Mission Summary:

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
The creature that was captured within the Jeffries tubes was identified as an overgrown Arataut and the science team on duty began working on a way to identify it via sensors in order to search for any others on the station.  During the examination of the beast, the sedative wore off and it began thrashing within its cage.  This thrashing overloaded the force field and the creature was on the loose again.  It attacked one of the science officers and busted through the lab doors.  The creature had to be killed.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
The preparations for the Danarian celebration have been completed and everything but the food is ready to go.  The food, various species of living rodents, escaped and is running loose on the diplomatic level.  Various injuries have occurred as various civilians and diplomatic personnel have been in a panic and trying to get away from the animals.  Lt. JG Dee has a team attempting to round up the small creatures.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
While business proceeded as usual, Admiral T'Sar took the opportunity to speak with Captain Claymore about several of the crew that have petitioned to adopt the Coopersmith twins.  Two counselors have been assigned to speak with the petitioners and make their recommendations to the Admiral concerning each candidate.  The Admiral is awaiting the counselor's report before making any decision as to who to award custody of the twins to.

CEO_Hoyt says:
*XO*: Aye sir ::sighs and turns around and heads for engineering::

XO_Danforth says:

Blake says:
All:  Alright, cool!!!!  ::Starts chasing the rat around vigorously::

CTO_Mrlr says:

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: Perhaps, Blake would enjoy your friend there.

CMO_Galen says:
COM: Arcadia: OPS: This is Lt Galen requesting permission to come aboard.

TO_Dee says:

Blake says:
All:  Shhhh!!  You'll scare it!  ::Looks around and grabs the garbage can and advances on the rat again::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Amanda: It's ok, from what I understand, this was meant for the Danarian delegation and got loose.  It should be perfectly harmless.

::enters engineering:: ALL: Let's get a status report ASAP people...

OPS_Hawkes says:
COMM: LT Galen: We read you Lt. Wait one for confirmation.

Queen_Kashana says:

CEO_Hoyt says:
::looks at the status board::*XO*:Sorry about the tardiness Commander...everything in the Green down here.

CSO_Washudoin says:

@COM: Arcadia: Thank you OPS. What docking station do I put this beast down at?

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: Aye sir.

Amanda says:
T`Sar:  And if we do, then we can go back to Mrlr.

Queen_Kashana says:
::steps forward to check herself in the mirror::

Blake says:
::Leans over to the Admiral and whispers::  T'Sar:  Do I get to keep it?

Host CO_Claymore says:
Blake: Not bad, that's another one the crew doesn't have to worry about. Now take a seat back down over there, the Admiral has some important things to talk with you about.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION:  The maintenance teams report in that the rodents have been collected from the diplomatic level.

XO_Danforth says:
*CEO*: Good job, Mr. Hoyt.  Have you sealed engineering so that the rodents don't invade?

OPS_Hawkes says:
*CPO Monk*: Mr. Monk, please report to the docking port to collect a Lt. Galen. Once you've found him, be very polite, and escort him to OPS. Any questions?

CEO_Hoyt says:
*XO*: No I haven't sir. There's nothing in here they can get into anyway.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::winks at the boy:: Blake: Of course, you can keep it.

Blake says:
::Looks at the captain and his shoulders fall, thinking the rat won't be his:: CO: Yessir.  ::Walks back over to his chair and slumps down on it.::

OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Monk> *OPS*: No sir, no questions. On my way…

OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Monk> ::heads for the docking port.::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Amanda/Blake:  Did you know that there are families that want to adopt you?

Blake says:
::Brightens immediately and starts making plans on where to keep it and what to feed it::

TO_Dee says:
::sighs when she gets an update from one of her buddies in the maintain group that level 37 in clear of the rodents::  *CTO*: Ma'am, looks like this level is clear of the little devils.  Now all we have to do is round up the ones in the ducts and crawl spaces.

Queen_Kashana says:
::decides she is fully dressed::

CMO_Galen says:
:: waits for final approval for docking

Blake says:
::Stops his thinking...:: CO: Uhhh, yessir, that's what I heard.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CO: Captain, could you obtain a cage for the boy's pet?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::walks around the level and quickly snatches up one rat that the team missed:: Maitenance guy: Hoy...over here...catch! ::throws the rat to him and watches him catch it in his bag::

CEO_Hoyt says:
*XO*: Should have I done that sir?

Host CO_Claymore says:

OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO Monk> ::arrives at the docking port and holds up a sign that says "Gaylan"::

Queen_Kashana says:
*CO*: What is the update in preparing for the celebration, Captain?

Amanda says:
T`Sar:  Yes Admirable.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Blake/Amanda:  I know that you are currently in foster care, but I as well as others believe that it's time for you to have a real family.

CMO_Galen says:
:: gets the approval and enters the docking port assigned to him :: disengages engines and sets the shuttle down disembarking:: 

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Blake/Amanda:  That is why you are here.

XO_Danforth says:
*CEO*: As long as you are comfortable with the situation, Chief then I am too.

Amanda says:
:: nods ::

CTO_Mrlr says:
*TO*: Yes...I'm here now.  Make sure that no personnel are in the ventilation area and then lock onto any life forms and beam them into a cargo bay.  But first set up a force field in case we find more little surprises like that snake creature.

CMO_Galen says:
:: sees the sign :: giggles :: walks over to the person. :: Hello there I'm Lt Galen.

CSO_Washudoin says:
Bargle: Ensign, begin removing the top of the skull and extracting the brain :: Doesn't even look away from his hands inside the gooiness of the creature, pulls out the stomach, weighs it, and puts it aside ;:

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: Did you get the report that the rodents are cleared from level 37? I'm scanning adjacent levels now. ::extends his scan to adjacent levels::

CEO_Hoyt says:
*XO*:Aye that I am sir. It might be nice to have a little critter in here. Just kidding ::puts a level 1 force field around the power core::

Blake says:
::sets his jaw and pushes on his sister's arm, curious::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION: The Arataut's tail begins to twitch as the dissection continues.

Host CO_Claymore says:

TO_Dee says:
*CTO*: Aye ma'am. ::walks over to a wall console and begins to set up the additional fields::

Queen_Kashana says:
::sits on the couch almost appearing at attention, listening to the CO's answer::

CTO_Mrlr says:
*OPS*: Could you please inform the diplomats that they may now return to their quarters?

CIV_Horn says:

OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO Monk> ::puts the sign down and extends his hand:: Galen: Good to meet you. I'm CPO Monk. I'm to escort you to the C&C. Have all your gear?

OPS_Hawkes says:
*CTO*: Sure thing Mrlr.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION:  The Operations team gives notice that the preparations are complete.

CMO_Galen says:
CPO: Its still on the shuttle. 

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices the tail move and pauses, knowing this thing can't be alive, goes back to his business::

Queen_Kashana says:
*CO*: That is s-s-satis-s-sfactory, my dear Captain.  We will wait for you here I s-s-suppos-s-se.

OPS_Hawkes says:
*Level 37*: May I have your attention, we apologize for any inconvenience, but the convention hall is now ready for your return. Have a nice day.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::takes one last look around and then heads back to her office wondering what else will happen::

CMO_Galen says:
CPO: But we should probably get to C&C.

CEO_Hoyt says:
::leaves a Ensign in charge::*EO*:How's the modifications to Level 37 going?

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:

 OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO Monk>: Pleased to hear it. ::enters the TL and wait for the CMO::

Amanda says:
Blake:  Don't be silly Blake, that's an Admirable.  They don't adopt kids.

OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO MOnk> TL : OPS please.

CMO_Galen says:

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION:  The transporters take affect and the rodents materialize into a containment field.

Blake says:
::Frowns at Amanda::  Amanda: They can if they want...they own everything!

