::In her office finishing off with a patient.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : So we're down to babysitting?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::On the bridge, at her station, looking over the pictures from the monolith::
CEO_Burke says:
::going over the to do list and wishing there were more hours in a day, grumpily gets up to find out what his crew is up to::
CO_Madred says:
::glances at Tealk:: XO: I can't watch your kids tonight, I'm busy.
FCO_Panthera says:
::at flight control monitoring their course::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::in sickbay wondering if the Paula Greene will do anything productive except dig up bones and clay pots::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: CO : I meant the archeological dig, Jafo...
CO_Madred says:
::comprehension dawns:: XO: Oh ... right. ::shrugs:: XO: Babysitting?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Turns::  XO:  I am actually looking forward to the site.
CNS_Lorehani says:
Ensign Taylor:  Ok then, our next appointment is in hmmm ::looks at her calendar::  2 weeks, 1400hrs Tuesday.  ::Manages to stop Ensign Taylor at the door.::
CEO_Burke says:
Harris: Where are we with that realignment of the secondary EPS grid?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CO :Yeah... Starfleet Command not like the way we handled our last mission that we're sent to take over an  "Archeological" dig?
XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : You would...
Ens Taylor says:
CNS:  Hmmmm Doctor maybe I don't need anymore therapy.. I think I can handle engineering now...  Ens Burke said I can work on the Warp Core again...
XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles::
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, we're supposed to be rendezvousing with Doctor Russell Christopher but I don't detect any vessels headed our way.
Harris says:
  CEO: It's going slower than expected.  We've run into a few unforeseen problems.
CSO_Tsalea says:
XO:  You never know, you might as well.  You are after all half human.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : I like the new, not the old... You know that..
FCO_Panthera says:
::listens to the talk on the bridge and continues her monitoring making minor course adjustments as needed::
CEO_Burke says:
::sighs as they have been running into a lot of these unforeseen problems.  It was almost as if this ship was being held together with bubble gum::  Harris:  Keep me in the loop.
CSO_Tsalea says:
XO:  But it is by knowing the old sometimes, that we can learn the new or perhaps understand and build upon.
CO_Madred says:
::glances up from the center chair:: FCO: Mister Panthera, has the USS Sable indicated when they will be rendezvousing with us?
CNS_Lorehani says:
::speechless for a moment considering Ens Taylor almost blew up the ship a few months back.:: Taylor:  Well I think a few more sessions is called for.  I'll let Ens Burke now and suggest maybe warp core maintenance can wait for a bit.
Ens_Taylor says:
 ::Glares at the counselor then stomps out of the office::
CEO_Burke says:
::heads off to the JTs, grabbing a tool kit first::
CNS_Lorehani says:
Self:  Touchy, Touchy....
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::reads the Mission Brief once again:: *CO*: Captain... may I recommend an olfactory inhibitor to anyone beaming to the planet's surface. Unless one wishes to smell rotten vegetables all the time one is down there.
FCO_Panthera says:
CO: Ten minutes sir.
CO_Madred says:
::glances at the XO with a 'who is this guy?
XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : Uuuuuhhh.. You're very philosophical today, Tsalea.... ::leans towards the CO:: CO : Party last night, huh? ::grins::
CO_Madred says:
::glances at the XO with a 'who is this guy?' expression on this face:: *CMO*: Yes Doctor, a sensible precaution.
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Quickly composes a memo to Taylor including the timings of Taylor’s next session.::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Sees a blip on her monitor indicating a ship entering within sensor range:: CO: Sir, I have a ship heading on an intercept course on LRS.
CO_Madred says:
::glances at Tealk, glances at his wife, glances at Tealk, loudly:: XO: That is none of your business, Commander... ::quieter:: ...all six times, is none of your business.
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Confirming identity......::Taps the console identifying the approaching ship:: Confirmed, Sir, it's the USS Sable, Sir.
CEO_Burke says:
::climbs up a few decks and then starts crawling through one junction after another, the relative silence on the tubes a welcome escape::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks curiously at Tealk, then with a delicate shrug, turns back to her sensors::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::prepares the medication:: *CO*: If I may inquire Captain... how many doses will be required?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::straightens his face for the communication with the Sable's captain::
CO_Madred says:
ACTION: The approaching ship, the USS Sable, signals that Doctor Christopher will be ready to beam over as soon as they rendezvous and that he is quite anxious to return to his excavation.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::decides he will have to use divine intervention or guess and begins to prepare about 12 doses to begin with::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Finishes off her notes.  She stands and goes to the replicator.::  Computer:  One coffee, milk... Thermal cup with lid.  ::Watches as her order materializes before her.  Picking up the cup she exits her office and heads to the bridge.::
CO_Madred says:
*CMO*: Doctor, I'm a Captain ... not a pharmaceutical scientist. You'll be on the Away Team so, once we head down, you can do the math.
CEO_Burke says:
::opening and access panel, Kieran has pretty much calmed down from the chaos of ME.  That was until he saw the mess in the panel, his cursing echoing through the JTs::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Sees an incoming communication:: CO: Sir, the Sable confirms Dr. Christopher will be ready to transport aboard upon our arrival to the rendezvous coordinates.
CO_Madred says:
::nods at Ryan:: CTO: Excellent, Commander ... I guess all that remains is to greet the man. FCO: Mister Panthera, you have the bridge... ::rises from his chair:: All: Tsalea, Commander Amendoeira, Commander Ryan ... you're with me. ::heads towards the turbolift::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Enters the TL.::  Computer:  Bridge.  ::Takes a sip of her coffee.::
FCO-Panthera says:
CO: Aye sir I have the bridge.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::shakes head and knew he would not get a precise number::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::follows the CO:: CO : Aye sir..
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Turning her station over to another, moves to join them.::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Motions a relief officer to the tactical station::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Feels the TL stop and tries to exit if she can through all the people wanting to get on.::
CEO_Burke says:
::grumbling, he realizes he might as well just replace the entire junction, it would be easier::
CO_Madred says:
::stops short as he sees the Counselor:: CNS: About face, Mister Lorehani ... ::points into the lift with the wee knave::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::heads to the transporter room and decides he has to guess which one the away team is going to::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Tries not to spill coffee on the Capt.:: CO:  Aye Sir...  ::Backs into the TL and stands at the back.::
CO_Madred says:
::steps into the turbolift with the others:: TL: Transporter Room 12...
CTO_Ryan says:
::Squeezes into the turbolift behind the rest of the senior staff::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::steps into the TL, feeling a bit crammed in it::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Holds her cup in the air.::
CO_Madred says:
::wraps his arms around his wife since space is limited:: CSO: Just conserving space...
XO_Amendoeira says:
All : Did we NEED to use the same Turbo lift, people?
CEO_Burke says:
::gets to work, depolarizing the incoming connections, still occasionally swearing under his breath::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::taps a COM panel: Computer: Computer... which transporter room is the Captain going to?
CNS_Lorehani says:
XO:  I tried to get off Sir!
CSO_Tsalea says:
::A twinkle in her eye as she looks up at her husband::  CO:  Of course.
FCO-Panthera says:
::continues monitoring console keeping an eye open for anything abnormal::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Tries not to take up too much space in the crowded turbolift.  Her nose presses up against the doors::
Computer says:
CMO: The Captain requested the turbolift to take him to transporter room 12.... it is probable he his going there.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::with a small sigh, wonders what Aurora is doing at the moment::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::enters the turbolift and requests transporter room 12::

ACTION: The turbolift uneventfully arrives outside transporter room twelve.

CEO_Burke says:
::pulls the inputs and starts to disconnect the transfer matrix::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Falls forward out of the turbolift as the doors slide open, stumbling towards the TR::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::exits as soon as he is able to::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::exits out of his turbolift and sees the group exit the one opposite his own::
CO_Madred says:
::steps out of the turbolift and leads the group towards the transporter room:: All: It's gotta be right around here somewhere...
