Summary:
The USS Andromeda has received a number of answers - and possibly a few more questions. However, after a period of time to absorb and process all the new information, the senior staff is about to be called back to the Admiral's briefing room.

~"~"~"~"~"~Begin USS Andromeda: "And All the Stars Fall"  Mission 3 - Stardate 11211.10~"~"~"~"~"~

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::arrives back in the briefing room upon walking around to stretch his legs::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Makes a few more notes on his PADD before tucking it back into his dress uniform.::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::still outside the briefing room, watching some of the others file back in to the room::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Settles back into his seat at the briefing table, having refilled his cup of coffee::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters the room, still reading the PADD with the information he missed from the meeting before the break, spots the CO and heads over:: CO: Did I miss much?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks over and takes his seat next to the Admiral::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::strolls down the corridor towards the briefing room::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::once again having returned to the briefing room early, she gathers a chilled glass of water from the replicator and resumes her seat at the foot of the table.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS: All the information you need is on the PADD in front of you on the table.  ::smiles::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Still inside the "snack break room," taking a moment to straighten a few things, before she picks up a case from beneath a table, and starts out of the break room and into the corridor::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches Light advance from one room to the other::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins, puts his coffee down and places his PADD next to it.:: CO: Aye, sir. Then I'm up to date with things. ::takes his habitual seat near the Captain::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Finishes through the security then enters the briefing room and takes a seat.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::grabs a drink from the table and takes a seat beside the CO::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::quickly scans through the PADD in front of him::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::trails behind Light, eventually making his way towards his previous seat::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Glances once, oddly, at Davis, before continuing into the briefing room and standing in the same corner she had before::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  Looks like everyone has returned.  ::Takes a drink of his coffee::  Does anyone have any questions outstanding?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: I believe my CMO will be arriving shortly.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
RAdm: Can we see the tech specs on the Chalak sensor jammers? I can think of a few potential situations where it may come in handy,.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO: You on your way Sierra?~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
::Tempted to rub her brow, she pauses at the entrance to the briefing room to be checked before entering.  With a brief nod, she enters, taking a quick look around to note who was there and where.::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
XO:  Unfortunately, no.  There's a Chalak overseer here to supervise the technology;  they don't let us look into the inner workings of the devices.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow at her husband and without saying anything other than giving a nod of general greeting, she takes a seat.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks toward Sierra as she enters::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::leans back in his chair, folds his hands in his lap, and waits patiently for this to begin, happen, and end::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Settled next to the counselor, she turns to look at the Admiral.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Admiral, what role is it that the Andromeda is to play in all this?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Have our current orders been rescinded?
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Sits back in his chair::  CO:  For the foreseeable future, the Andromeda will serve as the flagship for this sector, and our line of primary diplomatic outreach.  Deep Space Five was previously a temporary stop until Deep Space Seventeen had been completed...
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CO:  ...but as we've discussed, those plans are no longer in the cards.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at the CMO and pays attention to what the others are saying::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Observes the senior staff quietly::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Understood.  So will we be receiving new orders soon?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Not wanting to deter anyone’s from the current business, she would let Ethan know later how things went.  That and she had not had much time to be filled in on what exactly was going on other than a brief synopsis she had pulled from his mind.::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Smiles::  CO:  You'll be receiving new orders... ::Presses a button to bring up the holographic table display, which shows their present location, then a system about ten light-years coreward::  Now.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods and leans forward to view the display::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Sits up, striking a more official bearing, and folding his hands before his tabletop console::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
ADM: Sir.  With the situation the Andromeda found between the Chalak and the Agtak is it wise to trust them?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::shifts in his chair slightly to get a better look at the CEO::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CEO:  Ensign, if you have further questions about the Chalak-Agtak situation, you can take them up with the Federation Council.  I've already voiced my concerns, which appear to be similar to yours.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CEO:  Let it suffice to say...we are monitoring the situation.  ::Looks none too pleased, but whether it's about McQuade's interruption or the Agtak-Chalak situation itself is undeterminable::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
ADM: Noted sir.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::watches the crew silently for now::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
ADM: Another question.  On a more stable topic.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CEO:  Of course.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Shifts slightly in his chair while pulling out his PADD.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
ADM: From what I've gathered we are one ship on the edge of Federation space.  While we have a station as defense it seems like a large burden for one vessel to undertake.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::leans back in his chair and swivels it slightly to face Tavish::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
ADM:  What are the long range plans to bring in more vessels into this area and make it known of our presence here.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
ADM:  It’s not going to be long before freighters, alien merchants find this and begin to want to sell their wares.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns slightly towards McQuade, wondering where an ensign interrupts an Admiral...twice, then realizes it's -here-::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Shifts again.::  ADM:  Secret bases tend to not stay that way for long.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::listens to the conversation::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CEO:  Our long-range plans are to do so with delicacy.  Moving a great many assets into the area at once might be disconcerting to other powers in the area, and that's not our goal.  As for specifics...fleet movement plans are on a need-to-know basis, and Ensigns aboard my flagship do not need to know.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CEO:  If you have further questions on the topic, please submit them in writing.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Looks around the table, making eye contact with each, just to be sure he's clear that the discussion has ended::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::smirks at the Admiral's put down::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CEO: Thank you sir.  ::Tucks the PADD into his uniform.::  Self: It’s as bad as you thought old boy.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  Any other questions before we proceed with your mission briefing?  I value your time, and I don't want to spend any longer than we need spend.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
RAdm: I think we'll hold on to any remaining questions until the end.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow at the Admirals comment about their CEO.  Ensign or not, he was in charge of the ship running safely and in her mind, that was rather important.::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
XO:  Very good, Commander.  Let's proceed.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shifts back ever so slightly, already fed up with briefings and talks and dress uniforms::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::wanting to stand up for his CEO::  ADM: It's a bit difficult to ask questions when my crew is not sure what they can or cannot ask.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::folds her hands in her lap and leans back.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: irreverently::  ~~~~CNS: Maybe we should promote him temporarily to Commander so he can ask relevant questions.~~~~
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Please Admiral, proceed.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Hesitates, his momentum halted again::  CO:  The crew is free to ask anything they like;  I am not necessarily at liberty to provide answers in all cases.  I appreciate Mister McQuade's dedication to his tasks.  ::Nods once toward him::  But we are on a timetable.  You have some business to conduct today, as well.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Understood Admiral.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  Federation anthropologists and Starfleet officers are presently sitting in on a duckblind investigation in this, the Zeta Ophiuchi system.  ::Refers to the holographic display before them::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Zooms further in to the system itself::  All:  The system houses one inhabited planet, Caredonii II, which is a class-M world housing a population of around two billion.  The Federation Council is interested in the planet for several reasons.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  The first is that, at the present rate of development of the people of Caredonii II,  we've estimated that barring international conflicts, one of the powers on the world will have achieved warp travel by 2460, moving at a rather rapid rate from their present level of technology.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::eyes the display, quietly hoping that they will have the opportunity to get to the task, as opposed to asking 500 questions and then being assigned to clean a toilet instead::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  The second is that the first survey team to visit the planet discovered large deposits of critical rare earth materials, including lithium.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  They're sitting on a lot of valuable resources that they don't even know about…and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security is concerned that other powers with fewer scruples than we've got will try to interfere with the world's development for that reason.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  As a consequence, the duckblind team's primary mission is monitoring to ensure that no unusual occurrences place the Caredoniians ahead of their projected path.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Self:  Duckblind.    You would think Starfleet would have learned by now.  ::Shakes his head slightly as he watches the display.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hides a smile::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::has a bad feeling about this::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  Now, there are three major power blocs on the planet.  ::Brings up a map showing the geopolitical structure of the planet::  There is the Touk, a large conglomerate of states that have been, to some extent, strong-armed by the largest of its states, the Touk Primacy, to live under one banner.  ::Highlights it on the map::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  There is also the Bruschet Union, a mostly peaceful alliance of maritime states of slightly lesser size.   ::Also highlights it::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  The third major power is the Mirrum Confederacy, a single country that occupies a large portion of this eastern continent.  ::Shows it on the map::  There are other countries in the area, who, in comparison, are not very technologically advanced.  The duckblind is actually located in one such country…
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Zooms in on a country adjacent Mirrum, and begins to display a slideshow of pictures from the area::  All:  …This is a Mirrum military base in the neighboring country of Faust.  Faust is significantly underdeveloped in comparison, and it is a suitable arrangement for both countries.  It's also nearby to some mountains that house our duckblind.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Displays the cliff face in which the duckblind is housed, which sits at a long distance from the base::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Wonders why Starfleet and the Federation have decided to just throw out their rules and play in other peoples politics.  This doesn’t seem like diplomacy...::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  The present team in the duckblind has been in place for some time.  We don't have much spare personnel in this area to go around, and since the Andromeda will be away for routine refit, Starfleet Command has appointed her senior staff as the relief observers.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks once:: ~~~CMO: We're going to be watching people?~~~
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  The Champion, a Defiant-class assigned to sector patrol duty, will ferry you to the system and drop you off, then return once the Andromeda's temporary replacement has arrived.  The duration is expected to be about three weeks.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Rubs his head.::  Self:  Leave me ship to some other engineering team?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::looks up at the Admiral on hearing the news::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
~~~CO: Sitting in a box for three weeks, a truly valuable use of our time~~~
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  There is little lead time -- you'll need to prepare whatever you need and be ready to leave in a little less than six hours.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CNS:  I was trained to do so and so where you.  However, this is not quite what one would normally use a senior staff for.  There must be something more to this.~~~~
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at Conor and shrugs::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  You'll be further briefed about the present situation by the on-site personnel when you arrive, but I have all the intelligence to hand, and can answer any questions you have, though our time is somewhat limited.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: Well, if nothing else, I'll get some research material out of this. But you're right, there is more going on than meets the eye.~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks toward her husband::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
RAdm: And if we find people tampering with their current society...?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CO: Ask him what he's not telling us. There has to be more to this than just "you're available and we're shorthanded.~~~
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Admiral, just what are we supposed to be doing during our "time" there?
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
XO:  Then we're going to have to engage in some counter-espionage, or at least determine the intent of the interfering race.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stifles a sigh and tries very hard to remain passive::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CO:  Learning more about the people of the planet, their technological development, their culture and other habits.  The mission profile is largely anthropological in nature.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::makes a few notes and nods to the Admiral::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::makes a mental note that she gives the crew one week before they've blown the duckblind's cover and are engaged in some kind of civil war or resistance movement::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  I don't need to tell you that, as a pre-warp society, they are fully protected under the Prime Directive.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
RAdm: So we got directed to a uncompleted Starbase for a ship refit while also meaning to serve as the primary protection force of this base and the ship's crew is being shipped off to sit in a duckblind for three weeks? You'll have to excuse the cynicism but something doesn't add up here.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~CNS:  It would appear I need to dust off my anthro background.  It has been awhile since I did any pure anthropological work.~~~~
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
XO:  No...the Defiants we have stationed in the sector are our primary defense.  The Andromeda, as previously stated, is intended to be our diplomatic arm in the sector.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the XO and raises an eyebrow, then edits the time down in her head, down to less than an hour, if not before they leave the station.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: I'll have to do that too.~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leaving her children behind so soon did not appeal to her at all, if it ever did.  Thankfully they had Aaron or she did not think she would be able to do it.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
RAdm: But yet we have the Vroa threat nearby and they almost took out DS3 in the process, I don't think a few Defiant class ships are going to put up much a fight. We should be working on bringing the fight to the Vroa, not watching some pre-warp society.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finally loses his patience--what little of it he had::  XO: Commander, you must have a considerable amount of gall to be telling a flag officer what orders he should be assigning you.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Raises a breath to speak, then is rather astonished to have Commander Davis step in, and hopes that the situation doesn't rapidly deteriorate::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::glances quickly at SOPS::  SOPS: As you were Commander.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CO/XO/SOPS:  Gentlemen.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::edits the time down to 'before we leave the meeting' subtly she moves her chair back from the table to allow her a quicker escape from the room if it degenerates into a brawl::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  Let me remind you that this is a briefing, and I expect all due decorum to be deserved.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sits back, wishing had some popcorn::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
All:  I do not make the orders.  I am a flag officer, but I have very little influence where the directives of the Federation Council and Starfleet Command are concerned.  If you have issues with the way we're doing things, I suggest you find yourself a place in Starfleet in which you will be able to influence them more directly.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::leans back again, his expression having hardly changed the entire time, though the tension was no doubt noticeable in his voice::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Glances at Ivara and back and the males in their group.::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Sternly, but calm::  All:  I can make that happen, if there's somewhere else you'd rather be.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Coughs slightly, her weight having shifted forward at the tense moment as if to move, but as things sort of cool, she thinks the better of it, and rests back into her place::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ADM: Please Admiral.....this is no time for any threats.  My crew is understandably concerned....and rightly so.
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
CO:  Not a threat, Captain.  An offer.  If this isn't going to work, I can find someplace where your crew will be happier.  In the meantime...you have your orders.  ::Rises from his chair::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: considers this will not work well if questions and concerns are not allowed to be voiced as the captain just pointed out.::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
Attaché:  Commander, please answer any further questions the crew may have.  ::Makes his way around the table, scooping up his PADD and heading toward the exit::
Host SC_RAdm_Kensington says:
::Exits, disappearing as the doors close::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::shakes his head at the Admirals statement::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: looks at Varesh::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Clears her throat again, somewhat uncomfortably::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CO:  What are we missing here?~~~~
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Takes a step forward, almost hesitantly, then moves again, to stand where the Admiral had been seated.  She sets the briefcase upon the tabletop and snaps it open, the case's lid obscuring the contents to all but Captain Knight::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns toward Commander Light with a lifted brow.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns and shakes his head::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::wonders if she's going to start pushing papers, literally, in front of them::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All:  Okay, okay.....I know we still have a lot of questions and that everyone is not comfortable with this, myself included.  But, we have our orders and we will follow them.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All:  I'd like to move on with a bit of more happier news if I may, before we are dismissed.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: She knew following orders was not the crews concern but how it was being handled or there was something that was being left out.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks around the table::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the Captain::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Still watching Commander Light::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::raises an eyebrow::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO/CNS/CMO/CEO/CSO: I'd like to do this as a group for you.......So, with that said and for the consistent recovery of abducted Federation citizens, it is my privilege to award each of you with the Starfleet Meritorious Service Medal.  Congratulations to you all!
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::thinks about the crew's ability to 'follow orders' in the past and sighs as the captain talks about some award or other.  Coolly she replies. :: CO: Indeed sir.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow.  Rescuing her children was never in question.  She simply nodded.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Thank you sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::there was never any question in finding the children and smiles his thanks:: CO: Thank you, sir.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looks up at the Captain a bit surprised considering all the....  Issues he has caused.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks over to Light::  XO: Please stand Conor.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::Stands up at attention::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: For your dedication to duty, it is indeed my honor to promote you to the full rank of Commander, with all the rights and privileges therein.  ::attaches pip to his collar::  Congratulations Conor!
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::nods and smiles at the CO:: CO: Thank you sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Congratulations, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::grins at Conor::  XO: You've really earned this Conor.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO: Congratulations Commander.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Adds her congratulations::
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: Thanks.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Ensign, please stand.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Stands at attention from the table.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks over to Tavish::  CEO: For your dedication to duty, it is my honor to promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, with all the rights and privileges therein.  ::attaches pip to his collar::  Congratulations Tavish.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Nods a bit shocked.::  CO:  Thank you sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: Congratulations, Lt.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Ensign, please stand.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Again adds her congratulations.::
CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Takes his seat.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Captain then stands smoothly::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: For you dedication to duty, it is my honor to promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, with all the rights and privileges therein.  ::attaches pip to her collar::  Congratulations Ivara.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Congratulations, Lt.
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS/CEO: Guess you can ask the Admiral some more questions now.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All: Everyone, please join me in congratulating these three fine individuals.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Clears her throat a third time:: CO: If I may, Captain...?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::nods wordlessly to the captain not that she was expecting that, but she just didn't much care about it, except for the extra computer access::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Light: Of course.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns right towards Light::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::resumes her seat::
CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
CSO: Congratulations.  XO:  Didn't seem to help you out much Commander.  ::Shoots Conor a grin.::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
CO/All: I have...been authorized by Rear Admiral Kensington to present, on his behalf, to each member of the Andromeda's senior staff...::Turns formally to Davis and nods, almost apologetically:: - yourself excluded, Commander -
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Turns back to the front::CO/All: ...the Admiral's Letter of Commendation for exemplary dedication in the recovery of Federation citizens. This will be noted favorably within your files.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Nods once:: CO: Thank you for your time, Captain.   CO/All: I will be available after dismissal if there are any questions, per the Admiral's orders.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All: Okay, I know we still have a lot of questions, but we do have orders to follow.  So for now, let's make the best of what we have to go by.  You're dismissed!
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All: Congratulations to all of you and keep up the excellent work!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up, takes his cup and PADD:: CO: Since we have about 5 hours to get ready, I have some packing to do.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::remains seated::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods to Varesh::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Quietly:: CO: If I may have a word, Captain...?
XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Pack the happy pills with you.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Light:  Of course.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Standing to move to join with her husband, she pauses and waits.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Your extra-large crate of happy pills will be the first thing I pack.
