[OLD]

Shrugging he looked over. "I didn't mean kill, as in drawing blood. But something's got them riled." Frowning, he looked down at the padd. "How much time was given before you got back to the ship?"

[NEW]

"Do you mean how much shore leave did they have before we came here?" Sam asked. "The Orion hasn't been out long enough for them to get stir crazy, if that's what you're asking. We had our shakedown cruise, which lasted less than a month. Then Typhon, then here. My twelve-year-old nephew wouldn't be stir crazy by now, Lieutenant. If there's a problem with the Marines, something else is going on. Captain Raine has had no problems with the Marines. Until now."

"The sooner we get the third and Fourth running, the better it will be for the whole unit." Damon said with a nod, dismissing him. He smiled reassuringly at Leroy. "And no worries Lieutenant, it was probably a problem before you came aboard, it's just coming to a head now. I want you to personally oversee their training program. I understand that our Marines may not all like each other, but, they WILL respect each other."

[NEW]

"Aye Sir," Leroy said before standing up and slightly bowing to the Captain. Turning on his heel, he left the room, rubbing the back of his neck in thought. Something wasn't right here, and he would figure it out. Tapping his combadge, he chuckled. -^- Lieutenant Mangalia to all Marine Units. Meet me in Holodeck One. I have news, some good, and some not so good. Be there in fifteen.-^- Shaking his head again, he started to walk a little faster, wanting to be the first one there.

Sam grinned at Damon, ~I'm glad my XO's already broken in -- mostly. I'm not so sure about his hunting abilities, though.~ Chuckling, she turned to the others. "Any other questions?"

Damon grinned as he heard Samantha's thought's in his head, but he otherwise remained silent. It was never easy coming to a new ship and a new way of doing things, but it was something each of them had to do.

Nava listened to the conversation and pondered how she could best help. She didn't have much in the way of engineering skills; hers were mostly dealing with people.

Erin shook her head. ''Its a good idea. I haven't been here long enough to be attached to the ship, so I'm all for it." She added cheerfully, downing her coffee.

The ensign acting as chief engineer shrugged. "If my crew is good, I'm loyal to them. Where the crew goes, I will go."

"Thank you," Sam said to Erin. "I appreciate that." To Wally she nodded. "The plus side about getting a new ship is that everyone will be going together."

Kaj nodded his head back and forth a little. After debating about whether or not to voice his concern, he decided to anyway. Better to get it in the open rather than let it eat at him.
"Is this all confirmed or in writing? After the Cape Town blew there were promises made by command that they would keep the crew together, and that never came to fruition? Far be it from me to doubt anybodies pips but to most admirals we're just names on a PADD and shuffled accordingly."

"It's as confirmed as it can be," Sam assured him. "The circumstances behind the Calypso becoming available were not clearly detailed, but there is no question that we will be getting the ship. It'll be at Starbase Typhon a day after we get there. That will give you all a chance for a break before we move ships."

She looked around the table. "We will have some time to settle in as well. They're estimating a week to transfer over. That should give your people time for some shore leave. Everyone should have at least two days off. More if we can get moved over quickly. It'll mostly be personal items and such. The ship is already fully stocked."

Sheridan looked over at the captain. "I believe a few protocols will be needed before docking to prevent the voles from spreading to the Starbase too. I'm sure their aware of our situation."

"Are the fighter craft going to be transferred as well, or are we taking over the ones on board the Calypso, Ma'am?" Randy was wondering if all the work that had gone into painting names on the ships was going to have been all in vain.

"They'll go with us. Except we'll get a new firefly."

~Why do I feel like I'm in front of a board of inquiry?~ Sam asked Damon, using her telepathy to keep the thought private.
