FCO: Mr. Delgado, I have a message for you as well, now that you jogged my memory. Mr. Polo said to tell you if you get married within a year, you and he are no longer friends. ::grins::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::waiting on Quon to come out of the bedroom, dressed for the dinner::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Heads for the mess hall from her office, paperwork keeping her behind again.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CSO:  Lead the way.  I will follow your lead.  ::Leaves the replicator with a tray full of French fries, grapes, pink jello, and something else hidden behind her back.::

~~~XO: Is this the part where I must say...aww, do I have to?~~~ ::chuckles::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: spots Tayla and the CSO walking towards them, trays fully loaded :: Self: Oh this can't be good.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Gives a grin as they approach the table.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::nonchalantly heads over to the table and sits down at her seat, smiling at everyone in a friendly way:: All: So what good gossip did we miss while we were away getting something more to eat?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Arrives nodding and greeting those she sees, gets place of food and sits down at her chair.::

Computer: What is the current time?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::finishes adjusting his emerald green dress formal dress kimono and comes out to meet his wifey:: XO: What do you think? It is my first time wearing it.

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::Finally the CEO words enter his mind and starts coughing:: CEO: He said what???

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Is wearing standard dress uniform. Not having had time to replicate anything else.::

Host Tim says:
<Computer>CO: Current ship time is 1715

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
FCO: He said if you get married within a year you are no longer friends.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: stares at Tayla and grins :: Self: Time to exit gracefully. All: Excuse me please, I have an appointment.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Chuckles at the CEO.::  CEO:  He didn't say anything about moving in together did he?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Looks at the CMO.::  CMO:  Where you going?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  Oooooh....I like it!  ::admires the kimono quite suitably::  Very handsome.  ::adjusts one of the bands securing a button and gives him a kiss::  All set, my Kressari Samurai?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::carefully hides a spoon with a few green peas in it in her lap and flips the peas up and over right into Delgado's drink.  Looks around as if to see who had the nerve to do such a thing::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::laughs:: CEO: I can imagine, I guess I will have to keep it secret::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
OPS: No, he just said married Cadet. ::chuckles::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
OPS: I have a meeting with a patient's family that I can't miss. Thank you for the pleasant conversation though.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  See dear.  Nothing to worry about.  Now have some jello.  ::Throws another cube in his direction, missing him and hitting the CMO.::

CMO: You're gonna miss all the fun. ::giggles at the CMO with jello on her face::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::grunts with a slight chuckle and a smile:: XO: I find it ironic that it is made of Andorian silk, but I digress. Shall we be off? ::offers his arm to escort his dazzling looking mate to whatever plot the captain is cooking::

::makes small talk concentrating on her food.::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the goings-on::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CSO:  They're just no fun once they reach Lieutenant.  ::Giggles.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::aims some more peas and tries to get them under his collar:: FCO: Not a problem.  Anytime.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes his arm:: CNS:  Yes...I'm starving.  ::heads out the door and next door to the Captain's quarters, ringing the chimes::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::stands up and backs a few feet from the table:: CSO: Oh come on!!!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Takes a grape, and tosses one to the CEO.::  CEO:  You don't think we'd let you get away without having any of the fun huh?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::looks innocent and casually eats an onion ring:: FCO: What?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: I feel as if I should have worn a tuxedo for this. Though I could not find my top hat. ::grins::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
CSO: Ensign, do you think I maintain the replicators on this ship so you can waste resources in a silly display of childishness? ::looks a bit annoyed::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Is almost startled from his thoughts by the Chime. Straightens his tunic and speaks.: Aloud:: Enter

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::laughs and shakes his head:: Self: snotties!!!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  Waste?  We were just sharing our food.  ::Looks totally innocent and sticks a grape in her mouth.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: turns at the door and smiles as she sees the two younger officers tossing food about :: Self: Ah the joys of innocence. :: leaves, heading down the corridor ::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
CEO: Of course...it's called job security. ::giggles and this time aims at Daniels::  Like she said...just sharing resources.

