CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::walks into the room and takes the same seat he sat in earlier in the day::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks up to see them come in and smiles:: All: Welcome, everyone.

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
::takes her seat::

Capt_VanSickle says:
Greetings

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
We're a bit early so it will be just a few more minutes.  ::starts to get her notes in order::

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::nods to the Captain::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::smiles at the Vulcan science officer::

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Captain and the CSO::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees the flight officer come in and nods a greeting::

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::examines a logic puzzle he purchased from a Ferengi merchant ... quite complex::

FCO_MJDoole says:
::looks around the room, easily seeing everything, being 9 and a half feet tall

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees Cmdr Tarrez enter and nods a greeting::

Capt_VanSickle says:
I wouldn't trust a Ferengi after the bait and switch one of them made at Quark's last weekend.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
All: There's coffee in the back here.  Fresh grown, not replicated.  ::heads over and gets herself a cup::

Capt_VanSickle says:
Nah.  I don't do coffee.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::grimaces slightly at the idea of coffee ... finest organic suspension known to man indeed::

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
Neither do I ... anymore ::glances at Van Sickle::

Capt_VanSickle says:
What? ::looks innocently::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Van Sickle: Bait and switch?  What happened?  ::sips the wonderful nectar of the gods::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::sees a face that she thinks she remembers and walks over to her::  Comdr: Let's see.  It is Cmdr Horn correct?  I met you at Ryan and Sarah's wedding?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::hears the two Commanders:: Horn/Van Sickle: If the two of you are talking to each other please keep it down. Some of us are trying to get some work done. ::continues working on the puzzle::

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
Tarrez: That's correct.  How have you been?

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: I was buying an ice cream sundae with cookies, but it ended up being a whipped cream sundae.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::small smile:: I wish better.

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
Why?  What's happened?

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: I imagine that would save the Ferengi’s a few bars of latinum on freezing costs if they didn't have to keep the ice cream.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::struggles a bit in the sadness::  My husband recently died.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Oh, I gave that Ferengi a piece of my mind!

Capt_VanSickle says:
Tarrez: Oh.  My condolences.

Commander_AQilla_Horn says:
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::tries to smile a little brighter:: But I also have a bit of happy news.

Cmdr_Horn says:
You do?  What's that?

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::grips Tarrez's shoulder in encouragement as she passes by towards the stage and gives her a quick smile::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
Like Sarah I am expecting a wee one in a few months.

Cmdr_Horn says:
::grins:: That's wonderful!

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::smiles appreciatively at her CO::

Cmdr_Horn says:
Tarrez:  I hear you're the XO of the Delphyne now ... congratulations on your promotion.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: Thanks.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
Horn: How are you and your family doing

Cmdr_Horn says:
Tarrez:  We're doing fine.  The twins just turned 1 ... I can't believe they're growing up so quickly

FCO_MJDoole says:
Capt_K`Beth: Hey, Captain. Got any tea? Earl Gray. Hot. preferably

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::heads up to the stage::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Actually I think there might be some...or the replicator in the back.  We'll begin in just a moment if everyone will take their seats please?

Capt_VanSickle says:
::slips to the head::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::looks up and thinks 'Now there's a guy after my own heart' makes note to get some tea in a bit::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::resumes her seat::

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::places the logic puzzle under some PADDs and gets ready for the lecture to begin::

FCO_MJDoole says:
::finds the tea, and gets a cup::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::pulls out a PADD to make notes::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
Horn: I will be right back. ::heads for the tea::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::waits for everyone to settle and walks up to the podium and sets her PADD down::  Hello, I am Captain K'Beth T'Kar.  Commanding Officer of the USS Delphyne.

Capt_VanSickle says:
::returns to seat::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::quickly grabs a cup and then heads back to take her seat next to the Cmdr.  Pulls a padd out for some notes

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Welcome to the Command Seminar.  During the course of the next hour I hope to show you all aspects of command and allow you a taste of the every day decisions that a CO may have to make.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Tonight is going to be a bit more than a lecture... I'm going to throw out different scenarios.  Some real, some imaginary and I'll let you ::points out at everyone:: decide the correct course of actions.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::grins:: But first, the lecture part, otherwise they won't validate my parking.

Cmdr_Horn says:
::quietly laughs::

FCO_MJDoole says:
::looks at chairs:: COM: Computer. I need a chair special replicated for my 9 and a 1/2 foot frame. These little chairs just won't cut it. ::watches as the computer complies and sits down in the large chair ::

Capt_VanSickle says:
::shakes head::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
As every CO will tell you...the safety of the ship and her crew are paramount.  But even then there is a chance that you may have to  sacrifice the lives of everyone on board...down to the last child... in the line of duty without ever knowing if there is a favorable outcome.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::waits for something 'noteworthy' tapping his stylus against the PADD::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks seriously at everyone for a moment and then breaks out into a grin:: But on the lighter side...you get the corner office with the view and get to sit in the comfy chair.  Not forgetting to mention the really cool coffee mug that says "Because I'm the Captain, that's why..." on it.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::starts to pace around the stage::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::laughs again::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
The every day life of a Captain is filled with paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork.  Every major decision needs to be funneled through the CO's office.  Most of the time the decisions have already been made by the XO and department heads, but the final yea or nay is always decreed by the Captain.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::fails to see the humor in the lecture::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
A good CO would not just rubber stamp everything but find the time to read each PADD that crosses their desk...which leads to another downside to command.  No personal life.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Very few CO's have what would be considered a 'normal' family life and the ones that do tend to find themselves weighing family against command. ::pauses and thinks for a moment:: You know...I just seemed to have painted a bleak picture about command, didn't I?  So why would anyone want it?  It's stressful, aggravating, exhausting...::smiles::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::smiles and enjoys listen to K'Beth describe their life::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
And the best damn feeling in the world.  When you sit in that center chair and you see your crew going about their jobs with efficiency and professionalism the feeling of pride and, yes even humility, at having the honor to command these individuals makes up for every frustrating moment there is.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Not only that...it's also the challenge ::her eyes start to twinkle:: The challenge to find the best possible solution.  To win a conflict and to supercede all expectations.  To be the best.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::stops and looks at everyone in the audience and then breaks out into another grin:: Plus...you never have to clean your own quarters...or do your own laundry.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::laughs loudly::

Capt_VanSickle says:
::raises hand::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::turns and smiles at Jeeves in the back::

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::sees no one else is laughing and grimaces .... so much for fitting in::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Any questions so far?  Yes Captain? ::points to Van Sickle

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: You mean a captain has maid and laundry service?  How come I haven't got that?

Cmdr_Horn says:
::laughs at that::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::chuckles::

FCO_MJDoole says:
Capt K'Beth: Is this a Command seminar or a Comedy Stop? ::gives Captain a big grin::

Capt_VanSickle says:
Horn: Don't I, AQilla?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::watches Van Sickle blandly::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: I think you must have missed that memo.

Cmdr_Horn says:
Capt:  I wouldn't know, Sir.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Horn: Yes you would.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::grins and leans over to whisper:: Horn: Man Captains can be so demanding can't they ::smiles broadly at hers::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::chuckles:: Capt:  Well, we might have to talk to OPS about that, won't we, Sir?

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks over at the FCO with a twinkle in her eye:: I've always found that a command officer without a sense of humor ends up in the counsellor's office on a regular basis.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::furrows his brow slightly wondering if that last bit was meant for him::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::chuckles:: Tarrez:  That they can be.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Besides, I like doing my own laundry.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::turns in his chair:: Horn/Tarrez/Van Sickle: Shhhh!

Capt_VanSickle says:
::hushes::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::goes to makes a face at the CSO when he turns back around, but is stop dead in her tracks as she sees K'Beth eyes on her::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles a bit:: Thank you Lt. ::looks around the room and smiles::  How about I put you in the drivers seat for a bit.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::leans back and hushes::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Scenario: You receive a distress call and respond.  A Romulan Warbird is firing on a transport ship carrying over a thousand colonists.  You do not have the fire power to overpower the Romulans but the transport ship still has power to maneuver away.  What do you do?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::raises his hand::

Capt_VanSickle says:
::raises hand::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::knows everyone will get this one::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points to the CSO:: Lt.?

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::just listens in, thinks: this is why I am not overly eager for command::

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::rises from his chair and straightens his uniform:: K’Beth: Captain, I believe in this type of situation I would call for reinforcements from the nearest Starbase. Then remind the Warbird they are attacking a civilian transport in federation space. While my FCO plotted an evasive course to place us between the two vessels and draw the Romulan fire

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::retakes his seat::

Capt_VanSickle says:
::disagrees::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points to Van Sickle:: Captain you have a different solution?

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: Yes, captain.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::gestures for him to share it:: Captain: Please.

Capt_VanSickle says:
All: I would first hail the Warbird and warn them of the civilian attack.  When that fails to dissuade them from attacking, I then order my CTO to disable weapons on the Warbird while trying to draw their fire...

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::listens intently to the Captain's alternate solution confident that the solution he presented is the most logical with the least chance for loss of life::

Capt_VanSickle says:
All: In the melee, we would allow the transport to get away as it best can while keeping the Warbird's attention.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::glances at Van Sickle, wondering what the 'alternate' part of his alternate solution is::

Capt_VanSickle says:
All: Basically, I would be willing to sacrifice my crew to save civilian lives if it gets that far.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
And what if the Romulans ignore you and continue to fire on the transport ship?

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: By that time, the Romulan weapons would be disabled, so they wouldn't continue firing.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::glances up at the ceiling of the hall, then turns to one of the PADDs on the chair next to him making a few notes::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::thinks the Captain is a bit overconfident::

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: However, if not, then I would order my FCO to position ourselves between the Romulans and the transport.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::raises his hand::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Both of these solutions are valid.  Hailing the Romulans first, disabling the weapons or trying to and then in the end flying your ship between yourself and the transport.  Those are decisions that each of us in this room may have to make one day.

FCO_MJDoole says:
What about a fly by and beam all transport personnel to the ship. That would take a window of 2.5 seconds to drop shields, do the beam out, and re-raise shields. Everyone would be safe and the Romulans could then be dealt with.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at the FCO: Lt, there are over a thousand colonists on board.  ::points to the CSO:: Yes Lt.?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::rises from his seat and straightens his uniform:: K’Beth: I would like it stipulated that the main difference between my plan ... and that of my colleague, Captain Van Sickle, is that I would request reinforcements where as he would not. ::retakes his seat::

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: May I respond to the lieutenant?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::under his breath:: Van Sickle: If you must...

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Yes I know, Lt.  Your plans are very similar. ::looks at the Captain:: Only if it pertains to the discussion, please.

Capt_VanSickle says:
CSO: Reinforcements take time.  By the time the reinforcements come from the nearest Starbase, the battle would be over.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::shakes her head and mutters::

FCO_MJDoole says:
::raises hand::

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::nods his head and sits back in his seat facing forward::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
:points to the FCO:: Yes Lt?

Cmdr_Horn says:
All:  In any case, the main goal would be to divert the Romulans attention from the transport to the Starship ... we would be more dangerous to the Romulans and therefore a more likely target for them.

FCO_MJDoole says:
My beam out solution would not be a problem of 1000 colonist, if they were beamed into the cargo bays, by rerouting power to the transporter buffer relays to accommodate a ship-wide beam out.

FCO_MJDoole says:
I know. I did something similar with the Luna a while back.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::thinks: ooo... Cargo transporters.... ick... aren't the best for that, but I suppose emergencies are emergencies...::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::looks at the FCO:  But wouldn't that have burnt out most of the transporter relays, re-routing that much power?

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::was thinking along similar lines::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::nods:: There's one other thing to mention about this solution.  Within 2.5 seconds, the Romulans can do a lot of damage to your ship if there are no shields.

Capt_VanSickle says:
That's why the best thing is to divert attention to let the transport get away on its own.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Here's another scenario.

Capt_VanSickle says:
::listens::

FCO_MJDoole says:
Cmdr_Horn: Actually, if you set the buffer relays to a modulation of 3.729 they relays will hold.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Scenario: You are ordered to escort a Romulan delegation and extend them full diplomatic courtesies, including dinner at the Captain's table.  Ten years ago the Romulans killed your family, including your children.  This is the first time you have had contact with any Romulan since. What do you do?

Capt_VanSickle says:
::raise hand::

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::raises hand::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points to Van Sickle:: Captain?

Capt_VanSickle says:
K'Beth: Publicly, swallow my pride and extend courtesies as ordered...

Capt_VanSickle says:
But privately, I would take one of those Romulans aside and air my personal grievances.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::puts hand down because she was going to say much the same thing::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::was thinking the same thing::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::nods:: Everyone else feel the same?

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::shakes head:: No.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Please elaborate.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::strongly shakes her head::

CIV_Llewellyn says:
All: I don't think it helps diplomacy to air your personal matters as much as one would like.

FCO_MJDoole says:
Agreed

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at Tarrez:: Cmdr, you have a differing opinion?

Capt_VanSickle says:
CIV: That's why I would only do it privately, one-on-one, but reiterate to them that my personal views will not hinder my judgment in this mission.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
Van Sickle: It does not matter. Say it to one of the Romulan delegation, you compromise the mission.

Cmdr_Horn says:
::raises her hand::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::chuckles and stands:: Will Captain as you know my mother was Romulan, but leaving that aside... this Romulan was not the Romulan that killed them.  That is why I disagree.

FCO_MJDoole says:
Van Sickle: Agreed. what's to stop the Romulan from talking to his superiors about it?

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::holds out her hands:: Please, one at a time.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points to Cmdr Horn:: Cmdr, you had a comment?

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::sits back down::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::stands:: K'Beth:  I did.  Wouldn't there be a conflict of interest in this situation?  If a CO had a personal history with the Romulans, why would Starfleet order them on this sort of mission?  Just asking.  ::sits back down::

Capt_VanSickle says:
::raises hand::

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::thinks: It happens... , shrugs::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles and glances quickly at Tarrez:: Because we don't get a choice in assignments.  there are many times where you will have a conflict of interest.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Remember the events prior to the first Khitomer Conference?

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::nods having a distinct understanding of that::

Cmdr_Horn says:
Van Sickle:  Yes, but Capt Kirk was ordered not to go to Khitomer because of his personal feelings for the Klingons ... if I remember my history properly

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::nods to Van Sickle to show that she has seen him and continues:: But it is true…that all personal feelings MUST be put aside.  As Cmdr Tarrez stated, this Romulan had no part of past events.  And as the CIV and the FCO pointed out...it might jeopardize the mission.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Horn: I'm not talking about Khitomer itself, but before then, when Kirk and Dr. McCoy were accused of assassinating Chancellor Gorkon during his trip to Earth.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Spock "volunteered" Kirk to escort Gorkon's party.

FCO_MJDoole says:
::raises hand::

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::thinks: yes, yes... only Nixon could go to china... yada yada.... ::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points to the FCO:: Lt.?

FCO_MJDoole says:
Yes. Spock did "volunteer" Kirk, but remember, Captain Kirk still had personal animosity towards the Klingons for the death of David, yet he still follows order for the escort.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
But the question is...not what Kirk did or Spock...but what would you do and I think we have answered that.

FCO_MJDoole says:
because he knew when to set aside his personal feelings for the good of Starfleet.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::nods in agreement with the FCO::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at her chronometer:: We have time for one more scenario.

FCO_MJDoole says:
I personally would have done the same as Kirk.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Scenario:  There is an immanent warp core breach.  The blast doors must be closed and the core ejected immediately but there are still 25 engineers that cannot be evacuated out of main engineering in time.  What do you do?

Capt_VanSickle says:
::defers this to his CEO::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::raises hand::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points to Horn:: Cmdr?

Cmdr_Horn says:
K'Beth:  Unfortunately, you have to sacrifice the 25 in order to save the ship.  You seal the doors and eject the core.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::doesn't want to be put in that situation, but knows what she'd do.... hopes others have a better solution::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
And that's it?  Is there anything you would try first?

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks around:: Anyone?

Cmdr_Horn says:
K'Beth:  Could you try to stabilize the core first.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Yes...but let's say the core won't stabilize.  What else can you try?

FCO_MJDoole says:
::raises hand::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::points at the FCO:: Lt.?

FCO_MJDoole says:
Try a intra-ship emergency transport.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::frowns, thinks: usually in that situation the transporters won't work, but I suppose they'd be worth a shot....::

Capt_VanSickle says:
Site-to-site?

FCO_MJDoole says:
You can beam from deck to deck.

Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO:  Wouldn't work.  The energy from the core would interrupt the beaming.  You couldn't get a lock.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Yes.    But what if  the ship's ::stresses the word ship:: transporters are off-line....what else can be tried?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::speaks up:: All: Shuttles.

Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO:  Maybe ... but you'd still have the problem of actually getting a lock.

Capt_VanSickle says:
Shuttle transporters?

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::wonders how the shuttles would get to Main Engineering, unless you were going to pick up the spaced bodies::

FCO_MJDoole says:
CO_Horn: Actually, I beg to differ.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Bingo!  :;points at the science officer::  As for the core energy....it may still be possible.  The warp core hadn't breached yet ...

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at the FCO:: You say that the transporters could still get a lock, Lt?

FCO_MJDoole says:
ALL: The shuttles transporters don't run through the warp core, so establishing a lock wouldn't be a problem.

FCO_MJDoole says:
The shuttles run independently of the ship.

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::raises an eyebrow, Thinks: Oh... maybe...::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
The point is, people...you must think out of the box.  If one thing doesn't work…try something else...and then again and again until every option…no matter how strange or unusual is exhausted.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
But keep in mind that in the end...you very well may be conducting 25 funerals for 25 souls lost.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at her chronometer::

Capt_VanSickle says:
Kobaiyashi Maru

Cmdr_Horn says:
::nods::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
This has been a very small taste of sitting in the 'big chair' and of course there are dozens of small things that aren't mentioned.  The fact that Captains must constantly update themselves on the newest technology.  That they must memorize and know about each person on their crew.  That often they must be father and mother to homesick ensigns.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
The job description for CO is simply written as command of a starship or station.  But that involves many if not everything.  But the biggest responsibility of any CO is to always portray someone who is respectful and courteous to even the lowest ranks. And above all, to understand that they are in command  not of positions and computers...

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
but of people and not everything goes by the book.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Any questions?

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::thinks the lecturer would more accurately say 'not mentioned till now'::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks around and then smiles:: Well thank you for attending.  You have provided some good insight and solutions.  Please, go to other seminars...we have some wonderful lecturers for this conference.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
Thank you and good night.

CSO_LtJG_Jarvel says:
::rises from his chair and stows his gear in a duffel before heading out the back of the lecture hall::

Capt_VanSickle says:
::exits hall::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::gets up::

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::uncrosses her legs and gets up:: K'Beth: Nice lecture.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::Stands and turns to the Cmdr and extends her hand::  Horn: It was good to see you again

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::gathers up her PADDs and grins to Sy.  Mouths the words 'Two more' and winks::

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::winks back at K'Beth::

Cmdr_Horn says:
Tarrez:  And you.  You look after yourself and your unborn child.

Cmdr_Tarrez says:
::nods:: I will thank you.

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
CIV: Thank you

CIV_Llewellyn says:
::exits the room::

Cmdr_Horn says:
::nods and turns to leave::

CO_West says:
::Looks at her PADD for the time of the next seminar on 'Command and makes a note to be there,  stepping quickly, she leaves the room::

Host Capt_K`Beth says:
::gathers up her PADDs and exits the room::
