:: In the Captain's Chair ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::At the helm, marking time until they arrive in-system::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Reads over some rudimentary reports, his skin a little more tanned thanks to his time on Trill ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  29 minutes from the Argenius system sir.

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
CO: All systems are nominal, Sir.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Walks back to his office::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Thank you, Ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: Has Starfleet provided you with any additional information about this race?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Are our guest diplomatic quarters ready?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Watches the CMO walk off::  OPS: The Doctor is trolling again.  You up to date on your exams?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: How long will it take us to get from Argenius to Hiltari?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Yes sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Excellent.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  approximatly 3 days sir.

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
FCO: I think i may have givien him more than he expected last time.  So, im hoping he doesn't come back for more punishment.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Looks at the PADD in his hand, going over a supply list and a list of potential "victims"::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
*Senior Staff*: During the course of this evening we'll be holding a diplomatic meal in the Captain's mess with the Melridian Ambassador. All are expected to attend in dress uniforms. Captain Muir out.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Cringes at the thought of wearing the dress whites again::

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
FCO: Oh great, dress uniform again.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
OPS:  Yeah, tell me about it.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Ask the galley to prepare a suitible meal for the Melridian Ambassador's race, and to dress the Captain's Mess accordingly.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::looks at the captain:: CO: A diplomatic meal? So i guess we wont be ordering pizza tonight?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Most species don't share your aversion to wearing clothing, Mr. Whittiker. If you want to have a successful career in Starfleet I fear you'll have to come to terms with others inhibitions.

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: Physically, both races are very different.  The Melridian homeworld is made up of predominantly swamp and marshland.  The Melridians themselves are an amphibious reptilian species, similar to the Selay.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Not quite, no.

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
CO: You forget, I didn't apply to starfleet.  My government assigned me here.  I already have a very successful career.

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: The Hiltari live on a desert planet.  The Hiltari themselves are avian in appearance.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Regardless it makes for a fitting way of passing the time while the Ambassador is aboard.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: If you have a problem with following your duties aboard the Seleya I could ask for you to be reassigned.

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: Naturally, because of the makeup of their planets, both races have something the other one wants; water for the Hiltari, in exchange for crystalline gems formed by the dust and sand of the Hiltari homeworld for the Melridians.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CO and OPS exchange and wonders why so many people feel its necessary to remind everyone else of how accomplished they are.::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: Can you tell me anything about their conflict?

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
CO: That will not be neccesary.  My duties are not a problem.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Gives Whittiker a "This is one of those times you should let the issue die." looks::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Then I'll see you in the Captain's mess at 2000 in your dress uniform, Ensign.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
Self: CSO...CNS too I think. ::Makes a note to check his database::

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  ::Has not turned to face the CO during this entire exchange, just continued with his work, totally unconcerned.::

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: There has been no direct conflict, sir.  However, both parties have been guilty of the occasional raid, although no-one was ever sure who actually started it.  The blame is firmly placed by one race upon the other.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Sounds familiar...::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: Ah, understood. Well, this doesn't sound too difficult.

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
FCO: Message recieved and understood.  ::quietly::

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: It never does, sir.  ::smiles chagrinly, and turns back to the viewscreen::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: nods ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods at the OPS::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  System entry in 10 minutes...mark.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Understood. Keep me apprised.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Open a channel to the Melridian Ambassador.

SM-Lyon is now known as AMD_SssThs.

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:

@::lounges in his relaxation pool, waiting for the Federation people to arrive::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Comm: MA: Good day to you, Your Excellency. This is Captain Muir of the Federation Starship Seleya. We're currently about 10 minutes away from your location. I trust the appropriate measures have been taken for your expediant departure?

Host AMB_SssThs says:
@::glances over at the screen next to his pool:: COM: CO: Yes it there has, thank you for asking, Captain. I will be ready for departure as soon as you come into orbit.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:

Host AMB_SssThs says:
ACTION: The Seleya makes her stately way to the planet, entering orbit with no fuss.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Take us into a standard orbit.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Standard orbit aye sir.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Pilots the Seleya into orbit like no one else can.::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::exits the TL and makes his way to transporter room 2::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Inform the Ambassador's staff that we are ready to receive him?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::enters the transporter room and waits for the ambassador to arrive::

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
CO: Aye Sir.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
@::walks through the corridors to the reception rooms of his house:: Staff: We'll be leaving shortly, be ready.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
*OPS* Understood ::nods to the chief::

Host AMB_SssThs says:
@COM: OPS: I will have someone give you lessons. SssThs out.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
ACTION: The Ambassador and his entourage beam on board, lookking around the transporter room with wonder.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Should we wait until the ambassador and his staff are secured and tended to before we break orbit sir?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::takes note of how many people are infront of him then picks SssThs out:: Ambassador: Welcome aboard the USS Seleya, i am Commander Darklighter, i'll be showing you to your quarters.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
::bows to the Commander:: XO: We are grateful for your hospitality, Commander. Please, lead the way.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::returns the ambassador's bow and motions to the door:: Ambassador: This way please ::exits the transporter room::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: I see no need for that precaution.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Set a course and engage.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Inform planetary security we're breaking orbit.

CNS_Modalis says:
::frowns a little::

Host AMB_SssThs says:
::hisses a command to his staff and follows the Commander, his entourage trailing behind::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::punches in the course and breaks orbit::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Waits to get confirmation from the surface before entering Warp::

COM: Security: And may your waters be warm.  Seleya Out.  FCO: Permission to depart has been granted.

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: Captain, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I'm sensing something from the Melridians.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
ACTION: As soon as the Seleya is at safe range, she goes to warp with a brigt flash.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Pushes the Seleya into Warp, headed for the Hiltari system::  OPS:  alright, thank you ensign.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
XO: Your ship is quite sophisticated.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: Elaborate?

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Smiles to the FCO, light glinting off his tooth::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Ambassador: This ship class is top of the line in starfleet. ::exits the TL and makes his way to the guest quarters::

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: I'm not sure, sir.  It's.....uncomfortable.  The nearest thing I can describe it to is their homeworld.....murky and dank.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: I'll keep that in mind, hopefully it doesn't mean anything.

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: It's nothing significant, sir.  I think it's just the way they think.  I'll let you know if I sense anything else.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
XO: At least your Federation sends just the best. I like it.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: Thank you, Ensign.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::reaches the quarters and turns to the ambassador:: Ambassador: These are the quarters we've prepaired for you, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything else, also the captain will be holding a dinner in your honor tonight at 20:00 hours.

CO: Sir.

CNS_Modalis says:
::opens her eyes, a little surprised at the intrusion, and slightly mortified by the comment itself.  Shakes her head and forces Whittiker out::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::he opens the door for the ambassador, nods and steps back::

OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Smiles to himself at the CNS's reaction::

Host AMB_SssThs says:
::nods at the Commander and enters the suite, looking around at the decorations:: Self: it will do. The lighting is a bit bright. ::sighs::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
*CO* Darklighter to Muir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
*XO* Muir here.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
*CO* Our guests are settled in, i'm returning to the bridge now.

Host AMB_SssThs says:
::hisses a number of commands at his staff and they start scurrying about, unpacking the bags and redecorating the suite to the Ambassador's preferences. One manages to figure out how to lower the lighting.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
*XO* Outstanding, Commander.
