CIV_Knote says:
SO: Seems the XO is busy... Lets meet Captain Winters.

CSO_Weaver says:

SO_Hayes says:
CO: I did find a way to get quarters; I just need to know where I am going.

::Stands near the back of the crowd, rather undaunted, before he realizes he's the one being addressed.  ::Nods rather sheepishly::  SO:  Thank you.

CIV_Knote says:
::Catching Weaver's eye raises his glass in toast and drinks::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Takes a rather large drink of his Brandy::

XO_Keorn says:
Computer: What is the source of the page I just received?

Host Regin says:
<Computer>XO: No communications have been routed to the XO.

Lt_Monroe says:
::takes a piece of cheese and eats it, while listening to the CO::

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ Jarek, if it is that entity then if these headaches continue for much longer I will notify the CO and XO of our thoughts~~~~

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: ~~~ Do not do that Mrai, Let us be sure first~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Enjoy your meal. :: stomach rumbles again ::

Ens_Praught says:
::Sits quietly.......only listening half heartedly::

CIV_Knote says:
::Debates whether to return to the buffet table::

OPS_Miaek says:
:: looks at the EO:: EO: Feel better?

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ on this subject that is~~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Oh I just remembered. :: smiles widely ::

CSO_Weaver says:
::Sees Knote near the back of the crowd and approaches him::  CIV:  How goes it?

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: It goes sir. ::chuckles::

XO_Keorn says:
Computer: Begin diagnostic of comm systems.

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ only if these headaches that feel this familiar persist that’s all I'm saying~~~~

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the second officer and nods::

EO_Porter says:
OPS: Yes. Thank you. I guess that food just didn't agree with me. I'll have to take something else.

Host CO_Winters says:
All: There has been a particular crewmember who has been doing an outstanding job keeping this ship together, despite some pretty intense fighting.

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: Well done by the way.

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: ~~~ Lets confer first is all I'm saying~~~

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ Got it, I agree~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
All: This officer is worthy of recognition and a promotion.

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Mr. Jarek, if you would step forward please.

CNS_Mrai says:
:: looks towards the buffet ::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Stands and walks towards the CO::

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Yes sir.

CIV_Knote says:
::Leans head toward the buffet:: CSO: Shall we?

CSO_Weaver says:
::Nods in acknowledgement::  CIV:  Most definitely.  The food on the transport was less than palatable.

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Oh wait a second… :: smiles :: You left something at your table.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Raises Left eyebrow::

CIV_Knote says:
::Moves toward the food table:: CSO: Well this should more than make up for it.  ::Only half listening to the CO::

CIV_Knote says:
::Begins filling a plate with the stuff that he can recognize::

CSO_Weaver says:
CIV:  Certainly looks like it.  ::Glances over in the CEO's direction to see what's going on::

XO_Keorn says:
::moves over to the table and lifts the CEO's place card, under is the new pips for his promotion::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks to the XO::

XO_Keorn says:
::smiles at CEO::

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: I believe the XO placed something at your table earlier.

CNS_Mrai says:
:: starts to look under his place card but stops and thinks better of it::

Host Regin says:
ACTION: Loud music blares from the comm system

CSO_Weaver says:
::Grabs a plate and starts loading it up::

CIV_Knote says:
::Winces at the loud music and looks for Barbeque ribs::

CIV_Knote says:
::Moves down the table carefully selecting items::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: covers ears and ducks :: Computer: Stop that bloody noise.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: Music stops

CMO_Thornne says:
::watches the CSO & Civ out of the corner of her eye... but concentrating more on what's going on up front::

OPS_Miaek says:
EO: The ship is acting weird or is it just me?

EO_Porter says:
OPS: Definitely weird. I wonder what those Starbase guys are up to.

SO_Hayes says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: I don't think it is just you. ::grins::

OPS_Miaek says:
EO:  I dread the thought.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the Captain::

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Lieutenant Jarek, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander with all the ranks and privileges thereof.

CIV_Knote says:
::Piles on what looks like boiled shrimp::

CSO_Weaver says:
::Furrows his brow::  CIV:  Has this been happening a lot lately?  I thought my quarters were the only haunted section on the ship.  ::Grins::

EO_Porter says:
OPS: The shaking I can sort of understand, but why is the comm system acting up? I'll have to look into it later on.

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: Pardon my rudeness, welcome aboard.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the Captain and Nods, CO: Thank you sir.

CIV_Knote says:
::Sneaks a taste and spits it out:: Aloud: What the  ...?

XO_Keorn says:
::claps CEO on the back and gives him a strong handshake::

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: Thank you sir.

CNS_Mrai says:
:: glances up at the music :: Hmmmm this is just too strange, something is going on here!!!

OPS_Miaek says:
EO: Let me know if you need a hand.

EO_Porter says:
OPS: Will do.

CIV_Knote says:
::Gulps his drink::

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: And if I may suggest, your first line of business should be to get the Starbase engineers on our computer problems.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: My pleasure sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
All: That is all. Enjoy your meal.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: moves back to his table ::

CIV_Knote says:
::Hears the CO but is more concerned with the lousy food::

XO_Keorn says:
::moves back to his seat at the head table

SO_Hayes says:
OPS: I am Ens Hayes... and you are?

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: Ens Miaek Xander, Ship's Operations Officer.

SO_Hayes says:
OPS: Nice to meet you.

 CIV_Knote says:
::Turns to CSO:: CSO: This stuff tastes terrible.

CIV_Knote says:
::Tries another item. It too is terrible.::

CIV_Knote says:
::Gags::

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ congrats Jarek, couldn't have happened to a better CEO~~~~

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: ~~~ Thanks Mrai, you are a good friend~~~

CIV_Knote says:
::Puts food plate down::

CMO_Thornne says:
::Looks at the Civ:: Civ: Do you require me to return the favour?

CSO_Weaver says:
::Frowns::  CIV:  That wasn't exactly what I was hoping to hear.  ::Pokes cautiously at an apple::  You all right?

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods at CSO and tries some fruit::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: takes a bread role and bites into it ::

CIV_Knote says:
::sighs:: CSO: At least that tastes right.

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: Let me know if you need anything?

SO_Hayes says:
OPS: A map of the ship! I first worked on a station! I trained a lot on other ships, just not this type.

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: I think that can be arranged.

SO_Hayes says:
OPS: Thank you.

CEO_Jarek says:
* SB Engineers* Status and ETA to Bridge completion.

Host Regin says:
<Eng>*CEO* We're almost finished, sir...  20 minutes, and we'll be done.

CEO_Jarek says:
* SB Engineers* Acknowledged.

CIV_Knote says:
::Shakes head:: Self: All this stuff and only the fruit tastes good?

CSO_Weaver says:
CIV:  Good.  ::Sets his plate down, taking only the apple::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: You try to have a little fun and look what happens.

CIV_Knote says:
::Samples the shrimp::

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: Is that all you need?

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods at CSO:: CSO: This is ok too.

XO_Keorn says:
CO: The crew needs these get-to-gathers but I think we should triple check the systems before each one in the future.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Yes it seems every time we do something happens.

SO_Hayes says:
OPS: I think so.... any important things I should know about this ship?

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: I'm fairly new myself, but you find out this ship has it's own personality.

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: But that... ::points at the meat:: Is lousy.

CSO_Weaver says:
::Takes a tentative bite out of the apple::  CIV:  That would be comforting...if I liked seafood.  ::Grins slightly::  Ah well...

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Sir Starbase engineers report we'll be ready in approx. 20 minutes sir.

XO_Keorn says:
CO: If we held it on a planet it would rain.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Indeed.

CMO_Thornne says:
::Moves forward, trying to mingle::

CNS_Mrai says:
:: smiles:: CEO: Sir, if I may suggest a appointment sometime soon to discuss these headaches, and to update your psych profile due to your new rank..

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: Think I'll just wait and eat on the Starbase later.

SO_Hayes says:
OPS: Own personality? I sure know it can act a bit crazy... with the things that happened today.

OPS_Miaek says:
SO: The EO can give you some comical stories about the ship. ::nudges the EO::

EO_Porter says:
::grins:: OPS: All ships have their kinks.

CNS_Mrai says:
:: grumbles under his breath:: Self : I wish they would let me know about these promotions beforehand so that I can set up the paperwork to be added to there psych profiles..

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: Can we keep this informal when no one is around Mrai?

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: Sure Jarek.

Host Regin says:
