CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
XO: I have. He did an exemplary job on this last mission. I would like to put him up for something. Just not sure what.

CEO: I'm not picky sir, if it's alcohol, count me in.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
MO: The fact both species have the ability to block our sensors... and given the attack of the one and how hard it was to destroy it without the ships phaser... ::Shrugs::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
OPS: Ah think Ah'm in love :: Chuckles:: have ya ever tried Scotch
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:

::chuckles:: CEO: Ensigns can't be picky, sir. Yes, I have, and many other not so noble things
Host XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Nods:: CMO: Then for now, I would say give him the support he needs and keep a general eye out for things.  Did he tell you why he was using the stims?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
MO: I have nothing planned.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
XO: Not overtly. I was going to try to talk to him on R&R and see what I can dig up.

OPS: aye 300 ....very smooth
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CEO: Wow, sir! It must be!

CEO: To the Luna, the best there is, and her crew, the best there is.
Host XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Contacts the station and discusses the updates and repairs requested along with a time frame.::
Host XO_Cmd_Singh says:
OOW: I agree... I would say things rarely occur on a station, but that would be tempting fate, never a wise thing to do.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
OPS: here, here,:: Drinks his whole glass::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CEO: Bottoms up, sir! ::down it goes::
SO_Lt_Silver says:

OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::decides to go slowly, and sips his one::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Better yes, but it doesn't have an affect on me like scotch does
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sighs thinking of the Sekloth Hatchling then shakes his head::  SO: No...  After two weeks of working with the Selay, the most probably place a Sekloth could blend it all-be-it not very well, my search turned up empty
