Jabba_99 says:
::at tactical checking through the information he has recently recieved from SFC, purring slightly::
SO_Churchill says:
::Stands at Science 1, running some diagnostics on the sensors::
Host CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::Enters the bridge and takes her seat::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>CNS: Ambassador Trun reports she is comming aboard
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Thank you ::gets up::
SO_Churchill says:
::Looks up from the console and looks around the bridge::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: The ambassador is coming on board now sir, shall I meet you to greet her?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>::goes back to his duties::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::taps a few buttons and checks the extra security he has put in place for the ambassador::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: pauses momenterilly::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS* very well, ill meet you at the docking hatch
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
@::arrives at the hatch to the Elara. Seeing no one there, she looks around:: Self: So this is how my escort treats me
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::heads to the TL:: CTO: The bridge is yours ::smiles then leaves::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::makes his way to the hatch - cursing the ambassadors timing::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost> CTO/SO: First an archeological expedition, now a diplomatic mission. I see Starfleet has a lot of faith in us
SO_Churchill says:
::Grins:: FCO: Yeah, it sure seems that way... ::Turns back to his console, checking for any news on the diagnostics::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
FCO: Well everyone has to do their part, afterall we are meant to be explorers.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::makes her way to meet the XO and ambassador::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost> CTO/SO: Oh joy ... well, at least no one is after me ... or puting me in the brig or anything
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CTO: By the Way Lt, the course to the colony is set. I just need the order
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
FCO: Im sorry about that ensign, but the matter is well in hand now.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::arrives at the hatch and slows down suddenly - noticing the CNS hasn`t arrived yet::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::comes around the corner at a brisk walk and sees the XO::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
*XO*: Mesme to Timrok, do you wish us to start heading for the colony now?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::smirks at the CTOs comment while facing the viewscreen:: Self: in hand ... right
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CTO* not just yet Lt, though i appreciate the intention
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
*XO*: Understood sir, our FCO was just getting a little excited. Mesme out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: nods to the CNS, still smiling at the CTO's comment ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CNS: shall we?
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::motions toward the hatch::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
All: I suppose the ambassador is going to want to be on the bridge when the order is given to leave. Never understood why they want to do that...
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and steps forward::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
ACTION: The door to the hatch opens. on the other side is Kanya trun. A 1.5 meters Betazoid, her hair is dark and well tied in the back of her head. It is almost impossible not to be hipnotized by her big black eyes. Behind her  are two tall betazoid males. they look like identical twins
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
@XO: It was about time ... Commander
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::takes a subconcious step back::
SO_Churchill says:
::Taps a few buttons to start another diagnostics for the scanning subroutines::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AMB: time?.. um sorry to keep you waiting ::frowns::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::takes a deep breathe:: XO: Let us get this done. These are Tin and Tan. They are listed as my body guards but in truth they are my apprentices and will follow me at all times
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::stands by the XO's side, without taking her gaze from the ambassador::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AMB: let me introduce you to Lt Commander Karida Janan, ships councilor and 2nd officer, also betazoid ::thinks:: though you probably know that already :: trying not to appear too uncomfortable::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
XO: Be certain I read all of your crew's records before I arrived. Admiral Ix suggested I did so
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::checks on what tactical exams he has got to oversee later, notes that several of the medical staff are due for their weapons training, smiles slightly::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~CNS: I trully don't understand how you can be a starfleet officer working with these people~~~
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the ambassador, and smiles politely::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AMB: of course, please come aboard ::gives the CNS a second look as she nods ::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
XO: Now are you ready to depart? I have work to do and I want a tour of this ship. I need to get a feeling of all of  your crew if I am to trust you with my life
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
~~~ Amb: There are benefits with every job~~~
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~CNS: Some are quite hidden~~~
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the XO with a blank expression for a moment, then steps aside for the XO and ambassador to lead the way::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::flicks up another item on the tactical display and his tail swishes before he goes back to the general reports coming in from the diagnostics::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::stops a smile from reaching her facial expression::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AMB: we are indeed. i will return to the bridge and get us underway, Lt Janan here will show you around the ship ::smiles AT Janan:: AMB: you will find no one better qualified to give you a "feel for the crew"
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
XO: I don't doubt it ...
