FCO_Shania says:
::on the bridge, tying up some lose ends after docking::

ACTION: An operational personnel officer chimes the CTO's door.

CTO_Lt_Augustus says:

Host Yoeman_Tom says:
:: Enters::  CTO: Did you need help with anything?
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Docking procedures finished, ship secured, the crew is now free to move about the Starbase if they wish to do so.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
XO: Thanks. So when's my R&R? Hmm I can't wait to show Caleb the starbase. I don't think he's actually ever really seen one.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
FCO: Thank you.  Let the crew know and that they are do back by 2400 hours for departure preparations.
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
Yeoman: Not currently, shortly though I think, I have yet to hear from Starfleet Command.
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Aye aye ::initiates shipwide comm and sends message to everyone::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
XO: I guess that answers my question..
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan prepares to disembark the Luna and meet with officials from both SFI and SFC::
Host Yoeman_Tom says:
:: Nods:: CTO: As soon as you need me, let me know.  :: smiles and heads back out.::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
Yeoman: Some advice for you, "Stand tall before your enemies, always  show courage. Always tell the truth though it may get you killed.  Always serve with pride, and protect the less fortunate and weak." If you do that you'll be fine. ::smiles at the young man::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:

CSO_Jarek says:
:: Notices something in the analysis of the condensation samples from the asteroid taken on the last mission::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Looks over at the CSO to see him very much involved in work and not her question. Shakes her head::  CSO: Time to shut down.  It will still be here in a couple of hours.
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
*Bridge*: This is Augustus, request permission to depart via transporter to these coordinates::touches a PADD sending coordinates to the bridge that is not on station about 5 miles distance:: please::he spits on the floor as to clean his mouth::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Thinks a little too loudly:: fascinating
FCO_Shania says:
::shuts down helm and gets up::
CSO_Jarek says:

XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Receiving the request::  CTO: There should be no problem with that.  Ummm... good luck.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Nods::  CSO: Alright...
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:

CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Do you have a moment
FCO_Shania says:
::heads for her quarters::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*TC*: I am sending you coordinates to beam the CTO too.  :: Looking at the coordinates as she forwards them on.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:

CSO_Jarek says:
XO: It is regenerating......Sir
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
CSO: What is?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::while walking out of his quarters, Ewan has his PADD out and writing down a little memo to be sent to his SFI contacts on board the station::

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::he finally finds a computer terminal in the hallway and connects his PADD to it and sends his communique::
FCO_Shania says:
::undresses and takes a shower::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:

CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Commander,, I believe it is time for a bit of relaxation and conversation...Would you honor me in a drink on the station....My treat as it were

ACTION: The FCO's skin turns a bright orange.

CSO_Jarek says:
XO: I am finished here...It can wait....:: Closes down Science one::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
@::Stands up from the table with the Admirals and walks from the door - a recess to review the evidence so far and discuss it later::  *XO*: Commander?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Nods:: XO: Though I am curious.  It is as if you are giving me bits and peices of a puzzle...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::He waits a few minutes and receives a reply that reads: We knew that Capt. Savar wouldn't give it up, so we have now initiated plan Beta::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*CO*: Aye sir?

::feels a rather uncomfortable sensation on her skin and turns off the shower::
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: I shall explain over a drink ....if you wish
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
CSO: Sure... :: waits for the captains response::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
*XO*: Ah.  I was curious if the Luna had disembarked yet.  My meetings have been granted a recess.  Since it is near evening meal time, can you see if the senior staff would appreciate joining me on the station for evening meal?
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Points to the TL and says::: XO: After you Commander
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*CO*: Aye sir...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Upon reading the response, he knew that SFI's ways of getting the orb might not be so pleasant::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*CO*: Ummm... where?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
Cmd Coleman: You have the bridge.
FCO_Shania says:
::looks at her skin and touches it carefully:: Self: Well, that's not good. ::gets dressed and leaves her quarters on the way to Sickbay::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Moves to follow Jarek:: CSO: It appears we are to be treated by the captain.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
*XO*: The Risan eatery on the main deck would provide sufficient variety to satisfy everyone, I believe.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*CO*: Aye sir...
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Commander!
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*Command Staff*: The captain has invited us to an evening meal on base at the Risan eatery.  It is located on the main deck.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Blinks:: CSO: Yes?
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Indeed....I would assume so much for our conversation
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
CSO: Shall we?
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: Nothing sir...I was hoping for.....:: Trails off::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Enters the TL::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Smiles:: CPS: Computer, docking.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
CSO: What were you hoping for?
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: It is not important, sir
FCO_Shania says:
::enters Sickbay and looks around::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* would it be acceptable if my son joined us. We're on the station now and I don't have arrangements for him.
Host MO_Sole says:
FCO: Can I help you?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
*CMO*: I think it would be fine.  I do not believe I have met your son.
FCO_Shania says:
MO: Yeah, I think I showered too hot.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Exiting through the docking ring, she checks off with the duty officer.::  CSO: Do you know where this place is?
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
::Arrives at the eatery and obtains a table::
Host MO_Sole says:
:: Motions her over to the bed:: FCO: You do appear to be an odd shade for your species.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* Very well. Thank you. McDonald out.
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: No sir I do not !
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
Caleb: Its time to go for dinner. Daddy has to meet his colleagues for a meeting, but you can come along.
FCO_Shania says:
::eyes the MO:: MO: Yeah, and orange is so not my color. ::sits down on the biobed::
Caleb says:
CMO: YAY! Thanks Daddy! :: hops up from his play place and bolts to Lennier's side ::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
CSO: Hmmm... well, he said the main deck, that should not be too hard to find.  :: Moves toward a locater screen in search of their destination.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::upon hearing the invite, Ewan disconnects his PADD and proceeds to the airlock to meet with SFI Admirals before meeting with the Captain::
Host MO_Sole says:
:: Runs a general scan::  FCO: You appear normal...
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Follows the XO hands folded behind his back::
FCO_Shania says:
MO: That's a plus, I guess.
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Takes a real close look at the XO::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Pauses and searches for a Risan restaurant and points.::  CSO: There we are... and not to far away either.
Host MO_Sole says:
:: Takes a skin sample and does a scan::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: walks into the eatery with his son in tow :: Sees the captain and waves ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan enters a room and meets with the SFI officials and reports that orb is probably now in the hands of SFC::
Host MO_Sole says:
FCO: I believe, your skin has been dyed. I will turn it over to science to discover with what.  I will also inform the captain of the situation.
FCO_Shania says:
MO: Dyed? ::looks confused:: Well, fix it!
Host MO_Sole says:
FCO: I am afraid at the moment I cannot.  Not until we discover what caused the umm... discoloration.  However, you should be able to go about your R&R.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: A short distance away, she stops before the restaurant and looks at Jarek::
FCO_Shania says:
MO: Go about my R&R? Excuse me, I'm orange...
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: Walks over to the CO and nods :: CO: Sir..
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan told the Admirals that Weatherby may have the orb in tow::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Looks very close at the XO::
Host MO_Sole says:
FCO: True... but it is not that bad... adds some interesting color tones to your hair.
CSO_Jarek says:
XO: After you.........Sir
FCO_Shania says:
MO: And anyways, how can I turn orange from a sonic shower?
Caleb says:
:: whispers:: CMO: Daddy, why is that mans skin a different color and why are his ears so weird?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:. Nodding, enters the room, quickly locating her captain and the doctor.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::They confirm to Ewan that Plan Beta has been initiated, not knowing what the plan may involve, he knew that the orb would find its way to SFI and its scientists::
Host MO_Sole says:
:: shrugs:: FCO: I am sorry ma'am. I can only state the facts.  I will have science and engineering getting onto it.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: Looks down :: Caleb: I will explain later
FCO_Shania says:
::sighs:: MO: Oh well, is there anything more you can do for me or can I leave?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::The SFI Admirals and other officials part ways with Ewan and he then makes his way to the Risan eatery a couple of corridors down from where his meeting took place::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Nods to the CMO and then looks down at the child ::  Caleb: It is good to ask questions...
Host MO_Sole says:
FCO: You may leave.  I will keep an eye on things.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Takes a seat, her eyes going to the doctor and his son.  She smiles.::
Caleb says:
:: Looks to the strange man :: CMO: Can you explain?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks into the eatery and begins to survey the room for everyone::
FCO_Shania says:
::gets up and heads for the door:: MO: Let me know when you found something. I'll be in my quarters.
Host MO_Sole says:
FCO: Yes ma'am.
FCO_Shania says:
::calls over her shoulder:: MO: And don't call me Ma'am!
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
Caleb: I am a race known as a Vulcan, from a planet of the same name not far from here.  I am different from you, and different from your parents in that way.
Host MO_Sole says:
:: Looks surprised::  FCO: Yes ma.... :: closes her lips.::
Caleb says:
CO: OOOH. okay.. :: hops up on a chair :: CMO: Daddy When's dinner?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
Caleb: When everyone gets here. Be patient.
FCO_Shania says:
::heads back to her quarters, mumbling away::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Excepts a menu and orders a salad.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan sees the group and slinks his way to the table:: ALL: Sorry I'm late ::he pulls out a chair and sits::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
CIV: Hello captain...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles:: XO: Commander
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: turns and nods to the XO :: XO: Commander.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan smiles and nods at the CO::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Looks around the table::  Hmmm... I guess the others could not come...
FCO_Shania says:
::enters her quarters and lays down on the couch::
CSO_Jarek says:
:: Sits next to the XO::

ACTION: On the FCO's screen, a waiting message flashes...

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks around:: ALL: Where is the FCO and CTO?
FCO_Shania says:
::sits up and brings the message on screen::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Looks to the captain to answer that.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
CIV: The Chief Tactical Officer has requested reassignment.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks surprised:: CO: Really? did he say why?

INFO: This is only the beginning....

FCO_Shania says:
Self: What's the...? Computer: Origin of this message?
FCO_Shania says:
::catches Teebo starring at her:: Teebo: Yes, I'm orange. Now scam!
Host Computer says:
