Host Brett says:
Summary: The Delphyne senior staff has hosted a "mixer" for representatives of Trennar's Klingons sect, the "Terminists".  Trennar and three of his followers have come to enjoy an evening of food, drink and, no doubt, questions.

Host Brett says:
<<<<Resume Mission "The Terminists - Part 2">>>>

CMO_Santiago says:
::In the lounge, hormones all over the place....she is trying to quell the tears in order not to look weak in front of the CSO.::

TO_Ander says:
::standing in the corner of the lounge, trying to avoid much contact::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::goes over to the Captain, trying to make space between herself and the CMO, having made a terrible mess of things::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles as he moves over to the CMO:: CMO: Doctor, can I help

CMO_Santiago says:
::Throws her hands up in the air because she was deserted.::  Self:  Make note to self... no crying....

CO_Mash`ev says:
Trenar: May I introduce the rest of the senior staff?

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CO: Certainly.  ::Picks up a glass of something from a table::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::is always amazed in the amount of emotion a pregnant woman can display at very acquired times::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Sniffles a bit.::  CNS:   Ahhhh my favorite doctor on the ship...  I don't know...these hormones are driving me nuts and apparently everyone else.. ::looks at the CSO::   Can you stand a crying woman at the moment?

Host Brett says:
<Borak> ::Standing to one side, apparently trying to avoid much contact::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CO: Captain... ::nods politely::

Host Brett says:
<Krenab/Laitya> ::Scrutinizing the buffet table::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles, and puts his arm around the CMO guiding her away from the group to a sofa to the side of the room:: CMO: Well, they tell me that is what I spent all those years in training for

CO_Mash`ev says:
Trenar: This is our Chief Science Officer Lt. Rhykmal

CMO_Santiago says:
::Lets him lead her away::  CNS:  I look like a whale, my uniform still doesn't fit.  Rhykmal hates me...Klingons probably think I'm weak and I hate my husband right now because this is all his fault you know.....

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> ::Nods::  CSO: Lieutenant.  I am certain our beliefs meet with your skepticism?

TO_Ander says:
::has one officer move to a corner of the lounge::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
Trenar: Skepticisim... ::nods:: yes. Please correct me if I am incorrect... but your beliefs are based upon... faith... yes?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Well, they say that people do get bigger when a baby is growing inside them.  But hey what do I know ::smiles::  and everything looks weak to Klingons, and well Syrna she doesn't hate anyone, she is well vulcan

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Listens politely but wonders about Doctor Santiago? ::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CSO: Yes.  Ah, of course, faith is not something which can be scanned or scrutinized...therefore it does not exist in Vulcan culture.  ::Eyes twinkle, whether from merryment or the idea of a good argument::

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  But you think I should hate my husband!?!?!  ::bursts out crying again::

Host Brett says:
<Krenab> ::Selects a variety of foods and a mug of some greenish drinka nd goes to one of the tables.  His eyes travel over the assembled starfleet officers, then come to rest on the weeping woman inthe tight uniform.::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
Trenar: Indeed faith by its very definition is unprovable... though I do understand there are things that exist in this universe that science as we know it cannot explain.

CMO_Santiago says:
::takes a deep breath::  CNS:  You know.....  I need chocolate....

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CMO: All pregent woman hate their husbands for doing this to them, but if I must say so you probably didn't have any objections to what he was doing at the time.  and when the baby arrives you will forget all about this and think about nothing else expect the litte life you and your husband just brought into the universe

Host Brett says:
<Laitya>::Also picks up some of the foods, emitting a surprised gasp at the Pipius claw arrangement, which she almost single handedly decimates by heaping onto her plates, then goes to join Krenab::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::notes the pipius claw was seemingly a success::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Pats him on the hand::  CNS:  I know you mean well and you are probably right.  Hubby is quite...hmmm how should I put it.....  hmmmm agile in bed, but you know now he has deserted me by staying on the Nighthawk and I'm here.

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CSO: ::Raises and eyebrow::  A Vulcan who accepts that not all things are logical?  CO: Truly captain you see this, if nothing else, as a sign of the coming universal end?  ::Smirks::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
Trenar: I did not mean to suggest there are things that are illogical.. however it seems most beings are... such is the nature of the universe... infinite diversity in infinite combinations... what I said was that some things are not explainable by our current knowledge.

CO_Mash`ev says:
Trenar: I rather think I'm having a good effect on her?  ::laughs softly so as not to completely interrupt the conversation::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::thinks amoment about his own lost love, but quickly goes back to the CMO:: CMO: I am sure he hasn't deserted you, I am sure he loves you with all his heart, and would be here if he didn't have obligations on the Nighthawk.  You two will find away to make this relationship work, there are many couples in Starfleet they somehow find away

Host Brett says:
<Borak> ::Finally decides to hit the buffet himself and moves to the tables, picking up various foods, sniffing or otherwise inspecting them and then placing some selections on a plate::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::motions for her to stay for one second and goes and fetches her some chocolate, comes back and sets down handing it to her::

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  I know I know....  I'm just being a baby.  I just miss them too much.  this is the first time I've been alone without my entourage.  I met Richard on the Cherokee so many moons ago.  We rescued a Borg child whom we cherish.  My bestest friend in all the world Varesh is still on the Nighthawk... CNS too... he always has chocolate in hand for me.  ::Grins as she is given chocolate.::  A man after my own heart...

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CSO: Still, an enlightened position for one of your race.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
Trenar: It is illogical to assume that everything is logical when plainly some things are not.

TO_Ander says:
*TO Ewn'ind* Report on the Ferengi ship, please.

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CO: Now, I am going to enjoy some of this food before our respective followers consume the lot.  ::Laughs and moves toward the buffet::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::thinks on the CMO for example... quite illogical... and Klingons are not exactly known for their logic either...::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: CMO: There is no doubt that starfleet life is hard, and no you aren't being a baby.  You have every right to feel as you do, you are in a new environment during a very special time in your life.  What you need is to establish some new friends here on the Del <more>

CO_Mash`ev says:
Trenar: Of course, we can meet the others later.

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: How is doctor Santiago?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
<more> I hear you are looking for some poker players to get a game started.  I think that is exactly what you need, to get into something you like doing and get to know some of the crew.  If you don't mind having a telepath play I would love to join the game ::smiles::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> ::Downs two more glasses of punch before loading up a plate with food::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CO: I regret I upset her when I reminded her that the replicator could have easily made her a uniform that fit.... ::looks down:: It was a poor choice of words... and topic.

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: Really? ::Looks over::  That's what upset her?

Host Brett says:
<TO Ewn'ind> TO: Still closing.  They are definitely on an intercept course.  ETA is 14 hours present speed.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods:: CO: Then she went on about her pregnancy... and that upset her more... I do believe there is quite a bit more to all that but... I... we did not continue our conversation.

CMO_Santiago says:
::A great big smile comes across her face.::  CNS:  I don't mind at all!!  As a matter of fact I've found a game tonight.  Invited the new CEO along.  ::Whispers in his ear.::  He claims he has never played before.  I have to wonder if he is trying to play a player?  ::Continues to grin.::

TO_Ander says:
*TO Ewn'ind* Thank you. ::closes the comm and continues watching the Klingons::

Host Brett says:
Action: Suddenly Laitya begins to cough, then grasps her throat and struggles for breath.  The other Klingons at the table appear surprised, Trenar reaches out a hand, no doubt to ask if she is alright.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::looks over to see Santiago smile:: CO: It seems Doctor Llewellyn is quite the charmer... and has the situation well in hand.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: CMO: Then it is all settled, we will linger around here for awhile, and then after we play nice with the Klingons we can go and have some real fun.  ::grins:: You do play for real right, none of that just for fun stuff right

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: I see...  I must admit, I don't have a lot of experience with pregnant women but it has never been quite so... extreme... before this?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::looks over at the gasping Klingon:: CMO: Looks like we have something we need to attend to

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  You better have latinum buster... ::pokes him in the arm...but hears the commotion and jumps up...::  CNS:  Doct could use your assistance.  ::Hurries over to the choking Klingon.::

TO_Ander says:
::looks over at Laitya; wondering what's happening::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::looks over as she hears the cough:: CO: As its been said... every woman is different. I do not wish to find out for myself... ::grows concerned seeing the klingon fall:: CMO: Doctor!

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Donnie, I need your strength right now.. do you know the Heimlich? 

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Moves closer to the gasping Klingon, trying to remember her name. ::  All: Let them through! ::Indicating the CMO and CNS. ::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::rushes over to the Klingon::

CMO_Santiago says:
All:  I need a tricorder!!

CMO_Santiago says:
::Looks closely at the Klingon..:;  All:  She is not choking... this is something else...

Host Brett says:
Action: The other Klingons stand and move around the scene, their faces appear calm.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Yes, ::starts to do the Heimlich, but stops::  What is it?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::goes to get a tricorder from the nearest med kit::

Host Brett says:
Action: Laitya stops convulsing and lies still, her eyes rolled back in her head, her breath coming in labored gasps, these tapering off.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Taps her combadge.:: *Sickbay*:  Medical emergency to the lounge... bring my kit....  I need something possibly for allergies or poisons.

TO_Ander says:
::looks to the individual Klingons, the ones not convulsing and considers the calm faces::

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  I'm thinking allergies, or maybe poison... ::takes the tricorder from a helpful crewman.  runs it over the Klingon.::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Klingons begin a low chanting, their heads thrown back, eyes closed.

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Confused by the calm expression on the Klingon faces. ::  Trenar: Do you know what's happening?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::looks over the Klingon, while waiting for a tricorider:: TO: Secure, the food this Klingon was eating

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> ::Ignores the CO and continues the chant::

TO_Ander says:
::hears the chant, and then the counselor:: CNS: Yes, sir. ::confiscates several items, including the Pipius::

CMO_Santiago says:
<MO Tech>  ::hurries into the lounge with a biobed and med equipment... pushes his way to the CNS and CMO.::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::is confused as well but keeps calm::

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Tries to remain calm and let the doctors do their job. ::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CMO: What is showing up on the scan?

CMO_Santiago says:
All:  She is in Anaphylactic shock...  ::drops her tricorder and opens the kit.::   ::Looks at Trenar::  Trenar:  You knew she was 3/4 Klingon?   She is allergic to shellfish..

TO_Ander says:
::moves to the Captain:: CO: ::in a low voice:: Maybe they're predicting she's dying and chanting a ritual.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Allergies...  ::pulls out a hypospray and fills it  Then pushes into the Klingons neck.::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Klingons's chant grows in volume.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Waits for the Klingon to react.::

Host Brett says:
Action: Laitya's vital signs begin to stabilize and her breathing becomes less labored.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Lets get her on the bed and take her to sickbay :;motions for the med tech to help him::

TO_Ander says:
::begins removing any foods in the fish food group::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Looks to the MO Tech>  CNS:  Aye,  We will need to monitor her for a bit.

CMO_Santiago says:
<MO Tech>  ::With help he hoists up the Klingon woman onto the biobed.::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::helps the tech get her on the bed, she is a lot heavier then she looks::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> ::Stops his chant and stares at the proceedings::  CMO: You have saved her?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::decides she needs to know more about the Terminists, but thinks about why they were willing to let this happen... Klingon philosophy being that if one is afraid to die... then one is afraid to live... and the curious saying about eating poison::

CMO_Santiago says:
Trenar:  You will be happy to know she has stabilized.  I would like to observer her for the next couple hours.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CMO: If you wish to go ahead to sickbay, I will stay and explain what happened

CMO_Santiago says:
Trenar:  Yes she was saved.

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> CMO: Well, it is not our way to save those on the path...but we thank you.  Now she will live to see the glorious end.

CMO_Santiago says:
Trenar:  What!?   Well, bud, it's my way.  Nobody dies on my watch if I can help it.  Death is my greatest enemy that I fight.  Path or not.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
Trenar: You would just let… ::stops when he hears the CMO::

TO_Ander says:
::looks to the counselor:: CNS: Shellfish has been removed the menu.. ::looks over to the Klingons; takes a step towards his group and away from the Klingons::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the CNS... thinking they are not very Klingon.::

Host Brett says:
<Trenar> ::Nods solemnly::  CMO: And I respect you for that.  You have chosen a truly worthy foe to combat.  ::Pauses::  I know another doctor who also claims death as his enemy.  He would be proud of you.  ::Follows the stretcher::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
TO: Well, that wouldn't have happened if I would have know that she was 1/4 human. I would have checked for allergies first.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Death by fish... not worth of story, not a worthy death for a Klingon warrior don't you think?

Host Brett says:
Action: The other Klingons also follow Trenar and the grav stretcher out of the room.

TO_Ander says:
CNS: Sir, we can't take it back.. we've just dealt with it for now.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::nods in agreement to the CMO::

CMO_Santiago says:
Trenar:  Thank you for the compliment Trenar.  I'm honored.  ::Follows also cramped by Klingons.::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
TO: You are correct, I will make sure that all shellfish products are removed from future menus

TO_Ander says:
::nods and motions to the TOs to follow::

Host Brett says:
@<Trenar> ::Walking through the corridors behind the floating stretcher::  CMO: You think us strange, do you not?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::wonders if Laitya knew she was allergic::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::stays in the lounge and lets the CMO do her job, figures he isn't needed any longer, turns to the CSO:: CSO: Wasn't the shellfish your idea ::smiles to let the CSO know he is joking::

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: I wonder if there are other surprises?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CO/CNS: If you saw the way she mounted the claw on her plate... I wonder if it were not some form of suicide...

CMO_Santiago says:
@Trenar:  I do... I also belong to a Klingon house... House of Korack.  He greats death as a friend, but a friend to be fought but also to be embraced when it comes knocking.  He would not allow one of his warriors to die on the floor killed by a fish.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CSO: It is possible that she has never eaten claw or other shellfish as it is an Earth food.  She might not have know of her allergy at all?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CNS: But it is close to Pipyus... she heaped it upon her plate.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Well maybe so, but food allergies are tricky, you can develop them over time

Host Brett says:
@<Trenar> CMO: Hmm, Korack.  Yes, I know his house.  Well, we are few who follow the Path.  And, in the end, death comes for us all.  We only hope to be there for the ending of all things, when all Klingons will no longer fear or fight death but will pass beyond it to serve in the Black Fleet with honor.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CNS: Particularly shellfish if I recall correctly... does this particular allergy not happen with fair regularity in elderly humans?

CO_Mash`ev says:
CSO: Perhaps.. we don't know much about the Terminists, do we?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Yes it does

TO_Ander says:
::idly listens to the conversation between the three::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CO: I do believe there is a curious saying the Klingons have about eating poison... ::tries to recall:: to truly suceed one must eat poison.... Or something like that... perhaps this is an application of that idea?

CO_Mash`ev says:
CNS/CSO: Find out what you can about the Terminists. I need to know if I've a ship full of suicidal Klingons to care for.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
::nods to the CO::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods::

CMO_Santiago says:
@Trenar:  I understand better then you think.  I'm a pacifist by nature.  I'm not afraid of death.  I believe there is something waiting for us and death is not the end.  If it's the Black Fleet.  that would be an honor.  If it's something else.  That is ok too.  I just think we should give death a good fight in order to make life worth <more>

CMO_Santiago says:
@living.  There are many people no matter what species... who breathe but are dead.  That is just so sad and death has won prematurely.

Host Brett says:
@<Trenar> CMO: You know, it is ironic.  We lead a simple life, filled with prayer and study.  We do not and cannot enjoy the riches in life.  Perhaps Laitya was overcome at the idea of indulging herself before the end.  Pipius Claw is a delicacy on Q'onos, as you know.  She has never had it.  ::Sighs:: I take this as a lesson from Khaless.

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Enters the lounge, after finishing up a power inverter that demanded his attention, his face changing from eager anticipation to a rather sullen look disappointed that the Klingons have all gone::

CMO_Santiago says:
@Trenar:  It may be.  But what was the harm in trying.  She wasn't giving up her beliefs for it.  It was there, provided by your hosts who had no ulterior motives but to show you a good time.

TO_Ander says:
::looks to the new entry:: CEO: Hello there. You just missed the main event.

Host Brett says:
@<Trenar> CMO: Ah but you see, Laitya faltered.  And she was punished for it.  But, luckily, Khaless provided not only the lesson but the chance to learn from it...in you.  You have saved her so that she may return to the path.  For that I thank you.  ::Bows his head::

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
TO: I see, what happened? Was there a fight?

CMO_Santiago says:
@Trenar:  You are welcome  ::Returns the bow::  I'm happy to help.

TO_Ander says:
CEO: No, actually. Allergic reaction.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
CO: Well I guess my dinner planning skills really showed off tonight, huh

Host Brett says:
@<Trenar> ::Seeing they have arrived at Sickbay::  CMO: We will take our leave now.  Please notify us when Laitya may return to us.  Also, please convey our gratitude to Captain Mash’ev for his hospitality.  We shall return the favor before our journey ends.  ::Turns and heads back toward the Transporter room, with his followers and escorts::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
CNS: You did your best with what was available.

CEO_Ens_Quinn says:
TO: Really that's odd Klingons are supposed to have iron constitutions. ::glances around::

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Nods as the delegation heads off::  Trenar:  I will.  Please feel free to visit also.  My doors are always opened.

TO_Ander says:
::smiles:: CEO: She wasn't full Klingon.
