The Judges meet the Host
« on: Feb 8^th, 2005, 11:17am »

Valren paced his office as he read the PADD in his hand. This was not good. A Klingon and Human Admiral, both apparently angry, had arrived and were on the way to his office - seperately but surely soon to be together. He had not had time to be properly briefed and was anxiously reviewing as much as he could.

This would not go over well.

The yeoman quickly brought K'Hare to the Commanding Officer's office. As they went in, K'Hare noticed the room was still marked Admiral Neirbo, but as reported, it wasn't the bolian who was waiting inside.

Yeoman: Vice Admiral Valren Arelwynn, this is K'Hare totlh, one of the Admirals in charge of the annual betleH competition.

The young officer bowed and slipped gracefully out of the office. K'Hare was amused by his word choice. He had deftly clarified K'Hare's rank in both Klingon and standard to avoid his boss making a mistake and he was gone without any awkwardness. He also didn't trip over the lack of House insignia. A fine aide, for a human.

K'Hare simply nodded to the XFY CO. The Klingon recognized the higher rank and was not ready to abandon protocol. By rank and because this was his office, it was his meeting.

Valren motioned for K'Hare to sit and began as diplomatically as possible. He could sense that the Klingon had been irritated, though it had passed a bit and it was not something he would want to bring back to the surface. Of all the things Valren hated about Klingons, their irrational temper was the worst.

Arelwynn: *accented* totlh! Welcome to Xavier. I apologize for any confusion that has occurred, my predeccessor rather abruptly left his post and I've just taken command several hours ago. As a matter of fact, the official change of command ceremony has not even occured as of yet. I hope y'all haven't been too inconvenienced by this. We'll get it straightened out as soon as we can. Can I offer you a drink or something to eat?

The young ensign that was assigned to escort Admiral Durkis to Arelynn's office was practically running trying to keep up with Wade's pace. Wade was quite plainly ticked off. Note only should he have been notified sooner on what was going on as the head of the competition, but as 44's former Task Force 2nd XO, he should have heard something. Something wasn't right. First Wade gets transfered to Task Force 9, now Droj has been removed as Task Force CO. An odd coincidence if htat's what it was.

Ensign(NPC):Sir, its obvious you've been here before, but I must say that the Admiral may be in with someone else and...

Durkis:And I really don't care ensign.

They both turned the corner and came upon Admiral Arelwynn's office. The Admiral's yeoman had just left and saw the two coming up fast. The ensign gave the yeoman a paniced look.

Yeoman:It's ok, ensign. I'll take it from here. Sir, I'll announce you right away, the Admiral is expecting you.

The yeoman knocked on the door twice and then entered followed by Durkis. Wade was glad to see K'hare there. At least there was one friend he knew.

Wade gave K'hare a proper klingon salute and nodded his head slightly.

Durkis:K'hare, it is an honor to see you again.

Yeoman:Sir, Rear Admiral Wade Durkis of the USS Saturn.

Wade tourned his attention to Arelwynn

Durkis:Admiral. With all do respect may I ask what is going on?

K'Hare had not even had a chance to reply to Arelwynn's inquiry when Wade arrived rather abruptly. Valren was shocked and concerned that the human was even more irritated than the Klingon. He bordered on out right rage.

Arelwynn: No Admiral, I do not mind at all. I apologize for the confusion, if you could please have a seat? I'd like to offer you some refreshments but I can see that you are not really in the mood for that. I have just become CO of this base today. Admiral Neirbo resigned from Starfleet about 10 days ago. Needless to say, there is a bit of confusion here, especially with the tournament beginning shortly. I apologize for this.

Ten days ago! Wade couldn't beileve what he was hearing. If that was the case, why didn't Droj contact him? Was he sick, was he forced out? Wade took a second a calm himself before proceeding.

Durkis: Of course Admiral. This apparent took everyone off guard. What can you tell me about the circumstances of Admiral Neirbo's resignation?

K'Hare was not used to being talked around and there was a pressing issue. "Gentlemen, we should have time to find out all the facts, but there is a pressing issue. I arrived in what was interpreted as a federation ship. This created a problem. But some Klingon HoDpu', captains, will not react will to talk of transporting. This could create problems."

He paused, looking over at the bar and remember the offer of a drink. "But, there is a precedence for Klingon ships on small Klingon bases to either rotate the ship that is docked, to let the largest one dock and have smaller ones dock with it, or to put them off to the side and have a regular shuttle service back and forth to the grouping. As a rule, Klingons will not transport for an event such as this. The need is not great enough to demand risk."

K'Hare was still annoyed at having to explain this, but the chance to avoid problems was keeping him focused. This was all part of a set of protocols he had worked out with the bolian.

Valren nodded at K'Hare's interjection. It was indeed a problem.

Arelwynn: I'll talk to the Dock Master and see what can be done, the problem is that we only have so much room in our starship docking bays and there are not external docking facilities. *pausing* Even if we dock the smaller ships to the larger ships, it still takes up space in the bays. Would it be agreeable to have the ships dock in our dry docks and ferry people over? I can have our ships taken out of the starship bays to make more room.

Wade scolded himself internally. K'hare was right and Wade shouldn't let his personal feelings effect his work. He had made that mistake before.

Durkis:A valid point totlh. We should tend to pressing business first. I do recall discussion about this after the competition last year and that procedure K'hare mentioned was agreed upon. However, *Wade turned to Valren* this is your station Admiral. Is the procedure that K'hare totlh mentioned acceptable?

OFF:

I will assume the previous two posts happened in reverse order. (:}

ON:

K'Hare nodded. "The dry dock solution makes a great deal of sense. The Empire ships will cluster there and some of the recreational activities will stay in that area. That is probably best for all. The largest of the ships can serve as a coordinating point. If XFY has a pair of shuttles going and coming with clear flight paths on a regular schedule, the rest of the Empire ships can shuttle to and from that one on its far side. That will work well. The meH'Haj will be here tomorrow and it is short on crew so it will have space. I am sure ta'pez HoD wont mind."

K'Hare moved over to a chair and sat down. "Now that that is worked out, we can sit, drink, and discuss the absence of Neirbo and whatever other arrangements are required to make this tournament successful."

Valren nodded and tapped his communicator.

Arelwynn: This is Admiral Arelwynn to the Dock Master's office, I need to speak with the Dock Master right away.

The line was silent for a few moments before the casually spoken Tellarite came through the comm, Valren had not yet had a chance to meet his staff.

Ghuety: *through comm* Hello there Admiral, welcome to Xavier... good to have a boss again. What can I do for ya?

Arelwynn: *not knowing his name or rank proceeded without either* We need to make some adjustments to accomodate the Klingons coming in. Can you have the Cochrane and Karlskrona removed from the starship docking bay and parked in orbit? All Klingon ships are to be docked upon their arrival. For overflow, I want you to dock the larger ships at the drydocks and have smaller ones dock to the ships. Coordinate with Spacecraft Ops to have regular runabouts travelling from the base to docked ships to serve as a ferry service. Understood?

Gheuty responded over the comm with a great deal of hesitation in his voice.

Gheuty: We can do our best sir, it will be a nightmare down here to get that together, with all of the traffic in orbit...

Arelwynn: *cutting him off* Unless you want some Klingons at your door with blades in hand - and me behind them - make it happen. Got it?

Gheuty: Yes sir!

Arelwynn: Good. Arelwynn out.

He faced K'Hare and Durkis with a wry smile.

Arelwynn: I suspect that should solve our problems. Perhaps we should find a quieter venue than ops in which to meet *motioning the the busy havoc through the window in his door* I was supposed to join my aide for drinks, perhaps she can attend. This may sound bizarre, but my aide is the out going XO - who has been acting as CO since Neirbo's departure - and she may be helpful in bridging the gap.

Valren nodded to both and headed out the door as the two followed, as they walked through the business of Ops, Valren tapped his commbadge.

Arelwynn: *taps* Arelwynn to Commander Toralon. Kel, I am here with the judges of the Bat'leth Tournament. Join us in my private lounge immeadiately please. Arelwynn out.

They stepped into the turbolift and Valren ordered it to Deck 6. The lift barely began to accelerate before stopping again only a few dozen metres below.

They stepped out and rounded a corner and entered the lounge. It was empty, Valren hadn't called catering services to have it staffed and he felt it'd probably be best to keep it that way. The nerves of his fellow flag officers were not yet at ease.

Arelwynn: Gentlemen, what can I treat you too... though I've not had the chance to review the stocks, I know there is a good selection of the "real stuff" here. Otherwise, we'll get you some synthohol.

Kel moved through the halls with trepidation. Everything about this week was both great and terrible, and now she was meeting not only with the CO, but with some of the tournament judges? She didn't really understand much about the tournament itself, but she figured that for as big an event as this was, the judges would be people of note.

When she reached the lounge, the hiss of the door opening nearly frightened her away, but she steeled herself, then tried to walk in as though meetings of this sort happened every other day or so. As she approached, she paused, then drew to attention.

Toralon: Sirs, reporting as ordered."

Arelwynn: Ah Kel, thank you for coming. This is K'Hare totlh and Rear Admiral Durkis. I just wanted you to help us prepare as you've been here - and in charge - longer than I have.

He stepped back a bit and then added a sentence more.

Arelwynn: If you will just excuse me a moment, I'll be right back.

The doors parted and he was gone.

OFF:

It is from this point that this happens.

Kel, feel free to post with these gents and Valren will return quickly.
