OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Aye sir....been doing that on a regular basis with no response.  I'll repeat it again, but a little 'firmer' this time.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CSO: Can we confirm it is Pez on that ship?

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Checks ships status and verifies alert condition::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Any answer so far?

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CO: Captain closing on the Ferengi ship. We are now .05 light years away. ETA is 13.27 minutes at warp 9.5

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Sitting at her console, watches over her scans::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CTO*: Beginning alpha shift, can you verify alert condition?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
*EO*: Yellow alert.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: I am almost sure it is Pez, but I want to make sure...

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CTO*: Understood, Engineering out.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Sighs.  Changes screen to look at Cormanii reports again::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
CO: Sir, their shielding is odd and having some problems with it, permission to work with engineering about the shields?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CSO: Very well.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Better to make sure. ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: We could always try the Klingon hailing method sir, if he does not want to answer Federation style hails.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Give it a go...he will have to talk to us sooner or later.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
*EO*: Lieutenant, I am having some trouble with the other ships shield, could you take a look at the readings?

Host Pez says:
@::putters around his bridge wondering if he can outrun the Federation ship::

::Reviews each data link to the bridge and stops at the science data::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::a little irritated at being ignored:: COM: Pez: This is the USS Dublin calling the Ferengi Pez.  Pez...we know that it's you so you might as well answer.  We won't go away.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CSO*: I have the data now, give me a second to analyze.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Send a hailing message that this is the crew of the former USS Gryphon.  That may help tell him who this is.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::looks over at Mia:: OPS: You tell him Mia! ::smiles sweetly::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: Pez: Hello Pez.  Long time, no see.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::snorts thinking honest trader::

Host Pez says:
@COM: Dublin: O'Mallory? Not Spencer?

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CSO*: I recognize that shield frequency, a rotating EM field, similar to Cardassian.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
XO: He’s more likely to be upset to hear that Adams is off the market now.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: I know he liked her a lot...

Host Pez says:
@:: Puts on the video::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:

::leans over to Cassie, quietly so as not to be overheard:: FCO: From what I hear on the trading circuit...this guy is really something. ::grins::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
<Woman> Dr. Jakiel:  Been practicing more.  Heard about the reports on the Cormanii.  I'm not eager to tangle with them.

Host Pez says:
@COM: Dublin: O'Mallory: I see you have a new ship Captain.. break your old one?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::gets the report back, and notices that Pez’ ship seems to be no threat::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CSO*: The hull seems to be reinforced with various  metals...Wait.. change scanner frequency to the upper EM band, 127. 4 terahertz.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::looks at O'Mallory and grins::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: Pez: In a way, yes.  Quite broken.  Care for a tour?

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::whispers:: OPS: You have no idea. This guy is a master of the deal. Just be careful if he corners you. He's also quite the Ferengi with the ladies. ::grins::

Host Pez says:
@::Glances behind him to see what might be seen on the screen::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
XO: Sir. .::Motions him over::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Yes, Lieutenant?

Host Pez says:
@COM: O'Mallory: Dinner and a tour?  You must really want something from me.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins and whispers back:: FCO: That's okay...you should see some of the characters I deal with for the extra supplies. Learned to use what I got around them. ::giggles quietly and winks and then goes back to her console with an innocent look on her face::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: Pez: Want something?  Now Pez, my feelings are a bit hurt.  I just want to get together and chat.  See what you have been up to lately.  Have a good meal...

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
<Woman> Dr. Jakiel:  Our whole department is stepping up combat practice.  Actually, I uhh... ::giggles:: I tripped over my own feet.  I've been awarded extra practice sessions.

Host Pez says:
@::Frowns and puckers lips::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::looks back to her readings laughing quietly to herself::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: Pez: Are you up to it?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
Woman: Sounds like someone else I know.  ::Thinks of a certain OPS::  Well, be a bit more observant.  You're fine now and I'll clear you for immediate return to duty.

