SUMMARY: The following is the transcript of the Third Annual In Character Conference Cafeteria that was open from 1300 hours to 2000 hours Pacific time Stardate 10406.25.  It is unedited in content, only in format for better clarity in reading.

Admiral_Kelley is away: In her office going over cadet reviews....

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: steps silently into the cafeteria, and sits off in a corner reviewing his notes...::

Captain_K`Beth says:
::steps in, looks around and see Captain Woo.  Smiles and waves as she heads back out the door::  Good luck with your seminar Captain.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: looks up from his seminar notes, and he stands as an admiral enters the room:: Admiral: Ma'am. ::bows his head slightly::

Admiral_Soki says:
::enters the cafeteria and looks around:: CO: Hello Captain.

Admiral_Soki says:
::nods to Captain Woo then heads to a table::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: walks in hurridly...carrying several chips in his hand as he looks around nervously. ::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the water pitcher and takes a long drink....trying to calm his nerves..back to the door. ::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
::looks up, amused, as he sees a man, looking about, as if slightly distressed::

Admiral_Soki says:
::sits down at her table after ordering a cup of coffee from the waiter::

XO_Worthington says:
::looks around the room, seeing a very nervouse CTO; he can't help but to smile::

CMO_Kimura says:
::walks confidently into the cafeteria and to the bar:: Barkeep: I'll have an Icoberry Juice, please.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: puts the isolinear chips in his hand down and looks at his PADD...reviewing notes and mumbling to himself as he tries to calm down. ::

CMO_Kimura says:
::takes the drink and looks around::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
Self: oh sure Admiral Alexander, I'd love to run a seminar...several Captains and Admirals are going to be there....no problem.  Sheesh..what was I thinking.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
::calls down the table to where the LtJG is:: Hazzard: Lieutenant! I take it you're delivering a seminar tonight? ::smiles:: If you will put down your notes and just relax for five minutes, you will feel much better.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: jumps almost a full meter at the Captain's words...turning around rather sheepishly and jumpling the chips he had just been sorting. :: CO_Woo: SIR?!?...oh...yes, sir.

XO_Worthington says:
::makes his way over to the CTO and CO:: Woo/Hazzard: I have to say I agree with the Captain here, Mr. Hazzard. No reason to get so uptight, I am sure you will do fine.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Talks to the waiter:  I'll take a ice cold sweet tea please.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: looks to the familiar face and smiles. :: XO: If you say so sir.  Though I feel like the fox that just got caught in the farmer's chicken coup...

Admiral_Soki says:
::watches the Ltjg buzz around the room like a bee:: Hazzard: We don't bit Lieutenant.  Just give it as if you were talking to your best friends. ::smiles::

CMO_Kimura says:
::looks to the man sitting across from her:: Hazzard: Public speaking not your thing, huh?

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: thinks for several seconds at the lieutenant's metaphor...:: Hazzard: Ah... yes, of course, lieutenant. Your seminar appears to be quite interesting. I am very much interested in knowing just when it is appropriate to say no to a captain. ::winks, and grins::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: nods thankfully to the Admiral's words and takes a sip of water from the cup he sat down. ::  CMO: I am more of a shoot first, ask questions when the dust settles kind of person.

XO_Worthington says:
::whispers to Hazzard:: Hazzard: Be careful, I think they are lulling you into a false sense of security, they probably do bite.

CMO_Kimura says:
::laughs:: Hazzard: Ah. I see. Well, talk as if you are... well, telling your staff what to do.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
: looks to the Captain and pales. :: CO_Woo: Oh...that ummm..wasn't supposed to be on the seminar title. :: mumbles to himself :: Self: I am gonna get Scotty for that little prank!

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::takes the drink from the waiter and sits back for a relaxing time::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
: sighs and takes a breath..whispering to the XO :: XO: Can't I just go back to fighting Romulans and Cardassians...they don't frighten me half as bad as a room full of pips like this.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: laughs :: Hazzard: Of course not, lieutenant. ::smiles, and walks over to the bar, and orders a glass of sherry::

Admiral_Soki says:
::looks at the lady sitting at the next table::

Admiral_Soki says:
Rushing: You are the Captain of Avalon Station, right?

XO_Worthington says:
::returns the whisper:: Hazzard: All in due time, Mr. Hazzard.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Yes, I've been with her for a long time.

CMO_Kimura says:
Hazzard: I wouldn't worry too much about it. Think of it as... well, they're not on your ship, so they don't directly affect you.

CMO_Kimura says:
::sips her juice::

Admiral_Soki says:
Admiral: You have one of my problem children on your staff now. ::grins::

Admiral_Soki says:
<Rushing>

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: smiles and takes another breath..collecting his gear and standing up :: ALL: Well I have to set up the seminar hall for the first lecture....hope you all can make it.  :: nods to the XO in thanks for his words and walks out of the Cafeteria. ::

Admiral_Soki says:
Rushing: Your CEO, Mr. Rydyll, was in my Engineering class at the Academy.  Always had an argument for everything.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Soki:  You haven't been there too long.

XO_Worthington says:
::exits the room, heading to the seminar::

Ens_Kimura says:
might as well

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
:: wonders into the lounds peering around the room with a wonder ::

Captain_K`Beth says:
::looks into the room but doesn't see the officer she is looking for. Steps back out::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
:: after a quick gaze slides out and heads to the first Seminar ::

Admiral_Soki says:
Rushing: I'm not at the Academy at all now.  I've been transferred to Tenarus Alpha.

Ens_Kimura says:
Self: Oh! I'm late! ::leaves the glass and runs out::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Admiral or another character?

Admiral_Soki says:
Ilianor: Good afternoon Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: he turns, a little startled :: Admiral: Oh! Admiral! Good afternoon, ma'am.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: he smiles weakly, and scurries towards the bar ::

Admiral_Soki says:
::grins as the Lt. scampers away::  Self: Next time I wear my "I don't bite" T-shirt and running shorts. ::grins and drinks her coffee::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::notices that it seems rather quiet in here at the moment::

VADM_Sheridan says:
:;gets herself a drink and finds a seat by the viewport::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::downs the drink and heads out::

Admiral_Soki says:
::takes another sip of her coffee::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
Soki:  Greetings admiral

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::strolls in, humming a tune::

Admiral_Soki says:
Kell: Hello Ensign.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: looks up from his seat and his padds :: CNS: Ryn! Glad you could make it.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
Soki: I trust everything is well, no unforeseen problems

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
FCO: Baran! Yeah, I'm waiting for my seminar... although I don't think it'll be much use to me... ::takes a seat at Baran's table::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: finds a table with a few seats and plops down...sighing in relief. ::

XO_Worthington says:
::follows Hazzard into the Cafteteria:: Hazzard: So, how would you have handled the last situation?

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
FCO: Me being a NON-telepath... ::shrugs::

Admiral_Soki says:
Kell: Everything seems to be going smoothly thus far.

Admiral_Soki says:
Hazzard: Get yourself a drink man!  They put you through it in there. ::smiles::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
XO: There is no way I would let my Captain go into that situation....just to many risks....even with the casualites...I would try to rescue the hostages.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
Soki:  Should any arise, I am at your servcie  :: smiles ::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: smiles sheepishly and nods to the Admiral...moving to the replicator and getting two scotches...neat, then bringing them back to their table. ::

XO_Worthington says:
Hazzard: What if you were Captain, what would you do then?

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
XO: If I were the Captain......I wouldn't want to risk the lives of more hostages.....man...that is a rough situation...

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: laughs :: CNS: What seminar are you waiting for?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: excuses himself and walks over to a table.  Sitting in a chair with his back to the wall ::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
FCO: "The Ethics of Telepathy in Counseling" or something like that...

Admiral_Soki says:
Kell: Thank you Ensign. ::nods::

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: looks around the corner :: CNS: Oh! Oh! I think I see the speaker going into the seminar room for that lecture... shall we go take a look?

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
FCO: Yeah!

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: takes a long pull from his drink and smiles :: XO: But I have a long way to go before I have to worry about being a  Captain....right now...I think I'll settle for XO.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::gets up:: FCO: You can fill me in about telepathy. ::smiles::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::sees the CTO:: CTO: Hi, Lieutenant! ::waves as she passes him::

XO_Worthington says:
Hazzard: Oh, you think being the XO is easy? You just wait, Captain's have it easy. XO's do all the work.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: looks up :: CTO: Well, well... good afternoon, lieutenant. :: grin s::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS: Hello, where are you headed?

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Grey-feather: To the Counseling seminar. ::smiles:: You?

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
XO: And here I thought thats what having a CTO was for....

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hey the both of seem to have some place to be :: smiles ::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
XO: I was glad you and the Captain could be here....thanks...

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS Solaa: Looking for an old friend of mine he will be giving seminar later

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Grey-feather: Oh? Who?

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Grey-feather: Or rather... which seminar?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS Solaa: He is the CTO of the Delphyne.  You can't miss him.  Not alot of 7 foot Klingons in starfleet uniforms running around :: grins ::

XO_Worthington says:
Hazzard: No problem, we wanted to make sure you felt right at home.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::laughs:: Grey-feather: Probably not.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles:: XO: Yes...the yelling and the screaming definately made me much more comfortable.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS Solaa: Enjoy your seminar.  And if you do see a giant Klingon named K`Vas tell him I was looking for him

XO_Worthington says:
Hazzard: If you can't handle it, I am sure we could get you a transfer, maybe you could be on a deep space science ship. Guarding all the plankton samples would be less nerve racking.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
XO: Speakin of Yelling and Screaming....if you see Commander Nash before I do...tell him to find a good place to hide...that stunt with my 12th birthday party was hilarious...

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Greyfeather: I don't think our speaker is here yet, that's the problem... if you aren't going anywhere, you want to sit down with us? ::looks to Baran::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS Solaa: Sure.  If Baran doesn't mind.  I mean don't want to intrude on your conversation

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: smiles and scootches over :: CNS/CTO: I was going over the conference schedule... and I am particularly looking forward to the evolutionary exobiology seminar! ::grins a little too broadly::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Grey-feather: Please! Join us! ::sits back down and ushers the CTO a seat::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
FCO/CTO: I'm looking forward to that seminar also. I wonder what he's going to talk about?

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles again. :: XO:  Can't believe they had me start this conference....I mean...there are Captains and Admirals with much more knowledge then I have...

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: takes a seat :: FCO: Evolutionary exo...what?  You have some complex interests my friend

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Hazzard:  You did well.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::laughs:: CTO: Exobiology. The study of different species.

XO_Worthington says:
Hazzard: I must say I was baffled as well. I'll let Mr. Nash know of his impending doom.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
CNS/CTO: I think the presenter's just going to discuss different species, from an evolutionary perspective... :: grumbles :: I shouldn't be spending so much time at this conference, I have so much work to doooo..... :: checks his chronometre::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: turns and smiles at the Captain. :: CO_Rushing: Thank you, sir.  Care to join us?

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
FCO: Oh, stop working for once, Baran. What could you POSSIBLY be working on?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS Solaa: Science was never my best subject that was always my brother Jame's field of study  :: looks distant for a second :: Ah but you and Baran seem ready for it

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
XO: Oh doom is to leniant....I still have people in the Science Department that owe me favors....Just you wait....Scotty has got his coming.

XO_Worthington says:
Hazzard: In any event, I am going to have to depart now. Good luck with the rest of your seminars.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
CNS: LOTS of stuff. :: grins :: Work schedules, lesson plans... that sort of thing... :: whines ::

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
:: Approaches CTO:: Hello Lieutenant, i'm Ensign Fielding, CTO on the USS- Talwar

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::laughs::

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CTO: My apoligies for interupting.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Grey-feather: Well, what are  YOU interested in, hm?

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CTO: Your conversation appeared interesting

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: stands up and offers his hand to the XO: XO: Thank you sir....Hope to see you at one of my other seminars..your presence is definately welcome there.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CTO Fielding: You are not interupting ensign, please  have a seat

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CTO: Lieutenant?

XO_Worthington says:
::shakes the Lieutenant's hand:: Hazzard: My pleasure. I'll see if I can crash another for you.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS Solaa:  Weapons, tactics, and tribal medicine ::the last said sort of shyly::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Fielding: Sure! The more the merrier! I'm LtJG Solaa. Nice to meet you! ::stands up and offers hand::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Well, since the counseling seminar is a bust and my four kids are hounding me to get off the computer,  I've been on most of the day doing ACTD stufff.  I'll try to be back at 8 E.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: grins :: XO: You do that sir...and bring more crayons.

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
:: looks up at the ensign :: Greyfeather: I believe this ensign here has something to say to you? ::grins::

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CTO: Oh sorry sir, i'm in a daze, the CMO has me on Imaprovoline

FCO_Lt_Ilianor says:
<Disregard :(>

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: stands up and takes the CTO's hand :: Fielding: I am Lieutenant Grey-feather, sorry didn't mean to appear rude.

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CTO: Not at all sir, didn't even notice, i'm dazed with this drug. :: giggles :: ::sits down and nods at others at table ::

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CTO: So, what do you see as the most interesting part of tactical operation sir?

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: takes another drink from his glass and walks over to the others gathered. :: All: You guys mind if I sit a spell?

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
<CMO> *TO*: Ensing Fielding, please report to sickbay on our vessel, you require scheduled examination

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
TO: *<CMO>*: Damb, sorry doctor I forgot, i'm on route.

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
all: My apoligies, I must leave. I look forward to meeting you again.

CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
:: heads for door ::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
Fielding: Looks like we have to dicuss this later ensign

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Fielding: Bye!

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: watches the ensign head out and turns back to the others gathered around the table. ::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Walks into the Cafeteria and takes a look around. After a moment she walks to a table and takes a seat::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Hazzard: Hi! You're the one who did the Away Team seminar, right?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS/FCO:  I hate to leave good company but I going to try and find that friend of mine.  I want to meet his new wife.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
CTO: Oh, okay! Hope to see you around, then!

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
Solaa: That would be me.  Guess the Admirals thought I would make a good sacrafice to the early attendees.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: grins and takes a seat next to the CNS. ::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
CNS: You will, enjoy the seminar.  Tell Baran to enjoy if you can peel him loose from his work :: smiles and turns to leave ::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Hazzard: Nah, you did great!

Admiral_Soki says:
::hears Hazzard and grins::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: blushes a little and gives an "aw shucks" grin. :: Solaa: Thanks.  I appreciate that.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: walking out the door.  Notice a Cardassian in a Starfleet uniform ::  Self : Going to be a very strange conference  :: exits::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Hazzard: Hi, I'm Ryn Solaa. ::extends hand:: Counselor on the USS Apache.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: shrugs and sits back, finally relaxing a little. :: CNS: I'm thinking I will catch that command seminar...Captain K'Beth's...sounds interesting to say the least...how about you?

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She looks down at her drink when it is brought to her and thanks the waiter. She then sips it::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Hazzard: Well, I WAS going to the Counseling seminar, despite its irrelevency to me... and then I'm off to the Exobiology seminar.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: flashes her a charming smile :: CNS: Would you care for an escort to the seminar...I used to be a science officer myself.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
CTO: Oh? Why of course! ::smiles::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: takes another sip of his drink and returns her smile :: CNS: So how is the Apache treating you..well I hope?

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She gets up after a moment and takes her leave. She has to prepare for things to come::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
CTO: Oh, it's wonderful. Very much a family to me. Baran here is the FCO ::points to Baran:: and you just missed our CTO Greyfeather. He left.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
Hazzard: The Cherokee is our sister ship, you know. Same class.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::smiles::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
CNS: Wow...you guys came in force. :: chuckles :: CNS: I hope they won't mind me stealing you away from them for a little while.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::giggles:: CTO: Oh, no. They won't mind. If they do... well, that's their problem!

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
CTO: Oh, and I'm waiting for a friend. She's probably being bored to tears in the OPS Seminar...

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: stands up and offers his arm to her. :: CNS: Then perhaps we should be off...that way we won't have to sneak in during the presentation :: gives her a conspiratorial wink to let her know he noticed. ::

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::gets up and takes his arm:: CTO: My, aren't you the charmer... ::smirks::

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: grins and starts to escort her out. :: CNS:  Eh...its a gift.  But I only use it when the subject is worthy..and you are most definately worthy.

CNS_LJG_Solaa says:
::blushes:: CTO: Oh, stop... your too much.

Ltjg_M_W_Hazzard says:
:: grins and escorts her to the Science Seminar room....:: CNS: Nah...I'm just enough.

::Takes the hand of Royce and shakes it with a smile on her face:: Royce: Of course ma'am. ::smiles a bit::

Capt_TKnight says:
::rolls his eyes and makes a note to tell Ashley about that someday::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::looks up as he hears Yates' voice and blinks at her:: Commander Yates? It feels like yesterday since we last met. ::smiles at the one who had saved his life in the special forces mission::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles at Yates ::   Yates: I'm glad you could make it, Ashley

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::knows that he cannot discuss that "mission" openly, but still is happy to see her again::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Smiles at Kizlev:: It is a pleasure to see you again Kizlev. ::Smiles:: Anari: I wouldn't miss this for the world.

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles at Yates ::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::unconsciously rubs his shoulder remembering the arrow wound as he extends his other hand to Yates::

Capt_TKnight says:
::just sits back watching his crew relax for once::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Smiles at Kizlev and shakes his hand:: Kizlev: How have you been doing?

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Rising nodding to all ::   ALL: Captain Knight, Commanders Yates and Anari, Lieutenant Kizlev.  I have a meeting to attend to.  It was nice to meet you...   :: Looks at Yates, Anari and Kizlev ::   and good to see you, again, Thorne   :: Smiles ::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::grins:: Yates: Oh, just stirring up more worries for the Genenva CMO ::winks::

Capt_TKnight says:
::smiles:: Royce: You too Admiral; hopefully it won't be so long next time

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Nods to the Admiral:: Royce: It was a pleasure ma'am. ::Winks back at Kizlev::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods at Knight ::  Knight: I hope so, too.   :: Smiles then leaves the cafeteria ::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
Royce: Very good to meet you, admiral. Good fortunes to you. ::nods with antennae::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::drinks his cold water again, enjoy every sip::

Capt_TKnight says:
::looks at the two women and grins:: Yates/Anari:  I figured you'd be shopping

Capt_TKnight says:
Kizlev: You have the misfortune of knowing Ashley?   ::winks::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles at her Captain ::   Captain: I don't require anything new, sir, and I've picked up a few things for Jake and Commander Vince.

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Smiles at Thorne:: Knight: I will be, tomorrow. I have been preparing for my seminar. ::Chuckles at Thorne for his comment to Kizlev::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Giggles at her Captain's comment ::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::chuckles lightly, antennae twisting about gleefully:: Knight: I would rather call great fortune instead, sir.

Capt_TKnight says:
::grins:: That reminds me....I need to get Jake another bone...and Shane one too!

Capt_TKnight says:
Kizlev: I see, well give her time  ::grinning::

Capt_TKnight says:
Yates: That's tonight is it?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: gets up to leave, having enjoyed  his time listening to everyones coversations ::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles ::  Knight: I have a few for him, sir, for his size which you may have all but two...just in case you don't get the opportunity to shop.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: nods and smiles to the admiral as he walks out the door ::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Knight: Yes I have one tonight. ::Grins at him:: Knight: The longer one gets to know me, the more fun I am. ::winks::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Laughs at Ashley's comment ::

Capt_TKnight says:
Anari: Oh thank you E'Laina...he'll love that

LtJG_Kizlev says:
Knight: Heh, I am so confident in commander yates, that if I were the Geneva CO, I'd personally request for her to be on my staff.

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles at her Captain ::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::thinks the compliment may be too much, be Yates is more than deserving of it::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Looks at Kizlev ::   Kizlev: You're on the Geneva?

Capt_TKnight says:
Kizlev: Shhh she's got a high enough opinion of herself now ::sticks his tongue out at Ashley::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Laughs lightly at Knight's comment ::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ Yates: Go get him, Ashley! ~~~

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Smiles at Kizlev and brighter at Throne:: Knight: So I guess this means I get to have bigger Quarters. ::Laughs jokingly and sticks out her tounge::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::nods:: Anari: That I am, sir. I am the chief tactical officer currently on Geneva.

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Nods at Kizlev ::    Kizlev: Who Captains her?

Capt_TKnight says:
::grinning evilly:: Yates:  Always trying aren't you?

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
~~~Anari: This is what I like. Not having to worry about a life threatening situation for a few days.~~~ ::Smiles a bit::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
Anari: Captain Shras ::said simply, wondering if this is a test::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Smiles:: Knight: You know that I am happy where I am. I would not leave for the world.

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles as she hears Yates ::   ~~~ Yates: I can imagine...Doctor ~~~

Capt_TKnight says:
Yates: I know Ashley, and I'm truly grateful for that ::softly::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Nods to Kizlev as she thinks a moment ::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
~~~Anari: Doctor? We are off duty E'Laina.~~~ ::Smiles a bit as she hears Thorne::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ Yates: Habit, Ashley...habit ~~~   :: A giggle is heard in her voice ::

Capt_TKnight says:
Kizlev: Have you seen much action?

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
~~~Anari: I know.. I am usually the one who breaks that habbit.~~~ ::Laughs slightly::

LtCmdr_Anari says:
Kizlev: I've heard of him.   :: Smiles ::

LtJG_Kizlev says:
::nods with a grin:: Knight: Action? Yes...you could say that. It has been an unusual time to say the least.

Capt_TKnight says:
::nods and remembers his days on the Nighthawk and Sharikahr:: I understand how you feel

LtJG_Kizlev says:
Knight: You'll see in the reports that Geneva was forced to crash land on two seperate planets in the last several months ::almost busts out laughing at the thought::

LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Listens to Knight and Kizlev and smiles at his comment::

Capt_TKnight says:
Kizlev: Interesting, I haven't looked at the latest Intel reports, we've been rather busy ourselves

Capt_TKnight says:
::looks at his two friends and shares a sad smile::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::notes the entrances of Captain Q`tor and Commander Ashworth:: Hello Captain, Commander

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Greetings

CAPT_Q`tor says:
::nods:: Commander

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::quietly tips his chair back sipping a long cool glass of ice tea::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::off in a corner, catching up on paperwork, while sippign her glass of iced tea::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::walks over to the refreshment table::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
good grief ::looks around noting that there are some new faces::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
<Edit that out>

CTO_Teryus Hits Slater

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::grabs her medical tricorder and scans the cupcake::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::walks over to Captain TKnight and introduces himself:: TKnight: Hello Captain, I'm Victor Regnum of the Scorpius

LtCmdrRegnum says:
<<edit out>>

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::looks at CTO Teryus::  CTO: You hit a full Commander, do you have a death wish?

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
CTO: or shall we settle this with a painful physical?

CTO_Teryus says:
Cmdr: Nope ...Khrex made me do that with his mind powers to take control of my human side!

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::gathers up her work and leaves::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::sits at a nearby table drinking his Pina Collada and checking through a PADD of his notes from a few of the sessions he's attended so far

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
CTO: Then this is more serious than I thought, perhaps a counselor should take a look at you.

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::checks his watch:: So let's see, what seminars are about to begin?

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::greets Admiral Mitchell warmly::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
Hmm, the Truth about Klingons and Medical, I think I'll pass on those and take this opportunity to eat dinner

Admiral_Mitchell says:
Good evening.

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::notes the Admiral arrive and snaps to attention::

Admiral_Mitchell says:
At ease.

CTO_Teryus says:
Cmdr: Perhaps......Is the counselor vulcan ?

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
CTO: Does it matter? You have a mental problem that needs attention.

CTO_Teryus says:
Cmdr: No I don't have mental problem....Oh I see you obviusly didn't had chance to meet FCO Khrex

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::gets out of attention and walks over to the bar to order dinner::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
CTO: I can't say I've ever had the pleasure.

CTO_Teryus says:
Cmdr: In that case I don't need counselor

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
CTO: then I say you should behave yourself in here and not hit any more Commanders.

Admiral_Mitchell says:
Good evening, Commander Horn.  ::Nods::

CTO_Teryus says:
Cmdr: Agreed...It was pleasure to meet you Cmdr.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::walks into the room and looks around, sees the Admiral:: Admiral:  Admiral Mitchell.  Nice to see you again, Sir.

Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods again:: XO: And you, Commander.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Admiral:  I trust all is well.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
CTO: can't say the same about you

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::rubs sore spot on her chin::

CTO_Teryus says:
Cmdr: I belive you can't!

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: runs into the room with a pie, and throws it in Teryus' face, and he quickly runs back out ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees the episode with Woo out of the corner of her eye::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::flabbergasted at CO Woo's actions::

CTO_Teryus says:
::cleans out his face and smiels::

Admiral_Mitchell says:
XO: Yes, all is well, Commander, although situations on Kootenai Station have become quite...shall we say...chaotic...as of late.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: walks back into the room, fiddling with his thumbs; he sees people staring at him:: All: What?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: Admiral:  As they have on the Scorpius ... and I wonder what that was all about .. ::motions to the CTO with pie all over his face::

Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods to Captain Woo:: CO: Captain...

Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the CTO with pie plastered all over his face and raises an eyebrow::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::trying to hide her amusement::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
:;smirks at the CTO, thinking he deserved it::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: glances at the CTO :: CTO: Why, what a mess you are! You have pastry all over your uniform! Who would do such a thing?

CTO_Teryus says:
All: Well I got what I earnd::walks to the men's room to clean his face ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at CO Woo curiously::

CTO_Teryus says:
::after couple of minutes returns completly clean in new uniform::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: takes a sip of his red wine ::

Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods:: Ferrone: Admiral....

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Admiral: greetings

CTO_Teryus says:
Self:Whew I hate pie's....

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Admiral who just entered::

Adm_Ferrone says:
::nods to everyone::  Hello everybody

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Ferrone:  Good Evening, Admiral.

Adm_Ferrone says:
::orders a shirley temple from the bartender::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::wonders if she should behave herself with this many Admirals in the room::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::wanders over to the buffett again, looking over the selection::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to Cmdr Slater:: Slater:  Commander.  ::picks up a plate and looks over the selection::

CTO_Teryus says:
::simply disappears in front of everybody::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
*poof*

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
XO: Good evening, Commander.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  I was wondering what all that was about ... ::motions to the spot where the CTO was hit by the pie::

Adm_Ferrone says:
:: takes his drink and pulls up a stool::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: I wish I knew.  He came in here and hit me in the chin and had some lame excuse that his inner self took control of him.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: Slater:  I guess it takes all sorts ... ::piles her plate::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: Captain Woo came flying in here on a whim and decked him with a pie in the face......crazy thing.

Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods to everyone as she walks stiffly towards the door::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Well I must admit it was the funniest thing I've seen in a while ::chuckles::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::shakes head and picks up a spoon and helps herself to some fruit salad::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::grins at Commander Horn::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: are you married to the XO on Avalon Station?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Indeed.  You know Russ?

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: Indeed, I am also assigned to Avalon as her CMO.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.  I'm AQilla.  ::extends her hand::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::takes AQilla hand:; Horn: the pleasure is mine.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Please join me.  ::motions to an empty table::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::smiles and joins Horn::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  So, how is he coping with the children?  They can be a handful

Adm_Ferrone says:
::finishes his drink:: 

Adm_Ferrone says:
*Maelstrom*  One to beam up!

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: He must be such a private person, that I had no idea he had "the children" with him ::smiles::

Adm_Ferrone says:
::transports to his ship::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: Slater:  We have three children ... four year old twins and a 1 year old son.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: He hasn't mention that part of his life, nor have I seen the children in Sickbay.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  hmmm ... I'll have to have a talk to him about that ... ::grins::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::laughs::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: He must be shy, he rarely takes time to get to know anyone.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::won't say that he's been a thorn in her side now and again::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Well he is private.  So, what gossip can you tell me ... ::grins even more::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: Not very much, things have been very quiet on Avalon of late. Keeping to Sickbay mostly

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::takes a bit of her fruit salad::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
<bite>

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  I wish I could say the same of the Scorpius.  Things have been interesting lately, that's for sure.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: I guess station life is a little slower, it suits me just fine.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Maybe ... although I've seen excitement on Stations before, too ... but I love being on a ship.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: Yes, I know what you mean.  Avalon has been destroyed....what, twice since I've been assigned there?  ::laughs::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods and takes a bite of her food::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::dabs at her lips with a napkin and looks at the empty bowl::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  And here I was thinking it was safer on the station ...

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: In space, no one is safe.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::pushes her empty bowl away::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Slater:  Have you been to any of the seminars yet?  There are a couple I'm interested in attending ...

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: I haven't given it much thought, I have a lot to do this weekend. I have company visiting next weekend and I must prepare for that.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::nods to Admiral Royce:: Royce: evening Admiral.

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::   Commander...   :: Smiles ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to Admiral Royce::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods to the XO and smiles ::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
:;stands:: Horn: It's been a pleasure to visit with you, but I must take my leave.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::stands:: Slater:  It's been a pleasure, Commander.  Perhaps I'll see you some day on Avalon?

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Walks into the room and over to the replicator for a bottle of cold water ::

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
Horn: I'd like that.

Cmdr_Victoria_Slater says:
::nods to those around her and leaves the room::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Walks over to the Executive Officer and extends a slendar hand as she looks at the pips on the collar ::   Commander, I'm Admiral Royce

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::walks back into the cafeteria and looks around::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Sees Capt Knight come in and smiles in his direction ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::extends her own hand:  Royce:  Commander AQilla Horn, USS Scorpius.

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::   Horn: It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander.  Tell me, how fairs the Scorpius these days?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::sees Admiral Royce and nods, moving her way::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Sees Capt Knight approaching ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Royce:  She's just spent six months getting repaired and refitted ... she's now the grand lady she always was.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::hesitates, not wanting to intrude::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles at the CO::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::   Horn: Good...it's a shame when they get beat up like that.   :: Looks over to Thorne ::   Do you know Captain Knight?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Royce:  I don't believe I've had the pleasure, Ma'am.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::extends her hand to the CO:  CO:  Commander AQilla Horn, Executive Officer of the USS Scorpius.

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Motions to Thorne ::   Captain Thorne Knight, Commanding Officer, USS Triton...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  A pleasure, Sir.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::nods and smiles back::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: The pleasure is mine

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO/Admiral:  Please join me.  ::motions to the empty seats::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::shakes her hand::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Thank you

Admiral_Royce says:
Horn: Only for a minute...I have a Vice Admiral to meet with shortly    :: Smiles and moves to the seats ::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::sips his drink:: Royce: You've been busy today

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Knight:  So, how's the Triton faring ...

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::   The demands of Starfleet...    :: Grins ::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
Horn:  We're doing okay.  We just returned from a very long mission

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over the crowd then inconspiciously moves to get himself a drink::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
Horn: and the Scorpius?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  The same with us.  We just had a very nasty encounter with the Gorn ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Sounds nasty

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Looks over quickly ::   I heard about that...I'm sorry for your losses

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Royce:  Thank you, Admiral.  It was indeed difficult for all the crew ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::finds a quiet corner and sits, sipping his drink and looking over the convention schedule::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Many casulties?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees someone she knows and heads towards them::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  88 dead, hundreds more injured.  I've never seen a ship so badly damaged that has actually survived ...

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::steps into the room:: All: There is a Special Operations seminar down the hall in #Special_Operations if anyone is interested. ::smiles and returns to her office::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  Want some company?  ::grins::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks up from his brochure and sees Jordan::  Pettigrove:  A friendly face!  ::smiles::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Sounds like one of my first missions on the Nighthawk...we took over 50% casulties

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Manuvers her hover chair quickly to get some water ::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks up at the Admiral's announcement::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::grins:: CNS:  Fancy meeting you here ... ::takes a seat::

CNS_Luchena says:
Pettigrove:  What's "Special Operations"?  Any idea?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  One of our officers lost his entire family ... ::trails off::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shrugs:: CNS:  Probably covert stuff ...

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Looks at the schedule and quickly maneuvers her chair to the next seminar. Sees the XO and nods a greeting ::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::can see the pain and the horror of it in her face::  My sympathies

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Leaves quietly for another seminar ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles and nods at Watson::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::  That is very tragic, indeed

CNS_Luchena says:
Pettigrove:  Covert stuff... hummm.  ::thinks::  you know what I'd really like to see?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  What?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO/Royce:  But the Scorpius will survive ... as will her crew.  I believe we have the best crew in the Fleet ...

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::  She is a fine ship, Commander

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO/Royce: I think we all believe that of our ships..and we're all right!  ::raises his glass in a toast::

CNS_Luchena says:
Pettigrove:  A legal seminar on just how many times  you can reasonably get away with the defense that you were possessed by an alien intelligence.  ::grins::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::chuckles:: CNS:  And that has happened to us a few times ...

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Snickers with Capt Knight ::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: No disrespect intended Cmdr  ::grins::

Admiral_Royce says:
Aye, Captain Knight...but they are all special, and the best

CNS_Luchena says:
Pettigrove:  To me in particular.  ::smile shows a trace of sadness::  How is the lovely Jordan tonight?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::raises her glass:: CO:  I'll drink to that!  ::raises a Romulan eyebrow::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  I'm fine ... more to the point ... how are you, Mikal.  I've been worried about you ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::raises his glass again and thinks of Serena sadly::

CNS_Luchena says:
Pettigrove:  I'm forgetting my manners.  May I get you a drink?  ::starts to get up::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Stands ::   Knight/Horn: If you will excuse me...I have that meeting to go to...   :: Smiles ::    Knight: Thorne...    Horn: Commander...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: CNS:  I'm fine ... ::signals to a waiter::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
Royce: Ma'am

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Royce:  A pleasure to meet you, Admiral.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::stands in respect::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Nods ::  Horn/Knight: Take care and be well

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::stands as well, smiling:: Royce: You too Admiral

Admiral_Royce says:
:: walks from the cafeteria ::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Admiral Royce and I have known each other a long time ::smiling::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  But you still didn't answer my question, Mikal ... how are you doing?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: CO:  I gathered as much.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Sort of obvious huh?  ::blushes a little::

CNS_Luchena says:
::settles back in his seat::  Pettigrove: I'm a little confused actually.  I feel like we're caught in some sort of temporal anomaly.  We shouldn't be here.  At least not yet.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: CO:  Only to someone who's been there, Captain ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO:   Cmdr Horn I do believe we have a lot in common already!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  We probably do!  So, tell me all about yourself, Captain Knight ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: The condensed version or the long boring one?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: CO:  Condensed would be fine.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  I know this seems like a silly question to ask a Counselor .. but do you want to talk about it?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at her curiously::  Pettigrove:  Everything feels all right to you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: CNS: No, I have felt something ... but I don't know what ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::grins:: XO: Well let's see, I started off as TO of the Nighthawk the day she was launched; moved to CTO of the Sharikahr the week she was launched; went to theTriton as her XO and within about four months became her Captain and I've been there the past almost three years.  I grew up in Kansas, a farm boy among the stars!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: CO:  My story is a little different ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: I'd love to hear it

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Well, I was born on Romulus, my father was Romulan, my mother Human.  I came to the Federation as a teenager, went to the Academy and have served on the Scorpius my whole career.  I started as an Engineer and worked my way up.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  It's as though something isn't right ....

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: So she's as much a home to you as any other place?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks troubled but then brightens up::  Pettigrove:  But its always like that on the Pendragon, isn't it?  ::leans closer and speak softly::  I mean, listen to the war stories going on. The Pendragon is so different.... it's never "right" per se.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  She's the only home I know, really.  I have spent very little time on a planet ... even my children are being raised in space ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS: I know what you mean.  It seems on every mission we undertake something unusual happens to us ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: My children have been raised here on Earth...my wife left me a while back...she couldn't stand the long periods of my being gone, but I understand her decision

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: My husband is XO of Avalon Station ... we barely see each other in person but we communicate all the time.

CNS_Luchena says:
::laughs softly::  OPS:  When I tell anyone our war stories, no one believes me.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::Laughs:: CNS: I know ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Unfortunately for Sue and I most of our missions take us deep into space; very deep and I'm out of touch for months at a time

CNS_Luchena says:
Pettigrove;  After a while you just learn to be quiet about it, so everyone does think your nuts.  ::winks::

CNS_Luchena says:
<doesn't>

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::chuckles:: CNS: I've given up trying to explain some of the things we've lived through.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::brightens:: XO: But we are still good friends

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I was lucky for a while.  Russ and I both served on the Scorpius for some time together ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::twirls his finger around the side of his head in that crazy gesture::  Pettigrove:  It's probably for the best.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS: Are you sure you're ok?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Sue is at Starfleet Medical in San Francisco...she got tired of seeing what could happen to her husband I guess

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  I think this weekend will be a good opportunity to relax and unwind.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tosses back the remainder of his drink::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  And what better way than with friends, right?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods, understanding::

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles at Jordan::  Pettigrove:  Absolutely.  ::slowly looks over the crowd in the room::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: How old are your children if I may ask?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I have four-year-old twins and a 1 year old son.  How about yours?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Much older; Al is sixteen and in the Academy; my twins are 18 now....hard to believe and their both nurses at SF Med

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to sense what the CNS is thinking::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods to an unfamiliar officer seated across the room::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees M'Tor enter the room:: CNS:  Now there's a face I haven't seen in a while ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: I'm much older than I look ::Grinning::

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  I've never seen him.  Who is he?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins back:: CO:  I would never have guessed!

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Here's to deep space and all those mysterious radiations!  ::raises glass again::

Capt_M`Tor says:
::enters the room and nods::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  You don't remember M'Tor?  Oh right ... you weren't on the ship when M'Tor was ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::raises her glass:: CO:  To deep space ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods to M'Tor as he surveys the room::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: ::suddenly sad:: And to missing friends

Capt_M`Tor says:
::finds a glass:: XO: I shall most certainly drink to that. ::raises glass::

Capt_M`Tor says:
XO: To the honored dead.

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  Kerina has spoken of him.  ::recalls what Kerina said about him and blanches::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Capt:  May the Elements guide them ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
M'Tor:  I don't believe we've had the pleasure ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO_Horn: and the wind always be at their backs

CNS_Luchena says:
::glares at M'Tor and wonders how he could have let her go so easily::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Knight:  I must confess, sometimes I have difficulty with Human expressions, but that one I understand ... ::Raises her glass again:: Knight/M'Tor:  To the honored dead.

Capt_M`Tor says:
XO: Captain M`Tor Commanding Officer Abertura Station... that is until someone decides to destroy it. ::grins::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: M'Tor:  Commander AQilla Horn, XO of the USS Scorpius ..

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO_Horn: We do have some rather obscure meanings don't we?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Knight:  Indeed.  Our Captain delights in using human expressions ... half the time I don't understand what he is talking about!

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: It has been quite a long time Commander.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: I'm afraid my Chief Science Officer would accuse me of the same thing

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::smiles:: M'Tor:  Indeed it has ... How are things M'Tor?

CNS_Luchena says:
::stares at the Vulcan::

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: Each day is a challenge...so I am satisfied

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what she could have possibly seen in him::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  I would like to introduce you to Cmdr Mikal Luchina ... Mikal is the CNS on the Pendragon.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  So station life is treating you well ... I can certainly see it is!  ::laughs::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands and bows::  M'Tor:  Kerina O'Dunn has spoken of you, Sir.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO_Horn:  HIs Vulcan sensibilities get trampled sometimes

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<Luchena ... darn I KNEW I'd spell it wrong!>

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
<edit his - HIs>

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Knight:  Well one thing about Romulans ... we do have a sense of humour ...

Capt_M`Tor says:
::raises both eyebrows:: CNS: Indeed... She is well?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO_Horn: I have noticed that yes ::grins::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits back down::  M'Tor:  Not when I last saw her.  She's on Vulcan now.

Capt_M`Tor says:
::Frowns:: CNS: That seems an unlikely place for her.

CNS_Luchena says:
M'Tor:  She changed much from when you knew her.  ::gives him a hard, stony look::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  A lot has happened ...

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Do you find, as I do sometimes, that it's hard to relax during one of these conferences totally?  We don't have much down time on the Triton

Capt_M`Tor says:
CNS: Change is inevitable... how we deal with it is how we remain alive.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  It's funny ... but when we do find the time ... all we do is talk about our work ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::senses Mikal's hostility and looks at him::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: It surely is...an occupational hazard I guess by the time you become command staff

CNS_Luchena says:
::shoots him look of pure hate then quickly stands::  OPS:  If you'll excuse me.  ::walks away from the table quickly::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  You know sometimes I miss being an Engineer ...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches Mikal with concern::

Capt_M`Tor says:
::frowns:: OPS: Something horrible happened... correct?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: I miss having all the weapons and other systems at my fingertips as well

CTO_q`vort says:
ALL: Anyone wish to drink with me some hearty bloodwine?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: M'Tor:  Kerina nearly died ... she contracted a virus which nearly killed her.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks over to Q'Vort:: Knight:  I wonder if a Klingon and a Romulan could drink Blood Wine in peace ..

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enjoys tempting fate::

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: And now she withers on Vulcan? She must get out and live... or she will have an empty existence.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Now's a good time to find out ::nods encouragingly::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits by himself at the bar and orders another drink::

CTO_q`vort says:
All: Well I don't really care if your half blood. I only kill the full blooded ones.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  She was also transformed by the virus, M'Tor.  The last time I saw Kerina she was a Vulcan ... not the woman you knew at all ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns his back to the room and loses himself in his memories::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
XO: Cmdr if you will excuse me, I must go meet my son for a dinner appointment.  I hope we get a chance to talk again soon

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to the CTO:: CTO:  Then pour, Klingon ... ::looks at him:: It's been some time since I've had Blood Wine ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Knight:  It's been a pleasure, Captain.

CTO_q`vort says:
::pours her a drink::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::nods and smiles:: XO: Mine too Cmdr

Capt_M`Tor says:
::downs his drink:: OPS: Then I shall remember her as I did.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::leaves and smiles as he does::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::downs the drink::

CNS_Luchena says:
::overhears Mtor and thinks:  Then you shall remember only a ghost, not the living, breathing essence of the woman she is::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::orders two Romulan Ales and hands one to the Klingon:: Q'Vort:  Will you do me the honour of drinking Romulan Ale with me?

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: I need to speak to someone...   ::walks over to Luchena:: CNS: I have troubled you.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

CNS_Luchena says:
::tosses back another drink and slowly turns::

CNS_Luchena says:
M'tor:  The trouble is my own Captain.  Thank you for your concern.  ::turns his back::

CTO_q`vort says:
::nods::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::downs the Ale::

CTO_q`vort says:
::downs::

Capt_M`Tor says:
CNS: We have a common bond... we share troubles now.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches them both::

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns back around, not willing in even the slightest way to like this person::  M'tor:  I'm honoured, but please leave me alone.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::wonders what she's done::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Q'Vort:  I would like to know the name of the warrior I drink with.  I am AQilla.

Capt_M`Tor says:
CNS: So you wish to stay here and drink alone until...  something happens.... what exactly? Wait until the pain goes away? It will not.

CNS_Luchena says:
M'Tor:  What do you know of it?

CTO_q`vort says:
Aquilla: q'vort tuq qwertal.

CTO_q`vort says:
Aquilla: Exchange officer of the USS Katana.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  And I am the XO of the USS Scorpius.  I am honoured to meet you.

Capt_M`Tor says:
CNS: We all have pain... accept it... it will not go away... never forget the pain never forget the memory of those you love.

CTO_q`vort says:
XO: Likewise.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks she's really done it now ... Mikal will never speak to her again ... shrinks into her chair::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at M'Tor then over at Jordan who is slumped in her chair::  M'tor: Thank you for your advice, Captain.

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::returns from where he had dinner::

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room:: All: there is a tactical seminar in #BattleBridge if anyone is interested. ::smiles and returns to her office::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
::walks over to Commander Horn:: Commander Horn sir, good to see you

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  That seminar sounds interesting.  I might attend it ...

Capt_M`Tor says:
::grabs two drinks and hands one to Luchena:: CNS: To pain! ::raises glass::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Regnum:  And you, Cmdr.  You are looking well.

LtCmdrRegnum says:
Yes the extra pip has a tendancy to make anyone look well

CTO_q`vort says:
XO: I will attend it.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is beginning to be intrigued and picks up the glass::  M'Tor:  And Klingon philosophy.  ::raises his glass as well::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: Regnum:  Indeed it does.

CNS_Luchena says:
::glances over at Jordan and winks::

Capt_M`Tor says:
::grins and drinks::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks away::

CNS_Luchena says:
::drinks it down::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
How are you enjoying the seminars commander?

CNS_Luchena says:
::staggers over towards Jordan::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Regnum:  I haven't attended any yet!  Just about to take in a tactical seminar ...

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  Well, my beautiful Jordan... I think I need to go to bed.  ::kisses her on the forehead and staggers towards the exit::

Capt_M`Tor says:
::shakes head and thinks Luchena needs more drinking practice::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks she might as well attend the tactical seminar as today shows she has no tact at all ... gets up::

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: He will survive.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stumbles out the door::

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: Now he has to learn to live.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks utterly miserable:: M'Tor:  And now I have just made matters worse ...

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: I do not think so.... I think he has chosen to live

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  I should have sensed it ...

CTO_q`vort says:
::leaves out of the room for a seminar::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  Some telepath I am ...

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: Pain has a habit of appearing without provocation. You did no harm

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  I think I will attend that seminar ... ::gets up::

Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods::

Capt_M`Tor says:
OPS: Until our next meeting

OPS_Pettigrove says:
M'Tor:  It was a pleasure seeing you again.  ::leaves the room quietly::

Capt_M`Tor says:
::exits the room in the other direction::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
Greetings all

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Slowly comes in between normal, walking people.  She had got separated from the Commander she was following ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson:  ::enters in::  There looks like a good spot.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<del>

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Over here ::waves her over::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Looks around and spies her new friend. Moves her hover chair over to her ::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::   Cephas: I got...intercepted...    :: Makes a face ::

LtCmdrRegnum says:
Well all, I think I'm going to head back to my quarters for the night

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::moves to a quiet table with some food and a cool drink....he needs some time to think::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: smiles at LtCmdr Regnum ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::chuckles::  Watson: It happens. ::hails the waiter over::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Laughs sounding fustrated ::   Cephas: Well, people move for you, sir...I'm just a lowly ensign

LtCmdrRegnum says:
Goodnight everyone

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::nods to the LtCmdr:: Good night

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles again at the LtCmdr and nods ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::loses a bit of her smile as she knows what the Ensign is talking about::  Watson: I can relate... I have been there

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::sees Mia walk in::  Mia!

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::waves her over::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::walks in and sees two hover chairs at a table. Suddenly sees Keely and runs over throwing her arms around her in a huge hug:: Keely!!!

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Glances over at the Captain ::   Cephas: How...how long for you, sir?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: From the cornoer of her eye sees someone come running over ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::laughs and hugs Mia back::  Mia: It is so good to see you again Mia.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::still hugging her:: Oh I was hoping I'd see you when I saw the old Shari in orbit.!!

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles nervously at the pair ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::pulls back:: Watson: Let me introduce you to Mia... she is an ::looks to makes sure there have been no changes in the pips::  an Ensign on the Dublin.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::sees the shy ensign in the other chair and grins at her:: Don;t mind me....I just haven't seen Keely in a coon's age.  ::stands up and sticks her hand out to shake:: I'm Mia....OPS on the Dublin...used to be OPS on the Shari with Keely.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Mia: This is Ensign Watson from the Scorpius ::looks at Watson to make sure::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Nods and smiles nervously while extending her hand ::   Clooney: Nice to meet you

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Nods at Cephas ::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::suddenly realizes that Keely is in uniform and claps her hand to her mouth:: Yipes!! I am sooo sorry Commander.  I forgot.  ::gives her a salute::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Brightens as she hears Clooney works OPS ::   Clooney: I work OPS too

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::grins as they find something in common::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Mia is one of the best in the Fleet

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Frowns ::   Clooney: But I've been on medical leave...

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::   Cepahas: I can only hope to be one day...if I ever return to duty

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::waves the salute off and motions her to sit down::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::grimaces at the same time she blushes at Keely's compliment::  I spend a lot of time in medical too.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles relaxing more around the pair ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::laughs::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: I'm sorry what was it you were asking me a moment ago?

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::sits down and looks at keely with a sigh:: Wow...a commander....and captain of the Sharikahr.  You've done so good.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::smiles as he listens to the others giggle and laugh...it's been way too long since any of that's been in his life::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::grins at Mia::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Quietly ::   Cephas: How long have you been in your chair?

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Every since I left my home world of Gem to join Star Fleet.  My home world is a low gravity planet.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<Ever>

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::giggles:: That's how Keely ...er...the Commander...and I met....I tripped over her.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::chuckles again at the memory::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Eyes go wide ::   Cephas:  OH!   You're a...you're a...    :: Stumbles as she graps for the species, her mind whirling ::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles as she hears Clooney ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Elaysian

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles big ::  Cephas: Yea!  That's it!   :: Then realizes how dumb she must appear and gets embarrassed ::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Thinks to self ::   Self: You are SUCH a dork!   :: Tries to calm down ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Don't get embarrased... there are very few of my people that leave the homeworld.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::gets up and walks over and replicates a large strawberry shake, super sized.  Carries it over with both hands, walking slowly as not to spill:: Yea....the Commander is the first Elaysian I ever met.  never even really heard of them before I met her.  Except a short blurb at teh academy.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::   Cepahas: Thank you, sir...I'm...sorry...I'm just so NEW to all this!

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::takes a big sip from the straw and sighs happily:: Watson: When did you join Starfleet?

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::continues to give her a warm smile::  Watson: Give it time

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
<When did you graduate?>

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Clooney: I graduated...oh...about 4 months ago.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles, then frowns ::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Clooney: But my career may be over...    :: Looks at her hover chair ::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
Wow....you are pretty new.  ::sighs:: I graduated years ago.  Before the Commander even.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Why do you say that?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles and shrugs ::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::looks at the chair:: Because of that?  Don;t be silly. ::waves her hand in the air as if to brush all doubts away::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Face darkens ::   Cephas/Clooney:  Well...ever since my accident...   :: Eyes tear up and she shakes her head ::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Swallows hard ::   Cephas/Clooney:  I don't think I can do this anymore...

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::sees her distress:: You want to tell us what happened? ::gives her a sympathetic smile::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Shakes her head ::   Clooney/Cephas: I don't have much memory of what happened.  All I know is that I had to slave navigation to my console, which is fine...I'm a good pilot...

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Clooney/Cephas: Next thing I know, I'm in sickbay on Earth

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods as she starts to slip into her old counselor mode::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Clooney/Cephas: My parents were there...my mother sobbing...my dad...

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Shrugs ::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Thinks harder ::   Clooney/Cephas: My last orders were to keep the ship between the attacking two Gorn vessels and some...pod

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: It can be difficult being thrusted into that position.  I for one knew that I was going to be like this.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
Wow...that's harsh ::her milkshake forgotten as it melts and drips down the side of the huge glass:: Do they say you'll ever walk again?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Nods ::   Cephas: I'm still trying to get used to it

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Clooney: They're not sure.  The spinal implants are not responding

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Sighs as a tear falls.  Hurriedly brushes it away, then tries to smile some ::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::frowns:: Well don't give up and in the meantime...there's no reason you can't continue doing your job at OPS.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: Exactly.  Just like Lt Mrlr said in there... we all have special traits and abilties that are needed.  That chair doesn't stop you from using those talents.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Nods and looks at Clooney ::   Clooney: Yes there is...I've been released for duty.  I feel like a huge...weight

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
<edit: add I've not been...>

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Cephas: I know...but it's hard for me to visualize at the moment

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Cephas/Clooney: But...please...enough of me...

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::goea back t o sipping her milkshake:: You know...I had to relearn everything...twice.  How to walk and talk and move.  the first time was on the Sharikahr and the last time was on the Dublin.  I never thought I'd ever get back...especially twice.  But here I am. ::grins and slurps a large sip::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Sniffs a little bit and wipes another tear from her eyes ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
I use to have a fear of falling and not being able to get up without help.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::drinks her drink that the waiter had brought back::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::   Clooney: I'm happy for you.  I'll try to remember your strength and courage...   Cephas: And yours, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Actually I think I would still be battling that fear if it wasn't for friends like MIa here. ::nods her head towards hers::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::giggles:: The Commander used to get really furious with me when I wouldn't help her up but made her do it herself.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::chuckles::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
Especially when she started to outrank me....boy am I glad I can run faster than she can hover :;grins::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::laughs::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::   Cephas: I don't know my fellow crewmates well...they all seem nice...but they have all have their own lives.  My only visitor has been a member of my own department....

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Well do like Mia here... go trip over a few of them ::smirks::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<Watson:>

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::giggles again and chokes on a mouthful of shake::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles ::  Cephas: It took me a week to get the hang of this hover chair.  I kept getting stuck between stuff in my quarters...

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
<edit week to weeks>

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: he steps back into the cafeteria, and grabs a glass of sherry from the bar ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: ::smiles relating to that::  Been there done that for sure.

CTO_LtJG_Lingn says:
::grabs himself a glass of Andorian Ale::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::  Cephas: Thank you, sir...

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::whispers loudly:: Watson:: Still does...

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Looks at Cephas and Clooney ::   Cephas/Clooney:  Thank you to you both

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Mia: SO Mia what have you been up to?

Ens_Turok says:
Hembrook: Well that was interesting.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Self: Drat, missed the seminar... :: sips his sherry as he watches the seminar participants head back for the Cafeteria...::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::takes another loud slurp and sighs happily again:: Oh nothing much...getting kidnapped and getting put on report...pretty much the same old, same old ::grins::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::walks in with her friends::

CTO_q`vort says:
::enters::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Hears people starting to come in and turns around to see who they are ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
::walks in with Horn and the CSO::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
<CSO=FCO>

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
:: walks into the cafe` With his XO, and her Friend Commander Tarrez in tow ::

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
Turok: Yes, would have been nice to know it wasn't a Battle Tactics class beforehand tho.

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::wanders over to the replicator for a chicken sandwich and cappuccino::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves to the bar:: CSO/FCO:  Can I buy you two a drink?

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Report again? ::smirks::  You ought to just keep one on file for your CO

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: swishes his glass :: TO: If you want a schedule, there are lots of 'em at the front desk, ensign. ::smiles::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
XO/CSO: How about a drink! :: looks around for service ::

CTO_LtJG_Lingn says:
::sits back down at his table and drinks more bloodwine::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
XO: I had the same thought Commander

CTO_q`vort says:
::joins the Andorian::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
I will take a cup of Earl Grey, hot.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO_Woo: Oh, good evening Captain... how are things on the Huron?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
<XO:>

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  You got it!  FCO:  Ensign?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<OOPS ... Make that Lt>

Ens_Turok says:
Hembrook: Well, I'd say you pretty much held your own against him.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::motions to the waiter::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: laughs :: TO: You know your ships, don't you? ::takes a sip, grinning:: Things on the Huron are good. And you - where are you posted, ensign?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Notices her XO and FCO come in amoung the people who have walked in ::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
XO: Sure Commander, do they serve any American made rootbeet, it's and earth beverage. Quite foamy. Peter Pan would approve! :: winks ::

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO_Woo: I'm on the Apache Sir, with Ens. Turok here and Captain Storal.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::looks at Watson:: Trust me....don't ever get put on report..not if you ever want to wear more than one pip

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles at the reference::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
<rootbeer>

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Laughs ::   Clooney: I'll try to remember that!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::orders the drinks:: CSO:  So, when is the baby due?

CO_Capt_Woo says:
TO: Ah, the Apache! Turok: How do you do, ensign. Mm... Captain Storal. Heard of him, from the odd report, I guess... never met him. And the Apache is well, I take it?

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::glumly:: I'll probably be the oldest Ensign in the fleet.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
::smiles::  FCO: Rootbeer... I use to remember another Horn that liked rootbeer

Ens_Turok says:
WOO: Good evening sir.

CTO_q`vort says:
::downsa a bottle of bloodwine::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

CTO_q`vort says:
<downs a bottle>

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
XO: Babies ::grins:: in about 4 months

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Babies?

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO_Woo: Still in one piece Sir, Klingons and Borg and others notwithstanding.

CO_Trelan says:
:: enters the cafeteria, making his way to the bar ::

Ens_Turok says:
WOO: Very well sir.

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
:: notices a young familiar ensign moving around in a hoverchair :: XO: Look.. :: tries not to point bit motions to their mutual OPS Officer ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Watson: But the first OPS that I would call on if I really needed something

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Yes, I noticed.  CSO:  Will you excuse me for a minute?  There's someone I need to say hello to.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
::nods::  XO: Twins

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: laughs :: TO: I take it, then, you are not the type to be intimidated by Klingons and Borg and "others", hmm?

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::blushes at the compliment and then suddenly remembers something and glares at Keely:: Okay...so why did you go and get married to...to...him?

Ens_Turok says:
WOO: We were just recently posted to her sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
::nods to the XO::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
:: moves pver to the table where Watson is parked at ::

CTO_q`vort says:
TO: I am insulted by your statement.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Turok: Ah, I see. Are you new graduates, then? How are you enjoying the service?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles ::

Capt_Trelan says:
<Bartender> Trelan: Hello, Captain. :: grins :: What can I get for you?

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: takes a sip, savouring the flavours ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Ahh ... joining the twins Club, heh.

Capt_Trelan says:
Bartender: Tarkalean Brandy, please.

CTO_q`vort says:
TO: As you may or may not notice I AM KLINGON!

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO_Woo: I'll take on anyone if I have to Sir, but I'm more concerned that everyone makes it back to the boat in one piece, and the boat makes it to port under it's own power. ::grins::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Mia: I haven't gotten married... yet ::drinks her drink::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
Watson: Ensign, It's so good to see you out and about so to speak. And you thought wisely there is never a seat in this place so you brought your own. And who is your friend? :: smiles ::

Ens_Turok says:
WOO: I don't think she intimidates by anything but her regular phsyical sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
::nods to the XO::

CTO_q`vort says:
::curses and goes back into his drink::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: glances over at the standing Klingon CTO :: CTO: Calm yourself, have a drink, soldier. You are also a Starfleet officer. ::winks::

Ens_Turok says:
Q'VORT: May I get you a bloodwine sir?

Capt_Trelan says:
<Bartender> :: produces a glass of the brownish liquid :: Trelan: Hre ya go.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::brightens:: then there is hope?  ::grins mischieviously:: Hank will be happy about that.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  So, tell me about this man you married ... ::grins::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Giggles ::   Bodine:  Commander Cephas of the Shari, and Ensign Clooney of...the Dublin?

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
Turok: That, and senior officers who won't listen to Tactical advice. ::chuckles::

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: I am an Exchange officer on the USS Katana. I went to Klingon Imperial Academy.

Capt_Trelan says:
Bartender: Thanks. :: grins, his nose ridges crinkling slightly ::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::grins up at the Lt:: Hi Lt. ::stands up:: Ensign Clooney, USS Dublin.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Motions to the others ::   Cephas/Clooney:  This is John Bodine, FCO of the Scorpius

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::frowns and looks down at the table at the mention of Hank::

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: But the drink would be nice Captain...?

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: Yet you are serving on the USS Katana in Starfleet, and while you are there, I'm sure you will honour our customs and regulations, yes? ::smiles:: Eric Woo.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::looks up from her hover chair and smiles at the FCO: FCO: Good to meet you.  I am Cmdr Keely Cephas, CO of the USS Sharki

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<Shari>

Capt_Trelan says:
:: sips his drink as he swivels on his stool, looking out among the crowd ::

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::enters the room and walks to the back for a cup of coffee.  Smiles to see everyone enjoying themselves::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to where Bodine and Watson are:: FCO/Ensign:  Mind if I join you?

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: I am only standing up for other klingons aas you humans would. I do not feel like fighting. Right now I want a drink. Join me.

CTO_q`vort says:
<as>

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
Cephas/Clooney: It is an honor and a pleassure to meet you both sirs.. :: turns back to the XO and motions that he will be awile :: Watson: May I take a seat for a moment? :: he asks extending his hand to an open chair nearby ::

Ens_Turok says:
::Glad the captain could diffuse the situation as he wasn't ready for another fight with Gina::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
TO: The mark of a true tactical officer... ::grins::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:
::takes the moment to go to the bathroom seeing as her party is going to be detained::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles ::   Cephas/Clooney:  May I introduce, the Scorp's XO, Commander Aqill Horn.

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO_Woo: I try my best Sir.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: No, you will join me, exchange officer of the USS Katana! ::grins:: Join my table where we can all drink together!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::inclides her head towards the XO::  Cmdr Keely Cephas, CO of the USS Shari

CTO_q`vort says:
::joins his table::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: I, er, failed to catch your name, Klingon.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Turok: And you, ensign? How have you enjoyed the service so far?

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::pulls out some chairs and offers it to the FCO and XO.  Moves her milkshake out of hte way and hurridly wipes up the spills on the table:: FCO/XO: Here you go, sirs.

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: q'vort tuq qwertal but call me q'vort.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles taking a deep breath and looks at Bodine and Horn ::   Horn: I'm making it, sir...one day at a time

CTO_LtJG_Lingn says:
::leaves:: All: Night all. I must ship out for the USS Europa.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: q'vort it is. ::grins and holds up his glass:: It may be sherry, but it looks close enough to bloodwyne, no? I believe they are serving a bit of bloodwyne... somewhere. ::grins::

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: I don't mind.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: Watson:  That's good to hear.

Ens_Turok says:
WOO, Q'VORT, HEMBROOK: More drinks anyone?

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
Cephes: The USS Sharki, that is a NCC-81204 Norway class isn't it Captain?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles nervously ::  XO: I'm still waiting to return to duty, sir

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::looks at her chronometer and steps to the center of the room:: All: may I have your attention please.  The Cafeteria will be closing in half an hour.  But will reopen at 0800 Earth pacific time.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods, impressed::  FCO: It is indeed sir.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Turok: Sit down and enjoy yourself, ensign. The replicators and bar are mere steps away. ::grins:: No need to be so gracious here.

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:
I'm on my way out Captain, I have an early duty shift tomorrow... but it was good to meet you Sir.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
TO: Well, a pleasure to meet you, ensign!

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::turns and nods to the Admiral:

CTO_q`vort says:
Turok: Keep em coming. I might feel the need to sing!

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Enters and looks around a moment ::

All: Bagh Da tuH moh !

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Spies someone who looks vaguely familiar and walks up behind him ::   Trelan: Hello, Captain...   :: Grins ::

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
Cephes: Aww I remember when she was launched or at least I think so. I try and keep tabs on those things if and whn I can, how does she fly? The Norway I mean do you like it?

CTO_q`vort says:
All:ChojaH Duh rHo !

TO_Ens_Hembrook says:

Capt_Trelan says:

Capt_Trelan says:
Royce: After the science conference on Nupawn III, we got the chance to swing by Earth, and I heard about Starfleet's annual gathering, so I thought we'd stay a few extra days.

Ens_Turok says:
Woo: Swindle is such a harsh word sir. I prefer eleviating unnecassary fund from people who have no need for them.

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
Cephes: I just got into the Flight Seat sir. It's a bit nervous. I've served in nearly every department but this one is all new. I think I'll take a seminar for flight tomorrow. Maybe it might help me overcome some of my fears.

Admiral_Royce says:
Trelan: I'm glad you did   :: Smiles ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::grins::

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
Cephas: Don't let him fool you...he's good

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Turok: Ah, I see. And what is your preferred method of... alleviating unnecessary funds?

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Winks at Bodine ::

CTO_q`vort says:
All: I hope my singing was not too bad. ::grins::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
All: Well all I think I should be heading back to the ship know.  I have a matter that I need to attend to

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: You sing the song well, q'vort! It is obvious that you have had much opportunity to sing *that* particular song. ::grins::

Ens_Turok says:
Woo: Sir,  all i ask for in a fight or a game is a fair advantage. ::Smiling::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<now>

Capt_Trelan says:
:: motions to a table :: Royce: I'm surprised to see you here. I figured Starfleet would have sent you out on another mission.

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
Watson: So, Mr. Watson how you holding up? I probably don't sound too professoal saying this but I miss you at my side on the bridge its lonely up there in front without you. Your replacement, is preforming his tasks as he should but still ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::agrees with Watson:: Cephas:  That he is.  I don't now what we'd do without him ... or our young OPS officer for that matter ... ::smiles at Watson::

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: You sing well also.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Turok: And your game of choice? ::winks, with a sparkle in his eyes::

CTO_q`vort says:

Cephas: I hope we meet again sometime sir.

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Smiles at Bodine ::  Bodine: Thank you, sir...I'm glad someone misses me...   :: Whispers the last ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Cephas:  How true.  Ms Watson here was a bundle of nerves on her first day ... but she has proven she can do the job.  I look forward to her returning to duty soon.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods to the Ensign::  Watson: I'm great at listen so feel free to give me a call anytime if you need to talk to someone

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: I am afraid it has been some time since I have sung such songs... I do not have the memory for such a thing!

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:
:: Grins at her XO ::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<listening>

Admiral_Royce says:

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez_Hunter says:

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: Well said! :: grabs a beer stein from... somewhere... and slams it against the CTO's mug; and drinks from it::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: laughs :: Royce: I'm sure he is.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO/Watson:  I'll see you two later?

Admiral_Royce says:
Trelan: And looking more like you every day

Capt_Trelan says:

CTO_q`vort says:

Ensign_Nadia_Watson says:

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: Another song!

Admiral_Royce says:
Trelan:  Yes...it's good though

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: And yet, I cannot imagine it is a very... good substitute for a real Klingon vessel!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Clooney:  It was a pleasure to meet you, Ensign.

Capt_Trelan says:
Royce: Yes, a fine turn out...

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: laughs :: CTO: You select one, and I will join in.

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::grins at the XO:: XO: thank you, Sir...the pleasure was mine.

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: I travel in good company. Plus we have installed a Gagh Tank and have all the bloodwine we need.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: That helps, no doubt

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Grins ::  Trelan:  No, you haven't yet.  She'll be excited to know you are here

Capt_Trelan says:
Royce: When we were married, we were on the Vesuvius, and it was a small affair. And I left for the Pharaoh shortly after that.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: laughs:: Turok/CTO: Perhaps... perhaps we should stop now, I fear we will be expelled! ::laughs::

CTO_q`vort says:
::laughs::

Capt_Trelan says:
Royce: Yea...it will be nice to finally meet the woman where my wife got all her good looks from.

Admiral_Royce says:
Trelan:  I know...so...this is the perfect time for you to meet her

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: Do you know a song called the Minstral Boy?

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Giggles ::

Ens_Mia_Clooney says:
::starts to get sleepy and yawns.  Stands up and slips out quietly::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: shakes head :: CTO: The Minstrel boy? I'm afraid I've never heard that one, is it Klingon?

Capt_Trelan says:
:: smiles and stands :: Royce: Shall we make the best of your free time, Admiral? :: grins wide ::

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: Irish. One of my security offficers taught it to me.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: Well, let's hear it, man!

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Smiles at Trelan ::   Trelan:  Captain???   Is aware eyes could be upon them...

CTO_q`vort says:
All:The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him!

Host Admiral_Kelley says:
::gets a refill of coffee and steps again into the middle of the room:: All: may I have your attention please.  This is your ten minute call. ::smiles and goes to a table to sit and watch the crowd interact::

CTO_q`vort says:
All:"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy right shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

Ens_Turok says:
::Thinking the Captain may be right, but if the captain goes at least I will be in good company::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: laughs as his eyes dart from table to table :: Royce: I simply meant a tour of...your ship. :: shakes head :: Yes, your ship.

CTO_q`vort says:
All:The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's steel
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!

CTO_q`vort says:
All:The minstrel boy will return, we pray,
When we hear the news we all will cheer it.
The minstrel boy will return one day,
Torn perhaps in body, not in spirit.
Then may he play on his harp in peace,
In a world such as Heaven has intended,
For all the bitterness of man must cease,
And every battle must be ended!

CO_Capt_Woo says:
CTO: A beautiful dirge. ::slams his mug against his and takes a gulp::

Admiral_Royce says:
:: Laughs lightly, her eyes dancing ::   Trelan: It would be a pleasure to show you around my ship, Captain...

CTO_q`vort says:
::gulps also::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: playfully remembers the time he took command of "her ship" ::

CTO_q`vort says:
CO: Perhaps one day I will visit your ship. And may we drink till we can't stand!

Ens_Turok says:
::Wonders where the barrels of bloodwyne are::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: laughs :: CTO: I do not usually drink this much... yet today it tastes so sweet, and the song so strong, that I find I do not wish to stop!

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: leans forward :: CTO: Thankfully, it is merely synthehol... I think.

CTO_q`vort says:
