Summary:
2392.07.12, 2392.07.16 & 2392.07.23:
When ACMO Vok returned from the mission to the Delta Quadrant, he found nobody waiting for him. He expected the love of his life: Commander Truesdale, to waiting for him. An emotional letter written by Truesdale though, told him that she had left him. . .
2392.11.29:
Pandora Station's entire senior crew was present to hear Captain Denorian talk about the upcoming Christmas and New Years Eve celebrations. . . which the crew had to organise. In secrecy.
2392.12.05:
The kid Wahlis discovered that his parents were busy in an activity they rather embarrassingly called 'checking the sheets'. Apparently this activity had to be done without any clothes on. Wahlis was sent out of the room, and wondered the corridors, until Chief of Operations Tiburo tripped over him. STC Jaal came and have a look at what exactly was going on.
2392.12.18:
Commander Jeff Jalando, FO of the USS Odyssey, wasn't very pleased with the delays in the repairs to his ship. The delays were caused though, by Pandora's Engineering crew having to work on multiple ships at once: amongst those ships was the USS Atlantis. So, Jalando contacted his counterpart on the Atlantis, FO Paul Velden, to sort out this problem. Unfortunately, Commander Velden didn't seem to agree to let the Odyssey be repaired first. . .
2392.12.21:
Lieutenant Mphilo Morabulu, formerly the ACEO of Pandora Station, returned from a temporary assignment, and reported in to the Captain. Unfortunately, the Lieutenant hadn't bothered to see who was in command, or what changes had taken place since he had left. So Morabulu reported in to a Captain he didn't know, on a Station with a lot of senior crewmembers whom he had never seen before. Still he was made CEO, and put to work in the Engineering department.
2392.12.23:
Captain Denorian ordered Chief of OPS Tiburo to let it snow in the Park. It had been done before, after all, and it would look nice at the celebrations. But instead of letting it snow, the environmental controls accidentally let it rain. Petty Officer Gnone, from the Valkyrie, went to 'assist' Tiburo with the repairs.
During all of this, Captain Kane was in the process of setting up the largest Christmas Tree ever seen on Pandora Station. Kane talked to Denorian about the difference between rain and snow, since maybe the Pandora CO had forgotten. . .
Also, Melissa Kinnard -daughter of FOPS Kane- and Koda Nerfertii -younger brother of 2O/STC Nerfertii of the Odyssey, who had been surprised by the rain in the park- met and talked about rain, the view over the park, and other things.
Mr. Schofield of the USS Valkyrie also walked in the Park, although he didn't seem to mind the rain. He then went to the Promenade to get something for his girlfriend, Ms. Alvarez. The latter also wanted to buy something for Mr. Schofield, and got help in the matter from Pandora's own STC Jaal.
CMO Marck wasn't bothered by the rain. . . especially because he saw Ms. Waldau was: the rain had made her clothes rather wet, and Marck was very apt in noticing Waldau's. . . shall we say female forms. Naturally, Marck went over to talk to her.
2392.12.24:
Science Officer Sophronia of the USS Calhoun talked with CSO Jomorr of the USS Atlantis, Science Officer Alvarez of the USS Valkyrie, and STC Jaal of Pandora Station, about her, and their adventures on board the various dutystations.
2392.12.25:
The Christmas celebration started! And in a spectacular way, one might say. Captain Denorian, dressed as the old Earth mythical/historical figure of Santa Claus, descended from the Park ceiling in a sled, which was actually a couple of anti-grav units linked together. The Pandora CO gave a speech about Christmas, about what it meant to have things, and wished everyone a merry christmas! Honoured guests were of course the various Admirals who had attended: Admirals Baine, Cussler, Anyanka, Khatibi and Truesdale.
During this Christmas celebration -and after Denorian's speech- Captain Denebris of the USS Valkyrie talked to Commander Paul Velden of the USS Atlantis, before they were interrupted -or rather bumped into- by Science Officer Sophronia of the USS Calhoun. The Commander and the Captain excused themselves though, and went on talking.
Mr. Schofield also bumped into someone: Admiral Baine to be exact, who was just talking to his colleague, AcadCM Anyanka. Schofield quickly walked away again though, as his girlfriend gave him a present.
