RECAP: The Hayden has arrived at Hais and is preparing to lauch the new satellite grid, while the crews mingle at a dinner planned by Captain Thelsh.  The Crew of the Hayden will beam down shortly for the dinner, as the satellites begin deployment.

[[[[[ Begin Mission - Stardate 10211.27 ]]]]]

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::On the balcony of the C&C, overlooking the pit, watching the various Klingon, Jem'Hadar and Starfleet officers at their consoles, keeping the station in running order::

Host Syarta says:
::Arrives in C&C, dressed in his official uniform and approaches the Captain::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::aboard the Hayden in Astrometrics, monitoring the continued deployment of the satellites::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Smiles at Syarta, noticing the small Haisian is all grins::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::grumbles to herself:: How come does he get to bail on this whole meet and dine thing and the rest of us get stuck doing it?  Stupid husband-captain type man.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Having just beamed down to the station....glances at her padd and heads out of the transporter room.::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Jem'Hadar Transporter chief> HXO: Please remain here until your escort arrives.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::In Astrometrics, making a minor adjustment to one of the satellites programming alignment::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Well, I guess you will have had plenty of guests by the time all this is over.

Host Syarta says:
@ <Brock> ::Hands a padd to Lys::  Lys: This is the best deployment to meet our needs.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::sees Sam and catches up with her::  HXO: Excuse me Pudgy person... mind if I tag along?

Host Syarta says:
Thelsh: The Dominion never held gatherings like this.  There are so many species, all co-existing.  We made a good choice allowing the Federation to come.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Looks over at Brock::  Brock:  Which ones have you altered?

HCEO_Jax says:
@::beams down just after the XO::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::already beamed down to the station, wanting to put solid ground underneath her feet as quickly as possible... sees a few of the Hayden crew nearby but chooses not to approach::

Host HXO_Skye says:
HCNS: Not if you keep calling me pudgy....::Gives her a mock glare.::

HCSO_Lys says:
@ Brock: What changes have you made from what we already agreed upon?

HEO_Davidson says:
::exits the stations transporter room and takes a look around:: Self: Whoa! ::turns around:: HCEO: Commander ::nod::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::feels herself appear on the stations transporter padd and sees a few people teeter off, one of them waddling::

HTO_Marr says:
::beams down quickly behind the HXO and HCEO.

HCEO_Jax says:
XO: I must say this is a most wonderful opportunity.  I never imagined seeing such a unique facility.  ::Stops short at the Transporter Chief's order::

HCNS_Cutter says:
HXO: Awwww.  Okay okay.  I'll quit.  But you have to admit.. if was kind of funny. ::grins::

Host Syarta says:
@ <Brock> Coreena: The Northern and Southern 45 degree satellites, more axial coverage of the poles would be preferred.

HCMO_Bishop says:
@::looks over her shoulder at the fresh wave of people beamed down:: CEO: Hello, are you from the Hayden?

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::nods::

Host Syarta says:
Thelsh: I think they are arriving ::Hears a the dominion whine of the transporter::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::gives the HCEO an odd look but says nothing::

HEO_Davidson says:
@HCMO:Hey doc::waves at the doctor::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Yokati> :ACO: The Starfleet crew is arriving.

Host HXO_Skye says:
HCNS: Depends on your definition of funny... short person. ::chuckles.::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::looks around quickly, taking in the surroundings, looking more like she's surveying for a tactical analysis of the place rather than just looking around::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta, Yokati: Thanks... let's go say hello.

Host HXO_Skye says:
CEO: It is quite an opportunity.... Maybe some exploring is in order...Later.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves down the ramp and around the lift to the transporter area.::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::turns back to his work, rubbing his head a bit, a headache setting in::

HCEO_Jax says:
HCMO: That I am, madam.  Commander Jax at your service.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Looking over the programming, alters the axis, one eye on the screen, the other on the controls.  Completing the Northern one, starts on the Southern one.::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::smiles and nods:: HXO: Okay.  I deserved that.  I'm going to make sure Jerlia loses all the fun drugs for your delivery... but I'm not bitter.

HCMO_Bishop says:
@::grins:: HEO: Hello, Jay...

HTO_Marr says:
::looks at the Jem'Hadar transporter chief and stands quietly::

Host Syarta says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Follows the Captain::

HCEO_Jax says:
HTO: Ahh, Lieutenant, I've heard so much about you.  Greetings.

Host Syarta says:
::Almost races down the ramp with the Captain::

HEO_Davidson says:
@::gives his friend a hug:: HCMO: Good to have you back. Sorry I didn't come to see ya yet. How ya been?

Host HXO_Skye says:
HCNS: Now who do you think is more threatening, you or I? ::Looks up as she sees a group of Dominion types coming at them.::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Seeing Talan rub his head.  Quietly::  CSO:  You alright?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::murmurs:: HXO: How did Jason get out of this again?  He's sooo not as important as he thinks you know

HCEO_Jax says:
Transporter Chief: I do say, it's getting a might crowded in here.  Is an escort really necessary?

HTO_Marr says:
HCEO: Sir, I am an ensign, sir. ::stands solidly::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>:: Approaches the Hayden crew, his oily Vorta hair impeccably slicked back:: HXO: Greetings to the crew of the USS Hayden...

HCMO_Bishop says:
::smiles:: HCEO: Hello Commander, I'm Dr. Bishop. I believe I'll be seeing you soon for your first check up.... ::winks::

HCNS_Cutter says:
HXO: Me, of course.  As CNS I can make people run away screaming and I don't have to say a word. ::proudly::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::observes the crew interactions, determining the different friend/coworker relationships between each of them::

HCMO_Bishop says:
@HEO: I've been better Lieutenant, but I'm adjusting...

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Walks around the lift in time to hear Laevon's greeting, grits her teeth in frustration::

HCEO_Jax says:
HTO: Oh, my dear...my apologies Ensign.  I believe I've mistaken you for my Engineering Officer.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::tries real hard not to flinch and step back at the greeting::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Extends her hand:: Laevon: I am Commander Samantha Skye., XO of the USS Hayden.  It's a pleasure to be hosted at this facility.

HTO_Marr says:
HCEO: It is not a problem, sir.

HCEO_Jax says:
HCMO: Ah of course, the required physical.  I shall look forward to it.

HEO_Davidson says:
@HCMO:No need to call me by that...you know my name

HTO_Marr says:
::nods at the CTO:: CTO: Sir.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::smiling as he turns to look at her:: HOPS: Just a bit of a headache.  Too much time staring at monitors?

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Alters the programming of the Southern one, locking in the rotation.::  Brock:  That completes those two.

HCTO_Kordus says:
::hears a familiar voice and allows herself to smile:: TO: Ensign

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>: HXO: Of course it is commander... of course it is.  Ahh, here is our esteemed captain Thelsh.  ::Bows sarcastically to Thelsh::

HCMO_Bishop says:
@HEO: Alright then, Jay....

HCEO_Jax says:
::smiles broadly at seeing their hosts::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::watching the Vorta out of the corner of her eye - doesn't like him one bit, and she hasn't even met him yet.::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::really getting the heebies now but smiles...kind of::

HEO_Davidson says:
@HCMO:Now that wasn't that hard now was it?

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: Captain.  It's a pleasure to meet you....I'm Commander Skye....This is the Senior Staff of the Hayden.

HTO_Marr says:
::shifts quietly next to the CTO and _whispers_:: CTO: This should be an interesting dinner, sir.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Antennea stiff in anger, ignores Laevon:: HXO: Greetings Commander, Welcome to Abertura Station.  It is a pleasure to have you down for dinner, which by the way is almost ready.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::finishing:: HOPS/ACSO: Well, I think we are ready to begin.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::resists the impulse to grin and wave at the CO.  She didn't seem all that happy to begin with::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::still watching them all, listening, observing without being too obvious:: TO: That it should...  interesting is one way of putting it, anyway

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: We appreciate the honor and convey the apologies of our Captain.  He's been unfortunately detained.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@CSO:  We are almost completed with the alterations.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::steps closer to Jerlia::  HCMO: I hope 'having us for dinner' is just a figure of speech...

HCMO_Bishop says:
@::watches the XO greet the CO::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Makes one last adjustment:: CSO:  That should do it.  Anything else will have to wait for fine tuning once settled in.

HEO_Davidson says:
@HCNS:I don't think he meant it literally Ma'am

HTO_Marr says:
::stands silently, looking at all the assorted people in the room with intent::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HXO: I understand about unexpected events.  If you would introduce your staff, I will be happy to start our little tour.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::looks at Davidson for a moment and then just shakes her head::  EO: Oh well.. gee.. thanks Jay. ::sarcastic whisper::

HCMO_Bishop says:
@::sniggers at the counselor's remark:: HCNS: I don't know... I always thought I'd look rather dashing in bits of parsley...

HEO_Davidson says:
@::laughs::HCNS:Sarcasim suits you Commander. Well done.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Nods.:: CO: This is Commander Keely Cutter, the Captain's wife and our Counselor.

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: This is Lieutenant Jerlia Bishop, our Chief Medical Officer.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::hears her name and realizes she has to be professional or something and does a big fake cheesy smile::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::nods to Coreena::  HOPS/ACSO: Okay then.  Launching the control satellite.  ::initiates the launch::

HCMO_Bishop says:
@::nods to the CO:: CO: Pleasure...

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: This is Commander Jax.  He's newly been assigned to us as our Chief Engineering Officer.

HCEO_Jax says:
::takes the Captain's hand in both of his and shakes vigorously::  CO: A pleasure, a real pleasure.  I can't wait to see the rest of your facility.  The interspecies interactions alone must be fascinating.  My thanks for hosting us this evening.

HCTO_Kordus says:
::rolls her eyes... the new engineer talks too much::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Monitors the deployment::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::hisses:: CMO: Shoot him with a sedative or something!

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: This is our new Chief Tactical Officer Lorelai Kordrus.

HTO_Marr says:
::glares at the HCEO but quickly turns::

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: Reading it on course for geosync above the station.

HEO_Davidson says:
::whispers::@HCEO:DOwn boy...::laughs::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::Nods at being recognized:: CO: Sir

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Nods greeting to the senior staff:: All: Then it is my pleasure to introduce you to Syarta, the Trade representative for the Haisian High Echelon ::indicates the small, yellow skinned alien standing next to her::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  Concur...

HCMO_Bishop says:
@::shakes her head:: CNS: Forgot my medkit.... sorry....

HCNS_Cutter says:
::sighs:: CMO: You're no fun..

HCNS_Cutter says:
::nods at the small, yellow skinned alien::

HCMO_Bishop says:
@CNS: You don't like him? Ah, but counselor look at him... he's exactly what our ship needs.... a little boost to the weary

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  As soon as it is in position, I will move the ship for the next location.

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: Well.....if you're ready I think many of my staff would like to see your station

HCSO_Lys says:
@::nods:: HOPS: Whose on the bridge anyway?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: He's a butt kisser.   ::she states bluntly, not quite ready to forgive him for taking Brynn's place::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Smiles::  HCSO:  Me in a moment.  And no hard feelings, but I would rather be at the helm then our new CEO.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Turning to the Vorta standing behind her:: All: and you have met the 'honorable' Laevon, so let us continue with that tour.  This way please... ::Leads the group around the lift, into the command and control area::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::chuckles:: HOPS: I'll join you.  We can complete this from there.

HTO_Marr says:
::follows quietly, taking the back of the line::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Wonders how long the tour will be and if the Captain will show the restrooms along the way.::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::can't help but overhear the conversation between the CNS and CMO... hearing what they say explains a lot about their respective reactions toward him::

HCMO_Bishop says:
CNS: He's just friendly.

HCEO_Jax says:
::follows behind looking around like a kid in a candy shop, grinning the whole while, saying Hi and waving to all they pass::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon>:: Barely raises an eyebrow at the comment::

HEO_Davidson says:
::follows everyone::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::follows the CO, ignoring the CEO completely::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Looks at the screen and reaches for the control::  HCSO:  Locked in place.  Let's go.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::secures his station to transfer to the bridge::

HEO_Davidson says:
CEO: Don't think she likes you too much sir.

HEO_Davidson says:
::points to the CNS::

HCNS_Cutter says:
CMO: He's a moron Jerlia.  ::states quietly and then walks a little faster::

Host Syarta says:
@ <Brock> ::Looks at padd, and does some research::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::follows Coreena::  HOPS: How is Katie?  I didn't get the chance to see her this morning.

HCMO_Bishop says:
::mutters after her:: CNS: Counselor, heal thy self...

HCEO_Jax says:
HEO: Why, whatever for?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::flips her hair over her shoulder and keeps looking around::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Heading for the nearest TL::  HCSO: She was excited about a project her teacher has the class working on that deals with this stations various people.  ::Steps into the TL::  Computer, bridge.

HTO_Marr says:
::walks quietly, noting the best places to mount a defense in case the dinner should go bad...::

HEO_Davidson says:
::shrugs:: CEO: That is just her way of being nice i guess.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Glances around the area.....trying to make out how the consoles are configured....how the technology is spliced together.::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::looks to the CEO and for a moment remembers the person he's taking the place of.... her heart sinks::

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: How timely of the teacher.  Did she pick a specific species or culture?

HCTO_Kordus says:
::looks around, watching and listening to various people they pass, and various side conversations in the group::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::blinks away the tears that accompany the thoughts of that day and quickly looks around for Othello::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
ALL: This is the C&C, the command and control, located on the top deck of the station.  The Station actually extends underground for 10 levels, so is almost as deep as she is tall.

Host Syarta says:
::Follows the group observing all of them::

Host Syarta says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Follows the group in the rear sizing up each of these Starfleet starship officers::

HTO_Marr says:
::notes 10 underground levels:: Self: Hmmm...

HCNS_Cutter says:
::still kinda creeped out by this whole thing but is kind of interested by the CO... Rhiannon mentioned her... maybe?::

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO:Typical Isoleaner Circutry Captain?

HCTO_Kordus says:
::she personally is interested as hell in the place, but can tell from the looks of it why Ashlynn disliked it so much::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  They were to each chose one of the races here and write something about them.  If possible, they wanted to talk to them.  But one of the parents put a stop to that idea when their child wanted to do the Jem'Hadar.  ::Steps off onto the bridge, heading for navigations.::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::lets out a low whistle as she looks around:: Out loud: Look at all the technology I could wreck here!  Who needs engineering...

HCSO_Lys says:
@::moving towards SCI:: HOPS: Whom did Katie pick?

HEO_Davidson says:
::laughs::HCNS:Easy...I don't want to have to fix anything.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: She is, obviously, a Dominion outpost, built toward the end of the war.  The Klingons had the original control of her, but ...disagreements between the Klingon garrison and the Jem'Hadar column still assigned here, lead to the Federation gaining command.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Sits down and keys in her codes::  HCSO:  I don't know... she says she wanted to surprise me.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::smiles at Davidson:: HEO: You ever thought that maybe it's not me?  Perhaps there is another reason why that stuff always breaks?

HCMO_Bishop says:
::observes everyone and mostly keeps to herself::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Crosses her arms and glances at those following the group.::

Host Klordy says:
Action: As the dinner is getting started Captain Cutter of the Hayden and XO Puller of Abertura Station are touring Kayairn the Capital City of Hais. Captain Cutter is having difficulty being pleasant considering how much he dislikes missing any kind of meal.

HTO_Marr says:
::glances back at the two following him but pays attention to Thelsh::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::checks on the status of the control satellite::  HOPS: Placement seems perfect.  It is precisely above the station per specifications.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@COMM: Abertura station:  This is the Hayden.  We will be moving out for deployment.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HEO: The SF Corps of Engineers has just finished a complete renovation and combination of our technology with dominion tech.  You would have to specify which system you want to know about, before I could answer that.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Looks at the TO hoping to catch his eye....then glances toward the two following them as if to say "Keep an eye on them"::

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO:How were you able to fix all the incompatibility issues? Specifically with the power grid?

HTO_Marr says:
::throws a imperceptible nod at the HXO::

Host Syarta says:
<C&C> COMM Hayden: Understood Hayden, we are initiating uplink with Control satellite now.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  Good...  Looks they are ready too.  Shall I inform the XO?

HCEO_Jax says:
ACO: Oh how fascinating even the technology is intertwined.  The chance to work in a facility such as this is truly one of a kind.  You are quite lucky.  I should love to take a closer look at engineering...provided time is available of course.

HCTO_Kordus says:
::notices the brief exchange between the TO and XO, but doesn't share their opinion that the Abertura people pose much of a threat::

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: Beep her and see if she can answer.  Don't want to interrupt a good time.  ::smiles::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HEO: In truth, I can't even begin to answer that.  I can get you in touch with Chief Silver, of the CoE, and she could run you through that.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::bites down on her tongue HARD and smiles sickenly sweetly at the CEO::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HCEO: Perhaps Chief Silver can give you that tour.

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO:That would be good Captain. I would like to know.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::nods, then a bit of mischief....::  *XO*:  Ma'am, just letting you know we are about to run off with the ship.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::stops and quickly turns to Coreena, the look on his face is utter disbelief::

HCEO_Jax says:
::grins back at the CNS, completely naive of her feelings::  ACO: Oh that would be most wonderful.

Host HXO_Skye says:
*HOPS*:   Just don't take her far. ::Chuckles:: Everything ready to go up there?

HTO_Marr says:
::wonders where the food is at::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Turns to look at Talan::  *XO*:  Yes Ma'am.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::gets a mental picture of her popping him in the nose and grins::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::watching the CEO and tries really, really hard not to laugh... he not only talks too much, but is completely clueless as well...  shakes her head, wondering how he can be so oblivious::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::a smile grows as he sees the playful look in her eyes.  Looking around he see a few of the other bridge staff are in awe also::

Host HXO_Skye says:
*HOPS*: Excellent.  Why don't you join us and we'll begin deployment after the meal.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Motions everyone toward the lift, even as they look out the C&C windows to see the magnificent peaks of the Rebquo mountains that the base is built in::

Host Syarta says:
ACTION: As the lift opens Iu is standing there

HEO_Davidson says:
::follows the group::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Turns back around and moves the ship at 1/16 impulse.::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::notices the new person in the lift::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::takes in the scenery and relaxes a little.  After all - it wasn't his fault he was a moron::

Host Iu says:
Thelsh: Visitors from beyond the sky.  You do keep odd company, talker to the mountain.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Eyes up the stranger in the lift.::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@*HXO*: Actually, if you don't mind, Talan and I are going to visit the station.  I am... not comfortable with so many strangers at a meal.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::sits back down in his chair and settles in for the long haul, this is going to take a while to get done::  HOPS: Looks like this is going to take the better part of a day to finish.

HCMO_Bishop says:
::eyes this Iu person::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Gives a start at seeing the enigmatic Haispoi:: Iu: Ahh... ahhh, Iu... this is the senior staff of the Hayden.  ::whispers:: Please keep the mystic stuff to a minimum!

HCEO_Jax says:
::looks curiously upon the newcomer::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::takes a few steps closer to Sam... just in case of surprises::

HTO_Marr says:
::stares at Iu::

Host HXO_Skye says:
*HOPS*: Let me see if an escort is needed.  Unfortunately we've had to have one.

Host Iu says:
Thelsh: The world is a magical place, especially near the mountain.  The mountain knows these people, she knows them well.

HEO_Davidson says:
::notice the new comer and steps forward a bit::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::eyes the odd newcomer a little strangely and really wishes Sam would step back a bit::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@CSO:   You think?  ::Looks down at her panel::  Deployment shouldn't take that long.  Making the fine adjustments... that will take awhile.  But we should be able to do that tomorrow.

Host HXO_Skye says:
CO: Two more of my crew would like to beam down to look around the station.  Would this be a problem?

Host Iu says:
All: Well are you going to get in? ::gestures to the lift::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::wonders why the ACO is so nervous to have the newcomer meet the Hayden crew...  he seems strange to her, but harmless nonetheless::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Not at all Commander.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Sensing Keely's nervousness....even though she doesn't feel any danger....still takes a couple of steps back.::

Host HXO_Skye says:
*HOPS*: You are cleared to beam down.....

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: Well according to the specs we were given,  18 hours at the least.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@*XO*: Thank you.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::gives Sam a small smile and proceeds towards the lift::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::heads into the lift::

HEO_Davidson says:
::follows the CNS::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Nods and breaks a small smile at the CNS....then falling more into the center of the group continues into the lift.::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Iu here is what is locally known as a Haispoi.  They are religious farmers from these mountains.

HTO_Marr says:
::enters the lift last and stands facing the interior, trying not to take up too much room::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Lift: Level 10

Host Iu says:
Thelsh: And you are a blue-skinned matriarch from the stars.  The Haispoi are the children of the mountain, we sing to her and she talks to us.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Currently there are 60 J'H warriors.. ::Iu: Not NOW!

HCMO_Bishop says:
::mutters to herself:: Singing aliens and a talking mountain... can this get any more fascinating?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::looks at this lu guy like he's nuts::

HTO_Marr says:
::wonders if he's on some sort of mind-altering substance::

HCNS_Cutter says:
CMO: I dunno. We could ask the blue skinned matriarch. <w>

Host HXO_Skye says:
::At least it's not Jax spouting off this time.::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: As I was saying, we currently house 60 J'H warriors, 15 of which are actual females, who were created here in the Alpha Quad.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  That is odd...  Why so long?  It should take us no more then 3 hours at the most.  Setting up the rest may take the other 15 hours.  And we have clearance to go down when we are ready.  I am not working another 18 hours, especially as our shift is technically over in two hours.

HCTO_Kordus says:
::can tell from Thelsh's voice that she's really upset... wonders why, Iu wasn't a danger to anyone, just mildly confusing::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: We also have 115 Klingon warriors stationed here, under the command of Gen. Ranuck.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@CSO:  Ready to deploy the first satellite.  ::Brings the ship to a stop for more accuracy.::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::grins at that statement, thinking that they would be fun to play with::

HCMO_Bishop says:
CNS: I don't know about you.... but if he talks about rocks dancing too.... I'm heading back to the ship

HEO_Davidson says:
::listens to Thelsh:: A-CO:And they all work together?

Host Iu says:
::Looks at Skye::  Skye: You are with child.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Just what we need 60 Jem'Hadar and 115 Klingons.::

HTO_Marr says:
::does the math and likes his odds::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::makes sure Sam is behind her::

Host HXO_Skye says:
Iu: Kinda hard to miss, isn't it?

HCEO_Jax says:
ACO: Absolutely fascinating Captain...you must have your hands full keeping things running.  Such volitile species in such tight confinement.  An amazing opportunity for study.  ::grins::

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: The connections are very precise.  The types of data being transmitted require fine tolerances.  It isn't glamorous work, but it needs doing.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Wonders why Keely is feeling so protective.::

HCNS_Cutter says:
CMO: I'm thinking we should have stayed on the darn ship <w>

HEO_Davidson says:
::stands a little closer to Commander Skye::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::rolls her eyes, thinking "he's at it again"::

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: Launching now.  ::launches the satellite::

Host Iu says:
Skye: Miss?  You mean you don't usually look like this?

HTO_Marr says:
::looks at the HCEO::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@*XO*:  Ma'am.  It will take us 3 hours to complete deployment of the satellites and placing them in the exact location.  We will finish the coordination with their computer grid and the main satellite tomorrow.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Almost chokes on her air.:: Iu: No....I'm usually a tad skinnier.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::bites back a giggle::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::in her usual thick British accent:: CNS: I'm game if you are.....::gently tugs at her arm::... C'mon.... no one'll notice...

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Lift rumbles along down the tower of the station, rolls her eyes at Iu.::

Host Iu says:
Skye: The mountain will watch over your child in all things.

Host HXO_Skye says:
*HOPS*: Understood.  Thank you, Coreena.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::snorts:: CMO: I may be short but  not THAT short.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::his brow wrinkles a bit as he notices the satellite is slightly off course.  Adjusts::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@ ::Shakes heads::  HCSO: Why you humanoids insist on making things more difficult, I do not understand.

Host HXO_Skye says:
Iu: Um......well....Thanks, I think.....

HEO_Davidson says:
::listens to Thelsh:: A-CO: And they all work together? The JH and Klingon and Federation?

HTO_Marr says:
::wonders what the mountain can do that Hayden security can't...::

Host Klordy says:
Action: a small quantum quiver is picked up on the planet in the vicinity of some active volcanoes. A single light begins to blink on the Science control panel.

Host Iu says:
All: The Mountain also weeps for your lost comrade who was sacrificed to fire.  ::Immediately steps out of the lift as it opens and is gone::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::the blink catches his eye::  HOPS: Well now, that is odd.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  Odd?

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Leavon> HTO: So Ensign, have you served long on the mighty Intrepid-class Hayden?

HCTO_Kordus says:
::her eyebrows shoot up... she knows from the reports she read that Iu must be referring to Brynn, but has no clue how he had access to them, or even would have thought to look...::

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO:He's a weird fellow

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HEO: Yes he is... and he gets even better once he knows you

HTO_Marr says:
Leavon: No.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::stiffens even further and has to remind herself to take a deep breath::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Looks after Iu....he was talking about Brynn.....::

HCMO_Bishop says:
CNS: Like I said... no one will notice.... we'll slip off to the side

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: I'm picking up a quantum signal.  Looks to be coming from a mountain range.  ::relaxes:: Ah, it must be volcanic.  It could just be slight seismic activity.  Probably nothing to worry about.  ::keeps his eye on it none the less::

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO:No offence Captain...I don't think I want to.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  Should I inform the captain and XO?

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Antennea twitch at Davidson:: HEO: I understand.  This way if you would...

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: No, it looks to be normal planetary activity.  If it elevates we will notify them.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::nods::

HEO_Davidson says:
::follows Captain Thelsh::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Follows after the CO, hoping the tour comes to an abrupt end.::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  Ready for the next set of coordinates?

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::leads the staff to the Captain's Mess on deck 10, the table all laid out with plates and silverware::

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: Okay, that looks good.  Move us to the next location and I'll finish confirming the connection.

HCNS_Cutter says:
CMO: Only if we drag Sam with us...

HCMO_Bishop says:
::sniffs the air:: CNS: Oh wait now.... I smell dinner..... take a raincheck?

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::nods and puts the ship in motion::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Thank goodness!  Looks around for the restroom.::

Host Iu says:
::Steps up behind the Counselor and whispers in her ear::  Cutter:  He's not the one.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: If you would find a seat, Syarta has arranged a wonderful meal.

Host Iu says:
::And then is gone::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::jumps and lets out a scream::

HEO_Davidson says:
::turns around:: HCNS: You all right?

HCMO_Bishop says:
::whirls around to look at the CNS:: CNS: What? Are you alright?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::grabs her chest in fright::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Gives a start at the scream, looks inquiringly at Cutter::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::wonders what has the CNS so jumpy::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Turns around to stare at Keely.....Waddles over quickly and takes her arm:: CNS: What's wrong?

Host Syarta says:
::Immediately takes charge of his aides who have been preparing the room and meal and gets everything laid out and dismisses the aides::

HCMO_Bishop says:
CNS: Keely? What happened?

HTO_Marr says:
::snaps to the CNS and looks around threateningly::

HCEO_Jax says:
::turns abruptly at the CNS's noise::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@CSO:  Coming up on next set of coordinates. ::Glances at her screen and brings the ship to a stop.::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::looks around for that strange little man again and doesn't see him::   All: Sorry.. ::grinds her teeth, her heart beating a mile a minute::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon> HTO: Your counselor seems a bit edgy...

HCMO_Bishop says:
:;eyes Keely as the smell of food makes her stomach growl::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Whispers:: CNS: What was it, Keely....I can tell how whatever it was terrified you.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::nods, continuing to work::  HOPS: So, we still haven't asked the Captain yet if he will perform our marriage.  Is that what you want?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::weak smile at sam:: XO: that mountain guy is all...

HTO_Marr says:
Laevon: The recent loss of several senior officers has left the crew... attentive.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Please be seated... If you need anything, ask?

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Nods and rubs the CNS's back for a moment to try and calm her.::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Frowns slightly::  CSO:  I do not know what I want.  I have nothing to experience to base any suggestion on.

HEO_Davidson says:
::goes and takes a seat::HCEO:I take it you will want a full status report on Engineering soon Commander?

Host HXO_Skye says:
@::Heads over for a nearby seat.::

HCEO_Jax says:
::takes a seat and smiles at the assortment of food laid before them::  Much better than rations out on the border...

HCNS_Cutter says:
::goes and sits down, wondering what that mystic had meant::

Host Syarta says:
<Yokati'Clon>  ::Stands near the door, on guard, her White vial methodically pumping the drug in through her neck::

HCSO_Lys says:
@::his head still buried in his console:: HOPS: Well, look at it this way.  Would you want someone we know to do it, or someone we have never met and who doesn't know us?

HCMO_Bishop says:
::follows the CNS:: CNS: Mind if I sit next to you?

HCTO_Kordus says:
::under her breath in response to Jax's comment:: Self: hello Captain Obvious....

HTO_Marr says:
::sits down, back to a wall and close to the CTO::

HCEO_Jax says:
::turns at the voice::  HEO: Ah, and you must be Lieutenant Davidson, I've heard good things about you.  I'm not one for reports, I'm sure I'll make my way down there and look things over in the next day or so.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  Why would we want a stranger?

HCEO_Jax says:
HEO: It has been quite hectic lately.  A pleasure to meet you of course.

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: My point exactly.  So the Captain it is.

Host Syarta says:
SCENE: There is a huge buffet of Haisian delicacies as well as some Federation dishes, courtesy of the replicator.

HCNS_Cutter says:
CMO: Be my guest... ::fake smile::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Looks around noting the location of all her crew.::

HTO_Marr says:
::throws another nod at the HXO::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HTO: Ahhh, Brynn Michaels and Ashlyn Kostandinos.... Did you know that Michaels served with the captain when they were both on the Quirinus?  And poor Adrienne... she is now motherless... how sad.

HEO_Davidson says:
::nods::HCEO:The whole engineering team is looking forward to meeting you sir.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Nods::  HCSO:  Next satellite ready for deployment.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Is particularly impressed with the vigilance of the TO....makes a mental not of it.::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::keeps her head down, troubled by the comment.  What did he mean "He's not the one"?::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::seats herself slowly, easily reading the fake smile:: CNS: Are you sure you're okay? That guy gave you quite the start

HCSO_Lys says:
@::checks the data relays so far, the tests look good so..::  HOPS: Launching.  With each one we launch, the configuration will take a bit longer.

HTO_Marr says:
Laevon:: I believe that Kostandinos took the child with her. Otherwise, one can always mourn the loss of crewmates. But the duty continues so one should not spare too much time on it. It is merely part of life.

HCEO_Jax says:
HEO: Ahh yes.  From what I hear it's a much larger crew than I'm used to as well.

HOPS_Coreena says:
@ HCSO:  I could make it shorter... I know, I know, you want to do it the harder way.  When is your sister going to come?

HCNS_Cutter says:
::picks at the food:: CMO: I"m fine.  Just startled me is all.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Leavon>HTO: How poetic.  Does Starfleet teach you to spout such pretties?

HEO_Davidson says:
@HCEO:That it is sir. I....well you sir...have a good crew to work with

HCMO_Bishop says:
::looks at the vast arrays of food before her.... she's hungry... but the sight of some of it doesn't do much for her::

HCTO_Kordus says:
::raises an eyebrow at Laevon and his comment::

HTO_Marr says:
Laevon: No, I learned that one from your mother.

HCEO_Jax says:
::samples a bit of everything within his reach::  HEO: Oh, I'm quite sure of that.

HCSO_Lys says:
@HOPS: Faster isn't always better.   ::smiles::  She is taking a shuttle to pick up our parents and they are set to rendezvous with us in ::thinks:: 8 days actually.

Host Klordy says:
Action: the XO's already weakened stomach begins turning summersaults

HCMO_Bishop says:
::settles into helping herself to some salad and what appears to be a hamburger::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Laevon> How interesting... That must be what is taught at the supreme SF Academy::turns his back to Marr::

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Rubs her stomach trying to quiet it down....then decides a quick trip to the ladies room may be in order.....heads in the direction of the nearest bathroom.::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  If it is accurate, I fail to understand what the difference is.  ::Inputs the next set of coordinates::  As soon as you have it locked, we are set.

HEO_Davidson says:
::takes a small helping of something that looks like Hasprat and some kind of drink::

Host Syarta says:
<Yokati'Clon> Marr: Vorta do not have parents, just donors.

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Leavon: That is enough, Second.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::watches Sam dart off:: CMO: You following her or am I?

HOPS_Coreena says:
@::Turns as the number sinks in::  HCSO:  8 Days?

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Leavon>A-CO : But of course captain.

HCSO_Lys says:
@::looks at his love, wonder where the sudden stubborn streak came from.  Perhaps she has been spending too much time with Katie::  Yes, 8 days.  They wanted to get here early so they would have time to spend with us before.

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO: When could that tour of your Engineering Area be arranged Captain?

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Let me invite you to sample a bit of everything.  The Haisians are delightful cooks.

Host HXO_Skye says:
::Steps outside looking for the nearest restroom....einee meinee miney moe.....goes left.::

HCMO_Bishop says:
::looks at the XO and then to the CNS:: CNS: You can do it the next time.... I think it's just a pee break though...::grins:: been there... done it....::heads after the XO::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::pushes away from the table and follows the XO::

HTO_Marr says:
::throws a quick 'ok, whatever, thanks' glance at Yokati'Clon and stares at the Vorta::

HCNS_Cutter says:
::stops::  CMO: If you say so...

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
HEO: I will have the Chief come and find you

HEO_Davidson says:
A-CO:THanky you captain.

HCNS_Cutter says:
::sits back down, still unsettled.  Did that guy mean that Jason really wasn't the one for her?::

Host A-CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::finishes her plate, and watches as they all go about eating::

Host Syarta says:
::Smiles cheerily, at least that's how it looks, at all the interplay between the officers in the room, hoping that Ranuck doesn't stop by and ruin it all::

HOPS_Coreena says:
@HCSO:  I hope they... like me.  And your mother will be able to help you better too... have you told her?

Host Klordy says:
Action: as the XO finally finds the room and pulls on the door she finds it is locked

Host Syarta says:
