Summary
	With a long mission ahead of them in space, the crew takes what time they have to load up on the simple things of life while the ship is supplied after dropping off Admiral Harlan.  It is amazing how quickly the ladies can shop, including buying one black slinky dress for the FCO, while the men indulge in drinks.  Meanwhile the captain is filled in about their mission.

Announcements
•	Welcome back everyone… great to see folks.  Chris and Kurt, you were missed.
•	Congrats to the captain for his award.  There are other awards too which I will let you know about on Saturday.
•	Try to read up on the Xindi as well as the ending of this transcript where the Admiral and captain talk about what to expect.

Time Lapse:
	Correct me if I am wrong, but I think we said a couple of days with us arriving just outside of Xindi space.

First Officer's Log, Stardate 10701.13 - I had not expected this moment to come this soon. The Xindi have already called in the favor Starfleet owed them for their assistance in the mission against the Synod. We just docked with Starbase 78 and await the loading of the requested supplies.

CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
::at the Nighthawk bridge supervising the upload the updated science equipment::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sits in the central chair of the Nighthawk's bridge, overseeing the ship's status change from space-borne to docked::
FCO Lt Knight says:
:: Enters the bridge upon returning from the shuttlebay:: XO:  Commander, the Chameleon is fully checked.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Supervises the loading of medical supplies::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Arrives on the bridge and walks toward the center.::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
:: Looks up from her console:: XO: The science department supplies are all ready to be loaded
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks at the FCO entering:: FCO: Good.. Did the starbase get back about our requested supplies for the small ship? Everything is available?
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Good.. Good, any word on the other supplies? Did they fulfill our full request?
FCO Lt Knight says:
XO:  Affirmative Commander.  Everything we'll need is available.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO: Was it ever mentioned that engineering was not my forté?  There are some strange requests that were given to me.  However, there seems to be no problem... so far.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
XO: Yes, medical is already underway in loading and engineering...well, Lt Rose can better tell you about those, as I see she is
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: FCO: Excellent.. As the captain said, be prepared for anything.. :: Turns to the SO and nods:: SO: Well.. That's good.. I'm sure there's some sense in the items requested..
SO Lt Rose says:
XO: I would swear some of the items would make a nice still.
FCO Lt Knight says:
XO:  Sir, everything here is going routinely.....permission to head to the station to pick up some personal supplies?
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Chuckles:: SO: If you say so.. :: Turns to the CSO again:: CSO: What about the requests from Ops? Our fuel supply, fresh food, things like that..
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Makes sure everything is stowed in the right compartments::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
XO: Lt Yel went down to the station to personally supervise the operations supplies. There aren't many but they are critical. She should finish her review in the next few minutes and then we can start loading those as well
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CSO: Excellent... ::Taps his console and turns down to look at it for a moment:: CSO: Now we just need to find space for everything..
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods at the FCO:: FCO: Oh, sorry.. Yes.. I was a bit distracted... We still need to find space for these things.. But sure, you're free to go.. But don't miss the flight! :: Smiles::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
XO: As for the science department, I have plans to stow everything in the labs. The rest ...we'll find place. If no where else, quarters
SO Lt Rose says:
*CMO*: You know, you can unload things later.  Did you want to hit the station for anything personal before we head out?  Lieutenant Knight is working on that.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO: If he is late, do I get to fly the ship?  :: Smiles sweetly at Aaron::
FCO Lt Knight says:
XO:  Miss the flight?  Let's just say, we won't be heading anywhere until I return.  ::grins and gets up from his station::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Shakes head vigorously:: SO: I think we'll wait for him... Not company policy, but hey... ::Winks at the FCO::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
XO: Commander, if you don't mind I would like to catch a ride with Knight and Rose. I also need some personal supplies
FCO Lt Knight says:
SO:  Don't even THINK about it Rose!  ::smiles::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Eyes the FCO::  XO: I don't know... I think I could beat him in a race any day... only battle can he claim one up.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
*SO*: Well I can't think of anything I need at the moment Brianna, but it might do me good to get out of sickbay for a while... Care to join me?
FCO Lt Knight says:
SO:  Bah, you'd only win because I'd let you.  :: Looks over at Jackson and grins::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CSO: Sure, sure... Just be back quickly, I would hate to have to be on my own finding space in places it usually doesn't exist...
SO Lt Rose says:
FCO: In your dreams...
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
XO: We are going into alien space and some things can not be replicated. My personal suggestion is that you find some time to re-supply yourself ::gets up::
SO Lt Rose says:
*CMO*: We are heading out now, before Commander Jackson changes his mind.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: On those words, heads for the lift doors.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
:: Waits for the CSO and SO by the TL:: CSO/SO:  You two coming?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
:: Joins the FCO and SO::FCO/SO: And if you both fail to return, maybe I can give it a shot ::smiles::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
*SO*: I'll be right there. Trigger out. ::Heads out of sickbay::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods at the CSO:: CSO: Thanks, but I'm fine..
FCO Lt Knight says:
:: Laughs:: CSO:  I'd put my money on you over Rose any time!
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
:: Shakes her head and winks at the XO before the TL doors close::
SO Lt Rose says:
FCO: You realize those are fighting words?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
:: Laughs:: SO/FCO: I see we have to find a way to settle this some day
FCO Lt Knight says:
:: Puts his hand out horizontally in front of him::  SO:  See that, I'm shaking in fear!
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Arrives in the docking bay::
FCO Lt Knight says:
CSO:  There's nothing to settle.  There are times I am a gentleman and I'd have to let her win.  ::Smiles::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Shakes head as he is the only one left on the bridge. He pulls up the inventory list and checks the already loaded goods against their storage location::
SO Lt Rose says:
FCO: Eight brothers bigger then you might change your mind... however, I don't need them.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
FCO: Fascinating, and here I thought gentlemen were extinct
FCO Lt Knight says:
SO:  You sure about that Brianna?  ::listens to the hum of the TL::
SO Lt Rose says:
FCO: I think you need to have a long talk with Varesh.  ::Steps off the lift as it comes to a stop::
FCO Lt Knight says:
:: Chuckles::  CSO:  No, we just lay dormant at times.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
FCO: I shall remember that!
TO Dram says:
XO: I am picking up an unusual energy reading heading in from Federation space.
FCO Lt Knight says:
CSO:  But, if you ever see me being a gentleman, please do not let others know.....I have a reputation to maintain!
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Leans against a bulkhead waiting for the rest to arrive::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks up from his console and towards the tactical console. He hadn't realized the TO was still there:: TO: Do you have a bearing and position?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
FCO: Ah ha, bargaining material. Shall remember that too
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Just loud enough for him to hear:: What reputation?  :: Smiles at the doctor:: CMO: Hey doc.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
:: Exits the lift after Rose::
FCO Lt Knight says:
:: Approaches the Doctor::  CMO:  What's up Doc?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
CMO: Hello Dr
 TO Dram says:
XO: They are coming in slowly... heading toward the base... or more to the side of it.  Checking database for a match.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
All: Hey guys ::smiles to Brianna:: Where are we off to?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
TO: On screen... ::Looks at the large viewscreen, waiting for the image to be put on there::
SO Lt Rose says:
CMO: Last minute shopping... very last minute.
FCO Lt Knight says:
CMO:  I'm assuming we're all off to pick up some personal supplies.  It's been said that we're not sure how long we'll be on this mission.
 
ACTION: On the screen, a shimmer of stars appear and nothing more.

CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
FCO/SO/CMO: Shopping shopping shopping indeed :: Smiles:: All: I have no idea if the Xindi have sales
 TO Dram says:
    XO: Still reading the energy, but I do not see anything there.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Nods with a smile and follows the group::
SO Lt Rose says:
CSO: I am sure they have something... but, Xindi space has loooooooots of worlds in it.  There is no telling which ones yet we will be visiting.
  XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods and looks at the viewscreen:: TO: Not to worry, I bet this will be our transport to our new assignment...
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
SO: If any. Our mission might be stuck in space. who knows
FCO Lt Knight says:
All:  Okay, so where to first?
 TO Dram says:
XO: Uhhh... do we just ignore them?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
FCO: I'd say somewhere for a stiff drink but technically we're still on duty.
SO Lt Rose says:
CSO: We could take the gentlemen to the dress shop.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
SO: Indeed very good idea. Clothing first, drinks...we need a supply of those too ... later
FCO Lt Knight says:
SO/CSO:  Ugh!
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Shakes head:: TO: Monitor it, but for now, I don't see a major concern.. Leave it on screen anyway..
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Smiles at the duty officer as they pass him.:: FCO: I know the perfect dress for you.
FCO Lt Knight says:
CMO:  Look, if we're going to go into stores with dresses......a stiff drink might be a good idea!  ::laughs::
FCO Lt Knight says:
SO:  Something in a simple pattern I assume?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@All: Any good gentleman is not afraid to wear a dress
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CSO: I see him in black... what do you think?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
:: Nudges Aaron:: FCO: Think we can sneak off to the pub without the lasses noticing?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@SO: hmm yes black is good, with golden trimming
FCO Lt Knight says:
@SO/CSO:  You know, black really brings out the color of my eyes!
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CMO:  Okay, you're gonna have to help me out here Doc!
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CSO: Not too much...
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Points to a music store:: All: I will join you in about 10 minutes... just let me know where.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CMO:  There's got to be a glass of scotch around somewhere with my name on it!
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@SO: Tell you what, we'll go get the drinks, you guys get the clothing and we'll meet up back here.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Turns his attention back to the inventory lists and checks the available storage places for additional space::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@All: I'll find some decoration for my quarters. Art is something un-replicatable. I'll catch you later too
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CMO: You are going to abandon the CSO?  For shame...:: Slips away quickly into the store::
 TO Dram says:
XO: I never realized how quiet it was out here on the edge of space.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CSO/SO:  How about the two of you meet up with us at the pub when you're done.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@:: Shakes his head in confusion:: FCO: That was quick.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Catching the last words, waves her hand to them in acknowledgement::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@FCO: Sounds good to me. I'll be sure to get your dress. :: Heads for a nearby decoration shop::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CMO:  Who cares!  Let's go find a drink!
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks up from the console again and only mutters his agreement, before turning back to the overview::
SO Lt Rose says:
@:: A bit hesitantly:: *XO*: We are going to meet up in about 15 minutes or so if you care to join us for a drink.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@FCO: Best plan I've heard all day.
 TO Dram says:
XO: Did anyone ever find out about that energy signature we say just before leaving last time?
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sighs:: Self: Won't anyone let me work today..? *SO*: I might, but there's still work to be done.. For all of us.. Kindly remind the rest of the crew of this..
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@:: Enters a shop, immediately felling the scent of exquisite incenses. She smiles looking around at the candle displays and small tabletop fountains::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@:: Walks along and approaches the first drinking establishment they come upon::  CMO:  Ah, this looks as good as any to start.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@:: Nods and follows the FCO::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ ::Sighs:: XO: They know that Gary.  They also know we have a long assignment ahead of them and the captain only gave us a short window to finish up here... ::quietly:: Don't waste it.  Rose out.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@:: Approaches the bar::  CMO:  Well Doc, what'll you have?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@:: Picks up a scented candle which she decided will be a good gift for Gary. and moves on to check some paintings by a local artist::::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ ::Quickly locates the proprietor and looks over the items he had put aside for her.::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@FCO: I'll take a couple of crates of single malt. ::grins::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Glances at the TO:: TO: Not to my knowledge.. It is still very much a mystery..
 TO Dram says:
XO: Tactical does not like such mysteries.  They are like strange dogs.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@::pats the Doctor on the back::  CMO:  Now you're my kind of physician!  :: Orders them both a drink::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@:: Smiles and waits for his drink::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Shakes her head at one of the books, but takes the rest of the items, more then conscious of the passing of time and how little they had.::
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
TO: Tactical didn't mind them when I was in charge of it... ::Looks back to his console and gets back to work::
FCO Lt Knight says:
@:: Takes his drink that was placed in front of him and has a sip:: CMO:  So tell me Doc, you have any family?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@:: Exits the decoration shop with two large bags, merrily moving along behind her in an anti-gray cart and moves along to an accessory shop::
 TO Dram says:
:: Surprised:: XO: You didn't?  :: shakes head and seeing he wanted to be left alone, returns to sensors::  Aye sir.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@FCO: Just my parents... don't really have much contact with them now though.
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Finds some more space in one of the cargo bays and sends the instruction to the loading teams to make a slight change in the arrangements to use the space more efficiently::
SO Lt Rose says:
*CSO*: I am done... I said I would be quick.  Where are you?
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CMO:  Is that by choice....or perhaps circumstances?  But, my apologies if that is a personal issue.
 TO Dram says:
XO: Incoming from the station.  They report they are waiting for some supplies from engineering, about another half hour, and they will be done.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@*SO*That was fast. I am down at the Golden Necklace, that little accessory shop not far from the music shop
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@:: Looks at a pair of shining crystal earrings:
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods at the TO:: TO: Alright… ::Looks at the current storage availability and compares it to the still out-standing supply list::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Looks toward the store::  CSO: I see it... I will be there in a moment.  And before we leave this station, I really am getting Aaron a black dress.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@FCO: A little of both really... they were dead set against me signing up for Starfleet.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@CMO:  Ah, okay.  I understand and will drop the subject.  ::smiles::  So how long have you been a malt man?
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@*SO*: We'll find something if you know his size
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@:: Chuckles:: FCO: Err ever since me father gave me whiskey to help me sleep as a baby.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Comes up to her:: CSO: I think we can guess... it should be nice and tight.  And a camera ready.
FCO Lt Knight says:
@:: Laughs::  CMO:  You must have been a very happy baby!
Sam is now known as CO Capt Monroe.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@:: Grins:: FCO: Very happy. :: Laughs::
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@SO: Oh there you are. That should be easy. I'm about ready here too,
FCO Lt Knight says:
@:: Takes another sip of his drink and turns around in his seat to have a view of the other patrons::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CSO: The question is... how to get it on him.
CSO LtJG Tulpen says:
@SO: we could drug him in his sleep ...
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Wandering into the store with her...:: CSO: I wonder if we could talk the doctor into that...
Adm Harlan says:
:: As they arrive at her office, she bids Red a good evening and slips into the currently empty area.::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Adjust his tunic a bit::
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Have a seat... can I get you anything? :: Walks over to a cabinet area and begins to make some fresh tea.::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: No thanks, Admiral.  :: Sits down and readjusts his tunic again::
 Adm Harlan says:
:: Glances over at him.:: CO: You look a bit uncomfortable.  I promise I will not eat you... today.  ::As the water quickly comes to a boil, pours it into the cup with the herbs and comes over to join him.::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Yes I think my uniform shrunk last time I wore it.  I will have to see the tailor since I am here.  :: Tugs on the tunic again, then thinks "oh great, mental note don't get into trouble::
 Adm Harlan says:
:: At the sound of the chime, admits her administrative assistant and with thanks, takes the box being handed to her.  Smiles over at Monroe:: CO: Sounds more like a diet to me.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Diet?  ::Looks at his stomach:: I donno, I have been injured so that might be it.
 Adm Harlan says:
:: After her aide leaves, lays the box on the table, opening it.  She reaches inside. Teasingly:: CO: Diet.
 Adm Harlan says:
:: Places the box before Monroe:: CO: I believe this is yours.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Takes the box:: Harlan: And this is for?
 Adm Harlan says:
:: Quotes:: CO: The Starfleet Medal of Valor

Awarded to any member of Starfleet who, while serving in any capacity distinguishes themselves by gallantry in action against an enemy of the United Federation of Planets; or while serving with friendly forces against an opposing armed enemy force.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Opens the case:: Harlan: I am... speechless.
 Adm Harlan says:
:: Pushes the box across to him.:: CO: There are other awards here that I would like you to give to your crew; from both the Federation and the Amenti.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Takes the box:: Harlan: I will definitely give this out accordingly.
 Adm Harlan says:
:: Sits back to drink her tea::  CO: Your crew appears ready for their next assignment.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: We have had a lot of time to rest up, and prepare for this mission.
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: As you know, you will be going into Xindi space.  What you do not know, is you will not be working with the Xindi council itself.  You will be going in and among worlds within Xindi space; some that are aligned with the Xindi, some who are not, and some who remain neutral.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: And will that information be given to us on who is?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Once on your way, you will download a database with that information.  However, we are on our honor to remove it once the mission is over with.  But what you learn during your sojourn there is ours to keep.
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: I believe you are familiar with their last major war?  After their hundred year war, they ended up scattered throughout the Expanse into several colonies.  As a whole, they passionately desire to establish a new homeworld that will unify all Xindi.  However, trying to accomplish this has remained rather elusive until recently. Especially as a good part of the problem of their integration was who should hold the ultimate reigns of power.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Yes and we are to help unify them?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Indirectly.  The council decided on retro-genetics to create a new council.  Six children were born from each group.  Each child is to spend a certain amount of time with each sub-group to become familiar with language and culture until they come of an age to join the council itself.  The children and the entire data files were stolen.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: And our mission is to retrieve them?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Yes.  And you are to do so without anyone knowing what you are up to.  So far the council has managed to keep this quiet.  It is critical that it remain so.  So much so, that they had decided to call in outsiders, hence their desire during our war with the Synod to curry a favor.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: I understand.  Do they have any leads to who could have taken them?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Very little.  The only thing they know for sure, are that the children are still alive.  It is to be hoped that once you find one, you will be able to find the others easier.  They do have a lead for you.  They will let you know where that is once they are ready to drop you off at your starting point, just outside of Xindi space.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Ah alright.  are we fo go there as a Federation Ship having fun or are we to keep anonymous?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: While there is nominal interaction between our two governments, it is still there.  I would suggest you feel out the area first and make your own decision on this.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods:: Harlan: And what is our rules for engagement?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: My first inclination is to say none as we are guests.  However, again, I must leave this in your hands to judge accordingly.  Defense is always acceptable, but in this case, that defense may be in leaving an area as quickly as you can.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Aye, we will definitely limit that.
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Do you have any specific questions I can answer for you?
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: I have one.  Why are they doing this now?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Now as in...?
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: As in creating the children now instead of 200 years ago?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: One of the theories behind the six Xindi races is that they were once one species that was genetically altered from the original race into different specialized lifeforms to best utilize their world.  During the war, that information was lost… if that theory is true.  They have only recently re-discovered a way to rebirth the original race.  And there is much controversial over that.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: I see, also has there been any resistance to the children at all?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: As mentioned, as far as I know, only the council and those working on the project knew of these children.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Very well.  And Transportation how will we get back once we have rescued the children?
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: The Xindi will return you.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Very well.  That should be all the questions I have Admiral.  I believe I have everything I need.
 Adm Harlan says:
CO: Then I bid you a good trip captain and will let you get on with enjoying your short time here before heading off.  I have already been informed that the Xindi are here and waiting for you when you are ready.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Harlan: Thank you admiral.  It will be a good trip, and by the time I get back I will have lost some weight.  :: Smiles and gets up::
 Adm Harlan says:
:: Smiles and stand:: CO: I wish you a short and safe journey.  Walk in beauty.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Heads out the door with the box, and wonders how much weight he gained::
