Summary:  The Klingon's have left Avalon Station, but now enroute is Admiral Morgan.  Admiral Morgan has sent a surprise message to Captain MacLeod at the last minute saying he was going to attend taday's little banquet.
Captain MacLeod, not knowing of any banquet, has spent the last hour trying to get one set up for the Admiral.  Things are coming together nicely, but the Admiral's shuttle is arriving in under 5 minutes.
With this, people on the promanade are running around trying to get things set up, we now turn to Avalon Station, seeing her docking doors opening...

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Rachel> OPS:  So did you hear there is a banquet?
CMO_Cmdr_Kriss says:
MO:  Still young enough to listen and do what I say, most times.
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
Rachel:  No I didn't.  What is it about?
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
::flipping through the schematics on the wall in the Observation Lounge so the FCO can review the overall design modifications::
Host ADM_Morgan says:
:: follows the Captain quietly admiring the station :: Self:  Least it looks better now...
LtCmdr_Moore says:
Computer: Please locate Yanis Jappic.
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
::looks at the big fuzzy cat and frowns:: CSO: right.. I'll be there shortly.. do you know who the last person logge dinto the main sheilds was?
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Rachel> OPS:  Well supposedly this Admiral is coming to the station.  I don't know why.
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  I think if we re-route some of the power from the environmental systems we can handle the extra load on the inertial dampeners...
LtCmdr_Moore says:
<Computer> Moore: Mr. Jappic is in his quarters.
LtCmdr_Moore says:
::makes his way to the closest TL::
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  ...which should make for easier landings on those tough atmospheric entries.  What do you think?
LtCmdr_Moore says:
TL: Crew Quarters please.
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
Rachel:  Perhaps he has some sort of business to take care of.
XO_Cmdr_Serok says:
:: follows the CO and Admiral ::
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
::putting up the schematics of the power re-routing plan::
MO_Ens_Lesan says:

CSO_LTjg_Tingsaum says:
:: walks past the TO,towards the turbolift:: TO: well,ummm shields :: looks at the PADD in his paws:: nope wasn't me or one of my department personal ,why do you ask?
Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::TL drops down to deck 7, we walk out and across the corridor to the conference room::  Morgan:  Here we are sir.
FCO_Ens_Demakh says:
CEO: Agreed.  Looking over the schematics, it doesn't look like it should cause too much trouble in the engineering sense either.
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Rachel> OPS:  Maybe.  I guess we'll find out soon enough right?
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
::trying not to seem nervous, but hoping he likes the ideas::
K`Mtar says:
:: kicks the food replicator as it produces grits ::
CSO_LTjg_Tingsaum says:
:: enter's the turbolift :: TL: Deck seven, please..
CMO_Cmdr_Kriss says:
MO:  You'll find out about children someday.
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  Exactly what I was thinking...and we could modify three shuttles to handle this...that way we've got options on specialized missions.
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
CSO: I'm just asking.. ::talks again with the guard and pats him on the back.. then joins the Cat in the lift::
Host ADM_Morgan says:
:: nods to the CO :: Thank you, Captain.  Is everything ready and in order?
Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks around the room, sees that everything looks good.::  Morgan:  I planed on this being a mainly informal affair sir.  I hope that's all-right?
XO_Cmdr_Serok says:
:: nods at the Captain :: 
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  Now, what we'll need is someone to test pilot the first one after we've made the initial modifications.  ::trying not to grin::  Anyone you'd recommend?
K`Mtar says:
:: looks at the grits and hopes it is traditional Human food ::
Host ADM_Morgan says:
:: ponders :: CO:  I guess so, things a little less formal way out here?  :: chortle softly ::
MO_Ens_Lesan says:
CMO: Oh yea... ah, someday yea...
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
::stands with the CSO in the lift and thinks::
CSO_LTjg_Tingsaum says:
:: exits onto deck seven,with the TO:: TO: do you have any idea what this is about ma'am..
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Rachel> OPS:  How was your trip to Cardassia Prime?
FCO_Ens_Demakh says:
::impressed by the CEO's idea, figures..."What the heck."::  CEO: Well, I am assuming at the academy you went through the same basic flight training as everyone else....
Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Morgan:  Yes sir.  Would you care for a cocktail?
LtCmdr_Moore says:
::pushes the chime outside the Jappics' quarters::
FCO_Ens_Demakh says:
CEO: ...and you designed these modifications....
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
*Sickbay*: FYI Docs.. the admiral has advised all senior officers to be in attendance.. it's show time
CMO_Cmdr_Kriss says:
MO:  I'll let you get back to your business.  We should be called for that banquet soon.
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
Rachel:  It was difficult.  I can tell you that I won't... just one second.  Door:  Come in.
FCO_Ens_Demakh says:
CEO: I think it would make sense for you to handle the testing.
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
CSO: none..
MO_Ens_Lesan says:
::nods:: CMO: Ah, yes sir, of course sir. ::turns and exits::
Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::leans to the XO and whispers::  XO:  <W>  Commander, could I get all senior officers up here, ASAP?
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  Er....yes...well....um....I spent more time UNDER the shuttles than actuallly flying them...I'd like someone with more experience and higher flight scores than me to try out the first one.
LtCmdr_Moore says:
::pushes the chime again::
Host ADM_Morgan says:
CO:  No, thank you.  I'll just hang around until you are ready to get the ceremony started.
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
::walks with the CSO to the door and draws a deep breath:: mumbles: I hate these..
CMO_Cmdr_Kriss says:
*TO*:  I am on my way, thank you.
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
Door:  Come in.
Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Morgan:  Of course Admiral, enjoy.
XO_Cmdr_Serok says:
CO: Aye Sir, I was just on my way to do that.  Admiral: If you will excuse me Sir.
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  I was really hoping you'd agree to fly the first one and I could ride shotgun and collect the flight performance data.  There might be some last-minute tweaking I could do during the flight if necessary too.
LtCmdr_Moore says:
::steps through the doors::
TO_LT_Xerxes says:
::walks in with the CSO and loosk at the CO XO and Admiral::
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CIV:  Ah, Commander Moore.   What a pleasant surprise.
Host ADM_Morgan says:
:: nods and walks towards the center front area of the tables and sits down eyeing a few ladies passing through ::
K`Mtar says:
:: gets another case of bloodwine and hopes more wine will help with the food shortage ::
FCO_Ens_Demakh says:
::struggles briefly in his mind before continuing, but pushes on with his thoughts:: CEO: Then my recommendation stands.  It will be a joint "mission" between you and I.
LtCmdr_Moore says:
::prevents himself from raising en eyebrow when he sees another woman alone with Yanis::
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
FCO:  And...I um....well....I checked and the Flight Deck Schedule could accomodate us in three days if you're game.
CMO_Cmdr_Kriss says:
::exits sickbay and heads to the banquet hall.::
LtCmdr_Moore says:
OPS: Is it?
LtCmdr_Moore says:

TO_LT_Xerxes says:
CO: umm sir.. I would like to speak with you when you have time..
LtCmdr_Moore says:
Blantyre: Hello Ensign. Nice to meet you. I'm afraid that I must speak with Commander Jappic privately.
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Rachel>  OPS, CIV:  Well I better get going.  My shift begins in the morning and I need sleep.  Night.  ::Leaves Yanis' quarters.::
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:
::entering turbolift::  "Reception Hall"
OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CIV:  Commander, if you are here to clear me for duty... I assure you that i am perfectly fine.  My little episode the other day was only a reaction to something I couldn't control.
Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks around at the faces in the room, seeing if everyone is there::
CEO_Ens_Kinsale says:

LtCmdr_Moore says:
OPS: And who's to say that won't happen again? it's not that I don't trust you. I'm acting on behalf of Starfleet for the safety of your fellow crewmembers.
