Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Yokati: thank you first... Inform the Honor guard we are enroute to join them

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: Aye.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Sleek Diplomatic transport crests over the mountain range and comes down very quietly to touch down with a soft bump on the landing pad.

::rides the rough lift down to the level 1:: CSO, CIV: We have got to hurry

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::rolls his eyes at Cerdan, turns and watches the transport arrive::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Hurries toward the hanger and the tarmac, arriving in time to see the transport settle on the pad::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: I'm right here with you ma'am. It will take them a moment to egress the transport.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::nods at the CO::

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Gets his men in line, similar to the Jem'Hadar group, behind the dual rows of Starfleet officers on both sides of the Red Carpet::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
Laevon: Nice of the Captain to show up

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::slightly breathless, move to her place::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::nods to the EO::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>EO: Isn't it though... Punctuality was never Federation strongpoint.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::walks next to Brock, whispers:: CSO: Where do I stand?

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Acknowledges the CSO's arrival::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::moves to his place in the greeting party, near Capt Thelsh::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CIV: Stand here next to me. ::smiles at her then returns his attention to the delegation::

Host General_Ranuck says:
ACTION: As the Group forms up the hatch on the transport opens with a hiss of escaping air and extends the gangplank down to the ground as a gradual ramp

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::smiles and stands next to Brock, swishing her tail happily::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Whispers to self:: Time to look sharp for the brass...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Detail, Attention!

Host General_Ranuck says:
ACTION: The group of Dignitaries begins their egress from the transport taking in deep breaths of Haisian air, and looking around.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::fixes his uniform one last time and stands at attention::

Host General_Ranuck says:
ACTION: The Honour guard snaps tightly together.

Admiral_Croft says:
::Walks out of the ship and takes a deep breath and looks around::

Host Iu says:
::Whispers in the Captain's ear::  Thelsh: They are going to break something being so taut

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Snaps too, as the pomp and circumstance begins::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::jumps because she didnt know Iu was there:: Iu: Behave! Everyone has ceremonies... now Dont Do That Again!

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::looks around with a grin, this being her first chance to see an Admiral::

Admiral_Croft says:
::Walks down the Ramp and nods to the men::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The Dignitaries on the ship await the formal greeting by the Captain as the last of them emerges from the ship and passes the Honour Guard.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::salutes the Admiral::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::salutes awkwardly::

Admiral_Croft says:
::Nods to the CSO and stops at the end of the Honor Guard, looking for the CO::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Hopes he doesn't get escort duty for the group::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Straightens as the Dignitaries gather:: Adm: Admiral, Ambassadors, honored Guest.  I am Captain Thelsh, commading officer of Abertura Station.  Allow me to welcome you to the future of Peace in our galaxy.  Here you will find enemies who have learned to work together for the common good.  Diverse personalities helping one another...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: and laying old hatreds to rest.  Allow me to welcome each of you to Hais V, and to Abertura.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The Dignitaries clap approval, some bowing in acknowledgement

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::twitches her ears::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Politly applauds::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::all but snickers at the speech::

Admiral_Croft says:
::Looks back at the honor guard:: CO: thank you captain, it is an honor to be here.  I look forward to learning more about all of this

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Adm: I hope we are given the opportunity to really show you the station, Admiral.

Host Iu says:
All: As one of the Mountain, Mahura greets you all in friendship and curiousity.  May the Mountain keep you safe.  ::He then whistle/sings a very impressive formal Haispoi greeting prayer::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The Dignitaries begin to head toward the base, the Honour guard breaking up and assiting their assigned Dignitaries to their quarters as ground crew begin unloading the transport of the Dignitaries luggage.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::looks at his PADD to make sure that he knows where the guests quarters are::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::steps to the Adm: Adm Croft, I believe?  I am Laevon, Vorta of this station.  It will be my honor to serve you and your staff... Be welcome to a mere outpost of Dominion strength.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::looks up at Brock:: CSO: What do I do now?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Stiffens at Laevon's affront::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Watches Laevon closely::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CIV: Stay with me. ::whispers::

Admiral_Croft says:
::Is a little taken by Laevons words:: Laevon: a mere outpost... how so?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::nods:: CSO: Okay ::whispers back, gripping his hand tightly::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Brock* Lt-Cmdr,  please inform the Captain that the Cardassian and Klingon delegations will be arriving within the next 30 minutes.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Steps over to the CSO as the group begins to break up::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Adm: Why Admiral... this is but a minor station, actually hardly worthy of that name.  Had this been a true base of Dominion power, you would be truly awed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::steps to the side for semi-privacy:: *Yokati*: Aye.

Admiral_Croft says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: Captain, would it be possible to have a tour now?

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Looks puzzled as Yokati speaks:: CSO: More Brass?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::whispers to the CO:: CO: Sir, the Cardassian and Klingon delegations will be here in 30 minutes.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
EO: Apparently. Everyone wants to be important.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CSO: Are we to wait here for the next arrivals?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: As if on queue, a second and third honour guard assembles at the two other landing pads.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: Uh huh

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
EO: Looks like it. ::nods in the direction of the second and third honor guards::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSO: Thank you Commander... :Adm: Of course, a tour is possible.  Lt Cmd Brock, my Chief Science Officer will be happy to give you a brief tour of the station.  I must remain available for the other delegations who will be arriving shortly...

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::whispers:: EO: Well, looks like I get to be the baby sitter.

Admiral_Croft says:
CO: excellent, if you would point me to the CSO, then i would be on my way

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CSO: Lucky you, ::Smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Motions Brock forward::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::steps forward:: Adm: Admiral? I am Lt. Cmdr Brock. Chief Science Officer.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::looks to the EO:: EO: So do we go party or what?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Federation Dignitaries are almost all inside the station as the Cardassian transport touches down.

Admiral_Croft says:
CSO: Admiral Croft..shall we be off, i am eager to see the station

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CIV: Kedi. I think we have to wait for more guests to arrive, would you like to wait with me?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves to the Cardassian landing site::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::motions EO and CIV to accompany her::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::shrugs:: EO: Okay.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Adm: Of course. Would you like to see your quarters first, or should we go directly to the C&C?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::saunters after the captain, making note of each of the Fed Delegates::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::follows the CO::

Admiral_Croft says:
CSO: Quarters can wait, C&C will do.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Nudges Kedi:: CIV: There's our que, C"mon. ::Moves to the formation::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::nods:: Adm: Of course. This way. ::leads the Adm. and her entourage::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Cardassian delegation consisting of a couple Legates and half a dozen Guls emerges from their transport

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Again feels the faint disquiet of having to deal with recent enemies::

Admiral_Croft says:
::Follow:: CSO: is there something wrong? ::Glances around::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Calls the honor guard to attention::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
<Syarta> ::Feels relieved at seeing some familiar faces amongst the group::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Adm: The station was in very poor condition when we first arrived. Much credit must go to the CoE for getting her in this shape.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Snaps to attention again::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::stands as much at attention as she can, not being used to it::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Smiles a quick smile at Syarta, but knows he will probably deal with the Cardassians better than she will::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Adm: No not at all ma'am. This way to the Turbo Lifts. There are four and only one goes to the C&C.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Almost laughs as Kedi tries to do her best Starfleet::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
<Syarta> Cardassians: Welcome friends to Abertura Station.  Myself and Captain Thelsh welcome you to this most auspicious occasion.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Adm: Most of the station is under Federation control. There are areas that are limited to Dominion or Klingon personnel only.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Steps forward and greets the Cardi delegates:: Legate: I am Capt Thelsh. As my esteemed collegue says, Welcome to  Abertura Station.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::arrives at the TL and motions for the Adm to enter:: Adm: This is the TL that we will use. If you will?

Admiral_Croft says:
::Rushes to keep up with the CSO:: CSO: awww here i am thinking that you didn't like getting stuck babysitting the Admiral....this is a very interesting Station, how long have you been here? ::Goes into the TL::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
<Legate> ::Bows before Thelsh:: Thelsh: On behalf of the Cardassian Reformed Government, I thank you for an invitation to this dedication ceremony in hopes of helping solidfy our friendship with the Federation and the Haisian people.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::sighs and wonders how Brock is doing::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::his head flushes red from the Adm's statement::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::leans over and whispers to Kedi:: CIV: This will be finished soon

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::enters the TL:: TL: C&C     Adm: The C&C is the nerve center of the station. From there we can monitor all the functions and missions objectives.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Again the Honour guard breaks up assisting the Legates and Guls to their respective quarters.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::whispers back:: EO: Then we party?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
<General Ranuck> ::Strides across the tarmac to Landing pad four where the Klingon delegation is set to momentarily arrive

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::silently hopes the TL doesn't malfunction::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CIV: Then we party ::Grins widely::

Admiral_Croft says:
::Notices the CSO go red:: CSO: what responsiblitiesdo you have here as CSO? ::Taps her foot waiting for the TL to stop::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CIV: One more ship I believe to arrive

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::flashes the EO a grin:: EO: Okay.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Legate: It is our hope as well, Legate.  Please, this way to your quarters.  ::Points out a crewman to assist the Legate::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Adm: I oversee and manage all of the scientific research and development here on the station. We have 8 laboratories on two levels.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::the TL finally slows to a stop and the doors swish open:: Adm: Here we are ma'am.

Admiral_Croft says:
CSO: what type of work is done in the labs?  ::Walks out of the TL:: I guess your work here is almost done...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Looks down at the arriving admiral from the 2nd level of C&C::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: A bird of prey suddenly swoops over the mountain range, before circling and raising its wings in preparation for landing.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Adm: We have a lab for life sciences, ecology, sociology, and planetary geology.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::gives the cardassians a cool stare, then basically ignores them::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
ALL: Admiral in the Conn!

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Amazed at the sight of the Klingon ship::

Admiral_Croft says:
CSO: i hope they they are not as rush down there as this tour... ::Looks around::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves toward the Klingon pad, motioning EO and CIV to follow one more time::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Moves in behind the Captain::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::walks next to the EO::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
EO: So this is what you Starfleet people do all day.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>::Well there goes the fresh air around here... ::sighs heavily::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The BOP touches down, and opens its hold doors, as a dozen Klingons emerge, very raucously greeted by Ranuck and his men.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::ignores the Adm's comment:: Adm: Here is the C&C. ::leads to the Ops console:: Adm: From here we can monitor the operational status of the station and communications.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CIV: One of our less pleasant duties

Admiral_Croft says:
CSO: i think your duties here are done...i'm good here, and i can find my way to my quaters...::Motions here away::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Glares at Laevon, and turns to the boisterous crowd emerging from the BOP::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::shrugs:: EO: And to think I bought a new dress for this.

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
::Thinks Security will be busy later::

EO_ENS_Cerdan says:
CIV: Don't worry, I like te new dress
