Commander Fred Lurado XO reporting.

An incoming transmission came to the Skytouchers bridge.
"USS Skytoucher, this is Captain Fred Lurado on Shuttlepod 5, I am nearing your location. Prepare for my boarding within the hour"

*Sits in the command chair*
"Where are we currently?"

Lurado still stood at the bridge. "What is the current status of  Dantor? Are Starphoenix's crew able to inhabit the base, or are they all on thier ships?".

Thanks for the advice, I've been commanding for over a year now so I'm sure I should be fine. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Putting aside our current full mission, where are we now? I will take some time to get to know where we are and what we're doing but it may take time"

"Romulans?...Very Well, I will come right away admiral. Close Channel"
He stood and walked to the turbolift, talking quickly as he went.
"Put the ship on red alert if it is not already on that status. Keep a watch, if a Romulan ship comes anywhere near us contact me on the Lothlorien, the highest ranking bridge officer has command, I noticed the commander left and I am not aqainted with who is who".  

OOC: I would certainly have no problem with that, it would fit in the storyline and give me some time fo get up to date with the ships mission. What station is active? It doesn't matter to me which I come from. I came to the ship straight up as directed in the e-mail.

*Enters the bridge*
"Ships Captain reporting in, A delight to meet everyone. I am sure we can become better aqainted later, what is the current mission?"

OFF: I am here. I have clearly not been able to get here, had I been able to leave notice I would have. There is no need to kick me out of the postion.

Lurado stood. "Admiral? If your need is urgent I can speak with you here, now. I do not see what could need a private channel. However if you insist I can talk with you in my ready room"

OOC: Again, I thank you for the advice. I am sure I can handle it from there. Roleplay isn't a new thing for me, trust me http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

The shuttle was now very near the ship
"Shuttlepod 5, requesting permission to dock in the Skytoucher's shuttlebay" The pilot came onto the Comm. Then the captain spoke after. "I look forward to meeting everyone, I will make for the bridge when we dock".

Lurado exited the turbolift as it halted at the bridge. At his first sight of the bridge, he took notice of every detail. He then went to the First Officer. "Commander, good to meet you finally. I know only so much about the ships current situation. Perhaps it would be best that I be briefed, short if time is short, but briefed nonetheless".

Lurado noticed the officer that had traveled with him rise up. He caught a glimpse of the 2 pips on his collar.
"A wonderful ship, isn't in lieutenant? This captain's used to the smaller class, I was shuffled between two defiant classes before now. Nothing made me happier than to hear I was getting command of a Nebula class"

The shuttle docked at the ships shuttlebay, and the captain and science chief exited. "To the bridge with me, if you do not join me, I hope to see you again Lieutenant. It appears we are both newcomers to the Skytoucher"