Host Pez says:
@COM: O'Mallory: Not wise to stop in space around here Captain.  Can you tow my ship while we meet?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sends a text message to the XO's console stating that she had a few items she could use for trade with Pez::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
XO: With the help of the EO found out some things about there shield. it looks like a rotating EM field, kinda  like Cardassian.  the EO thinks he knows a way to scan his ship, did you want me to try?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Do it.  May be helpful during dinner.. ::smiles::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CSO*: Those hull configurations would be useful in high radiation areas from the looks of it

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::looks back at the CO wondering if he'll accept it::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Tries scanning with there frequency to upper EM band 127.4::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Glances over at the "reserved" biobed::  Woman:  Good luck on practice and don't let me see you in here anytime soon.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: Pez: I think that can be arranged after a security sweep.  Just to make sure.  Not that we don’t trust you Pez, but I have my reasons right now.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::sits on his chair::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Relays shield output configuration to tactical console, noting low output near plasma exhaust::

Host Pez says:
@::Shakes head and mutters:: Self: Hoomans.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::notices a text message on his console and looks at OPS::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
*EO*: Is there any signs they've been near that type of environment?

Host Pez says:
@COM: O'Mallory: Very well.  Transport when you are ready.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
<Woman> Dr. Jakiel:  I won't if I can help it.  ::Leaves sickbay::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
::Scans the ship and confirms that it is Pez::

Host Pez says:
@::Slows ship to impulse::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Instead of tractor beam, perhaps we can beam a team over to man his ship, while he is visiting.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: Sir, I'll have to slow the ship.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
FCO: Slow to impulse and be ready to tractor.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir, slowing to impulse. ::taps the helm controls::

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
XO: Sir, looks like it’s just him.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Standby to transport.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CTO:  I think its better the standard way.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
OPS: What transport room?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Aye sir.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CTO: TR1.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Should I go meet him sir?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: Meet Pez in TR1 and give him a tour of our new ship.  Tell him dinner will be at 1800 hours.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Good.  Anything unusual in his cargo bay?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks around sickbay.  Empty of patients and Drs Taurek and T'Pala working on reports:: Dr. Taurek:  I'm overdue for break.  Sickbay is yours till I return::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CO: Tractor systems ready.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Conduct detailed security sweep of his ship and report anything unusual.

CSO_Lt_Sachs says:
XO: Not that I find out...yet, just lots of creates.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
<Dr. Taurek>  Dr. Jakiel:  Yes sir.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::stands::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Aye sir.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::her ears perk up at the word crates.  Quietly:: FCO: I would love to get a look at what he has in his cargo hold.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Prepares as display calls for tractor beam::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
OPS: You might be surprised.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::orders the honor guard to meet Pez then begins detail security sweeps of Pez' ship::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::leaves the bridge to TR1::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: Remember...be friendly and show him a diplomatic welcome.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Always do, Captain.  ::smiles as doors close::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO,XO: Honor guard standing by in the transport room.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Leaves sickbay and heads for the bridge after getting some tea::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Please make preparations for dinner with Pez.  Include the senior staff.  Let's give him the works.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::steps onto deck 3 and heads towards TR1::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins:: FCO: Cassie, my brothers are traders and I been around them my whole life....nothing surprises me anymore.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Monitors warp power as it goes to standby::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Hopefully it will pay off. ::smiles a bit::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::sees the honor guard "What do we have to do to get info nowadays..."::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Aye sir....shall I bring out a few little extras I just might have?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: I do not suppose I could conduct a safety inspect of his vessel while you’re having dinner with him?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
TL:  Bridge.  ::Wonders if they caught up with the Ferengi ship yet::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
TR Chief:  Energize.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Yes, I think it could be nice touch...

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::taps the console:: CO: Tractor beam engaged.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::honor guard snaps to attention::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: PEZ IS TRANSPORTED TO DUBLIN

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::watches as the little Ferengi materializes::

Host Pez says:
::Looks around at the fleet security and shakes head at the paranoid hoomans::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Do the sweep first.  If you find even the smallest thing out of the ordinary, then you can conduct your inspection.  Let's not get too pushy yet.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Enters the bridge and quietly moves to stand near OPS::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Welcome to the USS Dublin.  ::extends his hand::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Aye sir. ::not happy::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::leans over to Mia:: OPS: Your brothers married Mia?

Host Pez says:
::Steps off pad and carefully takes MacLeod's hand::

Host Pez says:
XO: And you are?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Come on, Pez... don't you remember me?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
FCO: Nope although I'm sort of hoping that one of them will be soon...to one of my best friends from the Shari.  Gotta go get dinner ready. ::grins and calls over Moondoggie to take over::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
<honor guard>::at attention::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  I used to be the Gryphon's CSO.  Now I am the Executive Officer, Commander MacLeod.

Host Pez says:
::Squints at MacLeod:: XO: You seem familiar.

Host Pez says:
XO: Executive officer? My my.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Moves to let Mia leave::  FCO:  Have we caught up to the Ferengi ship yet?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Follow me, I'll take you to a tour around the ship.  Do you know anything about the Norway class starship?

Host Pez says:
XO: No, not like I knew the old Excelsior class.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  I'll show you the place and show you your quarters.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
:: stands up and stops over by the Captain. Quietly:: CO: Sir, I may have a little...um...Deltan wine that I found which might help make Pez more 'at ease'.  Permission to bring it to the dinner?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::Walks over to the Captain:: CO: Sir I was wondering, if perhaps I should man the bridge while you and the rest of the senior staff have dinner with Pez, since we are still at yellow alert.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::raises an eyebrow as Mia leaves:: CMO: Oh hi Doctor. Yes, we have and we're hosting the Captain of that ship.

Host Pez says:
XO: And my ship?  Tractored? And at warp?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Don't worry about your ship, it should be in our shuttle bay by now.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
OPS: Yes.  Also, I have sent a bottle of whiskey to the dining area already.  Make sure it gets put out also.  I know Pez liked it before.

Host Pez says:
::Stops and glares at MacLeod:: XO: In your shuttle bay?!!!

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Hears Mia's comments about senior staff and dinner::  FCO:  Oh really?  How fun. ::says sarcastically::

Host Pez says:
XO: I said to tractor it!

Host Pez says:
XO: You have no authority out here Starfleet.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins:: CO: Aye sir. ::turns and almost skips out to the TL and enters it with a little bounce grinning::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  It's been that way.  No one is boarding your ship, I guarantee you.

Host Pez says:
::Turns back to the transport pad::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: Oh yes, Pez is an interesting guest to be sure.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: I was hoping you could join us for dinner so you could ask question also, but I understand.

Host Pez says:
XO: Send me back... I'll have nothing to do with pirates. ::steps up on pad::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Notices a reading that isn't quite right, and shouts to a crewman:: Pellin: Check that tractor relay, it doesn't look right

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::sees Pez stepping back onto the transporter pad::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Aren't all Ferengi's?  All senior staff have to come to this lovely dinner?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Well, I do not believe Pez likes Klingons, and some one with command experience needs to watch over the ship sir.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  What are you talking about?  You requested us to tow your ship in to our shuttle bay.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: I think so but if you would like to send your regrets I'm sure the Captain would understand. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Very well.  When I head to dinner, you have the Bridge.  Anything on your scans yet?

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
<Pellin>: Aye sir, I can reroute to another relay?

Host Pez says:
XO: I clearly asked to be towed... not captured by you.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Nothing, sir, of course I doubt we find anything, Pez, has experience hiding stuff.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
Pellin: Do it, we don't want to lose the beam when it's load is so close to the ship

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez: You're not being captured, Pez.  Did we ever do anything harmful to you before?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Smiles::  FCO:  I'm hoping sickbay will have some unexpected emergency cases right about then.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: But knowing you...you are experienced at finding stuff...

Host Pez says:
XO: Mr. XO... release my ship and tow externally or we have nothing to discuss.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: I think I hear your assistant calling you now... ::giggles::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Perhaps if I personal inspect his vessel, but I am fairly certain, we’ll discover nothing by scanning, and I doubt Pez will sit still for us stepping foot on his ship.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::heads up to her quarters and rummages around in her closet finally bringing out a small box and a large bottle.  Then heads down to the diplomatic deck and opens up the VIP Dining Hall.  Moves around setting things out and getting the stewards set up, humming as she goes::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Don’t want to upset him until we have had some discussion...

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
*OPS*:  What is Pez ship current status?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
FCO:  I wish!  Why are we hosting this captain?

Host Pez says:
::Crosses arms:: XO: Well? Release my ship or send me back.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> :: Looks at his console:: *XO*: Just tagging along in the tractor beam like a little puppy, sir.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: I know a visual inspection would be better, but not right now.  Don't want to miss an opportunity to get some information.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: Long story, going back to the days of the Gryphon. Pez was a friend of the former Captain...well sort of.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::looks at Pez::  Pez:  See?  It's outside.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: I agree.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*FCO*: We’re switching a relay in the tractor system, you should only see a slight power fluctuation and nothing more.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Shall we?  ::shows the way::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
FCO:  So this is just a friendly little meeting.

Host Pez says:
::snorts::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Just scan the heck out of it.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
*EO*: Acknowledged Ensign.

Host Pez says:
::Slowly steps off pad and joins MacLeod::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: No meeting with Pez is friendly, more like a competition.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  I don't remember you to be such a distrustful guy.  ::walks along the corridors with Pez::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::opens up the box and sets out the Andorian truffles on a plate.  Pours the Deltan wine into a decanter and also the Captain's whiskey. Looks over the table the stewards were setting and glances at the menu the chef came up with at the spur of the moment:: Chef Boyardee: This looks great.  I don't know how you do it on such short notice.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Looks puzzled::  FCO:  Competition?  For what?

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: You name it. Pez is always trying to get something for nothing....you know, the master wheeler dealer.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Chef Boyardee> :OPS: Zank you, Enzegn....it iz a pleazure to zerve....now I go and tend to my poofs....

Host Pez says:
XO: Been through a lot Mr. MacLeod.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  So did we... so did we.  Tell me, did you ever hear anything from the Gryphon's destruction?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> ::barks with laughter at overhearing the two ladies:: FCO/CMO: Like whoa....better not tell that to Ensign Clooney....she gets all atwitchin’ when there's a good trade going on.  Regular scrounger that one.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Of course sir.

Host Pez says:
XO: Yes… I did.  Now that was very bad news.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Ah, your basic opportunistic entrepreneur.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::gets an idea::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Sir we launch a few probes, we can used them to bounce scans off, scan the ship from all directions,

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::smiles at Moondoggie:: CMO: That's Pez.

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
<Pellin> EO; The relay is bypassed, I'll get a new one installed.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  A ship's destruction is always bad news... worse when it's my ship.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
Moondoggie:  Then she'll be eager to meet with this Pez.

Host Pez says:
XO: It was a good ship... so how's Captain Spencer?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> CMO: Totally....

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::ponders a moment::  CTO: Make it so.  If Pez gets wind of it though, make it look like a maintenance check or something of the probes.

Host Pez says:
::Looks around as they walk the corridors::

EO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
Pellin: Very good crewman, ::Smiles as he goes off to complete his task::

Host Pez says:
XO: Where does the tour go?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  You mean Admiral Spencer...  ::smiles::  She's fine... has a permanent chair at Starfleet Headquarters.  And well married to Captain Lynam.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: We can inform them the probes are to make sure his ship hull is not suffering any stress from our tractor beams.

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
Moondoggie:  Maybe she can keep him occupied all night.  ::Smiles::

Host Pez says:
::spins head:: XO: She married?!

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::giggles:: CMO: Just hang on to your scalpel. If Pez decides he wants it, he'll find a way to con you out of it.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Well, the well married part I suppose. ::giggles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::turns around and sees that everything is ready.:: All: Wow...guys..this is great.  Only this department could whip up a VIP meal in less than half an hour.  Good job.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Works for me...

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::reads some proves for launch::

Host Pez says:
::exhales deeply:: Self: So she couldn't wait for me. ::shakes head::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Aye, some time ago.  ::looks at Pez::  Come on, Pez... Don't feel bad.

Host Pez says:
::Looks up at MacLeod:: XO: Easy for you to say.  Where are we headed?

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  There are lots of nice girls out there waiting for you.  ::feels weird by saying that::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  I'll be leaving you at your quarters.  VIP quarters. ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> : CMO: Get two traders bartering and you might as well call it a night....I once heard her going at it with an Andorian for six hours straight.  ::sees his console light up and turns his attention to it::

Host Pez says:
::Eyes widen:: XO: You have some to share?

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
FCO:  I won't get anywhere near that little...Ferengi.  I'll attend but I'll stay out of the way.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:   Eeerrrr... actually.....  no.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::has the stewards tend to their serving stations:: *CO*: Sir, the dining hall is set up for whenever you are ready.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::programs the probes to keep their position and launches them::

Host Pez says:
XO: And what is it your Captain really wants to know?

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: Smart idea doctor.

Host Pez says:
XO: For that matter what are you doing this far from Federation space?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*OPS*: Very well.  As soon as Commander Macleod shows up after his tour, let me know and I will be right there.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::watches as the probes take up position, and has the ships computer begin the scanning pattern::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::arrives at the VIP quarters::  Pez:  You'll know during dinner.  I'll be here by 1800 hours.  Be ready by then.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CO*: Aye sir. ::twitches a napkin into place::

Host Pez says:
::Glances into the quarters:: XO: I see.  So I'm your "guest".

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Did you ever feel otherwise?  ::gets closer and whispers:: I know you'll get a nice gift from Captain O'Mallory.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
Pez:  Remember, 1800 hours sharp.  See you then.  ::turns and leaves::

Host Pez says:
::Watches MacLeod leave then enters the quarters::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::steps into turbolift:: TL:  Bridge.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::wanders out into the corridor and sees the XO and Pez at the VIP quarters door.  Stops the XO as he passes by:: XO: Sir, the Captain wanted to be informed when you were done with the tour.

Host Pez says:
Computer... comm to Captain O'Mallory.

Host Pez says:
<Computer>Pez: Communications is open.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
::checks the sensor readings and sees the probes in position::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::holds the turbolift’s doors::  OPS:  Well, I'm done by now.  I'm heading to the bridge, will talk to him personally.  Is everything set up for the dinner?  1800 hours?

Host Pez says:
*CO*: Captain O'Mallory... I strongly suggest that we not stay in this vicinity... we need to be at warp speed.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Aye sir...whenever you are ready.  I'll be here until then.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Good.  Heading to bridge?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*Pez*: Why and what heading should I proceed?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her head:: XO: no sir...I want to double check on the appetizers, but thank you.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::hears the worry in Pez’ voice::

Host Pez says:
*CO*: This is not a place you want to be a sitting Qualfim... suggest the heading I was on.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::nods:: OPS:  Very well.  And good job, Ensign.  ::smiles and releases the doors::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
::Whispers::  FCO:  Is there something wrong with this part of space?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::checks to make sure the computer will beam the probes back on board before they run out of fuel::

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CMO: Supposed to be very dangerous.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
FCO: Recall the heading from Pez' ship and input into our flight.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::steps onto the bridge and listens the COM between the CO and Pez::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins and turns back to the dining room::

Host Pez says:
::walks to replicator and orders a cool glass of wulfmiff::

CMO_Ens_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Maybe someone should alert sickbay when we enter a dangerous part of space.  ::Feels a little concerned::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
CTO: Recall the probes.  It sounds like Pez might actually be worried about us staying here.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir. Setting course to previous readings.

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Sir, as you are aware by now, Pez is in his quarters.  I'll be there to get him by 1800 hours.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Something has Pez spooked sir,

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*Pez*: Are we in danger here?

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
CO: Aye sir ::Recalls the probes:: Probes recalled sir

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: Very good.

Host Pez says:
*CO*: You may be.

Host Pez says:
::sits and sips his drink::

XO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Sir, what's going on?  Probes?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
FCO: Engage warp 4 on Pez' course.

FCO_LtCmdr_AdamsMacLeod says:
CO: Aye Captain, engaging warp 4 on previous course. ::taps the helm controls::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::goes back in and thinks that maybe flowers would look nice as a centerpiece....orders a bouquet from the arboretum and sits down to wait for the others::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*Pez*: I am trusting you on this Pez.  All these years we have known you...I am hoping you are not leadin’ me astray...

Host Pez says:
*CO*: Trust, Captain, goes both ways.

Host Pez says:
