XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Pulls on his tunic and heads out of his quarters to the umbilical connecting the Seleya to the Station. ::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Heads over to the TL, waiting for it to arrive. ::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::walks down from the restaurant area, toward Richmond's office. Stops to make sure her hair is properly tied in a pony tail and that her uniform is wrinkless::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
::sat in his office:: Taq'fan: Thank you for coming at such short notice, ambassador.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Walks along the promenade looking for what has become his favourite coffee shop::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> Richmond: Of course, Commander.  This situation is as urgent for us as it is beneficial for you.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::wonders into a near by coffee shop::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Walks down the hallway reading quarterly business reports, sipping on some horrid concoction of pureed maggots.::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Hops into the TL and heads through the Restaurant area towards the Commanders office. ::
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::Walks out of the shuttle bay, his bag over his shoulder - sneering at anyone who looks at him funny::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
ACTION: As McKnight enters the coffee shop, he catches sight of an incredibly beautiful Centauran woman.  She smiles at him
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Wandering through the starbase's wide corridors, closing in on the shopping area::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Enters the coffee shop and walks over to the counter::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::notices a somewhat familiar face in the crowd and approaches the XO:: XO: Commander Aan?
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Carries his duffle bag, walking towards the docking bay, eyes wandering all over the place::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Walks past Gomes, not noticing her, then turns to answer. ::  CO: Hmm?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::unsure of what is the best approach but trying not to seem doubtful, she extends her hand:: XO: I am Commander Gomes, I am glad we got to meet before the meeting
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Nods to the Waitress:: Waitress: Raktajino please.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Puts a name to the face. :: CO:  Oh...Commander Gomes.  Sorry, I was expecting to meet you in the commander’s office.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Looks into his cup and finds it empty.:: Self: A coffee shop... a bar... meh, coffee's better than nothing ::walks into the coffee shop and to the barista.:: Barista: Iced Rigelian Coffee please.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::returns the centauran's  smile, not sure what else to do as he continues to the counter::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Motions down the corridor towards Richmond’s office. ::  CO:  We should talk on the way.
Dave (~Dave@odn-96A4C9E.renf.adsl.ntlworld.com) has joined the conversation.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: So was I, but I had an unexpected invitation for dinner. It is best we move and talk, I don't want to start this assignment by being late
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> ::watches McKnight approach and continues to catch his eye, smiling all the while::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
Barista: Thank you ::smiles toothily and sits down with his business reports at a small bar table.::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::follows Aan:: XO: though all Starbases look essentially alike, I will trust you to lead the way on this one
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods, and continues to walk, in silence.  Seems to be a little distracted. ::  CO:  Settling in?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Takes his coffee and goes over to his seat by the window::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::orders his coffee while looking back at the centauran::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: That’s an overstatement. I arrived less than an hour ago. I didn't even get to see the Seleya yet
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::purposefully walks down the hall of the docking area, grumbling to himself::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Notices Ensign McKNight and Lieutenant Atreides. What in the world is McKnight looking at?::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::wonders if she is talking too much, but then convinces herself whatever image she puts out must be her own::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia>  ::leans towards McKnight::  You're Starfleet, aren't you?
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Looking at the shop windows, wondering whether he would see anything he could use on this new assignment::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Listens to McKnight and the Centauran's conversation. Is this a pickup?::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods again. ::  CO:  Right, right, let me know if you need anything, I'll help with the transition until your up to speed on the crew.  Did you at least get my report on the Darkness?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::looks around for some familiar faces and gestures for Orpax to join him::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes a moment to study Aan as he is to be her right hand in the foreseeable future... if only she were a telepath::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Why yes I am, what gave it away? ::realises how stupid he looks after asking that, as he's in his uniform::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::a store catches his eyes as he walks towards the docking bay of the Seleya. Rugs, pictures, statues, the scent coming out of the store, he decides to walk in::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: You mean, apart from the uniform?  ::she runs a finger gently down his chest::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: Yes I did, a very complete report Commander. I will certainly need your assistance in the comming months should we have to deal with this Darkness force. Do you have any speculations on what they want?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Waves to Atreides and walks over, canting his head to still listen to McKnight's conversation.:: CMO: Call me a horrible nosy gossip but with these lobes I cant help but overhear McKnight and that woman...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Notices McKnight and the Centauran and watches them:: FCO: I'm sure you're enjoying every minute of it.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 Self: Time off...she needs time off...what she really needs is a good....right on top of that desk of hers...argh!
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Shrugs. ::  CO:  Death, destruction, worship, power, the usual it seems.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: How this old thing, I’m so used to it sometimes i forget I’m wearing it ::sips his coffee::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
CO:  To be honest, I don’t know very much, other than what we gleaned from our encounter with them.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: There's nothing like being able to hear... ::laughs and nearly spits out coffee.:: CMO: Oh Paul, I wish you could hear this.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> ::smiles seductively::  CEO: I could never miss such a strong man in uniform  ::purrs gently to him::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: What's she saying?
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Spots a nice looking plate in one of the windows and decides to step inside to see whether they have more things like it::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Stops in front of Richmond’s office and turns to the CO. ::  CO:  I do, however, know they're going to prove a very dangerous influence in this quadrant, perhaps more dire then even the Borg or Dominion.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: You can speculate, there is nothing like trying to get into your enemy's head ::smiles:: XO: I guess we are getting close to Commander Richmond's office?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: About how she loves a strong man in uniform. ::begins to chuckle quietly.::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Well I’m not security officer but i do keep myself in shape ::smiles nervously:: So I’m Starfleet as you guessed, what do you do yourself, if i may ask of course?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
CO:  If I've learned anything, there's nothing more dangerous than religious zealots, and that seems to be what they intend here.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: I'm a businesswoman.  ::smiles::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Ah, one of those. Wouldn't surprise me if he'll wake up in strange quarters somewhere stripped of all his latinum... Want to give it a couple more minutes?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::turning serious now:: XO: Even religion has an ultimate goal. If we find it we are half way to victory
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Absolutely, I want to hear this haha. Apparently she's a businesswoman... not my type. I cant believe women are allowed to do business. It's horrible.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::a very rude couple brush past Jace, knocking him into the same store currently patroned by the CTO - curses soon follow, carrying throughout the store::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
CO:  Against the zealots perhaps, but the darkness is another matter.  Even in its weakened state, it nearly destroyed the Seleya with ease.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: I'm sure they're allowed to do this kind of business on Ferenginar as well. ::chuckles slightly and has some more of his coffee::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
<Store clerk> CTO: Any help there ::Looks closer:: Commander?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::suddenly fells an unknown surge of confidence:: Folia: Well I’d like to hear more about this business, i bet your the type who gets what she wants in a deal ::sips his coffee without breaking the lock his eyes has set on hers::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods:: XO: I understand that underestimating them is what we want to avoid ::walks on looking around for Richmond's door::
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Looks at the various decorative items on sale in the shop, finally spotting the small plate from the shop window::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks at Richmond’s office, wondering if what’s going to happen in there this time. ::  CO: Guess we should get to it then.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Chimes the door. ::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Oh, you have no idea.  ::sips her drink, almost imperceptibly licking her lips before she does so::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Oh no... He’s commenting on how a woman like her... "Gets what she wants." Kill me, ugh.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
::hears the chime::  Come in!
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods:: XO: I'm glad we had this conversation though ::waits for someone to open the door::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
Store Clerk: Just looking around, thanks ::Closes up on one of the gold chains on display:: amazing!!
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Reminds me, I've been breeding some of the insects you gave me a while ago, I've gotten them to be about 50% larg...We could always go to another shop.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::motions for the XO to go first::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Opens the door and steps inside, then waits for Gomes to enter before approaching Richmond’s desk. ::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO/XO: Commander, Lieutenant, thank you for joining us.  Please take a seat.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::goes in after Aan and stands looking at Richmond and the Ambassador::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::sips his coffee:: Folia: I'm sure i don't, so tell me, what type of business?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Really? Wow, that's amazing, how are you breeding them like that... and between you and me... no way would I leave in the middle of something like this, it's too rich! hahaha!
