Avalon Commander says:
 Septimum: I do have some paper work for you.  Right this way, please.
FCO_Harlok says:
::Smiles wickedly:: XO: Get the old juices flowing. A little Non-hazardous exitement?
Host Septimum says:
:: steps towards the desk and begins signing the agreements::
XO_Silek says:
:: raises eyebrow :: FCO: Poker ? I believe that is a game of sorts is it not ? I have noticed that this game would be adequate in training young Vulcan children in emotional control.
Host CO_Taylor says:
::waits for the Ambassador to proceed and smiles broadly, clearly pleased at having welcomed a new race to Federation contact::
CSO_Ray says:
XO: I have the data ready for the presintation to the Federation Science Council, the captain wanted to call a briefing with the station personel

SEPT:  It has been a pleasure, Ambassador.  If there is anything you need I can provide, do not hesitate to ask.
Host Septimum says:
:: Heads towards the door:: Avalon Commander: Oh! Commander. has your Security been informed of my presence?
FCO_Harlok says:
::Eyes Silek and fights the urge to clock him to see if it really will be done in 10.56::
Avalon Commander says:
 Septimum: they have been informed, unfortunately, you may experience some, shall we say, strange looks.
Host CO_Taylor says:
::turns at the statement:: AvComm:  A good question.  Would it be wiser to have the Ambassador stay on the Ganymede if they need to be briefed?
Avalon Commander says:
 Septimum: I do apologize in advance.
FCO_Harlok says:
::Turns and calls up Avalon's events schedule::
Host Septimum says:
CO: Capt. Thank you again. Avalon Commander: I'm quite sure of that. Thank you for your concern
XO_Silek says:
:: references the roster on his PADD and begins the schedule ::
Avalon Commander says:
 Septimum/CO: Again Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure.
Host Septimum says:
:: Leaves the commanders office and heads to quarters::
Host CO_Taylor says:
SEPT:  Again, it has been a pleasure ::leaves the Ambassador with the Commander::
Avalon Commander says:
:: Rises and walks to the door with the CO and septimum ::
Host CO_Taylor says:
::taps communicator::  *TR1*:  I'm all finished here.  One to beam up.

Action: the CO returns to the ship

XO_Silek says:
:: looks around the bridge :: ALL: The bridge crew is now authorized Shore Leave.
Host CO_Taylor says:
TR Chief:  Thank you, Chief.  As you were.  Could you see to the disposition of the Ambassador's belongings?
OPS_Serok says:
:: waits until the last of the crew leaves the bridge before leaving ::
TR Chief says:
 CO:  Aye, Captain.  Not a bad lad for a Borg.
XO_Silek says:
:: continues with the rest of the crew's shore leave schedule ::
Host CO_Taylor says:
TR Chief:  an Ossarran now, Chief.  We need to remember that.
OPS_Serok says:
XO: Commander, I am going to our quarters.  I will await you there.
CSO_Ray says:
:: heads towards quarters with several PADDs in his hands::
XO_Silek says:
:: nods :: OPS: I shall see you then.
TR Chief says:
 CO:  Aye, sir...it's just really ... strange.  Him all un-assimilated and all.
OPS_Serok says:
:: nods and heads to the turbo lift ::
FCO_Harlok says:
::Plays with his hairbeads as he continues to skim the Avalon event schedule:: XO: Sir... are we required to attend the Ossarran Ambassadore reception?
Host CO_Taylor says:
TR Chief:  Indeed.  It will take some getting use to.  Later, Chief.  ::walks out after clapping a friendly hand on TR Chief's shoulder and smiling::
XO_Silek says:
FCO: No Mr Harlok, it is not required. However it is a function that may prove intersting from a cultural propestive.
Host CO_Taylor says:
::stops at a hall comm panel::  Computer:  Locate Sarah Taylor.
OPS_Serok says:
:: steps off the turbo lift and heads toward her quarters ::
XO_Silek says:
:: finishes the shore leave schedule in 10.53 minutes ... 3 minutes early ::
Computer says:
  CO: Sarah Taylor is not onboard.
OPS_Serok says:
:: arives at the door and it swishes open and a small hair ball goes racing down the corridor ::
Host CO_Taylor says:
::remembers his wife was going...what was it called...ah yes...shopping::
FCO_Harlok says:
::Grimices:: XO: Thanks Sir... but I was thinking of this free-form martial arts tourney scheduled... or maybe some constructive mischief in Avalons promenade.
OPS_Serok says:
T`sai:  Come back here.  :: Suvok goes chasing after the cat ::
OPS_Serok says:
:: the cat gets in the turbo lift and the door closes before Suvok can catch it ::
XO_Silek says:
FCO: It is of course your choice My Harlok. I believe the correct venacular is .. "Have a good time."
OPS_Serok says:
:: the turbo lift opens and Suvok finds where it went....the bridge, she shakes her head  ::
Host CO_Taylor says:
::strides into TL::
FCO_Harlok says:
::Stands and stretches:: XO: Oh well I'll find something. I always do! Permission to leave Sir.
XO_Silek says:
FCO: Granted Mr Harlok.
Host CO_Taylor says:
Computer:  Bridge.
Host CO_Taylor says:
::walks out of TL onto Bridge::
OPS_Serok says:
:: the turbo lift opens on the bridge and a small fur ball comes out ::
XO_Silek says:
:: hears the turbolift doors open and sees no one inside ::
Host CO_Taylor says:
::sees the flying furball::  ALL:  What...?
CSO_Ray says:
:: heads towards the mooring from the Ganymede to the station::
OPS_Serok says:
:: seconds later Suvok emerges from the turbo lift looking around ::
XO_Silek says:
:: frowns ::
FCO_Harlok says:
::Looks as the TL doors open and something small hurtles out past the Captain's legs:: Self: Eh?
XO_Silek says:
OPS: Commander ?
XO_Silek says:
:: hears a Meow and looks down ::
OPS_Serok says:
XO: Have you seen T`sai?

Action: the cat jumps up onto the OPS console and walks over several buttons causing alarms to sound

Host CO_Taylor says:
XO:  ::remembers his zoology and identifies the furball::  Mister Silek, I believe you are the ...owner... of this Felis domesticus loose on my bridge?
OPS_Serok says:
:: bounds to the console ::
FCO_Harlok says:
::Looks in horror at the Cat and grab it off the OPS console:: ACK!!

    Action: The cat claws Harlok.
