Commander Toryn Raga - Recall, Totally

[Rameses]

((Celestial Tide Sanctuary, Lolagi IV))

Toryn smiled as he watched his kids, who were now three years of age, being tended to by Ishka and their Haemachuo teacher. It had been the first time they'd been off the ship and on a planet since coming to the Ronin. 

Niac:  =/\= Niac to Raga.  Commander, sound the general recall, we need to break orbit as soon as possible. =/\=

The incoming comm caused him to step away for a moment and he tapped his badge. The urgency in Karrod’s tone had him concerned. 

Raga:  =/\= Of course, what’s going on? I assume this has to do with that communique from earlier? =/\=

Toryn glanced back towards Ishka and telepathically let her know they’d need to leave. 

Niac: =/\= Everyone is on need to know until we're briefed by two specialists Starfleet has already dispatched.  Once the crew is aboard we need to intercept the USS Goodall...I'm sending their current position to the helm right now...we're supposed to get more information once we connect with them. =/\=

Raga:  =/\= Understood. I’ll recall the crew, but what about the ceremony we had planned? Are we going to postpone it? =/\=

Toryn could hear Karrod grinding his teeth through the commline. 

Niac: =/\= Unfortunately there's no time for our traditional gathering.  I'll make an announcement to the crew after we get underway and meet with a few of them in person...but we'll have to do it on the fly.  How long until we can get all our people off the planet? =/\=

Raga:  =/\= They’re spread all over. Some on the ship, many on the planet. I believe roughly two thirds. But they’ll understand. I imagine we could get everyone back within the hour.  =/\=

Niac: =/\= Tell them to skip the souvenir shop.  And advise Chief Tucker we're going to maximum warp as soon as we break orbit.  Hope you enjoyed our little vacation while it lasted Toryn.  Advise me the minute the last groups are back aboard. =/\=

Toryn watched as a transporter shimmer enveloped his family. He couldn’t help but smile to himself. Ishka had served Starfleet many years and knew what the urgency meant. He spared a glance at the water below, this place was beautiful. But, duty called. 

Raga: =/\= Yes, sir. And I did. We’ll get another one soon enough. Beside, duty calls. I’ll let you know. Raga out.  =/\=

Toryn took the briefest of moments to feel the breeze in his hair before he tapped the comm badge on his trench coat. 

Raga: =/\= Raga to all hands. I hate to cut our leave short, but this is an emergency recall effective immediately. All crew are ordered to report back to the ship within the hour for immediate departure. Report to your department heads as soon as you are on board and we’ll be briefed en route. Senior staff are to report to the bridge as soon as possible. You can pick up souvenirs next time so no lingering by shops. Captain’s orders. =/\= ::no sooner had he closed the line than he tapped his badge again:: =/\= Raga to Ronin. One to beam up. =/\=

The shimmer enveloped him as he took in the last look at the sanctuary. 

((Bridge, Deck 3, USS Ronin))

Toryn strode onto the bridge as he stepped out of the turbolift, his jacket getting a brief tug to smooth any wrinkles while he crossed the distance from the front of the room to the center chair. 

He knew Karrod was in his ready room, likely behind a fort made of padds, and settled into the middle chair as some of the crew began to filter in as well.

Raga: Miss Nicolau. Let me know as soon as the crew is on board and all accounted for. 

Nicolau: Response

The Al-Leyan nodded and looked up to meet V’Len’s gaze as the second officer entered the bridge. 

Raga: Good to see you got some sun, Commander. At least someone got to enjoy a party this leave.

Toryn smirked as he said the well deserved rank. Head been a little hurt that he’d not been invited to the festivities regarding the Trilldorian’s promotion, but he’d been the one manning the bridge during that time. And he was proud of his friend for reaching this accolade in his career. 

Kel/Anyone: Response

Toryn smiled at his friend but shrugged his shoulders slightly. In his experience when missions were ‘need to know' that meant that Starfleet Intelligence was involved somehow. Which could mean that they were about to fly into any number of problematic scenarios. 

Raga: Not sure, but it’s need to know. The Captain’s going to fill us in once everyone’s on board and we’re underway. Same for the usual ceremony. We’re doing it en route. A bit unusual for us barring distress calls, so whatever it is Starfleet Command has us doing it must be urgent. And the secrecy suggests SFI is in the loop. 

Kel/Anyone: Response

((ooc: Hurray for a new mission.!))
