Host Adm-Alexander says:
USS Cherokee 10411.28 Getting to Know You Part 10

Host Adm-Alexander says:
A departing flight for Earth has left with CTO Hazzard aboard.  He will be helping his father with his mother's recovery.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
For the time being, it appears that Smith and Diggs have made a clean getaway.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
The crew will now get some much needed rest while the Cherokee is still under repairs.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  I know this is short notice, but the Cherokee CTO had to make a return trip to Earth.  ::Looking at the Vulcan.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::In the security office, going over the latest sensor sweeps.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  ADM:  I have read a brief report on the matter, Admiral.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  So they were able to beam out from a locked, shielded cell during a high alert.  Impressive work.  Do we know for sure how it happened yet?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::In the security office, working with the CSO, near the CO and XO.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  I would like to introduce you to the crew.  They are good people Solen and have been through quite enough for a while.  ::Walking with him to the security office.::  Do you have any questions?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Looks up from the padd.::  CO:  Investigations are still ongoing; in any event they were well prepared for their mission. They must have planned it out for a while.

CTO_Solen says:
::Walks just behind, and to the right of the Admiral.::  ADM:  No, Admiral.  I believe I will learn all I need from this introduction.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Heads back over to the security office with OPS.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Goes over the pertinent data that the CEO has on the beam out from the brig.::  CEO:  Take a look at these readings of the beam out from the brig.  Internal sensors are showing some reference to nano technology at that area.  That would support a dimensional shift theory.

OPS_Nash says:
::Follows the CNS back to the Security Office.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  They knew what they wanted and how to get it.  Next question is how do we stop the next one?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Very good.  ::Walks into the security office.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, I have a new CTO for you.  Solen, this is Captain Tio Ayidee.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CSO:  Sure.  ::He leans slightly, and brings up the readings on his console.::  CSO:  Dimensional shifting .. nasty business, that.  ::Skims through the data.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Unfortunately the answer is simple.  We must find the KPF and bring the fight to them.

CTO_Solen says:
::pauses just beside the admiral, and nods to the CO as he's introduced::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Very good ma'am.  CTO: Welcome aboard, Mister Solen.

CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  Well now that we know the babies are all right, I think we can concentrate a little better.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:   If you would be good enough to introduce him to the rest of the crew.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  XO:  But we have to take steps.  Right now they have the offensive and can strike at will.

CSO_Nash says:
CEO:  Agreed.  And poor Diggs would probably not be protected from it as Smith was.  She seems to have some rather good funding for this exercise and Diggs may be suffering as he feared he would.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Walks over to the side and begins a conversation with Samantha Montegue.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Notices a Vulcan being introduced to the CO.  Wonders what he is doing here?::

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  I hope so, there will always be a part of my mind on the culprits who took them.  I would like to know why they did it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  All the more reason to hit them now, before they cause more damage.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Certainly, this is Commander Worthington, Executive Officer.  These men are Commander Nash, Chief Science Officer, and Lieutenant Illianor, Chief Engineer.

CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  I think if we can get some more information on Diggs and Diana Smith and how they are related, I think you might just have your answer.  ::Walks over to a computer console.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Gives a brief nod as the admiral leaves, then shifts his attention back to the CO.::  CO:  I have read the reports as filed on the current events by your former chief tactical officer.  ::Takes a moment to nod to the officers being introduced.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Nods at the CTO.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::He turns and nods slightly, before returning to the CSO.::  CSO:  If you look over here .. look at that sudden spike in energy .. as if subspace itself was being contorted in some massive exchange of energy.

CSO_Nash says:
::Nods to the CTO and puts his hand up in the Vulcan salute.::  CTO:  Greetings.

CTO_Solen says:
::Returns the salute.::  CSO:  And to you, Commander.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Good work, makes things easier to get you up to speed.

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Sure.  ::Pauses and reads some information but it doesn't fully seem comprehendible to her at the moment.::

CSO_Nash says:
CEO:  I see it.  Definitely supports the theory.

CTO_Solen says:
::Nods.::  CO:  Indeed.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Overhears the Vulcan talking with the Captain.  Feels a bit threatened by his taking over the CTO's job.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We have our Operations Officer and Counselor, Lieutenants Nash and T'Lin standing over there.

CTO_Solen says:
::Glances briefly toward the two as they're indicated, and returns his indifferent look to the CO.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gives a quick glance toward the CTO, nodding a bit, and then returning her stare to the computer console.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/OPS:  Lieutenants, Ensign Solen here will be covering Tactical until Lieutenant Hazzard is able to return to us.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CSO:  This is a huge, huge tool .. with this .. I don't even want to think of what they might be capable of.  There must be some way to block it.

OPS_Nash says:
::Nods to Ensign Solen.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Welcome, Ens. Solen.

CTO_Solen says:
::Glances back toward the CNS, sees she's involved in a console, and returns his attention to the CO.::  CO:  I would like to review what you have assembled so far with regards to the case surrounding Diana Smith, Captain.  ::Nods once more as both OPS and CNS address him, but says nothing.::

CSO_Nash says:
CEO:  I agree, but then it is about as easy to block as a Borg manifesting itself here and now.  Dealing with the problem in its current form, there is no way of blocking it, but working on each variable involved is an angle we should try.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I think we all need a rest from all of this.  I am inviting you to dinner at 19:00.  The Wayfarer Restaurant.  Please come dressed casually.  ::Remembers when she had to dress up for dinner and hated it.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  You can pull up the information on any of the consoles, but for now we need to figure out how to stop them from coming in unimpeded.

CNS_T`Lin says:
Adm:  Aye, Ma'am.

CTO_Solen says:
::Nods, but doesn't respond in any fashion to the Admiral, knowing full well she knows he'll be busy catching up.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Grumbles.::  Thinks:  Another?

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks up distractedly to the Admiral.::  Adm:  As you wish, Ma'am.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  And I do expect everyone to be there.  ::Nods to the crew and Sam, then turns and leaves the security office.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Looks at the CEO, and chuckles to herself.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm:  Aye, Ma'am, understood.

CSO_Nash says:
CEO:  You still having thoughts about last dinner?  ::Chuckles and pats him on the shoulder.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Moves to a vacant console, logs in, and brings up the information regarding the events surrounding Smith and Diggs.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::She sighs to herself, as it is always hard for a new person on a new ship, taking the position of a good friend who has just left.  She has been there before.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  What about the investigation, Sir?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Looks to the CSO, then grumbles again.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Walking to the restaurant, she calls the chef and places the orders for dinner.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Continues to idly read, though whether he's paying attention to the rest of the crew or not remains, for now, a mystery.::

CSO_Nash says:
CEO:  Oh and by the way, don't try to grab a bottle of bubbly in the Admiral's presence.  I'd hate to see you get keel hauled.

CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  I guess I should go get ready.  I will catch you at dinner.  ::Walks slowly back to her quarters, her thoughts not on the mission, nor on dinner, but with Hazzard.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Commander Montegue is more then capable, even if it wasn't something that happened on her station.  Right now, we may be as much in the way as helping.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Leaves the restaurant and goes to a few stores, making purchases and having them sent to the restaurant.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Sir.  ::Shakes his head.::  Never mind.  Excuse me, please.  ::Retrieves his padd, and makes his way out the security office.::

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Okay.  ::Goes to her quarters, and changes into the appropriate clothing.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  I'll see you at dinner.  We'll get 'em, as soon as the ship's ready to go.  ::Turns and heads for temporary quarters.::

CSO_Nash says:
::With the Captain's last exchange with the XO he turns his station over to the duty CSO and departs for their temp quarters.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Downloads the information to a PADD, shuts down his console, and heads for his quarters in the Starbase crew section.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Steps into the turbolift, tapping his padd against his left hand, as he heads for his temporary quarters.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Entering her quarters, she checks on T'Sara, then leaves to change her clothes for dinner.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Takes a quick shower, towels off, drying her hair.  She gets dressed into a pair of jeans and a pink sweater.  Stops in front of a mirror and fixes her hair.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Heads for his quarters, grumbling about getting pulled from an assignment.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs a tunic, slipping it on before headed to the door, just catching Barney as he tries to slip out the door.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Takes the padds he has been working on and enters his quarters and quickly showers and changes into nondescript attire.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Enters his quarters, and changes into a less duty, but still Starfleet uniform.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Takes a shower and dresses in casual attire.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She is sitting in a chair in their quarters, thinking.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Finishing her shower, she takes a silk wrap, looking faintly Japanese and donning it for her dinner with the crew.::

CSO_Nash says:
::After he freshens up he exits the restroom area of their quarters and sees OPS sitting in thought.::  OPS:  Why so pensive?  ::Looks at her with concern.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Heads towards the restaurant, trying to figure out how to stop an enemy who can't be seen and who can beam through shields.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Exits his quarters, noting he'll arrive at the restaurant 13.71 seconds after the scheduled start time.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Finishes dressing and thinks about recent events, especially being accused of conspiracy and kidnapping.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Exits her quarters, and makes her way to the restaurant, her hair still slightly damp.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  They are still out there and I need them to pay for what they did.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  When the crew arrives, they will find name cards in front of their plates, with a small gift for each person.

CTO_Solen says:
::Steps into the restaurant, PADD in hand, and moves to take up his seat, either ignoring or not noticing the gift.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::He sighs, as he steps into his quarters, and heads straight for his closet again .. pulling out some stuff.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Leaves his quarters and heads for the restaurant.::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  They will.  And we will be the ones to catch them.  We have the data to help us with that, but we need a ship that is in top condition.  And you know the saying. Good things come to those who wait and are patient.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Slips into his chair, idly pawing the package waiting for the others to arrive.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  I know.  Speaking of waiting, I don't think they will wait forever for us at the table.

CSO_Nash says:
::Prepares to leave.::  OPS:  Shall we?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Enters and sits at his assigned seat.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Gets up and lets the CSO lead her to dinner.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
Self:  Light-red tank top .. unbuttoned brown patterned shirt .. and some nice gray khakis.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Stops by the CEO's quarters on the way, and rings the door chime.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Exits their quarters heading to the Wayfarer.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::His eyes widen as he buttons up the khakis, and he steps into a pair of black suede-material shoes.::  CNS:  Come in, T'Lin.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Taking a last look at T'Sara sleeping, she quietly leaves her quarters to meet her crew for supper.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Hi, Adahn.  Do you have a minute.  I need a friend to talk to.  ::Looking a bit sad.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Goes back to studying the PADD, waiting on the rest of the crew to arrive.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::He turns around, unstraightening his brown shirt, and slowly lowers his hands.::  CNS:  Of course, T'Lin.  What's up?

CSO_Nash says:
::Arrives and makes his way to their name plaques.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Well, I think we're kind of pressed for time, so if we can just talk on the way?

OPS_Nash says:
::Finds her place and sits down, she notices the gift and brings it closer to her but she doesn't open it yet.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  Whatever.  How do I look?  ::Grabs a can of hair spray and spikes up his hair before heading for the door.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  I was, you know, just feeling a bit threatened by the new CTO taking over Mark's job.  ::Looks at the CEO's hair and smiles a bit.::  CEO: You look fine, Adahn.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Pushes OPS in as she sits and then sits in his chair.:: OPS: My lady.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Thank you.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  I mean, I understand the need for a new CTO, but is this not kind of fast?  I mean, Mark has not even been gone 24 hours.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Taking the TL, she gets off, heading for the restaurant.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow as he steps out, before gasping slightly, as he runs back in, grabbing a necklace and putting it on.::  CNS:  New CTO?  ::Laughs.::  Well, with Mark not being around, you'd think that a new CTO would be warranted, no?  And you know how Starfleet is.  ::Steps into the turbolift.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Continues to read, giving no indication of noticing the others arriving.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Feels uncomfortable but knows the Admiral would make him much more uncomfortable if he had not shown up.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Walking into the restaurant, she sees the majority of her crew have beaten her there.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Steps into the TL with the CEO.::  CEO:  I guess I am making a mountain out of a mole hill.  I will try to have a good time.  ::The TL comes to a stop and they make their way to the restaurant.::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  The Admiral is going out of her way to take our minds off of this and I think she should.  Better to have a fresh crew that is ready to depart with the ship.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Nods and steps off, leaning a little closer to whisper.::  CNS:  And this time, if you don't like red wine stains on your clothing ..  ::Nods, and steps into the restaurant.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, I see most of us are here.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Tries not to smile too much with the last remark.  Makes her way to the table and notices name tags at the table.  Her name tag is .. right next to the new CTO's.::  Self:  Great!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm:  Aye, Ma'am.  The rest should be here shortly.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Winces.::  CNS:  We better hurry.  ::Hops over to the table quickly, and grabs his seat .. which, revolting, has been marked by a name tag.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Please be seated.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gives a nod to the crew, and sits down in her chair.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Stood as the Admiral entered and now takes his seat seating OPS as well as they are told to have a seat.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Continues to read, whether he notices the CNS sitting down next to him or not remaining unclear.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I know we have all had some tense weeks lately.  Hopefully it will be peaceful for a while.  To show my appreciation, I have a small gift for each of you.  Please open them.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Opens up her box with her name on it.  There is a necklace with a charm of the Cherokee.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Gingerly lifts the box, opening it and glancing at the gift, bringing back memories of a simpler time.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Grabs the package in front of him and opens it.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Opens the box and takes out the gift.::  Adm:  Thank you very much, Ma'am.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Opens the box slowly, almost holding it as if it were poison .. he looks in .. what is it?::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  My pleasure Trent.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Sits back watching her crew, she loves to give presents more than promotions.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
Adm:  Thank you, Admiral.  It is beautiful.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Begins shuffling the deck of cards he was given, the Admiral must have remembered the eighty times he tried to get a card game struck up.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm:  Uh, thank you, Ma'am.  ::Continues looking at the picture, smiling.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Opens her gift to reveal a holo imager with a 5 X 7 picture of Liam and Kiandra, the background of the picture is a nice combination of blues and reds and pinks and purples, which all compliment themselves and the picture.  The picture was so adorable,  tears formed in her eyes.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Still has yet to open his gift, his attention more so on the PADD though he does observe.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Goes to put the necklace on, but accidentally bumps the new CTO, almost making him fall off his chair.::  CTO:  Oops.  I am sorry.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  Adm:  Um, thanks, Admiral.  ::Admires the knick knack doohickey thingy.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  If you will look past me, you will see a buffet table, filled with food for each species represented by our crew.  Whenever you are hungry, go help yourselves.

CTO_Solen says:
::Catches his balance fairly quickly, and raises an eyebrow.::  CNS:  No apologies are required, Lieutenant.  ::Moves his chair away from her slightly.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Opens the box and sees a holo picture of him holding both children with a background of the jungles of Betazed.::  Admiral:  Thank you, you truly know where our focus should be at this time.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Starts going through his card tricks, forgetting that everyone is watching.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO/OPS:  I am glad you liked them, but if you will turn around, you will see you little ones coming in the door now.

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks over to the door that the Admiral indicates and sees the children being brought in.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Turns and sees her little ones arrive, she gets up and grabs Kiandra and brings her to the table.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I thought she might like to have them with us tonight.

CTO_Solen says:
::Continues to read, but still appears to be observing the crew's interactions, with only mild curiosity.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  You have not opened your gift.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Looks over to the CNS.::  CNS:  What did you get?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  Adm:  They belong here as much as any of us.

CSO_Nash says:
::Goes over and takes Liam from the nanny and brings him to the table to be with them at this relaxing time.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Yes, they do, and thank goodness they are too young to know what just happened to them.

CTO_Solen says:
ADM:  I believe it is more important for me to review the current security situation, Admiral, than to indulge in .. how was it you put it .. social graces.

CSO_Nash says:
Adm:  Amen to that, Ma'am.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Brightens up a bit, she moves her chair out, her chair bumping into the CTO's.::  CEO:  I got a necklace with a Cherokee charm.  And what did you get?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Perhaps you might want to look anyway.  I believe you admired Sarek?

OPS_Nash says:
::She keeps looking at them and smiles big.  She is complete now that she is holding the future.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Holds up the knick knack doohickey thingy for her to see, and shrugs.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Hears the CTO and likes his candor.::  CTO:  I must say that I agree with you Ensign.  However sometimes we have to make our illogical, emotional superiors happy.

CSO_Nash says:
::Moves slightly as Liam reaches over to the person sitting next to us and regards them with those soulful eyes of youth.  Also sees him react to the Admiral and CO's voices being drawn like a magnet to the sound.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Nice.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Nods.::  ADM:  He was, as I have said quite often, perhaps the closest to a truly logical mind in recent history amongst our people.  ::Readjusts his position, again, to give the CNS some room.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Well I see the twins still know my voice.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Shrugs and smiles, as he places the thing in the center of his placement.::  CNS:  I'm going to grab some food.  Wanna come?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks over to the CEO, and pushes a knob on the side of the gadget revealing a view of the Earth from space .. a hologram.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Then perhaps you might enjoy the recording of one of Sarek's speeches.

OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  I don't think they will ever forget your voice and that of the Captain.  ::Looks to the Captain.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks with the CEO over to the table to get some food.::  CEO:  Would love to.  Thanks for the save.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, I think it is your sibilant essence they like so much .. as do I.  ::Grinning at him.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::His eyes widen, as he sees the holographic image appear.::  CNS:  Well I've never seen a holographic frame like that before.  Huh.  ::Shrugs, and walks over to the buffet table with T'Lin.::

CSO_Nash says:
Adm:  If I didn't know better, I'd say that you had contact with them throughout the pregnancy and assured them that everything was going to be fine.  And as for the Captain, they knew the timber of his voice as well meant security.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm/OPS/CSO: It's strange how much they seem drawn to it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  Now Kevin, how did you know?  I thought I was very discreet about it!

CTO_Solen says:
::Just shrugs.  If you could call the slightly indifferent lifting of a shoulder a shrug, for a Vulcan .. and takes up the package, carefully opening it.::

OPS_Nash says:
Adm:  That was you!  At times when I slept and dreamt I heard a voice, but I couldn't make it out.  Now things make sense.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Sorry, Kyleigh, but I was so drawn to them, I couldn't help myself.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Fills her plate with salad, fruits and vegetables.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Finishes with the cards and puts them away.::

CSO_Nash says:
Adm:  I have suspected for some time.  I'm just glad that you were there for all of us.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO/OPS:  As if I would desert the twins?  I would just as soon forget T'Sara!  ::Laughing.::

OPS_Nash says:
Adm:  Oh, no worries, please.  These were some of the best nights I had.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  But I didn't know Tio was able to do the same.  ::Teasing the Cait.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Frowns.::  CNS:  I see their oskoid salad is to their usual standards.

OPS_Nash says:
::Smiles, then looks down at Kiandra looking up at her mother.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, I am glad you like the cards.  Would you mind walking with me to the buffet table?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks towards the buffet.::  Adm:  No, Ma'am, I'll leave the mind poking to those who can.  My mind stays where it belongs so it doesn't get lost.

CTO_Solen says:
::Nods and goes to collect his food.::  ADM:  Thank you, Admiral.  ::Returns to his seat, and continues to read his PADD.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks at Liam who is straining to get out of his arms and move over to the ADM and CO.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Looks at the oskoid salad and sighs.::  CEO:  Well at least you do not have to cook.  I am going to make my way back to the table and get to know our new CTO.  I will catch you later, Adahn.

CSO_Nash says:
Liam:  Easy, son.  I'm gonna have to do some work on my upper body if you keep this up.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm:  Sure.  ::Gets up and follows the Admiral.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, what do you think of this last situation?  I know it wasn't you, nor do the crew believe it was you.  Do you think LoDuca is at it again?

CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  I think I'll have to go to the kitchen and give them a few pointers.  ::Piles on the salad anyways, and brings it back to the table.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Goes back to her seat and sits down next to the new CTO.::  CTO: So do you have family on board?

OPS_Nash says:
Kiandra:  Let us go to the table and see what Mommy can eat.  ::Goes to the buffet and grabs some chicken, corn, and mashed potatoes.  She returns to her seat and slowly eats.::

CTO_Solen says:
::Without looking up from his PADD.::  CNS:  No, Lieutenant.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  So .. what part of Vulcan are you from?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm:  It obviously was LoDuca in my opinion.  ::Feels a chill as the Admiral implies it wasn't him.::

CTO_Solen says:
CNS:  I was born on Earth.  ::Still continues to read the reports.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Glances up, as he munches on the pale oskoid leaves.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  So are you going to continue to read that PADD or are you going to get a little sociable here?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Well get those thoughts out of your head Trent .. nothing he can pull will ever be credible in our eyes.  But I do want you to put him to the side for the rest of your R & R if possible.  Get to know your crew on a personal level.  Think you can handle that?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  No offense, chief, but how can you eat those leaves?

CTO_Solen says:
::Glances up from the PADD, but only briefly.::  CNS:  My assignment to this crew is temporary, Lieutenant.  My orders were not to .. be sociable.

OPS_Nash says:
::Notices the CSO spending some quality time with Liam.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Struggles to swallow the bite of salad, as he looks up at the CO, a somewhat disgusted look on his face.::  CO:  Pale and nutritious beats fresh and malnutritious .. ::Shrugs.::  There's too much dressing on the other salad products, Sir.  ::Sighs.::  They let the oskoid stand for too long.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Takes several of the grilled veggies and walks back to her place at the table, waiting for a reply from Trent.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm:  Whatever you want, Admiral.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  So temporarily, you want to tell me about yourself or do I have to keep bothering you until you tell me something.  We are supposed to be getting to know one another.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, don't do that to me or yourself .. vengeance and anger will make an old man out of you before your time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  I meant the leaves in general.  One thing I didn't miss not growing up with my people was the diet.  I have very little taste for plants .. outside of their artistic material worth.

CTO_Solen says:
::Returns to idly reading.::  CNS:  There is nothing to tell of any relevance, Sir.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Shrugs.::  CO:  A personal lifestyle choice.  I don't care much for meat .. though this salad is seriously pointing me in the carnivorous direction.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Understood, Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations makes our lives interesting, I suppose.

OPS_Nash says:
::Finishes eating, then she spends some quality bonding time with her family.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  You know what.  Fine.  ::Gets up and walks over to OPS and coos over the babies.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm:  It's not that, it's something else.  But I will endeavor to "get to know" them better.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Nods to the XO, hoping he means it.::
