Summary:
Well dinner with Captain Porter and his officers seems to have been a resounding success. The food was fantastic, the company exceptional and the gifts, quite the surprise. The perfect ending to a wonderful meal indeed.

The young Captain Porter seems to be a bit over anxious in his readiness to make an impression on the more experienced Captain K`Vas and his fine officers. Gifts made of gold? Is Porter just a rich kid in a Starfleet uniform?

As the crew prepares to head back to the Triton, their bellies are full and all are feeling stuffed. Diet time for the crew?

Preparations are still ongoing for the construction of the new base on Serenity. The plans have been set and everyone is anxious to get there and get started however, Captain Porter has another suggestion for Captain K`Vas.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Admiring the bracelet she was given by Captain Porter and then whispers to the Chief Tactical Officer.::  CTO:  So what do you make of it?  Real gold?  I guess we should scan it when we get back to the ship.  I didn't bring a tricorder with me, did you?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Whispers back.::  XO: Unlike most in security I don't tend to be paranoid enough to do that for a dinner invitation.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Speaks quietly to Quchant.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Chuckles and whispers.::  CTO:  True, but now tell the truth .. this Captain Porter is just a bit odd.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Sits looking at the bracelet and thinks of a distant memory and a small tear falls.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Looks over to Operations.::  OPS:  So .. what did you think of dinner?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Sits quietly next to one of the shuttles, typing away on a padd.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Whispers.::  XO:  A little...but I used to think humans were a tad odd in general.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Wipes the tear away.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Silent, thinking about the preparations he has to make.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  They are.  ::Chuckles.::  Watch out for the quiet ones.  ::Grins.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO:  As you say, Ma'am.  ::Grins back.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Another tear forms and falls as the memory brings back happier times to when she was married.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO:  I think that sometimes humans make a lot of noises for not very much.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Please, call me Kasey when we're not on the bridge.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO:  Okay,...Kasey.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
OPS:  Then we all seem to be in agreement.  ::Smiles at the Chief Tactical Officer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Thinking of her happier times with Patrick when she was with him on the Claymore.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
OPS: I found that I did have much to get used to when I followed Tanon into Starfleet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Softly.::  All:  Patrick I still miss you.  ::Sighs.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  So what about you, Commander?  What do you think of Captain Porter's hospitalities?

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Mills around the back of the dining hall as the Triton guests seem to be deciding what to do next.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Hums quietly to himself, reading over what he just wrote, correcting error and trying not to feel overly bored.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Is brought from her memory and looks at Kasey.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Wipes the tears.::  XO:  I am sorry.  I was thinking of something.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CTO:  Life on a Starfleet ship is interesting; so many people to interact with, but it has also the down side of being more difficult to know what to expect from those serving with you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  For me he is too eager and, well his bracelet was kind.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*CSO*:  Lieutenant, did you go exploring?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO:  Captain Porter seems to be alone, shouldn't we give him our thanks and get back to the Triton?

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Rubs his hands excitedly as he approaches the Executive Officer.::  XO:  Commander if I might have a moment of your time, please?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Something in your eyes?  ::Notices her wiping her eyes.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  Well no, there is nothing in my eyes.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Looks up, somewhat startled.:: *XO*:  Uh, as much as one can explore a shuttle bay, Sir.  I had assumed I was free once dinner was over.  Would you like me to return?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
OPS:  It does indeed, but I like a challenge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~XO: I was just remembering a happier time with my husband Patrick on the Claymore and I still miss him.~~~

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Overhears Captain Porter.::  Capt. Porter:  But of course, Captain.  

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
ALL:  If you will all excuse me, please.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
OPS:  Looks like we're about to do just that.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*CSO*:  No, that's fine, Lieutenant.  I was just wondering where you got off to.  Enjoy your walk.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  We'll talk later, okay?  I promise.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~XO: I would like that, Kasey.  Thank you.~~~

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Gives a wink to the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Goes back to writing, part of his mind wandering off to think about core samples.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Heads over to Captain Porter.::  Capt. Porter:  Nice dinner arrangements.  You went all out.  Thank you for your hospitality.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Fights the urge to cry as she remembers when she got the news of his death she was in the brig.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Pulls the Executive Officer aside.::  XO:  You're most welcome, Commander.  It was my humble pleasure.  ::Bows slightly.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Nods at the Executive Officer.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Bows back to him.::  Capt. Porter:  The pleasure was mine, Captain.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Speaks softly.::  XO:  I wanted to speak to you about a rumor I've heard.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Places her hands behind her back.::  CO:  Rumor?  Well I haven't been on Triton long, Captain, but I will do my best to set the record straight if I can.

Host Capt_Porter says:
XO:  I've heard that your Captain has a new toy.  Is this true?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Tries not to choke.::  Capt. Porter:  Well I guess that would depend on what new toy you are talking about.  ::Wiggles her eyes a bit.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Smiles.:: XO: His new experimental craft.  Now don't tell me you haven't seen it?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
OPS:  So have you enjoyed your time on the Triton so far?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Capt. Porter:  To be honest, Captain, I haven't really seen it.  I just came aboard a few days ago, and well ::pauses and then looks him straight in the eye.:: .. they just don't let me out much.  ::Grins.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Looks for the Counselor.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Listens to the banter around her.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Spots her and walks up to her.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS:  Excuse me, Sir, but can a talk with you.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Nods.::  CEO:  Of course, what is it?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CTO:  I have kept myself quite busy, with all the cargo we are transporting, I made plans for the unloading so that we don't lose time and the important material gets delivered on time, but it made me walk all around the ship

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Winks and moves a hand to pat her back.:: XO: Understood my dear, but getting back to our discussion.  Do you think your Captain would let me take it out for a spin, with him of course.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CTO:  What do you think of the ship?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Plays music in his mind, his head moving along with it.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: I wanted to know if we could like maybe talk soon.  I have many things that are bothering me and I believe talking with a counselor might help to solve them.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Capt. Porter:  I don't see why not.  Although I think our Captain has gotten lost.  He seems to be missing.  Would you like me to comm him and ask him?

CNS_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Any time you are ready, I'll make my schedule open to you.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
OPS:  I find it different than what I expected. My cousin was assigned on the Triton until recently, and I suppose I got a somewhat skewed view of the ship from him.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CTO:  What department was he in?

Host Capt_Porter says:
XO:  How about I just return to the Triton with you all and then we'll ask him?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS:  Well the sooner the better, Sir.  I have been getting a lot of mixed emotions and that is not good.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
OPS:  He was Operations at first and than transferred to Flight Control.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Capt. Porter:  We would love to have you.  After all, it's our turn to return the hospitality.  ::Smiles at him.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
CEO: I'm not sure this is exactly the best place to talk, but if you need to talk now, I'm sure we can find a quiet spot.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Pats her again.:: XO: How delightful!  I shall meet you at the shuttle bay once your Captain has returned.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Capt Porter:  Will do.  I will gather the crew, and head to the shuttle bay.  Do we need an escort?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: I appreciate you candidness; and yes, I think now would be a good time to start cause I am about ready to cry, and for a Klingon to be seen crying is not the warrior way.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Chuckles.::  CO:  Forgot the way my dear?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Capt. Porter:  Not at all, Captain.  I just didn't want to be placed in the corner for roaming the ship without a required escort if one was required.  ::Grins.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Capt Porter:  Then I will see you in the shuttle bay.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Turns to walk away.:: XO:  I think I can trust you, Commander.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Smiles at him.::  Out loud:  I hope so.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Nods and motions toward the door.::  CEO:  Why don't we take a walk?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CTO:  Have you served on another ship before?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*ALL*:  All senior staff, if you will please head to the shuttle bay and ready for departure back to Triton.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: Sure lets get out of here before the Captain sees me.  It would dishonor him as he is my teacher and I his pupil.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Hears the Executive Officer and frowns.::  CNS: Well I guess it will have to wait till we get back to the ship.  ::Wipes another errant tear.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Ceases his session of private air guitar and straightens out his uniform, stashing his padd and box in the shuttle and awaiting the crew.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Leads the way out of the room.::  CEO:  Looks like, but we can talk a bit on the way to the shuttle.  What has you so near a break down?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Heads for the shuttle bay.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*CSO*:  Lieutenant Sumner, I hate to take advantage of your free time, but would you be kind enough to begin pre-flights of the shuttles.  We will be there shortly.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Walks to the shuttle bay.::

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckling she grabs Thomas by the arm and guides him towards the shuttlebay.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Follows the crew to the shuttle bay.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Follows behind Operations, the Chief Medical Officer, and the Chief Tactical Officer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: I have been having memories of my previous marriage and tonight the bracelet has brought back the memories of my dead husband and it still hurts because I still love him and miss him.  It has been over a year or more but I still feel for him.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Heads to the nearest TL with the crew, and then orders it to the appropriate deck the shuttle bay is on.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Heads for the shuttle bay as well anxious to visit the Triton and try out the Captain's new toy.::

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
::Heads for the shuttles with the rest of his crew, dinner not agreeing with him.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Love is something you never get over. You'll always feel for him and have an empty spot for him, but the key is to let go and allow yourself to move on.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: I got the news of his death along with my mother’s death while I was held in the brig.  I was accused of attempted murder of the captain and sabotage of my Lady the Triton.  All of which I was innocent but it has hurt me to find out the news in the brig.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Nods.:: CEO: I can understand that.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: Now my heart has burned for nearly three years for another here on the ship but......it goes unnoticed, and well I am somewhat lacking.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Exits the Turbolift, and makes her way with the others to the shuttlebay.::

ACTION: All the Triton crew finally arrives in the shuttle bay and load into their shuttles.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Tries to remember preflight instructions... he fumbles a bit, but manages to get things checking out.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Enters the shuttle and begins the pre-flight checks after she decrypts the fractal encryption code for the shuttle to open the hatch.::

ACTION:  Vice Admiral Sheridan is staying behind on the Kensington to inspect her.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Decrypts the shuttle controls and continues the preflight checks.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Sits in the same seat she did before on the shuttle.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Sees K`Vas and grins.::  CO:  Mind another visitor, Captain?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::All controls are in the green.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Takes his seat behind the pilot seat, wondering if they would get another round between the Captains.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Follows the Chief Engineering Officer onto the shuttle and sits down.:: CEO: I understand, we'll talk more when we get back to the Triton.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Thanks for getting things ready, Commander.  ::Sees the hatch is closed and gets permission to depart the Kensington.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Sir, we are ready to go.

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter: It would be an honor... please join us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Er.... I mean, Ma'am.  Sorry.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Climbs in and takes a seat.:: CO: So you have a new toy I hear.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: Thank you, Counselor.  I am sure our talks will help.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Permission has been given for departure.  Proceed, please.  

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*CO*:  Captain, ::hesitates.::  We'll race you back?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Understood, Ma'am.  ::Lifts the Jenolan up easily and out of the Kensington’s shuttle bay and heads back for the Triton::

ACTION: Both shuttles clear the Kensington heading for the Triton.

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
#::Performs a roll and accelerates to maximum.::  *XO*:  If this is to be a race you will need to hurry.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
%::Hits the thrusters and impulse engines and heads straight for the Triton in a straight line.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
%CEO:  Get'em.  ::Chuckles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
%::Rolls the Jenolan and accelerates to its maximum thrust and pushes the engines into the red.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
%Self: Call my shuttles poorly maintained I will show that fool who is the best CEO on the ship.::

ACTION: The shuttles have arrived back on the Triton safe and sound and Captain Porter is waiting for Captain K`Vas to show him his toy.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  Well I guess we showed him, right.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  That was good flying.  I think I'll go pick up my stomach now.  ::Grins at her.::

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
::Walking across the flight deck his cane making a loud noise he motions for Porter to join him.::  Porter: This way, Captain.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Commander, what kind of tracking devices are on the Oracle?

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Exits the shuttle and stretches...glad that it was a short ride.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Picks up his pace.:: CO:  So you designed this yourself?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Takes his box and padd and heads for a turbolift, needing to drop by his office.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Exits her shuttle and makes for the nearest Turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter:  Designed and flight tested it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: That is a recon craft and she has the latest in tracking sensor technology.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Well not that we need it.  I'm sure the Captain will bring her back ::chuckles.::  CEO:  You headed to engineering or back to the bridge?

Host Capt_Porter says:
CO:  Interesting hobby you have. ::Smiles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: That is the Captain's baby.  I get to keep her in shape.  Wouldn't mind taking her out for a joy ride but I will not disobey the Captain's orders.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Follows the others out of the shuttle bay and toward the nearest lift.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Enters the Bridge from the Turbolift and goes to her station intent on programming the tactical sensors to detect any possible planet-side threats.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Well when he gets back, I would love to see what she's made of.  I haven't had the opportunity to see her yet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Engineering is manned by Lt.JG Ko'tar, my Senior Engineering Officer; so I am headed for the counselor’s office first then the bridge.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Exits the shuttle with Thomas and the both head off towards the crew quarters.  Nita wants to see Colin and Mia before they fall fast asleep.  Besides she promised to tell Mia everything about the dinner party.  Grinning, she also thought she'd like the bracelet that Capt Port gave her.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  All right then, we'll talk later?  I suppose I have to get back to the bridge anyway.  ::Grins at her.::

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter:  Starfleet could not build what we needed so it took some Klingon engineering to do the job; fortunately I was a Klingon engineer.  ::Laughs a huge belly laugh.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  Commander, we will definitely talk later.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Starts programming.::  Self: I'm going to have this thing able to monitor to the subatomic level before I sleep tonight.

ACTION:  Porter and K`Vas enter the Oracle's lair.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Enters the bridge, after a detour to the cargo bay.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  See you later then!  ::Heads out for the nearest Turbolift, waiting patiently for it to arrive, and then heads inside ordering it to the bridge.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Waits for the Counselor so she can go with her to her office.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
CO:  Wow, that's some ship.  ::Walks over and feels her hull.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Waits for a second lift to arrive, then motions for the Chief Engineering Officer to enter.:: CEO: After you.  ::Smiles.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Drops his stuff off at his office, checking the status of a few running experiments before turning around and heading for the turbolift once more.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Waits for the Turbolift doors to open, and then exits onto the bridge going to her station.::  *ALL*:  All stations, please report readiness for departure to Serenity.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: Thank you, Sir.  ::Enters the lift.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Enters the lift and waits for the doors to close.:: Computer: Deck 12.

EO_Ko’tar says: 
*XO*: Engineering is 100% ready, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
::Opens the hatch.::  Porter: The inside is just as impressive.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Runs a check of the tactical systems.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
CO: May we take her out for a spin?  ::Steps inside.::

EO_Ko’tar says: 
*XO*: Ma'am, do you know where Mo'Bri is?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Steps off the lift and moves to his station, quickly checking the sensors.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*EO Ko'tar*:  Thank you, Lieutenant.  Commander Mo'Bri is speaking with the counselor I believe.

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter:  Of course.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Sits down and examines the controls.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
CEO: I've been thinking about what you told me, and the situation is awkward.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: All tactical systems are in the green and security teams are reporting nothing amiss.

EO_Ko’tar says: 
*XO*: Thank you, Ma'am.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Leads the way off the lift, walking toward the counseling ward.::

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
::Jumps in behind Porter and waits for launch.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO:  Sensors are online, Commander.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Good job, Ensign.  The Captain may want to take Captain Porter out for a spin in the Oracle.  I thought you might want to know.

Host Capt_Porter says:
CO:  How fast is she?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: It is an awkward position.  I am four races in one body and the battles in my mind have hindered me on some occasions.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Thank you, Lieutenant.  ::Nods to him, and takes a seat in her chair.::

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter:  Warp 9.95 indefinitely.

Host Capt_Porter says:
CO:  Fascinating!

CNS_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Most hybrids have a dominant side.  What do you feel drives you? ::Waits for the Chief Engineering Officer to enter the suite, then motions her over to the office.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: I'll monitor it on tactical sensors, Ma'am. 

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Great!  And if you could grant them clearance for a test run.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
Self: It will be good to see if the upgrades I've already programmed in are working correctly.

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter: Take us out.

Host Capt_Porter says:
CO: Are you sure, Captain?

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
Porter:  It would be an honor.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
*CO*: Captain everything is green for your flight. Have fun.

Host Capt_Porter says:
::Touches the controls with a firm hand.::  CO:  You've got it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Walks in and sits.:: CNS: Before I came aboard here I was married to the Captain of the Claymore, and I had a companion bird that held my dark side or in this case my Klingon heritage in check.  He has been gone for some time now and my Klingon side has emerged and it is the dominant side.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Watches the view screen for the departure of the Oracle.::

ACTION: The Oracle smoothly leaves the Triton.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: When he died my emotions were no longer in check, and the Klingon side came out.  And it was not a pretty sight.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Programs the computer to send a message to those selected for the planet-side security team with an additional message to meet her in the holodeck after shift the next day.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
@CO:  She handles like a dream!  Better than a few women I know as well.  ::Laughs.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Keeps the Oracle on the tactical sensors.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Brings up his 'special' experiment, going over the latest simulation results.::

Host Capt_Porter says:
@CO: Shall we see what she can do, K`Vas?

Host CO_Capt_K`Vas says:
@Porter:  I would expect no less.

CNS_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Letting the Klingon features of your heritage come out isn't a bad thing. You just have to learn self control. I've rarely met a Klingon who lacked self control.

Host Capt_Porter says:
@::Hits the warp engine controls and takes the ship to maximum warp.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Keep an eye on sensors to alert the Captain to any traffic in the area that may interfere with their test run.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Makes herself comfortable.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: That is just it.  I have Romulan in me and I HATE that part of my heritage.  I detest everything about it in me.  I won't accept it and neither will any other Klingon that would have me for a mate.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Frowns briefly, and clears the simulation, activating long range sensors and scanning for other vessels in the Oracle's vicinity.::

ACTION:  Both tactical and science sensors begin to beep.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Anger and hate begin to make her angry and the tears form and fall down her cheeks.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Checks the sensors for the cause.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Quirks a brow and checks the sensors.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO/CSO:  What's happening?  Please tell me that's just a glitch in our systems.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Checking now, Ma'am.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Looks over at the sensor readings.::  CTO:  What happened to the Oracle?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  She's gone!

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO:  I'm not reading the Oracle on any scans, Sir.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  See if you can get a warp trail to track where she was headed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
