CSO_Rya says:
@:: In her quarters waiting to see if Drayan responds to the message she sent hours ago.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Finishes putting away the last of the boxes.::  OPS:  Come in...

Host CO_Senn says:

TO_KTracht says:
@::in his tactical station on the bridge::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Walks in::CNS: Am I bothering you?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles and fixes them unnecessarily:: CO: Do they make me look sinister and cool? I was going for that sinister and cool look.

CSO_Rya says:
::Sighing, Alara adjusts a couple of framed pictures and restrains herself from asking the computer if there are any messages for her for the umpteenth time.::

CNS_Azhure says:
@OPS:  Hey there lt.  No, you are not.  I am just putting things away.

Host CO_Senn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: SFI: It might be... for terran lore. I'm afraid we don't share the same cultural background.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
#::reaches orbit, beams down to his reserved room on Myrtle beach::

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::enters his office and finds an officer:: SEC: What are you doing? I thought I was the last one. SEC> Just finishing sir. CTO> Ok.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Looking over at her packed bag, she debates just taking the Mirabel and just going, but no, he said they were in the middle of a murder investigation. She couldn't just drop by.  Betazed perhaps?::

OPS_Taylor says:
@CNS: How are your quarters? Comfy?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: Ahh, too bad. I was at least shooting for 'cool'. ::looks at her complete lack of anything to take to Edwards. equal to his own:: Are you ready, Captain?

Host CO_Senn says:
::the hint of a grin in her lips::

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: Yes, I am. Let me check if the Admiral has arrived yet.

CNS_Azhure says:
@OPS:  Not sure as I have yet to 'feel' them out.  I will give they are much roomier then captains yacht.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: Of course. ::prepares to wait again::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::changes into an almost-revealing swimsuit and a sleeveless shirt, along with a pair of advanced sunglasses.. 100% UV protection, along with built-in circuitry that measures the amount of sun being absorbed and warns the user when he is about to burn::

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::grabs a PADD a makes a last minute check of internal memos:: Self: A new counselor? What happened to T'Salea? ::accesses the picture of Azhure:: Wow! I think I'm going to pay her a visit, just to make sure it's everything fine with his quarters and stuff.

Host CO_Senn says:
::walks towards one of the available consoles and finds out that Edwards just checked in:: SFI: He appears to have just made it in...

CSO_Rya says:
@::Calculating the travel times, Alara decides to give Drayan 24 hours before leaving. What to do in the meantime? hmm. Scotland. No she doesn't really want to visit family there before seeing her parents - no point in starting the gossip mill about the baby yet.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
SEC> ::looks at CNS' picture:: CTO: Just making sure..sir? How nice from you.

OPS_Taylor says:
@CNS: The reason why I am here is that I want to talk about my family being aboard.

Host CO_Senn says:
::taps her badge, safest way to find somebody even if you are on leave:: *ADM* Senn to Edwards.

CTO_Nimitz says:
@SEC: Just a professional visit. SEC> CTO: Absolutely, sir.

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Points to the very comfortable couch she 'acquired' and goes to the replicator and gets some tea.::  OPS:  I think it would be a great idea.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::joins her::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Remembering Captain Senn's comments about the beach, Alara decides that relaxing by some water and sunning herself would be the perfect way to spend the day.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::heads out of his office, locks it up after SEC is out and takes the nearest TL::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Sits down:: CNS: Even if Little Mikey is 3 Months old?

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::taps his comm badge::
*Senn*: Edwards here. I'm just leaving my room now.

Host CO_Senn says:
*ADM* We will join you shortly. Senn out.

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: Where is your PADD, commander?

CNS_Azhure says:
@OPS:  The one thing I have learned in life, is that no matter where you are, there is no such thing as absolute safety.  If you have the chance, spend as much time with your loved ones as you can.  Tomorrow they may not be there and all you will have is memories of what ifs. ::There is a sadness in the back of her eyes as she pours the tea::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Rummaging through her drawer, Alara pulls out her favorite swimsuit -- after all this isn't Betazed -- and a light, gauzy green wrap.  Some light shoes, sunblock, a towel, protective eyewear.  Glancing in the mirror she sucks in her belly. Nope, didn't make the slight bulge that is the baby go away. Oh well.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: I don't have one. ::smiles:: In honor of the liberal feel of this debriefing, I just memorized what I need to tell him. Why... should I get a padd?

Host CO_Senn says:
::shakes her head and walks with him to the safe boxes area:: SFI: That's good for you, but I wonder if his memory is as good as yours.

OPS_Taylor says:
@CNS: You ok?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::digs in his pocket:: CO: Well if necessary I can record it on my commbadge and transcribe it later. But, for now, I just want to enjoy the sand and surf. ::thinks:: If you're ready...?

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Hands him a cup of tea::  OPS:  Yes... thank you.  Experience and sorrow that has never really healed.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::chimes Azhure's door::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Looks up::  OPS:  My day for visitors.  CTO:  Enter.

Host CO_Senn says:
::retrieves her PADD and turns to look at West:: SFI: I am ready now. Shall we?

OPS_Taylor says:
@CNS: Yes it is.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::enters the beach wearing black shorts and a gray sleeveless shirt.. sees two people talking in the distance, upon closer examination he sees that they are Captain Senn and Commander West.. he walks casually towards them::

CSO_Rya says:
::Makes her way to the turbolift and the transporter room and in short order finds herself standing on Myrtle Beach.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: Of course. ::spots Edwards in the distance:: Or we could stay here. ::gestures toward the approaching figure::

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: Or meet him halfway ::smiles and starts walking::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Goes and gets another cup::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::starts off after her:: CO: You seem at home here, Captain. Spent a lot of time on beaches?

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::waves to Senn and West as they approach::

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: No, I was raised at a desertic area turned into farms. I am used to sand.

OPS_Taylor says:
@CTO: Lt. How are you?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::waves back boyantly, caught up in the moment::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: Ahh, I'm used to neither. Not by upbringing anyway. It's a nice change though. And the.. ::looks around:: The scenery is magnificent. ::grins::

Host CO_Senn says:
::makes a face, but quickly shakes her head:: SFI: I can quite imagine...

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::on steping into her quarters, realizes she's not alone:: OPS: Fine. CNS: Cmdr, pleased to meet you, I'm Lt Nimitz, chief tactical and security officer.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::chuckles softly as they approach Edwards::

CSO_Rya says:
::Takes a deep breath of the tangy air.  Recycled air doesn't come close to the real stuff.  Smiling, Alara slips out of her shoes and begins walking across the sand, heading towards the surf.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Edwards:: ADM: Admiral.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Walks over to shake his hand.::  CTO:  Hello Lt.  Sit down and have some tea.  How can I help you?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::waits standing slightly behind Senn::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::shakes his head:: Senn: We're on shore leave, call me Mike.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
@ :: leaves his quarters lost in thought contemplating the last mission ::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods:: ADM: Mike. ::tentatively:: I assume you know Commander West... Jim.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::offers his hand:: ADM: Admiral. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Sir.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
Senn: Only from reports I've read.. I don't believe we met officially. ::extends hand::

CSO_Rya says:
::Finds a nice spot with a good view and spreads her towel out, drops her shoes on it and begins to slather on the sunscreen.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::sits down and looks at the tea but not interested:: CNS: Actually, I was about to leave the Europa when I saw the memo saying you had joined us and decided to come over and make sure everything it's ok and maybe put a date for an interview ::avoids the word date:: You know,as security officer, I like knowing the people I work with.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::shakes Edwards' hand:: ADM: Sir, I have to say I wholeheartedly approve of your choice of venue for this debriefing.

Host CO_Senn says:
::resist the urge to roll her eyes and yell "men!" out loud::

CNS_Azhure says:
@CTO:  But of course.  In both of our jobs it is good to know the crew you are working with.  I for one am considering going down to the planet.  I have not been on Earth since a graduated from the academy... well, we won't go into how long ago that was.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
West: I'm glad you approve.. James? Jim? I don't get to visit many beaches anymore..

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at Taylor::  OPS:  What about you?  Will you go down to the planet?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::takes his hand back:: ADM: Jim is fine, sir. Actually, it's been my personal belief that those that make Admiral should automatically get their own personal beach. Perhap we should draft a proposal to the Federation Council on this?

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
@ :: heads to the transporter room with his duffle bag containing proper attire for a summer day on the beach ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
@CNS: Sounds good to me. OPS: What about you?

CNS_Azhure says:
@OPS:  I think it would ba good idea... and talk things over with your wife.

Host CO_Senn says:
::spots some nice tables under colorful beach umbrellas:: SFI, ADM: May I buy you a drink? There's a nice view from that place...

OPS_Taylor says:
@CNS: Why not my family is there.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
West: I don't know if I would go that far.. however my new ship is rather nice. Remind me to show you around later. The USS Praetor, recently commissioned.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks at the transporter operator :: Chief: The same co-ordinates as the rest of the crew please...

CSO_Rya says:
::A shadow crosses over Alara as she settles down on the towel. Opening her eyes, she sees a waiter hovering nearby.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::starts off toward where Senn pointed;: ADM: Defiant Class, right? She's got some improvement's I've read. A little more spice to her bite. ::smiles at him, then Senn::

CSO_Rya says:
<waiter>: Can I get you something from the bar Miss?

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Smiles::  OPS/CTO:  Give me a moment to change into something more beach formal and I will be right with you.

Host CO_Senn says:
::men and their toys... she smiles back pleasantly::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: materializes on the planet and looks around ::

CSO_Rya says:
::Thinks about it for a minute:: Waiter: A glass of lemonade would be nice.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::pulls out chairs for both of them:: CO/ADM: Sirs...

Host Adm_Edwards says:
Senn: I'll have a martini.. shaken, not stirred.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Slips from the main room into her bedroom.  Advantage to being a counselor::

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes the offered chair and looks lazily at the sand:: ADM: It will be my pleasure.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: sees the CSO of in the distance and heads that direction ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::takes a seat and removes his shades, resting them on the table::

CSO_Rya says:
::Wipes some sand off of her leg that the waiter, accidentally she supposes, kicked there and is now sticking to the sunscreen.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::signals for the waiter:: ADM: If I may, sir... errr... Mike, I would like you to have this ::hands him the PADD::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Slips into a simple fitting swimsuit with a flowered wrap.  Grabs some beach items and goes back out to join the two men.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::crosses his leg on his lap and sits back::

Host CO_Senn says:
ADM: It's my report on the recent events. Although the situation has been handled for now, it leaves many questions unanswered.

OPS_Taylor says:
@CTO: Ready to head down?

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::keeps his shades on and takes the PADD.. begins reading::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Picks up the tea items and puts them away::  CTO/OPS:  I am ready if you two are.

Host CO_Senn says:
<Waiter> CO, ADM, SFI: Good afternoon. What would you like?

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::jaw drops and inche or two:: OPS: ...........eh...... I mean, yes.

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara looks around at the people on the beach while waiting for the waiter to return and grins when she spots a familiar looking Klingon.:: Shouts: M'Tor! ::Waves.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: approaches the CSO and makes a shadow in front of the sun :: CSO: Am I disturbing Commander ?

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Shakes his head::

Host CO_Senn says:
Waiter: ::points at the admiral:: The gentleman would like a martini... shaken, not stirred. I would like sex on the beach. And this other gentleman... ::looks inquiringly at West::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks up:: Waiter: I'd like something fruity, please. Surprise... ::overhears Senn:: ...me...

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at the gentlemen and heads out her doors, the thongs of her shoes sounding lightly on the metal decking.::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::blinks::

CSO_Rya says:
::Grins up at the tactical officer.:: M'Tor: Not at all. Have a seat. ::gestures to an empty spot on the rather large towel.::

Host CO_Senn says:
<Waiter> ::nods:: All: Right away. ::turns and leaves to get their order::

CTO_Nimitz says:
@CNS&OPS: Let's go. ::doors open:: CNS: Ladies first, ma'am.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::coughs a bit and fixes himself in his seat:: ADM: So... Admiral..

Host Adm_Edwards says:
West: Yes.. Jim?

Host CO_Senn says:
::leans back on the chair, her sandals digging into the sand. It feels warm and comfortable, and West's face was worth asking for that drink::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: eyes the towel and sits down his back quite straight :: CSO: Thank you...

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Exits and heads for the nearest TL.::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::walks behind the CNS::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::tries to come up with something:: ADM: Just making smalltalk, Sir. ::grins:: So are you here with your family or, just a vacation from the monotony?

CSO_Rya says:
::Grins at how proper he's sitting and idly wonders how he'll take her next question.::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
West: I'm actually here for a meeting at Starfleet Command. I was already en route for Earth when the meeting was announced, so I was among the first to arrive.

CSO_Rya says:
::Picking up the bottle of sunscreen, she smiles at M'Tor.:: M'Tor: Could you help me out? I can't reach my back.

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::follows them into the corridor::

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Steps into the TL, the doors closing behind the two Lts.::  Computer:  Transporter room one.

Host CO_Senn says:
<Waiter> ::returns with their order and places the glasses on the table:: All: I trust it to be to your liking. ::meets Senn's eyes:: Enjoy your... er... drink. ::grins and leaves::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::makes a mental note of that:: ADM: Ahhh, I see. ::accepts the fruity confection::

Host CO_Senn says:
ADM: Which gives you two weeks to enjoy yourself between now and then. ::takes a sip of her drink::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::takes his drink, looks to be sure it is indeed shaken and not stirred::

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Really. I would if I could, but I can't and I burn very easily.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and looks from the bottle to the Rya's back :: CSO: I .... :: frowns and swallows :: I shall try and accommodate you...

CNS_Azhure says:
@::Steps off the TL which has gone very quiet and enters the transporter room.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: takes the bottle and makes a face at the smell ::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
Senn: Correct. I haven't had an official shore leave since leaving the Orion, so I don't mind.

CSO_Rya says:
::Pulling her hair back over her shoulder, Alara tries to smother her grin.:: M'Tor: Thank you.

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Walks behind the CNS::

Host CO_Senn says:
ADM: And I thought that it was us on the Europa who didn't get enough shoreleave ::chuckles::

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::all nervousness is gone when he remembers Taylor is married::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Plays with the marriage band with his thumb::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::lets the brass talk as he gazes out on to the beach::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: puts the cream on Rya's back and begins to rub trying not to rub too hard ::

CNS_Azhure says:
Transporter chief:  Three to beam down to the beach.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
West: I finished reading K'Tang preliminary report.. he said that he will write a song about how you and him overpowered Raven and saved the ship and crew. He will forward the completed version to you.

CTO_Nimitz says:
@::materializes on the beach::

Host CO_Senn says:
::grins impishly, and then tries her best to erase the grin out of her face. It is sure a serious matter for the Klingon, and an honor for West::

CSO_Rya says:
::Giggles at the ticklish feeling and then, taking pity on the Klingon...:: M'tor: Thank you very much. That's plenty.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Materializes on the beach::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: gives back the bottle thinking the human is so fragile ::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks around as the sun warms her and sighs, feeling her feet sinking into the sand::  CTO/OPS:  Now this is life...  ::Closes eyes, her face to the sun.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks up from the beach suddenly:: ADM: Sir? Oh, right, K'Tang. Well...it was an honorable thing we did. I still have to have Paragon looked into before I can risk bringing him back online. In the meantime, I'm at Captain Senn's disposal.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::wearing his "warrior shorts" for the first time, with Kahless on the butt and a bat'let on the front::

Host CO_Senn says:
::sips her drink, avoiding eye contact with West:: SFI: I will  let you off the hook after the admiral is debriefed, commander. ::then she looks at him with a look that clearly conveys that he is still in the doghouse as far as she is concerned::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks around:: CNS/CTO: This is great!

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Now I can sun myself all I want and still sleep tonight.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::tries to avoid that particular loo, glancing at Edwards for some sort of support, or perhaps a spontaneous coronary::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::raises eye brow, wondering what West is implying by that statement::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: looks around at the beach and notices lots of people doing the same :: CSO: What is the purpose of this ritual ?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the two men::  CTO/OPS:  Well gentlemen, do you have anything in mind?  Shall we join the others, enjoy the waters ::Eyes the ocean longingly:: or other?

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara looks around:: M'Tor: What do you mean lt?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::takes a deep breath:: CNS&OPS: I love beaches, whatever you want to do is fine by me.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
CSO:  Staring at the sun motionless.. does this bring you closer to .... your creator ? ... I am not sure if I have the correct term ?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::finally offers the captain an apologetic glance and feels a little uncomfortable::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Moves off to the side, drops her 'gear' and points to the water.::  CTO:  Last one in pays for dinner.

Host CO_Senn says:
::shifts her attention to the admiral:: ADM: I trust that report is complete enough. I hate to bring you paperwork during your time off, but I am sure you share my concern.

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Ah, I see. Well, it might for some people. For me it just feels good. Here stretch out. ::She moves over to give M'tor space to stretch out without touching him so that he can relax.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Without waiting, her long legs flash in the sun as she heads for the cool waters.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks towards the bar, and watches the CNS and CTO race::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
Senn: Yes, I understand. I've sent a message to Starfleet informing them of what we know.. they are contacting all ships with this computer system to search for the error.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: stretches out his legs in an imitation and places both his hands on the sand behind his back ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::watches the exchange with occasional interest, keeping track of things but making a point to not meet Senn's gaze too often::

CSO_Rya says:
::Grins at him and pushes his shoulders.:: M'Tor: All the way down and shut your eyes.

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods:: ADM: And... ::wishes she was able to ignore the subject and that by ignoring it, it would just not be an issue:: I am sure you got a report from Starfleet Medical about my Executive Officer, Commander Zaldivar.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::keeps himself behind on purpose to enjoy the view:: Self: My God! What stupid we men are sometimes!!!

CNS_Azhure says:
::With a sprint and a dive, catches a wave and swims under it.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: falls on his back as the sand flies in his eyes ::

Host CO_Senn says:
::still unable to believe that a Q decided to kidnap him::

CSO_Rya says:
::Coughs as some sand gets in her mouth.:: M'Tor: Well, okay. Now. Keep your eyes closed and let the sun warm your skin and listen to the waves.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
Senn: I have.. ::not wanting to go into detail::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sits and sees the CO and Company across. but Sits away and orders a Orange Juice::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: feels the sand in his pants and attemps not to itch ::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods, not wanting to go into detail either, just making sure he is aware of the situation. She is in no hurry to start scouting for new XOs::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::gives Senn a newer, sympathetic look, knowing she was close to her first officer::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::when he reaches the water suddenly stops:: IT's COLD!!!!

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara stares out at the waves while listens for a change in M'Tor's breathing. She's waiting to "hear" and to sense him relax.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::catches West's glance and tries to smile, failing miserably. She takes the drink again to finish it before it warms up::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Comes up for some air and turns back to look at the CTO::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::blinks and sits back up:: ADM: I think we may have taken enough of your time. My report will be there for you when you want it.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: hears someone laughing and diving in the water, opens briefly his eyes to see a young girl swimming in the water and closes once more his eyes taking a deep breath ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::takes another deep breath and jumps into the water:: ::under the water:: IT's very COLD!!!! <and wet>

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sips on the Orange Juice and watches the CTO Freeze::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles and swims back to where the CTO is::

CSO_Rya says:
::Speaks quietly:: M'Tor: Resting on the beach is about letting go of your worries and relaxing your body.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::nods at West::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
West/Senn: Well, if you'lll excuse me. I haven't gone for a swim in a long time. I'm in Presidential Suite 5 if you have anything further. ::stands::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::rises with him:: ADM: Good day, Sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
::stands as well:: ADM: Enjoy your vacation, Mike. I think I will be around... ::smiles:: at least the next few days. You should have no problem finding me if you need to.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CNS: I haven't done this since I was a child

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::nods and walks off towards the water, wondering if his new shades are waterproof..::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: exhales :: CSO: I am not accustomed to relaxing in this fashion ... :: sits up ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CNS: Too many holodeck beaches made me forget how cold real water is.

CSO_Rya says:
::The waiter comes back and accidentally spills the lemonade on M'Tor.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Reaches the CTO::  CTO: You don't know what you have been missing then.  You should do it much more often.   I once read about Human mermaids.  If I could be one, I think I would be.  ::Turns and floats on her back.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::watches the admiral walk towards the crystal clear water and turns to West:: SFI: Well, commander, you're on shoreleave. Congratulations.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::watches him leave and looks at Senn:: CO: I thought this conversation was heading somewhere you didn't want. Sorry if I overstepped my bounds.

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Well, that's what it's all about. Oh ::watches the liquid fly through the air in slow motion.::

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: It is all right.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CNS: A mermaid? Really? I can't picture you as one, I don't know why.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: jumps up as the liquid falls on him and punches the waiter knocking him out cold :: Waiter: You P'Tak !!!!

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods:: CO: Well, since I'm on shoreleave I can spend it any way I wish, correct?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles::  CTO:  I could... very easily.  ::Suddenly dives under the waves.::

TO_Nimitz says:
CNS: And what would you do if you were one?

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods:: SFI: Yes you may. ::looks wonderingly at the wooden wharf separating the topless beach from the next one to the right::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Grabs Nimitz foot and pulls him under, then dashes away.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Twists his head hearing M'Tor yell::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: Then I choose to use it making amends. ::smiles:: How about it, Captain. Feel safe enough to spend an evening with the talented Mr West?

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: sees the waiter on the ground and exhales deeply and shakes head ::

CSO_Rya says:
::Jumps up and hesitates before going over to the waiter.::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::takes his shirt off, then his shades and puts them down on the ground on his towel.. he goes diving into the water::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sees the unconcious Waiter::

CSO_Rya says:
::Making sure M'Tor's not going to swing again.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: drops his hands to his sides ::

Host CO_Senn says:
::considers the offer for a moment:: SFI: Provided you have no intentions of saving commander West from double shifts after your shoreleave is over... Miss Senn would agree.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: feels sticky all over ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CNS: You.. ::dives and tries to catch her::

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara checks the waiter's pulse and then looks up at M'Tor:: M'Tor: Why'd you go and hit him!?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::shakes his head:: CO: No ulterior motives other than to get one of those patented Miss Senn smiles out of you. Crew scuttlebutt says their quite the site to behold. ::smiles:: Come on. I'll show you the town. ::starts off toward the wharf::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Off in the distance, she laughs, Letting go for a  moment her responsibilities and years and being once again that child of long ago.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: sighs :: CSO: I am... sorry... :: turn away ::

CSO_Rya says:
::Fishes a couple of ice cubes out of the sand and puts them on the waiter's forehead.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::starts walking with him:: SFI: Patented?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sees the CSO there so he goes back to drinking his Orange Juice::

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Well, help me get him up.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods, leading her toward the wharf:: CO: Oh yeah. It's unique they tell me.

CSO_Rya says:
::Starts tugging on the poor waiter's arm to try and bring him to a sitting position.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: helps the waiter up and mumbles an apology ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::starts splashing water at Azhure::

Host CO_Senn says:
::shakes her head:: SFI: And I am sure you aren’t in a privileged position to hear all kinds of things, of course

CSO_Rya says:
::Frowning at M'Tor.:: M

CNS_Azhure says:
::Laughs and ducks under the waters to snag a foot and pull him back under.::

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Come on. Let's bring him over there. ::Gestures to the bar.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
:;chuckles:: CO: That I am. Most of it is mundane, but some of it is interesting. Like the rumor about Lieutenant Nimitz's fabled swimsuit collection. The word is he has a thong from every corner of the Federation and a few restricted ones from QuonoS.

Host CO_Senn says:
::opens her eyes wide:: SFI: You have to be kidding... ::remembers the teddy bear and considers the statement more seriously::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the strong swimmer making laps and wonders if he's human::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: carries the waiter over to the bar ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods:: CO: Yeah.. and Lieutenant M'Tor... did you notice his ridges are bigger now? I heard it's cosmetic surgery. He had some weapons grade steel put in there to impress mates.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Grins as he comes up spluttering.::  CTO:  Race you out to the coral reefs.

CSO_Rya says:
::Wonders if she should let M'Tor explain things to the manager or if she should try to.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::his butt hit the bottom:: CNS: Ouch, that hurted.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Goes and helps the CSO and M'Tor::

Host CO_Senn says:
::laughs, not wanting to know if what he tells her is real or if he just wants to be humorous... she finds it funny anyway.:: SFI: Miss Senn would like an icecream to digest these pieces of news... ::points at a cart just by the start of the wharf::

CNS_Azhure says:
CTO:  Sorry...::Then not giving him much of a chance to say anything, she takes off with strong strokes.::

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: looks up to the manager :: Manager: The waiter slipped on some sand

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara glares at M'Tor.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles:: CO: Of course. I'll be right back. When I get back, I'll tell you about the baby pictures  I dug up over the network of Alara. She was cute as button. You'd never guess where her birthmark is... ::sets off toward the cart::

CSO_Rya says:
<w>M'Tor: Slipped?!?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at M'Tor::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::a few strokes and he's by her side:: CNS: You'll lose this one.

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
Manager: And spilled some drink on me... So I hit him...

CNS_Azhure says:
CTO:  Is there really a loose here?  ::Reaches for a longer stroke, and kicks strongly.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::waits until West is at a safe distance, considering the birthmark statement and mutters as loud as she dares without yelling:: Aloud: Men!

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::overhears her and smiles without looking back. orders two icecreams, chocolate and vanilla, not sure which she likes::

CSO_Rya says:
::Shakes her head.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::out loud:: West: Milk caramel!

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
Manager: Have you staff be less clumsy... I shall stop hitting them.. Agreed ?

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles, happy to  know that her files don't tell absolutely *everything*::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::hands back the chocolate and orders milk caramel instead before bringing them back:: CO: Here you are, Captain. ::offers the wrong icecream::

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara doesn't know whether to laugh or be furious at M'Tor.::

CSO_Rya says:
::Is it safe to pinch a Klingon to get them to shut up?::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::about to lose the race, he grabs her ankle and pulls her back:: CNS: See you at the reef! ::smiles::

Host CO_Senn says:
::stares at the icecream, then at him, and grins:: SFI: May I have the other one, please?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Splutters in laughter and dives under the waters.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::thinks about it:: CO: I dunno... I'm still waiting on that smile...

OPS_Taylor says:
M'Tor: Come again Lt?

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles a fake smile:: SFI: There you go, may I have my ice-cream now?

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: I know we're on vacation, but I think you may need to schedule some time with Counselor Azhure.

CSO_Rya says:
::Steps in between the Klingon and the Manager.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::shakes his head again:: CO: Come on, Captain. I can spot a fake smile. One genuine smile, even a small one. I promise I won't ask for another.

Host CO_Senn says:
::can't help but to start laughing:: SFI: Pretty please?

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
:: sees OPS Taylor arrive :: OPS: Forgive me Sir... I did not see you... I was just explaining to the manager that his staff left something to be desired.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::hands her the icecream:: CO: All right. But I reserve the right to that smile. ::looks at her semi seriously::

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Cease threatening anyone.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::gets to the reef first:: Hehehe ::looks back but can't find her anywhere:: Where did she go?

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods, still laughing:: SFI: All right, I give in... ::takes her ice-cream:: Now... where to?

Ltjg_M`Tor says:
CSO: Counselor Azhure... why would I desire such an interview Commander ?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Swims over the reef and comes up behind him, tagging him.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks out over the water:: CO: Sun's setting. How about we get a front row seat?

CSO_Rya says:
M'Tor: Because you need to learn anger management.

Host Adm_Edwards says:
ACTION: Someone on the beach throws a Frisbee which happens to hit West in the head, knocking him out cold.

OPS_Taylor says:
M'Tor: Ah, we are on leave so just leave it at that?  Alright?  Commander Rya?
