 <<<<Begin Mission "Risa - Part 1">>>>

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::arrives in the transporter room in her Vulcan robes, dark and austere, a shoulder bag hangs from her right side::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::on the surface at the beam down area awaiting the command crew::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Hello, lieutenant. Looking forward to some rest/

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Rest… ::inclines her head:: is agreeable.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Excellent! I hear they've improved their diving reef?  :: indicates a bag he's carrying ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises her eyebrow:: CO: Ah. I had not heard that. I am not much of a swimmer, however… being born on a desert planet. I am looking to find a partner to play kal-toh with.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::enters the transporter room wearing civilian clothes and carrying a bag::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::tilts her head to Donnie:: CNS: Greetings counselor. I expect you find this time of recreation agreeable.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Of course. I had wondered if the challenge of something new might have intrigued you…. ::grins ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Oh? In what way? I suppose there are ruins of an ancient civilization to explore…

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Counselor, I trust you have rest and relaxation plans?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::steps up to the transporter pad::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 @::finds a seat and kicks back waiting for the crew::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO/CO: I have volunteered to lead a group counseling sessions ::steps on to the pad::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Steps up to the transporter, listening. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Is that not too much like work?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: like work, it is work

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Is not the purpose of R&R to get rest… and relaxation? Or have I misunderstood the acronym?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: You are correct, lieutenant. It should be relaxing.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::smiles:: CSO:  I am kidding, actually I haven't decided what I am going to be doing. I figured I would wing it?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 <TR_Chief>: Energize when ready.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Ah. A joke. I see. ::mumbles something about not getting it::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::grins at the CSO::

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::Saunters by and, seeing the EO seated alone, catches his eye, nods at the small statue she is carrying and winks::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::stands ready to be beamed down::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 @::smiles at the girl walking and looks at the statue in her hand::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::wonders if the chief is going to energize:: Chief: We are not getting any younger… ::smiles::

Brett:
 @<Girl> CEO: Waiting for me?  Or…

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: I'm sure the chief will transport us down just as soon as he gets clearance.  :: but is a bit curious what the delay is ::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 @Girl:  I'm always waiting for a beautiful woman.  But this time I'm actually waiting for my crew.

Brett:
 Action: The officers materialize on the planet below.

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::watches the beam in::  CEO: Ah, i see.  Well, I'll be around when you're done with…business.  ::Saunters away::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::materializes on the surface and looks around, and notices all the scantily clad people, almost sighs as she realizes she's very over dressed in her black Vulcan robes::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::arrives on the planet. does a quick finger check to make sure he didn't make the chief angry::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 Girl:  Sounds good.  ::turns to watch the crew materialize::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Gives a quick look around to see where they ended up. ::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::walks up to the Capt::  CO:  Capt.  LtJG Maximus Heller reporting for duty sir.

Brett:
 INFO: The crew has appeared in the transporter chamber of one of the major resorts on Risa.  It is the "off-season" so the resort is less crowded than one might think.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::steps off the transporter pad and visually appraises the CEO::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CEO: At ease, lieutenant.  :: Shakes hand. ::  We're on R&R here. 

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::steps off the transporter pad::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CO:  Thank you, captain  ::shakes hand::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CEO: These are some of the senior staff.  :: allows them to introduce themselves. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CEO: Greetings. I am Lieutenant Syrna Rhykmal, Delphyne's Chief Science Officer. ::hands remain behind her back as she introduces herself::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::nods a greeting to the CSO::  CSO:  Pleasure to meet you.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::extends hand:: CEO: I am Lt. Cmdr Donnie Llewellyn, Ships Counselor

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Captain, I shall take my leave of you now… it seems I have arrived with the wrong attire. That I must rectify.

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::shakes CNS' hand:: CNS:  Glad to meet ya.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CEO: I don't know how long you've been down here but you're more than welcome to join us?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CEO: …or you could jump right on those repairs, ::grins::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Very well, lieutenant. Let me know if you want to join us for dinner sometime while we're here?

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CO:  My shuttle just dropped me off a few hours ago.  Would be happy to join ya.

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CNS:  Is it that bad?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Captain a social gathering at meal time with the crew would be agreeable. ::nods and goes towards the nearest visible clothing store::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: We'll keep you posted. And tell you the attire. ::smiles::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CO:  If we decide to have dinner I brought a case of wine from my family's vineyard that could go well.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Tell me? I can see it myself.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::walks into the store and starts perusing the clothing racks::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS/CEO: I haven't been here in… well, a long time. I would like to go diving at some point? Otherwise, I'm all for trying out anything here.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I also would like to go diving, I have only been a few times in the past and really enjoyed

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CO:  Can't say that I've ever been diving but it sounds like fun.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: However if you are up for trying anything I suggest you get one of those little statues, and I am sure you will be trying all kinds of things

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS/CEO: Excellent! Now we just have to convince the CSO to go…

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::sees many fashionable bathing suits… far from her usual covered up, basically Vulcan taste… but as they say… when in Shrikahr… do as the Kaharians do….::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Nice try, counselor, my mom warned me about those things years ago.

Brett:
 @<Attendant> ::Sidles up to the Vulcan and begins making suggestions on proper attire for the different activities Risa offers.  It becomes apparent that most expose much more than a Vulcan robe

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: Well then I suggest we get the CSO and lets go diving

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Good luck, I suggested earlier and she reminded me she's from a desert planet…

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::nods to the attendant and asks the attendant for different recommendations to take to the dressing room to try on::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: The CO, CEO and I are going to go diving and wish you to join us~~~

Brett:
 @<Attendant> ::Patiently points to the next "Higher" level of modest clothing, sincerely friendly and helpful though, Syrna detects, somewhat disappointed in the Vulcan's lack of adventure::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::wonders if later he should find himself a Horga'hn::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::pauses as she hears the counselor:: ~~~CNS: I am not an apt swimmer. I doubt I'd be able to dive properly and I would just be a hindrance to you and the others.~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: you will not be a hindrance, so I will tell the Captain you will be joining us~~~

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS/CEO: Let's find our accommodations and I'll look into booking that diving excursion. We can meet back here for dinner at, say, 1900?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::almost rolls her eyes in annoyance:: ~~~CNS: Trust me, I am far better on land.~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::nods pleasantly at the attendant and takes them to the dressing room::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: Just think of it as zero gravity training.  Where should we meet you?~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO:  Where are we staying?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @~~~CNS: I… you are most insistent…. ~~~::enters dressing room:: ~~~please give me a few minutes while I change my attire. I will ponder your question.~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::tries on the first thing… its black… and next to her pale skin… not pleasant::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I believe the CSO may join us, it is taking some convincing.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: We are at the New Bostonian. It's supposed to be an excellent location.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::considers the green bikini and decides that makes her look like she's on the verge of Pon Farr… no, that will not do….::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::decides on the blue bikini and skirt outfit::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Keep working on it, I'm going to go and book the diving… I'll get an instructor as well.. just in case.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::puts her robe back on and gathers up the outfits and turns to the attendant telling her of her decision::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: The CO is booking the diving trip, should I tell him you are coming~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::finds some matching sandals and makes her purchase::

Brett:
 @<Attendant> CSO: I completely agree.  ::Smiles warmly::  Although, if you got a little sun, I think the black would suit you as well.  I see this a lot with Starfleet types; cooped up on those ships all the time.

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CO:  So 1900 for dinner right?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @~~~CNS: No. I do not think I should unless it is a very easy dive.~~~ Attendant: Indeed. It is rare for us to get sun.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: Yes it will be an easy dive, I am going to tell him you are coming.  He is getting an instructor just in case~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: The CSO said she would be joining us.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CEO: Yes, and I'll have the details for the dive by then.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::slightly sags her shoulders as she finds she just cannot say no to the CNS… it is a personal failing of hers… ::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 CO:  Sounds good I'll see you then.

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::begins to head off to check out the area::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Excellent work, counselor.  I'll make sure to book at least one instructor.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::says goodbye to the attendant and starts looking for a place to put on her new clothes::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Heads for the New Bostonian, confident they can book the dive with all the help they'll need. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::finds a place to change and slips her robe into her bag::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::exits the changing area in her new attire, pins her badge to the left strap of her bikini and begins looking for the crew::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: We will be meeting for dinner at 1900, the Captain said he would have all the dive details then, so meet us back here for dinner.  We are also staying at the New Bostonian if you wish to check in~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @~~~CNS: Understood.~~~ ::starts looking for the New Bostonian to check in::

CEO_LtJG_Heller:
 ::makes his way to the beach and begins walking along the shore taking in the beauty.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::heads for the beach, catching up with the CEO::
