<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission – Shore Leave Dinner >>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::tugs at his jacket:: Waiter: No...no... that fork is not straight! ::sighs and moves to correct it himself::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::pulls at his uncomfortable uniform as he tries to find the dining hall::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::stalks around the science lab in his dress uniform::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: Is the pate set?

Waiter says:
XO: Is that the duck pate or the gagh pate?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: The duck pate... I don't think the gagh one is meant to be solid...

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::wonders if he should ask for directions but decides that would show weakness so decides to keep faith in his sense of direction::

Waiter says:
XO: Er... ::pushes a finger onto the pate:: Yep. All set. Nice and firm.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Wearing dress whites, white being a color he can pull off well, enters the dining establishment he was ordered to be at::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::looks across the room as the CMO enters:: CMO: Doctor Bauer, welcome

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::tugs at his uniform, sure it's a little tighter than last he wore it::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Looks around the restaurant, searching for his party::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Ah, there you are.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::spots a white uniform walking into a  room a little further ahead and follows it in::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::closes off the comm channel and puts the folder away, the last of the paperwork done.....the quartermaster wasn't happy, but that's for a later day::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Approaches the table:: XO: Where would you like me to sit?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CMO: Anywhere, Doctor. I thought about name places but then decided against it

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Informal is good. ::Smiles and takes a vacant chair::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::enters the dining hall and sees a familiar face fussing over the arrangements::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::twiddles with settings on a small experiment he is running::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::eyeing the dress uniform angrily, he stands up and grabs the hanger thinking he needs to have a little chat with Ren about dinner protocols::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::notices a face he had not seen in a while:: CSO: Lieutenant Powers.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Settles into the seat, takes the linen napkin neatly folded beside his plate and lies it across his lap::

Waiter says:
Bauer: Would you like a beverage, sir?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Who's idea was it to wear dress whites at the same time as we are all about to try and get food into our mouths without soiling our uniforms.

Waiter says:
CMO: Or perhaps a tasty snack?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir. I would say that I'm reporting for duty but I'm not sure that's appropriate in this setting.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::hopes that maybe no one will notice him missing::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: Bottled water, if you please, my good man.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Shouldn't we wait for the others before ordering?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::glances back at Bauer, a genuine smile on his face:: CMO: Ah, Doctor, you see there is an old saying in my house. If you cannot eat udon with your best kimono on, you should eat with the pigs

Waiter says:
CMO: Yes Sir, of course. ::presents the requested drink::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: Thank you.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CSO: Good enough place, Lieutenant. Take a seat

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Well, I'll do my best but, I may need to excuse myself to the pig's table.

Waiter says:
XO: Sir, are you sure you are comfortable with the beetroot salad for starters... with the white uniforms?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::Glances over at the Waiter:: Waiter: Yes, of course

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Sees a Lieutenant joining the table and doesn't think he knows him:: CSO: Hello, Lieutenant.

Waiter says:
XO: Me and some of the other staff have a poll going on to see who stains their uniform first!

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::whispers:: Waiter: What are the current odds?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: Well, it won't be me.  Do you think you could be so kind as to bring me a second cloth napkin, that way I'll have double the coverage.

Waiter says:
XO: 3-1 on it being the Captain.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::taps o few buttons on a control panel:: Loud: Lets see what happens here then,,,,

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: Hello, Sir. I'm Lt Powers. The new CSO... though I held your position not too long ago.

ACTION: CIV loads up Tetris, current high score held by Bruk, Ferengi Barman.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: Welcome.  ::Looks at XO then back at CSO:: No shortage of Doctors on the Scimitar, is there?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
All: Did anyone see Captain Wuer in their stroll over here?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Who?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Waiter: I'd say the smart money is on me. I've had to borrow this uniform... not sure what happened to the last one.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Oh yes, him.  No, can't say as I did.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::strolls into the room, scratching his neck....the drycleaner must have used too much starch::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::watches his little experiment start to glow red hot::  Loud: What the!

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::frowns and notices the CO:: CO: Captain Rome! Did your meeting finish early?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: You certainly won't have to look far for a second opinion anyway.

Waiter says:
CSO: Whose is it?

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Commander. Yes, for now. Tomorrow we will deal with the rest. ::manages a smile:: I thought I should drop by. Oh and Commander?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CO: Yes sir?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::leans in:: XO: Next time, no dress uniforms.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Waiter: My ex-wife's new husband.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::suppresses a smile:: CO: Standard protocol for formal dinners, sir.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: It will be nice to know I have backup, in case I feel like goofing off one day.

Waiter says:
CSO: Would you like a too-full glass of red wine then, Sir?

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Not when I host. ::grins::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Waiter: Actually, I would like a beer. Something cold and stouty.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CO: Aye, Captain ::returns the smile:: Now, if you will excuse me, I have an officer to deal with

Waiter says:
CO: The usual then, Sir?

CO Capt. Rome says:
Waiter: Good man.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Waiter: I think that would be good to start with, thank you.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
;;gets thrown half-way across the lab by the small explosion::

Waiter says:
::hands a dainty glass of wine over the the CSO and a big chugging beer-mug to the CO::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Takes a roll from a bread basket on the table, tears it in half, putting one half back in the basket.  He starts to tear small pieces of roll off and places them in his mouth::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO: Mr. Powers, where are your transfer orders? ::deadpan::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
*CIV*: Lieutenant Commander Ro'kar to Captain Wuer. Being fashionably late is only for those that are fashionable, sir

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes the mug from the waiter and takes a large sip::

Waiter says:
::looks longingly at the COs beer::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Err... in my quarters here on the starbase, I think... sir.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::gets up from the floor and brushes his singed uniform and taps his comm. badge:: *XO*: Yes, Commander on my way...

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO: Then bring them by tomorrow. ::smiles:: Welcome back Doctor....or is it just Lieutenant now ?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
*CIV*: Excellent. Executive Dining Room two. Ro'kar out

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::walks out to the TL, heading to the gathering::

Waiter says:
::sidesteps slowly closer to the COs beer::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: I think that in respect to the current CMO, it should probably be just Lieutenant, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles and extends his hand:: CSO: Good to have you back, Lieutenant Powers.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Thank you sir. ::shakes the CO's hand while trying to remember if he's the one from this universe or the alternate one::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: If you decide you want the position, I'd give you Sickbay.  I'd be just as happy in the Counsellor's office.  I'm versatile.  ::He sips his water::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
;;wonders if the marks on his tunic are too noticeable::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::returns to the group and hides his disappointment::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: That's a very gracious offer, sir. I'll give it some thought. I must admit that I've never been a CSO in all my lives.

Waiter says:
XO: Food is ready as soon as you are, Sir. ::nods::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: We might as well start then. Please bring out the starter

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes a large sip of his beer, smiling as his crew seems to enjoy the time off together::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CO/CSO: Captain. Lieutenant, if you would like to take a seat, we are going to begin the meal

Waiter says:
::brings out the beetroot salad starter:: All; Dun-uh!

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Thank you, Ren.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::walks off from the TL and heads into the dining room:: Loud: Evening

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes his seat::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: I've been an MD for awhile but, this is my first posting as a medic so, we have that in common.  Two fish out of their own waters. ::Smiles and raises his water glass to the CSO and takes a sip::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::puts his arm over the singes, forgetting about his dishevelled hair::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::takes a seat next to the CMO and raises his glass of wine before drinking some of it::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Captain Wuer, nice of you to join us tonight.

Waiter says:
::Serves people in turn::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: Thank you, it looks delicious ::notices the CIV:: CIV: Welcome, Captain, please take a seat we were about to start

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CO: Captain Rome, thank you for the invitation, wouldn't missed it for the world ::hopes his sarcasm isn't noticed::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::grins:: CIV: I would have chosen slacks and some chicken wings over some football myself.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: None of that for me, please.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::takes his seat:: CO: Football?

Waiter says:
CMO: Would you prefer something else, Sir?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::wrinkles his nose at the idea of chicken wings and football::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Oh yes. I'll invite you over one night, I have the Captain's mess ready.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: Please.  Could you just bring me a small green salad, nothing weird in it, please, and some fat free Italian dressing on the side?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CMO: Do you not eat beetroot, Doctor Bauer?

Waiter says:
CMO: Are kernels 'weird'? Celery?

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CO: Sounds like fun, my father was part human, I have heard of this earth game although I have never played.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: I don't eat anything I don't know, Sir.  What is beetroot?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: It's a date....a very manly date that is.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: Romaine, tomato, cucumber and celery is fine, no kernels of anything, please.  They aren't necessary.

Waiter says:
::gets a salad for the CMO::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::tries some of the beetroot salad, not worrying about getting any on his uniform::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::smiles:: CSO: It is a Earth grown root food, full of nutrients and antioxidants. Reduces the risk of heart disease

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CO: Sounds like fun, my father also taught me the game ru... rugby I think they call it

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Then you can teach me the rules. ::raises his glass::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: If you spill that on your uniform and then put it in the recycler, will everybody's underwear start coming out of the replicators pink?  ::Smiles::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: There's only one way to find out for sure.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Oh, you mean, beets.  No, never liked those.

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Commander, since you orchestrated this dinner. I think it is appropriate you entertain us with a speech of sorts.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: Do it.  I can wear anything.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::eats some of the salad carefully::

Waiter says:
XO: Are you sure you want crumpets? Personally I don't think they follow on from Beetroot.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CO: Hmm? Um... ::clears his throat:: Of course, Captain

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::looks at the Waiter confused and thinks:: Who chose this menu? I am sure I didn't ask for those

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Starts in on his salad, holding a napkin under his chin::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::lets some of the beetroot drop onto his leg:: Waiter: I expect a cut of your winnings for this.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: There should be a course between the crumpets and salad

Waiter says:
CSO: You just made me lose! I had bet on the Captain!

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::looks over at the CSO:: CSO: I guess that you are our new science chief?

Waiter says:
XO: Oh yes, Sorry. Tart.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Waiter: You can't say I didn't warn you. I did tell you where the smart money was.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: What did you call me?

Waiter says:
XO: Fruitcake?

CO Capt. Rome says:
Waiter: What bet ?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CIV: Yes, that's right. I'm Lt.Powers.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Laughs:: CSO: I can't believe you did that.  What will you tell your brother in law, is it?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::narrows eyes:: Waiter: That is not what I heard

Waiter says:
CO: Er a bet to see which of you would stain their uniforms first. XO: No sir. Crumpets next. Then your choice of fruitcake? Strange menu I'd say.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: Ex-wife's new man. I'll tell him where he can shove it... if you'll pardon my French.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CSO: Welcome aboard Lt., I started in science myself

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
Waiter: Very well, bring the crumpets. And when we are done, could you send me the contact address of the caterer for this dinner?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: Maybe sent it back to him pink.

Waiter says:
XO: I thought you chose the menu Sir? ::brings out crumpets::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CIV: Thank you. I may call on you for assistance from time to time then.

Waiter says:
CO: Crumpet? Tart? Fruitcake?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::sighs, muttering:: Self: No... no I didn't

Waiter says:
CO: We also have some spotted dick.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Looking around the table:: CO: Captain!  When did you get here?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: A little cosmetic surgery and I can take care of that for you.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CSO: I would be more than happy CSO was my first Senior Staff position after I finished my research at Starfleet Academy

CO Capt. Rome says:
Waiter: Not touching that one. Just bring me a steak, something rare. And more stout. I'm the Captain.

Waiter says:
CO: Yes sir.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Waiter: I wouldn't mind a couple of tarts if there are any about.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CMO: A pleasure as always, doctor. ::laughs::

Waiter says:
CMO: It's not a trifling matter. CSO: Yes Sir, of course.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CIV: I started out in sickbay but have also been in engineering, flight control and now this. All in this current host as well.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: Tarts?  Is it desert time already?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CMO: Don't. Ask. Doctor.

Waiter says:
::brings out a meaty tart for the CSO::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Sees what the CSO is going to eat and grimaces at the thought::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: That's not quite what I was expecting.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
CSO: Tarts are never what you expect, Lieutenant

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CSO: I thought you were requesting a shapely waitress.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CMO: So did I.

Waiter says:
CMO: Perhaps you'd prefer a fruitcake?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Waiter: Don't worry, I'll probably still leave you a tip.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Waiter: The fruitcake used to be the CSO but he's left now.

Waiter says:
::lets out a snigger::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
::almost chokes on his Bajoran Ale::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CSO: My previous host was once CMO, although my doctorate is science, rather than medical, who did you work under at the academy?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::pushes his half eaten salad away, not hungry any more::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CIV: I studied medicine on Trill before going to the academy. I was trained for other tasks at the academy which I'm not at liberty to discuss I'm afraid.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro`kar says:
All: Well, at least the company has been good. ::drinks another swig of his Bajoran Ale:: Pity about the menu choice, maybe I did order it... but I should have done it in Federation standard... not Vulcan ancient script for 'fun'

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CSO: May I ask are you joined?
