Location: USS Apparition NCC-20401
Scene: CO Ready Room
Stardate: 2.80422
=======================================
[[Bridge to Captain Lawrence]]
Jax put down the padd he was staring at, some fit rep for one of the security
officers, he still had to choose a chief for the department, one of the last
senior staff positions he had to fill "Lawrence, go"
[[Starbase 9 Operations reports that final crew rotation has been completed]]
The Apparition had been docked at Starbase 9 for 2 days, longer than had been
anticipated. One of the tender vessels had an engineering breakdown on its way
to the station and couldn’t make more than warp 1 the entire trip. "Very well,
Helm, take us out of dock and make for the wormhole." Jax stood up and walked
from his office onto the bridge of his ship, and took the chair his exec, a
fresh faced Lieutenant Commander, vacated.
"We are clear captain, setting course for the Wormhole." Jax watched the
forward viewer as the wormhole sprang to life in front of them and swallowed
the ship. It was only a few minutes, but the time within the vortex seemed to
take both hours and seconds. "Gamma Terminus in 5...4...3...2...1..." The
vortex disappeared from the screen replaced by a star field.
"Set a course for GS2, warp 6. Tactical, engage cloak and ECM systems." Jax
triggered the all com button on his chair arm "Bridge to all hands, we are now
running silent. No unnecessary electronic noise permitted."
The lights all over the ship dimmed, or went out completely. It was the
computer making their electronic and power usage signature as small as
possible. It aided the cloak in allowing the starship to avoid detection.

"Captain, we are approaching gateway security perimeter."
"Drop out of warp, switch to impulse power, ahead full."
"Request permission to transmit security codes"
"Denied. This will be a test of this ship's stealth capabilities. Helm,
continue on course, take us to the following coordinates."
"Captain, that will take us to a point 1 meter off the stations hull."
"I know" Jax replied with a grin.

Anaqueen sighed as she sipped her second iced cappuccino that day. It was
turning out that it would most likely be a 3 or 4 cup day minimum, between the
reporters circling like terran vultures smelling a fresh kill, and still more
angry complaints from the civilians who were harassed by Marines, and now by
the marines over their new CO.
The alarms went off without warning, a loud siren of a collision alarm, and
immediately all the alert lighting lit up bathing the entire station in a sea
of red. Her heart nearly stopped as she peered out her window, about to call on
the Operations officer in order to determine the reason for the alarms when a
battle grey wall appeared from nothingness in front of her window.

USS Apparition - Deck 01

Jax grinned darkly he knew that the ship's sudden appearance would set off a
series of alarms in gateway's Operations center.
"Hail from Gateway Operations"
"On screen"
Jax leaned back in his chair as Ana appeared on screen {{Just what are you
think…}} she paused as she recognized the officer in the chair {{Figures it
would be you! What is the meaning of this mister Lawrence?}}
"Just testing the Apparitions stealth systems. Work fairly well I think."
{{Are you docking or merely here to test my heart conditioning?}}
"Docking I suppose, there's a few transfers that need to be taken care of."
{{I want to see you in my office now Mister Lawrence. Permission granted to
dock}}
"Oops, I guess its time to get yelled at" he said with a smirk. The other
bridge crew snickered around him. "Commander, you have the bridge, commence
docking procedure." He stood and left the bridge heading for his quarters.

USS Apparition - CO Quarters

He entered to see LJ entertaining Iccy with his guitar, making up random chords
and stringing them together to make impromptu yes fascinating random songs.
"We've arrived LJ. You can carry out your plan. Use transporter room 2, the
operator has been instructed to allow you access."
LJ replied with the same smirk that Jax had just worn on the bridge. Before
leaving the room and going to the designated transporter room.
====
GS2 – Daisy's Room
====
Gavi was by her bedside, showing her his homework. As she recovered she was
taking more and more of a role in her children's lives again, all the while
trying to be patient to hear about LJ. "Your grammer is improving Gavi, I'm
proud of you"
The young teen boy smiled happily at the praise. He felt this weird sensation
crawl over his skin, and Daisy looked at him in shock as a flask of black light
enveloped him, then vanished with him as his clothing and padd fell to the
ground in a heap.
====
GS2 - Operations Center
====
Various officers were putting out brushfires that the appearance of the
starship had caused with the automated systems. They heard a low hum briefly
and looked over near the view screen to see a naked adolescent appear in a
flash of black light. The youngster looked around in confusion, then noticed
his lack of attire, before whimpering and diving behind a console.
Today definitely was an interesting day for the Gateway crew.