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
OPS: Here...have some peas!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Rolls a grape down the table toward the CEO.  Watches as it wobbles down to her end of the table.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::joyously enters the captain's quarters with Tessa::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::smiles up at her towering husband::  CNS:  Silly! ::turns to see the doors open and smells the aromas, making her even hungrier. Walks in with her Kressari husband::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
OPS/CSO: Perhaps you two hadn't noticed, but you are Bridge Officers now, Senior Staff, and you are Department Heads. You have a duty to set a good example to the crew, especially in public areas.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Catches a few peas she throws in her direction.::  CSO:  You know, I was never one to eat greens.  I prefer ::grabs a grape and tosses it to her.::  fruits.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks the  two over as they enter.:: XO/CNS: Welcome, please come in. ::Gestures slightly.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  We are.  We're making sure everyone gets their daily requirement of fruits and vegetables.  ::Smiles::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::looks up as a stray grape hits her tunic. She simply looks at OPS surprised.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::tries to catch the grape in her mouth but has a hard time because she is laughing:: CEO: We are setting an example.  AN example of how to wind down and have some harmless fun.

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::raises his hands and heads to the replicator to get another pint, feeling a little guilty for leaving the CEO alone with those two devils::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: Captain, thank you.  It smells delicious.  ::notices the table::  Nicely laid out, too.  I didn't know you were such a good cook!  That skill eludes me.  ::says wryly::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Tosses the CTO a jello cube, chuckling.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Catches with mouth.:: OPS: This is not the behavior of a Starfleet Officer you know.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Whispers to the CSO.::  CSO:  Don't worry.  I fixed the replicator so that anyone ordering beer, would get chocolate milk instead.  ::Chuckles.::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Rolls eyes and shakes head, having tried to make a point, but seeing it is pointless::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::giggles and looks over to where Delgado is about to order::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  But we have to have a little fun.  Trust me .. it relieves the stress.  ::Looks over at Gael at the replicator.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::'feels' Tessa's wryness, and follow her polite lead with a nod of agreement::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::watches his pint full of brownish slurry, smells it and then orders wine::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Rolls another grape down the table toward the CTO.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
OPS: I understand just try to show a little restraint. ::thinks to self, "Like me, I desperately want to start a food fight but do you see me flinging grapes, no..."::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: I'm afraid I had to enlist the help of a technician with the replicator, but I hope you will enjoy.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: rings the chime at door ::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Shakes head somewhat amused and catches the grape putting it on her plate.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Nods in agreement with the CTO, giving her a look of support::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  Well, let me help you out.  ::Flings about 3 grapes through the air in her direction.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Oh, I definitely will enjoy a meal is given.  And where would you like the wine?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
CTO: If you prefer...we have onion rings and peas  when you are tired of grapes. ::grins at her::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Quietly scoops some jello on the FCO's chair before he arrives.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CSO: No that’s quite alright thanks.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: waits for a moment and rings it again ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns:: XO: Oh here let me put that on some ice. ::Reaches for the bottle::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
OPS: Cadet!

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::dives under table.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::carries both glasses to the table:: CSO/OPS: Anyone want some chocolate?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO/CNS: It is nice just to relax.  Such a long journey ahead.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Looks totally innocent.::  CTO:  Yesssss?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::holds up a replicated candy like M&M's:: OPS: Now THIS is what everyone wants tossed at them. ::tosses one in the air and catches it in her mouth:: Mmmmm...chocolate!

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: calls out :: Roberta: Roberta are you there?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  How's the beer?

