Sanctum

After having received orders to pick up two members of the President's Cabinet, the USS Sharikahr docked at Arcadia Station. Once the Norway Class vessel docked, Arcadia's Senior Staff brought the Ministers of Galactic Affairs and Defense to the Docking Ring, where an Honor Guard Ceremony took place.

Under the command of Lieutenant Arinoch, the Honor Guard performed admirably. With this ceremony completed, Counselor Rodos prepared a reception in the Sharikahr's Reception Hall in the Ministers' honor. This is where we rejoin both Senior Staffs.

Will the reception go well? Will Minister Varan cause problems amongst the crews?

A_CMO: My daughter is three months old. ::gestures to the A_CIV:: So is this the Vulcan Boyfriend you told me about?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
MoD: True, but we should enjoy this for what it is worth. ::She turns her attention to Captain Irvin::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::was about to pick something off the desert table with his hand when Captain Irin spoke he quickly but his hand away looking up at the table::

S_CNS: Oh, good. I'm starving!

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::walks over to the replicator:: Computer: Whiskey, the bottle.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:

S_CNS_Rodos says:

Host S_CO_Irvin says:

A_CMO_Kimura says:
A_CIV: We should get a seat.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:

A_CIV_Taal says:

Host Capt_Regnum says:
::seats towards the back of the room::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::takes the bottle of whiskey and walks back to his desk and pulls a shot glass from the drawer and sets it on the desk::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::goes to pull out a chair for Millicent as she nears:: SCNS: Thank the gods diplomacy's primarily for people above my pay grade.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: Most welcome Minister.  ::waits for Varan to be seated before seating himself::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::takes his own seat, folding his hands in his lap, looking bored - even for a Vulcan::

A_CIV_Taal says:
::walks over to a table and pulls out a chair for Kazue::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
SCTO: Wish I culd say the same.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
<could>

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: My compliments to the planner of this spectacular event, Captain. ::she looks onwards toward the Senior Officers, watching them enjoy each other's company::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
A_CIV: Thank you. ::is seated, adjusting her uniform more::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::a couple of the security officers drift just a touch closer to the table where the ministers are seated::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::stares at the shot glass a long while then pours a shot::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
A_CIV: I really hate this thing... even more so then I normally do...

S_CNS_Rodos says:
SCTO: So, Donovin, do you dance?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> ::She walks over to the CMO's Office and rings the chime::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: You are welcome, Kazue.

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: Enter.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: Our Ships Councilor has been indispensable through the planning of our little shin-dig.  ::points in the SCNS's general direction::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Yes, these uniforms are most uncomfortable.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow:: SCNS: Not usually. Hard to dance with a phaser rifle on your shoulder. ::smirks::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> ::She enters the CMO's Office and raises an eyebrow:: CMO: You know, sir, this doesn't look like the Reception Hall to me.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::she nods approvingly:: SCO: And a very fine job she has done.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
SCTO: Well it so happens that withFalor having to sneak off, I will be in need of a partner.

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: But you look good in it. ::tucks her hair behind an ear:: I just look horrible now...

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
SCO: I would also add my compliments on the presentation of the Honor Guard and your officers. I am gratified that Starfleet's traditions of duty and order are being maintained.

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::takes a seat near Captain Irvin:: SCO: So, Captain, what new on the Fronteer, I hear Rumours of a new race and talk of Alliances... A Station is Hub for news but you hear it first hand.

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO_Johnson: That's right, its my office.

A_CIV_Taal says:
::wonders if this is one of those moments he should keep his mouth shut::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Kazue, you look fine.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: Sir, I'm not one to judge, but it was an order... I read it myself. ::she takes a seat in front of his desk::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
SCNS: Well, assuming a bar brawl doesn't break out mid-dance, you have yourself a partner.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
SCTO: Wonderful

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::smiles to Varan as the first course is is brough to the table:: MoD: I think my crew will tell you that my feelings of importance lay with the successful induction of the Amenti into the Federation.  While all the "glits and glamour" are great for tradition sake, I hope that we can be an intergaral part of what you and Minister Indira are going to do.

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: Do you know how hard it is to go to these things without the one person that means the most to you?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::glances around the room, almost suspicious, as if expecting that very sentence to bring on the kind of brawl you only see on dominion planets with a lack of white::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::turns his attention to the AXO::  AXO: Have you been briefed on what this banquet is all about?  It has a lot to do with the induction of a new race and society into the Federation.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: Heh... the one person that means the most to me is back on Earth... so yes...

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::starts eating her dinner::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: I just got married though.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: It is life, sir... but you can't let your feelings get in the way of your duty as a Starfleet Officer.

S_SO_Briea says:
::looks to the others::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: Why do you think I'm in here.

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::dismisses the comment with a wave of his hand:: SCO: Yes, Yes I read the Brief, but what say you personally, is what you have seen good for the federation?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: I'm glad to hear that, Captain.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
SCNS: You never did tell me how shore leave went, Milly.

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: Where is the food??? I hope they aren't just going to give speeches...

ACTION: A server passes by the head table, trips over her own feet, and spills several glasses of white wine all over the Ministers, Captain Irvin, and Commander Bodine.

A_CIV_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Perhaps their intent is to cover the guests with the food.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
AXO: Well...  ::conciders his words carefully::  There are several angles upon which the induction of the Amenti can be...  DOH!!!!   ::looks up with a quick glaring look::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::looks horrified::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::appears from behind a security officer at this point, camera in hand::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::She closes her eyes as the white wine covers her::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::stands up quickly:: Server: Foolish child!

S_SO_Briea says:
::giggles as she notices the spill::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::glances at his Chief Medical Officer who is making a sene about food as if the tables lined with it where not enough evidence he looks at the ACMO with a smile knowing she just having fun::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<Server> MoD: I... I...sorry, sir! I tripped!

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
Self: At least it's white wine....  

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: God, I hope not... Oh look... the Vulcan is about to smack him.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::frustrated tone of voice::  Server: I noticed Yeoman...   

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::dips into the food in front of her::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::snaps a picture or two, contemplating sending that to a tabloid or three, and moves back in amongst the small gathering of security::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<Server> ::she freezes in place, not sure what to say::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::rubs the bridge of her nose in frustration::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: That would imply the Vulcan minister is being emotional. I doubt that conclusion, Kazue.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::quickly gets up to assist Minister Irdira from her chair, obviously soaked::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: He's about to do something_...

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::tries futily to wipe the wine from his robes::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::looks over at the comotion, and raises an eyebrow, then winks at Millicent:: SCNS: I dare say, you know how to plan a good party. ::grins::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::She looks up toward the server and begins to giggle:: Server: My dear, it is not a problem in the slightest. Just be a bit more careful next time. ::She stands from the chair::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::takes the shot::

S_SO_Briea says:
::watchs the commotion and laughs lightly again::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: At least make an appearance...

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: It appears he is attempting to dry himself off.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::gets up and gestures to another server to get towels and get then cleaned up::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::the comment from Varan finally registers, but Irvin does not react::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: No one will even notice I'm gone.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: You're a Senior Officer, sir!

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<Server> ::she remains frozen for a few more seconds before running off::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::makes a hand motion to a few guards, and they move to flank the ministers, assuming they're deciding to retire to their quarters... or someone else decides to throw things at them::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::sits back down, mortified::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::looks to Mille and nods at her to tend to the server::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::gets up dusting the few drops that spread to his own lap in the mess and advances on Commander Taal::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: Yeah, your point Ensign?

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::gets up again and walks to the kitchen to find the server::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: My point is that you should be out there.

A_CIV_Taal says:
::sees Commander Bodine approaching him::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
ALL: Please continue with your meal everyone.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::comes up beside the counsellor as she walks:: SCNS: Counsellor Rodos, if you would, might I have a moment of your time?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::She shakes her head slightly:: All: Well, we shall not let this ruin our dinner. SCO: May we all have fresh chairs?

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: Dismissed, Ensign.

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::points to the door::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::composes himself and looks for the man wearing the senior honor guard uniform:: SCTO: Come here, please.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: Fine. ::before she exits, she taps her Combadge:: *SCO*: Johnson to Irvin... ::and then exits the office::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
FNS: I suppose if you don't mind following me to the kitchen.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::astonished::  MoGA: Of course...  I was going to offer to escort you two to quarters to change....   

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::grabs the empty shot glass and launches it at the wall, watching it shatter::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::gets up, blinking, and makes his way towards the minister::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::glances at the ACMO and ACIV:: ACMO/ACIV: You two look cute. ::he said this wish such stength it was meant to deflect their amusement he walked past them toward the kitchen to find a wet towel not given them a moment to respond::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: Oh, nonsense. We are just a bit wet. ::She gazes toward Varan:: Varan: Aren't I correct, Varan?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::following next to her:: SCNS: I must say, counsellor, you do plan an excellent reception.

S_SO_Briea says:
::looks at the Ministers as they are a good ways down, but she is enjoying the fun that she sees::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
Indira: This robe is two hundred and fifty years old, Minister. It must be attended to. ::gestures to the Honor Guard commander:: SCTO: Take me to my quarters.

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: I believe that was emotional. ::referring to Commander Bodine::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::enters the kitchen::FNS: Thank you.

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::gives the AXO a raised eyebrow look:: AXO: Um, thanks?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
MoD: Really, Varan, a bit of wine never hurt a thing.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
Varan: Certainly, minister. ::motions for another officer to accompany them, and gives a questioning look to Varan's counterpart, silently asking if she's coming as well::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<Lead Server> CNS: Counselor, it seems Lucielle has retired for the evening....

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::looks to MoGA, then to the MoD::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::lifts a brow at Indira but turns away without saying anything to her:: SCTO: Lead the way. ::follows him out::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::begins to eat her food... trying not to shovel it down as fast as she can::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
Lead Server: All right, could you have her speak to me in the morning?

A_CIV_Taal says:
::spoons some plomeek soup into his mouth::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> *SCO*: Captain, Doctor Cartwright seems to be in Sickbay and refuses to join the Reception. I believe if you order him... he'll show.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::nods once to the captain, then not seeming to get a response from the other minister, starts for the door with his security counterpart::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
Lead Server: And send out some dry chairs for the VIPs

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<Lead Server> CNS: Yes, sir. I will have her do so.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow at the com signal::  

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::convinces he was clean enough he moves back into the main room and made to clean the chairs off:::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: Were you ever in Starfleet Minister?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> SCNS: I do have to ask, counsellor, how long did it take for that to be rehearsed so fully?

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: This is delicious! You should have some. 

S_CNS_Rodos says:
FNS: What part?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: No, Captain. I have been in politics all of my adult career.

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::walks down the corridors of the Vulcan ship:: SCTO: This ship is agreeable.

A_CIV_Taal says:
::looks at Kazue's food:: ACMO: What is it?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> SCNS: Well, all of it. I mean, it was all quite so well timed... ::trails off::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: I don't know... whatever it is, it's good!

Host Capt_Regnum says:
::tries to avoid the mess as much as possible::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::exits the kitchen and goes back toward the reception::FNS: It took about a week to plan the details. I gave up some shore leave to do it.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::continues ahead of the minister, nodding:: Varan: We do aim to please, minister. If there's anything not quite to your liking, counsellor Rodos is the woman to see.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::still standing, turning to walk off for a second::  MoGA: Oh...  How nice...  Tell ya what....  You run my ship for a couple of weeks, and I'll deal with the beaurecrats...  Deal?  ::chuckles::

S_SO_Briea says:
::quietly sighs::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::she smiles ever-so-slightly:: SCO: If only it was that easy.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::nods, making a few notations on a PADD, and moves away, hiding a smirk behind someone's back::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::lofting a chair infront of him and moving it from te room he bumps into the SCNS::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: No thank you, Kazue. I prefer the palate of this plomeek soup.

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
SCTO: What I like is irrelevant. My needs will be met I am sure.

Host Capt_Regnum says:
AXO: Having fun John?

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::stumbles a bit::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::laughs:: ACIV: I know you do.

A_CIV_Taal says:
::puts another spoonful into his mouth::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::walks away from the table momentarily::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::slaps com badge::  *MO* Irvin to Johnson...  What's going on down there?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::pauses outside the door, and nods to the two officers standing outside, one of whom enters in a code to release the lock:: Varan: Here you are, minister.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> *SCO*: As I said sir... the Doctor is in his office, drinking...

A_CIV_Taal says:
::finishes up the soup and starts on his salad::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::grabs the whiskey bottle and stares at it, pondering chugging it::

S_SO_Briea says:
::excuses herself from the dinner::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
SCNS: Oops, Very Sorry couldn't see a thing .. where should I put this ? ::he motioned the chair::

ACTION: The quintet begins to play some up-beat dance music.

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::finishes her first plate and starts on a second:: ACIV: This baby is making me hungrier than I think I've ever been. Well, except that time I got lost in the wilderness for two days...

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::brushes past Arinoch and steps in, looking around and finding the room opulently apointed, regarding it with a slightly disapproving gaze:: SCTO: Luxurious. ::manages to make the word sound like a bad thing as he steps inside, making his way over to the luggage that had been brought over from Arcadia::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::sighs::  

A_CIV_Taal says:
::hears the music::

A_CIV_Taal says:
::stands up and offers his hand to Kazue::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
Regnum: Nice Party huh Captain .. ::pretending Regnum had not be watching him all along::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
A_XO: The Head Server is having clean chairs brougt out. So just set it anywhere.

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: May I have this dance?

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::sets the bottle down and sighs as his eyes well up::

Host Capt_Regnum says:
XO: For someone who spent months inside my head why do you still call me Captain, I'm not even your Captain anymore.

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: A dance? ::looks at her food and then up at Taal:: Oh, okay. ::smiles::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::appears behind Indira, that sweet smile plastered on her lips:: Indira: Minister, a moment of your time, if you would?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
Varan: They are designed with luxury in mind, yes. ::admires the Vulcan ability to state the obvious::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
Collins: Of course. ::she smiles:: Collins: What questions may I answer?

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Unless you would prefer to eat. I understand considering how you have not been this hungry since you were lost for two days in the wilderness...

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
*MO* Ok...   Would you please respectfully remind the Doctor that Senior staff presance is under direct order...   I'm going to go sit back down for about 10 minutes to maintain an appearance...   If Doctor Cartwright hasn't made it up here by then, I'm coming down there.  Would you please relay that message?

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: No its okay... I can always eat later. ::follows him to the dance floor:: 

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> *SCO*: Aye, sir... ::she turns back to the SCMO's Office::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::breaks down and begins to cry, uncontrollably::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> ::she enters the Doctor's office and takes a step back into the door:: SCMO: It seems you've drank a bit too much...

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::putting the chair aside:: Regnum: We are among others, and important folk and all it is proper sir.

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::shakes his head with his face still in his hands::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
*MO* Thank you.... Irvin out.  ::turns back to the table, trying not to look quite so frustrated::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> Indira: This signing has been in the works for at least 2 decades, in spite of the opposition offered by those who already believe we've expanded enough. How is it you managed to push it through for approval, minister?

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::takes his seat again as the next course makes it around::  MoGA: My appologies....  

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
SCNS: Very well, so may I Inquire to whom I have bumped into so that I might apologise properly?

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::undoes the ties of the outermost robe, slipping it over his shoulders and off, laying it on the bed::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
AXO: I am the Sharikahr's CNS, Lt. Millicent Rodos

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::shoots the captain an irritated look, as if to say "How dare you impeed my job!"::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
Collins: Since the time of the Dominion War, the United Federation of Planets have needed... ::she turns to the Captain and smiles:: SCO: Not a problem, Captain. Would you care to dance?

A_CIV_Taal says:
::reaches the dance floor and takes hold of Kazue's hands in his own::

S_SO_Briea says:
::heads to the holodeck::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::opens a small kit and withdraws a small bottle and a glowing device. Spraying a fluid from the bottle over the material before slowly waving the glowing device to remove the stain::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: Remember when I taught you to dance? 

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
ACNS: Ah Yes Counselor I have heard of you, though never a face with the name. A Pleassure to meet you. ::he made to shake hands::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::stands outside the door, exchanging information with the guards on duty and waits for the minister to be finished::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
Indira: I'd love to.  Granted, it's been a while.  ::winks::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::stands and helps the Minister with her chair::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::shakes his hand: AXO: And who might you be?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
Collins: We'll finish this later. ::she stands and moves toward the dance floor with Elisha::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Yes, I believe those were the hardest lessons I have ever had.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::raises an eyebrow, and steps out of the way as they make to dance, snapping a picture as the two walk away::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: But you remember the steps. ::smiles::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::when satisfied the stain has been removed, he carries the robe over to the closet and hangs it up, retrieving another and slipping it on, sashing it tight::

A_CIV_Taal says:
::starts to move his feet in accordance to the rhythm::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: Do you prefer slow or spirited dance?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: Come on Doctor... your wife still loves you. ::she kneels down next to him::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::strolling to the dancing area::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::reappears at the door to his quarters and opens it:: SCTO: We may return now.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: Whatever you prefer, Captain. ::she smiles as they both step onto the dance floor::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::he says nothing as he cries::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: Come on already! Get over it!

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::nods once, and wordlessly moves to lead the minister back to the reception::

Host Capt_Regnum says:
::finds his way to the Sharikahr's SO:: S SO: Why, if it isn't Ensign Briea, how are you enjoying your time on the Sharikahr?

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Yes, I remember the steps to the waltz. However, I do not believe the waltz is an appropriate selection for this type of music.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: You familiar with an old Earth dance called "The Jitterbug?"

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::turns away from MO Johnson::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: I am not... what does it involve?

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: Whatever you're doing is fine. ::laughs::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: This is not worth it! You are being a child, Doctor!

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: I picked up these lessons from Mr. Randall before I was stationed on Starbase 245.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::idly thinking they could have picked a bit more of a... hm... conversational... diplomat, but just keeps walking, walking walking...::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: Really? Any particular reason? 

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::yelling:: MO: Get out!

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::strolls unhurriedly back down the corridor, in no rush to return to the crush of aliens swarming the room in fervent emotionalism::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: It's a fast paced dance in 4/4 time with a couple of twirls and so forth....  Perhaps something a little slower to begin with....  

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: I've been ordered to bring you to the Reception Hall by Captain Irvin. I will do no such thing.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::looks to the brass quintet::  Quintet leader: Moonlight Seranade if you please....  

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::turns his face to the dance floor seeing the ACMO and ACIV dancing:: Self: Glad to see they'ev stopped gocking but .. ::his mouth hng slight open he had never seen a Vulcan embrace dancing before::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::she chuckles:: SCO: Show me... and I will make that decision.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
<Delete Last>

S_SO_Briea says:
::enters the holodeck and starts up a program::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Ms. Goldberg aske... begged me to take Mr. Randall out of her "hair" for one night...

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: I can't go like this.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA:  Ok...  You asked for it...  ::motions to the brass quintet to halt::  

Host Capt_Regnum says:
<Strike my last>

S_CNS_Rodos says:
AXO: This may be forward of me but would you like to dance?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::moves towards the reception hall, thinking Cardassia would be more fun than being stuck at a reception he's forced by regulation to attend::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
CPU: Computer...   One O'Clock Jump as performed by The Glenn Miller Orchestra...  

ACTION: The Brass Quintet stops playing their music and the song One O'Clock Jump begins to play.

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: We started talking and the conversation of dancing arose. I mentioned you taught me to waltz, and he said that the waltz was... 'hoity toity'. Suffice it to say, I still do not know what that means. That terms is not in any of the language databases I have looked in.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::grasps the hand and waist of the MoGA, and leads off with a spin around into 4/4 step::  

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::laughs::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: I can't go like this.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
Lightly pokes the AXO to get his attention:: AXO: would you like to dance?

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::snaps another couple pictures of the dancing captain and minister, then makes her way across the room towards the door::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::she spins with the SCO, a bit taken back, but laughing all the same::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
CIV: Oh, they're playing a fast song... I'll have to sit this one out, I think...

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: And why is that?

S_SO_Briea says:
::she shuts down the program and leaves the holodeck, heading back to the party. To her, her family is gone and she can't stop herself from thinking constantly as of late... of them::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: I'll ruin it.

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: No you won't. It just takes time.

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::reaches the large doors of the hall and follows Arinoch inside, almost frowning at the music booming through it:: SCTO: You may return to your duties. ::walks away from him without looking back, making his way to the head table once more::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
SCNS:Uh .. ::back to his senses he smiles and takes the SCNS's hand:: It would be an Honor. ::leads the Counselor to the dance floor::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::twirrls the Minister out away from him, then pulls her back in again, her robe flapping in the breeze::  

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: You are quite skilled!

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
::nods, knowing the ministers can't sneeze without his people knowing about it in here::

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Yes, perhaps it would be best.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::immediatly starts twirling and dancing "the jitterbug"

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: You're not bad yourself Ma'am....   ::double turn::  

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: I don't have enough time to compose myself.

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> ::blindsides Varan as he leaves Donavin, that smile still evident:: Varan: If you wouldn't mind, minister Varan, might I have a minute of your time?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: You can do it, Doctor. Just take a deep breath and go on out there!

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
MO: Give me a few minutes alone, please?

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::she turns, allowing the SCO to lead:: SCO: Dancing is one of my strong points.

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::sits down along the wall, watching everyone dancing::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::steps back to get the woman out of his personal space:: Collins: If you require it. ::looks her over::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
<MO_Johnson> SCMO: Aye... ::she exits his office, but waits outside of the door::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
SCNS: Shall I lead ..

S_CNS_Rodos says:
AXO: Sure

S_SO_Briea says:
::enters the reception area::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: Respectfully, being a beaurecrat, I would expect so.  ::smiles happily::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::stands and puts the bottle back in the replicator, then walks to the mirror and stares at himself for a long time::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
SCO: Touche, Captain. Touche.

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::takes a leading step and attempts to handle the dance and his partner will Eligance and Respect::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> Varan: Rachel Collins, federation news service, minister. You've been a known opponent of the proposed initiative for some time. What prompted the sudden shift in position?

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::smiles encouragingly, and shows him what to do::

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::continues dancing as the song nears it's end, spinning the Minister, 8 to the bar::

Host UFP_MoGA_Indira says:
::she continues to follow Elisha's lead, laughing every so often::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::leans into the mirror and places his head against it, facing down::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
SCNS: I have not danced like this in many years.. sense .. ::he stopped abruptly::

S_SO_Briea says:
::watches the others dance::

S_CNS_Rodos says:
AXO: It's all right you are doing fine

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
::chooses his words carefully:: FNS_Collins: The projected productivity numbers of Starfleet's construction facilities fell short of their actual output. Starfleet is now dangerously underequipped. The Amenti's induction will help alleviate a percentage of that inequity.

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
::as the song slows to and ending, he dips the minister, gently::

A_CMO_Kimura says:
ACIV: Wow... that Captain can sure put a move on the minister! ::laughs::

Host A_XO_Bodine says:
::kisses the SCNS gently on the hand in respect and thanks::

S_CTO_Arinoch says:
<FNS_Collins> Varan: I look forward to a more indepth interview after this little.. get together.

S_CNS_Rodos says:
::smiles::

UFP_MoD_Varan says:
FNS_Collins: I have little doubt that I will provide another interview. See my aide to arrange it.

A_CIV_Taal says:
ACMO: Do you think his motives are political or personal?

A_CMO_Kimura says:
::laughs and takes his hand:: ACIV: Wouldn't you like to know?

Host S_CO_Irvin says:
MoGA: This is usually where I kiss my partner, but... in the interest of decorum...   ::smiles a politically correct smile::

S_CMO_Cartwright says:
::shakes his head:: Self: I'm losing it.
