Prologue:

As the senior staff gather, the blood wine begins to flow, the food display before them is impressive thanks to the assistance of the escort ships. Something for everyone and everyone is having a wonderful evening.

FCO_Meadows says:
CSO: Well it wouldn't be the same without you here if you left

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
VADM: Yes admiral, it is a far better way to honor their losses then to grieve

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Well, I don't think I can leave the celebration right now.  It would be bad manners, if you know what I mean.  Is it something you need privacy for?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
FCO: Thank you, but again, if it has to happen it won't be tomorrow. Right now you will still have to cope with this blabbering scientist I am afraid ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
XO: Yeah it would be better in private I don't need the CO and the rest of the crew to know what is going on.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:

:: whispers:: VADM: Many things if he has the right companion

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
FCO: Oh I know, and her curriculum is great. I am sure she will help the department a lot and maybe take some shifts off my shoulders::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Congratulations sir.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Thank you commander :: looks back at the admiral and tries not to growl ::

 VADM_Sheridan says:
:: smiles and whispers again :: CO: You are an interesting man Captain and you've just peaked my interest. Please, tell me more.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
XO: I should be able to hang in there.  I will hurt inside but try not to let my feelings out.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: walks over and get another strong drink, but stays away from the bood wine::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::looks amused at the Captain and the Admiral flirting like well like two young cadets then raises slightly his glass in their honor::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: sits at the bar::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
FCO: Oh no I am trying to quit. Besides it would not be nice flirting with a subordinate, fun yes, but not nice ::grins::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::goes with the XO for more fool and Necti::

 VADM_Sheridan says:

FCO_Meadows says:
::grins:: CSO: Well maybe I'll check her out for you

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
XO: Yeah I guess so.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
