Previously on the USS Pandora:

The USS Pandora had invited several members of the ch'Tan over for dinner. We were getting ready when we last parted. Let's find out what will happen next.

FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: in her quarters wondering if she should head for the lounge and see what's happening there ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Leaving the gathering, logs into a terminal to check in on any updates from the Science teams.::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::stretches as she stands, then heads out into the corridor::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: decides not to go out and heads for her bedroom to read ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::is going through some reflection on the current events::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*Kriel*: Ensign, does the report I just pulled up mean what I think it does? Blast it, I hoped to be getting the case, not paying it.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::as the dinner party for the ch'Tan is concluding, stands and continues to chat with a few of their representatives and officers::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::manning the Bridge::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
<Kriel> *CSO*: I told you betting with me was a bad idea. Not that I'm complaining about that end of it. Finding a way through it may be a bit tough, however.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::walks slowly down the corridor to the lift then heads back to quarters:: Self: I'll be glad to shed these dress whites.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::mingles with the dinner attendants::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*Kriel*: Tomorrow we'll sit down, you, Clark and anyone else with a claim to a technological cleverness. Now that we know the problem finding the solution won't be quite so hard. I hope.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
k'Ris: Captain, I am glad you accepted our invitation to visit our ship. With the conclusion of our meal, I would offer to give you a tour, but, if you'd prefer to return to your ship for now, I would most certainly understand.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::enters her quarters and walks through to the bedroom closet...picks out something comfortable::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: pulls out an old volume of Jane Eyre and cuddles up in her bed ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb says:
:: finishing his dinner while listening to the conversations going on around him ::
Host k`Ris says:
CO: Thank you, Captain. Perhaps you could give an abbreviated version. I'm afraid that blue drink you have served...what did you call it...Ramanian Ale? Was rather potent! ::grins::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Logs off the terminal and walks back into the gathering, not sure exactly how this kind of event is meant to finish on board a vessel.:: Self: No, I'm not sure it's just like it was twenty years ago, Trelala.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::enters the bathroom for a quick shower and dresses in her favorite silk gown...ready to relax::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::whispers to the XO:: XO: They seem to be very receptive to taste new and exotic beverages ::smirks::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: pulls the throw on her bed over her legs and turns the pages of the book slowly ::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::lounges on the sofa, picking up a holo-novel to read::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Walks up to SC and XO. Speaks low enough so the ch'Tan representatives do not hear.:: SC/ XO: Not sure if now is the time to bring it up Captain, Commander, but we've got the start of an answer as to why our scans have been so ineffective in dealing with their technology.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::chuckles:: k'Ris: That drink is rather hard to come by, but that's a story for another night. I am glad you enjoyed it, but worry of its effect on different species, though you seem no worse for it.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Interesting founding.
Host k`Ris says:
CO: That is because I have not had to stand up for a while. ::chuckle:: Perhaps we should leave the cultural exchange for tomorrow. I would also like to let you tour our facilities, both here and below. ::raises glass in a toasting motion::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
k'Ris: It often amazes me as to how similar species so different from each other so often have such similar customs and traditions. What was that toast you made?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: as she sinks into the pillow, she wonders if anyone on the ship enjoys these old books ::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::gets up to get a blanket from the closet, and requests a cup of tea from the replicator before returning to the sofa and her novel::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
SC/ XO: It seems they've found a way to use the natural refraction of rays to keep any scans so diffuse that they don't return much data. Clever way to create a passive cloak, in a sense.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::motions to the XO, SC and CSO:: XO/SC/CSO: Gentlemen, please join us.
Host k`Ris says:
CO: I had said to new friends and new family connections. Family can be important, especially these days, for the ch'Tan. We do not wish to fall into disarray because we grow few in number.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Yes Captain. ::Steps over.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Ingenious.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb says:
CO: Yes Sir :: stand up and walks behind the captain and his guest ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
All: A toast then gentlemen. A toast to new friends and family connections. To a better time for all of us as we explore new sectors of this galactic arm.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs his glass::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: starts to close her eyes and lets the book slip into her lap ::
Host k`Ris says:
ALL: ::raises glass:: New friends and family connections.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Grabs a glass of what she hopes is a good drink and joins in the toast. Luckily, the glass she grabbed was just water.::
CNS_Ens_C`Triel says:
::takes a glass that is handed to her, raises it and pretends to sip since she isn't sure exactly what is in it::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::politely raises his glass to follow the toast::
CNS_Ens_C`Triel says:
::Glances around at the group, smiling when someone looks at her::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::sips her tea as she thumbs through the pages of her novel::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Captain, I'm a bit new to this...in this body anyway, but what are our plans moving forward today?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Captain k'Ris has requested a brief tour, and a tour he shall receive.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: turns slightly :: Computer: Light off. :: settles into the bed, the book slipping to the floor ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Very good, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Let's see how well your new you has learned of this new ship.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Lead on Lieutenant, lead on. The Captain awaits.
Host k`Ris says:
CO: ::sways slightly as he stands:: Indeed! A tour! Lead on, Captain! ::regains a little steadiness and balance::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::gets a fresh cup of tea and retires to her bed, snuggling down under the blanket to read::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: I believe I am up to speed on all of its features, Sir. At least the theories on how they work. .::Grins.:: 
All: If you would follow me, we can start on the Bridge I believe?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::makes a sweeping motion for all to proceed::
Host k`Ris says:
::follows as indicated::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::sets her tea on the night table to keep from dropping it and lets herself relax into her pillows::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Leads the group to the nearest Turbolift to head to the Bridge.:: ch'Tan Delegation: The Pandora is a Luna class vessel, the thirteenth of it's kind built by Starfleet as a deep space explorer. She has a crew of one hundred officers and two hundred and fifty crew of various species.
CNS_Ens_C`Triel says:
::watches and notices that the general feelings seem to be happiness::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the contingent, just suffering from a mild dizziness caused the Romulan Ale::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Steps into the Turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.
Host k`Ris says:
CSO: Yes, your multispecies makeup is fascinating to us. We have long been only us alone. This is refreshing! ::sways as he walks slightly::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::feels the aftereffect of the wine at dinner taking hold and lets herself drift::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
k"Ris: Yes Sir. We tend to forget at times that many other species do not live like this. But understanding others is why Starfleet is out here. There are other duties, of course, but in our history we've always returned to the exploration side.
Host k`Ris says:
CSO: That's a noble ideal. I think I like the idea of a...well, federation of these different species. The idea is a great one with very high ideals. Surely it must be difficult to achieve and maintain.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::looks to the Counselor as if to ask, "thumbs up or down?"::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
k'Ris: Yes Sir, there are often different ideas competing, but we try to understand each other which makes the differing opinions a bit easier to deal with. Of course it's not all perfect, but that's why we have rules and procedures to guide our actions.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Feels the Turbolift stop.:: ch'Tan: Here we have the Bridge, from where all ship aspects can be controlled as needed. Work stations around the Bridge are typically designated for certain departments or personnel, but each can be adapted to cover another duty as needed.
Host k`Ris says:
<SCD_LtCmdr_Walker> ALL: Captain on the Bridge.
Host k`Ris says:
SCD: Impressive. ::smiles in an inebriated fashion::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::hears faint music as she begins to dream::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
All: At ease. ::motions to the CSO to make this stop on the Bridge brief::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: has drifted off into a pleasant sleep ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Glances over to the Science station to see if the officer on duty has the sense to shut down any work on the ch'Tan ships.:: All: Right through here we have our Observation Lounge. Kind of a misnomer, more of a briefing room than a lounge but it's designed to hold most of the senior staff when we need to discuss things of import.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
ch'Tan: The windows provide one of the best views on the ship when the vessel is in motion.
Host k`Ris says:
CSO: We have similar facilities onboard our ship. We tend to seek consensus in decisions, but I sense we are not so different.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the rest of the officer and steps aside in order to give more room to the visitors::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::rolls over in her sleep::
CNS_Ens_C`Triel says:
::follows the group and watches not only her fellow crewmen, but the ch'Than, too::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
k'Ris: Yes Sir. In the end most beings are more alike than they would often like to admit. Some are just more reluc...er, some just take slightly different views.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: pulls the throw up to her neck as she dreams the nicest dreams ::
Host k`Ris says:
CSO: Regrettably, I am familiar with what you say. ::frowns, remembering::
Host k`Ris says:
