Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In quarters, putting together a small bag for the trip to the surface.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  I can't wait for you to meet Tio.  In case I didn't tell you, he is a Cait.  Have you ever met one?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::In quarters after showering and freshening up, packing a bag for the trip to the surface.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins as he takes a seat in T'Lin's quarters on board the station, laughing as the dogs decide to take the opportunity to jump on his lap.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  No, I haven't.  This should be interesting.  I can't wait.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::In his quarters... sitting... just sitting... wondering if he really needs to go anywhere.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Sitting in the bar, he's sipping a glass of pineapple juice.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I see Killer and Peaches are fighting for your affection again.  ::Smiles.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Getting ready to meet her parents and having them finally meet Liam and Kiandra.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins back at the CNS.::  CNS:  Hey, what can I say.  They've taken a shining to me.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Well I am NOT prejudiced at all, but you will see a total difference in Tio and Icky.  I love to hold his tail, which he allows me to do.  He taught Baby and I both how to hunt, and I loved being his TO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Pat*:  I'm headed to the surface.  If anything comes up that needs my attention, let me know.  If not, filter it through so I can clear it when I get back.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Finishes packing the last of her things, and throws the bag over her shoulder.::  CTO:  I have someone coming to take care of the dogs while we are down on the surface.  They should be okay.  Are you packed and ready to go?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Sighs, as he gets off his lazy bum, and starts shuffling his feet out his quarters, and towards the turbolift.::  Self: ... I need something hard.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  You hold his tail?  Doesn't he get mad?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Points to the small duffel bag by the couch.::  CNS:  I've been ready since I got here.  Any idea what's to be expected?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  No, it is like petting Baby.  Only I wouldn't dare to pet Tio like I do Baby.

Host Pat says:
*CO*:  Right, like anything that comes across your desk can be filtered back.  I filter more things then you do, Mister.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Not a clue, but I could use a little pampering.  Shall we make our way to the transporter room?

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  How long was he on your ship before he transferred to .. where'd you say he transferred to?  The Cherokee?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Gently puts the pups back on the floor and stands up, brushing himself off and wrapping an arm around the CNS's waist, the other hand picking up his duffel bag.:: CNS:  Well I always want to pamper you, but yeah, let's go.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Several years Syd... you would not believe how much I miss him.  That is what hurts, when you lose friends that go to another ship.  It is almost impossible to see then again.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gives him a quick peck on the cheek.::  CTO: You're the best, honey.  ::Smiling.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes bag and slings it over shoulder and behind, walking to Transporter Room.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Clasps his hands behind his back as he steps into the turbolift.::  Turbolift:  Commercial area, Starbase 33, please.

SYDNEY says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Well this should be an exciting shore leave for you.  I know how hard it is to lose touch with people you were very good friends with.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
COM: CO:  Tio, here are my coordinates.  How much longer will you be?

OPS_Nash says:
::She packs the diaper bags then gets the twins ready to meet their grandparents for the first time.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Inspects his nails, scratching them, as the turbolift speeds away.::  Self:  I .. COULD head down to Betazed, I guess.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Makes their way to the transporter room.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Returns the peck on the cheek and smiles, walking with her.::  CNS:  Just don't let that get out.  I don't like to advertise that I am such a softie

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Not at all.  ::Winks at him and rubs his back.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: McIntyre:  I'm on my way now, should be beaming down momentarily.  ::Enters Transporter Room.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
COM: CO:  Super.  I have a small surprise for you.  Randi out!

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Smiles, making their way to the transporter room and feeling like nothing could go wrong in the world.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Enters the transporter room and sees the Captain on the transporter pad.::  CO: Captain!  Wait!  Can we come too!

CEO_Ilianor says:
::The doors slide open, revealing the business of the promenade.  He steps out, uncertain, looking about, as he heads for the one truly familiar place on the Starbase for him.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  I hope he enjoys seeing Baby again.  They were best of pals, if you can believe that!  ::Grinning at Sydney.::

SYDNEY says:
::Pets Baby on the head, and gives her a kiss.::  CNS-McIntyre:  This will be like a family reunion.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/CTO:  Sure, I don't think it will be a problem.  Just meeting up with an old friend on the surface.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Tio is almost here!  Maybe you can talk him into a trip into the jungles here on Betazed.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Steps onto the transporter pad.::  CTO:  You coming, honey?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  You don't know how close you are to that.  He is my family.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Drops his bag on the transporter pad and steps next to it.::  CNS:  Of course, I could never forgive myself if I let you loose on Betazed without a chaperone.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  You know I can tell, just by the way you talk about him.  He must be wonderful.

OPS_Nash says:
::Just as she was about to leave with the twins, she notices the message light is blinking, she put the twins back in their cribs and goes to see what this message is about.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::He wanders into the bar, barely recognizing the CMO as he hops on a barstool, and slams his palm on the counter surface.::  Barkeep:  Give me a shot of your best vodka.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  I think we are all set now, Captain.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes a padd from his pocket and looks on it, pulling up some data on entertainment facilities on the station.  There was something on the list that caught his eye, a casino.  A banner in the file told him they still had some old style tables.  He was going to give it a shot.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  He is the best friend anyone could ask for.  He took care of me when I really needed someone.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Transporter Chief:  Energize when clear.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  I feel like one of those kids saying, "Are they here yet?"

BARKEEP says:
::Pours out a shot.::  CEO:  As you like.  ::Seems a little unsettled, but hands it over anyways.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Begins to giggle.::  CO:  Tio!  You are here!  ::Runs and jumps into his arms.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She activates the video message and the image of her father appears, the look on his face says volumes before she hears him utter a sound.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
SYDNEY:  Sydney?  Oh my God!  Is that you?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins as he watches McIntyre jump into the Captain's arms.::  CNS:  Wow, I guess she knows him well, or is a big cat lover.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  Baby can't wait and jumps on Tio's shoulders, scolding him for being away so long.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Randi, you look well.  When did the Huron get into port?

SYDNEY says:
CNS_T'Lin:  T'Lin!  I did not know you were on the Cherokee.  Wow!  This is a big surprise.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Turns to the side.::  CMO:  Doctor.  ::Nods and gasps.::  Oh my God, um, hello, Doctor.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs as he feels like the fifth wheel.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Then thinks, shouldn't that be third nacelle?::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  We just pulled in, not an hour ago!  We have missed you Tio!

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Sydney and T'Lin hug each other.::  CTO: Mark, I would like you to meet my best friend from the Academy, Sydney Logan.  Syd, this is my fiance, Mark Hazzard.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Finishes his drink, pays the bartender and heads out, trying to see where to go for the casino.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Smiles and offers his hand to Sydney.::  SYDNEY:  It's a pleasure to meet you.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Holds her hand out to shake hands with the CTO.::  CNS-T'Lin:  Did you say .. fiance?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Tio, I would like for you to meet our new CMO, Sydney Logan.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grips her hand lightly and gives it a friendly shake.::  SYDNEY:  Yeah we're going to get married.  :: Blushes a little.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::His jaw drops as the CMO just leaves.::  CMO:  Fine, leave me alone here with my vodka, just don't come running to me when your console breaks down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  Nice to meet you, Ensign.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Snaps his fingers twice, and downs his vodka.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She doesn't like what he is saying as the message continues on.  According to the message, they will not be able to meet with her and the family, a sudden diplomatic mission popped up and by some strange request the presence of both her parents is requested.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  It is very nice to meet you, Captain.  ::Holds her hand out.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  So how has it been on the Cherokee, Tio?  I rarely hear from you anymore.

CNS_T`Lin says:
SYDNEY:  Yes, Syd.  Mark is my fiance.  ::Holds his hand.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Brings her hand up to his lips and kisses it.::  SYDNEY:  I don't understand what she sees in me, but hey, I'm not arguing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hesitates a bit.::  CNS-McIntyre:  It's been rough a bit of late, but I've seen far worse.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Tio, how would you feel about a trip into the jungle with us?  It has been so long, and boy do I need to tell you about Icky.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CTO:  Wow, T'Lin.  He's a charmer too.  ::Winks and whispers to T'Lin.::  CNS T'Lin:  Does he know about Kyle?

CNS_T`Lin says:
SYDNEY:  Yes, Syd.  Kyle and I are not together anymore.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks around, as he hears someone talk in a seemingly annoyed voice, and only then notices the CEO had joined him.  Had he really been that deep in thought, that he missed that?::  CEO:  Oh, I'm sorry.  I didn't see you.  I was just heading for the casino.  Care to join me?  ::Gives him an apologetic smile.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Sure, the Cherokee's down for repairs for awhile yet.  I can make plenty of time.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Smiles and walks over to the Captain.::  CO:  Sir, I assume I won't have to assign a security detail for you this time?

OPS_Nash says:
::She can't hide her disappointment as she realizes her parents are already gone.  Why didn't she check her messages sooner.  Maybe she could have met with them before they left.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS T'Lin:  Your parents know?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CMO:  The casino?  There's a casino here?  ::Snorts, and looks away, dismissively.::  ... Actually, sure.  ::Throws the shot glass back to the barkeep, and hops off the stool.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
SYDNEY:  I sent them a subspace message, but they have not responded.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Turns and stares at the person who just spoke to Tio.::  CTO:  I don't think so Lieutenant.  I was his TO at one time.  We can handle anything that comes up!  ::Raises her eyebrows at him.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  I don't think that will be necessary.  I've got my Comm badge and I'm sure things will be Okay for a few hours.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::His smile widens a bit.::  CEO:  Excellent.  Know anything about the games in there?

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Randi, I don't believe you have met my good friend, T'Lin.  We were in the academy together.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Smirks and shakes his head.::  CO:  You misunderstand.  I was more concerned for the trouble you would cause, Sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Shoots the CNS a concerned look, letting her know he heard her and Syd's conversation.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Nice to meet you T'Lin.  I am the CNS of the Huron.  We counselors have to stick together!  ::Smiling.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Laughs.::  CTO:  I haven't gotten into a brawl on shore leave in .. oh, two years or so?  I think I can control myself.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO:  I didn't even know about the casino, but let's just say .. I know my way around a casino.  ::Winks.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CNS-McIntyre:  That we do.  ::Winks.::  Oh, this is my fiance, Mark Hazzard.  He's the CTO on the Cherokee.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CEO:  Good, then you can teach me some of the games.  ::Heads off towards where his padd said the casino was located.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Offers his hand to McIntyre.::  CNS-McIntyre:  Nice to meet you.  You have some idea of how hard it is to keep my Captain's fur intact sometimes.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Nice to meet you, and I can take care of the Captain.  ::Turns adoring eyes towards Tio.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
SYDNEY:  So what are you doing with yourself now?

CEO_Ilianor says:
Thinks:  What .. oh what am I doing here?  ::Hurries up to keep up with the CMO.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-T'Lin:  I'm stationed on the Huron.  Randi has kind of taken me under her wings until I get to know everyone.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Did you want to go on our trip to the jungle?  I promise you, it would be something you would never forget!

OPS_Nash says:
::She goes to the twins and just watches them as they drift off to sleep.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  I wouldn't miss it for the world.  When are you leaving?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Smiles as he notices the gaze, turning to the CO and giving him an approving smile.::  CO:  Well, I see the Captain is in good hands.  I think I am going to take the CNS for a walk and spoil her rotten.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Tio, is now a good time or do you need to finish something before we leave?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks down at his uniform, hoping they didn't have too strict a dress code.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I am always up for some pampering.  ::Gives him a hug.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Enjoy the time off, the last few weeks have earned it for us.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO: ... So.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  I'm free, my Yeoperson has things covered for me.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  That wouldn't happen to be anyone I know, would it?  ::Grinning impishly at him.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
SYDNEY:  I'll catch up to you later.  I want to spend some time with Mark.  Is that okay?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Walks back over to the CNS and wraps an arm around her waist, tapping his combadge and speaking softly.::  *Lt.Jg.Miller*:  Miller, do me a favor.  Keep an eye on the Captain's Com signal, just to be safe.  Thanks.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-T'Lin:  Sure.  You two love-birds go right ahead.  I'm going to hang out with Randi and your Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  No, he .. er she .. er Pat was on board when I arrived.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  You expecting trouble?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Looks like we can leave now.  Are you sure you are up to this?

LT.JG.MILLER says:  
*CTO*:  Yes, Sir.  I'll do just that.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  You have no idea.  I am always up for adventure.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  Nah, just covering bases.  Wouldn't do to have our Captain get hurt on shore leave.  And this way, I can enjoy my day with my favorite lady and rest easy.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Tio, shall we?  I have a map for us, then everything is fair game once we are there!

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks at the signs on the promenade.::  CEO:  Ah, there it is!  ::Points at a red and green sign.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO: So what'd you have in mind, my dear?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Rolls eyes.::  CMO:  Yes, of course.  ::Walks up to it.::  So .. um .. how's .. things?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Starts guiding her down the sidewalk.::  CNS:  Do you remember the beach on that cavern world?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  By all means, let's.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Yes, I do.  Very clearly.  Why are you asking?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  Baby meows to get started with the trip, swishing her tail back and forth.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Shrugs.::  CEO:  Things huh?  Things are well.  I've been busy with some patients here on the station.  Nothing beats curing or helping people in need.  What about yourself?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins mischievously.::  CNS:  Well, there are several secluded beaches .. and I was thinking we could reminisce about old times .. relive memories .. enjoy the outside.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Let's hit the trail.  ::Points to a group of hills, over which is a jungle.

OPS_Nash says:
::There are times when she wishes that the twins were older so they can interact with her, but then she realizes that she better cherish these times while she can as they will grow up soon enough.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  I'm glad I wore my hiking boots.  Lead the way, Randi.  

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  That sounds wonderful.  I could really use a beach right now to relax on.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Takes the lead, Baby out in front, Syd between Randi and Tio in the rear.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
Self:  A regular Florence Nightingale ..  CMO:  Oh, the usual.  Drinking myself silly, slowly killing myself with vice and sin.  Nothing special.  And speaking of sin ..  ::Steps into the casino.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the CTO's hands.::  CTO:  Mark, I sent a message to my parents, but they did not respond.  I am a little worried.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Takes her hand and squeezes it gently.::  CNS:  You think they are going to be upset with you marrying me.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Tio, so what game are we going to play, once we get there?  I think we should send Syd in, then all of us can stalk her!  ::Laughing.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I think I am more worried that they haven't responded.  Do you think they got the message?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
CEO:  As long as you're having fun.  ::Smiles as he enters the casino after the CEO.::  So, where would we want to go first?

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  I heard that, Randi.  ::Grins.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Breathes deeply, having almost forgotten what uncircled, unfiltered air smells like.::  CNS-McIntyre/SYDNEY:  You almost forget what real air smells like after a time.  It doesn't matter what we do, though.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Okay, if you don't want to be the prey, then it will either be me or Tio!

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  No matter what, if they didn't, you can send it again.  If they did, just, hon, I am going to marry you no matter what.  My Pa and Ma are already considering you part of the family.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Thank you, sweety.  ::Gives him a peck on the cheek, as they walk along the shoreline.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Continues to walk towards the beach.::  CNS:  Hope you brought your swimming suit hon.  I think I have mine.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Mark!  My swim suit is in the duffel bag!

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  I am fast, but I hear Caits are fast runners.  The air does smell good.  It's nice to get away.  Too bad, I haven't had anything yet to get away from.   I just got assigned to the Huron.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The small group reach the top of the hills and pause, looking down into a lush forest, similar to the rain forests of Earth.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Gestures with his index, towards the blackjack table, and clears his throat.::  CMO:  When I was on New Sydney - for just awhile, anyways - I made my living playing blackjack.  I was, um, VERY good at it.  ::Winks, and walks over to the table.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO/CNS-McIntyre:  Wow!  Look at that view!  It is absolutely beautiful here.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Follows him to the table, wondering where the name 'Black Jack' came from.::  CEO:  All right, you're the chief.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Smiles.::  CNS:  Hey, I'm just lucky that I was able to find a beautiful and compassionate, and have I mentioned drop dead gorgeous woman to agree to marry me.  Everything else is just gravy.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY/CO:  Yes it is.  I lived here for a while before I had to leave with my teacher and parents.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  We've had some time in space, during which our longest planet side trip we spent most of it under ground.  Outside of that, most of the last year was spent on ship or stations.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Aren't you afraid Baby is going to run off on you?

OPS_Nash says:
::She then realizes that her husband, the CSO, is off doing some sort of relaxation.  Kyleigh knows that he'll be back soon.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Begins to smile at what Syd just said.::  SYDNEY:  I told you, Tio trained Baby.  She doesn't run off anywhere, and heaven help whoever he tells her to hunt.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  You are so sweet.  You know what this place reminds me of?  ::Looks at the beach as it reminds her of the secluded part of the beach where they had their first encounter.::

LT.JG.MILLER says:
*CTO*:  Pardon me, Sir, but the science department would like to know if your really back with us?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Nods to the dealer, and leans to the side as a waitress walks by.::  Waitress:  Vodka, please.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Looks over his shoulder.::  CMO:  You going to join in?

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  You spent time underground?  ::Giggles at the CNS-McIntyre's response.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Holds his hand up to the CNS to let her know to hold that thought, then responds to the comm.  *Lt.Jg.Miller* :  Yeah, what do they need.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Tio, I think I should be the prey first, you can show Syd how we do this.  ::Takes off running and disappears into the jungle and is gone in the blink of an eye.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Was about to decline, but changes his mind.::  CEO:  Sure.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  Where'd she go?

LT.JG.MILLER says:
*CTO*:  They just wanted to know, oh, Lt. T'Lin.  Could you step away from the CTO for a sec?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  With Randi's disappearance, Baby stands next to Tio .. waiting.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  Yes, in a cavern complex under the planet surface.  Let's give her...oh, 1 minute head start.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
CEO:  Though I wouldn't decline a good cognac...

CNS_T`Lin says:
*Lt.Jg.Miller*:  Certainly.  ::Takes a walk further down to the shoreline.::  CTO: I'll be right down here, Mark.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::His eyes go wide.::  Self:  Ah, Shazbot.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  You do have a Comm badge on you, right?

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO:  So have your cognac.  I was asking if you wanted to be cle-  Ah, I mean, if you wanted to play Blackjack as well.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  I have a comm badge, but aren't you afraid you're going to get lost down there and they won't pick up your signal?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::The humming of a transporter beam fills the air above the CTO as two pounds of cold oatmeal drop on him, soaking him in reconstituted breakfast food, his face an image of wry humor.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Takes to the trees after entering the jungle, disrobes, and rubs the leaves on her body, then begins to move through the tops of the trees, leaving the edge far behind.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Laughs uncontrollably as the CTO is soaked with oatmeal.::

LT.JG.MILLER says:
*CTO*:  The Science Department sends their regards and a welcome back to ya, Sir.  Sorry.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Self:  Oh, it is soooo on when I get back.

CNS_T`Lin says:
*Lt.Jg.Miller*:  I thank you for sending me away.  ::Laughing.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CEO:  Oh .. that .. Nah, I think I'll observe for a bit first..  I told you, I never been to a casino before.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY: They can be tracked in far worse conditions than this.  Come on, let's give chase.  We'll keep it on the ground to start, at least until we get closer.  Ready?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Flings globs of oatmeal at the CNS while chuckling.::  CNS:  Think it's funny, do you!

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  All set.  Do we split up, looking for her?

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO:  As you like.  ::Cracks his knuckles, as the dealer starts dealing, the first of many rounds he'll play.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  Stick together for now.  We'll see as it goes.  ::Turns and enters the forest, keeping an eye to not get too far ahead.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Hey you!  ::Knocks the CTO to the ground as a wave of water comes smashing in on them.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Holds on to the CNS and smiles, kissing her softly as the water washes over them.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Stands behind the CEO, watching as he is dealt the first hand.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Wants to shout at the freedom she is feeling.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Follows the CO, keeping her eyes peeled for any sign of Randi, looking up in the trees as she is walking.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I guess we didn't need those bathing suits after all, did we.  ::They are both soaked.::  Want to head out into the water?  ::Kicks off her sneakers.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Takes his boots off and puts them over by the bags, grinning as he stalks towards the CNS.::  CNS:  Hope you can swim, honey.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Continues deeper into the jungle, loving the feeling of the hunt again, but this time Tio is truly here, not a hologram.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Third round .. he's won again, he turns around, with a mock look of surprise on his face.::  CMO:  Oh, will you look at that.  ::Slips a couple credits into his hand.::  CMO: Come on, your turn.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Jumps on the CTO, dunking his head below the water.::  CTO:  Swim?  I have a life buoy here.  ::Grins.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Baby:  Go get her, try and wheel her back this way.  ::Points ahead and to the side, hoping to track over to her.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says: 
::Randi begins to smile to herself.  She would love to set a trap for Syd, but she knows Tio would spot it in a second.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  Wow!  Look at her go.  She's actually hunting for her!

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sputters as he spits out salt water, grabbing the CNS's legs and pulling her under as well.::  CNS:  Thirsty?  Have some water!!!

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Spits out the salt water as she jumps out of the water wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a soft deep kiss.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes some of the chips, and sits down on a chair, still not having much of a clue how it works.::  CEO:  All right, but you'll have to give me a hand here.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  I think she went this way, Sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Returns the kiss and wraps his arms around her as well.::  CNS:  I love you, T'Lin Hazzard!

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Drops to the ground.  Spotting some vines, she sets a trap for Syd .. when she walks into it, will pull her feet upward.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO: ... So you have no idea how to play?  Well, what do you know, that's in this casino?  ::Holds up a finger to the dealer.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi can sense that Tio has let Baby loose, and Baby knows Randi's tricks too well.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I love you, too.  ::Grins and pushes him back in the water.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  Then let's go, but be careful.  Keep an eye out for things out of place.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::As he is falling over he grabs her arms and pulls her into the water with him, making a big splash.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  One of the triplets decides to give T'Lin a nice kick in the spleen.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Thinks.::  CEO:  Uhm, Slot games?

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  Things out of ... ::Her foot gets caught in a vine and she goes sailing upward.::  .. place?  CO:  Okay, this is nice.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Jumps out of the water, holding her stomach.::  CTO:  Oh, what was that?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stands up and walks over to her.::  CNS:  What's wrong, honey?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Lunges as the trap springs.::  SYDNEY:  Yup, things out of place.  One minute.  ::Leaps into the tree to lower the vines down.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I am not sure, but I think I just felt one of the little one's kicking.  This is a little early isn't it for them to be kicking.  I'm only like 10 weeks pregnant.  Maybe because there's three of them in there.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO: ... Oh, I see.  Games that require no skill involved?  ::Rolls eyes.::  You feed the machine money, and you pull a lever.  You might as well throw pebbles down a tall building and see if they hit anyone.  Games of luck .. sheesh.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  I don't know hon.  I only know how to make them .. not carry them.  ::Weakly smiles and hugs her gently.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Well in a few weeks they'll be kicking back, I think.  And then daddy gets to share in the wealth of kicks as well at night.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CEO:  Yeah, they don't require time to learn how to play.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  Hey, I'll gladly suffer anything as long as I can take some of the stress off of you.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Shimmies down a vine, then crosses over a small stream, heading back up into the trees .. pausing .. she thinks she hears Baby.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands on the branch above Syd.::  SYDNEY:  This is going to be a bit tricky.  Hold tight and be ready to grab the branch, or catch yourself.  ::Slides on the anchor line, then cuts it, using myself as a counter weight.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  No stress, my dear.  I think they've relaxed a bit.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO:  But where's the satisfaction!  All you're doing is pressing a darn button!  Oh thank you, love.  ::Takes the vodka from the waitress' tray.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins and kisses her deeply, letting her know just how much he loves her as he guides her to the beach.::  CNS:  Come on, I know you don't need one, but I need a good old fashion tan.  Makes me look tougher.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  Got it.  Don't worry.  They did drills like this at the Academy.  I got stuck in them too.  ::Chuckles.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Baby:  Lead Tio and Syd the other direction.~~~  ::Showing Baby which way to go mentally.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Too bad I didn't bring the sun tan lotion.  We will just have to settle for an old-fashioned burn.  ::Follows him to the beach.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  A lot of people did.  This gave her some more time to work with, though.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
CEO:  Hehehe, yeah, but it's easy, and it kills time.  And you might win something.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  So now what?  Where'd Baby go now?  I've completely lost my direction.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Finding the spot on the map, she drops to the ground and begins to unpack.  She sets out food for lunch, then puts up the tents.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins even wider as he takes a blanket out of his duffel bag, spreading it out and laying it on the sand, taking his soaked uniform off and leaving his trunks on.  He reaches into his bag and hands T'Lin a bottle of lotion.::  CNS:  That's why I'm the CTO.  I think of everything.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  We continue the hunt.  That way.  Can you see the displaced branches?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Gets up, carrying a pile of credits.::  CMO:  Uh-huh.  Here, have some.  ::Takes another look around.::  Very well, let's go to the slot machines.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Grins at him, as he must have had this planned.  Rubs the lotion on his back, kissing his back, before applying the rest of the lotion.::  CTO: Now what am I going to do?  I don't have a bathing suit?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Looking around the area, she picks up branches for a small fire, when and IF they find her.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  I see it.  But I think this time, you get to go first.  ::Grins.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins and wriggles an eyebrow.::  CNS:  I won't mind . improvise.  ::He smiles as he knows he packed one of her suits while she was in the shower, but won't tell her yet.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles.::  CEO:  Very good.  ::Takes the credits and follows the CEO to the slot machines.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  Baby returns and begins to rub up against Tio's leg.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Mark .. There are people here.  I am not going to . well you know ..

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SYDNEY:  Very good.  ::Smiles and heads off again.::  Baby:  We're coming, we're coming.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Follows the CO in the direction Baby took off.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Looks around the campsite, making sure all is prepared.::  ~~~Baby:  Ok Baby, you can lead them here now.~~~

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  Aww, you're no fun.  I packed one of your suits in my bag.  ::Blows her a kiss and smiles.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  You .. ::Grinning.::  You had it all along, you silly thing.  But where am I going to uh change?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks at the water.::  CNS:  Change in the ocean.  ::He chuckles.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Stuffs his credits into his pockets and stands behind the CMO as they approach a slot machine.::  CMO:  Go ahead, have your fun.  ::Giggles.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Shakes his head, but steps up to one of the machines anyway.  He inserts some credits, and starts playing.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Okay, but no peeking.  ::Walks away muttering.::  Not that you haven't seen it already.  ::Takes the bathing suit from the CTO and heads off to the ocean.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Laughs pleasantly as he lays on his stomach on the blanket.::  Self:  And what a sight it is.  ::Whistles softly at the mental image.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Begins to get closer.::  SYDNEY:  Shhh!  Keep moving, straight ahead, about 100 Meters.  I'll flank around back, hopefully you can get her attention.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Puts her feet up on a log and waits for them to finally get to her.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Walks around the front, peaking out from a bush.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Giggles.::  SYDNEY:  You are about as quiet as a T-Rex, dear!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sneaks around back, trying to get close to the food basket.  Gotta have some fun.  Reaches out and slips the basket away.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre:  I guess my stepping on that branch gave it away, huh?  ::Laughing as she emerges from the bushes.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  And Tio... you better check out the basket first before you put your hand into it!

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Hey - aren't you going to put lotion on me?  ::Grins.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Taps his foot, as he stands behind the CMO, tapping his foot, his arms crossed.::  CMO:  Silly one-armed bandits.  ::Giggles.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Baby lunges at Randi, landing on her chest, knocking her over and taking her breath away.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Turns his head and nods.::  CNS:  Lay down, and I'll do just that.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
Self:  Ooof.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Perhaps, but it's the basket that counts, not the contents.  ::Stands again and walks into the "camp."

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Laughing uncontrollably, she falls to the ground on the blanket next to Randi and Baby.  CNS-McIntyre: That was so much fun.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY/CO:  Syd, look behind that tree over there ::pointing.::  That is where the real food is!  ::Waiting to see if Tio sticks his paw in the basket.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles.::  CEO:  See, they're fun.  And they kill time, like I said they would.  Though, the number one game I like to play, is pool.  But I don't know whether they have a table here.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Turns over on her back for the CTO to apply the lotion.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Straddles her and slowly rubs the lotion on to her back, taking his time and enjoying the romantic moment.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CNS-McIntyre/CO:  Oh - I'll go get it.  ::Rushes over to the basket.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CMO:  Pool, now that's interesting.  I haven't played pool in .. oh, years.   Heh.  If you really want to, I'm sure there must be a holosuite somewhere in this Godforsaken place.

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Hands the basket to the CO.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Shakes head.::  CEO:  Nah, I can wait.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sits down and sets the basket on the ground, leaning back a bit.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Winks.::  CMO:  As you like.  Oh, how many credits do you have left?  ::Smiles.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  You are getting slow and old Tio!  I have been resting for a while.  ::Reaching over she catches his tail in her hand, and begins to stroke the fur.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
CEO:  A hand full, and some more in there.  ::Points at the credit return.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS-McIntyre:  Old?  Not quite yet, and slow?  I don't think so.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Rolls over facing the CTO.::  CTO:  I think that's enough rubbing for now.  I could use a good nap.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Lies down beside her and kisses her lips softly.::  CNS:  Sounds good to me.  I love you, hon.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Would you mind handing me my shorts and shirt from that branch over there?

OPS_Nash says:
::She relaxes on the bed and drifts off into a restless sleep.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
::Grabs the shorts and shirt from the branch.::  CNS-McIntyre:  You mean .. these shorts and shirts?  ::Passes them to the CO.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I love you too, honey.  ::Closes her eyes.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SYDNEY:  Yeah, those are the ones... if you don't mind me being naked, neither do I!  In fact, I prefer it!  ::Grinning.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO:  Oh, my mistake, so you CAN win.  ::Smiles.::

SYDNEY LOGAN says:
CO:  On second thought .. ::Takes the clothing back and passes it to CNS-McIntyre, grinning back.::
