Resume USS Andromeda "Shore Leave" 10409.26 Part 2

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::nearly asleep in the sun::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::sitting in bar with a drink::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::is startled when a drop of sea water  hits her eyes::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::walks into one of Risa's popular holosuites in his gui:: Computer: Generate an opponent for me. Any form of hand-to-hand combat.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::stands up and rolls up her towel::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::moves towards the bar::

John Sea says:
Scene: The luxurious waves and feather-finger-tipped wisps of the afternoon zephyrs glide by.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::looks at PADD and slams it down on desk::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
Self: Stupid warp efficiency designs.

Computer says:
::creates an opponent skilled in jiu jitsu, recognising the user as human; the opponent stands ready::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::enters the bar and approaches the CEO:: CEO: May I?

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
Computer: It needs to work on the offensive.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::points at the seat beside the table:: CSO: Be my guest.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
::looking at the beach and slowly walking towards it::

Opponent says:
::as soon as Andrews finishes his sentence, attacks::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::sits::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO: What do you suggest as a drink?

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::rolls with the repeated attacks, sending his opponent to the ground.. though it gets harder every time as the computer learns ai ki do vicariously::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CSO: I'm sticking with a Coke at the moment.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO: I was thinking of something more ...stimulating.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::asks the bartender for a black hole::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::gets it and starts drinking::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
::sees some of the crew at the bar and goes to check it out::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::pats the CSO on the back::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CSO: It’s a bit strong.

Bartender MixALot says:
::passes out some drinks:

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::looks up at the CEO:: CEO: Are you joking? With my Vulcan fisiology I can dandle anything.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO: Here comes the Captain ::whispers:: CEO: He appears quite distant .... even for a Vulcan.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
::enters the bar::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::suddenly finds himself pinned underneath the now-superior computer opponent:: Computer: End simulation. Where is the rest of the Andromeda crew?

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CSO: ::whispers:: Trying to maintain a professional relationship with the crew maybe?

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO: Too much is too much ...

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: Greetings Captain. Can we have the honor of your company sir?

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: Certainly.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CO: Please sir, join us for a drink.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::nods to the CO::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
~~~CSO: I think he likes his career too much.~~~

The computer says:
::removes the opponent from existence:: FCO: The crew of the USS Andromeda is currently at Sea's Bar and Grille.

Bartender MixALot says:
::mixing up the medicine::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: So, how do you like the ship and the crew?

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
Computer: Thank you. ::climbs to his feet and heads for the bar::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: You've not been around much yet.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::waves over at the FCO:: FCO: Over here.

Bartender MixALot says:
::wiping down the counter::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: They appear to be quite efficient working together

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::notices the CEO and walks in:: Bartender: Can I get a voodoo sunrise?

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
~~~CEO: Or maybe we just need to start inviting him more often.~~~

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: Would you like to drink anything?

John Sea says:
Scene: The gentle waves grace the yellow, smooth sands near the beach bar::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: A glass of water.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
~~~CSO: I dare you to give him the strongest clear liquid you can find~~~

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
Bartender: A glass of mineral water please

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
~~~CEO: I want to keep my job and you don't want to see a drunk Vulcan~~~

Bartender MixALot says:
CSO: Why of course, fair lady, it would be my most distinct honor of course

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::nods to the bartender with a curt smile::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO/CEO: Sometimes I wonder if Ensigns are afraid of me.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::surprised by the CO's remark:: CO: They probably are.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO/CEO: It's rather weird.

Bartender MixALot says:
::serves the CSO some water trying to be charming::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::looks in surprise at the CO comments::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: Perhaps you should sit with us for a drink more often.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::nods to the bartender ignoring the extra charm and passes the glass to the CO::

Bartender MixALot says:
::thinks, “tough audience”::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: I'm not a person who does that often. It's just the way I am.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CSO: That sounds like a really good idea. Nothing helps out camaraderie like a bridge crew who spends their off-duty hours in each other's company.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
FCO: We could be a motley crew of pirates faring around the seas of space plundering what treasures we find.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: Sometimes one needs to make ... small changes for the sake of work ... sir.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
FCO: Although I don't think StarFleet would be too happy.

John Sea says:
Scene: Several children run by bouncing a beach ball.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CEO: I'd tend to agree with you on that one, Conor.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::wonders what's taking the bartender so long with his drink; it isn't that difficult::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: In any event, I am not affraid of you. Fear is not logical. But then again I was never a regular Ensign. ::drinks the last of the black hole::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
Bartender: Another please.

Bartender MixALot says:
::serves the FCO::

Bartender MixALot says:
CSO: But of course it is my honor to serve

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::drains the last of his coke::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::finally notices she is still in her bikini::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
Bartender: Thanks. ::sips at the pinky-orange concoction and smiles::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::ponders reading the bartenders mind but then concludes some things are best not to be known::

Bartender MixALot says:
::flashes his baby blues at the CSO trying his charm once again, and pours her drink::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: Never a regular Ensign?

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::shakes her head::CO: Not even a regular cadet. ::thanks the bartender and takes a large sip of the new drink::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CSO: Oh, now this sounds interesting.

Bartender MixALot says:
::frowns and goes to wash some dirty glasses, offers his parrot a cracker::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO/FCO/CO: Oh nothing much. My colleagues were either affraid of me or laughing at me. Either way it was ... diffrent. ::drinks a bit more::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CSO: Why would they be laughing at you?

SeaEyes the eagle says:
::fluffs his silver wings and lands on top of the bar::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
FCO: You laugh at what you do not understand

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::thinks back:: CSO: In childhood, maybe.. but the Academy?

SeaEyes the eagle says:
::helps himself to the pretzel bowl::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
FCO: The Academy is not diffrent. Simply more controlled. Who is to say what will happen on the Andromeda. But that’s enough about me.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
FCO: Where is your wife?

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CSO: Morning sickness. She decided to take today exceptionally easy.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::coughs and orders another drink::

SeaEyes the eagle says:
::trots along the countertop, munches on some potato chips::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
FCO: Ah, perhaps she should see the doctor.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
All: Anyone want anything from the bar? food, drinks?

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO/FCO/CO: Speaking of doctors, I trust the CNS is recovering well.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
::sipping his drink::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO:Another black hole.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::shrugs:: CSO: It's perfectly natural. So she says, anyway.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::walks over to the bar:: Bartender:: I'll take another Coke and black hole. See the guy drinking the water? Send the tab to him.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
::takes a look in CEO's general direction::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::looks away from the CO::

Bartender MixALot says:
CEO: Sure, no problem and a nice healthy tip for me of course.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
Bartender: Sure, add a nice tip for yourself.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::drains his drink and intentionally sucks on the straw for a second::
CSO Ens. Saprin says:
FCO: Ah then... ::makes no more comments about his wife wondering if he knows the good news::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::takes drinks and hands black hole to CSO::

SeaEyes the eagle says:
::takes flight::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO: Thank you

CEO Ens. Conor says:
~~~CSO: Guess who's getting the bill?~~~

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
~~~CEO: The one with most pips ... hope you can keep yours after this.~~~

CO Capt. Sketek says:
Self: With the rate these people are drinking, I may have to request phaser upgrade funds to be reassigned for paying this bar bill.

John Sea says:
Scene: Hangliders ride the warm thermals over the ocean in the distance, lazily drifting in the billowing winds

CEO Ens. Conor says:
~~~CSO: I'm already servicing plasma conduits how much worse can it get.~~~

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::looks over toward the bartender and points at his empty drink, as though asking, "Can I get another?"::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
~~~CEO: Trust me, it can get worse.~~~

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: Are you certain you only want water, sir?

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::looks at the CSO and frowns::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::quickly smiles at the CEO::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: Yes.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: Very well

Bartender MixALot says:
::serves the FCO::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: You are a wise man ... Captain ... Sir

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::feels her head slightly lighter as she takes another sip::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::nods in thanks::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CSO: Maybe Vulcans can hold their drink, but not that much.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: You don't need to call me "sir" as long as Admirals or diplomats are not around.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CEO: I'm fine and I'm not Vulcan ...only a bit Vulcan ::smiles and takes another sip::

CO Capt. Sketek says:
CSO: I've never understood the fascination for protocols like that.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CO: So what would you like us to call you?

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::waits for the CSO to fall over drunk and smiles::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
CO: All right ... Captain

CO Capt. Sketek says:
FCO: Captain, Sketek, whatever role you wish to address me in.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::looks at the CEO as she senses strange amused feelings from him::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::smiles:: CO: I don't think I have enough pips to comfortably refer to you as Sketek.

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::Looks at the FCOs pips then thinks of pips on current uniform::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::finishes another glass and looks at each and every one in the table::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::Looks at the CSO getting slighty drunker after every sip::

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::catches the CSO's glance::

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
All:I'm fine I'm fine ... Just thinking ...

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
All: I'm ready to beam back to the ship and take my station

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
All: But I suppose the Captain would allow that ::laughs::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CSO: Maybe a stop-off in sickbay first?

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
::scratches her head, absently looking at the ceiling:: CEO: Maybe.

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
CSO: Or your quarters, maybe, for a good night's rest.

CO Capt. Sketek says:
Self: If I let a drunk science officer make us new navigational charts, we'll find not only new civilizations but new ways of getting completely lost without any hope whatsoever of finding our way back in any reasonable timeframe.

CSO Ens. Saprin says:
FCO: Alone? That’s no fun. ::looks at the CO and shuts up::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
CSO: Expecting company?

FCO Lt.JG Andrews says:
::raises an eyebrow towards the CSO and fiddles with his wedding band:: CSO: Maybe Conor'd like to join you? ::lightly nudges the CEO::

CEO Ens. Conor says:
::Looks funny at the CSO::