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods at Richmond and takes the seat on the left. ::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond: Thank you ::seats down, right of Aan::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: right to the point, I like it
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::takes a sip of his Rigelian coffee.:: CMO: Oh my, that's good.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::upset and flustered, Jace picks up his bag and storms over to the counter, shouldering past the CTO in the process::  Clerk: Did you see that, did you just see what happened there.  I want to file a complaint...no, assault charges...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: I just hope for your sake that you won't have to see Kesh about anything you overhear between those too. I've been selectively breeding them and optimised their nutrition...Really? 
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 Clerk: I'm just minding my own business and all of a sudden I'm shoved into this store, onto the floor...by a...a...well I don't know what he, she...it was.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> Usually precious materials, rare fibres, jewellery, that sort of thing.  It's highly lucrative.  I could teach the odd Ferengi a thing or two.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO/XO: I'd like you both to meet Ambassador Taq'fan, from the Taq'uah Alliance.  The ambassador will accompany you on your next mission.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Ah, so would you be a treasure hunter of sorts?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks at the alien and nods. ::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the Ambassador:: Ambassador: We will be honoured to have you
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Oh that's awesome, the beetles sound delectable and... What did she just say? She just said she's better at business than a Ferengi... the haughty female... ::clenches his fists.::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> ::looks hurt:: Oh, no.  It's all entirely legitimate, I assure you.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::stands straight, looking at OPS, eyes turning greenish he stares down at the OPS::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CO: The honour is mine, Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Ignore it, I'm sure she's just trying to yank your chain a little, you're giggling so much half the store's looking. If you like I'll show you them when we're back on the Seleya, the spiders I've been keeping seem to like them.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::notices the CTO and gives him a nasty glare::  CTO: And what's your problem...::looking him up and down searching for the proper descriptor, he notices the rank on the collar::...aww ::unintelligible::.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: No non-Ferengi challenges my lobes when it comes to business, especially a female... I'll keep my cool though. And yes, I would absolutely love to see the bugs, they sound like they're very wonderful and healthy!
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Picks up the plate and walks towards the counter::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::holds up his hand:: Folia: That's not what i meant, there's plenty of treasure hunters who do the job legally, called in when an ancient site is found, you know the sort, fine, fit, athletic people like yourself ::grins::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO/XO: I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to ask him a few questions before your mission.  However, your mission is the most pressing matter.  Three Taq'uah ships, the Sla'nistra, the Faq'at and the Miz'nareal were all attacked by a race called the Ritanai, who are known to be in league with the Darkness.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO/XO: We have been asked by the Taq'uah government to assist in a salvage operation of the three vessels.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::sighs:: OPS: Lieutenant, is there a problem?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::listens intently with questions already popping in her mind::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: brow furrowed. :: Richmond:  Darkness followers?  In this quadrant already?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Ooh, you do know how to treat a lady, don't you?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: They are, scared some kid who somehow managed to get into the lab after visiting sickbay...Luckily it happened while I was off duty. I'm sure you're far better at business than she is, and she'll be begging you for tips once she's finished with poor McKnight over there.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: He's complimenting her... do Human and Centauran... parts even mix like that? And apparently she's complimented... oh my.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Haha! Thank you for your compliments, but I'm just here for the show ::winks:: and is the kid OK?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Well i know how not to treat a lady, i'm not to sort who brings a club and carries them home over his shoulder. ::sips his coffee::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks over at Gomes, then back to Richmond and Taq'uah. ::  Richmond:  They didnt waste any time, did they?
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Spots a nice poster size photograph of a starbase on his way to the counter and decides to buy it too::
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 CTO: ...nothing important  ::mutters an apology, clearly not sincere::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
XO: Absolutely not.  Consequently it's imperative that the Taq'uah's technology does not fall into enemy hands.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: He's being a bit creepy... he said that he's not the kind of guy who... bashes girls over the head with a club...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Have you ever read the inter-species protocol? You'd be surprised at some of the things it says in there. Kid's fine just scared of bugs now, I'm going to refer him to Kesh at some point, I think she likes children, I hope she does anyway...
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Not unless I ask you to?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::for the moment just listens, knowing the XO will have much more pertinent questions than her::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
Richmond:  How long ago did they loose the ships?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond: what evidence do you have that they are in league with the Darkness and using their technology?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
XO: Two days.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Well, as i said, i'm no security officer but i keep myself in shape ::winks::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Oh by the Nagus’s lobes, she's a freak! She's asking him to hit her over the head with a club and carry her away! What's wrong with her! And he's responding to it!... someone needs therapy...
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the OPS, and senses the youth in him:: OPS: Lieutenant Commander Abdel-Hamid, chief tactical officer ::extends his hand::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'uah> CO: We already know they are linked telepathically.  We believe that the Darkness controls them this way.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Really? Interesting, he might be in for more fun than I thought then.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: And how do you do that......officer?  ::she rests a hand on his knee and runs her finger seductively down his chest again::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Taq'uah: I see. though we must be sure they are truly guilty and not being used as puppets
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::wary, shakes the offered hand::  CTO: I suppose I should count my blessings you weren't a Captain...that's usually my luck.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Think you'll be able to keep a straight face once we return to duty?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Gets a decidedly unpleased look. ::  ALL:  Telepathy.....figures.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Maybe... she's not my type though, and with a personality that likes to abuse people... definite no. And now she's going for the finish... asking him "how he keeps in shape."
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
Taq'uah: If our technology and our intelligence on the Darkness' defence systems falls into their hands it will not matter if they are puppets or masters.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond: We will be the first on the scene?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Sure... I know worse things about some of our crewmembers that I've dug out of the records...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: I really didn't need to know that.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO: Yes.  The Seleya will be accompanied by the U.S.S. Adrienne.  You will also be receiving a mission specialist, Commander Sillam Adarool.  He will be joining you before you leave.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond/Taq'uah: I agree we must save our intelligence. But let us use the opportunity to gather data as well ...
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Finally reaches the counter and pays the two items with his credits, then leaves the shop again, heading back to his temporary quarters on the starbase to drop off the items::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Why did I pick the coffee shop? I should have gone into the bar. ::sips his drink.::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Looks at his coffee and pours it over the nearest plant after noticing it's cold::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CO: If you stay to try and learn about them, you will die.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Too early to start drinking, give it another hour or so.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: That plant will be dead by tomorrow. You Hooligan.
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Watches her surroundings in panic as she desperately looks at her chronometer, willing it to turn back in time. With a frustrated scream, smiling nervously at the bizarre looks she received she quickly makes her way toward the Captain location. At least that's where the Computer claimed she is, with her luck the computer might be against her as well. She quickly breaks into a run as she falls back on her Keterian instincts, narrowly avoiding hitting a dangerous looking Klingon only to hit an equally scary looking Bolian. Muttering an apology she quickly notices her destination dead ahead, slowing down she pauses before the door. Considering asking for permission a quick look at her chronometer quickly causes her to forget that idea. Bursting in, she quickly renders herself speechless at the amount of officers beside her Captain:
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
: CO: Uh. Captain? I'm terribly so-- ::Quiets down at the looks she received::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: So they'll bill me for it, big deal.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
::notices Ivanova but does not say anything::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Anyway those things probably have worse things poured over them in the wild.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Laughs lightly at OPS:: OPS: Everything happens for a reason, Lieutenant
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Oh I just workout a lot in my free time, it used to be a necessity awhile ago but i'm just so used to it i haven't stopped.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Big deal indeed. So are you married, or have a significant other? Or just a guy flying solo through space?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Taq'fan: We will find that out. All: I will not jeopardize my crew but I am interested in the truth
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia>  ::leans in to McKnight::  CEO: I have an idea.  I know just the place where you can show me how you work out...
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks at the impossibly young yeoman and then at Gomes, then back to the CIV::  CIV:  Wait for us outside, Yeoman.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Uh...Divorced, why?
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 CTO: Yeah, well lately the universe's reason for existing is to screw me over...and it's not the first time.  ::sighs and turns to the clerk::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Really? ::raises an eyebrow:: And where might that be?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Oh please no... McKnight, don’t... she wants to "show him how he works out." dear God. And I was just wondering, making chitchat.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 Clerk: Look, I'm...sorry...just forget you ever met me, that should be easy enough.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::eyes the yeoman, realizing the interruption. If only looks could kill....::
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Blinks innocently at the XO's direction, she grins and immediately dismisses him from her attention::  CO: Captain, if I may have a moment of you time... There's a REALLY big problem with something you gave me. ::Nods gravely at the serious of the situation::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CO: Then you will find the truth.  And you will not like the truth.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::grabs the pendant he was looking at prior, and makes the transaction with the store clerk. Then makes way out to the coffee shop::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Lucky him, I'll bet you my holodeck time for the next two weeks that she'll strip him off most he's worth or at least cause something he'll have to see me about. So, what about you? You got anyone?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Turns back to the rest of the room. ::  ALL:  We all know the score, but simply reacting to the Darkness isn’t going to get the job done.  The Captains right, we need to know more about what were fighting.  At the moment, we don’t even have a means to combat the Darkness entity itself.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::mutters to himself:: OPS: Then we shall meet again
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV:  As you were told, please wait outside. ::does not even blink::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: I'm single at the moment. I would never have time to see them anyway. Was your wife human?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
XO: Which is why we're salvaging the Taq'uah vessels, Lieutenant.  The Faq'at contains vital information about their defensive and communicative systems.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: She still is the last time I checked, but you never know!
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::didn't quite catch the last statement as the CTO left the store, but gathers up his back and leaves just as ticked off as he was this morning::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::turns back to the room, ignoring Ivanova for now:: Richmond/Ambassador: Hopefully after two days the information we need will still be there
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Come with me.  :she jumps off the stool and playfully taps McKnight on the knee as she walks past::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: I do wonder, why this wait
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Looks insulted, she mumbles something about arrogant, selfish, knowitall, stupid Captains. She grins widely at Commander Richmond's direction before turning around and leaving the office in a huff::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond/Ambassador: I apologize for my ...yeoman. She is under medication
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Oh, she's taking him somewhere...
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. :: Richmond:  I understand sir, and I agree.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO: The wait has been because it took 36 hours for the Taq'uah to discover the information was still aboard the Faq'at.  Now we know for certain we can begin our mission.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: I can see that. ::Makes a note about advising the CEO about his personal habits on a PADD then smiles at the FCO::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Grins back. I'm glad I picked the coffee shop. ::pours his cold drink out of the nearest Ficus.::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::finishes his coffee and looks at Folia pass by:: Self: I've never been lucky, this is wrong ::gets off his stool and turns::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: looks from Richmond to Gomes. ::  CO/Richmond:  Then we should get underway as quickly as possible, there are more than Darkness agents to worry about when it comes to unclaimed wreckage.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: You know, I'm starting to think I'm a bad influence on you...
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond: I understand. Then I guess we better get started. ::looks at the XO then back at Richmond:: Richmond: What is our ETA?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO: Fourteen hours at maximum warp.  That should be enough time before the Ritanai get there.  Their ship was forced to retreat due to heavy damage.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Nah, you don’t even know what I do for a living... CEO: HEY MCKNIGHT! Is that you? ::shouting as he runs by::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> ::walks along the promenade, allowing McKnight to follow her until she reaches a cupboard in a quiet area of the starbase::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and turns to the XO:: XO: I believe we are ready to leave as soon as the crew is back aboard?
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Stares blankly at the door, seemingly lost in thought::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: You're a Ferengi, you're probably involved in so much stuff you don't even know yourself, so was our stay here lucrative for you?
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Walks into the coffee shop, eyes scan the whole place in a second and makes his mental notes. grabs his coffee and takes a seat, then begins working on his security teams and upcoming training::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::begins walking to the door and halts as the FCO shouts:: FCO: Jeez you’re loud.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO: I have arranged for immediate departure of the Seleya.  The Adrienne is en route and should join you about 2 hours after your arrival.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. ::  CO:  Most of those on leave were in the process of recall already, in anticipation of the mission, we should be ready in no time.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
XO: Excellent.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Well, according to my business reports... yes it was... I have a surrogate entity running the company though. CEO: What brings you to the coffee shop? Gee, you're fit these days!
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Here.....
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: Very well. All: I think we are about ready....should we expect any survivors?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CO: Our scientists do not anticipate any of our people survived the attack,
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods gravely::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
FCO: Yes i am, must be all the JT crawling i do, tell me, does your sonic shower work ok? ::sports an evil grin as he leaves the coffee shop::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Nods::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
Taq’fan:  Are there any burial customs we need to know about should we find any remains?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan>>XO: If one of our people dies in space, then they are to remain, for that is where we return.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: This place looks like it's about to get dull, feel like going for a walk? I'd like to pick up a kitten or something.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Sure. ::Stands up.::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods.::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: That was entertaining though, you must admit.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::looks around and spots Folia and begins to walk towards her::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Stands and waits for the CO. ::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Might be a good idea if we find our new OPS as well just to okay it, yeah it was. ::Leads the way out of the coffee shop and searches for a pet shop::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: My, what took you so long?  And you said you were fit.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: Should we need any more information I am certain the Ambassador can provide it en route
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::gets up as well:: Richmond: If you have nothing to add, we would like to get going ASAP
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Run into the FCO and CMO, they very nosey and like gossip.
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Enters his quarters and puts the items in his bag, then picks up the already packed bag and heads out again, preparing to report for his duty on the Seleya::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: If you get a kitty I think I'll grab myself one too. I love them, they're so fluffy... Did I tell you about the time I was managing a shipment of grain and a rival shipping company threw a Tribble in there?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
CO: Of course.  If that is all?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: In here.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: No you didn't, I thought the Klingon killed them all...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
Computer: Location of the nearest pet shop please.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Richmond: Yes, for now. Thank you. Ambassador: If you will follow us, we will get you settled on the Seleya
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::continues down the hallway totally lost::  Self: Why do they have to make these darn Starbases so large...what happened to all the good old dingy cramped outposts?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: In where? ::tries to see where he's going::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> :opens the cupboard and enters, leaning provocatively against the shelving::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Well, apparently not, because I still cant ship grain in that cargo ship. The moment I put grain in there, we've got thousands of Tribbles. I don’t know where they come from!
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods to Richmond, then moves to the door. ::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Maybe they're very advanced Tribbles who hide in subspace?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: ha! perhaps hahaha.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::no time to question the cupboard, he gets in::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::moves out as well, looking for Ivanova outside::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Now, Starfleet, treat me like a slave.  ::she kisses him passionately
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: We will need to have a word later about mission briefings. In the mean time can you help the Ambassador settle in on the ship?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Smiles:: *OPS*: Atreides to Day. Self: Louse no good computer, never listens to me.
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Looks ahead in shock as the door opens up before her, she quickly loses her balance as she slowly, but in a comical way begins to fall down on the group that opened the same door::
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::jumps at the sound, forgetting that his badge was reprogrammed for the Seleya just before he left Earth::  *CMO*: Uh...what?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::puts her hand on her forehead and shakes her head as she looks at the yeoman::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Catches the Yeoman, looking down at her for a second, then sits her back on her feet. ::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> ::rips McKnight's tunic off and holds his hands up above his head as she continues to kiss him passionately, locking her tongue with his::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*OPS*: Hello, we haven't been formerly introduced yet, I'm your CMO, anyway I was wondering if you'd mind if I had a cat on board?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Are you alright?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: I'm having no luck with the computer, you find the shop and I'll follow you.
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Quickly raises, she grins at the other three strangers like nothing just happened and quickly makes her way toward her Captain. Making sure to throw suspicious looks toward the XO:: CO: Never better! And you? ::Waits patiently for an answer::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: I went there once for a few minutes. It's right down here. ::Walks down the promenade and leads the way.::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
ACTION: McKnight feels metal intertwined with Folia's hands and hears a light "click" above his head.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Wonders how much sugar this Yeoman ingested in the last hour. ::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Fine thank you. Can you please accommodate the Ambassador then?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Nods and follows Orpax::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::pulls back:: Folia: What the hell was that?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: Thank you, kind, strong, incredibly stupid, Starfleet officer.  ::steps back::
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::confused::  *CMO*: A cat...why...what...never mind.  I don't care what kind of pet you have.  ::sighs and shakes his head::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: I wonder where McKnight is... ::walks into the pet shop and scoops up a tabby kitten.:: Self:: So cute! S cute so cute so cute
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*OPS*: Thanks, by the way, when would you be free for your medical?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Right i guess this is where i ask what it is you want?
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
CO: Uh. Sure, sure! ::Glances around her nervously, she turns her attention back to the Ambassador's direction and then back to her Captain:: Uh. ::Leans toward the Captain, she begins to whisper:: Who?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO/CIV: I want to be underway as soon as possible. XO: When we are aboard assemble the crew ASAP
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Probably being ravished by a crazed Centauran...aww.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 *CMO*: My what?!  I just had one...SF Medical had me for 6 freaking hours before I left...
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> ::stoops down and picks up McKnight's comm. badge::  CEO: No.  I already have it.  Which is why I said thank you.  I mean, it's only polite, isn't it?
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Or he's having the time of his life and the joke's on us haha.
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Arrives at the Seleya docking port and logs himself into the ship's computer before stepping on board::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Seeming like an android, he gets off his table, and makes his way towards where the CEO and his lovely lady had went::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::whispers:: CIV: Ambassador Taq'fan, from the Taq'uah Alliance. He will be travelling with us is our next assignment
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. :: CO:  Understood.  :: Taps his commbadge. ::  *ALL*:  This is the XO, all personnel, report to the ship immediately.  All senior staff, briefing in 20 minutes.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*OPS*: I see, but it is standard practice to have one upon assignment, and I find it's always a good way to get to know new crew members, and anyway it would only be a small check-up based on their findings.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Folia: Ah i see, so i guess i'm not so lucky after all.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Rubs his face in the little kitten's belly and pet's it.:: Kitten: Oh you're so cute! Do you want to come home with me? I think you do!
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
::Nods gravely, she takes a quick look toward the Ambassador's direction and quickly grabs his hand as she begins pulling him with her in the direction of the Seleya:: CO, XO: See you later!
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Picks up a black kitten which he likes and picks it up then begins petting it:: FCO: I didn't know Ferengi liked cats.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CEO: I'm afraid not.  And good luck trying to remove the handcuffs.  ::slams the cupboard door shut, leaving McKnight in darkness::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::blinks:: XO: I wonder if leaving him with her was the best idea. What is the nearest way to the docking area?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CO: Captain, I -
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks after Ivanova and shakes his head. ::  CO:  I thought they didnt allow children on starships anymore...
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::slaps his forehead::  *CMO*: Fine...fine, whatever.  I'm trying to find the ship now anyway...this darn starbase has too many levels.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::speaks up:: Ambassador: Don't worry, she is harmless and will make you feel at home
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: I hope
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Most don’t but this one does haha! ::Sets the tabby down and picks up a wonderfully shimmering "British Blue.:: Oh my, look at this one! So pretty! So so so so so so so pretty!!!!! ::Pets it and acts like a child.::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
Folia: I wouldn't do that if I was you ::Gets a hold of Folia's arm::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*OPS*: If you want I'll show you the way, I was planning on going there anyway...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Agreed, so which one are you going to get? OPS doesn't seem to mind pets.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Folia> CTO: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you meant me  ::stuns Hazzem::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
ACTION: Hazzem slumps to the ground.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: On the other hand, you still have to share quarters, don't you?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sighs:: XO: Its along story, she used to be an officer but then got a strange illness. Starfleet didn't want to throw her away from service all together. I guess out of guilt. So they made her a yeoman...::mumbles:: XO: My yeoman
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: motions down the corridor. ::  CO:  Well, lets to shall we?
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
ACTION: Folia disappears into the crowd.
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 *CMO*: I suppose it'll get this over with faster that way.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: I'm going to take this British Blue... and no, senior staff, no matter what rank, don’t share quarters.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Self: Sometimes i wish i wasn't so gullible ::sighs::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and moves along:: XO: I do want to get away as soon as possible. I have the feeling every minute we wait we are loosing valuable information from those ships
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Oh yes...I'll have this one. ::Points:: 
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: And come on, it's me. You know I'd find a way to get my own even if I wasn’t entitled to them ::grins::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
::  Sees Hazzem fall and runs over. ::  ALL:  Move aside!
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Pays for the little kitty.:: CMO: What should it's name be?
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::stops in her tracks blinking at the officer down::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Yeah, like somehow managing to claim you're married to that cat of yours.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Self: Guess I’ll take it out on the door ::starts kicking the door::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
ACTION: Random extras move out of the way as A'an sprints past to Hazzem
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: haha, good one!
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::approaches the XO and CTO kneeling down:: XO: Is he still alive?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Goes over to the counter and pays for his kitten:: FCO: Up to you, I'm naming mine Cassiopeia I think.
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CIV: Where are you taking me?
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Holds his chest and mutters something under his breath, sees the XO coming::
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*OPS*: I'm here in the pet store with Ensign Orpax, just have a computer tell you the best route to locate us, it's fairly close to the dock.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Half slides down and turns Hazzem over onto his back. ::  CO:  I don’t know.  :: Checks Hazzem for pulse and respiration and taps his commbadge. ::  *CMO*:  A'an to Atreides, medical emergency on deck 12, station promenade!
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: I need to think of a cute name... Morgi! After my grandmother, on my father's side.
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::listens to a strange sound in a nearby cupboard and moves that way. Cautiously she opens the door::
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::stops and sighs::  *CMO*: I just passed it five minutes ago...I'm on my way.  ::mutters about the inequity of the universe before closing the comm. line::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::continues to kick the door::
EO_Ens_Ix says:
::Walks to his quarters to drop his stuff::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
CO:  He's alive.
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
Taq'fan: Oh! Hmm. I'm not really sure.. Where do you want to go? ::Smiles broadly at the office stationed near the Seleya docking bay, with a quick nod she resumes pulling on the Ambassador hand as she continues her way now inside the Seleya::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
CMO: Medical emergency? give me your cat!
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*XO*: Understood! 
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the XO then peeks inside the cupboard::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO:  Hazzem?  Lt. Commander Hazzem?  Can you hear me?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::ripped tunic and all:: CO: Oh hello commander....Ens Mc Knight reporting for duty, i'm your CEO ::smiles::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CIV: I would like to go to my quarters on the Seleya.
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Sure, meet me at the coffee shop later... ::Runs off to find the XO::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
::Runs right behind the CMO.::
CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::blinks, glad she wasn’t kicked:: CEO: My CTO is on the floor, you are locked in the cupboard. I didnt even board the ship!
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzem says:
::Half smiles:: XO: Well it's good to see you again A’an. ::Leans on his elbow to sit up::
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::turns around and heads for the pet shop::
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
<Cats>: Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meooooooooooooow
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
Taq'fan: Then we're definitely going there! I think. ::Looks around her for a moment, trying to figure out where she is right now:: This is the Seleya, right?
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Spots the XO and runs over to him tricorder in hand::
Host Cmdr_Richmond says:
<Taq'fan> CIV: I do not know.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods, half smiles. ::  CTO:  You too.  Lay still for a moment, let the doctor check you over.
FCO_Ens_Orpax says:
Cats: So cute, so cute so  cute!
OPS_LtJg_Day says:
 ::arrives at the pet shop and sees no Starfleet officers around::  Self: Aw hell, this is just not my day...
CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Kneels down next to Hazzem and begins to scan him::
CIV_YC1_Ivanonva says:
Taq'fan: Um. Right! Right. ::Resumes walking a she spots a TL nearby::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
CO: First days are always the worst aren't they? ::decides not to smile, he's already had enough trouble with one female today::