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::wonders how many people were in there::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Shakes her head and follows the group.::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::exits the TL and follows the crowd.  Has no idea what is going on.  Takes another sip of her coffee..::
CO_Madred says:
ACTION: The USS Sable pulls alongside the USS Paula Greene and signals its readiness to transport.
CEO_Burke says:
::stops as he realize someone bypassed the safety features, the matrix is still hot::  Self: Lovely!  If I ever find who did this... ::grumbles on::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : I know it's a big ship... But.. You don't know where it is?
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::follows the group and nods politely to them::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters the TR confident she won't get squashed in there::
CO_Madred says:
All: Ah, here it is... ::sees the CMO:: CMO: Doctor, what are you doing here? ::enters the transporter room::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Enters the Transporter room.::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Walks further into the TR and subconsciously avoids standing in a corner::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::can't help but be surprised at the CMO's powerful deductive reasoning::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::blinks:: CO: I am following your orders to be on the Away Team Captain.
CEO_Burke says:
::starts to slowly remove power inputs from the matrix, one at a time::
FCO-Panthera says:
COM: Sable: We will begin transport shortly.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::follows the group in the transporter room::
CO_Madred says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: Away Team? We haven't even arrived at the planet yet. We're just here to greet Doctor Christopher as he comes aboard.
CNS_Lorehani says:
Self:  AT? What AT?  ::Looks at her cup.::
FCO-Panthera says:
*CO*: Sir the Sable is here and ready to transport.
CTO_Ryan says:
::Moves to the transporter control panel::
CO_Madred says:
::shakes his head at the Chief Medical Officer:: Self: Romulans... *FCO*: Proceed, Lieutenant.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes head, and rethinks his former thought::
FCO-Panthera says:
*CO*: Aye sir.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods:: CO: Of course Captain... that would explain...::voice trails off::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Leans over to the CMO::  CMO:  T'Rae, what is going on?
FCO-Panthera says:
::nods to OPS to begin the transport into the cargo bay set aside for this:: COM: Sable: We are beginning transport.
CO_Madred says:
::grumbles:: CMO: Really Doctor, all you needed to do was look out a window.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::remembers an expression an Earthman once told him... "Never assume.... "
CTO_Ryan says:
::Falls back into formation with the rest of the senior staff and readies herself to greet Dr. Christopher::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::puts on his serious face for the newcomer::
FCO-Panthera says:
::activates transporter to bring Dr. Christopher onboard::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods to Lorehani:: CNS: I was under the impression I was to report for an Away Mission.... I am too early it seems  ::shrugs::

ACTION: Doctor Christopher is beamed off the PADD from the USS Sable and materializes on the USS Paula Greene. He is a man of slight build with badly thinning brown hair. His dress appears to have come out of a bad 23rd century movie and he hasn't shaved in several days.

XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Burke says:
::finally, severing all power connections to the matrix, he pulls it out from the housing::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Looks at the new comer.:: Self:  He doesn't look good.  ::Resolves to speak to him.::
CO_Madred says:
::coughs slightly and steps forward:: Doc: Doctor Christopher I presume?
CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks on as Dr. Christopher appears on the transporter pad.  Remains quiet, shocked at his appearance::
Doctor_Christopher says:
CO: Yes, yes, Captain... ::steps off the transporter pad gently:: CO: I am Russell Christopher, the lead scientist for the Gosling Expedition. ::shakes out his jacket as if to breathe life back into it::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Sees the dust as it gets shaked from Dr. Christopher's jacket and stifles the urge to wave her hand in front of her face to clear the air::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::raises an eyebrow at the newcomer’s appearance and wonders if a medical scan would prove intrusive::
CO_Madred says:
::nods:: Doc: Excellent... ::trying to sound genuine:: Doc: Doctor Christopher, let me introduce my crew ... this is my First Officer, Commander Tealk Amendoeira. My Chief Science Officer, Commander Madred. My Chief Tactical Officer, Commander Ryan. And my Ship's Counselor ... Mister Lorehani.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods to the Doctor::
CO_Madred says:
::corrects himself:: Doc: Oh, and my Chief Medical Officer ... Doctor tr'Raehol from the Romulan Star Empire.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: Doctor...
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods to Doctor Christopher::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::shakes each persons hand as they are introduced:: CMO: Romulan, eh? ::hurries over to him and looks him up and down::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::wonders if the Captain will ever pronounce his name correctly:: Christopher:: Yes Sir.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::follows the Doctor with his eyes::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::muttering to himself as he continues to look the CMO up and down:: CMO: Fascinating ... funny, you don't look Romulan. Are you sure you don't have any Vulcan in you?
FCO-Panthera says:
*CO*: Dr. Christopher's things are secure in the cargo bay sir.
CTO_Ryan says:
::Thinks: 'Curious little man' as she watches him inspect Dr. tr'Raedheol::
CEO_Burke says:
::finally, removes the converter assembly with no problem::
CO_Madred says:
::chuckles at the exchange between the two doctor's:: *FCO*: Excellent work Mister Panthera, resume our course to Skerret VII.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::blinks:: Christopher: I most sincerely do not think so
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Thinks tr’Raehol has made a new best friend.::
FCO-Panthera says:
*CO*: Aye sir, resuming course. ::activates the previous course heading and gets the ship moving::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Moves to the transporter room doors and waits for the signal to escort Dr. Christopher to his quarters::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks at the doctor curious to his denial.::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::looks at the CMO through a pair of ancient reading glasses ... then looks at him with his naked eye ... then back to the glasses:: CMO: Fascinating...
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::endures the staring and waits patiently::
CO_Madred says:
::grins:: Doc: Well ... seeing as you and Doctor tr'Raehol are hitting it off so famously, perhaps he should be your escort while aboard the ship. CMO: Doctor, I'd like you and Counselor Lorehani to work closely with Doctor Christopher to ensure we're ready for whatever we might encounter on Skerret VII.
Doctor_Christopher says:
CO: Oh yes, are we en route to Skerret VII? It's quite imperative we return as soon as possible.
CEO_Burke says:
::pulls the replacement parts out of his kit and begins rebuilding the unit::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::leans towards the CO, and whispers:: CO : Told you.. babysitting...
CNS_Lorehani says:
Doc Christopher:  Why is that doctor?
CO_Madred says:
::nods and smiles thinly:: Christopher: Yes, we have resumed our previous course...
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::smiles at the CNS:: CNS: Oh, no reason ... no reason at all. I just don't want to leave the site unprotected any longer than necessary.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods to the Captain::
CO_Madred says:
XO: Commander, any idea what our ETA to Skerret VII is?
XO_Amendoeira says:
Christopher : Unprotected from what? You expect any trouble?
XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : Panthera... What's our ETA to the Skerret system at current speed?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 XO: Expect? No ... but in my line of work, archaeology, grave robbers are always a possibility.
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods not quite believing him.::  Doc Christopher:  How about we get something for you to eat and you can tell the Doctor tr’Raehol and I what is so important at this dig sight.  ::Almost offers her half drunken coffee.::
FCO-Panthera says:
*XO*: Approximately 2 hours sir.
XO_Amendoeira says:
Christopher : Then you have fond things of value at your dig?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns to the CO, hoping he heard Panthera's reply::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods to the CNS and Christopher::
CO_Madred says:
::nods:: XO: Then we'll get there around dusk ... local time. We'll postpone the away team until morning then.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : I could use a good night's sleep, Captain..
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::overhears the Captain and breaks in:: CO: No, Captain ... we should beam down as soon as we arrive.
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Whispers to the CMO:: CMO:  He needs more then just food.  Let’s get some in him, get him talking maybe a physical?
CO_Madred says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Doctor::
CSO_Tsalea says:
Christopher:  Any special reason why?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CSO: We can't leave the site unprotected ... even if we only beam down briefly, we should at least make sure the site is still intact.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::wonders who will win the argument... the Captain or the Doctor::
CSO_Tsalea says:
Christopher:  Protected from what?  I was unaware there was anyone else around the area.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods to Lorehani and whispers:: CNS: As soon as the winner of the argument is determined we shall do that Counselor.
CO_Madred says:
::grimaces:: Doc: Very well, we can send a small team down upon our arrival and leave a security detachment behind over night.
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CSO: Grave robbers ... the Ferengi are always trying to get at me lucky charms.
CSO_Tsalea says:
Christopher:  Lucky charms?
CNS_Lorehani says:
CMO:  Well looks like the Capt is going to appease the Doctor.   I have to wonder about this site though and why he is so protective of it.
CNS_Lorehani says:
Doc Christopher:  Isn't it normal to hire guards for these sites.  Where are the guards?
CO_Madred says:
XO: You can see to that, Commander... ::turns to leave:: CMO/CNS: Why don't you two show the Doctor around the ship. We have a few hours... ::tries to hide the groan::
CEO_Burke says:
::finishes, and smiles at his handiwork.  Closes up his tool kit and heads back to ME::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir...
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CNS: On a Starfleet Archeology budget? You've got to be out of your mind, Counselor.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::follows the CO::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks at her husband, wondering what she had missed::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Well, I guess I don't have to escort him to his quarters.  Smiles and waits for everyone to clear the transporter room::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::shrugs:: CNS: Bones and rocks... I fail to see the importance of ancient sites like this.    ::pause:: CO: Aye Captain... Christopher: Doctor? This way... ::points to the turbolift::
CNS_Lorehani says:
C Christopher:  On the contrary Doctor.  Budget always includes guards.
CTO_Ryan says:
::Follows everyone out of the transporter room::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::looks up at the Doctor:: CMO: Oh certainly, Mister Romulan. ::glares at the CNS:: CNS: Oh, and what was the last archaeology expedition you were on ... Counselor. ::title said slight louder than the rest::
CNS_Lorehani says:
Christopher:  Three years ago.  Beta quadrant. ::Smirks back.::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::directs them to a different turbolift than the rest of the party not wanting to be 12 in one car::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::in the TL headed for the bridge:: CO : He sounded a little paranoid, don't you think?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CNS: Well maybe in the Beta Quadrant they do things differently, but here in the Alpha Quadrant we have problems with grave robbers and hiring guards isn't always the solution.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::enters turbolift:: Computer: Deck 10.
CTO_Ryan says:
::Takes the least crowded turbolift to the Bridge::
CSO_Tsalea says:
XO:  Not really.  It is understandable.  Archaeological objects bring a high price on the black market.
CO_Madred says:
::shrugs:: XO: Yes, but I doubt he has no reason to feel that way.
CNS_Lorehani says:
Christopher:  Problems with grave robbers and not hiring guards is not a solution.  Interesting Doctor...
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CSO : But still.. Anything big enough to warrant the protection of a Federation ship like the PPG?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::not liking this woman counselor:: CNS: Half the time the guards wind up being grave robbers, Counselor.
CSO_Tsalea says:
XO:  We were asked to continue with the project, not just protect it.
CEO_Burke says:
::arrives back to the hussle and bustle of ME and immediately his smile disappears::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods in agreement::  Christopher: Understandable Doctor.
CNS_Lorehani says:
Christopher:  Then that is a problem with the person hiring these guards.  ::Wonders why the Doctor is so pushy.::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Listens as the CO and XO converse in the turbolift, standing directly behind them::
CO_Madred says:
::goes to pinch his wife's bottom but pinches Ryan's by accident::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Jumps and looks at the CO with a frown but doesn't say anything::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CMO: Thank you, Doctor.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::directs Christopher and the CNS to the lounge::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::shrugs:: All : I just don't like archeology...
CO_Madred says:
::sees Ryan jump and looks down:: CTO: Oh ... sorry, Commander. I was just ... checking your reflexes.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Raises and eyebrow as she steps from the turbolift::
CEO_Burke says:
::heads back into his office to cross one item off the to do list to find six have been added::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Yeah, right, then looks at Tsalea::
CSO_Tsalea says:
XO: It was my original studies, so I do not share your distaste.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::sits at the table closest to the windows::
CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads back to the tactical station::
CO_Madred says:
::looks at Tealk in surprise:: XO: You knew that, Commander.
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Takes a seat at the table with both doctors.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: All : I did.. ::shrugs::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::looks around and takes a seat:: CMO/CNS: Oh my ... quite a ship you have here.
CEO_Burke says:
::sinks into his chair::
FCO-Panthera says:
::double checks the headings nodding that all is going well so far::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
Christopher: It is not the adjective I use at times but it is interesting.
Harris says:
 *CEO*: Chief, I have good news and I have bad news.
CO_Madred says:
::heads for the center chair:: FCO: I trust all is well, Mister Panthera?
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Smiles:: Christopher:  We like it.   Tell us about the dig, what exactly did you find.  Religious artifacts?
FCO-Panthera says:
CO: Aye sir all is well.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::heads for his own chair::
CEO_Burke says:
::sighs::  *Harris*:  Out with it Harris.  What happened?
Harris says:
*CEO*: Well, we got the realignment finished.  ::his voice trails off::
Waiter says:
::looks at the group:: All: What may I get you?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CNS: All types of artifact. The culture appears to have been very similar to the Aztecs and, as such, they appear to have practiced some kind of ritual sacrifice.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Continues her studies of the site::
CNS_Lorehani says:
Waiter:  Another coffee and a toasted Tomato sandwich.
CEO_Burke says:
*Harris*:  But?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 Waiter: The blood of a young virgin...
CNS_Lorehani says:
::Raises eyebrows.::  Christopher:  Now that is interesting.  Any clue to maybe they were the forefathers of the Aztecs?
CTO_Ryan says:
::Decides to take in a little target practice after dinner and sends a text message to Burke down in Engineering:: CEO: How about joining me for a little target practice after dinner tonight?
Waiter says:
::blinks:: Christopher: Sir?
Doctor_Christopher says:
 ::smiles at the CNS and CMO:: CNS/CMO: That's a little archeology humor. ::winks:: Waiter: I'll just have a Bolian Tonic Water.
Harris says:
*CEO*: But... now half of the LCARS console on Deck 17 are down.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
Waiter: Vulcan spring water  ::looks at Christopher not understanding the humor::
CNS_Lorehani says:
CNS:  Oh have something to eat also doctor.  We got time.
CEO_Burke says:
::sees the CTO's message and smiles slightly as he listens to Harris finish::  *Harris*:  Just wonderful.  We'll get on it.  Burke out.
CNS_Lorehani says:
CMO:  Think Sacrifices...  What was normally sacrificed?
Doctor_Christopher says:
Waiter: Oh ... umm ... perhaps a grilled cheese sandwich then.
Doctor_Christopher says:
CNS: We really can't speculate on any of that just yet. It's all very preliminary, you see.
CO_Madred says:
::takes the center chair and relaxes:: XO: Well ... let's hope this is an uneventful mission.
CEO_Burke says:
::sends a message back to the CTO  "If the phaser range doesn't break down between then and now, I would love to."::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::nods:: Christopher:  I just find it amazing in a lot of these digs how we can work back the lineage of some of these cultures to some of our own.  Like this one, you relate this back to the Aztecs of earth.
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods in agreement to Lorehani: CNS: Of course... very humorous indeed..... ::has no idea what she means::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Fat chance that happening... Do you remember the last time we had an uneventful mission?
CTO_Ryan says:
::Replies to the CEO's text message.  CEO: What do you mean by that?::
Waiter says:
 ::returns to the replicator wondering where they got that guy::
CO_Madred says:
::tries to remember:: XO: Hmm ... no.
CEO_Burke says:
:: replies  "Let's just say I'm amazed this ship is in one piece."::
Doctor_Christopher says:
 CNS: Oh yes, it's all quite fascinating.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Has the computer take the current data and draft a replica of the city.  As it is completed, she sends an order to the science department to replicate it.::
CMO_tr`Raedheol says:
Christopher: What do you think you shall learn from digging up a pile of bones Doctor?
CO_Madred says:
