XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He straightens his dress uniform and picks up a PADD off a nearby console surface. He looks down at the red of his uniform and shakes his head in a near disgust. Little does his know how badly the blue and red clash together to make him look like a painted clown::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Puts the finishing touches on her dress uniform.  The four pips still don't seem natural on her collar::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Yet another day on Hais ... the still battered station AR-439 awaits the arrival of some new residents ... from various places.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Finally satisfied, she picks up a PADD with the cultural survey, and heads out the door::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::finishes putting on his dress uniform.. still a bit upset about the look of the uniform.. what good is a Chief Engineer at a diplomatic function anyway::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He dusts off spots on his uniform and look around command and control. He looks down at the days itinerary and sighs:: Self: The Haisian delegation...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Yet another beautiful day [in fact, they've noted a lack of bad days in the last week since their arrival] ... the early morning sunshine promises some warmth in the chilled climate of the mountain range.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::winding through the twisting corridors, Thelsh makes it to the TL and punches for C&C::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::rides the bumpy, noisy TL, reading the PADD once more::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::leaves his quarters, heading to level 3 to double-check the arrangements for the delegation in the meeting hall::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks down at his red uniform and sighs. He's wondering what sort of impression they are going to make on the Haisians - and can only pray that is is a acceptable one. He pauses momentarily as he hears a lift approaching and he turns to greet whoever is arriving in C&C::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
@ ::sits in the back of the shuttle, rubbing her temple::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
@ ::manning a station near the front of the shuttle::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
@::in shuttle reading a padd with information about AR-439 on it::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:

@::perks her ears:: Self: It feels like we're slowing down.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Perks up at the familiar voice:: BO: Who was that?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He smiles as the blue skinned Andorian steps into C&C. He looks her over once and then notices the medical officer enter:: CO: Good morning Captain, I take it you are well today?

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Exits the TL into C&C::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Absently nods acknowledgement to the XO, while moving over to the base ops console::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Follows alongside the Captain:: CO: I would assume the pilot of the Waymire...sir...why does it matter?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Base Ops> Comm: Abertura to Waymire... approach on vector 245 and follow the landing beacon.

@::looks at the other people in the shuttle:: Self: I forgot how sick these shuttles make me ::grabs her duffel::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
@::hears the LtCdr's announcement and places his padd back in his travel case::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::satisfied with the look of the Meeting Hall, he proceeds to the Lift, taking it up to C&C::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Is almost shocked at the Captain's actions and does his best to stabilize the Klingon officer before he falls out of his chair. He walks over to the medic with a smile:: CMO: Hello Ensign...how are you this fine day?

LtCdr_Everitt says:
@ COMM: Thelsh: Affirmative Abertura Station, this is Lahn Everitt arriving for temporary assignment.

LtCdr_Everitt says:
@ ::leans back, smiling from ear to ear, barely able to contain himself::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As the shuttle comes around the Jem'Hadar Station before them on the plateau, they can see a steady line of people walking up an ancient path toward the station ... they seem to be coming from the city itself.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
COMM: Lahn: You sly devil you...  We will be awaiting your arrival...

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Walks up to the XO:: XO: Morning Commander

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
:;straightens his uniform and looks over the security personnel before facing the incomers::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::arrives in C&C, walks up to a console, checking various power levels::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
@ ::keeps up the act:: COMM: Thelsh: Negative Abertura Station, no sly devils here.  Everitt out.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::turns to her blue XO and tall, TALL CMO:: Both: Do you know who that is?  That is my...  My friend from the Quirinus.  LtCmdr Everitt, the CEO of the Q.

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
@::sits in his seat, staring forward anticipating the landing::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
@::makes a face:: Self: Devils? ::shakes her head::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Both: Wonder what he is doing here?  Cmdr, did you get any reports of special assigned crew for the station?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks over to the half-breed and then back to the slightly shorter Andorian with a wide smiles:: CO: I understand...::Smiles::...I'm sure you'll be quite glad to see him...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The shuttle lands on the tarmac without a bump.

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
CO: Understood, it will be good to see your old friend

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
@::great sigh of relief as the shuttle touches down::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
@::begins to grab his belongings to depart the shuttlecraft::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::moves the shuttle into its spot and moves to the back, exiting the shuttle with the others::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO,CMO: Lets go greet our new crew, and then get ready for the delegation.

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::stays near Captain Thelsh, but watches the delegation, content to leave Tekev to deal with the shuttle::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::climbs out of the shuttle clutching her duffel nervously::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::enters TL and soon is walking out to the tarmac and the landed shuttle::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks down at taps several commands into his PADD as he heads towards the lift:: CO: Not that I have received from Command...however Captain, I must remind you that the Haisian delegation is scheduled to arrive any moment...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A steady stream of approximately thirty-four Haisian men, women and children approach the Station from the path they've exited.

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
XO: Commander, I have been able to get two bio beds up and running along with the computer in my office.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::overhears the Captain, decides to follow them::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::exits the shuttle, following behind Kedi::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Hears the XO and remembers he needs to be in his Class A Uniform::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::feels the slight breeze whipping the cuffs of his pants a little as he watches the delegation in silence, hands behind his back::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::gulps and flicks her ears back as she looks around::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He taps that into his PADD and enters the lift:: CMO: That's excellent Ensign...I'll assign a team to get the network connections working...now if you'll excuse me...::Goes back to his PADD::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::reaches the hangar, approaching the shuttle, along with the XO and CO::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
XO: Aye ::Turns and heads to the TL so he can get into his class A Uniform::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::On the tarmac, she notices the line of people coming out of the mountain, down a path... Growling, she turns to her XO: XO: They're here... #@$%.  Ok... We meet them at the main entrance.

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::with a large luggage bag, he exits the large shuttle door, squinting slightly from the daylight::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::looks over at the other people that were in the shuttle with her, then back at the station::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He follows behind the Captain. Though she may be short, he notes her expediency, and notes to check into Andorian physiology. Can they really walk that fast? He does his best to catch up to her, PADD in hand::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Captain, may I make a suggestion?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CSEC* Mr. Dallas.  Have the Honor Guard meet the delegation at the station parameter and escort them to the main entrance.  We will greet them there.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The crew get their first views of the Haisians ... a yellow-skinned humanoid species. Those who have certain open clothing can be seen as having several holes along their neckline.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: What is it Mr. Hixxan?

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Understood ma'am. ::gestures for two of the smartly-dressed Starfleet security officers to follow him::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: All of the Haisians are seemingly carrying supplies ... clothing ... etc. and approach the main entrance where four Klingon guards stand. One of them draws his dk'tagh, just in case.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Takes he shoulders and points her in the direction of their new CIV, and Everitt:: CO: Deal with your...friend...I'll deal with Haisians...

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::nervously whips her tail behind her as her fingers clutching her duffel get sore and the knuckles turn white::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Enters his room and begins to change into his Class A's::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::off to the side, seemingly oblivious to the Captain and XO::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::slips past the Klingon guards, glaring hard at the drawn weapon and approaches the Haisians with open hands:: Delegation: Welcome to Abertura Station.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: One of the Haisians approaches the Klingon, and there is a momentary discussion between the two ... the Klingon states something, and re-iterates it with a stern statement.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He walks off and does his best to get to the main entrance before the Klingons can botch this up:: CEO: Lt. Lambert...you're with me...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Klingon Guard One> CSEC: They are not the delegation ...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Glances toward the shuttle and Lahn:: XO: I would like too... but not today... not for the first meeting.  Lahn will understand.  Send a crewman to direct them to some quarters then have them meet us in the conference room for lunch with the delegates.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
XO Hixxan:  Aye sir.. ::follows him::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
Guard1: Then what are they?

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::now within sight of the 'welcoming committee', he keeps his steady pace::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Before the Guard can further explain, the thirty-somethin' Haisians begin to deposit their food, clothing, etc. which they have carried all the way up here before the Guards and Starfleet personnel. As soon as they deposit it, they turn and begin to walk back down the path they came up. Without saying another word.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::As he walks off he hears the Captain's orders and taps it into his PADD, sending for an officer to be sent to greet Lieutenant Kedi. He marches off to the main entrance with best possible speed, and straightens his uniform en route::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves to the Atrium, awaiting the delegation to be brought to her::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::trying to keep up with the XO, wondering how many lungs Bolians have::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Klingon Guard One> CSEC: Apparently they were here to ... bestow us with these ... gifts. ::Barks orders in Klingon to his fellows, who immediately approach the deposited "supplies" to check for bombs ... the Klingons being as paranoid as ever::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::looks at the dropped things and raises an eyebrow:: *CO*: Captain, we have something of a situation.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stops at the entrance of the station and looks out at the backs of the Haisians:: CEO: Do keep up Lieuten - ::He pauses and looks in disbelief:: CSEC: What the hell happened...::He looks at the supplies, and the departing Haisians::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The last of the thirty-something Haisians deposit their "gifts," and begin the journey back down to the city. However, three male Haisians are left. One is draped in somewhat "elegant" yet native clothing ... he steps forward.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CSEC* What is it?

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::looks down as her fingers hurt and puts the duffel over her head, letting it hand just above her hip as she trotted toward the station::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::notices the one approaching:: *CO*: Standby, Captain.

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
Everitt: Commander, we have been waiting here for 10 minutes, 39.3 seconds. Odd that no one has come to greet us yet.

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
H-man: Welcome... again.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He pauses and looks around confused. He notices the yellow skinned alien approaching him and bows slightly:: Syarta: Welcome to Abertura station, I am Lieutenant Commander Oitan Hixxan, the Federation Executive Officer. ::He smiles::

Host Syarta says:
ALL: Greetings, I am Syarta. I am the Trade representative sent from the High Echelons ...

Host Syarta says:
CSEC: Again?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::stops behind the XO, seeing the man approaching.. he is dressed in very elegant clothing::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
ASO: Well... they are-- ::is interrupted by a nervous Ensign, who proceeds to direct them to their quarters::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::turns and looks at the guys:: Sovek, Everitt: Are we supposed to just stand right there? ::starts to walk back::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Ens Smith>: Civ/Lahn/ASO: Welcome to Abertura... the Captain sent me to take you to some quarters.. we have a delegation of locals coming today and the Captain wants you to come to the dinner that is planned for later.

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
Syarta: My error, excuse me. ::doesn't smile, not knowing how they take that gesture::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Syarta: Greetings...::He pauses momentarily and looks around at the supplies:: Syarta: I apologize, but it was our understanding that your entire delegation would be joining us for a meal in the station...the departure of your delegation may have confused my officers...

Host Syarta says:
::Nods:: XO: Well then, now that introductions have been made ... shall we proceed on?

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Exits his room and heads to the TL::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Enters the TL and punches the button for Level 1::

Host Syarta says:
::Gestures to the two other Haisians behind him:: XO: This is the entirety of my delegation. For now, Commander Hixxan.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Smiles and motions to the honor guard and Ensign Dallas:: Syarta: That is quite acceptable, if you will please follow me...our honor guard will escort us to the Atrium where our Commanding Officer is waiting for you...

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::follows the ensign through the halls of Abertura Station::

Host Syarta says:
::Nods ... doing his best to form a smile as he & the remainder of his delegation follow::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::follows the ensign::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CSEC/XO* I am waiting, gentlemen...

Host Syarta says:
<Klingon Guards> ::Warily watch them pass::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::looks at the Klingons, the Starfleet security officers, and Dallas.. wondering what little action would be needed to set them off::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
:;steps out ahead and leads the way while the other two guards fall in behind Syarta and Hixxan::

Host Syarta says:
<Klingon Guard One> CSEC: What about these ... ::Gestures to the food, etc. left at the front gates::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::walks behind Everitt, looking around at the station::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Proceeds to the delegation::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::remembers at the last moment:: *CO*: The delegation has arrived, Captain. We will be inside the station momentarily.

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::almost shrugs, but doesn't know what that means in Haisian either:: Guard1: Bring it inside, have Lieutenant Jadahn check it over. He will probably just give it to you.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Smith leads the 3 new crew through the battered halls.  damage is noticeable everywhere, with stains on the walls and floors that look remarkably like organic material...::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He turns on his heels and motions for Lambert to fall in beside him:: Syarta: This, is Lieutenant Michael Lambert...our stations Chief Engineer. I am sure that he will be very keen on discussing supplies and trades with your delegation...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CSEC* Very well.  I will meet them at the atrium.

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Falls in behind the others::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::whispers to self:: Is that mold? ::makes a face::

Host Syarta says:
::Attempt at smile again:: XO: I'm glad to hear it. The Echelons are most interested in establishing trade with the Federation and her worlds ... we have heard so much about you. Although, I must admit, at times it has not been pleasant news ... ::Nervous glances at the Jem'Hadar technology ... wondering if the stone-cold killers are around::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::raises an eyebrow as he sees the condition the station is in while he follows the ensign::

Host Syarta says:
<Klingon Guards> ::Mumble and begin to have the stuff gathered::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: It is a pleasure to meet you sir. ::not sure if he should offer to shake hands or not::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
*CO*: Yes ma'am. Dallas out. ::taps his badge off and lengthens his stride toward the main blast doors::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::turns to the CIV officer, on permanent assignment:: CIV: Home sweet home, as they say.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Ens. Smith> ::Smith finally deposits the 3 new crew at several rooms along one hallway.:: ASO/CIV/Lahn: The delegation has just arrived.  The captain will meet with them and then we will have lunch.  Please take a few minutes to freshen up and then I will lead you to the conference room for lunch

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Smiles, and is sure that Syarta and him will get along well for the time:: Syarta: I am sure that the Jem’Hadar had no higher opinions of the Federation, then we had of them. However we are now at peace, and that is behind us...the United Federations of Planets is eager to open negotiations with Hais and your people...

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::nervously:: Everitt: Yeah.

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
Ensign Smith: What is the dress for lunch?

Host Syarta says:
XO: To be honest, I never have heard the Jem'Hadar ... the few times that I actually saw them ... utter a word. It was mostly their Vorta ... was his name Laevon?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Smith>ASO: It is class A, dress uniform'

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Brushes a piece of dirt off his shirt as he listens to the XO::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::throws his personal luggage into the room, without even stepping foot inside, then waits in the hall, smiling at the young ensign::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::feels the oppression once he passes under the archway into the station and stops to wait on the others:: Syarta: The captain is waiting inside.

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::inclines his head slightly to the ensign then enters his room to deposit his things::

Host Syarta says:
::Looks around ... and steps forward to the doors of the Atrium::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Standing around, waiting impatiently...:: Self: I hate waiting...

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Syarta: Ah yes, Mr. Laevon, then you have had the opportunity to meet our resident Vorta. Quite an interesting fellow...did the Haisians have a great deal of interaction with the Dominion? ::He moves into the Atrium, and notes the presence of the Andorian CO::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::almost walks into the door before she realizes it's not going to open for her, then sighs and pushes the panel next to the door::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::his smile suddenly vanishes:: SMITH: Excuse me?  Dress uniform?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::sees the XO and delegation arrive at the atrium:: Self: that is all of them?

Host Syarta says:
ACTION: The Atrium is a combination of dark and light. The combination of Haisian & alien flora filters the allowed sunlight inward ... it is a mysterious, "magical" place.

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::throws her duffel on the bed and sits down next to it, sighing loudly::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Smith>Lahn: Uhh, yes Commander.  It is a diplomatic event.  If you do not have a uniform available, I can see what I can find, but no guarantees on the fit.

Host Syarta says:
::Steps in and approaches the Starfleet personnel he sees nearby::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Almost guessing what the Captain is thinking he nods to her with a smile:: Self: This is them...all three of them...::He thinks to himself as they approach Thelsh::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::smiles at an idea and offers the captain a slight bow:: CO: Captain Thelsh, His Honor, Syarta of the Hais people.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::follows the delegation into the Atrium, staying near the back of the group... out of the way::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::rubs his forehead:: Smith: Do you have a working replicator?  Wait... you're about my height...

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::finds an empty bunk and makes sure the door is shut before he meticulously removes his duty uniform, replacing the dress uniform in his case with it as he changes uniforms::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::about to take a nap, then remembers about the special dinner and opens her duffel::

Host Syarta says:
CO: And you would be Captain Thelsh?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Nod acknowledgment to the CSEC, and a slight bow to Syarta:: Syarta: Welcome, sir. Starfleet and the Federation of Planets welcomes you to Abertura Station.  Yes sir, I am Capt Thelsh.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stands next to Syarta and Lambert and his eyes gaze around. It occurs to him that he has never been in the Atrium during the day, and is awe struck at the glittering, bright sensation that fills the room::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::throws clothes out, trying to find something that looks really nice for the dinner::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
<Smith> Lahn: Just a Klingon one, sir...

Host Syarta says:
::Wonders if all Starfleet command personnel are blue:: CO: With the rising sun comes hope for our futures intertwined, Captain Thelsh. I welcome you to Hais ... ::Slight nod / bow::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::laughs out loud:: Smith: Well, that would be fine, if I could convince everyone I was a Klingon.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Thank you, sir. ::returns the bow, same depth and style:: I also hope that our future is intertwined and fruitful for both our peoples.

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::walks a little farther ahead and summons the lift, holding it at Level one so no one else will try to use it while the captain finishes her greetings::

Host Syarta says:
CO: Shall we get onto business, then?

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::grabs the Ensign by the arm:: Smith: We're getting your dress uniform, now.

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::finds a nice looking velvet gown and throws it on, the looks around the room for a mirror. Finding none, she opens her door and steps out, relieved to see Everitt standing out in the hall:: Everitt: Umm...sir? Can I ask a favor of you?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Definitely.   We have prepare a meal.  Would you care to join us for lunch?

Host Syarta says:
CO: Lunch?

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Follows the delegation::

Host Syarta says:
<The Haisian Aides> ::Trade a look::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::stops and turns around in his tracks:: CIV: Yes, what it is?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: A mid day meal.

Host Syarta says:
::Realization creeps into his mind:: CO: Ah, I understand. Certainly ... why not.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Smiles at Syarta's lack of understand and steps in to explain and listens to Thelsh's explanation of the foreign custom::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::finishes dressing and exits into the hall, patiently standing outside his door waiting for the ensign::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::blushes:: Everitt: I don't have a dress uniform...and this is the niceist thing I have. Do you think it would be okay? ::steps out into the hallway::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::watches Syarta closely, but not suspiciously, occasionally glancing at his companions::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Very good.  This way if you would.  ::Sweeps her arm toward the conference room and lunch.  Falls in beside Syarta::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::sees Ensign Sovek exit:: ASO: We will both be back shortly. ::sounds very impatient::

Host Syarta says:
::Walks along with the Andorian Captain, gently brushing his hand through a Haisian Dimunic Plant which lets off a glittering dust in the aftermath::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::looks at Lieutenant Kedi in a beautiful dress:: CIV: Well its definitely ok by me but...

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::inclines his head slightly to the LtCdr, acknowledging his comment:: Everitt: Yes sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Walks slightly behind Thelsh and notices on of the Haisian beside him. He smiles lightly and notices the delegate trying to be unnoticed as he does his best to smile in return::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::tries not to stare at the holes in Syarta's neck.. hoping he'll never see them use their "sonic boom" defense mechanism::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: That is an interesting plant... what is it?

Host Syarta says:
::Stops:: CO: A dimunic plant ... beautiful things, especially when their dust is let off in the moonlight of a summer's eve. Unfortunately, they're hard to keep alive after blooming ... I suspect yours will be dead within the week.

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::turns his heal, ready to take off again, but then pauses:: CIV: You look beautiful, and if anyone has a problem with it, tell them to talk to me.

Host Syarta says:
<The Haisian Aides> ::Nod in understanding::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::sees Derel'Ikal deshroud next to Malogh and gets the nod from him::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::blushes:: Everitt: Y...yes sir

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Mine?

Host Syarta says:
<Haisian Aide One> ::Lets out a shout at the sudden de-shrouding Jem'Hadar::

Host Syarta says:
::Gestures to the plant he just touched:: CO: This on -- ::Pauses as his aide shouts::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Jumps at the shout, spinning around to see what was the cause::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::already charging down the hall, he hears the Lieutenant's shy response, and smiles to himself::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::looks around at the shriek, wondering what's going on so soon after their arrival::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::smiles now at the shout: Aide: It's okay, just one of the security personnel. ::glances:: The lift is waiting.

Host Syarta says:
<Haisian Aide Two> ::Turns to look at the sudden appearance of the Jem'Hadar ... a tremor to his movement::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Turns to see what is going on::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He gives a disapproving look to Dallas and the Jem’Hadar and catches him:: Delegation: I assure you there is nothing to concern yourself with...we are all friends here...

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
::looks over at Ens. Sovek::

Host Syarta says:
CO: You'll have to pardon my aides, Captain. The Jem'Hadar are more ... myth than fact to the Haisian people. Rarely were they seen unless you were in the service of the High Echelons. Shall we continue on?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::tries not to laugh out loud at the XO's choice of word.. "friends"...::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Glares at XO and CSEC:: Syarta: I am sorry for that.  Yes, please.  Let us continue.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Did you serve the High Echelon during the Dominion control of the station?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::glad no one is glaring at him... at least not today anyway::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
::dusts his polished shoes on the backs of his trousers quickly and follows the group into the lift::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
Sovek: Are you stationed here too?

Host Syarta says:
CO: I have spent about twenty years of my life in the service of the High Echelons ... it has been a great duty of mine. I could honestly not think much of doing else. How long have you served your Federation ... Echelons?

Host Syarta says:
::Approaches the lift::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Enters the TL, making room for everyone::

ASO_Ens_Sovek says:
::turns to face Kedi and nods slightly in the affirmative:: Kedi: Yes, for the foreseeable future.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Follows behind the Captain silently, he looks over at the terrified Haisians and notes the quivering in their hands::

Host Syarta says:
<The Haisian Aides> ::Enter the lift, but stay close to Syarta ... throwing occasional nervous glances at the ever calm Jem'Hadar::

CMO_Ens_Sattor says:
::Will catch the next Lift since this one is full::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta:: I have served in SF for many years.  But this is my first assignment to a station.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::enters the Lift, trying to remain invisible::

LtCdr_Everitt says:
::arrives at Ensign Smith's quarters, tries on the uniform, and after pinning up the pant legs, hurries back to his group with the ensign in tow::

CSEC_Ensign_Dallas says:
:;steps in last and reads off the camel hump digits:: All: Level-3. ::pushes the button and waits for the lift to rise as the doors close;:

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Exits lift and leads everyone into the dinning room/conference room::

CIV_Lt_Kedi says:
Sovek: Oh. Okay. Then I should introduce myself. I'm Kiz Kedi. ::smiles and extends her hand to shake:: Nice to meet you.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Please be seated.  Lunch is now being served.
