TAC_Mabis says:

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: Very well. All: When we have docked, lock down your stations. 72 hour stand down as per Starfleet orders.

OPSFowler says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Jakob, that doesn't mean we blow it like this. Do you realize how long it took me to..... appropriate that much latinum?

Host CO_Krust says:
FCO: Is that all? :: narrows eyes::

OPSFowler says:
::smiles and wonders who will tell the most interesting story; Andrew or Jakob?::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Rest assured, Captain, when we get back to Exile Cafe, I'll be going over the books.   ::smiles a little::

Host Tanya says:
@ ::arrives at the lounge, and moves to the small stage, taking a seat at the keyboard set up there; picks out a slow tune, listening to how the single notes fill the room::

Vanessa says:
% :: goes over her list one more time... blood wine... Ale from Earth's Germany... pictures of Tianna... the case... her worries aren't on her list, but they weigh heavily on her mind ::

FCO_Braun says:
CO, CTO:  We had a big boost in business at the last part of the war. When the war ended most of the trade dried up, but not Exile Cafe. It keeps doing well in business.

FCO_Braun says:

Host CO_Krust says:
:: slaps FCO on the back:: FCO: I don't worry about you... ::points at CTO::

CMO_Lee says:
::leaves the ship right behind everyone else::

CTO_Terr says:

CTO_Terr says:
Self: Ah, home again for a while.

XO_Krieg says:

OPSFowler says:
::goes to her small quarters and freshens up before going to the Exile Cafe::

Vanessa says:
:: startled :: K'rust, Brother!

FCO_Braun says:
:: thinks to self, 'Wow, this place has really come together' ::

Ops_Lea says:
::leaves room and heads to the cafe::

Host Tanya says:
::looks startled::  Terrance:  I'm here to play; I've been making a tour of some of the outposts.

CMO_Lee says:
::heads to the cafe::

Vanessa says:
K'rust: I'm glad you found me. Please have some of your people take this cargo.

Host CO_Krust says:
Vanessa: You have done as I asked, I see.

XO_Krieg says:
::heads vaguely in the direction of Exile Cafe::

CTO_Terr says:
Tanya: Ah, forgive me, ma'am. I've been away for some time and Grom neglects to keep me informed.

OPSFowler says:
::after changing, heads to the bar::

TAC_Mabis says:
::takes tour of the area::

Vanessa says:
K'rust: Yes, she's right here.  :: hands K'rust a rectangular case ::

Vanessa says:
K'rust: The rest is in these crates and barrels.

CSO_Fist says:
::looks for this Cafe he's heard so much about::

Host Tanya says:
::notes people starting to trail into the cafe, and checks her chrono; still a few minutes before she has to perform::

Host CO_Krust says:
Vanessa: Good.

Vanessa says:
K'rust: I'm completely exhausted, and starved!

Host Tanya says:
::smiles at Terrance::  CTO: This will be my first gig here. It's been kinda slow all day. I hope it picks up soon.

CTO_Terr says:
::looks at the chronometer and shouts:: Grom: Get the food ready, our guests will be arriving any minute!

OPSFowler says:
::sees the CSO ahead:: CSO: Daven. Going to the party?

TAC_Mabis says:
::finds quarters and begins to arrange to suit::

CSO_Fist says:
OPS: Yeah, care to join me?

OPSFowler says:
CSO: Let's hurry up and get a good table, then.

Host CO_Krust says:
:: initializes an anti-gravity palette and walks to the Exile Cafe::  Vanessa: Follow me, then.

CMO_Lee says:
::sees OPS and CSO talking ahead::

CSO_Fist says:
::picks up the pace a little::

Vanessa says:
:: complies ::

CTO_Terr says:
::reserves two tables near the bar and entertainment for the crew::

Host Tanya says:
::decides it's time to start, and launches into her first set::

FCO_Braun says:
:: goes to a wall console and inputs a management code ::

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: If she's any good, she's staying.

XO_Krieg says:
::watches the civilians as he wanders, they are busy and intent on their lives::

FCO_Braun says:
:: nods quickly, as if to agree ::

CSO_Fist says:
::hears music:: OPS: There it is, up ahead.

FCO_Braun says:
:: looks at the bar's receipts ::

TAC_Mabis says:
::goes into meditation::

Host CO_Krust says:
:: sees OPS and CSO just ahead::

CTO_Terr says:
::lets Grom serve the regulars, but waits for the Pharaoh crew to arrive, so he can serve 'em personally::

CSO_Fist says:
::turns around:: CMO: Doc, you coming?

OPSFowler says:
CSO: Sounds like we get entertainment, too.

FCO_Braun says:
:: studies the receipts carefully ::

CMO_Lee says:
CSO: Yea, yea, I'm coming.

OPSFowler says:
::notices the CMO and the CO nearby::

Vanessa says:
:: walks with her brother, completely oblivious to the goings on around her ::

Host CO_Krust says:
Vanessa: So how is the family? Mother? Tianna?

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Jakob, we got friends a'coming. Leave that till later, pal.

CMO_Lee says:
::catches up with CSO and OPS::

FCO_Braun says:
CTO:  Watch this.  It usually works.

Host Tanya says:
::finishes her first song, and launches into the second, a slow sultry ballad::

Vanessa says:
:: is drawn from her thoughts by the question :: K'rust: Fine. Fine.

OPSFowler says:
CMO: Hurry, Doc. We want a good table. ::grins at him::

FCO_Braun says:
Grom: Grom!  You didn't think I was going to let you get by with this did you?!?!

CSO_Fist says:
::reaches the door and opens it for OPS:: OPS: Very authentic.

Ops_Lea says:
::enters the cafe behide a few others and notices the new musician::

Host CO_Krust says:
:: looks at his sister:: Really? Just... fine?

FCO_Braun says:
:: points quickly at the console ::

CSO_Fist says:
::saunters into the Exile Cafe and bellies up to the bar::

Host CO_Krust says:
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?

Host CO_Krust says:
A                  D                         E

Host CO_Krust says:
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico

CTO_Terr says:
CSO: What can I get you, my friend, and this lovely lady with you?  ::looks at Ops::

OPSFowler says:
CSO:Jakob and Andrew have done a good job ::nods::

FCO_Braun says:
:: watches Grom panic and apologize as he fixes the books ::

CMO_Lee says:
::walks next to CSO and OPS::

CSO_Fist says:
OPS: What'll you have?

OPSFowler says:
::grins at Andrew::

CTO_Terr says:
CMO, OPS, CSO: And guys, remember, the first two are on the house

FCO_Braun says:
:: whispers :: CTO:  He is a typical Ferengi; always assume he is up to no good. Fear and intimidation works best with him.

Vanessa says:
:: shakes her head to clear her thoughts :: K'rust: Yes, mother is wonderful and your little girl, she's such a joy, she's adjusting pretty well.

OPSFowler says:
CSO: Hmmmmm. I think I'll start with a white wine first.

CSO_Fist says:
CTO: A white wine for the lady and a pint of your finest ale for me. Doc?

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: A chilled white wine for the fair beauty of the Pharaoh here.  ::motions for Jakob to get the drinks::

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Now I know why I said yes to this venture.

FCO_Braun says:
CTO:  Andy, can you set me up with a Maker's and Coke?

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Sure, Jako.

Host CO_Krust says:
Vanessa: There is more, I know. We will talk later.

CTO_Terr says:
::fixes up the drink::

XO_Krieg says:
::enters the cafe::

CTO_Terr says:
ALL: Captain in the bar!!!!!

Vanessa says:
K'rust: Yes, there is, but for now I'd just like to eat and relax.

FCO_Braun says:
:: walks to the refrigerator and pulls out a bottle of white wine ::

Host Tanya says:
::finishes her song, and launches into the next, one with a peppier beat::

CTO_Terr says:
::rings bell for quiet::

Host CO_Krust says:
:: pulls in the palette of booze::

CMO_Lee says:
CTO: Just ...

FCO_Braun says:
OPS:  And here is a glass of wine for the lovely lady.

Host Tanya says:
::halts mid-song, and looks towards Terrance::

XO_Krieg says:
::moves up to the bar::

CMO_Lee says:
::silenced::

CTO_Terr says:
All: Ladies and Gentlemen, there never was a finer captain in the history of this bar, so put your glasses together for Captain K'rust Morok, of the USS Pharaoh.

Host CO_Krust says:
CTO/FCO: Gentleman! A little gift from my family! 

OPSFowler says:
::turns and sees the CO and a woman enter the bar::

Host CO_Krust says:
:: takes a slight bow::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Thank you very much, sir, and if you'd like to come behind the bar and serve your first drink, be my guest.

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Cheers!

XO_Krieg says:
::claps politely::

Host CO_Krust says:
All: I would like you to meet my sister, Vanessa.

FCO_Braun says:
:: smiles and nods ::

Vanessa says:
:: smiles and extends a hand ::

CTO_Terr says:
::looks to woman with CO:: Vanessa: And you must be Krust's sister. He's told me so much about you

CTO_Terr says:
::takes hand and kisses it gently::

FCO_Braun says:
:: aside to CTO :: CTO: Sister?!  I didn't know he had a sister.

TAC_Mabis says:
::steps into bar behind CO, pauses respectfully::

Vanessa says:
CTO: And you are...?

XO_Krieg says:
::smiles slightly at the CTO's gallant gesture::

CTO_Terr says:
::aside to FCO:: FCO: Jako, wake up.

Host CO_Krust says:
:: whisper:: Vanessa: Watch this one.

OPSFowler says:
Vanessa: Nice to meet you. 

CTO_Terr says:
Vanessa:  Lieutenant Commander Andrew Terrance, your brothers cheif tactical officer and part owner of this establishment.

All: The Pharaoh

FCO_Braun says:

CTO_Terr says:

Host Tanya says:

Host CO_Krust says:
All: PHARAOH!!!!!

CTO_Terr says:
XO: Magnus, welcome.  What can I get you?

CMO_Lee says:
All: The Pharaoh!!

CTO_Terr says:
::has no drink, but shouts::  All: THE PHARAOH!!!!

Vanessa says:
:: slowly, but completely, finishes her drink ::

TAC_Mabis says:
ALL:: PHARAOH

CSO_Fist says:
::downs the frothy brew and slams the empty stein on the bar:: CTO: Thank you, sir. May I have another?!

FCO_Braun says:
:: enjoys the smoky flavor of the bourbon with the rich caramel of the soda ::

CTO_Terr says:
<GROM> FCO: Mr Jakob, sir, could you tell Mr Andrew that there's a message for him on subspace?

XO_Krieg says:
CTO: Bourbon, straight. ::pauses:: Andrew...Andy...I can call you Andy, can't I?  I don't know what to do with myself.

OPSFowler says:
::sips her wine and looks around to see who is here::

CTO_Terr says:
::grabs glass of CSO and puts it under the tap::

Host CO_Krust says:
:: sits at the rail::

FCO_Braun says:
:: nods at Grom and turns to CTO :: CTO:  Grom says you have an incoming message.

CTO_Terr says:
XO: Sit there and take this. ::hands him the bourbon glass::

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: I'll be right there, Jakob. Thanks.

OPSFowler says:
CMO: Doctor, how is our CNS?

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: Good evening.

CTO_Terr says:
XO: I'll be right back to talk to you; and sure, Magnus, you can call me Andy if I can call you Magnus?

CSO_Fist says:
Tanya: Are you familiar with "The song of the Pharaoh"?

Host CO_Krust says:
:: finishes drink then walks to the replicator::

OPSFowler says:
TAC: Good evening to you. What do you want to drink?

XO_Krieg says:
::smiles with relief at this:: CTO: Absolutely.

CMO_Lee says:
OPS: She's doing the same, not much I can do for her. Just have to wait until she comes out of it.

Host Tanya says:
::looks at Fist::  Certainly.  I take it that's a request?  ::launches into the song::

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: Anything of Vulcan origin?

Host CO_Krust says:
:: replicates sheet music from the data base::

OPSFowler says:
CMO: Maybe I'll sit with her a while. If that is okay with you.

CTO_Terr says:
XO: I'll be right back.

FCO_Braun says:
TAC:  ::looks surprised:: Do Vulcans sing?

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Keep an eye on things. I'm going to see to this message.

Host CO_Krust says:
:: stands behind the CSO:: Tanya: Miss? I too have a request.

FCO_Braun says:
CTO:  Sure thing, Andy.

OPSFowler says:
TAC: Just a sec. FCO: Jakob. Our friend here would like something from Vulcan to drink.

CTO_Terr says:
::walks along to the small archway and ducks down, going out back to the console::

Host Tanya says:
::pauses::  Captain:  Certainly.  ::waits expectantly::

FCO_Braun says:
OPS:  Let's see what we have here.

CMO_Lee says:
OPS: Go right ahead.  Just notify me, if there is any change.

FCO_Braun says:
:: gets behind the bar ::

CTO_Terr says:
::enters code and awaits the message::

XO_Krieg says:
::pours himself two fingers::

TAC_Mabis says:
FCO:: Yes, Vulcans sing. Normally humans cannot hear the high pitch of our singing voice.

OPSFowler says:
CMO: Understood. And thanks, Doc.

CSO_Fist says:
::takes another swig and burps::

CTO_Terr says:
::watches as the screen comes on:: <Face>: Hello, Andy. How are ya?

TAC_Mabis says:
FCO:: But I was referring to Ops and my drink request.

Host Tanya says:
::looks at captain::  Your request, sir?

CTO_Terr says:
::finishes listening to the recorded message and steps back, missing his footing and knocking over a tray of glasses with a loud bang::

CSO_Fist says:
::shouts:: CTO: Just put those anywhere!

XO_Krieg says:
::drinks; the bitter fire burns his throat and he winces slightly::

FCO_Braun says:
OPS, TAC:  We have some Romulan ale... ummmm.... we got some... Hey, what do Vulcans drink?

XO_Krieg says:
::talks to self:: Smooth...

CMO_Lee says:
::hears the loud bang::

CTO_Terr says:
::ignores the mess and walks into the main bar area, past a rather busy and sweating Grom::

Host CO_Krust says:

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS::How about Saurian brandy?

Vanessa says:
:: hears the breaking glass ::

OPSFowler says:
TAC: Fine with me.

Host Tanya says:
::takes the music, and places it on the keyboard, but stands::  Captain:  I'm certain they'd prefer to hear it played by the author. ::smiles and steps aside::

CTO_Terr says:
::walks up to the Bushmills Whiskey 1.5l bottle and takes it down from the hanging position::

Host CO_Krust says:
Tanya: Unless you know Klingon, I could sing it. It would be better if you did, though.

OPSFowler says:
::finishes her wine and puts the glass on the bar::

CTO_Terr says:
::grabs a slim-jim glass and pours in the whiskey to the top::

FCO_Braun says:
:: overhears OPS and TAC :: OPS, TAC:  One Saurian Brandy, coming right up.

Host Tanya says:

OPSFowler says:
FCO: Make that two.

CTO_Terr says:

Host CO_Krust says:

Host Tanya says:
::thinks this could prove interesting::

CTO_Terr says:
XO: Sir, I have a request.

CTO_Terr says:
::sets down the empty glass with a steady hand::

CSO_Fist says:

CTO_Terr says:
XO: Sir, I request a leave of absence, starting now, finishing, sometime.  I would ask the CO, but he's, well, busy and I am in a rather large hurry.

OPSFowler says:
FCO: ...I'd better have some food.

FCO_Braun says:
:: smiles at OPS :: OPS:  I believe we do have some good authentic Irish stew. Let me serve you up a bowl with some brown bread.

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: Interesting. The CO seems to phase in and out of our time when he sings..

CO_Krust says:
::finishes the song::

OPSFowler says:
FCO: Thanks, Jakob. ::smiles back::

XO_Krieg says:
::raises eyebrow:: CTO: What? Reason, I need a reason.

Vanessa says:
:: catches on and sings along toward the end ::

OPSFowler says:
::looks at the TAC and the CO::

Host Tanya says:
::moves forward to the microphone, clapping::  All:  Let's give a big hand for the captain!

CTO_Terr says:
::looks up at the CO now the song is finished::

FCO_Braun says:
:: laughs and claps cheerfully ::

Vanessa says:
:: claps ::

CMO_Lee says:
::claps::

OPSFowler says:
TAC: Maybe the brandy wasn't such a good idea.

CTO_Terr says:
XO: I'd rather not go into it here in the open, sir, but it's very important, Magnus.  I mean that.

Host Tanya says:
::notes the party's picking up, and launches into her own set of songs::

CO_Krust says:
All: Thank you. You are all an inspiration. Now, Mr. Fist? You had something?

OPSFowler says:
::claps for the CO's song::

Ops_Lea says:
::wakes from her daze and heads towards the counter::

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS::Yes, as I still have not recieved mine.

CTO_Terr says:
::ignores the festivities and looks straight at the XO::

FCO_Braun says:
:: watches as Grom brings OPS a bowl of stew and bread ::

CSO_Fist says:
Tanya: How 'bout "The Girl From Ipanema"?

XO_Krieg says:
::breathes heavily:: CTO: I trust you, Commander. I want a justification across my desk before you leave. ::looks heavily at CTO::

OPSFowler says:
TAC: I didn't see the CO phase. I thought it might have been the brandy talking. Sorry

Host Tanya says:
::seguays into Fist's request, getting into the music::

CO_Krust says:
:: returns to his seat, then notices the XO::

CO_Krust says:
:: walks over::

CTO_Terr says:
XO: Sir, I know that this isn't standard procedure. I would have gone to the Captain, but he's busy and enjoying himself with his sister.  I'll have the justification on your desk in ten minutes, I'll be gone in 15.