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: Sweet, wanna try?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
FCO: Nah...but I'll take a beer. ::giggles::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Shakes head in disbelief at the antics::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::steps forward and slides a chair out for Tessa to sit when she is ready::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
ALL:  Hey!  Where'd Commander Harker go?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Gesture to them both.:: XO/CNS: Please make yourselves comfortable.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  I'd love to.  ::Reaches over and takes a sip.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: can hear someone moving around inside the room :: Roberta: Roberta, it's Dr. Danara. We had an appointment, remember?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::looks at the CTO under the table curiously:: CTO: You should have asked for the onion rings, Commander....they don't sting as bad as the grapes. ::grins and reaches down to help her out form under the table::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  Thank you, sweetheart.  ::looks at her husband, anticipating eagerly telling the Captain::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
:;dips his fingers in the chocolate milk and paint OPS forehead with the chocolate:: OPS: Here you are honey

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Stands up resuming her seat, thanking the cso but not using her help get up.::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
OPS/CSO: You two better cool your jets or you'll be on the carpet in the XO's office explaining why you shouldn't go up for a Captain's Mast.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Takes the wine and returns with it and some glasses , setting them on the table. XO/CNS: A bit of wine before dinner?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  Commander, they have people in maintenance to clean up the floor.  You don't have to do that.  ::Giggles.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::She looks at the CEO, shrugging.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::helps Tessa to her seat and takes his own chair next to her, then feels her 'nudge' regarding the good news:: ~~~XO: The honor is yours to tell, my love. Or, we could say so together, in unison if you like.~~~

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::waits for the inevitable retaliation::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  You're all heart honey.  Now have a seat, so we can finish what we came here for.  ::flings a pea that had landed on the table previously in his direction.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: hears voices now :: <Roberta> CMO: Coming doctor, just a moment.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
OPS: Actually, that's YOUR department Cadet, so why don't you set a good example and clean up your own mess? ::grins::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes, please...  ::remembers and then shakes her head::  Sorry, Tray, I guess I'll have to decline...  ::smiles as she explains::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  Me?  That's what I have a staff for.  ::winks at her.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::sits in the chair left vacant by the CMO: CSO/OPS: I was at the academy too you know :;grins::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
CTO: Here Commander...these are much tastier than a boring old grape. ::tosses a piece of chocolate candy towards her::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
Whispers to CEO:  They've been warned there may be some extra cleaning needed.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Catches it.:: CSO: Thanks.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS: Alright...I'll start if off.~~~  ::glances at her husband::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks surprised a bit and then remembers.:: XO: Yes...yes of course. CNS: You then? ::Begins to pour some for himself.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CO: I will partake in some wine, sir. Thank you. ::holds his glass::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
CEO: Here you go.  ::tosses her some candy also:: Chocolate cures everything!

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::From under the table flings a couple of onion rings at the cadets legs. Refocuses on the CSO.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  Funny.  ::Takes a scoop of the pudding on her spoon and pulls back on the end letting it fling toward the FCO.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS/CSO: I think Gina is right, why don't we move the foodfight in the holodeck? Or even better, use waterguns there.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Catches the candy, looks at it a moment, then eats it::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CSO: It is just me or does respect for rank go out the window on this ship? ::said in kindly tones, no malice.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: as the door opens Danara sees a rather disheveled woman standing there brushing her hair :: <Roberta> CMO: Please come in doctor. :: ushers her inside ::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::returns the glance at his wife, and smiles at her with her eyes, 'nodding' to her::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain...we have some good news we'd like to share with you first...

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::tossing a few more peas at him:: FCO: Because holographic food doesn't make the same satisfying splat when it hits you.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Pulls the secret object she had with her from under the table, a small watergun, and squirts it at the FCO.::  FCO:  You mean like this?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Takes a seat near the two as they begin.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::watches the pudding land on his shoulder then starts to act as if he was wounded:: OPS: I am dying, the world around me is getting black.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  Just be glad I didn't replicate a supersoaker.  ::Grins at him.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
CTO: ::grins:: Only in the mess hall...when there's chocolate and fruit and a food fight! ::tosses a spoonful of mashed potatoes at OPS::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Good news, I could use some of that. ::Takes a small sip.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::rants one more time and then lies there on the chair with his eyes closed::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: steps inside :: Roberta: I can make it another time if you're busy.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::The potatoes hit her right smack in the forehead.::  CSO:  Hey!  ::Shoots some pudding her way.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::her smile widens and she glances at Quon first and back to Tray::  CO: We are going to make a little addition to the Dublin complement...as it were.  ::'nudges' her husband to explain further::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::slowly slides under the table::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Moves over to the CTO's table to get out of harm's way::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::stands up and puts a piece of celery into Delgado's hands and lays them on his chest:: All: Poor Delgado...brought down by pudding in the prime of his life...::gets hit in the ear with pudding:: Hey!

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Taps commbadge and orders a helmet beamed to her location. It arrives and she puts it on, and finishes eating.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
<Roberta> :: smiles and pulls up a chair :: CMO: Please, sit. I was just preoccupied.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
ALL:  Where's a good medic when you need one.  Looks like the FCO's going to need to be rescued.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: Please sit. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::reaches over and places his palm over Tessa's hand, intertwining his large, scaly fingers twixt hers, smiling for them both::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Giggles as the CTO.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::bites the celery and keep the stem in his mouth:::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
CTO: Thank you Sir. ::grabs a seat::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks to So'Quon for more.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CSO:  You know, I hear celery is good with peanut butter.  But .. since we don't have any, he'll have to settle for pudding.  ::Pushes the plate of pudding over the side of the table onto Gael's stomach.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: Bit high spirited wouldn't you say? ::nods at the OPS, FCO, and CSO.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::dumps her paper napkin into a glass of water and shoots that at OPS but misses and hits the CEO as she passed by towards the CTO:: Ooops!

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CO: Captain...we are pregnant. ::blinks in a hint of surprise as to why he just said "we"::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: hears another noise coming from the other room :: Roberta: Oh, I think I understand now. :: smiles and sits, one ear listening to the noise the other directed at the flustered woman ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Uses her spoon to hurl some grapes in the CTO and CEO's direction.::  Yells out:  Incoming!

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::collects the pudding with the celery and tries it:: OPS: that is not as bad as i feared, but it lacks spices::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::has to stifle a laugh::  CO:  Yes...'we' are.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Stands as So'Quon finally gets the information out.:: CNS/XO: Congratulations.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
CTO: That's putting it mildly... apparently they have never had to go hungry or cold. ::smirks:: Those of us who know better would never do that. As Department Heads they should lead by example, discipline needs to be maintained.

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::ducks as another crewman laughs and tosses a spoonful of something green towards her::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Chuckles at Gael and then suddenly goes pale.::  ALL:  Um guys?  Were we supposed to have a meeting with the Captain?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Looks around at the mess they just made.::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::ducks under the table::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::opens one eye: OPS: Do we?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CNS/XO: I'm so happy for you both.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  Um .. yeah, don't we?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::checks her chronometer:: OPS: Not for another 20 minutes or so. ::tosses a handful of mashed potatoes right at her::

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Enters the mess and looks around rather shocked at what is going on::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CO: Thank you, sir. It is a great blessing for us. ::gently squeezes Tessa's hand and turns to gaze upon her eyes, smiling wide::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
<Roberta> CMO: Doctor what was it you wanted to discuss with me?

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
Self: And they thought I needed to see the shrink?

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
:: sits back on the chair:: CSO: well i think it's just enough time to clean up here and change uniform. ::Waves at Yeoman Schmuck::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: I agree. Relaxing is fine but they do seem to take it a bit far on occasion.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::The mashed potatoes hit her in the face.::  CSO:  Here's some pudding for you.  ::Hurls the pudding at the CSO, and it misses her due to bad aim, as it heads to Yeoman Schmuck.::

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Waves cautiously back at the FCO::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::blushes slightly::  CO: Thank you, Sir!  It will make life a little different.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: Makes me feel a bit stodgy when I need remind them of their positions.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CNS/XO: Dinner is ready, we can discuss it further.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Ducks the pudding and backs out of the mess::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: Would you care for a helmet?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
CTO: You're senior officer... are you going to take things in hand?

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
CEO/CTO: Anyone has an idea about what the Captain wants?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::stand up just in time to see the pudding head towards Yeoman Schmuck and to get hit in the face herself by some squash thrown from across the room::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: Guess I should, was rather hoping to avoid this...::Stands.::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
FCO: No, not a clue, just to keep it quiet from the XO and Counselor.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  And I am hungry.  Seems my appetite has increased.  And you...do you have family?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
All in mess hall: ROOM TEN-HUT!

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: A little? Hmm...~~~ ::shows a mock frown::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Stands to feet, does a Picard pull-down, goes to attention::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
Self:  Ugh!  I hate squash.  ::Notices the CSO get hit with it.  Throws her last bit of mashed potatoes at the CTO hitting her in the face as she calls them to attention.  Then goes to attention.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::wonders why the CTO wants ten huts::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
<Crewman Spacer>::tosses a pie he replicated at his buddy but the CTO's call made him turn at the last minute and throw it directly at her:: Out loud: Oh no!

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::the mashed potatoes hit her faceplate on her helmet.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::chuckles at her husband and looks slightly indignant::  ~~~CNS:  Yes...a little!~~~

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::stands at attention but watches the pie as it sails through the air almost in slow motion straight towards the CTO and CEO::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
Mess hall: That’s it! One more piece of food thrown will be considered an offense if you want to continue this please go to the holodeck.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::sees everyone going to attention and imitates them, trying to ignore the pudding dripping down his nose::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Dodges the pie.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Steps toward the table and pauses.:: XO: I no longer have any family. ::Brightens visibly after the comment.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Only just barely avoids smiling.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
Mess hall: As you were without the food throwing.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
Roberta: I wanted to discuss putting you and your husband on a new regime of exercise, just something easy at first.

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::feels something slide down her face and onto the floor and looks to see a glob of pudding that had landed in her hair::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO/CNS: Please sit and enjoy the meal. ::Uncovers a large vegetable dish in the center of the table.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::licks the pudding from his upper lip, and tries hard not to smile::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Then consider yourself an honorary member of ours, especially since you will be next door.  ::smiles at the Captain, glad to see him happy::  Oh, it looks delicious!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  Aye, Commander.  ::Looks around the room at the mess.::  CSO:  You know, that pudding is going to be hard to get off the walls.  ::Watches as an onion ring that was stuck to the ceiling comes falling down on the head of the CEO.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
<Roberta> :: starts to giggles :: CMO: Oh I think we're already doing that ma'am. :: nods towards the other room ::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::can't help it...starts to giggle loudly at the CEO wearing the onion ring like a crown::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Holds her hands out.::  ALL:  I swear .. I didn't do it!

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::bites her inner cheek as she sits and the onion ring hits the CEO's head., thinks to self "Must not laugh.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
ALL: Well in 15 minutes we have to go visit the captain, so if you don't mind Commander I would take leave and I suggest you do the same.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
OPS: Just please get someone in here to clean this up. ::She says not unkindly but firmly.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::continues to giggle an infectious laugh and Crewman Spacer starts to laugh as his buddy stands there with a pea stuck on the end of his nose::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Begins serving to his guests.:: XO/CNS: Both of you are excited I take it?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Looks annoyed at it hits her, flicks it off nonchalantly, with dignity:: All: If you'll excuse me, I think I need a sonic shower and a fresh uniform before the Captain's meeting. ::Heads for the exit::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::his red eyes brighten up at the sight of the tantalizing dish:: CO: It is something not even my chef of a brother had ever devised. Yes, very much so.

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
Starts laughing then turns toward Tayla: OPS: Shall we go?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::elbows OPS and points to the CEO who must have sat in something unintentionally::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  Aye, Ma'am.  ::Notices the Crewman with a pea stuck up his nose and giggles.  Taps her comm badge and orders a maintenance team for the clean-up.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: catches the drift and nods in return :: Roberta: I see you are. Perhaps we should discuss this at a later time, when you and your husband are more...in a receptive mood?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Heads back to her quarters to clean up::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Giggles as she watches the CEO walk out of the room.::  Whispers to CSO:  I think it was a grape.  ::Makes a face.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  I'm all ready.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Oh, you might say that.  A Betazoid term is one month longer than a human's, so we'll have extra time to prepare.  I need to talk to engineering and operations since we'll need to expand our quarters a room or two.

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::wipes the tears and food from her eyes and gives the CTO a wink as she does a perfect about face only to slip on something gooey and slide out the door her arms waving wildly trying to keep her balance::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
<Roberta> CMO: Oh we're receptive ma'am, very receptive.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::After the CEO leaves. Stifles another grin. :: All: I should get cleaned up as well. ::Nods to them as she catches a slipping CSO.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS/CSO: I would not want to be the crewman who sees her and starts laughing. CTO: Ma'am see you later. :;leads the way out of the mess hall::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CSO: Alright. ::openly grinning now.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Chuckles at the CSO.::  FCO:  Oh my God, I am going to need to stay away from her, or I will be an Cadet for a very long time.  ::Laughing uncontrollably as she takes the FCO's hand.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
CSO/OPS: That was funny, good idea girls.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: Indeed, as well as a suitable crib, stroller....and diapers too. Hmm...

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Of course, use whatever resources you need. ::Nods an affirmative to them both as he takes a bite.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: stands and walks to the door :: Roberta: I think I best leave you alone for now. :: tilts her head towards the other room :: He's waiting, remember?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::waves to the CSO, says goodbye to OPS and leaves, heading for her quarters.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::laughing so she can hardly talk:: CTO: Yes ma'am...thank you ma'am.  I'll go get cleaned up now ma'am. ::gives the FCO and OPS a little wave and walks towards her quarters::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CTO:  See you at the meeting.  ::Places the small squirt gun on the table as she goes to leave with the FCO.  Gives him a peck on the cheek.::  FCO:  You're a good sport, Gael.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
<Roberta> :: giggles and blushes ::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::allows his wife and the Captain to eat first before starting on his dish::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: Hey I grew up with seven sisters, I had to adapt or die. ::smiles and enters in their new quarters::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Thank you.  ::winks at her husband as she 'sees' how disconcerted he is thinking of all the supplies:: CNS:  Yes, I see we will have quite a list for Operations soon.  ::takes another bite with relish::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  You think we have time for a shower before heading to the meeting?

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: steps outside and winks :: Roberta: Oh and remember, use caution please. :: grins and heads down the corridor ::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::hurries to the sonic shower, putting on a fresh dress uniform.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::begins to consume his food slowly, not making a sound until he swallows his food first::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: I surely do, with the time it takes you to take a shower I am not so sure. :;winks and removes his uniform::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: By the way, I've been sensing some gaiety in the mood of some of the crewmen.  Seems like they are coping well with the long trip back so far.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO/CNS: I do have some questions if you wouldn't mind?

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Enters her quarters, pulls off soiled clothes and hops in the sonic shower::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Of course.  Please ask whatever is on your mind.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
FCO:  We'll have to make it a quickie then ::winks at him, removing her uniform and rushing to the sonic shower before him.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::looks at the Captain with eager anticipation as he takes another bite::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods to Tessa as he takes another bite and then wipes his mouth.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::shakes his head and follows::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes a few more bites, her hunger finally dissipating::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
<Duty tac officer>::scans regularly at his station on the bridge.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: as she walks she thinks how wondrous these human crewmen are ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO/CNS: I'm sure both of you have thought it over, but is there any danger to you with delivery?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Turns on the sonic shower, allowing it to clean her.::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Hops out of the sonic shower and gets dressed with a fresh uniform::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::as usual finishes before Tayla and goes to get clean uniforms for the both of them::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Shouts out to Gael.::  FCO:  You know, Gael, I noticed Lieutenant Danara making goo-goo eyes at you today.  ::Chuckles.::  I think she likes you.  ::Hops out of the shower and heads to the bedroom.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::looks upon Tessa, very concerned with that very same question since before they bonded together::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Finishes and heads for the meeting location, shaking her head at the OPS, FCO and CSO's antics.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head slowly::  CO:  As a physician...yes, we considered all the ramifications.  A Kressari child is actually born sooner and smaller than many humanoid children.  Since ours will have the genes of both, it should be just fine, probably easier.  And I do keep very fit.

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::peels off her uniform when she gets into her quarters and walks into her bedroom heading for the showers.  Nearly jumps out of her skin when she hears a voice from her bed::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Finishes his plate and leans back as he takes a drink from his glass.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: She has good tastes. But wasn't she after the Captain?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::She really hated to be stern but some decorum must be maintained. "When did I become the authority figure?" she wondered to herself, remembering some of the stuff she used to pull on people.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Chuckles and gives him a kiss before getting dressed.::  FCO:  Maybe .. but she can't have you.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Checks herself in the mirror and then heads for the meeting, not wanting to be late::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
<Hurrur> CSO: Now that is what I like to see....a naked woman walking into the room.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
<Duty OPS> ::Notices the Kurki is sending an encrypted message at the end of each scan.  Tries to break the encryption.::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: Really? Why so? ::prepare himself to be thwapped::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::tosses her dirty uniform at him and rushes towards the sonic showers:: Hurrur: I'm late...I thought you didn't get off shift until later?

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: checks the chronometer and sees the time :: Self: Oh dear, I just know there is someplace I'm supposed to be now. :: steps into a lift and decides to head the lounge ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Taps him slightly on the cheek.::  FCO:  Really Gael.  You think you can handle two of us.  ::Chuckles.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods.:: XO/CNS: I see you have thought it over carefully. ::Pauses:: But, I want updates from medical at regular intervals. After all I wouldn't want my XO in any danger. ::Holds up his glass as in a toast.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
<Duty tac officer>::maintains tactical watch on surrounding system, scanning everything.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
<Hurrur> ::gets up and follows her, leans against the doorframe:: CSO: And I thought we had a date tonight.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::nods and holds his glass up to the captain's::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: Who me? Nawww, I haven't even begun handling you the way you deserve. ::winks::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::finishes her meal and looks at Quon, a bit surprised that he was worried::  ~~~CNS:  It will be fine.~~~  ::hears the Captain::  CO:  Yes sir.  I will make sure to do that.  The process we have used to make this pregnancy possible is something new, so you might find it interesting.  ::touches her glass to the men's, too::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
<Duty OPS> *CO*:  Captain, I'm picking up an encrypted message coming from a Kukris ship that is scanning us.  They are sending what appears to be an encrypted message at the end of each scan.  I can't decrypt the message, but it appears they may be sending it to Star Fleet Headquarters. :: checks again.::  or possibly SB24.  I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where it's being sent though for sure.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Enters the lounge and finds a spot to park in the corner and waits::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::finishes putting the uniform on and puts the communicator on his chest::: OPS: Ready to go?

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::while in the shower trying to get the food out of her hair:: Hurrur: Can't...got to meet with the senior officers.  Captain's request.  ::steps out and reaches for a clean uniform::  But it shouldn't take long.   Gonna be here when I come back?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::arrives at the lounge, sits waiting.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: arrives in the lounge and sees the CEO :: CEO: Lieutenant, nice to see you again.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Begins to get dressed.::  FCO:  Why Gael!  You've been holding out on me.  ::Gives him a wink.::  I guess you really don't want to sleep tonight, do you?  ::Eyes twinkling.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::touches his glass with Tessa's and Cerdan's, and then hears the curious information over the comm from the Duty OPS::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
CMO: Doctor, good to see you escaped the carnage of the mess unscathed.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Finishes dressing, and puts her comm badge on.::  FCO:  Ready.  Shall we?

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
OPS: After you.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
*Duty OPS*: Stand by.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Heads out of their quarters as they make their way to the lounge, taking the appropriate turbolift's to arrive.::

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
:: smiles :: CEO: It appears so. :: looks for a chair and sits ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::feels considered by the information from the Captain's comm:: CO: I'm not sure I like the sound of that...

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Nods to the CEO and CMO.::CEO/CMO: Nice to see both you once again.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
<Duty OPS> *CO*:  Aye, Captain.

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
<Hurrur> ::smiles and runs his finger down her back as she passes by:: CSO: Where else would I be?  Hurry back! :;watches her rush out after blowing him a quick kiss and goes back to reading the PADD he was reading when she rushed in.  After first disposing of her dirty uniform::

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
::follows OPS to the lounge::

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
CTO: Nice work in the mess, Commander. It was about to get ugly.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO/CNS: Would you accompany me to the lounge for a moment? ::Stands.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::skids into the lounge after OPS and FCO, hoping she wasn't the last one or late::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Arrives at the lounge, and enters.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CEO: Thanks, I hated to do it but as you said it was going to get rather insane.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
CTO: Commander, you look… relaxed.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::stands as well::  CO:  Yes sir, of course.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CSO:  Hey Jamie!  Long time no see.  ::Chuckles.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CMO: Well not being shot at for awhile will do that I guess. How are you?

FCO_LtJG_Delgado says:
:;enters the lounge wondering about the reason for the meeting::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks to So'Quon.:: CNS: Please indulge me.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Sees the CMO, CTO, CEO standing there and gives them a wave.::

CSO_Ens_Dawson says:
::giggles:: OPS: I learned one thing tonight...it is impossible to walk down a corridor with any dignity while you are covered in chocolate pudding!

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::stands and nods:: CO: By all means. ::turns to Tessa:: CO/XO: I was not aware it was protocol for fellow ships in the fleet to suspiciously scan one another in this manner.

CMO_LTJG_Danara says:
CTO: I am well thank you and you're right, not being shot at is a good thing.

CEO_LtJG_Hembrook says:
::Nods to the OPS as she enters::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns toward the door.::
