OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::smiles an thin smile this time:: MO: Thank you, sir :: duh...::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
*XO*: Where would that be Commander?
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
CO/XO: Captain ..Commander if you will excuse me... I have an experiment running on the ship that I would like to cheek in  on....:: Moves his chair out and moves towards the door::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:

:: Looks at her captain with a brow lifted.::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
::J'tan takes up his position away from the hatch but within easy distance to assist if need be, he says nothing::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CSO: Commander Jarek... surely it can be attended by one of your junior officers.  Join us... we have a lot to catch up on now that you've returned to the ship
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
*XO*: Aye Commander will be there shortly, rest assured you will see me arriving. Augustus out
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::seats again::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:

OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
:: As everybody stands, he stands too::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Lieutenant?
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
CSO: Commander, panic has a tendency of getting people hurt, please sit down, one does not need be a telepath to see panic and concerned
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Lifts a brow wondering why he is glaring at her.::
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
CTO: Vulcans do not panic
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
Lt Commander Lynch: Sir, thank you but why the welcome back, I only went to claim what is mine
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
All: Yes... please be seated.  :: Motions to an empty seat for the CTO::
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
CTO: However we do see concern and note it
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::Panic? Huh Huh, that doesn't sound good::
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
CTO: Understood Lieutenant !
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
CSO: Commander, they do, they just cover it.
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
CTO: I however do not panic,nor do I cover it !
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
CSO: Commander, please take a seat... :: Motions for everyone to do so.::

:: Loks at the OPS and almost smiles::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: waves a waiter over::  CTO: Since you missed placing your order, perhaps they can push your food through to come out with the rest of ours...
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
OPS: Lt Augustus at your service Ensign, relax and sit down please::smiling at the Ensign:: Being on the lower end of the rank structure can be frustrating can it not?
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::notes the CSO looking, but doesn't understand the look he gets::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::looking around at the Klingons::  CTO: Perhaps your friends would like something to eat too?
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: Wonders why the Captain is being so......well....Does not have words::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CTO: Yes, sir, it does, but on the other hand it doesn't carry the responsibility of higher ranks!
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
MO: That would be acceptable but they are on duty, you see.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
OPS: You were about to tell us something about yourself, as we have not yet had a chance to review your records.  Have you recently graduated or are you a transfer?
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
OPS: Call me Augustus, that is my name and you are not on duty, do not so formal Ensign
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the CTO::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CTO: that was not the way I was taught at the academy, sir! XO: this is my fist posting, sir, I just graduated from academy
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::turning back to the OPS Officer::  OPS: And was Operations your primary course of study?
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
CO: Thank you but replicated gagh is horrible, and we ate prior to leaving the Volketh
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Hides a smile of remembrance. was it only a few years ago?::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
MO: Yes, sir, my first choice! Never had any doubts about it!

OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
MO: I hope so, sir!
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
::Nods slowly::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Looking up:: All: Ahhh... here comes our meal.
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
OPS: Nanadial, well Ensign if you keep that ram rod straight you'll end up like me, and trust me ::looks around at the crew in attendance:: you do not want that Nanadial.  Do yo have a nickname or something, I do not want to call you Ensign forever you know? ;:chuckles::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::looking toward the door where the waiters are arriving::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Quietly:: CO: Bridge command says the ship will be ready in half an hour.  What do you want me to do?
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::doesn't have a clue of what the CTO is talking about:: CTO: My friends at the academy used to call me mousse, sir
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: I believe you have orders, Commander.  Or is that not what you refer to?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
OPS: Mousse?  Really?  Why?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
CO: I was just checking, given you are here now.  ::Frowns, troubled about leaving him behind.  Lowers her voice for his ears alone::  Are you sure I should not remain?
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
XO: Excuse me Commander, I need to know what else I need to do to get my guards aboard,::hands a PADD to her; the PADD contains the three's records from IKS and notes that they all served aboard the IKS QIb::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
MMO: Just a pun with my last name, sir, and some added chocolate mouse, for obvious reasons!
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
OPS: Thank you Mousse, can I call you that?
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CTO: Of course sir! ::huh?::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::chuckles::  OPS: I think we're all going to like having you among us Nanadial.  Welcome.  ::holds up his coffee in toast form and then drinks::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Takes the PADD in confusion::  CTO: Bring them aboard?  Have they been assigned?
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: Pushes his meal away::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
MO: Thank you, sir! I must admit that isn't what I was led to expect
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::wonders what is wrong with the CSO today::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
XO: Well sort ot speak, now tha I am back, the IKS Volketh has been assigned as my personal vessel, the ship and her crew are my command, only seconded to Starfleet rest assured.  These three are my personal guard.
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the CO and hopes he hears:: ~~~ I told you there was a problem ~~~
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::leans in close to the CSO::  CSO: Are you feeling alright Commander?
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: Leans close to the MO:: Never better
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the MO::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::Looks at his plate, but doesn't know if he eats before the other or not, stomach rumbles::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to whisper::  CSO: You don't quite seem yourself if you don't mind my saying so sir.  You sure you do not want to come with me to Sickbay for a check-up?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: glances at Mussambe:: OPS: Eat...
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
:: Looks gladly at the XO:: XO: thank you, sir! :: Starts eating with gusto::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
OPS: Mousse, eat kid for the sakes of sanity eat you look like a broom handle
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
CTO: It is not normal for anyone beyonds a diplomat or sometimes a captain, to have their own personal vessel.  In all honesty, I am not sure of the procedure outside of battle.
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
MO: Doctor..I am half Betazoid....I have had a sense of danger...And we are apparently in the middle of it now..Open your eyes...I do not need your assistance...!
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CTO: I'll do my best sir! and I'm good at eating!
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
XO: The vessel will be kept here at the starbase, and be at my call if I should need it.  I do not foresee that occurring do you?
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::while looking at his plate he could half of ignore what was going on, because he really couldn't understand::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
OPS: Good then eat Mousse eat up, replicated food can really get you
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
MO: We have a CTO, Who was leaving this ship...angry..Now re-appears with a bird of prey along side our ship ...accompanied by GUARDS...Does that not alarm you ?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
CTO: Ahhh... then I see no problem with that.  That is not within our jurisdiction.  As for the other two officers, this is still a Starfleet vessel.  They will have to go through command (translation Peter) to be assigned aboard.
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
::Has listened to the MO & CSO's conversation::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::Stops for a moment:: CTO: I'd rather not have it replicated, sir, but my mom is in Lagos now, real far from here!
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
MO: Hey Doc relax they are here for your safety::smiling at the CSO:: from me!  ::slaps the table and laughs aloud, the Klingons join him::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
CTO: If you will give me their paperwork, I will send it up the chain.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Jumps at the laughter and then smiles as she somehow missed the joke.::
CTO_Lt_Augustus says:
XO: There is two here I felt a concern for the safety of the ship and left J'tan at the docking hatch with the duty officer, he makes these two look small.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan finishes his dinner::
CSO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
:: does not smile nor does he laugh::
