::sitting at her desk in her Ready Room, drinking down the last of a cup of coffee::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::walks into CNS Offices:: Roberts: Chris, I need to speak with you a moment?

FCO_Adams says:
::at her station monitoring the Gryphon's course to the Tranquility System::

XO_OMallory says:
::on way to Bridge::

CTO_Hunter says:
::at the tactical station::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts>CNS: How can I help you, Heather?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Roberts: I need to see S'Vorik's case file or I need to have you tell me what is going on. I need to have my report into the Captain and the Executive officer on the status of our current cases, and I have Mauro asking me about why his Hydroponics Lead is distracted from his duty.

CMO_Turok says:
::In sickbay, going over the last of the Telepath test results::

OPS_Shania says:
::leaves her quarters to begin her duty shift::

CEO_Taylor says:
::As the doors of his quarters "swishes" open, Michael takes a deep breath::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts>::grows pale:: CNS: ::hesitantly:: Uh... sure, Heather... can we speak privately in your office?

XO_OMallory says:
::arrives on Bridge and heads for command chair::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::on the bridge, talking to CIV about the information the CO asked::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::leaves Ready Room and enters Bridge::

XO_OMallory says:
CO: Captain...

OPS_Shania says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: Roberts: Yes. ::goes into her office and goes to the replicator::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods at XO and goes towards Sci Station::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: mmm... new info about the races .... ::taps on her console::

XO_OMallory says:
::looks over ship reports::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Replicator: Vanilla Nut Coffee, fair and sweet. ::looks at Roberts:: Roberts: You want anything?

CEO_Taylor says:
::Michael gets out of his quarters. Hears the doors "swish" back to a closed state::

CTO_Hunter says:
All: Captain on Deck. ::snaps to attention::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::snaps to attention herself for a second as his voice booms out::  CTO: Thank you Mr. Hunter ::smiles::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts> CNS: No thank you. ::takes a seat, but sits on edge of it, waiting eagerly::

FCO_Adams says:
::notices the Captain enter the bridge:: CO: Captain, 15 minutes to Tranquility System.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Thank you.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::gets coffee and sits in her chair at her desk:: Roberts: So tell me what is going on with S'Vorik.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I think it's time to share this info with Captain Spencer and Commander O'Mallory.

CEO_Taylor says:
::As the doors of his turbo lift "swishes" open, Michael takes a deep breath::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts> CNS: Well, I did not want you to find out this way, but.... it seems S'Vorik has feelings for you.

OPS_Shania says:
::whistles while she waits for the lift to arrive on deck 1::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Share what? ::as she nears them, smiles at the CIV as well::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Of course, it is critical information.

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks the threat board for any contacts::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::is surprised:: Roberts: Feelings? Uh.... isn't S'Vorik a Vulcan? They are not supposed to display emotions and so forth.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: We found new information about both races.

FCO_Adams says:
::watches Adrel from the corner of her eye::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts> CNS: Well, as we know that is a cultural aspect of Vulcans. They still have them and experience them, they just do not express them. It is more difficult for S'Vorik, since he is only Half-Vulcan, the other part is Betazoid.

XO_OMallory says:
::overhears CSO and heads to SCI::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Want to do the honors and tell the Captain what we found? ::smiles::

CEO_Taylor says:
::Michael gets in the turbo lift. The doors "swish" back to a closed state::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CIV: Well good, what did you find out? ::leans against the console::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::feels sorry for S'Vorik:: Roberts: Well, I am... uncertain as to what to say. How long has this been going on?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts> CNS: About a month and a half.

OPS_Shania says:
::steps off the TL and walks to her station::

XO_OMallory says:
::listens to CIV::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::notes the OPS's tardy arrival::

CIV_Adrel says:
::sees the XO approach:: XO: Sir, we were just about to tell new information about both races to the Capt.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Roberts: I see. Hm.... ::Thinks: Oh dear, that places it just about the time of my love spell. Maybe I will have to ask Rhiannon for some guidance as to what to do about the situation.::

XO_OMallory says:
CIV: Proceed.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Roberts: Are you going to let me see the file now that you have told me?

CTO_Hunter says:
::watches OPS walk across the deck and enjoys the view for a second::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO: Well, Xenobiology determined that both the Hokam and the Rancide appear to be from the same genetic stock.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts> CNS: Yes. I suppose. I'll be right back.

CEO_Taylor says:
::A moment after Michael instructed the computer to go to the bridge, the turbo lift started to rise for what seems a slow speed. But in reality, the lift was going at its usual quick speed::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Roberts: No need, just have it on my desk for when I get back. I will review it then. And let me make this perfectly understood... ::pauses for effect:: you are not to ever to hide files from me again. In this office, we need to be able to trusteach other.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/XO: Hokam have virtually no body hair.  Rancide have very fine, almost invisible blonde body hair

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: hmmmm Same original planet then.. maybe?

OPS_Shania says:
::takes over her station from Ens. Ratcliff::

FCO_Adams says:
::sees Hunter almost smile for a second::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts> CNS: I did not mean for this to turn into a trust issue, when you read the file you may well understand my motives.

CEO_Taylor says:
::As the doors of the turbo lift "swishes" open, Michael takes a deep breath::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Roberts: I am sorry. I think I understand why you did it, I am just not happy about it and I don't want it ever happening again. I just want to make it perfectly clear.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns her attentions back to her console and her sensors::

CEO_Taylor says:
::Michael walks onto the bridge with a smile::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<Roberts>CNS: Understood.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: It is possible that they do come from the same planet... or maybe the same ancestors at one point in time.

OPS_Shania says:
::checks the readings::

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks down at his panel hopefully before anyone noticed::

CEO_Taylor says:
Self: Alright, no more Jenna, let's go to work...

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: Roberts: Very good. I am on my way to the bridge, if you need me I will be there.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CIV: That is interesting. Have they had much past contact with each other, that you know of?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: It is possible.  They are humanoids, each have longer than normal fingers and slightly enlarge rear cranium.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::leaves offices and goes to TL::

FCO_Adams says:
::checks her LRS::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::cracks a smile; thought he was going to say enlarged rear ends for a second:: CSO: I see

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: We know they both trade with the Trill.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::arrives on bridge::

CTO_Hunter says:
::decides it time to run an intruder alert drill::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CIV: That is a plus on both sides, the Trill are very particular about their goods.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::goes to her chair, purposefully not looking at ENG1::

CTO_Hunter says:
::sends the order to MCPO Hardnose to get into his "'Badguy" gear::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods at CNS as she enters::
CIV/CSO: Anything else?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at CO::

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/XO: Both are seclusive societies and only recently have been encouraged to begin the application processto UFP. The Hokam's primary export is aquatic products, mostly unprocessed. That is probably why Trill trades with them.
The Rancide's primary export is highly processed aquatic products.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at the XO:: XO: Commander LRS show normal freighter traffic in the area, nothing else at the moment.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::smiles back::

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Understood.  Continue on course.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO:  But they have a reason, captain.  Hokam are patriarchal society, while the Rancide are matriarchal.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::listens to CIV, wishes she was here to hear more of what she'd had to say::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Those are just opposite in all respects.. this should prove interesting, for all.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Yes, captain. I agree.  This should be an interesting situation. ::smiles::

CTO_Hunter says:
<Hardnose>::gets Hunter’s message and goes to his quarters and changes into an all black outfit and grabs his special back::

XO_OMallory says:
CIV: DO we know why they want to be part of the UFP?

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: You take the Hokam under your wing.. I shall converse with the Rancide, if we need to split up.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO/XO/CO: And the fact that they are opposite might be the cause of some tensions.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CIV: Could work to their advantage if they look at it the right way also.

XO_OMallory says:
CO: Aye Captain.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO: Oh, each society has a highly developed social structure with major decisions being decided by public referendum.

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Shall I arrange an honor guard for both parties?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::hopes the Captain will ask her for her assistance::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: I don't know why they want to join the UFP... maybe because they trade with the Trill and saw how the UFP works?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: Yes Mr. Hunter that will be fine, be sure to arrange them in their respective sex's.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: OPS RECEIVES COMM FROM REPRESENTATIVES OF EACH PLANET

CEO_Taylor says:
::Is still a bit confused::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: I agree.  Perhaps they like the UFP way.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, entering Tranquility System.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/XO/CSO: I think we told you all new info we were able to retrieve for now. We will keep checking reports for new info.

Italia says:
#::sits in the Seat of Decision, waiting for her comm to go through::

XO_OMallory says:
CIV: Keep us informed and good work.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Just another thing, Captain.  This sector was once claimed by Cardassia, but had no support.  It is unclaimed until now.

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Thank you, Cmdr. And I am not alone in that, Lt MacLeod is also doing a good job. ::smiles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Thank you.. ::moves down to center deck but looks back::
CSO/CIV: Nice work.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: I’ve got incoming comms from both planets.

Host CO_Spencer says:
OPS: Which one came in first?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Thank you, sir. ::smiles and looks at Cassie::

Koch says:
@::Tries again, impatient::  COM: Gryphon:  This is representative Koch of the Hokam embassy...respond?

XO_OMallory says:
::moves to Captain's side::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Good work, Mr. MacLeod. Now, let's try and find new info.

FCO_Adams says:
::wiggles her foot so Mackie can see and get the message::

CTO_Hunter says:
::begins arranging the honor guard and cancels the intruder alert for know::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Rancide by 7 seconds. ::grins::

Host CO_Spencer says:
OPS: Let that one in.. on screen. Ask the other to wait but 5 minutes, explain why,

Host CO_Spencer says:
::stands center deck facing the screen, hands behind back.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sees Cassie's foot and understands the message, thinks "Oh, you...", then smiles::

XO_OMallory says:
::looks up at screen::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::puts the representative from Rancide on screen and sends a message to the other::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Sure. ::back to his console::

Italia says:
#:;smiles:: COMM CO: Ahh, greetings on behalf of the glorious Rancide. I am Italia.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Xenobiology has always been one of my favorite subjects. But it can be a long and hard task....

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at the screen, sees Italia:: Self: Curious... Italia?  A Terran country name...

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM: Rancide: Italia: We are honored. ::smiles and bows head a tad:: I am Captain Spencer USS Gryphon

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks his board::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::looks at view screen::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I prefer stellar cartography. ::smiles::

Koch says:
@::Taps his foot, seeing the message from the Gryphon::  Self:  What foolishness...  ::Sinks back into his seat with a "hmph"::

FCO_Adams says:
::drums her fingers on the edge of her flight console::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I love stellar cartography as well. Both are great!

Italia says:
#CO: Greetings, sister. I am aware that those barbarians... those... Hokam have contacted you as well. But I see you spoke with the glorious Rancide first. I am gratified. And I welcome you to Tranquility.

XO_OMallory says:
::sees Italia on screen::

CEO_Taylor says:
::goes toward CIV and CSO::

CIV_Adrel says:
::looks at the screen:: CSO: The Rancide have their female representative... I bet we will see a man to represent the Hokam.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checking for extra info:: CIV: It seems we're off extra info.  We have to collect more directly with them.

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM: Rancide: Italia: We took the first call that came in to be honest.  We will not play favorites.We invite you to the ship as we will do to the Hokam here in a moment, will that meet with your approval?

CEO_Taylor says:
CIV,CSO: May I be of any assistance, guys?

CIV_Adrel says:
CEO: Mr. Taylor! Welcome to the bridge. We don't see you up here very often.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sees the CEO approaching:: CEO: Lieutenant! ::smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks the system info::

Italia says:
#::folds her long fingers before her:: COMM: CO: I suppose that will do. As long as those Hokam... will agree to it on your terms.

CEO_Taylor says:
CIV: Well, I try to come as much as I can, at least, when I'm not being imprisoned by old foes. ::smiles::

CTO_Hunter says:
::is glad to see everything nice an quiet for once…hopeful this will be a boring mission for his department....unfortunately he knows Mr. Murphey is waiting some where::

CIV_Adrel says:
CEO: Assistance... well... ::looks at CSO:: I don't think we need any at the moment.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns slightly to see Taylor on the bridge:: Self: Oh no, not him again!

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::tries not to overhear CEO's conversation::

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM: Rancide: Italia: I will have my operations Officer contact your transporter room, please transport at your convenience.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CEO: We're just fine. ::reads the info::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at OPS and nods::

XO_OMallory says:
CO: This should be quite interesting...::whispers::

CEO_Taylor says:
CIV: I see... Well, if anything blows up, you know who to call.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns slightly and nods back:: <W> XO: Yes.

CIV_Adrel says:
CEO: Thank you Lt.

Italia says:
#:: watches the comm cut off and walks gracefully to her TR::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: On it. ::contacts the transporter and stands by for transport::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::momentarily frowns and looks rather annoyed, realizes the expression on her face and exchanges it for a more placid one::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: So... what are you up to? Checking the system?

Host CO_Spencer says:
OPS: Contact the other ship.. on screen please.

Koch says:
@::Curses under his breath in Hokam, wondering how cozy that Italia is trying to make herself with Starfleet::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: See...  7 planets...  Rancide and Hokam are most hospitable...

XO_OMallory says:
CO: And our next contestant. ::smiles a bit::

OPS_Shania says:
::puts the Hokam representative on screen::

Host CO_Spencer says:
<W>XO: XO remind the OPS I should be addressed as Sir... we are getting much to lack on the bridge.

CEO_Taylor says:
::Looks around and sees CNS - He begins to walk slowly towards her::

Italia says:
#::steps up on her TR pad with her retainers and signals the Gryphon for transport::

XO_OMallory says:
OPS: I shall see to it sir...

Koch says:
@::Suddenly puts on a smile and looks toward the screen::  COMM: CO:  Greetings on behalf of the Hokam delegation.  I am Chief Negotiator Koch.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Yes...  They are the 4th and 5th planets... ::still checking::...  the first planet is gaseous...

CIV_Adrel says:
::looks at the CSO's screen:: CSO: 1 moon each... the systems has quite a nice group of different kinds of planets.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Second is molten and the third is desert like.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: The last two are ice balls! Ack! I have ice and snow... I’ve never had a good experience with snow...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Wow! ::sees the last two::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::Big Smile:: COM: Hokam: Koch: I am honored Sir, I am Captain Spencer if the USS Gryphon, we are pleased to be here at your request.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: They are huge!

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Understood SIR!

FCO_Adams says:
::looks up at the Hokam representative and smiles::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: We have the system information, do you want it now?

XO_OMallory says:
CIV: Compile and send it to me a bit later.

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Aye.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at screen, sees the Hokam representative::

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks his board::

Koch says:
@::Still slightly irritated, though hiding it rather well::  CO:  Yes, yes, of course...if I might pose a suggestion, your fine vessel would make an excellent meeting place.  ::Smiles wide::

CEO_Taylor says:
::hesitates and then says:: CNS: Lieutenant... May we speak?

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: The XO wants us to compile all the system info and give it to him later.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::hears Taylor, looks at him, stays calm:: CEO: Sure. What do you need?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::whispers:: CIV: They are ugly! ::smiles::  Well, I'll check the system, just in case.

CTO_Hunter says:
::is glad all is still clear::

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM: Hokam: Koch: We would love to have you aboard, and was to be my next ... sentence. We have invited the Rancide here as well; they look forward to the negotiations as I hope you do. ::smiles sincerely::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Oh, I heard... ::taps his console::  Done.  Sending to his console. ::sends::

CIV_Adrel says:
::whispers:: CSO: Maybe you find them ugly, but remember they might say the same of you.

CEO_Taylor says:
::raises eyebrows:: CNS: What do you think?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::giggles and whispers:: CIV: That I believe.

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders what Heather and Michael are chatting about::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::looks confused:: CEO: About what?

Host CO_Spencer says:
::frowns a tad over at CSO and CIV hoping the "guest" on the viewer did not catch any of that::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: You should have the system info now, Lt MacLeod sent it to your console.

OPS_Shania says:
::beams Italia to the Gryphon::

XO_OMallory says:
CIV: Thank you. ::looks over data::

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM: Hokam: Koch: We can have you transported at your convenience in moments.

Koch says:
@::Sinks a bit at the mere mention of the Rancide, but again, recovers well::  CO:  Very good, Captain.  I am ready now, if you please...

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Honor guards are ready.

OPS_Shania says:
::gets ready to beam Koch over::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::looks at him patiently waiting for him to respond to her question::

XO_OMallory says:
CO: Ready Room or Conference Room 2 for your meeting?

FCO_Adams says:
::thinks Heather looks sad::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: What else do we need to do... mmm... no more extra info unless we get access to their databanks.... system info was found...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::scans the sector::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CEO: You look distant. Is there something you want to talk about?

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: <W>Conference, and please go and meet our guest and ask him if it is possible to rendezvous at the other planet to pick up the other one. <W>

CEO_Taylor says:
::whispers:: CNS: You and I not talking to each  other... or that kiss in the corridor perhaps.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I don't think it is a good idea to access their database unless they give us permission...  Well, not now.

XO_OMallory says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::heads off Bridge to meet our guest::

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM: Hokam: Koch: It will just take a few moments as we get into range of your planet.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Ah. Well it seems I have a spare moment. If you want to talk, it would be best to leave the bridge.

Italia says:
::waits in the Gryphon's TR for a representative to meet her:: Self: How rude...

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I don't want to access their database without their consent! Anyway, we have enough info for now.... better scan the region then... wouldn't want to be surprised by a nebula, a meteor shower or something strange...

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: Fine.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CEO: You lead the way.

FCO_Adams says:
::lays in a course to the Hokam home world:: CO: Captain course laid in.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I'd bet on something stranger...

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: Lets go to my office. ::gets into the TL::

XO_OMallory says:
::arrives in TR1 and greets Italia::  ITALIA: Welcome to the Gryphon.  I am LtCmdr. O'Mallory, XO.

Koch says:
@CO:  Certainly, Captain.  ::Smiles wide::  I await your arrival.  ::Nods slightly, cuts the comm::

CTO_Hunter says:
<Honor guard>::enters the transporter room::

CIV_Adrel says:
::scans the region around the ship::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::follows CEO::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: We need permission from Italia, first hold that one minute. ::smiles::

Italia says:
::doesn't answer for a moment:: XO: I am Italia.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Space is so unpredictable that is what makes it so interesting.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye Captain, on your order.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::in TL:: CEO: Do you want to wait until we are in your office?

XO_OMallory says:
Italia: If I may, I can show you to the conference room.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Yes...  one time to another we can have a Borg ship aiming on us. ::smiles::

Italia says:
::makes no attempt to move:: XO: Why did the woman not come?

Koch says:
@Self:  A female captain!  By the gods; what foolishness!  ::Shakes his head the whole time, while waiting for transport::

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: I just want you to talk to me...

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns:: CNS: Llewellyn, sorry to interrupt your chat, would you meet me in the conference room to ready for our guests?

XO_OMallory says:
Italia: Our Captain is currently on the Bridge getting ready to transport Koch.  IF that is alright?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CEO: I have always been here to talk to you.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::sees she is not there and frowns::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I wonder what each race will think of us.... one will think we are crazy to have a Female Captain, the other will applaud but comment on the XO...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::double checks the area:: CIV: Nothing, so far.

CIV_Adrel says:
::continues her scan::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::taps her badge hard::*Llewellyn* Sorry to interrupt your chat, would you meet me in the conference room to ready for our guests?

Italia says:
::stare hardens just a bit:: XO: It will do. ::brushes past him, followed by her retainers::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I believe we'll have Captain Spencer and Commander O'Mallory to speak to each race.  That should be interesting.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Well that is my cue.... gotta go. We will have to talk later.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
*CO* On my way, Sir.

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: Alright. ::sighs::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
TL: Bridge.

XO_OMallory says:
*CO* We apparently have permission, Captain...

Koch says:
@::Gets two aides together, stands by for transport::

CEO_Taylor says:
::gets back up to the bridge::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I mean, Captain Spencer would talk to the Rancide and Commander O'Mallory, to the Hokam.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Fine, thank you.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::arrives on bridge, goes to Captain::

XO_OMallory says:
::follows Italia to guides to conference room::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CO: You wanted to see me sir?

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I do wish that's what they plan... if not it will be interesting...

Host CO_Spencer says:
CNS: Yes, I believe i said meet me in the conference room. ::turns to FCO: FCO: At your disposal.
OPS: Prepare to transport another when we are in range.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Sir.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Engaging course now, Captain.

XO_OMallory says:
::arrives at conference room:: Italia: IS there anything I can get for you?

CEO_Taylor says:
::is now on the bridge::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Do you need us in the Conference room, Captain?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CO: I apologize. ::goes to Conference Room and waits::

OPS_Shania says:
::gets the ok to beam Koch aboard and does so:: CO: I'M beaming the Hokam representative to the ship now.

Italia says:
::glances over at O'Mallory:: XO: No. I have no need of anything you can give me. I only need directions.

CTO_Hunter says:
::runs a diagnostic on his system::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Please, you and… ::points at CIV::
FCO: You have the bridge.

XO_OMallory says:
Italia: Ok...I am sure the Captain will be with you shortly.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::wonders why Taylor picked that moment to try to talk, figures he "won't have the time off duty"::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: Captain? Aye.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir. ::looks at CIV:: CIV: So? ::signs so she can pass by him::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO/ OPS: Don’t get into any trouble while we are gone. ::smiles::
CTO: Make sure security is standing by for any trouble.

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye sir.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I guess we better have Ens Johnson come so we have someone up here while we are in there. ::gets up::

FCO_Adams says:
:;stays in her seat  and smiles at the Captain::

XO_OMallory says:
Italia: Anything to drink or eat before we begin?

CSO_MacLeod says:

XO_OMallory says:
Koch: It is good to hear that you all have agreed to this talk. ::begins to walk with Koch to CR::