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: No problem.

OPSFowler says:
::Smells the stew:: FCO:Ummm, Jakob, that smells great!

CSO_Fist says:
FCO: How 'bout a Black and Tan.

CO_Krust says:
XO/CTO: Gentlemen, enjoying ourselves?

XO_Krieg says:
::notes CO's approach and CTO's haste:: CTO: Granted.

CMO_Lee says:
::notices OPS is a little drunk::

FCO_Braun says:
CSO:  A Black and Tan!  Outstanding, Mr. Fist!  Coming right up.

OPSFowler says:
TAC: Why don't we go sit down over there and you can tell me about what you saw.

XO_Krieg says:
::looks at CTO to see if he will notify captain::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Ah, yes, sir. Thank you.

TAC_Mabis says:
::nods at OPS:: After you.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Sir, I have just asked the XO to grant me a leave of absense starting now.

FCO_Braun says
     :: pours the Black and Tan fairly well, but not as good as a true Irishman ::

CO_Krust says:
     CTO/XO: Excellent. Nice place, Andrew. XO: And he has good cause?

FCO_Braun says:
      :: sits it in front of the CSO :: CSO:  A Black and Tan.

TAC_Mabis says:
      ::follows OPS to table::

CTO_Terr says:
      CO: Sir, as my CO, you have seen my record; and I don't mean my Starfleet Service one?

OPSFowler says:
      ::sits and begins to eat her stew:: TAC: So, what did you see earlier?

CO_Krust says:
      CTO: Indeed.

CTO_Terr says:
      CO: Then you will have noticed an entry concerning an Andorian called J'arbeth Akar?

CO_Krust says:
      CTO: Your point?

TAC_Mabis says:
       OPS:: I am not sure. Perhaps it was an optical illusion with the stage lights.

CO_Krust says:
CTO: What of it?

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Sir, I just received a message from Akar. He, was as you know, was one of my former associates.

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: I believe all of the diagnostics I ran on the Pharaoh had tired me out.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: He just informed me that if I didn't meet him at a certain place at a certain time, my son, David, will die.

CO_Krust says:
CTO: I see, don't you think we should handle it together?

XO_Kri says:
::leans forward::

CTO_Terr says:
CO/XO: Sirs, he stipulated no one else; and, besides, you have a ship to run.  Starfleet might notice one of its captains going awol.  And, anyway, the last Klingon he met, he wears his teeth as a necklace.

OPSFowler says:
::chews on a peice of bread:: TAC: It could be that you are tired, but we should check it out to be safe.

XO_Kri says:
CTO: I owe you for my family's sake.

XO_Kri says:
CTO: And mine.

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: As you wish. I do happen to have my tricorder with me.

CO_Krust says:
::narrows eyes::  CTO: All the more reason I should be involved.

CTO_Terr says:
XO: I know that, sir, but I don't think the Pharaoh could go on a personal mission, especially for its CTO.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: I do respect that you want to help me, but I just don't know if it's possible.

CO_Krust says:
CTO: You are on leave for three days, what you do with that time is your business.  However, if you get killed, I will kill you... again.

OPSFowler says:
TAC: Why don't you take a few readings and we'll look them over.

XO_Kri says:
::looks gravely  at CO::

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS:: Agreed. ::takes a few discreet readings::

CO_Krust says:
::turns and walks back to his sister:: CTO: Do what you think is best but heed my warning: Be Careful.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Sir, that's kind of you, but I don't know how long I'll be gone, or if I'll be coming back.

XO_Kri says:
::reaches out to grab CTO's hand:: CTO: Luck.

CTO_Terr says:
::accepts the hand of the XO and says:: XO: Thank you, Magnus. I think I'll need it.

CMO_Lee says:
::notices the meeting between CTO, XO, and CO.  Doesn't make anything of it::

CO_Krust says:
CTO: You will be back in three days or you will not be a member of this crew, you will be in prison for insubordination.  Vanessa: Now, something troubles you, tell me.

CSO_Fist says:
::slurring:: FCO: Hey, tarbender, can I have another cup of loudmouth!

CTO_Terr says:
::nods to the Captain and then walks out the door of Exile Cafe, wondering if he'll return::

TAC_Mabis says:
OPS::Nothing unusual.

Vanessa says:
K'rust: Let's go someplace alone.

FCO_Braun says:
:: smiles slyly :: CSO:  Sure thing, Mr. Fist, have two...
