildo CAG, you shoulda left it with me anyway." the older human female responded as she lifted the half-dozen PADD's on his desk before she withdrew, with Ironhide admiring her ass from behind. While she was in her late forties, she was also still very good looking and she knew her so she began sashaying her hips from side to side, clearly, she knew he was admiring her ass from behind. "Stop staring at my ass Ironhide, you never admire me from in front," Janson commented as she exited his office.

Janson knew of her bosses many issues so she did what she could to help him with them, if and when they came up as she sat back down at her desk and went to work on the paperwork, she was of average height and she had something of a buxom figure and she knew that Ironhide wanted her ass in bed. In truth, she felt flattered by the attention he gave her but she also knew why he gave her the attention in the first place. Janson was also seriously considering letting him seduce her and take her to bed as she was sure that this would resolve some of Ironhides overall problems.

Meanwhile, Ironhide turned to the display, he tapped it once before giving his authorization code. A face of a Starfleet Captain wearing security yellow appeared on the display before him. "Captain. What can I do for you?" Ironhide asked, coming right to the point.

"Its what I can do for you, Commander Raynor," Rabb answered. "I'm Captain Harmon Rabb and I've been asked to inform you of a matter that came up last year with yourself and several others being named in the matter in question. We do not know who the complainant was but that's also not important at this point either. What is important is that yourself and several others have had illegal actions taken against you. Starfleet JAG was only recently made aware of these issues and concerns." Rabb explained.

"Wait, let me get this right. someone bitched about myself and others and you guys decided that we were treated like crap all along?" Ironhide sounded like he didn't believe it.

"Something to that effect, yes. As I said, the JAG investigation has wrapped up and what will happen to you is the following. You'll have your actually rank restored to you, Commodore Ashcroft is briefing Captain Brevik on this matter as we speak." Rabb explained. "The black mark and the demotion you suffered will be removed from your record and it'll be fixed. Admiral Bremer, the one who issued the demotion has been discharged from Starfleet as a result of these events."

"You mean the bar brawl on Starbase Four Hundred?" Raynor answered.

"I do. Yourself and anyone else who was there have had their careers restored to what they should have been. Bremer did not have the right to demote anyone, you may be assured that he has been most properly punished for the actions taken against you and everyone else who's suffered as a result of these demotions." Rabb smiled.

"Well, that's good to know. I had honestly given up hope of ever seeing Commander." Ironhide responded quietly.

Rabb raised an eyebrow. "Well according to your file, Commander is not your rank, Captain is." Rabb suddenly grinned at the other man.

"Wait, what?" Raynor responded. "Captain?"

"Yes, you were illegally demoted. You suffered for something you did not do and you also endured shit and misery from others on account of said demotion." Rabb answered. "Hell, if I had my way. I'd give you a medal for good conduct but I can't as I don't have that sort of authority. However a citation for the same will, however, be forthcoming as that I can do, I stuck in the paperwork for yourself and everyone else involved."

"So, what do I have to do to get all this?" Raynor was suspicious of all of the news he was receiving, it showed too in his time, his eyes and body language.

"Nothing whatsoever," Rabb answered. "You have already earned this all so I'm only returning what you already should have had in the first place."

"Well, I don't quite know what to say, Captain. Thank you."

"Your welcome Ironhide." and just then the com system beeped at both men. "Brevik to Raynor.?"

Ironhide tapped his combadge. "Go ahead, skipper?"

"When you finish your call. I'd like to see you in my office so we can clear this matter up."

"Understood Captain, I'd be there shortly. Raynor out." The pilot tapped his combadge a second time.
"Is there anything else we should discuss Captain?"

"No, that's it. I'll get outta your hair and let you go sort things out with Captain Brevik. Rabb out." and with that, the screen went black as Ironhide rose to his feet and left his office, his next destination was the skipper's office, just off of the main bridge.

Raynor made his way to his destination before he knocked on the door, he was permitted entry a moment later as Captain Brevik was standing at the wall monitor. "Anthony, you are the man of the hour, seems everyone wants you," Brevik explained in a rather jovial tone of voice.

"Oh?." Ironhide answered "Hows that skipper?"

"Well. When I selected you as my CAG, I had a good feeling about you, that you had been unfairly treated and had been through a lot. I intended to see to it that you got a fresh start and after the chat, I had with Commodore Ashcroft said that I was right all along and I have been directed as she put it to restore your proper rank with immediate effect." Brevik explained evenly, a smile on his face.

Ironhide raised an eyebrow. "Okay, Captain Rabb did mention that to me, he wasn't very clear on what rank I was to be restored to."

Brevik nodded his head. "You'll hold the rank you should be holding for this posting. That of Captain." as Brevik handed Ironhide two solid golden pips.

Ironhide quickly slipped off the single black pip which he handed back to Brevik then he placed the two golden pips onto his collar. "Now, that feels heavy," he commented.

"I'll have another aide assigned to you as well. I imagine your paperwork is already a lot." Brevik answered.

"Yeah. it's a fair amount." Ironhide nodded his head.

"You'll get used to it, but make good use of your yeomen as needed," Brevik answered while he shook Ironhide's hand. "If you need more, let me know."

"I'll do that Skipper," Ironhide answered with a smile.

"Sounds good, besides I should get back to work and you can go celebrate," Brevik commented

Ironhide nodded before he took his leave, he exited Brevik's office and made his way towards his own office. He walked into his office a moment later as he slipped off his uniform jacket a moment later. "Well.. shit," he commented aloud, more to himself than anyone else.

The door opened and in walked his aide, Lucy Janson. "You okay skipper.?" the middle-aged female inquired as she reached up and began pulling her white hair back into a french Platt hairstyle so it was out of the way.

"Yeah. I'm okay Lucy. Why... Whats up?" Ironhide responded before he gave her a look, he knew that Janson did not ask leading questions like that unless it was going somewhere.

"Are you doing anything for the next while?" Janson inquired. "Come on... Let me help you with your issues."

Ironhide tapped the display before him. "Not anymore Lucy," he answered, knowing full well that telling her otherwise was a waste of effort and she was offering to help him. He decided to accept her offer.

Janson smiled as she began shedding her uniform until she was completely naked. "Come on big boy. Make me scream." she enticed him.

"When you put it like that." Ironhide gently pushed her against his desk. "How could I possibly refuse you?" Ironhide added as the human female got down on her knees before him.

"I don't know," Janson responded with a smile as she looked up at him. "Now sit back and relax." then she moved on him.
