IC: At this moment the sensors began to display an unusual navigation ‘echo’ as if the sensors were picking the telemetry and navigation sensors up twice. The helmsman shivered for some reason “Sir, my sensors are echoing, unsure of the reason why at this moment sir”

GM

Mwezi slipped the PaDD into his belt, and stepped over to the turbolifts. “I will be back with the food posthaste,” he spoke. He wasn’t sure if it was locked from his access, so he pressed the button that would request the doors to open.

Mwezi, Sec

Kane looked at Mwezi and yelled “Bacon! And beer! And if the dancing girls are available, I’ll take two!” Looking back at the bridge crew, many of whom had turned to stare, he said “What? I thought were placing our dinner orders.”

Kane, Tac / Med

“And I didn’t know we were on an Orion pleasure vessel” The scientist said with dry wit before turning his gaze on his panel, checking this sensor echo the Helmsman reported “I’m scanning for abnormalities, however, we may simply need to realign our sensor array”

CSO

“I’m just going off what the recruiting brochure told me about this ship. Not like they’d lie or anything, right?” and he began a series of scans from the tactical console to see if his readings were different from the helm.

Kane, Tac / Med

All sensors checked out fine, but the helm still showed a echo even after checking the systems which appeared to be functioning properly.

GM

Mwezi left the bridge, going into the Turbolift and heading down towards the mess hall.

Mwezi, Sec

At this time the Captain, Admiral and XO entered the bridge. Chris stepped out of the turbolift first, stood to attention at the side of it to allow the others to enter the bridge and bellowed in a commanding voice. “Attention on deck!”

Commander Chris Taggart XO

Kane turned and looked at the commotion, but didn’t budge except to shake his head and turn back to his console.

Kane, Tac / Med

Stovik stood to the side of the open turbolift doors to allow the Admiral to precede him onto the bridge then followed after him. He followed the Admiral down to the command area and then turned to face the Admiral.
“When your ready, Admiral.” He said nodding to the higher ranked officer.

Captain Stovik

William frowned at the tattooed officer and made a mental note regarding his disregard for authority. How he’d made to lieutenant was surprising. turning slightly to the side so watch the incoming Admiralty. Placing his hands behind his back and stiffening up. The stance was freshly familiar. Only a few months ago he’d been working at the Academy where the stance was more common.

CSO

The admiral moved to the center of the bridge, and allowed the two officers to move to each side of him facing one another. “Captain Stovik it is with deep sympathy that I ask you to reliquish command to Commander Chris Taggart, this is by no means a reflection of your leadership of this vessel” Turning to Commander Taggart Admiral Beymer pulled out a pip, “Attention to Orders Star Fleet Command has reposed special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity and professional excellence of Chris Taggart, In view of these qualities and demonstrated leadership potential along with dedicated service to the United Federation of Planets, Chris Taggart is, therefore, advanced from Commander to Captain.” Admiral Beymer reached up and placed the pip on his collar, “Congratulations Captain, You may relieve Captain Stovik”

Chris almost died laughing at what the Admiral just said. He thought He wouldn’t think he would have said that 20 minutes ago, but kept a straight face. Chris took the new shirt with Captain’s rings on it and put it on over his old one. He’d change more formally later.

Chris turned towards Captain Stovik and with va serious and grim look on his face stated flatly. “You are hereby relieved Captain. ” That pained him to say those words.

The Admiral turned to Stovik, “Captain, it is my displeasure to ask that you voluntarily reduce yourself in rank to the rank of Commander, You are to be assigned as the Executive Officer of the USS. Chernov.”

Stovik nodded soberly and turned towards Taggart,”I stand relieved.” He said formally giving his erstwhile XO a half bow of respect.

Commander Stovik

Chris bowed back.

In the background a young science officer whispered to the helmsman, “I’ve seen the shadow in the sensors before, I know a fix when we are done”

GM

Kane almost, but didn’t, laugh at the ceremony. ‘Brass and their traditions…’ he thought to himself. Overhearing the exchange between the two officers, Kane looked at them and said flatly but softly (at least for him) “Do it now, then. We need to know what’s going outside the ship. Change of Command doesn’t mean we aren’t in space, right? So do it already.”

Kane, Tac / Med

OOC: This is still JJverse during Kirk time circa 2265, they have uniform stripes, not collar pips.
Hjörtur
OOC: We’ll change later! LOL

Captain Chris Taggart CO

OOC: Sorry about that, getting used to JJ,

IC: Admiral Beymer stood silently for a moment, watching the new Captain, “Captain Taggart, it is imperitive that we get you spun up on the operation, there should be plenty to do.”

GM

Stovik glanced over at the Admiral as he addressed his new…XO, …’spun’? That was a new idiom and he couldn’t fathom for the life of him what exactly the Admiral meant. He had already informed both himself and Taggart on the new mission so what was he referring too?

Chris nodded and held his arm out pointing to the ready room. “We can use Capt…Commander Stovik old office. Do you want me to send for the three others?” He didn’t want to say who since that was still secrecy.

“I can we can refer to it as the Captain’s office, Captain. Or yours…as you are now Captain.” Stovik said with equanimity.

Commander Stovik

He looked at Kane. “Kane. How long till we reach where we are going at our present speed?”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

OOC: I’ll wait so the GM can give an accurate arrival time.

James

William watched the exchange with equal part curiosity and utter surprise. Out of all the things to happen he did not expect this. Starfleet Command was behaving more and more in an utterly inexplicable manner. First the fake mission, then Vulcan and now a promotion and a demotion. Sure handing Command over to Taggart probably made sense if it was his time or whatever but Demoting the Captain was an unnecessary triviality. He considered if there was some other reason behind all of this. Shaking his head he turned his attention back to his work station.

CSO

Mwezi returned to the bridge with the food. He noticed Taggart and stepped over, handing him the small data Padd he had been asked to give to Taggart, then distributed the meal - sandwiches wrapped in foil - to anyone who was hungry.

Mwezi, sec

“No beer or dancing girls, Big Furry? I am very disappointed in you.” and he shook his head in mock displeasure. Or maybe it was real displeasure. With Kane, it was always a toss up. Taking a sandwich he opened it and said “At least you got the bacon. All is forgiven… well, most is forgiven.”

Chris took the PaDD. “Thank you Ensign Mwezi. Do you know what’s on it or if it’s important enough to look at right now? I’m getting ready to have another mission debrief.”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Kane, Tac / Med

“You will have to ask Adira Givens, she is the one who gave it to me,” Mwezi said softly. “She said it was for your eyes only.”

Mwezi, Sec

Chris nodded. “Thank you. ” He tapped the PaDD on and put in his password and read what was on it.

OOC “Ok Miss Mercer. What is on the PaDD?

Captain Chris Taggart CO

The helmsman spoke up “XO… or uh Captain, sorry sir, we will arrive in 6 hours at the location sir, we did have a ‘echo’ on the navigation sensors that I have not seen before but since the science ensign looked at it we are not seeing it anymore sir.”

GM

Stovik strode over to the science station to look at the reading himself,”Let me see the reading.” He asked softly thinking of cloaked vessels.”Did the echo appear to be shadowing us?” He asked of the Helmsman.

Commander Stovik

“That’s fine. I have a problem remembering myself.” He smiled. “But since we are so close to our destination and there are two enemy vessels there already, one possessing the ability to cloak. Could you or science please tell me what is it that you mean is an Echo?”

“There appears to be a sensor echo for some unknown reasons. We checked the sensor array and both me and Mr. Kane did our own readings with no luck. It appears isolated to the Helm sensors” William stated from his station in the General respectful Bridge Officer tone “However, we were unaware of factual knowledge of any cloaked vessels.” he seemed to tense slightly “We’ll have to run some more detailed scans and tests”

After Chris heard the response he looked at both the Admiral and Stovik. “Sense we are close and my crew needs time to prepare, my ready room is this way. ” He said in a commanding tone and started walking to the ready room without waiting for an answer.
