Rome: No, I'm afraid not.. I don't have much time anyway, I am just waiting for a meeting with my sector commander...

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Capt: I know what you mean sir, I've only made it to one seminar myself. There's always something waiting for me back in Engineering.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles as he sees Ensign Andrews enter the Cafeteria and nods to her::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods and smiles to LtJG Rome as she makes her way to a replicator::

::nods to Captain Schols::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: So, have you been enjoying the conference?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::laughs:: Andrews: I thought I would get a chance to relax, or attend some seminars. So far I've been to a half seminar before Engineering called me away, and been working ever since.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::smiles sympathetically:: Rome: Falor's had that happen, too

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: He's a good kid, and seems like a good Engineer.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::smiles:: Rome: That he is.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Has he mentioned his starship designs yet?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: No. He's into design?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Yes, he has one that's he's turned into a holodeck program. The USS Tyro. We've done a few scenarios in it. He's the CO and I'm the XO.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: It's a really fantastic design.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Wow, that's ambitious of him.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I'd love to take a look at it someday.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: He's been working on the design for about a year. He calls it his baby ::laugh::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: You know us Engineers. My Engines are my life. I know how he feels.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I'm sure he'd love to show her off.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I imagine you do.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: What class of ship is yours, Lt.?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: New Orleans refit.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Ah, mines a Norway.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I know, and I'd really love to take a look at her.

Capt_McKnight says:
::walks in and goes to a replicator::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::salutes the Captain::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::finishes her sandwich and sips her tea::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods to Capt. McKnight::

Capt_McKnight says:

McKnight: Nice to meet you, Captain

Capt_McKnight says:
Andrews: Nice to meet you too. I'm hope I'm not intruding. It's been a long trip.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
McKnight: Not at all, please join us.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Capt: Oh not at all Captain! Please have a seat.

Capt_McKnight says:
Rome and Andrew: Thanks. ::John took a seat with the two::

Capt_McKnight says:
What kind of ships are the Cherokee and the Sharikahr?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
McKnight: She's a Norway, sir.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Capt: New Orleans refit, a reliable ship despite her age.

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods:: Andrews: I've seen several Norway classes and they're quite a beauty. Rome: One of my best friends Captains a New Orelans refit. But I think his ship is part of the SCE

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Capt: I've always wanted to join the SCE sir, perhaps one day.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
McKnight: The SCE?

Capt_McKnight says:
Rome: Yea, I think the SCE is great. My ship on the other hand is a Nova Class Variant. Andrews: Yea, the SCE is the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think they help any ships that need engineering help

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: SCE ships are actually filled with Engineers and Specialists.

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome/McKnight: Oh, interesting.

Capt_McKnight says:
::Remembers that Andrews said that he was a CNS:: Andrews: Oh, by the way. Do you know any good counselors who would be interested in serving aboard the Perseus?

Capt_McKnight says:
Andres: My last counselor left after our first mission

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room:: The last Command Seminar of the conference will begin in a few minutes in #Command.

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
The last Science Seminar will begin in a few minutes in #Science_Lab

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
Thank you. ::smiles and returns back to her desk::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
McKnight: I've only been assigned for a few weeks. I did meet one here. An Ens. Solaa, but I believe she's happy on the Apache

Capt_McKnight says:
Andrews: Oh. Thanks for the suggestion though

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: That would be Lieutenant Solaa. ::smiles::

Capt_McKnight says:
::hear's the admiral's message.:: Andrews/Rome: It was a pleasure to meet both of you and I hope I will bump into you again, but right now I have a lecture to attend

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Whoops ::smiles sheepishly. Must have missed that secon pip

Capt_McKnight says:
::smiles and starts to get up::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
McKnight: It was good to meet you, too

Capt_McKnight says:
::waves good bye to both of them and heads for the door::

Capt_McKnight says:
::leaves::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: She's a Lieutenant Jg. Not sure when she was promoted.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Ah, like I said must have missed the pip. ::smiles conspiratorially:: Don't tell her I called her an Ens.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::laughs::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I've certainly meet a lot of people. I surprised that's the first such mistake I've made

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::laughs:: Oh well, as long as I didn't call RADM Black an Ensign, I suppose I'm doing all right.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: No damage done I think. ::smiles::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I know a Cadet that called her superior Ma'am in a state of confusion. Her superior is a man.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::laughs::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Quite funny.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Was that on your ship?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: No, she's serving aboard another ship. She's a friend of the family and told me about it in a letter she sent me once.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Ah, I'm sure everyone got a good laugh out of that mistake.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Everyone but the superior officer. ::grins::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::grins:: Rome: Yeah, I'll bet he wasn't all that happy about it.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::grins at her::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::Notices the Commanders and nods to them both::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods to the Commanders entering::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Walks in, heads over to the replicator, orders a raktajino. :: Commisary Officer:  Hope this is better than yesterday.  :: Tales a sip, grimaces. ::  Commisaryy Officer:  Guess not.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::Walks in and takes a look around ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Notices Bolitho and stiffens a bit. ::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods to the Captain entering::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Capt: Captain. ::nods::

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods at the Ensign, spots the Captain and smiles::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::Sees the CNS and smiles as she makes her way to the replicator to order a very strong coffee::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Takes a seat at one of the tables and sits in silence, eyeing Bolitho, ::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::downs his lemonade and stands up:: Andrews: Can I get you anything? i'm going to get another drink.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Sure, Jasmine tea, hot

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Coming up.

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::notices the tension between the Captain and the LtCmdr, but keeps his peace::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::walks over to the Replicator:: Computer: One jasmine tea, hot and lemonade, chilled in a tall glass.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::takesd her coffee lets out a large sigh, looks at the FCO wondering if itsd the same FCO she thinks it is::

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Frowns and then smiles, walks over to A'an and introduces himself, again:: A'an: Commander A'an, right?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::notices the body language of the two officers and is intrigued::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::walks back to the table and hands Andrews her cup then sits down::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::takes her cup:: Rome: Thank you.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks up at the Commander, not recognizing him at first. ::  Varesh:  ....The Nighthawk, correct?  Durring the Nacandarian incident?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: You're welcome. ::takes a sip::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::walks up to Cmdr varesh and Aan:: Varesh/Aan: mind if I join you ::Smiles::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::whispers:: Andrews: What do you think that's all about? ::nods his head slowly in the FCO's direction::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::sips her tea, subtly studying the Captain and the Lt. Cmdr.::

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: A'an: Indeed. ::nods at Lira-Bolitho:: Capt: I don't mind if you did.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Turns and eyes Bolitho, cooly. ::  Bolitho:  Depends...is your husband about?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::whispers:: No idea

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
:: Laughs:: Aan: not at all ... hes baby sirtting

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Shrugs, :: Bolitho:  Well then, As long as your not armed, feel free.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::overhears the comment about someone being armed and shrugs::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: Did I ever aplogise for that ?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::is really intrigued by that comment::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Sits and takes another sip of raktajino, grimaces. ::  All:  Is this stuff worse than yesterdays?  I didnt think that was possible.

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sips the fruit juice he got earlier:: A'an: That stuff will kill you.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Aan: Commander, might I suggest a Raktajino with a bit of Café latté. 

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Shrugs again. ::  Bolitho:  I've been shot before...

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: hey no grudges huh ...

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Rome: Does it make the coffee stronger ow eaker

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks over at Rome. :: Rome:  At this point, I'll try anything

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
<weaker>

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Capt/LtCmdr: A Bit weaker, just program the replicator to add some warm cream.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks Bolitho dead in the eye. ::  Bolitho:  Not about that, no......the Tempest on the other hand.....

Cmdr_Varesh says:
A'an: Did you see any of my crew here? I only got into town today.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Shakes his head. ::  Varesh:  No, but then, I just got here.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::Smiles sheepishly over her coffee::Aan: hey orders are orders ::looks at varesh:; Varesh: have we met some where ?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::walks over to the Replicator and orders a Raktajino with some warm cream::

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::thinks a moment:: Capt: I don't think so. I'm Varesh, Counselor on the Nighthawk. I used to be on the Huron and served on the Scimitar as well.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
::  A little angry. ::  Bolitho: Thats a little flippant, dont you think, considering the damage he did?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::takes the drink and walks over to Commander Aan and puts the cup on the table, then smiles:: Aan: Try this sir.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::hears the the Cmdt say he's a CNS and smiles::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Notices the CO enter, rises a bit and nods at him. ::  Darklighter:  Commander...

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::enters the cafe and has a look around::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: Look Commander I am not going to question the orders we were given or what he did..... as I will not condone anything he did either... besides I hate being stuck in the middle

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods at the arriving Commander::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: takes the coffe/raktajino mix and nods. ::  Rome:  Thanks...

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
:;turns as she see soemone enter and raises her eye brows:; Darklighter: good greif mr darklighter

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles then returns to his seat and thinks about what he overhead while at that table::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
FCO: Commander A'an ::returns the nod::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
::  SIts back down. ::  Bolitho:  .....We still dont know who killed Delindt.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Lira_Bolitho: Evening captain ::nods to her::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::looks at Andrews:: Andrews: Seems like they got into a fight.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: Well i can safely and honestly tell you it was not the admiral

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Really?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Something about ships firing. I'm not sure.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: We better not think too much about it.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::moves to the bar and orders a coffee::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Hmm, interesting.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. ::  Bolitho: Of course not, he wouldnt do it himself.  He didnt murder the Tempest, he had us to if for him.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::looks at Darklighter amused:: Darklighter: well I never thought I would see the day when you would succome to being all official on me

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
<to = do>

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: You're right, Lt. It's really none of our business.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods at her::

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the mention of murder::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: Commander what has happened has happened, SFI has been informed and has dealt with the situation and it has been done and delt with.... as for the murder of your CNS then maybe its best you look around your own ship for the culprit as it was not my husband .. as for the tempest .. we were under orders

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::tries not to listen to the raised voices, intriguing as the situation is::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::feels a bit nervous:: Andrews: So, how did that Cadet situation go with Falor ?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::hears the word "SFI" and moves over towards A'an and Tam:: Lira_Bolitho: I don't know what you mean ma'am ::innocent look::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
Bolitho: We were under orders to stop the Tempest, and we did.  But that wasnt good enough for him.  He used us to extract revenge.  They were helpless and he slaughtered them.  To make matters worse, we were left in the dark about the Tempest and they're organization.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Leans towards Bolitho a bit. ::  Bolitho: Or was that the idea all along?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Fine, I suppose. He would have said something to me otherwise.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::clears his troat alittle, standing beside A'an:: FCO: My i join you?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles at her:: Andrews. Okay.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Turns and nods at the XO, ::  Darklighter:  Huh?  Oh, yes sir.  Sorry.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
Darklighte:  I was a little....distracted.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::nods at A'an and pulls up a chair, he sits and blows on his coffee::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::smiles:: Rome: So what happened to your engines, that kept you working all this time?

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
::Takes a sip of the coffee mix, nods a bit and looks over at Rome, ::  Rome:  Not bad...

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::grins at the FCO:: FCO: I told you.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
FCO: Uhm, sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Shakes his head a bit and looks at Bolitho with a matter of fact expression on his face. ::  Bolitho:  Captain, it comes down to this

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
:;raises her eyebrow::Aan: No it was not revenge .... it was the only waty to stop them .. Im sorry your ship was involved .. you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.. I cannot tell you any more its all confidentail but ours orders came direct from SFI . my husband was suitably reprimanded for it.,

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
Bolitho:  I dont like being used to do someone elses dirty work.

Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up:: All: I'm sorry, I have other things to attend to. Perhaps we'll meet again later. ::takes his leave::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Darklighter: Good to see you Commander and congratualtions on your promotion

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Well, seems like a computer glitch totally trashed the intermix ratio formulas. We had to do a complete start up routine and new calculations.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods at Varesh, then looks over at Rome. ::  ROme: Yes?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::looks at Tam abit confused:: Lira_Bolitho: Oh sorry, i forgot, i was Lt_cmdr last time we spoke.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Then we had to run tests again and again. ::smiles::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
FCO: Nothing sir, sorry.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Oh that's awful, you have to love computers.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Now I'm trying to figure out what happened. Yeah.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::Smiles:: XO: so how have you been

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
<xo=Darklighter>

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::sips his coffee:: Lira_Bolitho: Same old me, yourself?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: We haven't hd anything like that happen on the Sharikahr since I've benn there. I'm sure we're do any time.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
Yah

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Darklighter: Same here althoguh they gave me a command, what got into them I have no idea ::Smiles::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Well I won't rest easily until I find the cause. If the intermix ratio goes out of alignment while in warp...boom. ::smiles:: I wouldn't want that.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Lira_Bolitho: Who's the lucky ship?

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: you were not and I would have never allowed it.. as I said I cannot tell you anything more .. it was not a nice mission Commander and I hope I never have a mission like that repeated in my life time

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Darklighter: Scimitar

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::smiles:: Rome: No you wouldn't. I'd hate to have to read about that in the reports

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::smiles abit at Tam and turns to A'an:: A'an: Tempest?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Thank you. ::smiles::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods, taking another sip from his coffee. ::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::sips his coffee::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::leans back slightly and sips at her coffee looking at the others gathered::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: But these things have backup systems, so it's highly unlikely that something like that would happen. But they also said finding a stable wormhole was impossible. ::grins::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
Bolitho:  I'm surprised you didnt request the Seleya, considering they offered you another command.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::grins:: Rome: True enough.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Aan: why would I request the Seleya commander .. I have my memories of her and the crew the loss and the good times.. and Im sure you would not want me back

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Lira_Bolitho: We want you back, we haven't lost a warp core in over a year ::grins::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::Starts to laugh:: Darklighter: yeah I lost a few andf got some back ::Smiles:: And thanks But times move on Commander as Im sure you know.. you never know you may get to command her one day.. besides wouldn't look good for the XO and CO being drunk together ::grins::

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
: realizes the rest of the room has been listening. :: All:  We were all shipmates a while back...

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods to the FCO::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Lira_Bolitho: Us? Drunk together? Captain you must be mistaken ::innocent look::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::looks as Aan speaks:: All: Aplogies if we got a little loud

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Captain: It's all right sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Mutters to himself. :: Self:  ........too many damn secrets.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Bolitho: It's not a problem Captain

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Darklighter: Lets just say the missing box of romulan ale turned up and I think your get the meaning ::Smiles at Rome:; Rome/Andrews: so what ships are you on ?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
A'an: We all have secrets, it's apart of life, you just got to roll with it sometimes. ::sips his coffee::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Captain: I'm CEO of the Cherokee.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Bolitho: I'm the CNS on the Sharikahr

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Takes a swig of coffee. ::  All:  We could use a good engineer.....

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Andrews: Best position CEO of any ship

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Self: Give me tactical any day.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods at Darklighter and raises his glass, :; Darklighter:  Here, here....

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
All: I couldn't be taken from Engineering even though they offered me the Enterprise. ::grins::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::looks at darklighter goes to say something stops and just smiles::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Bolitho: I enjoy my position very much, Captain

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
ROME: the only thing that took me from Engineering was promotion ... but i still get to sit in the JT's sometimes

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::finishes his coffee:: All: Well if you'll excuse me, i must be off. ::stands and pats A'an on the shoulder:: A'an: I'll see you back on the Seleya.

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. ::  Darklighter:  Yes sir.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods to Commander Darklighter::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
All: same here Im afraid.. I need to be off .. but was great meeting you all

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Captain: Nice to meet you Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::nods to all:: Lira_Bolitho: I hope next time we meet we'll have more time to catch up.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Bolitho: It was nice to meet you.

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
Darklighter: Indeed commander .. it will be good to catch up over a few drinks ::Smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::smiles abit, turns and leaves the cafeteria::

Capt_Lira_Bolitho says:
::goes to leave the cafeteria::A All; i bid you a goodnight and save journeies

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
::Finishes his coffee, and stands up. ::  All: Well gentlemen, I hate to drink and run, but duty calles.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods to the FCO::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods to LtCmdr Aan

FCO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods at the remaining personel, then heads out the door. ::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::quietly:: Rome:That was some drama, wasn't it? 

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods at her:: Andrews: Always a bit disturbing seeing superior officers like that.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Yes it is.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Of, curse the whole thing triggered every counseling part of my brain.::grins::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Well, the whole time I was trying to think about something else really. ::laughs::

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room:: The Engineering Seminar was delayed momentarily due to technical difficulties.  It is now beginning in #Engineering

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
Thank you ::exits back to her office::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: So was i, but as a Counselor it was hard to ignore.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Want to join me at the Engineering seminar ?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::grin:: Andrews: I bet it was.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Sure I might as well see what Falor, enjoys.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles and stands up:: Andrews: Great.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::exits the room for the seminar::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::stands up as well and follows him::

Capt_McKnight says:
::enters the room and heads to a far corner::

Capt_McKnight says:
::thinks about the lecture that K`Beth gave::

Capt_McKnight says:
::gets up and decides to head to another lecture::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::enters the Cafeteria and saves the notes he just got on his PADD::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::enters just behin Lt. Rome::

Capt_McKnight says:
::enters and moves to a remote table, reviewing over all the notes he gathered::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: More tea?

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room:: The last OPS Lecture is already beginning in #OPS_Lecture.  And the last seminar of the conference, the Special OPS Seminar will begin in an hour in #Special_OPS.  Thank you. ::exits back to her desk::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Actually, I'd like a lemonade, please

Capt_McKnight says:
::gets up and decide to check out the OPS lecutre.::

Capt_McKnight says:
::leaves the cafeteria::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Yours looked so good earlier.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles and walks to the Replicator:: Computer: Two tall glasses of lemonade, chilled.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: It's my favourite.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I usually go for tea or coffee.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::returns with two glasses:: Andrews: I'm a fan of both tea and coffee, but this is my favourite chilled drink.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::hands her one as he sits down::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::sips her lemonade:: Rome: Yum.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: So what do you think of Lieutenant Kell's seminar?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Now, what was that he said again about doubling phaser power. I'm not an engineer, but it didn't seem very safe.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::shakes his head:: Andrews: There are too many unknown variables, like what the enemy ship would do. It is known that an enemy can cause a feed-back in your phaser array...and having it tied into a fusion reactor...

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I didn't think it seemed feasible except when there's no other choice.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I did like his ideas about how to use the tractor beam, though

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Yes, this method of his is good. But only as a last result really.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Yes that's an excellent idea, and has been used many times. Not taught in the Academy, it's something you learn by fiddling with teachnology.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Ah

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
I also wonder if our CTO has though of the trick with the torpedoes

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: At one point I used a portable tractor emitter and made it into what I call a "push beam" for a lack of a better word. ::laughs:: And used it to open a 'hole' in a gateway, similar to the Iconian Gateway if you know what that is. Allowing us to establish communication with the other side without going through.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
<thought>

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods:: Andrews: I'll have to tell my CTO about that too.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Wow, that is very inventive

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Well it was that or going through, which was an option we did not want to take. Well we actually did go through later on.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Really, where did you end up?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: And were stuck there until we figured out a way to get back. 

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: You'll never believe it. ::grins::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::grins:: Rome: Where?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: We were in orbit around a planet in the Gamma Quadrant and something kept us stuck there, no systems worked. So we went down to investigate and found the source, a gate.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::takes a sip of his drink;;

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: So a member of the Away Team got pulled in, and never appeared on the other side. So we knew it was somekind of a portal. 

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Ah, you said you went through the gate. Where did it take you?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::grins:: Andrews: i'm getting to that.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: After being pulled in ourselves we were greeted by robots which seemed to live there. And we were on a totally different planet.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::looks fascinated::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: It took us over a week to find our missing crewman, and when we did we met the 'leader' of the robots. As we told them who we were and we were from Earth, they mentioned...V'Ger.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::grins::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::amazed:: Rome: You're kidding? 

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::beams:: Andrews: Nope.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::open mouthed:: Rome: Wow!

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: They were that robotic race that upgraded V'Ger.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::enthraled at the thought:: Rome: How fascinating

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: But they hadn't evolved much since then, they were years behind us in technology really.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: It was an Engineer's dream really.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I got to study their inner workings.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I imagine so.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::impressed:: Rome: That must have been something.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: But we'll probably never hear from them again as since they helped us destroy the gateway. They didn't know about it either and didn't want anyone else to come through.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: The highlight of my career really.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I'm sure

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: So we have no idea where their homeplanet really is.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Yeah, Iconian gateways can go just about anywhere as I remember.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Well this one wasn't Iconian. We have no idea who built it or when. It reflected most of our scans.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Hmm, It would have been intersting to know which other race had technology like that.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I know, but we had no other choice. We had to respect their wishes to destroy it. Would we not destroy a gate that lead to Earth? Or vulcan?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: True

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::nods:: Andrews: But I would have been happy to study it further, but what information we got has already been sent to Starfleet Command. 

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: What an adventure, though.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles at her:: Andrews: Aye.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: So after the gate was destroyed, power was restored to our ship and we got back to DS9, after being stuck there for weeks.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: We barely had enough anti-matter reserves left since the gate just drew all our power.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Sounds like you had quite the time of it.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: It was fun. ::laughs:: What about you, any exciting missions?

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: My first on the Sharikahr was very exciting.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I came in the middle of a mission to investigate some rifts that were forming.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Rifts?

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
::checks in and waves to Rome and Andrews::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::notices Polo and waves back::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Subspace rifts

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: That's never good.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::waves to Polo::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
::makes a gesture indicating the bar and then his mouth, like is asking if anybody needs something to drink::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::lifts up his full glass::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: No it wasn't

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::indicates that she's fine::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
::nods, goes to the replicator and gets an hurricane, then goes close the to table:: Rome/Andrews: Mind if I join you?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Polo: You don't have to ask, please do.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: I don't mind

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Rome::thanks. ::sits and sips his strong cocktail::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: We encountered a race called the Nezi. They were invisible to sensors and the naked eye.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::takes a sip of his drink and listens::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: They were incredibly meglomaniacal and warlike. They demanded we help them find a lost gem that would make them whole. We didn't understand at first, but they made it clear later ::shudder:: 

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room:: The last seminar of the conference will begin a few minutes in #Special_OPS.  Thank you ::exits back to her office::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Rome/Andrews: I f you did not go before I would advice you to meet Commander Mrlr, she is a shipmate of mine and very good.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: One of them gutted a Security Officer and used his organs to make a body.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::shudders at the thought::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Polo: I have attended too many seminars today. ::grins::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Rome: oh then relax please.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles at Andrews, meaning he had only been to one seminar::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Another used stem cells to do the same, but we trapped them in the brig. Later, another member of their race appeared and took them away through the rift.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: I've been to quite a few myself. Thanks for the advice though

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Andrews: No problem Millicent. Now I have to leave as I have a party to organize! ::smiles::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: Party?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Polo: Have fun. ::smiles::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Andrews: Yes for the return to duty of my captain and other members of the crew. I better start organizing now as my captain is a klingon and finding good blood wine ain't easy. 

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: That's good to hear about your Captain.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Polo: Try vintage 2309.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: You drink blood wine, too?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I have on occasion.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I enjoy it myself

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
all: I think I could drink even plasma coolant if necessary.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles:: Andrews: I'll have to get you some next year. The real stuff.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: Sounds like a plan.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
<Capt_Ayidee>*Rome*: Chief, I was wondering if you could come and see me for a moment?

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::taps his commbadge:: *Capt*: Aye sir, I'm on my way.

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
All: well people I gotta go now, if you are around McKinley station when the party is given give me a call.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: I don't think so, but thanks for the offer.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::stands up:: Polo: I will, and stay in touch.

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Andrews: With your permission Ma'am.::stands up from his chair.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: Millicent, thank you for a great time. But the Captain needs me before we leave for our next assingment.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::nods:: Polo: Go ahead, but please don't Ma'am me, I'm 32 not 320

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I hope I'll see you next year. ::smiles::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Andrews: Just etiquette Millicent.::smiles::

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Andrews: I hope so too, and please tell Falor I said hi. And I'll drop you two a line one day.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::shakes Polo's hand:: Polo: It was nice meeting you Riccardo.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: Nice to know chivalry isn't dead ::laughs::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Rome: I look forward to it and I'll tell him

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
Jonathan: nice meeting you too Jonathan, lets keep in touch.

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
Polo: Let's ::smiles::

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
All::well may both of you go where nowhere has gone before. Ciao.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Polo: Bye

LtJG_Jonathan_Rome says:
::smiles at them both, then turns around and heads for the exit:: All: Bye!

Ensign_Rico_Polo says:
::goes to the exit, turns again waves goodbye and leaves::

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
Self: Well, I think I'll check on Logan. ::gets up and leaves::

CO_Capt_Regnum says:
::pulls up a chair and takes a seat at a nearby table::

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room:: The conference is officially over, but please feel free to enjoy the hospitality of the Cafeteria until this evening.  Thank you for attending and enjoy yourself. ::smiles and exits back to her office::

Capt_McKnight says:
::enters the cafeteria for a few seconds::

Doctor_Lea says:
::Waves::

Capt_McKnight says:
::Sees Dr. Lea once again and waves back::

Capt_McKnight says:
:: Seeing that his crew is no longer in the cafeteria, he heads for his ship. Hopefully they didn't leave him already::

Capt_McKnight says:
::leaves the cafeteria::

Capt_Durron says:
::slips into the cafeteria and pulls up a chair::

CO_Capt_Regnum says:
::takes a seat and has a synthale::

CO_Capt_Regnum says:
::nods to Captain Durron:: Durron: Hello Captain

Capt_Durron says:
::Returns the other captan's nod and moves to a chair near him:: Regnum: Captain.

Capt_Durron says:
(test?)

Cmdr_Lane says:
:: walks in and looks around ::

Cmdr_Lane says:
:; sighs :: Oh well

Capt_Durron says:
::nods to the Commander:: Lane: Commander.

CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