CSO_Washudoin says:
CEO: Hoyt. :: Nods:: It's going well and slimey :: Shows him some goo sliding off the gloves on his hand ::

Queen_Kashana says:
Teani: You s-s-shall wait here.  I will call you if your s-s-servic-c-ces-s-s are nec-c-cess-s-sary.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::Sees that the bio signs suddenly poof into the containment field, and smiles a smile of unholy glee:: Self: Serve ya' right ya' little beggers.

CEO_Hoyt says:
CSO: Now that is just gross...how's our reptilian friend here?

Blake says:
::Smiles at the captain, then jiggles the cage to make sure the rat is still alive::

Queen_Kashana says:
<Teani> Queen: Yes-s-s Ma'am. ::bows and exits the room::

Amanda says:
Blake:  Do not!!!  Just a lot and they don't adopt kids 'cause they are too busy.  :: sticks out her tongue at her brother ::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Amanda: You don't have to call me sir.  Blake: I would love having two little ones like you in my life, but I don't think I can handle that at the moment.  But I do have some news for you, your adoptive parent has been selected.

CSO_Washudoin says:
CEO: I think it's a lot better now

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Bargle removes the top of the skull and drops it on the floor with a loud thud ::

Amanda says:
:: looks up at the  Admiral :: T`Sar:  Is it Mrlr??

Blake says:
::Tries to grab her tongue and sticks his out, then looks quickly at the officers, realizing they are acting very bad::

CEO_Hoyt says:
CSO: Personally that thing should have been blown out the nearest air lock

OPS_Hawkes says:
<CPO Monk> ::As the TL approaches OPS:: CMO: Level 8 sir. Clocks, socks and OPS...right this way. ::smiles and extends his arm indicating for the CMO to exit first::

CIV_Horn says:
*ADM*: Yes Ma'am.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::almost collapses into her chair and stares at the pile of PADDs that grew on her desk.::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CEO: Never, this is an incredible find… this thing is huge. I have never seen an Arataut this big.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
*CIV* Then accompany the Captain to escort the Danarian queen to their celebration.

Amanda says:
:: smiles and squeezes  Blake’s arm :: Blake:  It is Mrlr…

EO_Kone says:
*CEO*: Sorry sir, I was taking a measurement to install a censor had my hands full… the modifications are going well.  I will have a completion time for you shortly

TO_Dee says:
::gets an update by the computer that her scans show 5 like creatures, like the monster that they fought, on the station.::  *CTO*: Ma'am, my scan for like creatures to that thing that went after the twins have completed.  There are 5 like creatures, all in crew quarters.  I believe we have seen the last of any monster aratauts.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CO: You may wish to see to your party guests.  The children and I will get along fine.

CEO_Hoyt says:
CSO: For what it did to the Children it should have been.

CSO_Washudoin says:
CEO: And with a healthy sac of eggs

OPS_Hawkes says:

CIV_Horn says:
*CTO*: Lt, please report to the Admirals office please.

CTO_Mrlr says:
*TO*: Good...inform the owners of those creatures that a periodic check on their whereabouts will be done by security.  Maybe that will stop them from dumping them into the recycle bins when they are tired of them.

CEO_Hoyt says:
::laughs and exits the Science Lab::

OPS_Hawkes says:
::Sends a message via console to the cooks that the rodents are waitng for them in cargo bay 10. And adds that if this happens again, he'll be unhappy...so they'll be unhappy.::

Blake says:
::Whispers to his sister::  Amanda:  But Amanda!!  Does she eat ... ::nods his head towards his new rodent::

CSO_Washudoin says:

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::walks around her desk and kneels between the twins:: Blake: Yes, Mrlr eats animals, but she won't harm your friend here.

Amanda says:
:: whispers back to her brother :: Blake:  'course not Blake.  She wouldn't eat your pet.

Queen_Kashana says:

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
Amanda: Of course, you both will be together.  

Queen_Kashana says:
Self: To protect the citizens, he is very strong...

OPS_Hawkes says:
::Despite the fact that there are no orders for Galen yet, Hawkes does find a open billet on Deck 12, and assigns that to him on a semi-temporary basis::

Amanda says:
:: nods ::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
*CIV* Any word from the candidates, Lieutenant?

CEO_Hoyt says:

Queen_Kashana says:
Self: I jus-s-st love that s-s- song.  Although I won't admit how many years I've been singing it. ::laughs to herself and turns away from the mirror::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::smiles broadly:: Blake: Everything will be allright.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
*CIV* Have Lieutenant Mrlr come in first, then you're dismissed to aid the Captain.

<Teani> ::bows:: Queen: Yes-s-s, my Queen.

Blake says:
::Opens his eyes and lets his breath out, but one foot jiggles with nervousness and a smile grows on his face::

EO_Kone says:
*CEO*:Sir the installation of the sensors is complete, you may go on line at your discretion

CTO_Mrlr says:
::walks all the way in and stands before the Admiral’s desk.  her heart beating loudly:: Admiral: Aye....I did.

TO_Dee says:
::Arrives in the conference room and looks around with the keen eyes of a well trained TAC officer::

Blake says:
::Looks at his sister and is ready to pop::

Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: Then shall we go to our quarters and then meet outside the turbolift near the Queen's quarters?

CEO_Hoyt says:
*EO*:Good job Ensign...inform the CSO and work with him on getting them online and powered up.

Amanda says:
:: looks at her brother, wanting to jump up and run to Mrlr ::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CTO: Well, I understand from the counselors that you have a good attitude toward the children, a lot of knowledge of human needs, and a good relationship with others that have petitioned to adopt them.

EO_Kone says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, Kone out

CMO_Galen says:
XO: You may call me Doctor, Lt or Eddie. I'm very informal most of the time.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: Say, ten minutes.

TO_Dee says:
::nods to her top officer there and moves over to him to get an update::

Blake says:
::Starts to giggle and clamps a hand on his mouth, looking down at the floor::

Host CO_Claymore says:

Amanda says:
:: glares at Blake and whispers :: Blake:  Shhhhhh

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues to pull out the organs, weigh them and set them aside for later study ::

OPS_Hawkes says:
::overhearing the CMO's name, he searches for a Starfleet personnel file to compare him with::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::calls on her Vulcan training to keep her face impassive:: CTO: I wanted to speak with you about the custody of the children.  I've decided to give visitation rights to Lieutenant Hoyt.  He is quite fond of the children and I believe they are of him as well.  Do you think that would work well?

Queen_Kashana says:
Teani: Can you believe this-s-s Teani?  We are this-s-s clos-s-se ::holds up her fingers:: to joining.

CIV_Horn says:
::Heads for his quarters::

Blake says:
::Moves his hand a little and whispers:: Amanda:  I'm tryyyying...

Queen_Kashana says:
<Teani> Queen: Yes-s-s, my Queen.  This-s-s is-s-s your dream.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters turbolift:: TL: Home.

XO_Danforth says:
CMO: Alright Doctor.  Why don't you go get settled in temporary quarters until we get everything straightened away with Starfleet.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Mr. Hawkes.  Can you please assign temporary quarters for the doctor until we can get everything for him in order.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::clamps her jaw down hard for a moment and is careful not to look at the children so they won't see any disappointment:: Admiral: Aye Admiral...I think Lt. Hoyt would make a very good guardian for the twins.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CTO: However, primary custody is going to someone that can relate to them better than any of the other petitioners.  

CIV_Horn says:
::Enters a turbolift and calls for his deck::

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: Aye sir. I took the liberty. ::Walks over to Galen::

Host CO_Claymore says:
*Queen*: Your majesty, I am on my way to pick you up. I shall be arriving in fifteen minutes

CMO_Galen says:
:: nods to the OPS officer :: 

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CTO:  Congratulations, Lieutenant, I think you will be a fine guardian for these two.  I hope that Lieutenant Hoyt will be a help to you.

Blake says:
::swings his legs to distract himself::

CMO_Galen says:
OPS: Where are my quarters?

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::watches her reaction::

Queen_Kashana says:
*CO* Thank you kind S-S-Sir, I will be waiting.

OPS_Hawkes says:
CMO: Mr. Galen, I've assigned you temp quarters on deck....er I mean LEVEL 12. I've also assigned you a set of guest passcodes of appropriate clearance level.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::her ears twitch straight towards the Admiral at those words:: Admiral: You...you...mean...that...I...I...and they...and we...

Amanda says:
:: jump up and run to Mrlr and grabs her leg :: CTO:  Kitty!!

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
ACTION:  Music blares throughout the gathering hall as the guests begin to arrive.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::nods:: CTO: Yes, you 3 are a family now.

OPS_Hawkes says:
CMO: ::glances down at his chest:: May I borrow this a moment? ::pluck the comm badge from his chest. Then walks over to he OPS console, lays it on a square area and taps some buttons::

Host CO_Claymore says:
*Queen*: Hopefully not too long, Claymore out.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CTO:  I will leave you three alone for a bit, I hope to see you all at the Danarian celebration soon.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::the comm badge beeps happily a few times. Hawkes pick it up and returns it to the CMO::

CMO_Galen says:
OPS: Thank you. I think I shall go retire for a few minutes and then go find the infirmary.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::forgets where they are and drops down gathering up Amanda in a big hug....holding out one arm to Blake::

Blake says:
::Jumps up and down::  CTO:  Yay!!! We get to live with you!!

EO_Kone says:
*CSO*: Sir the new sensors are installed, the CEO wants me to coordinate with you to get them on line

OPS_Hawkes says:
CMO: Your comm badge is now a visitor on our net.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::gets out of the TL and enters his quarters just down the corridor::

CMO_Galen says:
:: nods :: OPS: Thank you.  

Amanda says:
:: hugs Mrlr tightly ::

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>CO: Hello?

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::leaves the three to celebrate and walks into the waiting area:: CEO: Thank you for waiting, Lieutenant.  I won't keep you long, I'm sure that you want to get to the Danarian celebration as does many of the crew.

TO_Dee says:
::covers her ears as the music starts to play::  *OPS*: ::yells a bit:: Is there any reason why the music is so loud here at the celebration?

Blake says:
::Runs to Mrlr and whaps into her, giving her a big squeeze::

Queen_Kashana says:
Teani: We s-s-shall s-s-see what happens-s-s tonight.

OPS_Hawkes says:
CMO: You'll find the medical facilities on Deck 13.

::Arrives at his quarters and changes into his dress uniform::

Queen_Kashana says:
<Teani> Queen: Yes-s-s, my Queen.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::hears his comm badge:: CMO: Excuse me.

CSO_Washudoin says:
*EO* Understood Ensign, you just let me know what you need and I'll have one of my men get right on it.

Host CO_Claymore says:
Tari: Sorry I can’t stay long ::Jason said running into the bedroom to change and yelling into the living room:: I have to get dressed for the celebration

OPS_Hawkes says:
::walks over to OPS and dials down the music:: *TO* Better Dee?

CMO_Galen says:
OPS: Thank you.

CEO_Hoyt says:
::snaps to attention:: 

CMO_Galen says:
XO: commander. If I may…

EO_Kone says:
*CSO*: I will need the information on the creature and any other life forms you wish to be alerted to

OPS_Hawkes says:
CMO: No problem. ::Smiles::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CEO:  I called you here to talk to you about the adoptions of the Coopersmith twins, I have granted visitation rights to you, Lieutenant.  I believe you will be an excellent influence on the two of them, and with Mrlr as their mother, they will need a father figure.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::starts to purr furiously as she hugs the kids tightly::

XO_Danforth says:
CMO: Of course, doctor.  Make yourself at home.

XO_Danforth says:
::waits for the doctor to leave the C&C::

TO_Dee says:
::uncovers her ears and smiles:: *OPS*: Yes thank you, honey.  I thought there for a moment we were being attacked by a music monster. ::grins::

CMO_Galen says:
:: nods :: XO: thank you. :: walks out of OPS and calls for the TL:: Walks in when it comes :: deck 12 :: 

OPS_Hawkes says:
*TO*: Well, I'm sure if we were, it'd be dead by now. ::smiles dopily because she said 'honey'::

CIV_Horn says:
::Checks with Suzie to make sure everything is ok and kisses his daughter::

Blake says:
::Moves back a little from Mrlr:: CTO:  Hey, can you teach me to do that?  Your purring thing.  ::Tries to imitate it::

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari> CO: Alright, I don't think I'll be able to make it there so I'll see you when I get home. I just stopped back in get some research material I left. See you later… ::walks out::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Motions for Pickleburger to come :: Pickleburger: Send the EO all information on this ::points at the creature :: that we've received and the information for the several other creatures on the list.

OPS_Hawkes says:
::notices Monk is still standing there at parade rest, glaring at him meaningfully::

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Commander, find out quickly what the doctor's orders truly are and monitor him until we know for sure.

TO_Dee says:
::grins and starts to socialize a bit but never dropping her alertness::

Amanda says:
:: moves back a bit to look at Mrlr's face ::  CTO:  You wouldn't eat Blake’s pet rat, would you?

CMO_Galen says:
:: arrives at deck 12 and walks out finding his quarters and walking in plopping himself down :: 

Host CO_Claymore says:
::hears her walk out and doesn't have time to reply... finishes getting dressed and heads for the turbolift again, tugging on his dress uniform all the way::

OPS_Hawkes says:
CPO: Thank you Monk. ::hears the XO:: return to your duties

CSO_Washudoin says:
*EO* Ok Kone, Pickleburger is forwarding all the data you need. Keep me informed. :: Watches Pickleburger walk over to the consol and begin sending the data stream ::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: Blake: Of course.  ::tickles Amanda's nose with her whiskers:: Amanda: And you too kitling.  ::pauses and looks around:: What rat?

CEO_Hoyt says:
::a smile comes across his face but quickly removes the smile::

CIV_Horn says:
::Tosses his daughter in the air and she giggles::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CEO: Would you like to spend some time with them?  They are in my office now, if you would like to join them.

Amanda says:
:: giggles and points :: CTO:  The one the Admirable gave him.

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: Aye sir. I've checked our subspace in box, but nothing yet. Of course, that's his story. I'll set up a program to track his comm badge if you'd like, and send you hourly updates to your office under encryption if you'd like?

Blake says:
::lets go of Mrlr and runs to the cage, standing protectively in front of it::  CTO:  It's my new pet

Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Danarian Delegation.

CEO_Hoyt says:
::nods:: Admiral: Aye...that I would sir.

CEO_Hoyt says:
::steps in front of the door::

CIV_Horn says:
::Puts his daughter down and leaves to meet the CO::

Amanda says:
CTO:  I told him you wouldn't on account’a you don't eat pets.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
CEO: I'm sure that you will be able to spend a lot of time with them.

CTO_Mrlr says:
::stands up and walks over to it and says solemnly:: Twins: Well if the Admirable gave it to you then it is a special pet.  We will have to make a nice home for it.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Yes, Commander.  Good work.

XO_Danforth says:
::turns his attention to one of many puzzles on board::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Admiral: Thank you sir. ::smiles as Julline would be proud of him right now::

Amanda says:
Blake:  See, I told you she wouldn't eat it.

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: Thank you sir. ::Enters the parameters for a confidential tracing program on Galen::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::waits in the doorway for the twins to notice him::

EO_Kone says:
::receives the data from the CSO and begins downloading it into the sensor control system::

OPS_Hawkes says:
::sets up an automated command to encrypt results and send to the XO's terminal.::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::watches the CEO and twins for a moment and then heads out for the Danarian party::

Blake says:
::Smiles at Mrlr and thinks she'll be great to live with::  CTO:  Okay, but it needs some water and food soon, okay?

Amanda says:
:: looks up at the CEO and smiles :: CEO:  You came!  Just like you promised.

Amanda says:
:: runs and hugs the CEO's leg ::

OPS_Hawkes says:
::reconfigures his OPS console to defaults, and pauses a moment to check the power levels::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Amanda: Like I promised sweetheart. ::bends down and gives Amanda a big hug::

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: Tracking program is in place sir. Let me know if you don't receive data on the hour.

CTO_Mrlr says:
Blake: Of course...but after we get food and water into you two… ::sees the CEO and smiles::

TO_Dee says:
::talking to a rather dull engineering officer and finds her mind drifting to think about Chris::

Queen_Kashana says:
::begins humming to herself::

CMO_Galen says:
Computer: play Beethoven's Requiem

Blake says:
::Turns around and sees the CEO::  CTO:  Can you watch Herman for a minute?  ::goes over to Hoyt and squeezes him hard too, but not like a hug::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::smiles back at the CTO and knows that they are the two Starfleet officers right now::

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: thank you, Mr. Hawkes.  By the way, how did your family come by that name?

CSO_Washudoin says:
*EO* That list contains about 100 different dangerous animal specs and some life threatening insects.

CIV_Horn says:
::Waits for a turbolift::

CTO_Mrlr says:
::blinks and looks at the rat:: Rat: Herman?

CMO_Galen says:
:: walks over and starts unpacking his belongings. 

Blake says:
::Stands back right away, not wanting to seem too mushy::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Blake: Hey Partner...see just like I promised

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::takes the turbolift to the celebration::

CSO_Washudoin says:
*EO* I don't plan on running into any of these on the station but if we're gonna do it we might as well do it right. ::laughs and continues to his work ::

Host CO_Claymore says:
::feels the turbolift stopping early, assumes someone is about to get on with him. Stops tugging at uniform::

Blake says:
CEO:  Yep, and I knew you'd keep your promise.  Hey, look at Herman...he's my new pet.

CEO_Hoyt says:
CTO: Mrlr...I think these two deserve another Ice Cream store trip...never got to finish it last time...what you think, ‘Momma’? ::smiles at the CTO::

CIV_Horn says:
::Sees the turbolift stop::

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: ::stops a moment, caught off guard by the question:: Well, I don't really know. I know my people are from England, and the Hawkes name goes way back in various forms. Some speculate that one of my early ancestors might have been a Hawk tamer in a court or something? While I like that concept, I can't verify it.

Amanda says:
:: continues to hug Hoyt :: 

EO_Kone says:
*CSO*: Aye sir it is finished loading and I am powering the system up now. ::engages new sensors and watches the results ::

Queen_Kashana says:
::begins pacing around her quarters, the excitement getting the best of her::

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: ::feeling an opening:: How about you sir. What about 'Danforth'?

Blake says:
::Looks at Amanda:: 

Amanda says:
:: looks over at Mrlr :: CTO:  Can we go have ice cream again?  With sprinkles and everything?

OPS_Hawkes says:
::pulls out the OPS chair and leans against it, folding his arms, and glad for a chance to rest his fingers::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::sticks his finger in the cage… smiles picking up Amanda:: ALL: Shall we head back to Sam's Ice Cream Parlour?

CTO_Mrlr says:
::grins at the word 'Momma' and nods:: CEO: I believe you're right...::picks up the cage and looks into it:: 

CMO_Galen says:
:: puts up a flag he picked up on earth ::

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Sounds good.  I am often interested in genealogy.  Danforth?  It's from an ancient Earth language

CIV_Horn says:
::Sees the CO in the turbolift::

CIV_Horn says:
::Enters the turbolift::

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: I think it has something to do with farming, but I haven't been able to pin it down.  I believe it's Gaelic.

Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: Ah, this is convenient.

Blake says:
All:  Okay, just so's we all know.  I'm ready.  I want chocolate...
 
Queen_Kashana says:
Teani: Have you s-s-seen the menu for this-s-s evening?  Are they s-s-serving food I can diges-s-st?

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: snaps off one of the gloves, begins running chemical and biological scans on the various organs, making notes of anything unusual or helpful::

CEO_Hoyt says:
::looks at Mrlr::

CIV_Horn says:
CO: You, know diplomatic functions would be bearable if not for these dress uniforms.

Queen_Kashana says:
<Teani> Queen: They were very careful in their preparations-s-s my Queen. ::smiles::

CEO_Hoyt says:
Blake: You’re right, son… ::feels a little weird saying that but likes the sound of it::

Amanda says:
:: smiles at Blake ::

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: ::nods:: Well, it's amazing sometime how much we know about our heritage...and how much we don't, or can't. For me, my love has always been earth history. I'm afraid the bloodier the better. ::chuckles::

Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: Still too much pointless chatter for my taste.

EO_Kone says:
*CSO*: The sensors are up and appear to be working within specifications, but if you have a sample critter I would like to run a test

TO_Dee says:
::excuses herself from the dull conversationalist and moves off a few paces::  *XO*: ::voice dripping with sweetness:: Sir, I am monitoring the security arrangements here at the celebration and I was just wondering if both, you and the CO, will be joining us. ::adds so that he doesn't get suspicious::  I need to know for security purposes.

Blake says:
::Beams back at Hoyt::

CIV_Horn says:
CO: Most of the conversation doesn’t bother me.

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::enters the hall and looks at the delegates:: 

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Excuse me a moment, Mr. Hawkes.

CEO_Hoyt says:
::leads them all to Sam's Ice Cream Parlor::

OPS_Hawkes says:
::hears the TO over the XO's commbage, and smiles with sudden insight::

CSO_Washudoin says:
*EO* Understood, one second to round one up.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: It’s usually the petty bickering that happens that is annoying.

OPS_Hawkes says:
XO: By all means sir... ::smiles and makes an expansive gesture::

Blake says:
::Takes Hoyt's hand and Mrlr's and smiles at his sister::

CMO_Galen says:
:: finishes putting up the essentials and plops down on his sofa :: listening to the music in the background and totally relaxing :: 

Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: Then perhaps you could step in for me ::grins::

Host Admiral_T`Sar says:
::notices the TO and a few others:: *CIV* Lieutenant, have you spoken with the Queen, is there anything that she needs?

CIV_Horn says:
CO: You are not that lucky.

CSO_Washudoin says:
Pickleburger: Ensign go and grab the Kallactur that's in isolation and set it free in the cage.

CIV_Horn says:
*Adm*: The Captain and I are on our way to meet her now.

XO_Danforth says:
*TO*: Jazra, I believe the Captain is on his way.  I should be down soon.  Perhaps you wouldn't mind joining me for a meal if preparations allow?

CSO_Washudoin says:
<Pickleburger>CSO: Is that the fat little hairy creature.

Queen_Kashana says:
Teani: Good.  I do not know if I could handle s-s-some of thos-s-se Terran foods-s-s I have heard about.

Amanda says:
:: holds onto Hoyt's neck and look at her new Mom ::

TO_Dee says:
::grins and looks around::  *XO*: I think I can arrange that.

CSO_Washudoin says:
Pickleburger: Yes man, now go. ::Thinks to himself that good help is hard to find at times ::

Amanda says:
CEO:  Do you like chocolate or strawberry?

CSO_Washudoin says:
*EO* Ok go ahead and give it a try.

CEO_Hoyt says:
Amanda/Blake: Maybe some swimming too? What ‘ya think? ::beaming with happiness::

XO_Danforth says:
::turns back to OPS:: OPS: I myself have specialized in Earth history.

CEO_Hoyt says:
Amanda: Strawberry
