Host FM_Little_Goo says:
RECAP: The CoE have descended on Abertura like a swarm of locusts, reverse-engineering almost every system on the station making modifications to bring things up to Starfleet standards and allow for the integration of Federation technology.  Basically, everything is in pieces.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::slowly extends her hand, and grips Silver's firmly:: Chief: So Chief?  How soon till I have my station back?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Shakes the CO's hand with a light smile::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::is in the life sciences lab::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: Commander, I assume you heard everything I told the Captain? ::still worked up about Harris taking off in his ATWV::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::looks up at Hamilton, having been off in dreamland for a few minutes:: CVO: No, I'm sorry, I really wasn't paying attention

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::in the life science lab with Brock, looking around at what the CoE has done with "Brock's Labs"::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::still working his way up to C&C, hopefully avoiding any construction areas::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::figures she's going to catch hell for being so lax in not listening::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
CVO: What is it that you were saying?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Chief: Well?  Do you have any estimates yet?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
CO: A week or two.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::frowns and runs through it all again, very quickly:: XO: Ok then, completely without any attempt at all to inform me, our new CMO took off in an ATWV, driving worse than anyone I've ever seen. I assumed someone was stealing it or something. So I had to drop everything and go after him...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Jaw drops, and she just stares at the taller woman::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::continues:: XO: Then, when I caught him, he was so extremely rude - I asked him a question and he just gave me like a 2 word answer and took off at about a gazillion miles an hour, almost crushing my foot. ::practically screaming at her::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::antennae stiffening in indignation once again:: Chief: Two.... Two WEEKS!?!?!?!!!?!?!!!

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Keeps her smile on:: CO: Captain, honestly, you've been in Starfleet for a while ... no repair job has ever taken just a day, not one as serious as this. This is the first time we've ever tried to mix Starfleet and Dominion technology together on a major base like this ...

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::exits out on what he hopes is the level below C&C and looks around, the occasional sounds of tearing, ripping and working invading his senses::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: He's dangerous - he's going to get himself killed, hopefully noone else but you can't be sure, and he's going to ruin one of my trucks.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::winces at the shouting:: CVO: Ensign, I have good ears, which may not be so good anymore after your shouting.  As for the CMO, I agree with you about his behavior being reckless, and as soon as I get a chance to, I will speak with him about it.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The plating beneath Lambert begins to shift

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Watches the CO & Silver::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::feels his weight begin to shift and quickly moves off to the side, hoping not to shake loose the plating::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: This is what I was talking about a couple weeks ago in my report. Maybe that was before you were here, but still - people shouldn't be able to just take one and go whenever they want.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Visibly takes a breath....:: Chief: Ok.. I can understand that... Let me ask it this way.  How long will my station be in itsy-bitsy pieces, ie. totally uninhabitable?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Jumps up to the Command balcony, since both ramps are dismantled to get at the command pathways, and makes her way to only working Air Traffic monitoring station::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CIV: Ah, Miss Kedi. Good. I need your assistance. I have almost gotten the right frequency to rid the station of these green pests. ::motions her to stand next to a console near him::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Laughs:: CO: Captain, the station is still inhabitable ... okay, okay, some sections are out of sorts, but you can still maintain normal operations ... to a point. If worse comes to worse, you could always bunk with the Klingons ...

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::hopes that satisfied the CVO, seeing as how she's going to need a lot of favors from him once Adrienne starts school on Hais, and mentally yells at herself for letting her personal problems with Brynn take away her attention::  CVO:  Again, I completely agree.  Is he the only one you've had problems with, regarding taking unauthorized vehicles?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::flicks her ears and opens one eye from where she was sitting on the floor:: CSO: Good for you ::smiles::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Startled at Yokati'Clon jumping into C & C::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: A Swarm of Engineer suddenly bursts into the Life Sciences Lab and begins to dismantle all the equipment and remove it, so they can pull up the floor and expose one of the walls.  The lab is empty and exposed in less than five minutes and the Engineers are gone again.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Blank face, not a hint of a smile::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
ALL: HEY!!! What are you doing? Can't you see I need that?@!?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: ::pauses a sec, wondering whether Korben taking them was authorized or not:: Not really...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Three Engineers can be seen scurrying along the sloped glass Dome of C&C to get to the small sensor pallet on the top of the Dome.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Gives in a little:: Chief: Alright... you are the expert.  You just surprised me with the sudden appearance and the missing wall of my bedroom.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: Well...Mr. Lambert and Korben sometimes take them - but they drive carefully, and at least they sign out.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::eyes wide:: CSO: Was that a tornado or something? ::gets to her feet:: I hope I can still sort out my quarters later ::sighs and kicks a loose floor panel::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
CVO:  Well, then it seems that Dr. Harris is the only one who doesn't understand the rules... so perhaps instead of making blanket statements about discipline, it would work better if I spoke with Dr. Harris personally...  if personnel sign the vehicles out, then are they still technically following procedures?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::moves to another nearby ladder, and moves upward::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: If they drive like he does, then no.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Yells over the noise in C&C::  All: Incoming Starfleet Supply Vessel, Flight Vector Tango-2, Landing Pad Six, ETA Seventeen minutes.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::takes his PADD where he has wisely kept his records and looks at Kiz as he leaves the lab:: CIV: Well, no sense in hanging around here. Let's get back to our quarters. There is a portable wave generator there I can use.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Tries to refrain from laughing again:: CO: Oh ... I'm sorry ... I figured Command had informed you of our arrival. We'll have your wall back up in no time.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
CVO: Then, I will speak with him personally about the matter... it could be that he was unaware of the regulations, being new; it could also be that he needs a "reminder" that we have protocol that need to be adhered to.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: An Engineer leans over, and removes the ladder that Lambert was about to start climbing, and is gone.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks up at the tangled mess of wires hanging from under the balcony... in the general direction from where she heard Yokati:: First: Very well, First.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks over at Yokati, then back at Kostandinos:: XO: I'm going to have to go see that freighter. Hopefully you'll have better luck talking some sense into him then me.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Chief: Is this one of your shuttles?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
CO: I believe that's our second wave ... and it's not a shuttle ...

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::hops over the holes in the floor and reaches the door:: CSO: Okay, I guess

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
CVO:  I'll do my best - he knows that I'm in charge of discipline, so perhaps that will carry some weight.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::blinks, then looks at the missing ladder::
Self: Was that an Engineer? It all makes sense now..

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Sighs at the thought of more engineers:: First: Direct it to the pad.  :Chief: Its all yours then

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO: Hopefully. If it doesn't, I suggest a public shaming. ::is sarcastic, but shows absolutely no signs that he is. Turns to leave, heading for the lift::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks forlornly at the missing ramps, realizing that she can't even get to her office::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Smiles:: CO: Captain, don't worry. Before you know it, we'll be out of your hair ... and you'll have much better control of this place.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::to herself:: Public shaming??

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::arrives at quarters and enters:: CIV: Okay, the portable wave generator is over there. ::points to a corner of the room:: If you would, please connect it to the Positronic flux regulator.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::gets in the lift after waiting a very short time, and pushes the button for the hangar::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::makes a face as she looks around the room:: CSO: The what now?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Power Goes out on Level 10 - 16

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Ladder that was stolen from Lambert is set up to lean against the ladder to get to the Command Balcony as if answering Thelsh's unwished wish.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::starts looking around for another way into C&C, careful not to step near the shaky flooring::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Goes and leans against an unused console::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::rides down to the first floor, watching out the holes where walls are supposed to be as power cuts out::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks bewilderedly around the C&C, notes a ladder to the balcony that (she swears) wasn't there a second ago, and decides that the C&C is just too much to bear and head instead to the lift::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::lights go out:: self: Damn. CIV: Okay, never mind. Let's call it a day and take a walk in the arboretum.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::In his robe, he rushes after the CO:: CO: Captain, oh Captain, wait up! OOF! ::Suddenly Syarta vanishes in a hole in the floor::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Sees the Haisian vanish in the hole in the floor:: Oops. ::Wines::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Syarta, would you care to join me for a bit of fresh air?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::sticks her tongue out:: CSO: Alright. self: I don't see how anyone can put up with this station.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::sees the Haisian disappear and runs over to the hole:: Syarta: You all right down there?  ::peers down at him::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: Those in C & C hear a Haisian calling for help.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::arrives on floor one and crosses to the hangar, greeted by yet another gaping hole:: Self: My door... ::frowns and enters, looking up to the sky for the freighter::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Realizes that Syarta just vanished:: Syarta: Oh my.... ARE YOU OK?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::His robe is caught on a tube within the shaft which has been opened under C & C. He is waving his arms as he dangles between decks:: ALL: I'm between the floors! I'm between the floors! Help! Help!

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Kneels down beside the hole:: CO: I'm really sorry, Captain, I had no idea we left that there ...

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::Takes Kiz's hand:: CIV: I assume you have better night vision than I do. Lead the way.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::lays down on the ground in C&C and stretches her hand out to him:: Silver: Hang on to me, make sure I don't fall in

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Drops down to the floor at the edge of the hole:: Syarta: Hold on... :Chief: Well find something to get him out!

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
Syarta:  Can you reach my hand?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::hears the cries of Syarta, they are coming from the maintenance shaft just above him::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::locates the freighter as it descends down through the atmosphere, and takes a seat::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Reaches up and grabs the XO's hand::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::nods to the CSO and steps out into the hallway, looking around for any holes in the floor:: CSO: Okay, follow me.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Helps the XO get the Haisian out::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Helps Ashlynn pull up the tall thin Haisian::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::grips his hand with one of hers, while using the other to steady herself and pulls up, with the help of the CO and Silver::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: are you ok?

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CIV: I'm right beside you. And watch out for any engineers. They are likely to take the corridor right out from under us.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Brushes himself off, catching his breath while sitting on the cool, hard floor:: CO / XO / Chief: Oh ... oh ... I'm fine ... just a little ... ::Looks down the hole:: My ... that came out of nowhere.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks down the hole as well:: Syarta: It sure did.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Hangar* Incoming Supply Ship... Five minutes, Pad Six.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
Syarta:  Surprises seem to be more the norm than the exception lately ::looks at Silver::  Im just glad you're all right

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Taps a comm. badge:: *Eng. Team 12* Team Twelve, this is Silver in C & C, I have a hole I need you to come fill.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Chief: Can we not do something about safety

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::sighs and rolls her eyes:: CSO: I understand now. ::walks down the hall, leading him:: I'm just glad I didn't decide to be an engineer. Then everyone would be mad at me all the time.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*Yokati* Okiedokie. ::doesn't move an inch, still leaning back in his surprisingly comfortable chair::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
CO: I'll work on it, Captain, I apologize once again. Syarta: If there's anything I can do ... set up a hot-bath in your quarters ... whatever you want us to build, just ask.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Hamilton* Please Repeat Hangar... 

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Looks at the Chief standing up before him, then at the hole, then back at her:: Chief: Could you start with a floor perhaps?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Smiles at the Haisian:: Syarta: Heh, working on it.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::referring to Silver's "whatever you want us to build" comment, thinks to herself "how about a functioning station"?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Lets get you out of here... on the lift this time, ok?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*Yokati* Fear not, everything is honky-dory. ::grins as he can just see her standing there scratching her head like 'what in the name of god?'::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::finally reaches another access shaft and crawls up to C&C, brushing off his uniform as he stands up::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Engineering Team 12> ::Almost magically, they appear from a jefferies tube, and from the hole itself, and begin to work to repair it::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::glances around and sees the CEO, looking somewhat the worse for wear:: CEO: Glad you could make it

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Hamilton* I believe something is wrong with the comm-system, Supply Ship landing on Pad Six in two minutes.  Yokati'Clon Out.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Stands up slowly:: CO: Sounds like a plan, Captain.

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Stomps into the Hangar, and sees Hamilton and strides over::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
XO Kostandinos: Thanks, feels like I've been trying to get up here for over a week...

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::gets up to his feet quickly and moves away from Ranuck, trying to be subtle but failing miserably::

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::grins:: CEO: Floor get stolen out from under you?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Escorts Syarta, carefully, to the lift, pressing the button for the ground level::  XO: You have the C&C... or whatever is left of it.  Enjoy.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::finally addresses him in a weak voice:: Ranuck: Ummm, can I help you General?

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
CO: Sure, leave me all the fun... ::laughing about it because there's nothing else she can really do right now::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::walks into the arboretum:: CSO: Is this better, Brock? ::smiles and leaps up into a tree to take a nap::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
XO: Almost fell a few times... has the Captain killed anyone yet?

Host General_Ranuck says:
Hamilton: Who are these Icyta'gs Little One?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::in C&C::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Wearily holds onto the CO's arm ... fearful of any more holes. Besides, something about the tough Andorian inspires confidence and bravery ... and besides, she's probably strong enough to keep him from falling::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
Ranuck: Icyta - what? And don't call me little one. I'm Tyler.

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
CEO: ::standing close to the CEO, so that only he can hear her - laughs some more:: CEO: Not yet, but the chief CoE is asking for it...

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::stands up to him briefly - that's enough for this week::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
XO Kostandinos: Heh, just wait until I get my hands on... ::looks around, sees the Chief:: her.......

Host General_Ranuck says:
Hamilton: These Engineering type... I gave a couple of them a fright when they removed the wall to my dressing chamber.  ::Laughs loudly and claps Hamilton on the arm, causing him to stumble::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks up at the near 7 foot Haisian... he was always so timid, yet he had the metal to deal with Cardassians like a pro, such an interesting combination of personalities::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::didn't realize it would be a female... makes note to have plenty of ... debriefings with her::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: I suppose this is all for the best, no?

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::rolls her eyes, males are all the same, and walks away, attempting to find a terminal that is still in use::

Host General_Ranuck says:
ACTION: The Supply Shuttle, swoops over the base, and makes a soft landing on Pad Six, and immediately 50 CoE Engineers begin to unload all the equipment aboard.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Brushes a strand of blonde hair from her face and speaks with the engineering team who is repairing the hole::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::notes that the CIV vanished up a tree and decides to walk and think::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: I suppose... though right now it is difficult to believe it.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::regains his footing after a sec and looks up at Ranuck in fear, then lets out a little nervous laugh with him:: Ranuck: Umm.. those are the corps of Engineers that're coming to fix the station. ::glances over:: I have to, you know, ::motions with his head:: go help them now. ::takes a few steps away::

Host General_Ranuck says:
Hamilton: Very Well Little One, I will go frighten more of them now... ::Stomps off::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: I suppose, but there is an old Haisian saying ...

Host Iu says:
::Looks down at Kedi and smiles as she notices him higher than her in the tree::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::grins nervously as he takes off - rotten guy that he is. In any case, he heads over to assist the CoE's::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::smirks and nudges the CEO::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: ... "you cannot gather the kalider-coints without facing the lester-sucunmbi."

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::the nudging breaks him of his trance::
Jadahn: Hm?

XO_LtCdr_Kostandinos says:
::is trying to make her terminal work... it keeps blinking on and off... pounds her fist on it in a rare display of nerves:: Self: Damnit....

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Arrives at level 1, she helps Syarta out of the lift and they head for the main entrance:: Syarta: Errr... ok.  Not knowing those two terms, I can but guess at what you mean, but I do think I understand.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::yelps and looses her grip on the tree branch, but digs her sharpened fingernails in and climbs back up:: Iu: Oh, you're back. ::smiles::

Host Iu says:
Kedi: I never left.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::soft laugh:: CEO: Don't worry about it... ::leans over:: ...I "understand." ::smirks::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Laughs:: CO: The first is the most delicious fruit we have to offer on this planet ... the latter is a vicious beast which will only attack you if you attempt to take it. You cannot reach one without facing the other ... these Engineers of yours may be ... aggravating, but we need them.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
Iu: Yeah....that's nice... ::flicks her tail:: So do you have an answer to my question yet?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Sees the CBO & CEO staring at her. Smiles and steps over:: CEO & CBO: Hi, I'm Chief Silver of the Corps of Engineers. ::Holds out hand::

Host Iu says:
Kedi: What is you question, young one?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::smirks:: Iu: Who is going to ask me out on this station? ::twitches her tail slowly::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::exits the station, into the morning light:: Syarta: Are these actual fruits and animals, or just mythological?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks over at Mike to see if he's going to take her hand::

Host Iu says:
Kedi: I do not know.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::smirks at Apollo, then looks at the approaching Chief, extending his hand as she gets closer::
Chief Silver: I'm Lt. Michael Lambert, but you can call me Mike... I'm the Chief Engineer on this station. I'm sure we'll be working quite often together these next few weeks..

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: Oh, they exist. In the Hekton Jungles ... further down this coast ... a long journey by typical land-vehicle, but well worth if it if you're careful.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::giggles:: Iu: So then you're not as omniscient as I thought you were. You just know how to climb trees.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::nods:: Chief: And I'm Lt. Apollo Jadahn, Chief of Base Operations here.  Looks like I'll be stuck with the two of you as well.

Host Iu says:
Kedi: I do not know all, I only know what the Mountain shares and I learn.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Smile widens:: CEO: You're Chief Lambert? I've heard so much about you! I look forward to working with you. CBO: A pleasure to meet you as well Mr. Jadahn ... we hope to have things set up to make your job much easier.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: So where exactly are we going, Captain? ::As they walk::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
Iu: Umhmm. Suure ::rolls her eyes and smiles:: Anyways you should tell those engineers to hurry up. ::swings down from her branch, doing a back flip and lands on her feet on the ground below::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Sounds like a road trip, one day.  ::walks toward the parameter of the base, looking toward the mountains:: Syarta: What is this Haispoi thing about the mountain, with a capital M?  Is there a sentience within the mountain range?  Do many believe in this idea, among the general populace?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::didn't think he was THAT well-known...::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: An Eirn Dire wings its way over the Abertura and swoops close to Thelsh and Syarta

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::grins, and half whispers:: Anyone: It already is...

Host Iu says:
ACTION: When Kedi looks up, Iu is gone

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Sees the shadow, and the approaching Eirn Dire:: Oh dear.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Chief Silver: Why weren't we notified before you began work? It was a rather unsettling thing to wake up to a missing ceiling. I know I'm a heavy sleeper, but still...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
CEO: I apologize for that ... we were under the impression Command had informed you of our imminent arrival.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: A "Thrrruppp!" sound is heard and Thelsh feels something land on her shoulder as the Eirn Dire flies overhead.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Stops at the swooping shadow....decides to keep close to the parameter wall and the security:: Syarta: And what do you do about them?  ::points at the flying beast::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Looks at what landed on the CO's shoulder:: CO: Oh ... oh dear.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::finds another tree to sleep in and puts on her headphones, falling asleep again::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Feels the 'splat' and just freezes, not really wanting to look and already knowing what happened:: Self: It has got to be a Monday.....

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Chief Silver: Not a problem so much for us... I'm sure the Captain gave you an earful though.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Yes, she did. But Commanding Officers do that ... it's not like they mean to be like it. She seems like a very nice person, and I'm looking forward to getting to know her.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: As Thelsh does looks she sees a large bright green "gift" from the Eirn Dire, slowly dripping down her shoulder.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Self: Getting to know *her*? What about ME... ::looks at Jadahn, wondering if he's thinking the same thing::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Antennae wrinkling in disgust, she looks for something to wipe it off, finally settling for some dried leaves::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> ::Looks at the departing Eirn Dire, then at the CO:: CO: I'm really sorry about that ...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::busily wiping the mess off her uniform top:: Syarta: Nothing to apologize for.  It is not like you had any control over that thing... and I have not had to deal with environmental hazards like this for a long time.

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: I suppose ... but to answer your earlier question ... I'm not entirely sure about the Haispoi and the Mountain. You see, they came to the Mountain a long time ago, and only rumors of them had been know ... nothing else had been heard ...

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Syarta> CO: ... only within the last five years have they returned to the general public, to spread their wisdom and knowledge that they learned from the mountain. The public has been skeptical, but many are quite interested to hear of what they have to share.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::thinks, "Getting to know HER?  What about ME?"  He looks over at Lambert, who is looking at him, and wonders if he's thinking the same thing.::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Smiles the most amazing smile at both of them:: CBO / CEO: Well, I've got to get to work ... be seeing you. ::Turns and walks away to help out Engineering Team 12::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::pulls of the overshirt part of her uniform, wearing only the red sleeveless undershirt:: Syarta: so is it Mountain or Mountains?  or is is all one?  And is it only this mountain range that they hold sacred?
