@XO: Why, thank you Commander.  Will go well with the wine Turok brought.  Please, have a seat.

CMO_Turok says:
@Stiffens a bit when the XO walks in, but tries to remain calm.::

EO_On says:
@TO: I was going to ask you the same thing, if is all right with you we can go to a mess hall in Starbase 78.

CTO_Krag says:
::Arrives at the Gryphon Docking port and looks for the security::

CEO_Solkar says:
::calls up various tech publications and scientific journals, reviewing the latest developments to keep up to date::

FCO_Adams says:
@::walks towards the airlock still trying to reach Mackie::

Rhynne says:
CSO: Why the long face?

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Can I get any of you something to drink?

TO_Sachs says:
@EO: Sounds good to me. ::Smiles::
EO_On says:
@::smiles back at the TO::

CIV_Adrel says:
@::finally arrives at the port and prepares to get off of the ship::
XO_Taylor says:
@ CO: Thank you, Captain. ::Sits down::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Stops and pulls Shania close::

CTO_Krag says:
::See no guards and just walks onto the ship, unchallenged... hmmm going to have to fix that::

XO_Taylor says:
@ CO: Some water, please.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Goes to the main room and sits::  CO: No.  Thank you.  I will wait for now.

FCO_Adams says:
@::steps through the airlock and onto the station::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@::gets some water and hands it to Taylor::

CIV_Adrel says:
@::sees an officer pass her by and wonders who he is::

CTO_Krag says:
@::almost runs into Adams as he enters the ship::

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: How are you?

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::Nods as he takes the water and takes a sip::

FCO_Adams says:
CTO: Oh excuse me sir.

TO_Sachs says:
@EO: So, tell me something about yourself...::Leads the way over to the Starbase::

CTO_Krag says:
@FCO: Excuse me

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Well, at least I get to see you from time to time.

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::Finds the silence a bit awkward but yet it's understandable::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Now Gentlemen, dinner will be a bit of time still.  Probably know why I asked you both here tonight.

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV:I am LT CMDR Krag. Where can I find the ship’s Captain or XO?

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Yup. ::looks at her::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Assumes it is a rhetorical question and says nothing::

EO_On says:
@TO: I don't know where to start. What exactly do you wish to know of myself? ::continues walking to the Starbase::

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: I am LtCmdr Adrel, Scientific Advisor. The Captain and XO are busy at the moment. Maybe I can help you?

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::slowly nods::

CTO_KraG says:
@::looks over the CIV::CIV: Not unless your the ships Second Officer.  I am the new Chief Tactical officer.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks around and heads for the nearest place to get a drink::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@CMO: Now, I have seen you are waiting for a public apology from Cmdr. Taylor, am I right?

CEO_Solkar says:
::downloads some of the material he is looking at to storage aboard the ship.. also runs a search for the latest replicator templates for equipment and downloads those, as well::

TO_Sachs says:
::Enters the mess hall:: EO: Anything, where you from?

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: But I still don't really like it

FCO_Adams says:
:;grabs a seat and looks around for Mackie::

XO_Taylor says:
@::Tries to keep calm and as emotionless as possible. He tries not to make any non-verbal remarks as well.

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Neither do I, Neither do I, but I am not cut out for starship duty.  I was lucky I did not get the crew killed yet.

OPS_Shania says:
::rolls eyes:: Kert: That is not true.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Stands up, looks at both men::  CO: Honor demands that I kill him for what he said...however, I understand that humans do not view honor as we Klingons do.  Therefore, I am prepared to accept such an apology in lieu of Commander Taylor's death.  Provided it is sincere.

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: No one was appointed second as of now. New CTO.... well, welcome aboard. Maybe I can help you in the mean time.

EO_On says:
::enter also the mess hall with the TO and motions her to take a sit:: TO: I'm from Earth, I was born in South America.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@CMO: Well, killing my first officer isn't quite right.  Like to leave that for myself.  ::smiles trying to make a small joke::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks up::  Rhynne: I'm waiting for someone...

FCO_Adams says:
::spots Mackie at another table and walks over:: CSO: So here you are at last. ::smiles::

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV: That depends who is the next Senior Person after the Captain and XO?

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Yes it is

Rhynne says:
CSO: Looks like she is here. ::smiles:: Is there something I can get for you two?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Raises an eyebrow::  Thinks "perhaps there is hope for O'Mallory yet".  CO: Of course sir, that is your right.

FCO_Adams says:
::nods to the bartender::

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks around, and looks more like a bar then a mess hall, she sits down::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::turns and sees Cassie, stands:: FCO: At last!   What happened?

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: I would be one of those as CEO and I, and now you, are all Lieutenant Commanders.

CEO_Solkar says:
::finishes up his work, for the moment... sees that his reserved time period for the holodeck is nearly here::

CSO_MacLeod says:
Rhynne:  I had enough of this. ::pushes the Glenmoran glass::  Thank you.

FCO_Adams says:
Ryhnne: Bring me what the Lieutenant is drinking please.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO: Now, I see you would rather not apologize in public feeling you have already, am I right?

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO: In private I mean.

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Oh well, if you say so.

TO_Sachs says:
EO: Well South America is a little big, can you be a little more specific.?

XO_Taylor says:
@CMO, CO: Although I do understand Turok's point of view, I also understand that he wants me to apologize to him in public for his honor, but what about mine? I am ready to understand the Klingon view of things, but not if he is not ready to understand mine.

Rhynne says:
CSO: What would you be drinking now? Water perhaps?

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV: But who is the senior Lieutenant Commander currently, yourself or the CEO?

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: I am.

Rhynne says:
::pours a Glenmora for the FCO anyway, hands it to her::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles:: Rhynne: That would be acceptable for me.

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Beside if I have no confidence in my ability I am a liability to the ship.

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: I guess so.

FCO_Adams says:
::sits down next to Mackie:: CSO: Just a mix up with the shore leave rotations. I took care of it.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO, CMO: I have come up with an idea, if you both agree to it...

Rhynne says:
::gets some Dasani for the CSO, hands it to him::

EO_On says:
TO: But, of course, is a little country called Ecuador. My father is an ambassador of this country in Italy.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: This will be voluntary only.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Was preparing to address Taylor's comments, but stops to hear the CO.::

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV: Very well.  Lieutenant Commander Krag, Reporting for duty.

CTO_Hunter says:
::Steals a kiss::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Good.  I got worried, even because you didn't answer my comms.

XO_Taylor says:
@::Listens carefully to CO, although he wishes he would have heard CMO's response::

TO_Sachs says:
EO: Wow, I’ve been there, my dad was with the military...got to go to a lot of places.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::picks up the Dasani:: Rhynne: Thanks. ::smiles::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: But I don't think anyone of the crew every thought you a bad CTO.

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: But I think it.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Now...Commander, you apologize to Turok in public, like he asks IF Turok does the same for attacking you.

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: On behalf of the Captain and crew, welcome aboard. I am sure the captain will want to see you as soon as he is available. Since you are an experienced officer anything you prefer to start off with?

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Sorry about that, am I forgiven? ::leans closer and kisses him on the cheek::

EO_On says:
TO: Lucky for you that you go to a lot of places in Earth with your father.

XO_Taylor says:
@ CO: That is acceptable.

CEO_Solkar says:
::A few steps from the holodeck, the CEO's communicator chirps::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@CMO: Lieutenant?

TO_Sachs says:
EO: Not really, didn't give you much chance to have friends...So, have a big family?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Sighs inwardly as that was exactly what he was trying to do on the bridge when O'Mallory stopped it.  CO: That will be...adequate.

CEO_Solkar says:
::taps badge:: Solkar here.

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Ok, I guess I can't change your mind anyway.

Rhynne says:
::steps away from the couple, trying to be discreetly available::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO, CMO: I would like you both to shake hands as agreement to that proposal

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::Is glad CMO agrees as this was the idea that Taylor had from the moment CMO asked him to apologize publicly::

CEO_Solkar says:
<CPO>CEO: Sir, we are getting some strange readings here....  we were in the process of shifting to shore power, and some of the subsystems are not tracking properly.

EO_On says:
TO: Yes, I have a big family. I have another brother and two sisters

XO_Taylor says:
@::Extends his hand to the CMO::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: There's nothing to forgive. ::smiles::

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV: No.  I will stow my gear and the check out the tactical department.   If there nothing else I be on my way ma'am.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Grips the XO's hand::

CEO_Solkar says:
<CPO>CEO: Several of the secondary systems have gone off-line and won't come back up. Nothing critical, but its strange.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Gentlemen, I don’t expect you to become instant friends, but I would like a more tolerating working relationship.

TO_Sachs says:
EO: Nice...must be nice. ::Sighs:: so shall we get something to drink..

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: So what's you idea for this time off, a swim at the beach, or some mountain climbing perhaps?

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at Shania::

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO Krag: Suit yourself. If you need help, just comm me. I will be on duty shortly. After all, I will go up there now, need to check the sensors.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: May we both try to work on that?

XO_Taylor says:
@::Looks into the CMO's eyes as he shakes his hands, which, for Taylor, is a sign of trust and "honor"::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: What is it?

EO_On says:
TO: Oh, yes. Let's ask the bartender to give us something, I guess. ::walks with the TO to the bar::

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::Nods to the CO's question::

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV: Aye Aye ma'am. ::heads of towards his quarters::

CEO_Solkar says:
CPO: Very well, I am returning to the ship. Please run a level 2 diagnostic on the affected systems.. I suspect there may be some relationship to the power outage on our return trip...  run a diagnostic on the distribution control system, as well.

CMO_Turok says:
@CO / XO: Well then, perhaps Commander Taylor would care to expand on his comment earlier about his honor.  I am curious to know his view on the subject.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::remembers something about a beach, clothes...:: FCO: Climbing would be great.  But first... ::picks up the small package::

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: I just wonder what you see in me.

Rhynne says:
::sees the TO approach:: TO: How may I serve you?

CIV_Adrel says:
@::follows the CTO for a while until she finds the closest TL::

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads back towards the ship::

FCO_Adams says:
::takes a sip of her Glenmoran::

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::Wonders if this is a true question or only a sarcastic one::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO: Commander, if you would like...

CMO_Turok says:
::Sits down so as to be less imposing::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Oh.

FCO_Adams says:
::eyes widen:: CSO: Oh what's this? I love presents.. ::smiles broadly::

TO_Sachs says:
Rhynne: Not sure. ::Looks over to Edward:: surprise me. EO: What would you like?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Waits for the XO to answer::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@::gets a drink, feeling he will need one now::

XO_Taylor says:
@CMO: My view of honor is different than yours, I think we can both agree on that.

Rhynne says:
::looks over at the EO, thinks: I know! A Warp Core Breach - for two::

CEO_Solkar says:
@::back aboard the ship, headed for ME::

EO_On says:
TO: What about some Romulan ale? ::starts to laugh about the joke of the bartender::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Since we are engaged, we should do it right, don't you think?  ::opens the package and shows her the ring, with a small diamond on it::

CTO_Krag says:
@::after a short trip he arrives at his quarters...sets down his bag…  then logs into the computer system and sends a message to the CO and XO informing them that he arrived::

CMO_Turok says:
@XO: So I have come to understand.  ::Speaking reasonably::  However, the Captain has asked us to understand one another.  I cannot do that if you will not explain to me your views.

XO_Taylor says:
@CMO: the word honor, for starters is less important to me than you. But it still is important for your honor shows who you are, what kind of person you are. Not physically, as I am far to be as strong as you, but in mind and in spiritual strength.

Rhynne says:
EO: Romulan Ale? I believe that is illegal in the federation... however if you are looking for something with a kick - perhaps you two would like to share a warp core breach?

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at her some more as the crowds begin to give them mean looks::

CEO_Solkar says:
@::enters ME::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@::sips his whiskey::

CIV_Adrel says:
@::exits the TL and heads for SCI 1 to start the sensors check up::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks down and gasps: CSO: You call that rock small? It's beautiful.

CEO_Solkar says:
@::going over the diagnostics and the schematics with the duty CPO, trying to locate the source of the problem::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: You don't want me to answer that do you?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Nods::  XO: But you spoke of my insulting your personal honor.  Please explain this to me.  I wish to know why you felt this way.

TO_Sachs says:
EO/Rhynne: Sounds good to me.

EO_On says:
TO: I know is illegal. It was a joke. Let's try that warp core breach that the bartender is offering to us.

CTO_Hunter says:
::sighs:: Shania: I guess not, and I guess we better start moving again.

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Ok.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::picks it up and slowly puts it on her finger:: FCO: I hope you like it, dear.

CIV_Adrel says:
@::sends a note to the CO notifying him she greeted the new CTO and that he is settling in his quarters::

Rhynne says:
::smiles widely:: EO/TO: I will be right back - this is a specialty of the house... don't go away.

XO_Taylor says:
@ CMO: By attacking me, you have tried to rob me of my honor, or respect if you will. Out of spite and of an emotional burst, I have said things which I did not think.  Know that I have always (and still do) have a great amount of respect for you, but your defiance of my authority as XO in some way threatened my coworker's respect for me.

CIV_Adrel says:
@::drinks the rest of the now cold coffee while waiting for the diagnostics of the sensors::

CEO_Solkar says:
@::runs some cross-checks on the Starfleet engineering database to see what it has to say in regard to the problem::

CTO_Krag says:
@::exits his quarters and makes his way to the armory::

FCO_Adams says:
::holds her hand steady as he slips the ring on then suddenly hugs him tight:: CSO: I love it and I love you so much.

TO_Sachs says:
::Smiles and leans back in her chair:: EO: have you been in star fleet long?

Rhynne says:
::runs to the back of the bar and mixes several types of hard liquors, blends it with ice, colors it blue and brings it back in a very large glass with two large straws::

CEO_Solkar says:
@<Aloud>: Fascinating...

XO_Taylor says:
@CMO: By asking me for an apology in front of everyone would have been as if I was the only one who was wrong.

CEO_Solkar says:
@<CPO>CEO: What, sir?

CTO_Hunter says:
::guides them towards a near by coffee shop::

TO_Sachs says:
::Sees the drink as Rhynne brings it out:: Wow...

XO_Taylor says:
@ CMO: I did not refuse your offer to apologize, but the way it was brought up.

EO_On says:
TO: I have been in Star Fleet for about three years and say "cheers".

OPS_Shania says:
::walks next to Kert::

Rhynne says:
EO/TO: Here you go.... One Warp Core Breach for two... don't drink it too fast....

CTO_Krag says:
@::is inspecting the Armory when MCPO Hardnose walks up to him::

FCO_Adams says:
::motions to Rhynne::

Rhynne says:
EO/TO: It will give you a powerful headache.

CEO_Solkar says:
@CPO: I note that, according to the available records, a large number of ships throughout the quadrant experienced the same power loss that we did, at approximately the same time. Logic would suggest some sort of relationship.

CTO_Hunter says:
::pulls out a chair for Shania sit on::

CEO_Solkar says:
@<CPO>CEO: Relationship?

Rhynne says:
::sees the FCO motion to her:: FCO: Can I help you?

OPS_Shania says:
::sits down:: Kert: Thank you ::smiles::

CMO_Turok says:
@XO: I see.  So you feel that what I did was an insult to you, and lessened your standing in the eyes of your peers.  You feel that they lost respect for you because your honor was questioned.  Is this true?

XO_Taylor says:
@CMO: Being both Betazoid and human, my emotions are volatile when put on the spot. It is one of my weaknesses and I usually must try to think things through before answering. You know how that turned out last time. ::smiles slightly::

TO_Sachs says:
::Takes a sip of the drink, and swallows hard:: EO: That is wicked...but good.

EO_On says:
::takes a sip also:: TO: Yes, this is serious stuff.

CTO_Hunter says:
::sits down next to her::

FCO_Adams says:
Rhynne: Look what this wonderful man just gave me. ::holds out her hand::

Rhynne says:
::smiles and admires it:: FCO: Oooo.... very nice.... you gonna marry this guy? ::winks, joking::

XO_Taylor says:
@ CMO; It's very close to the truth. By questioning my commanding skills, you have questioned me, as a person, which could be seen as an attack to my honor, knowing that our definitions of honor are different... of course.

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: What kind of coffee do you want?

CEO_Solkar says:
@CPO: Yes, the events are likely related... I calculate a probability of 99.87%....  either there is a common engineering flaw in the systems or a common phenomenon acting in causation.

FCO_Adams says:
Rhynne: Well he did say yes, so I'm not letting him off the hook now. ::laughs::

CTO_Krag says:
@::Finish his inspection of the armory and heads for the torpedo launch rooms with Hardnose in tow::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Caramel Cappuccino I think.

TO_Sachs says:
::Coughs slightly:: EO: What made you go Starfleet...and thank you for the flowers, they were nice.

Rhynne says:
::eyes widen with the implication:: FCO: Ooooh most definitely! ::smiles:: Congratulations!

CIV_Adrel says:
@::makes a few adjustments and sees one of their new Science Officers, Ensign Finch, enter::

CTO_Hunter says:
::orders a Caramel Cappuccino and a coffee black with six sugars::

FCO_Adams says:
Rhynne: Thanks.  Bring us something....special, we're celebrating.

OPS_Shania says:
::leans over and gives Kert a kiss::

CTO_Hunter says:
::returns the kiss::

CTO_Krag says:
@::finish that part of the inspection and heads for the S3C::

CEO_Solkar says:
@CPO: Please run a full scan on the entire power distribution system and associated control systems. I want full tricorder scans, across the band, material analysis and programming analysis. Put the duty team on it and have the oncoming team briefed so that they can take over after return from liberty.

CEO_Solkar says:
@<CPO>CEO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: What will happen here gentlemen, is a clash of cultures.  It will take time and patience to learn a bit of each other.  All I expect is to respect each of those cultures from here on...

Rhynne says:
CSO/FCO: Champagne?

CEO_Solkar says:
@CPO: I will be in my quarters running some tests and simulations, please download the scans and data as they come in to my console there.

CIV_Adrel says:
@<Finch>CIV: Hi ma'am... I know I shouldn't be here, but I was told to give you this.

CEO_Solkar says:
@<CPO>CEO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Adams says:
Rhynne: Perfect, if that's ok with you Mackie?

EO_On says:
TO: I thought it was a very good touch, the flowers. Responding to your question, I guess I wanted to experience a Star Fleet officer life. I want to know more about space.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO, CMO: I think you both know what you need to do from here on, correct?

CTO_Hunter says:
::see there order arrive and pays for it...handing Shania her drink::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at Cassie then at Rhynne:: Rhynne: Great! ::smiles::

CMO_Turok says:
@XO: I believe I understand.  And yet, you did the same to me....::lets that hang there a moment::  Perhaps your definition of honor and mine are not as different as you might think.  I have had to study humans and Betazoids in order to live among you.  I suggest you do the same for the Klingon culture.  It will prevent such...

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Thanks. ::takes her coffee::

CMO_Turok says:
@XO: Misunderstandings in the future.

Rhynne says:
::goes and gets a nice bottle of bubbly::

CIV_Adrel says:
@Finch: Something for me... the results of the inventory in the labs?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::softly kisses the FCO::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: I would like to put this behind us and begin anew.  A toast to that beginning...

CEO_Solkar says:
@::heads to his quarters::

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks over and sees the FCO and CSO, and smiles:: Self: They look happy,

Host CO_OMallory says:
@::gets glasses of whiskey for both::

Rhynne says:
::brings back some nice glasses and an ice bucket::

FCO_Adams says:
::closes her eyes and sighs as she's kissed::

CTO_Krag says:
@::finish that inspection and heads for the brig::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Accepts the glass::

Rhynne says:
FCO/CSO: Do you want me to pop this for you? :: shows the bottle of champagne::

EO_On says:
TO: Hey, why don't we congratulate FCO Adams and CSO MacLeod. I hear that they are getting married.

TO_Sachs says:
::Takes another sip of her drink and shakes her head:: EO: Maybe later, they look busy at the moment...they look happy.

XO_Taylor says:
@CO / CMO: If it can help satisfy you honor, I am ready to step on mine, I am at fault and I know it. If to do it publicly can help you, than I owe you just that. Providing that you do the same, of course.

FCO_Adams says:
:;hears the tinkle of the glasses::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: To a new beginning. ::holds up glass and drinks::

CIV_Adrel says:
@<Finch>CIV: Yes ma'am. Only minor repairs need to be done, and I know most of the staff is already taking care of those.

CEO_Solkar says:
@::arrives in his quarters and starts analyzing the data::

CTO_Hunter says:
::drinks some of his coffee::

FCO_Adams says:
Rhynne: Please do.

CMO_Turok says:
@XO: That is our arrangement.   ::Joins in the toast::

XO_Taylor says:
@::Holds up his glass as well::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::nods to Rhynne::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Good progress tonight, it seems.  Ready to eat now?

CIV_Adrel says:
@<Finch>::hands the CIV a PADD and waits::

Rhynne says:
::pops the cork, champagne fizzes all over, pours into glasses::

FCO_Adams says:
::stares into Mackie's eyes::

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Do you like your coffee?

XO_Taylor says:
@CO: Sure. ::smiles::

EO_On says:
TO: Okay, maybe later. You must be right. So, tell me why you join Star Fleet?

CMO_Turok says:
@CO: Yes.  Let us eat.

CIV_Adrel says:
@::checks the info on the PADD::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Yeah, it's good. And not as sweet as your sugar water.

CTO_Krag says:
@::finishes inspection tour...dismisses the MCPO and heads for the bridge::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Right his way ::shows them to the dinner table::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices Cassie staring at him:: FCO: What? ::smiles and rubs her cheek::

CIV_Adrel says:
@Finch: I will make sure Lieutenant MacLeod sees this when he returns. Anything else, Ensign?

XO_Taylor says:
@::gets up and follows the Captain::

TO_Sachs says:
EO: I wouldn't say I joined, more like my father made me...::Bows her head:: I wasn't a very good kid, so...

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I just like to look at you love.

CIV_Adrel says:
@<Finch>CIV: No Commander. Anything else that needed to be done was taken care of.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO,CMO: Dinner is sautéed shrimp with rice pilaf and a glass of blood wine for our Klingon guest.

EO_On says:
TO: You think that your father did it for the best. How do you fell about that?

CIV_Adrel says:
@Finch: You can go back to the labs now. Keep me updated on those minor repairs.

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at her:: I’ll have you know this is an old Human drink.

FCO_Adams says:
::doesn't even notice the mess Rhynne made::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@::begins serving dinner::

CEO_Solkar says:
@::makes some notes for a report to the CO....  the event appears to be unusual and was rather widespread::

XO_Taylor says:
@CO / CMO: I think that this dinner is a great image of our discussion: a symbiosis of the Human and Klingon cultures.

CIV_Adrel says:
@<Finch>CIV: Aye. ::leaves the bridge::

Rhynne says:
::wiping up the champagne quickly::

OPS_Shania says:
::grins:: Kert: Yes, I know.

TO_Sachs says:
EO: He only cared about himself...he didn't want me to make him look bad...so I’m not sure.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::picks up the glasses and hands one to Cassie, then looks at Rhynne:: Rhynne: Thanks. ::nods to her and looks back at the FCO::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Looks at the dinner and wonders again why humans insist on serving side dishes and accompaniments.  Thinks about all the shrimp that could be put on the plate if there was no rice there.::

CTO_Krag says:
@::Arrives on the bridge::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Anyways, you think you gonna like it here?

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: I think we're going to have a wonderful life, together...

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Thank you Mackie, shall we make a toast?

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I know we will be happy.

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Yes I do, of course it would be better if you got assigned her as well.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@Serves dinner and whispers:: CMO: I like rice ::smiles::

EO_On says:
TO: Hey, I was also a trouble kid myself. ::continues drinking his beverage::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Nods at the XO::  XO: Yes, it is.  ::Thinks "The food is soft and bland, while the wine is strong and potent.  A fine analogy indeed, though he doubts that Taylor meant it that way.  "Oh well, when on Earth..."::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: You know I like the ship and my job. I don't wanna give it up.

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks up and smiles:: EO: Anyone ever tell you, you have a handsome smile....

FCO_Adams says:
::raises her glass::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: We will.  I love you. ::raises the glass::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: I love you my darling.

EO_On says:
::smiles:: TO: You are the first.

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks down:: Shania: I know, forget I asked, I was wrong to.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: To us. ::sips, looking right into her deep blue eyes::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: To love....::sips::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: No, it's ok. Maybe later...

CIV_Adrel says:
@::checks the PADD and then goes back to her sensors::

CMO_Turok says:
@::eats the dinner, noting that the Bloodwine isn't bad for being replicated.::

Rhynne says:
::cleaning and wiping the bar, generally::

TO_Sachs says:
::Blushes:: EO: well you do, I think we need another drink. ::Looks down at the empty glass::

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: Maybe. ::hangs head a bit::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@::sips bloodwine::  CMO Not bad...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::places the glass back on the table::

CTO_Krag says:
@::wonders when his three barrels of Bloodwine will arrive::

OPS_Shania says:
::sighs and sips her coffee::

CMO_Turok says:
@CO: I will make a point of bringing aboard a few barrels of proper blood wine.  You will see the difference.

Rhynne says:
::goes back over to the TO and EO:: TO/EO: I see your glass is empty. Want something else?

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::eats:: CMO: Personally, I have never been a great fan of the Human cuisine, my mother always made Betazoid cuisine. Compared to it, human food tastes a bit... bland...

FCO_Adams says:
::puts down her glass:: CSO: Shall we get out of here? I'd like to be alone with you away from prying eyes, if you get my meaning? ::giggles::

EO_On says:
TO: Oh, yes. We better order another drink. ::as he finished his beverage::

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at Shania:: Shania: I am sorry.

TO_Sachs says:
Rhynne: Sure, another one of those will do just fine..

Rhynne says:
::eyes widen:: TO/EO: If you're sure.... ::pauses::

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: It's not your fault.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: I was about to propose you the same thing.  ::stands and helps her to do the same::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Glances up to see how O'Mallory will take the insult.::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@CMO: See to it...and I will stock up on my Irish whiskey, for you to expand your delicacy

XO_Taylor says:
@CMO: Especially rice.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: I think that mountain climbing can be postponed don't you think? ::smiles::

XO_Taylor says:
@CO / CMO: But I like the shrimp's texture...

FCO_Adams says:
::stands and takes Mackie's arm:: CSO: Lead on sir. I'd follow you anywhere. ::smiles sweetly::

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO: Next time, we can combine the cultures and come up with a dish all will taste for the first time. ::smiles::

EO_On says:
::shows two fingers:: Rhynne: Two more, please.

CTO_Krag says:
@::Begins making changes to the tactical department...the first of which is to assign guards at all entrances and exits points of the ship...going as far as to recall personal on shore leave to man those posts::

EO_On says:
TO: Did I tell you that you are a cute lady?

Rhynne says:
EO: Alright.... but make sure you make it back to your ship safely - these will put you out.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO, CMO: Good, or bad...we may need much of that blood wine if we do. ::laughs a bit::

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks over to Edward:: EO: This has been fun...

XO_Taylor says:
@ ::smiles:: CO: Don’t take me wrong, the food is very good, but who doesn't enjoy their mother's recipe better...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::giggles and begins walking toward the exit:: FCO: Hhhmmm... do you want anything else from here?

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO: Actually...this is my mother's recipe.

TO_Sachs says:
::Blushes and bows her head again:: EO: No...::Giggles some:: thanks..

EO_On says:
TO: Oh, yes. We had a lot of fun.

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at Shania::

XO_Taylor says:
@CO: Than, I understand why it is good. But probably not as good as from your perspective.

Host CO_OMallory says:
@XO: But she wasn't much of a cook and I usually improvise...

OPS_Shania says:
::gets and holds out her hand:: Kert: Come on, let's go. It's too crowded in here.

Rhynne says:
::goes back to the bar and makes another warp core breach, wondering if she should make sure security takes care of those two after the alcohol is done wreaking havoc on their brains::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Wonders if, perhaps, the CO actually wants him to kill the XO and Turok just isn't getting the hint.::

FCO_Adams says:
::leaves with Mackie:: CSO: I have plans for you Mr. MacLeod. ::grins:: No thanks, let's go.

CTO_Hunter says:
::takes hear hand:: Shania: Where to?

OPS_Shania says:
Kert: Your quarters.

TO_Sachs says:
::Puts her hand on Edwards:: EO: We have to do this again...and soon

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Let's go, let's go! ::walks faster::

Rhynne says:
::finishes making the drink and brings it to them:: TO/EO: Ok... here you go. ::hands them another warp core breach for two::

FCO_Adams says:
::almost runs to keep up:: CSO: Oh anxious are we?

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Oh, yeah... you can't imagine how much... ::smiles::

CTO_Hunter says:
Shania: My quarters? Ok.

TO_Sachs says:
Rhynne: Thanks. ::Smiles to the bartender::

EO_On says:
TO: I love they way you giggle.  ::holds the hand of the TO, too:: We should do this again.

Host Tim says:
