CEO_Jax says:
::seated in chair along one wall, watching the others::
Sharpe says:
::the top of his head just missing the door jam::
CMO_Bishop says:
::jumps slightly, then grins at the EO warmly:: EO: Jay, hello! Everything back to normal with you?
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  ::grins::  I guess I'll cut you a break.
TO_Marr says:
::notices the CTO sit down alone, quietly picks up his tray, and sits across from her at the table::
EO_Davidson says:
CMO:Sorry about the scare...yeah...still doing the physical that I was told. Trying to get my runs back into shape...slow but surely even though two weeks have passed
Host CO_Cutter says:
All:   ::loudly::   Crew!  Form up at attention.
Host XO_Skye says:
CO: Thank you.....
Sharpe says:
::about to report in but stands immediately to attention::
CMO_Bishop says:
::her head looks up as she rises to attention::
CNS_Cutter says:
::pushes herself off the wall and goes to do that attention thingy::
CSO_Lys says:
::raises an eyebrow as he stands and offers Coreena a hand::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Continues sitting, thankfully::
CTO_Kordus says:
::barely has time to notice her new companion before the orders are barked - mechanically stands to attention::
TO_Marr says:
::sets his utensils down and slowly rises to attention::
CEO_Jax says:
::stands and walks briskly into formation, standing at crisp attention::
EO_Davidson says:
::nearly falls back in his chair...but goes right to attention::
Host CO_Cutter says:
All:  LCDR Keely Cutter, front and center
Host Adm_Klord says:
::enters the mess and stands at the back hoping his red formal uniform wont stand out too badly::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Takes the hand wondering what they were to form.::
CNS_Cutter says:
::wonders what the heck is going on but goes with it::
CNS_Cutter says:
::does the front and center thing::
CMO_Bishop says:
EO: Glad to see it, I was worried about you the most... you took it a little harder than Mr. Marr.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Even from her seated perspective, notices the Admiral in the back of the room.::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  I am especially proud to recognize your superb performance as ship's counselor with this promotion to full CDR, effective immediately.
CMO_Bishop says:
::eyes Admiral Klord and furrows her brow at his odd way::
EO_Davidson says:
::whispers::CMO: Thank you.
CEO_Jax says:
::applauds enthusiastically::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  ::pins on the pips and whispers::  Way to go, love!
CSO_Lys says:
::applauds politely::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::applauds loudly along with the rest of the crew::
CNS_Cutter says:
::completely shocked:: <w>  CO: You sure you got the right person?
Host Adm_Klord (Applause.wav)
CMO_Bishop says:
::grins and claps for the CNS::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Claps along with the rest.::
TO_Marr says:
::nods in congratulations::
EO_Davidson says:
::claps for Commander Cutter::
Sharpe says:
::applauds::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::looks at the list::  CNS:  Says CNS, brat, blond hair, big mouth.....  sounds like you.
CNS_Cutter says:
::makes a face:: CO: I still maintain you aren't as funny as you think you are...but thank you
CSO_Lys says:
::hears the banter between the two and wonders if that is how he and Coreena will act towards each other in the future::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::chuckles and shakes his head at the CO and quietly slips out the door heading for the CO's quarters::
Host CO_Cutter says:
All:  That's it.  We have the barium sweep coming up and some work on the ship.  As soon as I find out what our orders are, I'll let you know.   Dismissed.
Sharpe says:
::Walks up to the CO:: CO: Sir, Patrick Sharpe report as ordered.
CSO_Lys says:
::sits back down in his previous seat::
TO_Marr says:
::sits back down with his platter of potatoes and gravy::
CMO_Bishop says:
::takes her padd and turns it off before anyone sees what she's working on::
Host CO_Cutter says:
All:  One last thing... if you aren't working on the sweep, you have the run of the station.
Host XO_Skye says:
CO: Like I'm running anywhere.
EO_Davidson says:
Self: That rules me out ::said out loud::
Host CO_Cutter says:
Sharpe:  Welcome aboard Mr. Sharpe.  What exactly do you do?
CNS_Cutter says:
CO: Awfully generous tonight, huh, dear?
CTO_Kordus says:
::nods to Marr as she gathers her things::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  Tonight?  ::grins::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Sitting back down with him.::  CSO: I am not comfortable leaving the kids on the station without me nearby.  For that matter, I am not comfortable with being on the station.
CMO_Bishop says:
::smells food and looks around, seeing the TO stuffing his face, winces slightly and heads to another part of the room::
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  I need to see what Klord wants...  I'd like you to supervise the sweep.
Sharpe says:
CO: My Complete orders have yet to arrive....I was just told to report to you sir.
TO_Marr says:
::nods at the CTO:: CTO: What are your plans for your downtime, Sir?
CNS_Cutter says:
::laughs and shakes her head:: CO: Predictable aren't you?
Sharpe says:
::towers above most of the people in the room::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  No way!
Host XO_Skye says:
CO: Gee....don't do me any favors. ::Chuckles, offering her hands for him to help her up.:: CO: Only if you help me up.
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Well Lieutenant, I believe we have a job to do.  ::smiles::
CSO_Lys says:
OPS: It won't be for long, and the ship isn't very far away.  Anyways, the kids will have a good time with my parents.
CTO_Kordus says:
::an incredibly brief look of panic crosses her face as she realizes that there
CNS_Cutter says:
::laughs again and drops a kiss on his cheek::
CTO_Kordus says:
s no structured work for her to do now that they can't go on the ship::
EO_Davidson says:
CMO: Glad to be back though that's for sure. I have a job to do here Doctor...talk to you later?
Host CO_Cutter says:
Sharpe:  Very well.  I'm sure they'll be in soon.  In the meantime, mingle, meet the rest of the crew.  We have a little downtime right now.
Host Adm_Klord says:
*CO* Captain, I will be waiting for you in your quarters... I suggest you leave you lovely wife and meet with me alone.
CTO_Kordus says:
::but she quickly regains composure:: TO: Probably more simulations to send to SFC...
CMO_Bishop says:
::nods:: EO: Okay, see you then
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Yes Commander it seems that we do...Shall we? ::motions towards the Door::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::reaches down to help up the XO::  XO:  I'm too old to be lifting weights!
CEO_Jax says:
::heads out the door and on the way to the stations engineering room::
CNS_Cutter says:
::punches Jason in the shoulder, can't believe he said that!:: CO: Jason!
OPS_Coreena says:
CSO:  It is not your parents I am worried about.  It is the children's grandparents.
CMO_Bishop says:
:;heads out of the mess and into the hallway::
TO_Marr says:
::nods:: CTO: Would you appreciate any assistance with that, sir?
CTO_Kordus says:
TO: Our recent experiences on Hais have given ample material for new fun and games...
Host CO_Cutter says:
::raises his eyebrows::  *ADM*  On my way
EO_Davidson says:
::follows the CEO::CEO: So Commander...like how I have kept her in ship shape?
Sharpe says:
CO: uh Sir? where would you like me?
Host XO_Skye says:
::Tweaks his arm after he pulls her up.::  CO: Sometimes you're a snot.  CEO/EO/OPS: Let's to the ship....::Motions toward the ships docking clamp::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  Hey!  ::glares at the CNS::  Sam knows I was kidding.
CSO_Lys says:
::hadn't thought of that::  OPS: I don't think they would do anything shady, so I wouldn't worry about it.  ::hears the XO::  Looks like you are wanted.  I'll go check on them in a few minutes.
CNS_Cutter says:
::sighs:: CO: Thrown over for an Admiral.  SO not feeling loved.
CNS_Cutter says:
CO: So? ::shrugs:: Still shouldn't have said it, meanie.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  Trust me... not my choice.
OPS_Coreena says:
::nods to the XO::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I guess the Commander wants to check the ship out first...understandable
CNS_Cutter says:
::winks and smiles:: CO: I know.  Go have fun with the boss man, dear.
OPS_Coreena says:
CSO:  How is their grandparents coming going to dim the light?
Sharpe says:
<Edit Last>
CTO_Kordus says:
TO: It's still in the developmental stages, so unless you know anything about holo-coding, I don't think I can put you to work... ::thinks for a second:: but there is something I could use your help on
CEO_Jax says:
EO: It would appear that you have done an adequate job running the department during the changeover.  I am quite satisfied with your work.
CMO_Bishop says:
::pauses, unsure of which way to go since Dalton is attending preschool this morning::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::moves out of the mess and heads for his quarters::
CMO_Bishop says:
::begins to head for the main promenade::
Sharpe says:
::turns around looking for any friendly faces::
TO_Marr says:
::sets his utensils down again:: CTO: Sir, of course, sir. What do you need?
CNS_Cutter says:
::turns around and surveys the rest of the room:: Self: Okay... now what?
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO/EO/OPS: I mean....um....to the observation room.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::walks into his quarters::  Adm :  Well Admiral, what brings you out our way?
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Commander shouldn't we make our way to the station? They need to start the sweep
CSO_Lys says:
::figures he should go track his family down, stands and walks out of the mess::
CMO_Bishop says:
::passes by a clothing boutique and stops to have a look::
CEO_Jax says:
XO: Of course Commander, I believe it is this way.  ::indicates to their left::
EO_Davidson says:
::laughs a little::XO: Aye Commander.
Sharpe says:
::looks around tugging idlely on the moustache that has grown in since his last stay on the Hayden::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Of course.

EO_Davidson says:
CEO: How long you figure the sweep is going to take?
Host Adm_Klord says:
::looks at Cutter and thwaps a handful of paper from one hand to another:: Captain, I sure isn't by choice....
Host XO_Skye says:
::Follows after the CEO::
CSO_Lys says:
::smiles at Coreena as they both start heading in different directions::  OPS: Just a figure of speech... 
Host Adm_Klord says:
<it>
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Generally baryon sweeps take several hours to complete.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::frowns a little at the tone::  ADM:  What seems to be the problem?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Slowly nods her head::  CSO:  What does it mean outside of a figure?
Sharpe says:
::Looks around the mess hall::
CMO_Bishop says:
:;wanders into the clothing shop and looks at all the nice clothes, admires a particularly slimming tunic top and pantsuit::
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: I have a dozen reports in my hand about the Hayden... Most of them are minor. However there is one that simply cannot be ignored.
CNS_Cutter says:
::hands into the back of the room and takes a seat::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: You didn't answer my earlier question...you like the Hayden so far sir?
FCO_Knight says:
::Lazily loafs into the lounger in his room and dozes away as Ganymede does the same::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::stiffens a little::  ADM:  And what would that be sir?
CSO_Lys says:
::leaves the mess shaking his head slowly back and forth reminding himself to explain that saying to Coreena later::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: It is an interesting concept, performing a baryon sweep on a ship that has an optic data network.  Normally baryon emissions obliterate any biological elements...however there must be some form of modification to avoid damaging the biological elements of the network and warp core.  I should definitely be interested in researching such a topic.
CTO_Kordus says:
TO: First of all, the amount of times you put the word "sir" into a sentence is nothing short of disturbing.  I'd like you to limit yourself to one per phrase, please ::Grins::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: I ... like it just fine Lt.  It presents a challenge, and I have not had one of quite this magnitude in quite some time.  It will be an interesting transition.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Yeah...your meaning the Bio-Neural Gel Packs?
CMO_Bishop says:
::holds up the suit to herself and goes to a mirror tilting her head this way and that, imagining what it would look like on her::
TO_Marr says:
CTO: Yes, sir.
Sharpe says:
::after hearing a loud grumble from his stomach, goes to the replicator to order his lunch::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Indeed, as well as the bio-chemical elements of the warp core gel.
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: I'm speaking of a report I have of a bridge officer disobeying orders, going AWOL, stealing a shuttle, perhaps breaking the prime directive, again against direct orders from SF command. After all of that he gets a PROMOTION!
OPS_Coreena says:
::Following along.::  XO:  What exactly would you like me to do?
CSO_Lys says:
::walking down the hallway he find a lift to the marketplace::
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: How in the seven Hades do you expect me to be able to explain that to SF?
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Probably just follow along and let the Engineers watch to make sure everything is going fine.  My opinion is that you and I are just here to look pretty.
CTO_Kordus says:
TO: Second of all, there's a new holo-sim on this chip ::hands him one out of her pocket:: that I need you to be the preliminary test victim on.  ::grins again:: Game?
Host CO_Cutter says:
ADM:  Well, that's one way of looking at it.  Let's not forget he saved many lives and was ultimately proven correct.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Pretty?
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: It means we look good.  Are pleasant to look at....
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Understandable Commander...If you need help with anything let me know. Ahhh...here we are.
CSO_Lys says:
::feels a bit worried.  He hasn't spent much time with his family since he left for the Academy.  Had he changed too much since then?::
TO_Marr says:
::glances at the item in her hand, knowing he can beat a chip any day...:: CTO: Whenever you're ready, sir. ::grins::
CMO_Bishop says:
::sighs, knowing that if she were to buy it, it would be well over a year before she would fit into it again::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Shakes head::  XO:  How does looking... pretty, help matters?  ::Looks at the XO and then considers herself::  I did not know we were pretty.
CMO_Bishop says:
::places it carefully back on the rack and wander out of the store::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Indeed?  I believe Lt. Daniels was a little, unnerved, to find I would be asking him questions about such things.  It is good to know that you are willing to assist in my transition.
FCO_Knight says:
::Ganymede wakes up from Othello's snores and moves over to him. He licks his face, waking him::
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: Jason, I know the ultimate results... and I know you are familiar enough with SF burocrasy to know that results tend to be ignored.... disobeying orders and stealing SF property isn't! Damit man... then to promote him afterwards was just a slap in the face.
EO_Davidson says:
::turns around::XO\OPS: Sure you two are the most beautiful Women on the ship.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Who was Lt.Daniels
CSO_Lys says:
::arrives on the promenade level and starts to make his way through the crown.  His parents said they would be at one of the cafes::
TO_Marr says:
::watches the CTO run out the door and looks around, wondering what he'll do now::
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Looking pretty doesn't really help anything with the sweep.  We just help the environment to look pleasant.
CEO_Jax says:
EO: He is the head of gamma shift in Engineering...we were going over reports today.
Host XO_Skye says:
EO: Flattery will get you no where.
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Can't blame a guy for trying.
Host CO_Cutter says:
Adm:  ::starting to get angry::  Promotions are at the discretion of the commanding officer.  In my opinion, he deserved it.  Desk jockeys be damned.
CMO_Bishop says:
::heads to a nearby cafe, the smell of food drawing her.... so to speak::
Host XO_Skye says:
EO: I sure can. ::Chuckles::
FCO_Knight says:
Ganymede: Bloody dog! PTOO! Fine, mate. You sleep I'll go an' do somethin' else. Maybe catch a flick o' somethin' on th' promenade.:
CSO_Lys says:
<Miretta>  ::sneaks up behind her brother who seems to really be lost in thought::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks from the EO to the XO and decides to let this go for later.  Perhaps Talan would have better luck explaining what pretty had to do with ones environment.::
Host XO_Skye says:
::As they arrive, looks around for a seat.::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: That's right...Sorry...I should have known that one. And of course the shift heads report to me which is what Daniels should have done. and then me to you.
CEO_Jax says:
XO: Actually Commander, protocol stipulates that a senior command officer is present as there is no one in official command of the ship during the sweep.   Operations is present to assist in energy monitoring and communications, as well as emergency situations.
Sharpe says:
::takes a seat near the CNS::
CMO_Bishop says:
::orders a decaffeinated cup of tea and an apple muffin and takes a seat::
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: Jason.... we all have superiors... Desk jockeys or not.:: more quietly: we weren’t all nailed to the desk once. I have my own orders... ::Hands them to the CO:
CSO_Lys says:
<Miretta>  ::taps him on the left shoulder and slides over to his right side::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: I am aware, Commander......however, I don't anticipate anything going wrong so as to need an "official command' or too much of the energy monitoring etc.
CEO_Jax says:
EO: I have not been presented with such regimen since my time on the Thomas Paine...I should like to change that.  I do not enjoy being distanced from my Engineering staff.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Daniels has a bad habit of breaking the Chain of Command. That is why he was put on the Gamma Shift
FCO_Knight says:
::Throws a uniform undershirt on himself and walks out of the room. Ganymede slumps back onto the floor and goes to sleep::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::reads the orders, the looks up, clearly angry::  ADM:  Damnit Admiral, I won't do this.
CEO_Jax says:
XO: In my years in Starfleet, I have come to expect the unexpected Commander...as it usually becomes the expected rather quickly.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Shifts from one foot to the other.::
TO_Marr says:
::wanders the station pointlessly, confused as to what to do with his time and whom to do it with::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Do you always talk so much?
CSO_Lys says:
::feeling a tap on the shoulder, he turns to his left to find no one there.  He stares behind himself for a moment until some Tellerite gives him and odd look::
CMO_Bishop says:
::peers off into outer space, pondering her situation and how she's going to tell certain people::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Really?  I have not noticed any problems with him so far...his report was flawless, and he was quite helpful...despite the lack of desire.
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks from the CEO to XO and answers for him::  XO:  He has a lot to say.
Sharpe says:
::finishes eating, and decided to take a stroll around the Promenade deck::
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Obviously.
EO_Davidson says:
::taps a few buttons on a panel ::CEO: Well I had trouble with him and so did Commander Micheals. I think it might be because of me being put in 2nd in command of Engineering over him.
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: Damnit Jason you have no choice... you are a SF officer... If you refuse I will have no choice but to relieve you of command... Do you really think that is what is best for your crew? What is best for the Hayden?
FCO_Knight says:
::Makes his way to the promenade and sees the sights, and the women::
CEO_Jax says:
XO: I sense that is what you would call a rhetorical question...but, to give you an honest answer...yes, I do.  I tend to find interpersonal interaction quite fascinating, and enjoy conversing with others.  I have learned much over the years by simply talking to people, especially those I do not know well.
CEO_Jax says:
EO: I shall keep on eye on that then.  Thank you for your candor Lt.
CSO_Lys says:
::turning back around, he sees a smiling face in a blue Starfleet uniform standing in front of him.   He smiles at his sister and just shakes his head::  Miretta:  I should have known.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::knows the Admiral is right... trying to keep his anger under control::  ADM:  There's no way to fight this?
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Any time commander....there starting. ::points to a viewer image::
CMO_Bishop says:
::smiles as the waitress brings her food, takes a sip of tea, feeling her stomach twinge in disagreement::
CEO_Jax says:
::Watches the process, smiling at the view of a starship from the exterior, on the backdrop of stars::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Sometimes so much talking becomes tedious.  There are times you can learn just as much from being quiet, Commander.
EO_Davidson says:
XO/CEO/OPS: Wonderful ship aint she?
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks around the open promenade and picks at her muffin thoughtfully::
CSO_Lys says:
<Miretta>  ::moves to her brothers side and slips her arm through his, looking around::  CSO: So where is the wife-to-be?
Host XO_Skye says:
EO: Of course she is.
OPS_Coreena says:
::nods her head at the EO::
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: To be honest I don't like it ant better then you. I keep track of you and the Hayden Captain. You know that. We have had our disagreements in the past. In the end we both want what is best for the ship. You are it man... you are best for the Hayden. I have fought this till I'm blue in the face... Suffice it to say I and here under the same
CEO_Jax says:
XO: I sense you may be...annoyed with me...I do apologize if I have appeared over-zealous.  I have been accused of such things in the past.  
Host Adm_Klord says:
sort of orders as I am handing you
TO_Marr says:
::takes a seat on a bench in a public area and sits quietly::
EO_Davidson says:
All: She's been through allot. But the Hayden has always come out on top
Host CO_Cutter says:
::looks at the ADM for a long time, then nods::  ADM:  Very well...  I'll take care of it.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CSO*  Talan... where are you?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Shift to the other foot.::  XO:  Will you answer my question from the last mission?
CEO_Jax says:
EO: One thing I have learned Lt, is that it is the crew that sees the ship through...not the other way around.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::Nods:: I need a drink... I think in the blackest hole I can find on this station... Dismissed Captain.:: walks out::
CSO_Lys says:
::they continue down the promenade::  Miretta:  She had to work.  Some of the crew had to supervise the baryon sweep.
CSO_Lys says:
::stops:: *CO*: I'm on the promenade, sir.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Shakes her head, and pushes herself up so she can come face to face with the CEO.::  CEO: I am not irritated with you.  I am just stating that you can also learn a great deal from silence as well.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Commander I have to disagree with you on that one. Sometimes it's the crew sometimes it's the ship. or both.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CSO*  Please report to my quarters
CSO_Lys says:
::sighs:: *CO*: On my way. 
Host XO_Skye says:
::Turns quietly to Coreena:: OPS: And your question was?  Pregnancy can make me absent minded.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::moves around to sit at the desk, stares out the window::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Experience will teach you otherwise Lt.  Given a solid crew, the ship doesn't matter.  Technology is simply a means.
CSO_Lys says:
Miretta:  I don't like the sound in his voice, this is going to take a while.  Tell everyone that I'll be down when I can?
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  How come the captain could stay and disobey an order, but I could not?
CSO_Lys says:
<Miretta> CSO: Sure, just don't take too long or we might forget why we are here in the first place.  ::smiles and heads off::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I have been on the Hayden since the beginning of my Career...and trust me...::stops:: Permission to speak freely?
FCO_Knight says:
::Wanders over near the cafe and stops as his eyes catch jerlia at a table a few meters away::
CEO_Jax says:
XO: I apologize for the false assumption Commander.  Trust in me that I understand what you say...it is not, however in my nature, and I find it difficult to do.  At least amongst those I consider friend.
CNS_Cutter says:
::exits the mess and goes shopping.  If Jason isn't around who was there to limit the charges she made on his account?  Grinning to herself she walks faster towards the shops::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::heads to his quarters and changes out of his dress reds and into traditional Klingon dress complete with cuirass and heads out to find a dark bar.::
CSO_Lys says:
::shakes his head and smiles as he starts to make his way back::
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Well, that isn't just what I call an easy question.
CMO_Bishop says:
::stirs her tea and finishes her muffin... much to her stomach's disapproval::
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Why?
FCO_Knight says:
::Quietly walks over to her table::
TO_Marr says:
::sits quietly, watching the station's inhabitants as they walk by::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO/XO/OPS:24 hours till the sweep is complete
CMO_Bishop says:
::stares into her mug, deep in thought... wondering where Othello is and if she should try and see if he could meet her here::
CSO_Lys says:
::rides the lift back to the crew quarters::
EO_Davidson says:
::turns around and looks right at Commander Jax::
Sharpe says:
::walks out of a shop selling sports apparel and nearly knocks the CNS to the ground::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Eases herself into a chair.:: OPS: Well.....
CEO_Jax says:
EO: There is no need to ask permission Lt.  My officers may speak candidly at all times.  They are responsible enough to accept the actions their words may set forth.  Though I would remind you that your entire career, fits into one tour of duty in mine.
Sharpe says:
CNS: I’m sorry!!
CNS_Cutter says:
Oomph! ::wonders what wall she walked into::
CSO_Lys says:
::arrives at the CO's quarters and signals::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::calls out::  Enter
CNS_Cutter says:
::shakes it off and then smiles:: Sharpe: No worries - no harm, no foul.
CSO_Lys says:
::walks into the room::  CO: Sir, you wanted to see me?
FCO_Knight says:
CMO: May I sit?
CNS_Cutter says:
::looks closer:: Sharpe: Sharpe isn't it?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::still staring out the window::  CSO:  Have a seat Talan
OPS_Coreena says:
::Listens intensely::
CSO_Lys says:
::raises an eyebrow and sits down, this is going to take a while::
Sharpe says:
CNS: yes ma'am
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I know the Hayden better then you do sir. I know what she can and can't do. It's both Man and Machine being on...not just one of them. It's both. ::turns around back to his panel::
CMO_Bishop says:
::jumps and looks up into Othello's face:: FCO: Othello!...::smiles and motions to the opposite chair::.... yes please, have a seat
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: I guess the best thing I can tell you is that I am responsible for my actions and my actions only.  I cannot account for the Captain's actions and whether or not he disobeys an order, but I have control over my actions, and must take responsibility for them.
Sharpe says:
CNS:: Sorry about that, I wasn’t paying attention.
CNS_Cutter says:
::shudders:: Sharpe: Oh please don't do that.  Don't Ma'am me.  It makes me feel old!
Host CO_Cutter says:
::sighs and turns to face the CSO::  CSO:  Talan, do you remember when you had your little "incident" I told you that there might be repercussions?
CSO_Lys says:
CO: Yes, I was always prepared for those.
FCO_Knight says:
::Smiles on the inside at the bit of surprise he gave her. Wants to shake that constant devil on his shoulder's hand::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks at the first officer with confusion on her face.::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: Very well Lt.  You are of course entitled to your opinion.  Should the chance arise I shall re-ask the question in 20 years time, and we shall see what you think then.
Sharpe says:
CNS: ::suddenly remember her name:: Sorry ::smiles::
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Coreena, you accept responsibility for actions, Correct?
OPS_Coreena says:
::nods her head::
CMO_Bishop says:
FCO:  I was just wondering where you were. You missed the meeting in the mess hall
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Well, I'm afraid they're here.  ::shoves the orders over to him::  The gist of it is, you are demoted to LCDR, effective immediately.
CNS_Cutter says:
::laughs:: Sharpe: I was only teasing!
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: You wont change my mind. The Hayden is the best ship in the fleet and she has the best Crew.
CNS_Cutter says:
Sharpe: So I'm guessing that since you're here that we have you back with us?
Host Adm_Klord says:
::continues walking down one corridor after another entering one of the more seedy sections of the station::
CSO_Lys says:
::glances at the orders, really not showing any sort of emotion::  CO: Understood.
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Do you believe it's your responsibility to do what's right?
Sharpe says:
::chuckles:: CNS: Where is Ashlynn? I didn’t see her in the Mess....Yes, thought I’m not sure in what capacity...I received order to report to Captain Cutter yet no reason was given why.
FCO_Knight says:
::Sits down:: CMO: Enjoyin' that ol' cup o' tea, eh? A British tradition lost in the evolvin' o' Aussie mannerisms
OPS_Coreena says:
::nods her head::
CEO_Jax says:
EO: A statement I have heard from many a Captain, on many a ship.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  ::looks at him oddly::  No reaction Talan?
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks down and smiles her mug:: FCO: Well you can't teach an old dog new tricks I always say.... I supposed I'm just trying to feel like I'm home....
FCO_Knight says:
CMO: I'll send an apology t' the Cap'n later. What happened?
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Can you take force your Captain to take certain actions?
Host Adm_Klord says:
::finds a rather nasty looking place and enters::
CSO_Lys says:
CO: I was more surprised when you promoted me, sir.  However, when it all comes down to it, I'm a scientist.  I'm not looking for my own command any time... well anytime ever.  It just doesn't mean that much to me.  Actually I am kind of relieved.
CNS_Cutter says:
::loses her smile:: Sharpe: I'm sorry.  I thought.. I guess you didn't...  ::stops and starts again:: I'm sorry.  Ashlynn isn't with us anymore.  There was an accident.  Brynn was killed.  She took her daughter into a time ribbon to go back in time to be with him.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Relieved?  Why is that?
CMO_Bishop says:
FCO: The Counselor got promoted to Commander and then he told us that we'd have to wait for our further mission orders.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  I have no power to force anyone to do anything.
Sharpe says:
CNS:: Oh....::sighs::
CSO_Lys says:
CO: Every time I was left in command, I was worried that something might happen that I wouldn't be able to handle... it was just more than I've ever wanted.
CNS_Cutter says:
Sharpe: I am so very sorry.  Especially that you had to hear it this way.  If its any consolation I believe that she found him.
CMO_Bishop says:
::sighs:: FCO: I hate it when he does that..... ::mutters into her tea as she takes a sip::.... bloody SFC secrecy rubbish...
Host CO_Cutter says:
::nods::  CSO:  Very well.  Keep in mind, if I didn't have confidence in your ability, I wouldn't leave you in command.  Anyway, that's it Talan, you're dismissed.
FCO_Knight says:
CMO: I was wonderin' when the ol' head o' nepotism would rear between the Cap'n an' the counsela.
Sharpe says:
CNS: Its ok...::chuckles, attempts to change the subject:: I see someone took my spot while I was away
CSO_Lys says:
::stands:: CO: Thank you, sir.  And really, don't let it bother you.  ::walks out and heads back towards the promenade::
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: So you can't change what he does, but you have control over what you do, Correct?
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Sometimes I do and sometimes I do not.
CNS_Cutter says:
::smiles:: Sharpe: Nah... no one ever takes the place of our family members!  You still have a place with us.  You just have a different job this time is all.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CNS* Keely, you in any condition to work?
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Sometimes you do, what, Coreena?
FCO_Knight says:
CMO: Wait for further orders... I hate that too.
CNS_Cutter says:
::hears the comm:: Sharpe: Excuse me.
Sharpe says:
CNS: ::smiles:: Mind if I join you?
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Sometimes I have control.
CNS_Cutter says:
*CO* What’s up, Jase?
CMO_Bishop says:
::straightens in her chair:: FCO: Well, I hardly think that if SFC didn't think she deserved it she wouldn't get it.....
Sharpe says:
CNS: Sure thing.
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: When do you not?  ::Not at all in a rude way, purely in a curious way.::
CNS_Cutter says:
::smiles and waves at Sharpe:: Sharpe: Good to have you back though!
EO_Davidson says:
*FCO*:Soon as I can get away...care for a game of Velocity you owe me?
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  When you, the captain or someone orders me to do something.
CEO_Jax says:
::looks down at the displays and checks readings::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CNS*  I just delivered some bad news to Talan...  SF decided to bust him.  He seemed fine, but would you talk to him?
CNS_Cutter says:
*CO*: Oh damn.  Okay.  I'll see if I can track him down.
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Commander you don't think we have to stay here a Full 24 hours do you?
CNS_Cutter says:
*CO*: Any idea where he headed off to?
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CNS*  Toward the promenade
CMO_Bishop says:
::is angered at his comment:: FCO: The counselor works very hard, harder than a lot of people on this ship, Othello. She puts up with more garbage than the entire station combined.... frankly, I'm surprised she's got her own ship by now at this rate....
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CNS*  In the meantime, I'm going to get stinking drunk, so you might want to lock the bedroom door tonight.
CNS_Cutter says:
::sighs:: *CO*: I'm on my way.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::sits a a table brooding and drinking blood wine::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Nods:: OPS: Of course.....my point is you are responsible for your actions and are held accountable if you don't.....but you can't look at someone and decide if you will follow them or not by what they did.
CNS_Cutter says:
::nods, understanding:: *CO*: Let me know where you end up so I know where to pick you up after.
CNS_Cutter says:
::heads for the promenade::
FCO_Knight says:
CMO: I'm sure she did, love. Just a joke. ::looks down his chest and taps his badge:: *EO* In a while, mate. I’m a tad busy.
Host XO_Skye says:
EO: Unfortunately, yes, we do unless someone relieves us, and since I'm the only one that can be relieved, you're stuck.
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Then I should not have gone back when ordered?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::heads toward the sleaziest part of the station, just hoping someone gives him an excuse to get in trouble::
EO_Davidson says:
*FCO*Let me know. Wait...looks like I am pulling a 24 hour shift...going to have to reschedule
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: You were ordered to.....You should have returned.  That was the right thing to do.
Sharpe says:
CNS: I'll talk to you later, ::moves off to walk the promenade again::
Host Adm_Klord says:
:: orders another round::
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  Then I was not responsible for my actions.
CNS_Cutter says:
Sharpe: Count on it. ::already in work mode again::
TO_Marr says:
::stands and begins wandering aimlessly::
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks at him and sighs, feeling a surge of what can only be hormones increase her annoyance:: FCO: Well fine, but do make sure you chose your jokes a little more carefully. These are your commanding officers. I would think you'd show them a little more respect...... ::gets up from the table::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::walks into the bar...  spots Klord sitting at the table::
CNS_Cutter says:
::keeps an eye out for Talan::
FCO_Knight says:
*EO* Name the place an' time and I'll beat ya like a Borg! ::Sits a bit uneasy after that blast from Jerlia::
Host XO_Skye says:
::Doesn't quite follow Coreena's reasoning.:: OPS: Coreena, you are responsible for your actions even if it is part of following an order.
CSO_Lys says:
::arriving back on the promenade, sees his family still at the cafe and heads over to join them::
EO_Davidson says:
*FCO*:Not a chance mate...not a chance...Davidson out.
CMO_Bishop says:
::slaps her napkin down on the table and storms off::
OPS_Coreena says:
XO:  By following the captain’s orders when I did not want to, I was not responsible for my actions.  My actions would have been to go help Talan.
FCO_Knight says:
CMO: Jerlia, I'm sorry. that's what I do. You oughtta know that by now. C'mon. Sit down, love.
CNS_Cutter says:
::sees Talan and heads over:: CSO: Hello Talan.  Can I talk to you for a minute?
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: what brings you into a place like this captain?... I thought you had.... better taste.
Host XO_Skye says:
OPS: Coreena, you are always responsible for your actions, no matter if they were orders or not.  Does that make sense to you?
CMO_Bishop says:
::calls back over her shoulder:: FCO: I'm sorry Othello, I'm not really in the mood for company right now....
CSO_Lys says:
::again stopped before he makes it to see his parents, maybe it is fate:: CNS: Sure Commander, what can I do for you?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::walks over the bar, orders an ale, takes a swig, then walks over to K'lord's table::  Adm :  You did....  you and your damned orders.  It's done.
CNS_Cutter says:
CSO: Actually I was wondering if there was anything I could help you with?  You doing okay?
FCO_Knight says:
::Frowns a bit:: Self: Now what was that s'poosed t' mean?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Shakes her head in the negative::  XO:  I am sorry.  If I act as I want, then I have made a decision that I am responsible for.  How can I be responsible for doing as another told me?
Host Adm_Klord says:
Action: a couple of swarmy looking types over hear the Captain and the Admiral and begin making side remarks about SF
CSO_Lys says:
CNS: I'm okay.  A little swamped with the wedding and family and all, but that will all be over soon.
CEO_Jax says:
XO: Commander...may I?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::takes another drink and looks sideways over at the commenters::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::Nods:: Have a seat... I was just beginning ::pushes another mug Jason's way::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: If you'd like.....
EO_Davidson says:
::goes over to a small replicator::Computer: rocktijino ::waits and takes a sip::Self: first of which I am sure is to be many
CNS_Cutter says:
::nods:: CSO: I remember some of that..  And how about your conversation with the Captain?
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks at the CEO::
CEO_Jax says:
OPS: You took an oath when you entered Starfleet, did you not?
Host XO_Skye says:
::Stands and stretches her back, wishing she were anywhere but there are the moment.::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::Eyes the CO with one brow raised and a bit of a grin/snarl on his face::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Shakes her head::  CEO:  No.
CNS_Cutter says:
::looks at him expectantly::
CSO_Lys says:
::smiles:: CNS: Put on the scent, were you?  Really Commander, it doesn't bother me much.  I figured that day that I wouldn't even be wearing this uniform much longer.
CEO_Jax says:
OPS: Surely you must have taken an oath to become an officer...
Host CO_Cutter says:
::looks down at the mug, drains it, then turns and crashes it over one of the swarmies head::
FCO_Knight says:
::Sighs and tries to find the holo-theatre::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Shakes her head::  CEO:  No.
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Points at her collar.  She's not an Ensign yet, Commander.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::grabs a chair and smashes it over another::
CEO_Jax says:
XO: Even cadets have an oath...has she not sworn to that?
CMO_Bishop says:
::wipes her eyes and sniffles as she enters her quarters and goes to her bed to lie down::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::lets out a howl of joy when the rest of the bar gets up to help their pals and wades in beside Cutter::
OPS_Coreena says:
::Looks at the XO::
Host XO_Skye says:
CEO: Coreena is a different situation.....She's never actually been a Cadet either.
CNS_Cutter says:
CSO: Gee Talan.. if you weren't such a nice guy I would say that you just called me a dog! ::mock offended before she smiles::  I was just checking in, Talan.  And you say that.. but are you sure you feel that way?  You okay with it?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::laughs as he starts swinging, then takes the first punch and remembers this crap hurts::
OPS_Coreena says:
CEO:  I am not old enough to be a cadet.
EO_Davidson says:
XO:Commander ...ummm...we have a problem.
CSO_Lys says:
::smiles:: CNS: I'm fine.  If you need someone to worry about, I would check on your husband.  I think he was more upset giving me the news.
TO_Marr says:
::wanders endlessly, another day passing away without meaning::
CEO_Jax says:
XO: Then I do believe she has you between a rock and ...another rock?  I don't think that's right, but anyway, if she has not taken an oath to serve and follow orders, she is indeed then not responsible for doing so.
Host XO_Skye says:
::Whirls around and almost looses her balance.:: EO: What?
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Never mind...corrected....sorry.
FCO_Knight says:
::As he searches, he walks past many of his fellow crewmembers. He figures that he shouldn't interrupt any of them. He felt he wasn't popular with many of them as he would've liked. Not everyone got him, apparently not Jerlia either, it seemed.::
EO_Davidson says:
XO: My mistake.
CMO_Bishop says:
::feels a surge of emotion overwhelm her and cries herself to sleep::
CNS_Cutter says:
CSO:  I know... I sort of have an appointment with him later.  If you are sure you're okay?
CNS_Cutter says:
CSO: I won't hold you up any longer...
Host Adm_Klord says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>
