CSO: yes Ma'am...
Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Stops as Capt. Knight questions the LT.::
CTO_Naug says:
::looks back:: Thorne, i mean Captain please join us  :: walking by hydroponics and heading toward the shuttle bay::
SO_Jace says:
CSO: I came to the conclusion that the only way to increase the Science departments responsiveness was to constantly assign them tasks to do in practical and theoretical situations
Captain_Hengst says:
UPS_CO: And spoil the luxuries of command? ::Smiles faintly::
Capt_Knight says:
::Smiles:: CTO: You're slipping Toir......I've been here a long time

OPS_Anderson says:
::folds his arms and leans against the wall::
Ens_Harris says:
::this is a lovely ship never seen any thing like it ::
Host XO_West says:

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Turns to Capt. Hengst:: Capt H. : Yes it has been secured
Host UPS_CO says:
XO:  How is that?  ::Curious and makes notes::
Host XO_West says:
