CEO_Terumo says:
*EO Salu*: I will be leaving now. You can catch me in the Admiral's estate, in case anything comes up.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: changes into a white tunic, blue jeans....a denim jacket and black Stetson. Taking a metal pot in his hands he walks to the TR.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::feels the transporter effect and materializes at the Admiral's estate::

CEO_Terumo says:
<EO_Salu>*CEO*: Aye, Sir. I'll contact you if the need arises.
CNS_Brabas says:
To Transporter chief: Please, I need to get to the estate of Star Fleet Admiral Alexander.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks off as Rogers nods the affirmative, busy in progress reports.::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::walks up to the Admiral:: ADM: Trish, you are going to spoil him rotten and make him fat. Look at his stomach.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks around, remembering the last time he was here, moving towards the gathered::
CNS_Brabas says:
<Transporter chief> CNS: I need you to give me closer input on the map! ::He shows on the console::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rojer:  It is the prerogative of the adoptive mother to spoil the children!  Anyways, I didn't do all that... guess who did?  ::she laughs::
CEO_Terumo says:
::notices the CNS enter the TR and follows his path:: Transporter Chief: Make that two, please.
OPS_Nash says:
::she readjusts the bag on her shoulders then she walks right in and finds where everyone is meeting::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::laughs:: ADM: Little Miss. I think he's going to give me a hard time when I get to Earth.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: How are you doing, Doc?
Host XO_Worthington says:
::notices the Admiral and walks over:: Adm: Hello Admiral.
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: Oh how are you!?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Works his way back to the middle of the reception area, waiting for everyone to arrive.::
CNS_Brabas says:
::He walks toward transporter chief::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Ready to blow off some stress with your friends?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Hello Trent... what do you think of the decorations? ::turning to point to the grounds::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::smiles at Trent:: XO: May I add my congratulations to the promotion, Trent. Well deserved.
OPS_Nash says:
::sees the group gathered so she walks over to them::  ALL: Is this a private party or can anyone join?
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: They are lovely. ::sees the Captain:: Rojer: Captain! It is very good to see you.
CEO_Terumo says:
::steps onto the pad as the CNS talks to the Transporter Chief::
CNS_Brabas says:
To Transporter chief: Here you are near Catarian Mountains! CEO: Ah you will my friend!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO: And of course, he will not admit to any hand in your promotion Trent! ::thumping Rojer on his arm::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm/ XO/ OPS/ Lyon: Greetings, a beautiful day.
MO_Dane says:
::looks around at the place, Betazed wouldn't be a bad place to live....::::
Rojer_Lyon says:
XO: Not Captain anymore, my friend. ::grins at the Admiral:: But always your friend. Tell me, do you want me to take something to your mother on Earth? I'm leaving tomorrow.
CNS_Brabas says:
::He tries to move bear to hold him and he all most loses it on the floor::
OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  This is a good day, though it would be better if Kevin were here.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, yes it is.  I couldn't have ordered a more perfect one.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::turns:: OPS: You have to ask? ::gives her a hug:: Congratulations, Kyleigh.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Is everything all right with you?!
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: I know one good drink to leave stress behind! It is called alcohol! ::Smiles::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer: Of course, Captain, I mean sir. Yes, I would very much like if you could deliver a hand written letter. I think it will make her feel better.
CNS_Brabas says:
To Transporter chief: We are ready to transport!
OPS_Nash says:
::is caught off guard with Lyon's sudden hug but smiles through it::   Lyon:  Thank you, good to see you again.
CEO_Terumo says:
::grins:: CNS: I read you loud and clear. Let's go down, shall we?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  How is the pregnancy going Kyleigh?  I hope yours is as easy as mine was.
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Yes it is sir. All stations are locked down.
Rojer_Lyon says:
XO: Of course I will do that... and I'm not sir either. I'm Rojer, or shall I have Tio bust you down to crewman recruit?
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer: No sir. No need to do that.
CNS_Brabas says:
<Trans.Chief>CNS/CEO: Ready here on your command!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::loves to hear her crew at ease, and hopes the rest of the evening will be just as enjoyable::
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  So far, I'm doing as well as expected, however, tiredness and nausea are lingering some.
CNS_Brabas says:
Trans.Chief: Get us there!
Rojer_Lyon says:
::smiles at Kyleigh:: OPS: So... tell me something. Any thoughts on godparents yet? ::gives her a sly smile::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  You have to try chamomile tea... it works wonders!
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Lyon: Despite the Transfer, you are still a Captain, Sir.
OPS_Nash says:
Lyon: Is that a hint?
CEO_Terumo says:
::feels the transporter active and finds himself on the Adm.'s estate, facing a beautiful garden:: CNS: Look who's here!
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  I will think about that.
Host Adm-Alexander ACTION:  The CNS and CEO are beamed to the front yard of the Admiral's estate. 
Rojer_Lyon says:
XO: Trent, I'm going to beat you with a blunt object if you call me sir again. All: That goes for anybody else. We're not on duty, and I'm here as a friend.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: enters just as the Counselor and Chief Engineer are beamed down.:: Transporter Chief: One to beam down to Admiral Alexander’s shindig. Also...need ya to beam that package I told ya about from my quarters down there as well.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::chuckles:: OPS: Am I that obvious?
CNS_Brabas says:
::Materializing::
OPS_Nash says:
::smiles::   Lyon:  Not that I noticed.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves over to the table and places his gift there, then moves back to the crowd:: Rojer: Ok, I will not call you sir anymore. It is good to see you, Rojer.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Lyon: Understood, Sir.  ::Snapping to attention as it's said, biting back a laugh.::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::smiles:: OPS: Keep it in mind... Talk to Kevin about it.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
<Transporter Chief>SO: Umm, Ensign, the transporter is having a problem with whatever it is in that pot sir.
OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  By the way, has anyone seen my husband, when I got up this morning, he was not in our quarters?
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: sighs:: Trans. Chief: Just set the filter up a notch.  Self: Always happens.
Rojer_Lyon says:
XO: And good to see you. ::grins at Tio:: ADM: Admiral, mind if I get something to beat your Captain with?
CNS_Brabas says:
::He walks toward the rest of the crew::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Lyon: You would have to catch me first.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rojer:  If you think you can catch him, go ahead!
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: beams down to the party....a large box is also beamed down by the table of gifts.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grins as Tio and she said the exact thing to him::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: No, I haven't seen him today.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::chuckles:: CO/ADM: I stand corrected then.
OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I hope he arrives soon, this is for him too. ::smiles::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::sees Gereth circling the food tables and calls him over::
CEO_Terumo says:
::sees what seems to be a table with gifts and adds his to the pile before going out to meet the others::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks around the beautiful estate:: Adm: I will have to have you visit my family estate on Earth. It has been in my family for generations.
CNS_Brabas says:
::In one hand he is holding a bottle of wine, and in one a tall big bear toy, and a big smile on his face::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO: I would love to see it.  And I am sure your mother would love to have you there as well.
Rojer_Lyon says:
ADM: I can whisk him off to Earth in the Sequoia, and he can bring it back...
OPS_Nash says:
::she hears something beep in her bag::  ALL: If you'll excuse me a moment.
CNS_Brabas says:
::Looks at CEO and does the same but leaves a holodeck program with him::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  While we are waiting for Kevin to arrive, let's start eating!  I am so hungry I could eat a horse!
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: looks about and whistles.::  Self: Whooo-wey....this is some ranchero the Admiral has.
Rojer_Lyon says:
XO: It will beat a letter any day. ::lets the suggestion hang::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Horse meat?  Interesting, I haven't tried that yet.
CEO_Terumo says:
::reaches the others:: Lyon: Sir, what a great surprise. It's great to see you! How have you been?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::chuckles at Tio thinking she would eat a horse::  CO:  Tio, that is just an old earth saying... it means I am VERY hungry!
Rojer_Lyon says:
CEO: I'm well thanks Terumo. Alive and well thanks to all of you. And please drop the "sir". I just had to convince the others. ::smiles::
CNS_Brabas says:
::Walks toward all::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer: Yes, she would definitely love to see me, as would I love to see her.
OPS_Nash says:
::she goes off and reaches in her bag for her PADD, a communiqué is waiting, its from Kevin, she reads it and doesn't like what she read.  She rereads it, then puts the PADD back in her bag and rejoins her friends::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rojer:  We have enough down time, if Trent would like to, he has my permission, but I think you need to consult Tio.
CNS_Brabas says:
ALL: Good day! ::Smiles::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles.:: Adm: I know, I have served with enough Humans to know that.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: sees the Admiral in the distance and walks over to her....::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, you made a joke?  I am so pleased!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Hello Doctor... welcome to the party.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::turns to Tio:: CO: Can you spare your XO for a while? I want to take him to see his mother. I think its only right, after the news I had to give her.
CEO_Terumo says:
Lyon: You got it, Sir. No, no Sir. No wait... ::sighs:: well, thank you. I'll do my best.
CNS_Brabas says:
Adm: It is good to be here! Nice place.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: waits for the others to finish talking as he holds the metal pot he brought down.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: We have the time, and he has the leave built up.  And I do joke, it's just it's a bit dry for many to catch.  At least that's what I've been told.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::can't help but grin:: All: Ok, I give up. Call me Rojer, Sir, Captain... I don't mind.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer: Aye Captain Rojer, sir.
CNS_Brabas says:
::Begins to laugh::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Perhaps we can get to know one another better...
OPS_Nash says:
::with a long face::   ALL:  Kevin is going to be awhile. He is still waiting for his parents.  Their transport is suffering some sort of mechanical problems.  They hope to be here in about 3 hours.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
Adm. Alexander: Excuse me, Ma'am...but where is the food being set up at...I have to set this down somewhere...
CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: Thank you for inviting me. It's always wonderful to be here, specially in such great company.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: I don't doubt we will.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::laughs:: XO: Well, seems your Captain is all for the idea. If you want to go see your mother in person, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, 0800 for Earth... if we can get the Sequoia, the trip will be much more pleasant than some transport.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
SO:  Over here, just follow me... everyone seems to want to talk, while I want to eat!  What is it by the way?  ::moving towards the food::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::puts an arm around Kyleigh:: OPS: Well, then. We'll make up for it somehow.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer: Well, how could I refuse such a wonderful offer.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Sorry to hear about Kevin, but do you want us to postpone until he can attend?
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: grins :: Adm. Alexander: It's a family recipe that’s been handed down for generations...we call it "Thermonuclear Chili".
CNS_Brabas says:
Adm: This is something for the host. ::Gives a bottle of old wine to Adm.:: It is our custom!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
SO:  Then by all means, I will try some of it...
Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: That's disappointing, but 3 hours shouldn't leave them out of the party.  It should go that long.
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  That is up to you, I mean, its your home that we are "invading".  We wouldn't want to put you out.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Thank you Doctor!  Please open so everyone can have a taste.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: You haven't attended one of the Admiral's parties yet... "From dusk 'till dawn" is the motto here.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Why don't we go ahead Kyleigh... you can tell Kevin about everything.  Plus ::leaning over and whispering::  I am recording everything and will give you a copy.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Lyon: I've been to one, but I've heard of the tradition.  That's why 3 hours shouldn't be too long.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: sets the pot down and uncovers it...the mere vapors causing his eyes to water....::  Adm. Alexander: You might want to go easy on this stuff....It took me forever to find a pot that wouldn't melt from this stuff... :: grins as he steps aside::
CEO_Terumo says:
OPS: I'm sure we won't even notice the time passing. With a group like this you won't think of it again until he's coming thru the door.
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  Okay, he will be disappointed that he missed this.
CNS_Brabas says:
Adm: Is there any cork opener?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: May I?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Over there on the drinks table Doctor.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I have to ask, where is T'Sara?
Rojer_Lyon says:
::blinks:: CO: You are correct... the wedding when Barney entertained us. I forgot.
CNS_Brabas says:
CO: Be my guest!
OPS_Nash says:
CEO: Believe me, I will know when he comes through the door.  The whole place changes when he walks into a room.
CNS_Brabas says:
::Gives bottle to Lyon::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, she is in the house taking a nap... Gereth and Rojer wore her out... otherwise, we would have flying food everywhere!
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs the bottle, sticking a claw in the cork and pulling it out.::  All: Cultural diversity at it's best.
OPS_Nash says:
Lyon:  Please, don't remind me about that creature who nearly wrecked my wedding.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::reaches out to take the bottle, just to have Tio whip it away from him:: CO: Nice...
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::begins to grin at Tio taking out the cork with his claw::  CO: Now Tio, that is a first!
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: If she is up later, I would like to say hello.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: As I said, I've served with other cultures long enough to learn a trick or two.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::bites his lip:: OPS: Sorry. ::watches Gereth as he circles the crew.
MO_Dane says:
::wanders over towards the CNS:: CNS: How's it going sir ?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Who is that person standing over there by herself?  The one with the medical insignia?
CNS_Brabas says:
::Smiles: CO: Ok you will come with me in every bar that I am going to need this kind of help!
CNS_Brabas says:
MO: Oh please don't use Sir.
CEO_Terumo says:
::smiles at OPS, followed by a loud laughter after seeing what the CO just did:: CNS: I bet some times you wish you had claws!
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Sorry, I don't like the atmosphere in most bars.  Unless there is a nice Dart board?
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: takes a few minutes to enjoy the interaction....picking up a glass of whiskey from the drink table and walking over to one side.  The party reminding him of his family BBQ's::
CNS_Brabas says:
MO: I am beginning to get a high complex problem! ::Smiles:: Jovan would be nice!
MO_Dane says:
CNS: Sorry si...Jovan, take some getting used to.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks around:: Adm: Who?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::taking a plate, she begins to help herself to the food::  ALL:  Ok folks, if I don't see people helping themselves to food in 1 minute, I will throw it away!
OPS_Nash says:
::suddenly the smell of the food reaches her and she starts to feel a small wave of nausea, she leans over to the Admiral::  ADM:  By chance, is there a simple broth like soup over there?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  She is now speaking to the CNS.
CNS_Brabas says:
CO: To scratch it Of course! ::Looks at Lyon with a smile::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::walks over to the drinks table and pours a scotch:: SO: Irish, Scottish or Andorian? ::indicates the whiskey he's holding::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Of course my dear... try the plomeek soup, very easy on the tummy.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I believe that is Doctor Dane.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS: Would a glass of milk help?
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
Lyon: Scottish. That Andorian stuff is like drinking water.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Bring her over here and introduce her to me.  You know I like to know everyone on the ship.
CNS_Brabas says:
MO: Please join us!
CEO_Terumo says:
:overhears the Adm and moves over to her location:: Adm: Any recommendations, ma'am?
CNS_Brabas says:
MO: It is good and how are you!
OPS_Nash says:
ADM: Thank you, I'll take some of that, and also, some crackers.  ::grimaces at the mere mention of milk::  ADM:  Maybe some water.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::chuckles:: SO: I would have to agree. Although I can't decide between whiskey or bourbon.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  If you will look over there Terumo, you might see some of your planet's delicacies...
MO_Dane says:
CNS: Pretty good, you know Sickbay just isn't the same without you.....::smiles::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::the admiral looks up and motions for one of the staff to help Kyleigh::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs a plate and some appetizers, cold cut roles,
Host XO_Worthington says:
::walks over to the Doctor:: MO: Doctor, would you please come and meet the Admiral.
CNS_Brabas says:
::He makes  a place for MO::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::smiles slyly:: SO: I've been trying to decide for the past twelve years.
CEO_Terumo says:
Adm: My, you shouldn't have... ::starts to wander off to a corner table::
CNS_Brabas says:
::He slightly pushes her::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: not recognizing Rojer and just speaking plainly...:: Rojer: Real men drink whiskey...bourbon is used to train up for whiskey.
MO_Dane says:
CNS: I'll be right back...hopefully... ::Grins::
MO_Dane says:
XO: Of course ::follows, knowing for once she actually hasn't done anything wrong.  Recently at least::
CNS_Brabas says:
::Smiles:: MO: Enjoy your self!
Host XO_Worthington says:
::overhears the SO:: SO: Did someone say whiskey!?
Rojer_Lyon says:
SO: Valid point, but sometimes I feel the whiskey is just too much... call it a remnant of a busy Academy life.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Real beings don't need the assistance of alcohol, in my opinion.
Rojer_Lyon says:
XO: Yes, Trent, we're discussing the finer points of whiskey and bourbon.
CNS_Brabas says:
SO: The real stuff?
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Admiral I would like to introduce bedside manner personified, Doctor Dane.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  Nice to meet you at last.  I wanted to thank you for taking care of Trent... He is one of the original crew when the Cherokee was commissioned, and his niece would have missed him.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: nods and holds up a glass...:: XO: Right over here, sir....:: turns to the CO: Sir, Alcohol is a test of a man's wisdom and constitution.  Whether we have the wisdom not to overindulge...and the constitution for when we do.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::leans over and takes some food, noticing the raw meet for Gereth and snags a couple of pieces::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::reaching out she takes the surprised Ensign in a hug::
OPS_Nash says:
::she gets the soup, crackers and water and sits down::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer/SO: Good old whiskey, I used to make my own.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  Welcome to our family...
CNS_Brabas says:
::Walks toward SO and CO::
CEO_Terumo says:
Self: Wait, that smell... could it be!? ::picks up a plate and starts filling it to the brim from a tray close by::
MO_Dane says:
::inclines her head respectfully:: ADM: I've only been around the C's sickbay... ::Whoa !  Touchy feely....::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: I have to disagree.  Wisdom is gone when it's tasted, and there are far better tests of constitution.  Again, in my opinion.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::mentally summons his fire lizard who comes to sit on his shoulder, and feeds him::
CNS_Brabas says:
ALL: A smell of alcohol on in the nature!
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: smiles and downs the glass with a small twitch of his eye....:: Lyon/XO: Oh man....I haven't had this since I snook into my Pa's liquor cabinet when I was 16....
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  I am a hugger, have I offended you?
MO_Dane says:
ADM: I'm afraid my beside manner amount to bribery with lollipops, and the Commander here was the most instrumental being in his recovery, ultimately it's all up to the patient.
CNS_Brabas says:
ALL: That is not good for brain but good for soul! ::Smiles::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::chortles:: SO: Snook?
Host XO_Worthington says:
SO: Ensign, I think I may have to label you a security risk. ::grinning::
MO_Dane says:
Adm: No it's not that ::a little flustered::  Just not used to it sir! ::smiles::
OPS_Nash says:
::she begins to eat her soup slowly, while taking in all the happenings around her::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes a step back from the bar, not wanting to get in a debate about the "value" of alcohol while at a social gathering.::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::Gereth, all stuffed with the raw meat, flies over and lands on the bench next to Kyleigh, laying his head on her stomach and croons at her::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::laughing her gentle ringing laugh::  MO:  Please, this is informal, call me Trish, but otherwise, Maam, since I don't think I look like a Sir! ::grinning at her::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
Lyon: Yeah...snook...waited till he was gone with my Ma to the hospital....got sick to my stomach on a fifth of a bottle....taught me something about self control....
MO_Dane says:
::No you most definitely do not.....:: ADM: Yes...Trish, It's Tempest over here by the way. ::smiles again::
CEO_Terumo says:
::rejoins the others, a full dish in one hand and a glass of red wine on the other:: All: The admiral really outdid herself. This is my favorite dish from back home. I hadn't seen this for ages!
Host Adm-Alexander says:

Host XO_Worthington says:
::listens to the various conversations, enjoying the crew together in a social situation::
CNS_Brabas says:
::He gets one drink and goes toward the place with food and the rest of the crew::
MO_Dane says:
ADM: Yeah but then my sisters were named Rained and Storm....parents can sure have a sense of humor.... ::grins::
CNS_Brabas says:
::He takes a fast sip of all that was in the glass and shakes a little::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  Well, all of them are beautiful... very original.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: hands a glass of whiskey to the XO:: XO: Your looking a lot better there, sir!
Rojer_Lyon says:
OPS: I see greedy guts over here has come to congratulate you as well.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks to Kyleigh and takes a seat::  MO:  Get some food and come back by me... I am hungry!
OPS_Nash says:
::sees Rojer walk up to her::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Rojer: I think I am going to reinstate the weekly poker game. ::looks at the glass:: SO: No, no thank you, I don't drink anymore.
CEO_Terumo says:
::tries to eat while balancing the glass and plate, but ends up setting the glass down on a table:: Self: And this is really good, too!
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Poker?  I've heard great things about that game.  Can you teach me?
Rojer_Lyon says:
::turns slightly:: XO: Excellent idea. I plan on cleaning out SFC when I get there.
CNS_Brabas says:
SO: And any less! ::smiles::
MO_Dane says:
::goes over to the table picking up a plate and various utensils::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::listens to her crew, joke and kid with each other... smiling at them all::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: shrugs and downs the offered glass.....thinking that two drinks is more than enough.:: XO: Did you say Poker, sir?  My Pa taught...me..well...it was awhile ago. :: grows silent.::
OPS_Nash says:
Lyon:  Thanks.  Kevin and I are really happy.  This really couldn't have happened at a better time in our lives.
Rojer_Lyon says:
~~~ADM: A family, won't you say?~~~
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: No sir. No Captains allowed. They are not to be trusted. Besides, we don't want to see your poker face. ::laughing::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~Rojer:  Yes, and new faces as well.  You know me, I am happiest with my crew.  I just wish you were still here to be a part of it, but I know you must move on.~~~
CNS_Brabas says:
::Sits in an empty chair and relaxes::
CEO_Terumo says:
::overhears the poker conversation and joins the XO and Lyon:: XO: Have you got room for one more?
Host XO_Worthington says:
SO: Ah, is your father in Starfleet?
Rojer_Lyon says:
OPS: Well, I'm very happy for you. Have you decided on a name yet? Or is that too soon to ask.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: If you can't trust your Captain, who can you trust?
OPS_Nash says:
::takes another bite of her soup, then a sip of water, then she nibbles on a cracker::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
XO: He was.....Lt. Commander Hazzard ...served on the Saratoga.
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: That's my job. It's like good cop, bad cop. Everyone will fear you and trust me. ::keeps laughing::
OPS_Nash says:
Lyon:  Well, we have come up with a girl's name, haven't decided on a boy's name yet.  So far, we do not know the gender of the baby…………We hope it is a girl.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::watches as an attendant brings Kyleigh a special dish::  OPS:  Try this, I think you will like it and it will settle well on your stomach.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks over:: SO: Was? Is he no longer in Starfleet?
Rojer_Lyon says:
~~~ADM: Well, I know you come to Earth often, so we can hitch a ride on the Seleya sometime.~~~ ::knows that whenever he needs to talk to the Admiral like this, he just has to think, since she's always "listening"::
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  What is it?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~Rojer:  Of course... the Sequoia is always at your disposal.  Just let Tio know.~~~
Rojer_Lyon says:
OPS: Well, if you can't think of a boy's name... you can always call him Jared.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: struggles to maintain a calm face :: XO: No sir.  He lost his arm and leg during the evacuation of the ship at Wolf 359.  Retired with honor you could say.
CEO_Terumo says:
::sees the CNS sitting down to the side and joins him:: CNS: So, enjoying the party so far?
Host XO_Worthington says:
::changes his expression:: SO: I am very sorry to hear that Ensign. I am sure it was a great loss to Starfleet.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::smiles at the Admiral's message and conjures up a picture of him and her joyriding in the Sequoia while cloaked::
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: I am relaxed for now and tasted something that helped it!
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: And you?
OPS_Nash says:
Lyon:  We'll take that under advisement.
MO_Dane says:
::After filling her plates, wanders back over to the admirals location::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: nods and looks over at the drink table.:: XO: Its alright, sir.  If you'll excuse me....I think I need a few minutes. :: walks past the drink table..snatching another whiskey and walking over to a open corner.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  Right here next to me, I saved you a place.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smile disappears at SO's comment.::  SO: Take your time.
Rojer_Lyon says:
::chuckles:: OPS: All I can ask. It would be really presumptuous of me to suggest Rojer, so I went for the only important one in my life as alternative. You know, just to help give you ideas.
Host XO_Worthington says:
SO: I understand.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Well, it's been great so far. Great food, good drinks ::raises his glass and nods at the CNS::  wonderful company... a man could get used to this real quick.
Host XO_Worthington says:
CNS/CEO: Gentlemen. Could you join me for a moment.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~Rojer:  Something is wrong with the new SO... go find out what it is.~~~
MO_Dane says:
::takes the saved seat:: ADM: Thanks ::begins to eat not entirely sure of herself or engaging in conversation::
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: Oh, too quick if you ask me: He raises his glass and returns the nod to him::
OPS_Nash says:
Lyon:  I appreciate it.  So far we just have Kiandra Renee picked out.
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: Sure. ::stands up, ready to follow the XO::
CNS_Brabas says:
XO: Why not!
Rojer_Lyon says:
OPS: That's very beautiful. ::hears the Admiral:: Excuse me for a moment, please? ::walks over to the SO::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  You will find, I am an ordinary person, that likes ordinary things, and I take care of my crew.  Just act and say what you are comfortable with.  I do not judge.
CNS_Brabas says:
::Gets up::
Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO/CNS: I am thinking about reinstating the weekly poker game. Interested?
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: stares into his drink and sighs.....:: Self: Here's to you pa...:: takes another sip of his drink.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Rojer: Wait a minute.  ::Moves close and whispers.::  His father was at Wolf 359.  He just needs a minute.
CNS_Brabas says:
XO: I have little experience with it, but why not!
Rojer_Lyon says:
::gets waylaid by Tio:: CO: I see... ~~~ADM: It’s better if we just give him a moment.~~~
MO_Dane says:
ADM: Yes s...Trish ::grins:: They just had to beat obedience and respect to authority so hard that it's hard to get rid of it. ::Grins again::
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: well, one shouldn't loose those good traditions... so I guess you can count me in!
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO/XO: Here’s to that! ::Raises glass with drink::
Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO/CNS: Excellent. I knew I could count on you two. Now we need to corral some other participants.
CNS_Brabas says:
::And slightly drinks a sip from it::
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: That shouldn't be too hard!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  Well, you only call me Maam or Admiral when we are in an official capacity... here I am Trish and you are Tempest.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: sets the glass down on a nearby table and picks up a glass of water...deciding that he won't dwell.::
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO/XO: And we would not need to use a knife when calling them in!
Rojer_Lyon says:
::walks over to the SO:: SO: Feeling better now? ::looks a bit concerned::
CNS_Brabas says:
::Smiles::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves over to the MO:: MO: How are you Doctor? Enjoying yourself?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::picks up Rojer's thoughts and nods to herself::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  This is Tempest, and Tempest this is Trent.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
Lyon: Yeah....just kinda tough talkin about my Pa.  He didn't just lose an arm and a leg there....its like he lost a big piece of his heart.
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Tempest. That is an interesting name.
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: Do you know how to play it?
Rojer_Lyon says:
SO: I understand. Wolf 359 was a terrible time.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: I've got to confess that I haven't played in a while, but I'm sure it'll all come back to me quickly. In any case, maybe we can set up a few practice games to begin with.
MO_Dane says:
XO: Very good.  The third name in the weather vein....pun slightly intended ::smiles::  Rain, Storm and then Tempest.: takes a sip of her drink, non-alcoholic, knowing her tendency to do crazy things while inebriated::  How have you been? ::does not add, since we've seen you in sickbay last, it well enough implied::
OPS_Nash says:
::sitting there eating slowly, as to not to aggravate her nausea too much::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO/ CNS/ CEO: If you set that up, you need to set up a "Beginners table."
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
Lyon: Kinda the reason I went to Science....so I could figure a way to stick it to the Borg good and hard.  Sign my name on one of their cubes...."For Robert Hazzard..."
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Doing good. Say, can I interest you in a game of poker? ::said with a sly grin::
CNS_Brabas says:
CEO: I hope so to be sincere, I have played only a few times. I only know a few rules of it! ::He takes a sip from glass::
Rojer_Lyon says:
::Gereth croons as he lies in Kyleigh's lap, the vibrations from his throat seeming to help a little::
MO_Dane says:
XO: I haven't played poker in a while....and last I did it wasn't about the cards ::grins:: But I'd be up for a game.
Rojer_Lyon says:
SO: A good reason, but don't let it consume you.
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Excellent. Another victim! ::laughs heartily::