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles back to the XO:: XO: It would be a pleasure.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stops himself from thinking anything untoward::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::waits for the empathic group to move on out of earshot, or mindshot?::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::moves forward, Tin and Tan walk behind her without a sound::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::speaks aloud out of courtesy for the XO:: Amb: We can start at the bridge and work downwards, unless you have another preference.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CNS: Actually that sounds perfect
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the ambassador, then enters the TL and waits for the group::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::moves to the turbo lift, passing the first officer on her way. she looks up to him and focus his eyes on his for a second. Then moves on::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::she reaches the TL, Tin and Tan take postion behind her:
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Computer: Bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::heads the opposite direction to the CNS and her tour:: *CTO* get us underway now, and watch out - last time i checked they were heading your way, if anybody needs me - im busy doing something... somewhere
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::stretches dramatically at tactical and moves his hands through his hair::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
*XO*: Understood sir, we will do our best to keep you busy.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
FCO: I believe you can get underway now
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::gets a creepy shiver down his spine then walks on::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost> ::smiles:: CTO: Aye sir. clearing mourings
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie> CTO: The starbase has given us permission to depart
SO_Churchill says:
::Starts reconfiguring the sensors for flight::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
ACTION: Slowly the Starbase doors open and the Elara flies out to the darkness of space
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
All: Lets try and give this ambassador a smooth journey.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::appears a short time later at the Tranquill Nebula::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::watches the TL doors open then steps out onto the bridge::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<EO atch'un>*XO* atch'un to Timrok
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*Ach'tun* Go ahead
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost>::looks behind as the doors open, she is a bit surprised by the anbassador then looks forward again:: CTO: Engaging warp speed ... now
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
ACTION: The stars fly past the Elara at an unimaginable rate and then stabelize as the ship reaches cruise speed
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::enters the bridge looking around:: CNS: A bit smaller than I expected
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<EO Atch'un>*XO*Could you please report to main engineering? we are having a slight problem
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::waits for the ambassador to join her, just nods at her comment then turns towards the bridge crew:: Amb: This is CTO Mesme, OPS solie, FCO Lost ::continues through the bridge crew::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
FCO: A nice smooth exit ensign. ::turns to the new arrivals and gives the CNS a warm smile before checking tactical again::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Self: this will put my memory to the test today.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*EO* it would be a pleasure, i'll be right there
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::looks at Mesme, then at Lost, then back at Mesme:: CTO: I am pleased to meet you ::smiles for the first time since she arrived::
SO_Churchill says:
::Looks around to face the Ambasador, then quickly fixes his view to his console again, tapping buttons all over it::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::turns and gives the Ambassador a nod and smile:: Amb: Its a pleasure to have you onboard.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::finishes his glass of water and heads for engineering - with a smile::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::notes the ambassadors reaction to the CTO::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost> ::whispers to the SO:: SO: Mesme never really had faith in me either ...
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CTO: Your ears are lovely. Perhaps you can join Lt commander janan in touring the ship?
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::enters engineering:: EO_Ach'tun: Report!
SO_Churchill says:
::Looks up at the ambassador again, puzzled:: Amb: I'll take your word for that, ma'am.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::blinks for a moment but doesn't skip a beat:: Amb: Well I'm not required here for the moment, I would be honored
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<atch'un>XO: Well sir, I am not very confident about the repairs they did to our warp drive at the starbase. And since Lt Heller left I am affraid we may not be ready to deal with an emergency down here. Are we expected to go into batle or something similar?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
SO: you should ... Ensign ....
SO_Churchill says:
::Smiles, nods, then turns back to the console::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::smiles back to the CTO:: CTO: wonderfull ::grabs his arm:: CNS: where to next?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::is grabbed by the Ambassador which he thinks is slightly strange, manages to maintain his smile however and relaxes slightly from the initial shock, gives an officer a nod to cover tactical for him::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~CNS: This fine young Lt is the only one saving this ship ... Your FCO is too apathic, your SO too human~~~
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
ACTION: Tin and Tan continue close behind the ambassador (and now the CTO)
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
EO: not at all ensign, this is a diplomatic mission, any resourses you feel you need to work on the warp drive - you can have, is there an immediate problem?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<atc'un>::sighs and his anttenae bend as he does so:: XO: Not if we stay within normal parameters but my advice is not to push her for the time being
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles:: ~~~Amb: Mesme is a first grade officer.~~~ ::looks to judge the CTO's reaction to all this attention:: Amb: Lets head to the shuttle bay, then we can pass your quarters before heading through sickbay to engineering.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::heads for the TL again::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~CNS: Do you know him intimately? i personally wouldn't mind. That tail of his must do wonders~~~
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::follows the CNS tracktoring Mesme::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
EO: understood, we will be in orbit for a while when we get to our destination, you will have more time to work on the drive then
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::nods:: XO: If the locals don't bother us much
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::is pulled along by the much taller ambassador, wondering several things, most of all how far should diplomatic hospitality go::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles:: ~~~Amb: No I do not know him in that way.~~~
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
EO: monitor the drive closely, i want to be informed at the first sign of trouble - it is to be your number one priority, now if you will excuse me
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::wonders why the CNS has put on a smile and gives her a quizzicle look::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<atch'un>::nods:: XO: Aye sir, thank you for comming
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<edit much taller to slightly taller>
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~CNS: too bad, then I will have to discover everything for myself~~~
SO_Churchill says:
::Taps a few commands to start a sensor sweep of the upcoming space::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
EO: you're welcome ::exits engineering - checking the coast is clear ::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::gives the Amb a look and a smile:: Amb: So what do you think of the Elara so far?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::exits the TL again at the shuttle bay and can't for the life of her remember what the shuttle are called so just takes a few steps towards them::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*Computer* Locate Cns Janan
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CTO: Wonderfull since I met you
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::enters the TL:: *computer* Bridge!
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<Computer> Lt Commander Janan is on the shttlebay
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::exits onto the shuttle bay looking around, still holding the CTO by the arm:: CTO: Such smooth fur you have
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::waits for the TL doors to open into the bridge the pokes his head out for a carefull look::
