::reaches the TL:: Computer: Bridge.
CTO_KBeth says:
::enters the bridge and stops outside the ready room.  Wipes her boots on the back of her pants to get them shiny, straightens her jacket and takes a deep breath:: Self: Okay, the worst he can do is demote you and your entire department.  Salute and take it on the chin.  ::hits the door chime::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CIV: Well, hopefully we'll both be off duty soon.  Sorry about the extra duty I pulled when we got back from Zester.~~
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: Enter!
FCO_Nichols says:
::watches K'Beth enter the RR::
CTO_KBeth says:
::enters the RR and snaps a salute:: CO: Reporting as ordered, sir.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::exits the TL and enters the bridge with a smile::
CIV_Seti says:
~~FCO: Not a problem, I have been so busy I feel like a tree has fallen on me~~
SO_Roy says:
::sees the CSO arrive and gets up and moves to SCI 2::
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: Have a seat Lieutenant.  ::Motions to the chair opposite him::
CTO_KBeth says:
::looks suspiciously at the chair for a split-second before gingerly sitting.  Wonders if RR chairs have eject buttons on them::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CIV: That must be rough.~~
FCO_Nichols says:
::senses K'Beth's nervousness:: Self: Poor girl.
CIV_Seti says:
~~FCO: Yeah, but things will be better soon and I can buy you that drink~~
CSO_Tarrez says:
::heads to the science station::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CIV: Well, I get off at 1400 today.~~
FCO_Nichols says:
CSO: Anything to report? ::grins at Tarrez::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Nothing relevant on the LRS... and no green men.... maybe there are a few gray or peach but nothing green. ::grins::
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: Lieutenant, I have a couple of things to discuss with you.  One of which is this nasty little report from the Gamma shift.  I have not read it yet.  It is sitting in my computer like a vicious little predator, waiting to leap out and steal my joy.  So, on to other things.
CIV_Seti says:
~~FCO: That might be good, I am scheduled to be off at 1630, maybe later tonight?~~
CSO_Tarrez says:
::shakes her head at the FCO:: FCO nothing yet.  Turns and smiles to the SO:: SO: So how is your day going?
CTO_KBeth says:
::is getting nervouser and nervouser waiting for the CO to finish:: Self: Oh boy, this has got to be bad..if it's so bad and he hasn't even read the report yet.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: So far, the day is doing well. You?
CMO_AlexiaLea says:
::Recompiles information from the inventory reports into a requisition list for their return to base::
CTO_KBeth says:
CO: Aye sir...that report didn't make me too happy either.
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CIV: How about 19.....do you sense that from K'Beth?  She's scared.~~
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: It is going well.  I thought that maybe we could have a chance to talk while we worked?
SO_Roy says:
CSO: If you want to, yes.
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CTO: You okay cuz?~~
CIV_Seti says:
~~FCO: 1900 would be fine, see you then and yes, I do feel some tension from the CTO~~
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: I need to ask you to consider doing something I know you have not considered before.  And I want you to think carefully before you answer.  A lot depends on it.
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Well I was just want to see how everything is going and if you are enjoying your posting here on the Del? ::smiles as she could never leave this great ship::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Yes... yes, I like my position on the Del. I prefer duty shifts up here, but I know working in the labs is also important.
CO_Lynam says:
::Watches the CTO carefully::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CIV: Okay, shall I meet you in the lounge?~~
CTO_KBeth says:
::straightens up in her chair and looks directly at the Captain:: CO: Sir, you know that I'd be willing to follow any order you gave without needing to think about it.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::Smiled even larger as she confirmed her feelings::
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: This isn't an order.  I'm asking you to volunteer.
CIV_Seti says:
~~FCO: I will see you at 1900 then~~
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Yes I have noticed that you prefer the 'action' of the bridge to the mandate aspects of the lab.
CTO_KBeth says:
::grins::CO: Volunteer, sir?  For what?
FCO_Nichols says:
::takes a PADD and begins updating the pilot crew rotation::
CIV_Seti says:
FCO: I am off to my office if you need me Lt.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Of course, a great and challenging research is always fun, but nothing quite measures up to the action on the bridge or during an away team, Lt.
CO_Lynam says:
::Hands her a small object::
FCO_Nichols says:
CIV: Thank you Ensign. ::nods at Seti::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::turns slightly to look at her::  SO: Have you had much AT experience?
CTO_KBeth says:
::looks at it and sees...a pip, looks up in confusion:: CO: I don't understand.  ::almost drops it as she takes it from the Captain::
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: I need a first officer.  You should have more training, and believe me, you'll be hitting the books every night, but what do you say?
CIV_Seti says:
::Turns and heads to the TL:: TL: Deck Eight
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Not much as this is my first assignment. And as you know most of my duty shifts so far were in the labs.
CTO_KBeth says:
::almost slides off the chair but catches herself just in time.  Snaps her mouth shut as she realizes that her jaw is hanging to the floor.  Gulps::CO: I...I...I'm...wow...ah, yes sir...me sir?  I'm honored sir...I'm speechless...
FCO_Nichols says:
::glances over her shoulder as Seti leaves the bridge::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::turns back to her console:: SO: Yes I must apology for that but it could not be helped.  I promise though that I will make up for it.  ::smiles in amusement::  You know if it want for the fact that I thought the CO would have my hide... I would give you all my bridge time for a chance to be in the lab again.
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CTO: Hey, what's all the excitement about?~~
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: THAT, I find hard to believe.  ::Grins::
CIV_Seti says:
::Feels the FCO watching him as he leave the bridge:: ~~FCO: See you later Sarah~~
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
::puts the final touches on the lounges decoration for the celebration::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: You prefer the labs? SF does need people that likes lab work because without them we wouldn't find a lot.
CTO_KBeth says:
::starts to grin a big grin and then realizes exactly what she just agreed too.  Sobers up a bit as the responsibility hits her:: CO: Jeepers, sir....::grins even bigger::
CMO_AlexiaLea says:
::Finished with her requisition list, files it away, and lets her gaze pass over the desk a few times, searching for any stray work she may have missed::
FCO_Nichols says:
::assigns Ensign Lindy to bridge nightshift::
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: I'll send the requirements for the position to your quarters.  You'll have to do the coursework from here, rather than command school at the Academy.  And of course, you'll still have your bridge duties.  Your a few weeks short of the minimum required.  Sure you still want it?
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
::sends a note to let the CO know she has everything ready, food music/Karaoke::
CSO_Tarrez says:
SO: Yes but it is a catch twenty-two if you know what I mean.  If you want to climb the officers ladder you have to spend more and more time on the bridge.
SO_Roy says:
CSO: Indeed.
CO_Lynam says:
::receives the note and nods to himself::
CO_Lynam says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant, could you come in here please?
CTO_KBeth says:
::clutches her pip tightly in her fist and grins again at the Captain:: CO: Well sir.  They did tell us that sacrifices will have to be made for the good of the ship.  I guess I'll just have to suffer as XO..... ::grins even bigger if that was possible::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::hears the CO:: *CO*: Aye sir! Self: What did I do now.
FCO_Nichols says:
::schedules the Holodeck training mission for Earhart and Dunlap::
SO_Roy says:
CSO: I'll go back to my scanning for little green men then.
CO_Lynam says:
CTO: And may god have mercy on your soul.  ::Shakes her hand::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::turns and nods goodbye to the SO and heads to the RR::
CTO_KBeth says:
CO: Thank you sir....somehow I think I might need that. ::laughs::
CIV_Seti says:
::Exits the TL and heads down the hall to his quarters::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::reaches the RR and hits the chime:: Self Well lets just dive in.
FCO_Nichols says:
::wonders why K'Beth didn't answer her::
CMO_AlexiaLea says:
::Finally finds just a corner of a PADD peeking out from beneath a book she brought to the desk. Pulls it out and begins to read it::
CO_Lynam says:
CSO: Come!
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
::smiles at Cherry:: Cherry: We need some more flowers on the Captains table..
Waitress_Cherry says:
Sasha: Of course ma'am, right away.
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
Cherry: Red and White.. I don’t like the look.. what do you think? ::stands back to look::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::takes a deep breath and then enters when the door swishes open.  Comes before the CO and stands at attention::  CO: Reporting as order! Sir!
CMO_AlexiaLea says:
::"Oh yes, the proposed schedule changes..."::
Waitress_Cherry says:
Sasha: Lacking a little something ma'am. :;looks over the flowers::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::sees the CTO in there as well:: Self: Oh great I must have majorly missed up here.
Host CO_Lynam says:
CSO: Lieutenant, be the second to congratulate your new first officer.  ::Nods at the CTO::
FCO_Nichols says:
::finishes the crew rotation::
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
Cherry: Lacks taste ::humphs::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::notices the new pips for the first time and smiles::  XO: Congratulations Beth... uh I mean sir!
CTO_KBeth says:
::steps aside and watches the CSO.  Looks at the Captain and then at Sy.  Grins and almost shyly puts the pip on::
Host CO_Lynam says:
::gets up and walks around the table.  Hands CTO a small box::
CIV_Seti says:
::Remembers he left his PADD on the bridge:: Self: Just great, now I have to go back :: Heads to the TL:: TL: Bridge
CTO_KBeth says:
::takes the box and looks questionly at the Captain::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::would have hugged her friend but did not think it would look professional::
FCO_Nichols says:
::switches PADDs and looks over the requisitions for repairs on the runabouts::
SO_Roy says:
::taps a bit on her console::
Host CO_Lynam says:
CTO: As your first official duty, you may pin this pip on the new Lieutenant here.  And be the first to congratulate our new...second...officer.  ::Grins::
CIV_Seti says:
::Leans back on the wall thinking about Sarah::
Waitress_Cherry says:
Sasha: Just needs a bit more color. ::picks up some gold leaves and inserts them into the arrangement before her:: There, how does that look?
CTO_KBeth says:
::grins and is more happy for Sy than she was for herself:: CO: I will be more than happy to do that, sir!
CSO_Tarrez says:
::is taken aback:: CO: Sir?! ::looks back and forth between the two::
CIV_Seti says:
::Feels the TL come to a stop, Seti stand up quickly and gains his composure::
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
Cherry: Nice ..very nice.. ::pulls out the red ones..:: Cherry, oh perfect.. gold and white.. Lets do all the tables in gold and white.. ::moves to the replicator::
CTO_KBeth says:
::as she is putting on the pips:: CSO: Lt. it is with great pleasure I congratulate you as the new second officer on the best ship in the galaxy.  Congratulations...
Waitress_Cherry says:
::adjusts her blouse slightly to show off a bit of her assets for the passing crewman::
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
::catches Cherry adjusting herself and walks over and pulls at her top snapping it higher:: Cherry: At least wait until the crew have become sloshed dear ::grins::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::beams:: Self: Not in a million years would I have expected this. ::turns to the XO:: XO: Thank you. ::turns to the CO: Thank you. Thank you sir!
Host CO_Lynam says:
CSO: You will also have some homework every night to officially qualify for the position.  Your new SO may have to pull a few extra shifts to cover for you.
Waitress_Cherry says:
Sasha: Yes ma'am, I'll get right on that. ::slinks to the replicator:: Sorry Ma'am. ::smiles and continues across the room::
Host CO_Lynam says:
CSO: You're welcome.  Lieutenant.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::nods:: CO: I am sure she is up to the task.
Host CO_Lynam says:
CTO/CSO: Now go back to work.  ::Sounds stern, but his eyes are smiling::
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
::chuckles to herself:
CIV_Seti says:
::Exits the TL and briefly enters the bridge to get his PADD::
Waitress_Cherry says:
::winks over her shoulder at Sasha::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::salutes and does an about face::
CTO_KBeth says:
::salutes:: CO: Aye sir...right away sir....::grins and turns to Sy:: CSO: Let's get outta here before he changes his mind
Host CO_Lynam says:
::Follows the two to the door::
Host Yeoman_Sasha says:
::hums as she fixes flowers and adjusts silverware and looks sternly on a spec of dust on a table before wiping it with gusto::
CTO_KBeth says:
::exits the RR with the CSO::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::grins and giggles at her friend::  XO: I am right behind you sir.
CTO_KBeth is now known as XO_KBeth.
Waitress_Cherry says:
::replicates more gold leaves and proceeds to rearrange each table, concentrating on the Captain's::
Host CO_Lynam says:
::Follows them out::  ALL: ATTENTION!  Officer on Deck!  ::Grins::
FCO_Nichols says:

SO_Roy says:

Host Yeoman_Sasha says:

CSO_Tarrez says:

Host CO_Lynam says:
ALL: Your relief should be arriving shortly, there is a reception to honor the new first and second officers in the lounge.  You may attend when you are relieved.
Host CO_Lynam says:
ALL; That is all.  ::Does a passable John Wayne::
Waitress_Cherry says:
::finishes up the flowers and stands back to make a final inspection of her work::
CIV_Seti says:
::Here's the announcement and pays attention to the new XO::

FCO_Nichols says:
