CNS_Rand says:
::takes a seat at a vacant science station and looks over the information scrolling across the screen::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO*: And the catering staff has prepared a great spread for our guests. They've included some Secondan fare and mixed it with different samples of cuisine from different Federation worlds. You have to try the gumbo.

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
*CEO*: Warn Captain Marek, he's in charge of the conference

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO*: He's unavailable right now, sir.

ACTION:  The Secondans begin to arrive at the conference...

CNS_Rand says:
::finishes looking over the information at science and leaves operations, headed for the conference rooms to assist during the conference::

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
*CEO*: I'd advise against that, unless you want to spend a few days in the brig without any food

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO*: No need to worry about that now, sir. They're filing in now.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: I am on my way to the Conference Room, Captain. Will you join us, or will you take the Scorpius for a patrol?

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: I'm at your service here captain, tell me how I may best serve the interests of this conference

CNS_Rand says:
*SC*: Yes sir, it appears that everything is well in hand and from the impressions I'm getting so far, the Secondan's seem pleased.

CTO_Horn says:
::Leaves his office and heads for operations:: Time to get back to work.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Draylon: Welcome, sir. The conference room is all ready for your use, sir, and may I suggest the gumbo from the Earth section called Louisiana on the catering table?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Well, if we follow the Intelligence Reports, this will be a slow month... But, to be honest, I will more secure if we have the Scorpius ready for action. As we discussed it before, one can never be too cautious during a diplomatic meeting.

Host Draylon says:
CEO:  Thanks you Commander.  Most kind.  ::smiles::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: Very well, I will be there in a minute.

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC

CNS_Rand says:
*SC*: Understood, Captain.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::tugs his dress uniform as the TL's doors open::

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Allright, I'll get the Scorpius to undock and we will take it for a spin around the corner

Host Draylon says:

::stands to the side of the room, listening to Draylon::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Counsellor. ::nods::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sees Draylon on the opposite side of the room::

CNS_Rand says:
SC: Hello, Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Captain...

CTO_Horn says:
::Arrives in Operations::

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  Draylon yields the floor to the first speaker of the day...Treius of Secondus...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: So far, so good... Can you perceive anything strange on the diplomat's mood? I mean, besides the logical tension of such occasion.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Commander Masters.. ::nods::

CNS_Rand says:
SC: No, everything seems to be going well. The Secondans are excited and happy to be here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I almost had to tear myself away from the catering table. The gumbo is to die for.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Better that way.ç

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walk out of his ready room, to his chair on the bridge ::

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS_Plegia: Please initiate undocking procedures

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Really? Maybe I will try it later... Although Earth's food is not one of my favorite.

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: Excellent. It's good that there is such a variety of foods for our guests to experiment with.

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
<OPS_Plegia>CO: Aye sir, initiating

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: It's a good thing for diplomatic reasons they didn't put any gaach on there.

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  The conference is proceeding at a good pace and all participants seem happy...

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: I'm not so sure about that. Though, I'll admit that it is a learned taste.

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
<OPS_Plegia>Undocking complete sir, we are free to proceed with our flight plan

CTO_Horn says:
::Runs a long range sensor sweep of the surrounding sector::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::tries to hear Draylon speech, but his mind drift to some due reports he had to submit::

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  Scorpius does not detect anything unusual...

CTO_Horn says:
::Sets the sensors to do periodic sweeps every 15 minutes::

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  A robed figure walks across the promenade undetected by either security or station citizens and disappears into the shadows...

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: Take us on course around the station, do not stay far away

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::listens to the various speakers::

CTO_Horn says:
::Exits onto the prominade::

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  The first speaker gets a laugh from the delegates and continues...

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::whispers:: SC: The delegates seem to be enjoying themselves.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CEO: Can you explain me why are they laughing... I didn't get the joke? ::raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Horn says:
::Checks in with the security teams and heads for the conference room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I didn't get it either. Must be something only they understand.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: I'm not sure that I did either, but they are certainly pleased.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CEO: Well, let's say it was effective for them...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC/CNS: I hope it wasn't at our expense.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CEO: If it was, it shouldn't matter, as long as we keep making them feel welcome.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CEO: You know, diplomacy is the art to use words to hurt the others... somehow it seems to be less obvious than a phaser shot...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I thought diplomacy was the art of using words to settle differences.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: SC: True

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Something settling differences can be painful...

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  A robed figure appears in a corridor unnoticed by any and melts into the shadows...

::Listens closely to the speaker::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CTO*: Anything unusual to report, Commander?

CO_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: Keep an eye on incoming ships

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::watches the speaker at the podium::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::feels a rumble in his stomach::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CEO: If you excuse me, I will get myself a little bit of that gumbo you recommended me, Masters. ::stands up discretly ::

CTO_Horn says:
*SC*: Nothing. All seems to be going smoothly.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: SC: Of course. ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Add a little hot sauce to give it an extra special kick, sir.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CTO*: Good. As one old proverb goes... "No news, good news"...

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  A robed figure steps out of the shadows of the conference room and phasers down Treius.

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps into the conference room::

Host Draylon says:
<Hooded Figure>  ALL:  Long live the Secondan revolution!

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: Phaser! ::looks back to the trail of the beam::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: You know, my stomach is a little... delicate... I think I will not push my luck there.

CTO_Horn says:
::Draws his phaser::

Host Draylon says:
ACTION:  The robed figure fires wildly and ducks out of the room and melts into the shadows in the confusion...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Security teams*: To the Conference Room, on the Double.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::hurries to the podium::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Red Alert!!!!!!!!

CTO_Horn says:
::Bolts out of the conference room::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::ducks as the phaser is fired again and moves toward Draylon::

::follows CTO, Colt and Remmington::
