Episode 187 “Tops and Tails, Part 2”:  The USS Luna is docked at SB 917 playing host to the diplomatic party from Stilgar 3.  Why the Luna and her crew and not the Starbase have been chosen to hold this particular event has not yet been revealed, although I suspect it will be given enough time.

XO_Singh says:
:: Standing beside the captain, listening as he greets the representatives::
CO_Savar says:
Amb: Ambassador, would you like to enjoy our hospitality?  I look forward to speaking to you.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
CO: And I hope to have a pleasure of a tour of your vessel.  I hear it is a "marvel of Starfleet engineering".
CO_Savar says:
Amb: I find it to be agreeable surroundings, a welcome change from the other, more combat-oriented vessels.  The Nebula class is the pinnacle of what Starfleet stands for - science and exploration.
FCO_Shania says:
::looks around her still chaotic quarters, but gets ready to leave anyways:: Teebo: You behave yourself ‘til I get back, no shoe chewing or anything.
FCO_Shania says:
::steps out, locks the door and heads off to find a TL::
Host Amb_Lenore says:
CO: It is a shame perhaps that the Federation has needed so many of those combat vessels in the past few years?  Still, we could be on the verge of a new age as your people say.
CO_Savar says:
::Nods slowly::  Amb: In such a large galaxy and universe, it is unsettling that galactic powers are not satisfied with the vast spaces they already control.  It is a credit to our resilience that we have been able to defend ourselves.
FCO_Shania says:
::walks around, a little lost and unnerved by the stiff dress uniform::
XO_Singh says:
:: curious to the terminology the ambassador used.::
FCO_Shania says:
::finally finds a TL and enters:: TL ::scratches head::...Uhm, where do I need to go anyways?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks into the room wearing his normal SFI uniform after being debriefed by his SFI superiors::
XO_Singh says:
:: Notices captain MacPherson's arrival and gives him a brief nod of greeting.::
FCO_Shania says:
<Computer> Unable to comply. Please restate destination.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::chuckles inwardly:: CO: Or perhaps it is merely your good fortune? ::seems to brighten up under the robes:: Still, talk such as these should be saved for other times.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods back::
CO_Savar says:
Amb: Is there another topic of conversation you wish to pursue, Ambassador?  ::Glances briefly towards the Admiral::
XO_Singh says:
:: Glances around for the face of a new officer they were expecting, but command had been unclear of her arrival and she had not left orders to be contacted upon their arrival.  Then again, she was not first officer until a short while ago.::
Host Adm_Weatherby says:
::seems to simply pop-up next to the CIV:: CIV: I seem to recall there being a specific order about wearing full dress uniform to this event.
FCO_Shania says:
::rolls eyes:: TL: Ja, ja, I know that. Just get me to where that gathering with the party from Stilgar 3 is.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
Adm: With all do respect sir; you should be happy that I even came
Host Amb_Lenore says:
CO: I am simply glad to be here Captain, I can see we are both going to enjoy our time together.  Is this your...executive officer? ::motions towards the XO::
XO_Singh says:
:: Catching the last words, turns toward the ambassador with a smile.::

ACTION: The TL that contains the FCO chirps and makes its way to the relevant deck

CO_Savar says:
Amb: Actually, yes, just recently assigned to the position.  Commander Singh, as the Admiral introduced her earlier.
FCO_Shania says:
::feels the TL move and finally arrive on the relevant deck ::
Host Adm_Weatherby says:
::smiles:: CIV: Oh I am happy Captain.  See those people over there ::indicates the diplomatic party:: Would it interest you to know that they have not revealed their faces the whole time they have been on their tour of the sector?
FCO_Shania says:
::steps out and walks to where the music comes from::
FCO_Shania says:
::enters lounge and looks around, trying to make out the CO::
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::nods underneath her robe:: XO: Tell me Commander ::hesitates for just a moment:: Are you perhaps a little young to be second in command of a vessel such as this?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
Adm: I just got here and didn't really look
XO_Singh says:
Amb:  My people are not exactly known for their height.  I am fully grown.

ACTION: To the new FCO the lounge is buzzing with activity.  Starfleet officers fill most of the available space with a dozen heavily robed figures dotted amongst them engaged in what looks to be small talk.

FCO_Shania says:
::figures it's probably easier to find a needle in a hay stack but goes looking anyways::
Host Adm_Weatherby says:
CIV: Then I would suggest you do look, in fact you might even consider this an order.  Keep an eye on these people Captain, I want to know exactly what they do while they are with you, but be discreet, they are Ambassadors.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
Adm: What a coincidence, so do my superiors in SFI.
FCO_Shania says:
::asks some Lt. about the whereabouts of the CO and gets a roughly left direction for an answer so takes off that way::
Host Amb_Lenore says:
XO: Yes I can see that, but I wasn't referring to your physical size. ::looks around the room at her party::
FCO_Shania says:
::finally sees someone with enough pips and walks over::
XO_Singh says:
Amb:  Well... in some respects, one might consider that I am. :: Notes he is looking around the room.::   Is there something I can get you, something that interests you?
Host Adm_Weatherby says:
::smiles inwardly:: CIV: Yes I know, but lets just say they have slightly different motives than us.  I want a full report sent to me every 24 hours without fail.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
Adm: I will and I'll send them along to SFI as well
XO_Singh says:
:: Notices the new arrival and smiles.::  FCO:  Commander Shania?
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::returns her attention to the XO:: XO: No, thank you I am quite comfortable, although I would very much like to see this vessels bridge, unfortunately... ::watches the new person approach and falls silent::
CO_Savar says:
::Turns his attention momentarily::
FCO_Shania says:
::looks at the XO, slightly confused:: XO: Yep, that's me. Hello. I was actually looking for the Captain. ::turns to the Amb and smiles:: G'Day.
Host Adm_Weatherby says:
CIV: I have no doubt you will.  Oh just one more thing Captain, even though you may not be in the direct employ of SFC you will still follow the proper protocol when addressing a senior officer, good day to you ::gives the CIV a happy little smile and heads towards the buffet table where he is intercepted by an aide::
XO_Singh says:
FCO:  You have found him.  I am Commander Singh, the ships first officer.  We were told you were coming but they neglected to mention when you would arrive.  I was keeping half an ear out for you.  Welcome aboard.
XO_Singh says:
Amb:  Unfortunately?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::whispers to himself:: I should have a conversation with my father Adml. MacPherson about this Weatherby character also
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::from under the robes seems to stare at the FCO for a few seconds as if sizing her up for something before turning back to the XO:: XO: Yes, unfortunately our tour being as fast as it was we have not been able to see the heart of any of your vessels, I very much wanted to before we returned home...
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Thank you.
XO_Singh says:
:: Smiles at the FCO as she turns to look at her captain questioningly on the Ambassador’s request.::
FCO_Shania says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: Commander Shania reporting for duty, sir.
CO_Savar says:
FCO: Welcome aboard, Commander.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks up to the CSO and glances at her collar to see the new pip:: CSO: So, I hear from the crew that congratulations are in order. ::smiles sweetly::
XO_Singh says:
:: Eyes MacPherson and shakes her head with a smile then nods a greeting.  Quietly.::  CIV:  I know news does not travel that fast, especially as no one aboard had been told yet.
CO_Savar says:
Amb: Ambassador, I think a tour of our vessel might be able to be arranged.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I guess I go...uhm... mingle a bit.
XO_Singh says:
FCO: The food I hear is very good.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks innocent:: CSO: Really?
FCO_Shania says:
XO: I will try it then.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::turns to face the CO, which takes a moment as the robes settle down:: CO: Excellent, how about tomorrow morning, I would much prefer to tackle the tour refreshed!
XO_Singh says:
CIV:  Captain MacPherson, may I introduce you to our new chief flight officer.  Perhaps you would like to join her for something to eat.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan just notices the new Officer:: FCO: Hello, I'm Capt. MacPherson-Quest. And you are?
CO_Savar says:
Amb: That would be acceptable.  Gives us time to ensure that the areas are clean and spotless.
FCO_Shania says:
CIV: Shania, the new Flygirl.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Nice to meet you, I'm sure you'll do well.
FCO_Shania says:
CIV: Yeah well, as long as you don't mind the bumps and scratches.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: The CSO, I mean the XO said that you’re heading for something to eat. May I join you?
FCO_Shania says:
CIV: Yes, of course.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
CO: Excellent, I shall look forward to it.  In the meantime, if you will excuse me I believe your Admiral wanted to introduce me to a few people ::nods, turns and leaves::
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks at Savar curiously::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles:: FCO Great, shall we go?
FCO_Shania says:
CIV: Sure, I hope you know the way.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: I think I do. ::makes his way to the buffet table::
