Mission Summary:

Host Susan says:
S'lara and Richards, along with the rest of S'lara's team have resumed their mission after S'lara pulled a few tricks to ensure that Richards would be released.  This occurred much to re relief of the crew, yet angered at the way they were tricked.

Host Susan says:
The search party encountered the creature in the tubes.  They discovered the remains of an unidentified Ferengi, and two injured crewmen.  Both crewmen were transported to sickbay where they were treated for their injuries.  The team subdued the creature after two scuffles with it.  LtJG Dee's accurate aim was key to the take down of the creature.

Host Susan says:
After the creature was subdued, the search for the twins continued.  The two children were found hiding in small alcoves within the Jeffries tube and have now been taken to sickbay where they have been checked out and found uninjured save for minor scrapes and bruises.  The two will be held overnight for observation.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Freudian/Veldas:  I have your reports concerning the civilians, but I need your reports on Lieutenant Junior Grade Mrlr, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hoyt, and Commander Danforth before I can make my decision.

CSO_Washudoin says:

CNS_Freudian says:
::Gets up to leave the admiral's office:: CNS Veldas: So who do you want to take first?

CNS_Veldas says:
T'Sar: As you know Starfleet sent us here for fair and just reasoning, But I must be honest I am already someone concerned the Commander's duties due to rank and assignment will not be able to devote the time needed. However, we shall see.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::cuddles Amanda and holds Blake:: Twins: It will be all right...I promise.

CEO_Hoyt says:
*XO*:Repairs are almost complete...were in the green.

::looks up at him and flashes a smile::

Host XO_Danforth says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Chief.  Keep up the good work!

CEO_Hoyt says:
Amanda/Blake: Chocolate and Sprinkles?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::looks down at the twins:: Twins: It's okay....why don't you go get some ice cream.  I'll be right back...honest

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION:  The Arataut begins to thrash inside its cage sending showers of sparks throughout the science lab every time its tail hits the force field.

CNS_Veldas says:
Freudian: I'm not here to judge feelings I am here in the best interest of the youth, and I'm simply being logical the Commander duties make things very difficult...

CEO_Hoyt says:
Blake: She’s got work to do...Mrlr will join us late...right Lieutenant?

Amanda says:
:: looks at the CTO and then at Blake :: CTO:  Promise??

OPS_Hawkes says:

Blake says:
:: looks to Amanda :: Amanda: what do you think. can we trust the CEO.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::smiles:: Twins: I promise. ::looks over at the CIV and nods her head for him to accompany her away from the twins::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
<Receptionist> CO: Yes, Captain, I was expecting you... please, go on in.

CNS_Freudian says:
::Turns her slightly and rolls her eyes vaguely at the Vulcan coldness::  CNS Veldas:  These are children, we won't know until we talk to the officers.

Host XO_Danforth says:
::shakes his head at the OPS comment:: *OPS*: Maybe next time, Commander.  I am on duty.  Anchovies on the mouth wouldn't be appealing.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::walks into the kitchen to supervise the preparations of the live foods.::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Stops as he exits the door hearing the sound of the creature's movement, walks in and stares at the creature flopping about, begins some more scans ::

Amanda says:
Blake:  Ok.   CEO:  You said sprinkles too.

Host XO_Danforth says:
TO: Lt. you have the command.

CNS_Veldas says:
*CEO*: Are you busy with your duties?

OPS_Hawkes says:
::Walks back out in the main hall, to see that the final decorations are being arranged, and the boxes and crates cleared away::

Bargle: Mr. Bargle se if you can settle that thing down! :: Points to some sedatives laying around ::

CNS_Freudian says:
*XO*:  I'll be in the counselor's office waiting.  Looking forward to meeting you.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::takes a seat, see the Admiral's smile:: Adm: The last time I was in this office and it was about some of my crew I received a reprimand.

CEO_Hoyt says:
*CNS*:I am in sickbay...just about to go for some ice cream. You’re more then welcome to join us? ::extends his hands::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::untangles herself from the twins and pushes them towards the CEO/CIV:: Twins: You go....I'll be right back.

CIV_Horn says:
Blake/Amanda: Have you ever seen the inside of a sundae shop?

Blake says:
CIV: No

Host XO_Danforth says:
::heads toward the counselor's office::

CNS_Veldas says:
*CEO*: Who is us ?

EO_Kone says:
*CEO*: Chief I have completed my repairs, do you have anything else for me

OPS_Hawkes says:
::slightly adjusts the drape of one the tablecloths, and steps back to look.::

Amanda says:
:: looks at Blake :: CIV: No

CSO_Washudoin says:
<Barlge> CSO: Yes Sir! :: He grabs the hypo and begins to creep towards the noW living Arataut ::

Host XO_Danforth says:
::arrives at the counselor's office and chimes::

Blake says:
:: looks back to his sister and just smiles softly :: 

CIV_Horn says:
Blake/Amanda: Then you are missing the most delightful ice cream experience ever.

CNS_Freudian says:
::Enters the counselor's office and grabs a PADD, asks the computer to play some Chopin to put the interviewees at ease::  *XO*: Come.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CO: Let me put your mind at ease, no one is in trouble here.  I have several petitions for the adoption of the Coopersmith twins and want to get your input on the members of your crew that have expressed interest.

CEO_Hoyt says:
*EO*:Take a look at possibly putting some sensors in the area where we found the twins...see what needs to be done then get back to me...Hoyt out

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CO: What can you tell me about your XO, Commander Danforth.  What do you think of him as a prospective parent?

EO_Kone says:
*CEO*: Aye sir I will keep you updated

Amanda says:
:: takes the CEO's hand and narrows her eyes at the CIV ::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: He lowers a part of the force field for Ensign Bargle stick his arm in and administer the spray ::

Blake says:
:: looks to Amanda :: I guess it would be okay. What do you think..

CEO_Hoyt says:
::looks at the twins:: Blake/Amanda: Ready?

CIV_Horn says:
CEO: I have a wonderful Sundae shop program for the holodeck.

Host XO_Danforth says:
::enters and sees the CNS:: CNS: Good to meet you.  I'm Chris Danforth.

Amanda says:
Blake:  Ok.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::sees some sort of quartet arrive, though he's never seen the instruments before. He walks over just to make sure the instruments aren't some sort of crazy weapon, then continues to patrol the hall looking for anything out of place. ::

Blake says:
CEO: You have yourself a deal but the CIV comes with us.

Host CO_Claymore says:
Adm: I'm not certain. I tend to stay out of the private lives of my crew unless it interferes with their work.

TO_Dee says:
::runs a long-range sensor swept::

Amanda says:
CEO:  Ok, but remember, you promised sprinkles.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION: The sedative fails and the injection only angers the Arataut, which begins thrashing more.

CNS_Freudian says:
::Extends her hand and shakes the XO's firmly, giving him a warm smile:: XO:  Good to meet you.  Please, have a seat!

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION:  The constant beating on the force field causes to overload and the Arataut breaks loose within the Science lab.

CEO_Hoyt says:
*CNS Veldas*:Blake Amanda and I...were on out way to holodeck 4.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: You will be able to have all the sprinkles you want.

Host XO_Danforth says:
::takes a seat and looks confidently at the CNS:: CNS: Thank you for asking me here.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::steps back and watches the twins settle with the CIV and CEO:: CIV/CEO: Thank you....when they are done call me and I'll take them home. ::waves and grins at the twins:: Twins: Don't eat too much and spoil your dinner.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notice the snake/lizard thing get more angry and thinks how crazy this is ::

CNS_Veldas says:
*CEO*: Fine, I do want to see the children as well.

TO_Dee says:
::sees the alarm go off in science lab and locks the lab off with the back up force fields::

Amanda says:
:: looks up wearily at the CIV ::

CNS_Veldas says:
:: heads for the nearest turbolift to take him to the holodeck ::

EO_Kone says:
:: loads the sensor specifications on to a PADD and heads for the lower levels to begin his assignment ::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Blake: Come on

CIV_Horn says:
CEO: I don’t know about you but I think a banana split is in order.

Amanda says:
:: starts to wave at the CTO :: CTO:  Remember, you promised.

CNS_Freudian says:
XO:  It's my pleasure.  I'm glad to see you're at ease...I have a few questions to fill out my report and I'm sure this interview will go well.

Blake says:
:: walks with the CEO:: Amanda: don't worry about him. if he causes any problems I'll kick the CIV in the shins.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION: The arataut snaps at one of the science officers in the lab and begins gnawing on one of the officer's arms.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: You ready?

Host XO_Danforth says:
CNS: Feel free to ask me anything.

TO_Dee says:
*CO/CTO*: Sirs I have an alarm going off here that says the creature has gotten loose in the lab.  I have raised the backup forces fields.

TO_Dee says:
::orders the duty OPS to transport all person out of that lab::

Host XO_Danforth says:
::sits in the chair, one leg resting on the other knee and with hands folded in his lap::

CTO_Mrlr says:
Amanda: I promise. ::hears Dee and sprints out of sickbay::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION: Proximity alerts sound throughout OPS and a Klingon battle cruiser decloaks off the starboard side of the station.

Amanda says:
:: takes hold of Blake’s hand :: Blake:  Are we ready?

Host CO_Claymore says:
Adm: This seems like a situation where I will be needed.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: You know, I have a little girl.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Grabs his phaser and tosses Bargle one too:: Bargle: Fire at will! :: Opens fire on the Arataut ::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::laughs at Blake's comment:: Computer: Activate Holodeck Program Sundae Shop Earth...circa 1900

Amanda says:
:: watches as the CTO leaves and feels a bit panicked ::

CTO_Mrlr says:
*TO*: I'm on my way.  Are there any personnel in the labs?  If so  transport them out of there immediately

Blake says:
Amanda: as ready as we'll ever be. I guess.

CNS_Veldas says:
:: arrives at the holodeck just as the CEO is entering the program ::

CNS_Freudian says:
::Smiles at his openness::  XO:  First, let's find out why you are interested in adopting the twins...I have to ask pointing out that you are a high ranking officer with many duties.

Amanda says:
:: almost begins to cry :; CIV:  You do?

TO_Dee says:
::hails the cruiser::

Amanda says:
:: hold tightly to Blake’s hand ::

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: Yes, her name is Abigail.

Blake says:
Amanda: oh don't start.. 

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::nods:: CO: I understand.  One last quick question.  If you were to grant custody of the twins to one of your crew, whom would you trust most?

TO_Dee says:
*CO*: Sir I have a Klingon battle cruiser decloaked on the starboard side.

Amanda says:
:: sticks her tongue out at Blake, but doesn't let go of his hand. ::

TO_Dee says:
<Duty OPS> ::transports all the personal out of the lab::

Host XO_Danforth says:
CNS: To be honest, I really think that both the CEO and the CTO are better candidates than myself.  I originally showed interest because of my involvement with how they arrived, but since then, the CEO and CTO have developed

Host XO_Danforth says:
more significant relationships with them.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::notices the galley staff start brining out some of the dishes for the buffet. Goes over, and tastes some of the better ones...making sure they're not poisoned of course::

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO: Mr. Hoyt. These must be the children .... :: looking down at them with no emotion ::

CSO_Washudoin says:
*Infirmary* Medical emergency in the science lab :: Continues to fire upon the creature ::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION: The phaser fire penetrates the Aratauts scales and the creature screams in pain.  It then rushes through the lab doors and into the corridor before dropping dead.

Amanda says:
CIV:  How old is she?

Host XO_Danforth says:
CNS: I would not feel comfortable being made the parent over either of them.

CEO_Hoyt says:
CIV: Take them to get there ice cream would you?

Host CO_Claymore says:
Adm: As I said, I don't know my crew's private lives. Without that knowledge I don't think I would trust any of them with the children, however much I trust them with my own life. On the other hand, my experience tells me that whoever a child runs after, that is the one who we can trust... look closely at Lieutenant Mrlr.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::hears the TO’s hail:: CO:  Go, go.  Get out of here.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::skids to a halt right outside the science lab and almost trips over the dead creature.  Looks around:: CSO: Everyone all right?

TO_Dee says:
::hails the cruiser again::

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: She is almost 10 months old.

CEO_Hoyt says:
Blake/Amanda: Go with the Mr. Horn...I will be right with you. Then maybe we can go swimming or something, how would you like that?

Amanda says:
CIV:  That's not a little girl.  That is a baby. :: makes a disdainful face at the CIV ::

CNS_Freudian says:
::Records his answer on the PADD::  XO:  Well, if you feel like that, would you want me to just report that here and end the interview?  It's possible that the CEO and CTO feel the same way as you.

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO: No, I wish to observe a moment you may "participate" with them a moment....

Host CO_Claymore says:
::runs out the door to the location of the creature::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Laughs at the site of the curious cat:: CTO: just one of these science brains got injured, but everything is fine now.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: Well, that is true, but she is still my little girl.

CSO_Washudoin says:
Bargle: Ensign get some of the men and get that thing on a table and strapped down.

CEO_Hoyt says:
Veldas: All right...::turns around:: You two ready? What would you like?

TO_Dee says:
::doesn't get a response from the CO and contacts the XO informing him of the situation in the lab and just outside::

Amanda says:
CEO:  Where are you going?  :: begins to feel panicked at being handed off yet again ::

CNS_Veldas says:
:: sits at a table and takes notes ::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
COM: Arcadia: TO: Captain. K'ran here, I am requesting permission to dock. 

Host XO_Danforth says:
CNS: Well... ::hears the hail from the TO:: I'm sorry.  I have to go.  In short, please feel free to use this as an endorsement of both the CEO and the CTO.  I'm sorry.

Host XO_Danforth says:
::leaves immediately::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Amanda: Nowhere...I will be right here Sweetheart ::gives Amanda a smile::

Host XO_Danforth says:
*TO*: Report.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::grins:: CSO: Well then I'll be on my way.  I think I've seen enough of this creature.  As soon as you figure out a way for us to detect it tell me and we'll set up proximity alarms.

Host CO_Claymore says:
*TO*: I'm heading to the lab,  what's the situation?

Amanda says:
:: still holding Blake’s hand and nods at the CEO ::

TO_Dee says:
*XO*: A Klingon battle cruise is asking to dock with us.

CEO_Hoyt says:
Amanda/Blake: What kinds of ice cream would you like?

OPS_Hawkes says:
::takes a last count of the chairs and compares with the expected number of attendees::

CNS_Freudian says:
::Rises, seeing the XO's urgency to leave and walks with him to the door:: XO:  I will do that.  I'm sure they will appreciate your support.  Nice meeting you.

CIV_Horn says:
::Goes behind the counter and starts preparing Ice cream::

TO_Dee says:
*CO*: The creature escaped I have had everyone beamed out and the back up fields are in place around the lab.

Amanda says:
:: begins looking around :: CEO:  Strawberry, with sprinkles.  Lots of sprinkles.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
*CIV* T'Sar to Lieutenant Horn.

CSO_Washudoin says:
CTO: You've got it. :: Kind of mumbled as he turns his back and walks away, goes and retrieves his 'excavating' tools::

TO_Dee says:
*XO*: Shall I give them permission to dock?

CEO_Hoyt says:
Blake: what about you?

Host XO_Danforth says:
*TO*: Lt. is that an emergency?  Is there a reason you don't want them to dock?

OPS_Hawkes says:
*XO*: ::obviously oblivious to everything going on in the station:: Sir, I think the hall's ready. The band...or whatever is here. Just waiting on the live food, but the hall's ready.

CNS_Freudian says:
*CTO*:  Ma'am, if you are ready, I would like to commence with your interview of the twins.

CIV_Horn says:
*T'Sar:*Horn here Admiral.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::takes a detour to the weapons locker and pulls out a compression rifle:: *TO*: Are you certain that it is contained?

TO_Dee says:
COM: Kran:  Captain, may I ask your reason for docking?

TO_Dee says:
*CO*: According to my sensors yes

Host XO_Danforth says:
*OPS*: Commander.  We may have a situation in OPS.  Can you meet me in the C&C?

Amanda says:
CEO:  Blake wants double chocolate.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
*CIV* Do you have the twins with you yet, Lieutenant?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::gulps a bit:: *CNS_Freudian*: Aye....I'm on my way.

OPS_Hawkes says:
*XO* Aye sir. On my way. ::hands his PADD to an astonished crewman, and exits the hall heading for the C&C::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Watches Bargle contact the rest of the science team and has them all return, except for Ensign Marcus, who was the only victim, watches the team get to work moving the creature and prepping it for dissection ::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::nods at the ice cream man:: Strawberry with lots of sprinkles and Double chocolate for the little man here.

CIV_Horn says:
*T'Sar: Yes I do, I am also with the Counselor and Chief engineer.

TO_Dee says:
*XO*: I have none reason as of yet to deny except maybe there sudden appearance.  I have contact requesting an explanation for they’re wanting to dock.

Amanda says:
<Blake>  CEO:  No sprinkles for me.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
*CIV*: Leave the Chief with the Counselor and bring the twins to my office.

Host CO_Claymore says:
*TO*: I'm heading down there, is anyone in the senior staff there?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::heads over to the CNS Freudian's office and rings the chime::

Host XO_Danforth says:
::arrives in the C&C:: TO: Okay, now that I'm here, explain to me why you needed to contact me?  It sounds like you have the situation under control.

Amanda says:
<Blake> :: looks around, keeping Amanda close ::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:

*CO*: Sir it is a Klingon battle cruiser.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::thinks carefully about her next words:: CNS: The main reason?  We love each other.  I'd do anything for those kids.  Plus...I understand what they are going through.  I am an orphan and I can help them through this period as I've helped many other orphans in the orphanages I was raised in.

Amanda says:
:: nods to her brother ::

Amanda: It will be okay Amanda.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::relaxes:: *TO*: Very good. Keep me informed.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
<K'ran> ::nods:: XO: No need, Commander, our ship has been plagued with technical problems on this mission.  I believe our Terran counselor refers to the problems as Gremlins.

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO: He should not have left here with those twins we were confined here and safe ....

Host XO_Danforth says:
K'ran: Ah, yes.  I'll have an engineering team come up and help your ship out for any needs they may have.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::Noting the XO's docking command, has the power returned to the umbilical on the docking arm::

TO_Dee says:
::puts her phaser back in it's hole but keeps her hand there not liking what has transpired::

Host XO_Danforth says:
K'ran: Currently the promenade is being used for diplomatic purposes but otherwise, feel free to enjoy the station.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices the alert alarm and figures if he's needed he'll be called upon as the alert goes down, continues to cut into the creature::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::turns back to the CNS:: CNS: My apologies, counselor.  You were asking about my taking care of them while on shift? I would keep them in the same daycare as they are in now.  They've adjusted well there and have made quite a few friends.  As the CTO I am on Alpha shift.

Host XO_Danforth says:
CO: Captain, this is our honorable guest, K'ran.

CEO_Hoyt says:
Veldas: It's okay...the twins have a security detail watching them right now. I trust Mr. Horn.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda/Blake: I am also an Orphan like you.

CNS_Freudian says:
CTO:  Yes, that would be a good shift.  And they are getting older...they aren't little tykes anymore.  This next question will be a bit more difficult, but I have to ask.  Would you recommend either the XO or the CEO as parents and why?

Host XO_Danforth says:
CO: Sorry to pull you from your duties, Captain.  There was a communications mix-up.

TO_Dee says:
::lets go of the phaser and returns her hand to the console::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::a little irritated:: Veldas: I see...and what did you want to see me about? ::thinks this is about Julline::

Host CO_Claymore says:
::scratches his head:: XO: Commander, why did a Klingon just transport off my station like that?

CNS_Freudian says:
CTO:  Your answer is strictly confidential, remember.

TO_Dee says:
::sees what the XO is doing and doesn't like it::

Amanda says:
<Blake> CIV:  Did your parents die too?

CIV_Horn says:
Blake: Yes they did.

Amanda says:

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO: You have petitioned for adoption Do you EVEN comprehend what you have gotten yourself into ... :: his voice now louder and commanding ::

Host XO_Danforth says:
CO: The Klingons are having multiple problems and when they suddenly cloaked and decloaked the TO thought there potentially could be a problem and called for my aid.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda: They died in an accident.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION: The clean-up crew reports that they are making slow progress rounding up the rodents and getting transporter information loaded into the system to aide their work.

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO: they have needs and they will take more time then you can even imagine.

Host XO_Danforth says:
CO: K'ran beamed in and out because they were having problems communicating with us.

CSO_Washudoin says:

CEO_Hoyt says:
CNS: Mr. Veldas... yes I do. I love those kids. I would do anything for them. I have the space in my quarters. I know they have needs. And I would appreciate it if you didn't talk down to me. I didn't get my self into anything.

Host XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Commander, can you make sure that the celebration is going along alright?

Host CO_Claymore says:
XO: if that is everything I need to be getting back to the Admiral...

Host XO_Danforth says:
CO: Of course sir.

Host XO_Danforth says:
::waits for the CO to leave and then turns to the TO::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::her heart drops as she thinks that she was only here to vouch for the XO or CEO and not for herself.  In a tight voice:: CNS: Counselor...either officer would make a splendid parent for the children.  They both care about them.

TO_Dee says:
::looks at the XO and nods::

Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks into the turbolift::

CIV_Horn says:
::The turbolift stops and the doors open::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: To him self : Absolutely fascinating :: Bargle: It looks like we have a mother. <Bargle> CSO: Cigars for all Sir? Bargle: Excellent idea

Amanda says:
<Blake> Amanda: I guess not.

Host XO_Danforth says:
::motions for her to follow him to his office:: Jar OPS: Mr. Smith you have the Conn.

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda/Blake: Ok, it’s just down the hall.

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO/CTO: what makes either of you adequate to handle such a task. I want to know your plans who will care for them when you are rushed to duty Do you think it is responsible or even practical to raise these kids on a ship, why would they not be better off on a planet somewhere .. somewhere where it is SAFE :: motions to the alert status lights ::

TO_Dee says:
::follows the XO pretty sure she knows what this is about::

Amanda says:
<Blake> Amanda: Almost there.

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: I'll try sir. Some of the food has escaped. The TO has a team on it. I'll head down momentarily sir.

CSO_Washudoin says:

CTO_Mrlr says:
::quickly grabs the rat in her claws and looks around puzzled.  Holds it up to the CNS:: CNS: Excuse me, ma'am...but is this yours?

CIV_Horn says:
Amanda/Blake: Ok this is it, I will probably be leaving you with the Admiral for a little bit, but if you ever want to talk I will be available for you ok?

OPS_Hawkes says:
::Rolls his eyes, and wonders what he's gotten himself into::

CNS_Freudian says:
::Screams and jumps up into her seat, watching the cat and mouse game::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Veldas: There are schools on the station. And no place is ever completely safe no matter where you go. I will protect them with all I can. I love those two

CNS_Veldas says:
CEO: we will continue this later I'm not convinced yet.

Amanda says:
<Blake> CIV:  So you’re just leaving us now too?  :: thinking about kicking the CIV ::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Cuts out the egg sac and has Bargle and Farvington take in over to a huge bowl like table, has them start scans ::

CNS_Freudian says:
