***********************************************************************************************************

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks up and grins:: Welcome Commander.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
It's been a while.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles as she walks in::  Hello Commander.  It has been a long time indeed. ::walks over and shakes her hand::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes Sykora's hand:: How are those kids of yours?  You have 3...right?

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
They are wonderful. ::smiles:: The oldest is at that age when he gets into everything.  How are your little ones?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: Older, bigger, louder and smarter. ::grins::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Quite a combination. ::Smiles::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::waves the Lt over::  Ko'Bil: Come let me introduce you.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
It's the way of all young ones to grow into that. ::looks curiously at the Lt heading towards them::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::enters the room and moves over to the Cmdr:: Cmdr: Hello Cmdr.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Ltjg: Hello.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Mrlr: Cmdr Mrlr, this is the operations officer, Lt. Ko'Bil, aboard the Arondight... my most recent post.

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
LtCmdr: It is good to meet you. :: offers his hand::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::holds out a paw back to him and shakes his hand:: Lt...a pleasure.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the both of them and grins:: I heard that that grumpy old half-Klingon moved over as CO of your ship.  Does she still have that whip I've heard stories about?

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
LtCmdr: If she does I have not seen it yet.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Whip? ::looks curiously at Mrlr having never heard such stories::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: Walks in and sees Mrlr, sits down with a big mischievous grin on his face ::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: Just a rumor I heard was going around the academy.  I'm sure the Lt has heard it. ::looks up and sees Grey-feather enter and starts to purr before she could stop herself::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::sees their CTO enter:: CTO: It is good to see you.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::notices the look on the CTO and Mrlr reaction... merely closes her eyes and shakes her head::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Ko’Bil: Good to see you too, well without a console in front of us and being shot at :: grins ::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
LtCmdr: Yes Cmdr I have heard the rumor however the captain name was never mentioned.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Hunter: Hi Commander, how are you today?

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Mrlr: i take it you know the Lt?

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: I am well.  How about yourself?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: with a big grin :: Hunter: Things are looking up

Capt_McKnight says:
::enters the room::

Capt_McKnight says:
:: sits in the back seat::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins widely:: Tarrez: You could say that, Commander. ::smiles again at Grey-feather before going to get her notes collected together::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
:: sees the Captain from his last lecture:: Capt: It is good to see you again.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::uncharacteristically flustered a bit:: All: If you'll take your seats, I think I need to start this lecture.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::goes to sit beside her CTO::  CTO: ::Whispers:: Which of you should I warn off? ::smirks::

Capt_McKnight says:
Ko’Bil: Nice to see you again and thanks again for a wonderful lecture

Capt_McKnight says:
::looks up at the speaker::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: keeps smiling :: Hunter: What do you mean?

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::takes a seat and waits for the lecture to begin::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::simply chuckles lightly and turns her attention up front::

Capt_McKnight says:
Ko’Bil: ::whispers:: What ship do you serve on again?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::walks up to the podium and tries to look over it with her slender five foot tall frame.  Grins, shrugs and walks around to the front, her tail swaying gently back and forth as she speaks::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::Whispers back:: Capt: the Arondight sir.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Special Operations....those two words can conjure up a multitude of mental images and feelings.  Excitement, awe, fear.  It is a role and a function that is glamorized by the media.  All Special OPS personnel must be brave and strong and manly, right?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins and indicates her lithe 5 foot frame:: So what is a little bitty kitty cat doing talking about and participating in Special Operations. Good question. ::grins:: And the answer is...the media is wrong. I will now pause for the gasps of disbelief and dismay.

Capt_McKnight says:
Ko’Bil: ::whispers:: Nice ship. :: notices the lecture is starting and return his attention to the speaker::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Hunter: Sorry to take away your fun commander but Elizabeth knows about Mrlr and about Caitian rituals.  Her words were 'fine go and see your other woman'.  She is understanding.

Capt_McKnight says:
::wonders if Section 31 is part of Special Ops::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Special OPS does require, for some positions, more brawn than brain.  But for most of the positions it is this ::taps her skull with her paw:: that is your most important weapon.  Whether it be extraction, elimination, disposal or Intel...your mind, your knowledge is what is important.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::whisper backs to the CTO::  Brave, strong manly men don't hurt to have around. ::smirks::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::settles in and listen to the speaker::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Let's go over a scenario and see how finesse, stealth and a little knowledge is just as if not more important than brawn. ::gives the CTO a little wink::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Hunter: Well I try to be around as often as possible you see :: grins and watches Mrlr::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::sits down demurely on the edge of the stage and lets her feet hang down::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
A galaxy class starship has been taken over by hostiles who have gained access to the command codes.  The senior officers are being held in the brig and all personnel are in lock down in their quarters.  Your job is to retake the ship by any means necessary.  Casualties must be kept to a minimum.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
There are 75 hostiles spread out through the ship.  They have full access to all systems and functions.  They have stated no demands or ransom and have refused to speak to anyone.  The origin of the hostiles is unknown.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Sensors indicate that they have placed a transporter inhibitor around the entire ship and shields are up with weapons charged.  The hostiles are a mixture of humanoids from a multitude of species.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Records indicate that there are over one thousand Starfleet personnel and families on board.  What would be your plan of attack?

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Stealth boarding the ship. Maybe in environmental suits

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::raises hand::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
McKnight: but how would you get on board?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::points to the Lt:: Yes Lt?

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Through airlocks?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::sees the captain enter and smiles a welcome to him before turning back to the rest::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Mrlr: Cmdr are the communications still intact?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Lt: As far as we know...yes.

Capt_McKnight says:
::sees the other captain and nods::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: raises hand ::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
McKnight: That is surely a viable option.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Yes Lt?

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Mrlr: Then I would try and take over the ship by remote control using the ships access codes.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: Is the ship underway or at station holding

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods at Ko’Bil’s comment and thinks back to the question McKnight asked him earlier::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Ko'Bil: That would certainly be something to attempt.  but if they have full access to all systems...the chances are...they changed or disabled the codes.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: They are dead in space...for the moment.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to Mrlr::

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Do we know what species they are?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: If the ship is dead in space what about making entry through the plasma vents.  They are only active if the ship is under way

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All: One possibility to help you get one of those covert teams onto the ship would be to flood the area with ions to disrupt shields and sensors... of course ours would be affected as well.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
McKnight: Various species, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Humans...::grins:: even a few Caitians.  Plus a few other humanoid species.

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Then infiltration would be easier

Capt_McKnight says:
::ponders about the situation::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
All: Actually the CTO and Captain are correct...gaining access to the ship would have to be done through either the plasma vents or airlocks.  But wouldn't a shuttle or any other craft be noticed flying towards the captured ship?

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: I would think so. What about have people float over there in EVAs? Are they small enough not to be detected?

Capt_McKnight says:
::wonders::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::wonders if people can hear her::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: Beam the entry team near the ship and let them approach with thruster packs

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods:: That would work.

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Mrlr: Cmdr Hunter’s suggestion would take care of the sensor while a shuttle piloted manually could approach the ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Enters conference room , late as usual::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods thankfully at the Lt::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
All: Maybe sealing the vents behind you to prevent the ship from getting under way :: looks up at Mrlr for approval ::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::nod:: Yes, Commander, my apologies.  That is a viable solution.  But we have to remember that stealth is extremely important right now.  If we were to flood the area with the particles...they would know we were trying something and would be on guard.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
True.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Again...that would be noticeable.  :;stands up and paces a bit::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
All: We have to make certain that the majority of the kidnappers doesn't realize that a rescue is being held.  that increases our chances enormously against the greater odds.   Especially when you think that a team of ten to twelve would probably be it for the rescue party.

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Do we know what kind of clothing the kidnappers wear?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Aloud: Well that seems to put me back under the heading brawn again.  :: when Mrlr looks he flexes on arm at her ::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Mrlr: Wouldn't it be easer to try and only get one or two people on the ship?

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods at Ko’Bil’s comment::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head at McKnight:: No Captain...we don’t.  ::bares her teeth slightly at the CTO and answers the Lt:: Yes Lt...the smaller the team the better...but I don't think that one or two people can do the job adequately, don't you?  There is a lot of real estate to cover in a starship of that size.

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: True. If we don't know what they wear, then having our party act as one of them would be difficult to pull off. Maybe impossible

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Mrlr: True however you first priority would be to release some of the crew which could help you retake the ship.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Funny you should say that, Lt...because I was just about to come to that part of the scenario. ::grins::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
We have the senior officers in the brig and the personnel locked in their quarters.  Whom do we rescue first?

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Personnel that knows to how operate the environmental controls?

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Senior officers will be harder to get to and more chance of being noticed if they were to disappear.  I would say the personnel in their quarters.

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Mrlr: The senior officer should be your first priority.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::points to the Captain and the Cmdr:: They are correct.  Although the senior officers are important....they would be presumably held under the closest guard.  By freeing the personnel...we have gained an advantage in the numbers.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: So getting to the engineers, operations staff, and any security people would be preferable?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods:: If I were in that situation, that's what I would do.  Of course, if there was a chance to rescue the senior officers first, for example...they inadequately guarded them.  Then that would be the course of action.  But because of the inhibitors...Intel is not one hundred specific as to the location of the hostiles.

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
ALL: Seeing as how all the personnel are spread out across the ship, it may be easier to spring the Senior Staff out of the brig, even if it is more guarded.

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Could we open all the doors at once?

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
Capt: That would only be possible if you could gain control of the computer core.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods to Bauer:: Again...that may be the more viable option.  But upon first entry...until things are discovered otherwise, it is assumed that the senior officers would be more heavily guarded than the personnel.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Capt: Not without someone noticing... and that would mean a higher death toll

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
McKnight: You could but, wouldn't it be a Senior Staff member who had clearance enough to over ride security codes to open all the doors?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
All: That does bring up a point that I want to emphasis.

Capt_McKnight says:
::thinks::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Someone once said that even the best laid plans for any operation or battle will work...for the very first step.  And then it all goes to hell in a hand basket.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods thoughtfully at her own Intel experience::

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Would it then be advisable to have several plans? Plan A through Plan Z?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
So one you are in an operation...or any situation...you have to be prepared to change directions...quickly and often.

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
ALL: Then it would be best to keep a rescue simple and with the fewest rescuers.  Lessing the chance of something going wrong.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
McKnight: You can...and we often do have several scenarios and alternatives for each situation.  but it all comes back to your training.

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
And in Special OPS you are always training.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: So planning on the 'fly' is an instinct you must have to be specials OPOS

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: It helps...but being solid in your skills, your knowledge and training and especially in the integration of how well your team works together is extremely important.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Just as an aside, this scenario was adapted from a real life situation that the old Earth British SAS used for training scenarios.  Although they used what they called 'cruise ships' that floated on the ocean instead of starships. :;grins::

Capt_McKnight says:
::looks up with interest::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: No playing cowboys and Indians out there then ?  :: grins mischievously as no one will probably get the joke ::

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Mrlr: So, how did they resolve this scenario?

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Did they swim aboard the ships?

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Or did they use boats?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles at Grey-feather:: I believe they were able to rescue the hostages and dispatch the hostiles with only a 5% loss of life among both the hostages and hostiles.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the clock and sees it is coming onto the hour::

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Mrlr: And is 5% a acceptable loss?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
For that scenario it was.  But after studying the British SAS...I can assure you they continuously strove to do better.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks around the room::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
As we've seen, Special Operations is more than just barging in with phasers blazing and rescuing someone.  It requires stealth and intelligence gathering.  It requires the talents and skills of a dozen different personnel  for just one mission.

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Mrlr: Glad to hear that.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Anyone can be in Special OPS.  As long as they have the desire and the commitment to dedicate themselves and their career to a lifetime of learning and training.  Training goes on every day for as long as a officer is with a unit.

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Just curious, what does SAS stand for?

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
McKnight: Special Air Services...although they were the premiere special OPS for the British land, air and sea.

Capt_McKnight says:
::nods with interest::

Capt_McKnight says:
::makes a note to read up on Earth's History::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
For Special OPS,  Classes and seminars are held weekly.  Physical training is held daily.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Many times you cannot mention what you have done that day, even to your spouse or loved one.  And you always take the chance of dying alone on some remote planet for a cause and reason that you will never know.

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
ALL: Training and learning everyday is good advice for all positions in and out of Starfleet, huh?

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
So why become a member of Special OPS?  Because it can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.  And the most important reason of all is that you will have made a difference.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::closes her eyes and sighs::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Maybe no one will ever know about your participation in an event.  You won't get a medal or a commendation.  You won't get praise and parades...but you will know right here ::puts her paw on her chest over her heart:: You will know that in your lifetime, you made a difference.

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: Where do I sign up? ::smiles::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins at McKnight::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
I see my time is up so I want to thank everyone for coming here and for your participation.

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::gives up some applause for the lecturer::

Capt_McKnight says:
Mrlr: thanks for a wonderful lecture

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::wonders if she did really make a difference::

Capt_McKnight says:
::joins in applause::

Lea says:
::Slips in through the back door just in time to hear the closing::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::smiles her thanks at the applause::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::claps her hands too::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: applauds and smiles at Mrlr:

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::gather up his PADD and rises:: Mrlr: Thank you Cmdr this was quite interesting.

Capt_McKnight says:
::gathers his PADDs and notes and stands up::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::notices a new person entering the room::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Lea! ::stands and rushes to hug the woman::

CNS_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Stands and walks toward the exit::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: gets and walks up to the stage and leans on it ::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
Ko'Bil: Thank you for attending and participating.

Doctor_Lea says:
::Startled a moment, but smiles and returns Sykora's hug:: Tarrez-Hunter: Hey..!

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::passes by the CTO and Cmdr Hunter:: CTO/Cmdr: Well I need to get back to the ship and make sure that nobody has messed any thing up.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
It is so good to see you.  How long has it been... 3... 4 years?

Capt_McKnight says:
::Straightens his uniform and looks around for a moment::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Ko’Bil: See you back on the ship then

Doctor_Lea says:
::Spots and recognizes McKnight from across the room, but says nothing::

LtJG_Ko`Bil says:
::walks out of the room::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
::smiles :: Mrlr: Nice lecture kitty

Doctor_Lea says:
Tarrez: Um...  ::Closes her eyes a moment to think:: Yes, about that. Three years, nine months.

Capt_McKnight says:
::sees a Dr. and saw that she recognizes him, but he didn't for some reason::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks down at Grey-feather and tilts her head towards him as if to ask if he was staying:: CTO: Why thank you, Lt Grey-feather.

Capt_McKnight says:
::walks over to the doctor::

Capt_McKnight says:
Lea: Greetings Dr... ?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: offers her a hand to get off the stage :: Mrlr: Any plans for dinner?

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::makes way for the Capt.::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::Puts her soft paw in his and shakes her head:: None at all.  The children are back at the house and this was my last lecture.  ::jumps down lightly to the floor next to him::

Doctor_Lea says:
::Offers her hand:: McKnight: Doctor Lea, Sir.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: Then would you join for the evening?

Capt_McKnight says:
::looks at the Cmdr and noticed that he had intruded:: Cmdr: My apologies. Lea: ::shakes her hand:: Captain McKnight. Pleasure to meet you

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins up at him and starts to purr:: I thought you would never ask. ::glances back at the CSO:: but don't you need to return to your ship?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: My next shift is not till alpha.  The night is mine...well ours.  Besides I have found some things you might find very interesting :: grins::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::her purr gets louder and can be heard throughout the room:: my, my...have you now?

Doctor_Lea says:
::Smiles:: McKnight: Thank you, Captain. If I may ask, which is your ship?

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hears the purring and looks with a grimace at the CTO and Mrlr::

Capt_McKnight says:
Lea: I serve aboard the USS Perseus, a Nova Class Variant in the 7th Fleet. What about you?

Capt_McKnight says:
Cmdr: John McKnight, pleasure to meet you too, Cmdr ?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: Yes I have, you are no longer an orphan...well I at least now what planet you are from

Doctor_Lea says:
McKnight: Actually between assignments currently.

Doctor_Lea says:
McKnight: By the way, Captain, I apologize for seeming to stare when I first entered the room. For a moment, I took you for someone else.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles::  Cmdr: Cmdr Tarrez-Hunter, CSO of the Arondight.  Former XO of the Delphyne.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::catches the look from the CSO and leans in:: I don't think your commander approves of .....what?  You found what?

Capt_McKnight8 says:
::smiles back:: nice to meet you, Cmdr and ::offers handshake::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::accepts it::

Doctor_Lea says:
Tarrez: Commander, where are you serving now?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: My commander doesn't approve on my social activities.  But then I am not spending the evening with her :: smiles ::.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Lea: The USS Arondight, K'Beth is her CO now.

Capt_McKnight8 says:
::checks the chronometer and notices that he needs to get back to his ship soon::

Capt_McKnight8 says:
Hunter/Lea: Well I got to be going now before my ship leaves without me. Nice to meet you both

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins and lightly runs a claw softly along his cheek:: Then let's go talk about this wonderful news you found and just how what your commander disapproves of. ::her purr still echoing throughout the room::

Capt_McKnight8 says:
Mrlr: Thanks again for a wonderful lecture

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the Capt::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
Mrlr: Well for one thing you are not the first of your people to come to earth, the first ones came about 700 ad

Capt_McKnight says:
::heads towards the door::

Doctor_Lea says:
McKnight: A pleasure, Captain.  ::Nods good-bye and turns to Sykora::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::waves to McKnight as he leaves:: Thank you Captain.

Capt_McKnight says:
::leaves::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Lea: Sad... he thinks his ship might leave him... its captain... here.

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::chuckles::

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the others and shakes her head:: CTO: Not here...let's go back to my quarters. ::leads him towards the door::

Doctor_Lea says:
::Chuckles::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:Takes her paw on his arm and follows her to the door :: Mrlr: Of course  :: smiles dashingly ::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Lea: I'm sorry that we just connected at the end of this conference.  I would have liked to visited with you more.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: looks back over his shoulder :: Hunter : Goodnight commander :: smiles and exits with Mrlr ::

Doctor_Lea says:
Tarrez: Well, perhaps our paths will cross next year.

Host LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
::smiles at Sykora too as they leave::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles at the two and shakes her head::  CTO/Mrlr: Bye.

Capt_Durron says:
::enters quietly than due to deductive reasoning figures out that the seminar is over::

Host Jeeves says:
::enters the room and begins to tidy up, waiting patiently to close it::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Lea: Perhaps. I would love to hear how things have been going for you.

Capt_Durron says:
::strolls quietly out the door that he came in::

Doctor_Lea says:
::Shakes her head a bit:: Tarrez: My story would probably bore you. Perhaps by next year there will be something to tell.  ::Smiles::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Then I look forward to it. ::smiles::  I must be off now however.

Doctor_Lea says:
Tarrez: Good journey.  ::Offers her hand to shake good-bye::

Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::shakes her hand and leaves::

Doctor_Lea says:
::Looks surreptitiously about the room a moment, then slips out as quietly as she entered::
