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

Host Randi says:
::after beaming down to Risa, she begins to hunt for someone on the Cherokee crew::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On the surface, slowly walking through a light forest area.::

Host Randi says:
::going into a hotel, she goes to the desk and inquires if anyone from the Cherokee is staying there::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: still using the cane every once in a while. looking for a lively looking pub near the Commercial District, wearing his duster, Stetson, and cowboy boots. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::In the shopping center, near Barbara's beach house, buying stuff he don't really need::

Host Randi says:
::the desk clerk states he has no one but to check Bay::

OPS_Nash says:
::walking in a major shopping area, alone, she is actually allowing herself to have some good quality time for just her.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Lying in  on the sunny beach::

Host Randi says:
::taps her COM badge and prays::  *CO*:  Do you read me Tio?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks into the pub and grins as he watches the other patrons enjoying their evening, walking slowly up to the bar and ordering a tall mug of beer. ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Taking as much sun he can::

CNS_Wells says:
::Looking around in a toy store, looking for something a two year old would like::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a good long sip of his drink before he hears a voice he could have gone an eternity without hearing. ::

Host Randi says:
::begins walking to the Bay Hotel.  Maybe someone is there she knows.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::His basket with fruits and some personal stuff along with Combadge and books are a few meters from him::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Hardchest> CTO: Well, I guess they even let the trash collectors top on Risa now these days.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Randi*: Yes, although I'm surprised to hear what sounds to be real time voice transmission.  Are you in the system?

Host Randi says:
*CO*:  Tio!  Yes, I am on Risa.  I am with the Pharaoh now and we have shore leave here.  Where are you?  I have Baby and Tio with me!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs as he sets his mug down and slowly turns around, schooling his face to prevent any sign of hatred from his face. :: Hardchest: Don't you have better things to do than harass others?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Hardchest> ::snickers:: CTO: Not particularly.  Bet you think you’re REAL special, got people think you and yours are war heroes now, don't you?

OPS_Nash says:
::walks by a jewelry store, she spots a beautiful amethyst pendant gold necklace with a matching amethyst ring, not being able to pass up that opportunity, she enters the store.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looks around.::  *Randi*: I'm...somewhere along the Western shore of the central land mass, probably 3 Kilometers north of the village of Comfort Haven.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He is in Alpha state of conciseness and he is rewinding all those nice massages and other stress related explorations that he has been done::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: keeps his face impassive as he crosses his arms over his chest.:: Hardchest:  Move along, Lieutenant.  I'm on Leave and I'd rather not have to listen to you leak hot air into the atmosphere.

Host Randi says:
*CO*:  Hold there, I will have the ship beam me to your location!  ::holds the cats close to her::

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  OPS:  May I help you?

Host Randi says:
*Pharaoh OPS*:  This is Randi, please beam to a com badge signal at ::gives the location and waits for the transporter to take hold;:

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Hardchest> :: takes his finger and jabs it into the CTO's chest. :: CTO: Awww, did I strike a nerve?  I know that cover story they pulled was just a bunch of bull.  You and the rest of those traitors on the CHOKE-akee should be in chains.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He has thought about one female with telepathic senses that he had a privilege to spend some time with::

OPS_Nash says:
Jeweler:  Yes, I am interested in purchasing that amethyst necklace and ring set.  How much for the set?

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  ::showing her the price::

Host Randi says:
ACTION:  Randi appears 3 feet from the Captain with her two cats.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: the other patrons in the pub clear away from the two officers, sensing the hostility coming from the larger one. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Finds a few things. Can't make up his mind between the wooden blocks, the puzzles or the toy Starfleet action figure set. So, he gets them all::

Host Randi says:
CO:  Tio!  ::she yells at the top of her lungs then runs to him::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and picks his drink back up. :: Hardchest: Last warning Chet.  Get lost.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: It's been some time.  I thought you mustered out?

OPS_Nash says:
::suffering from sticker shock, she looks at the Jeweler::

Host Randi says:
CO:  I did, but it seems I got bored!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Hardchest> :: kicks the cane out of the CTO's grasp as his hand comes down, causing the mug to leave his hand and shatter on the ground, getting his new boots soaked in suds. ::

Host Randi says:
ACTION:  Baby wiggles her hips and jumps at Tio.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt Hardchest> CTO: Make me.

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  OPS:  Well, if that is a steep price for you, I am sure you can find something else in here that you can afford.

Host Randi says:
CO:  I think she has missed you Tio!  This is her son, who is behaving.  He is named after you.  ::she is grinning from ear to ear::

CNS_Wells says:
::Asks for his purchases to be sent to Barb's house, pays the sales lady and leaves the store::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He remember her nice touch and her lips but he remembers also a new way of feelings that he experienced in his head::

OPS_Nash says:
::looking around::  Jeweler:  Actually, there is nothing else here that peaks my interest.  As they say on Earth, you only live once.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
::takes a look at his wrecked boots, slowly moving his gaze back at the large man in his face.:: Hardchest: If you were worth the time I'd spend in the brig for properly whooping your sorry case from one side of this planet to the other, I would.  But the problem is, your not fit to spit on, chum.

CNS_Wells says:
::It feels good to be outside in the sun. Places his sunglasses over his eyes then looks to see what time of the day it is::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::It was almost an out of body experience, a new level of having been making contact::

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  OPS:  What's your point?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: It's good to see you, and them.  Bit surprised you picked such a close packed ship, though.  Isn't it tough, having no place to get away to?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: turns and pays for the drink he barely got to drink and nods to the bartender. :: Bartender: Sorry, you guys seriously need to take the trash out more often here.  It’s starting to stink. ::turns and begins to leave. ::

CNS_Wells says:
SELF: Hmmm, just as I thought, time for a drink. ::Heads to the bar where Ben works::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He begins to feel suffering from the missing feeling of Tantric mixtures::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Hardchest> :: growls as he feels his face grow red from being blown off like that, grasping the back of a chair and lifting it. ::

Host Randi says:
CO:  That was the point Tio.  All the voices on the Huron were getting to me.  I needed to get away badly.  We lost so many people when we were in the Delta quadrant.  I had no plans of coming back, ever.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stops as he hears the chair legs scrape against the floor. :: Hardchest: Chet...don't do something I KNOW you'll regret.

OPS_Nash says:
Jeweler:  My point is that, despite your attitude, I am very interested in that set, so I'll take it.  ::handing over her method of payment::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: people flee out the exit of the pub as it looks like this is going to go from argument to confrontation rather quickly. ::

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  OPS:  Whatever you say, Ma'am.   I need your ring size so I can assure you have the proper fit.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: But at least on the Huron, or on a ship of it's size, you have private quarters to retreat to.  Not much "shelter", but Defiant Class, those ships are packed.

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters the dance club and makes way, through the crowd, to the bar::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Hardchest> :: Yells out loud as he takes a swing at the CTO with the chair. :: CTO: SHUT YOUR LIPS YOU TRAITOR!!!

OPS_Nash says:
Jeweler:  Measure please, as I am not sure of the size.   ::holds out her hand and points her ring finger on her right hand.::

Host Randi says:
CO:  True, but there are only 40 voices to contend with instead of 300.  Sure the quarters are small, but enough for the cats and me.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::A sharp voice cleaves that thought as sand has flushed over his face:: 
<Kid>: Sorry mister, ball just flowed here. ::It was an kid covered with fur and piglike nose, an Tellar boy::

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  ::measures the finger::  OPS:  I'll be right back.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: ducks easily under the swing, using a quick jab to his knee cap to cause him to fall and crash through the window of the pub, landing on his back on the walkway outside before standing up slowly and looking to the bartender once again. ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Bartender: He's cut off.  Put his tab and the repair bill on my account.  He's had too much.

Host Randi says:
CO:  Any chance you could give Tio his first hunting lesson?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: dusts off his shoulders and walks outside, kneeling down in front of Hardchest and making sure he can hear him.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees Ben working behind the bar and quietly waits to be noticed::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He gets in sitting position and throws the ball back:: Kid: hey there is no problem.
::He thought to thank him for it but he also knew that kid would look at him with confusion, he didn't know what  has happening in Jovan’s head for pass few minutes::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Hardchest: Listen closely you walking blockhead.  That’s the least that I could have done.  Be lucky that I don't press charges for attempting to strike a superior officer...and for causing such a ruckuss.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: I would, but there isn't much to hunt here.  I hear there's a few areas for that kind of stuff, but those are mostly big game from what I've heard.  These woods don't even have insects to speak of.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stands up and shakes his head slowly, wondering how the heck he got through the Academy with his attitude.

Host Randi says:
CO:  Well... ::she pauses::  You could hunt me.  These trees are thick enough.  I want him to learn from the best.  And Baby can help you.

OPS_Nash says:
::a few minutes past, she was getting concerned then relieved when see saw the Jeweler return with the jewelry.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: That could work.

CNS_Wells says:
<Ben>::Sees Gary at the bar:: CNS: Hey! I'm glad to see you out and about. I thought you never left your lounge chair in the sun. What can I get you?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::One passing look around in hope that he will see her again, but only salt smell of the water in front of him gives a silent and cynical sound of waves biting the few thousand year old shore::

Host Randi says:
CO:  Yes!  I have missed you Tio and this will be like old times!  ::as she talks, she begins to strip down::  Give me 5 minutes.
Baby and Tio:  Wait here, listen to Tio, both of you.  ::She takes off running::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks to a nearby park and tries to calm down as he remembers the grief that man had put his family and friends through during his limited stay on the Cherokee. ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: One desperate expiration:: Out loud: Uhh.
::And he needed a drink::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Starts counting down the head start, breathing deeply.::

CNS_Wells says:
Ben: Umm, why don't you make me that drink you were making me the other night?  The one with the Chambord and vodka in pineapple juice?

CNS_Wells says:
<Ben>::Smiles seductively:: CNS: You sure you want that in a glass?

Host Randi says:
::immediately takes to the trees, then down on the ground.  Stopping to smell the area, looking for water::

Host Randi says:
<Baby> ::is tensed and ready, knowing the fun is about to begin::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He gets his stuff and dangle one t-shirt with Combadge on it grabs a basket and takes a hard and slow walk over the beach::

CNS_Wells says:
Ben: I'll take it any way you want to serve it. ::Throws a swizzle stick at him::

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  ::handles the OPS method of payment back to her as well as the jewelry set.::::  OPS:  Here you go, I gave you a discount considering that you are part of Starfleet and I know you were part of that nasty war that just ended.

Host Randi says:
<Tio> ::watching his mother for a clue as to what is happening::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: finds a secluded clearing and takes his duster and hat off, setting them on the ground as he takes several calming breaths. ::

OPS_Nash says:
::stunned::  Jeweler:  How did you know that?

Host Randi says:
~~~Baby:  This is for Tio sweetheart.  Let him learn from Tio and you keep him out of trouble.~~~

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods to the cats as the time clicks down, following behind the cats and trying to keep them on track.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Walking trough sand, making him insatiable.  “Why did I bother with this?”, passed his mind::

CNS_Wells says:
<Ben>::Fixes the drink and places it in front of his customer:: CNS: On the house.

Host Randi says:
::finds the water and dives in, stroking underwater for several meters before she surfaces::

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  OPS:  I watched the News feed and I remember your ship was involved.  I figured I should give you a one time break.

CNS_Wells says:
Ben: Really? I can pay for it. ::Takes a sip of his drink::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: slowly sits cross legged on the ground as he watches the sun set.  His anger slowly fading away into a peaceful state of mind. ::

OPS_Nash says:
Jeweler:  Ummm, I don't what else to say except thank you.

OPS_Nash says:
<Jeweler>  OPS:  My pleasure.  Good Luck Commander, enjoy your new jewelry.

CNS_Wells says:
<Ben>: The currency of a war hero with a purple heart is no good here, didn't you know?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::The surroundings were nice to look at, but still it was a heaven for those races that lack humidity and hot air as they travel trough the black and cold space, but not for him::

Host Randi says:
::looking about she finds an overhanging branch.  She reaches for it and swings herself upward into the tree::

OPS_Nash says:
Jeweler:  Thanks, I will.  Have a nice day.

CNS_Wells says:
<Ben>: I gotta get back to work. Can I see you later?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Notices the trail close to the water, and keeps one eye on the far shore while watching the cats figure out the problem of the disappearing target.::

Host Randi says:
ACTION:  The cats begin to hunt for Randi.  They can smell her, but can't figure out where she has gone.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::After few minutes of hard walk on the beach with some sort of boulder sand he finally reaches a bar::

CNS_Wells says:
Ben: Sure, come on out to the beach house when you get done here. See ya later.  ::Takes drink and moves out onto the dance floor::

Host Randi says:
<Baby>  ::watches her son, knowing what Randi has done, but wanting Tio to discover for himself the ruse::

Host Randi says:
<TIO>  :;begins to speed up, as Randi’s scent becomes stronger::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: leans back and stares up at the now emerging skylight.

Host Randi says:
<Tio> ::takes off running at full speed, slowing only long enough to jump into a tree::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Bartender: Please give me a glass of something fresh and icey.
::The look on the young human like face was for minute hollow looking, it was like he had tried to figure out something, and passed to appreciable look and a smile popped up his face::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Follows at a more leisurely pace.::

OPS_Nash says:
::she leaves the store and walks down the street, doing some more window shopping::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<Bartender> CMO: An ice lemonade?

Host Randi says:
::she watches as Tio climbs a tree, but Randi has covered herself with another animal scent, to throw him off the trail::

CNS_Wells says:
::Finishes his drink and just has to get outside before the sun goes down::

Host Randi says:
::below, Baby is watching her son, making sure nothing was about that could harm him::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He was jubilant on the professional way of finding a race and type of drink that could be adequate for costumer::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Bartender: An excellent choice.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Points to the eyes, trying to signal the cat to not rely so much on the nose.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Walks by a pub with a busted up window:: SELF: Someone's had a good time. ::Keeps walking::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: reaches into his duster's pocket, taking his Combadge. :: *OPS* : Kyleigh, you got your com badge on you right now?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He sits on the stool and without looking around he concentrates on a cold drink and his though slightly passed over his lips giving to them slight moisture, and in back a sandy taste::

OPS_Nash says:
::she doesn't see anything that catches her eye, being happy with her purchase, she walks slowly down the street::   *CTO*:  Yes, Mark, what do you want?

Host Randi says:
::walking quickly on a large branch, she crosses over to another tree and climbs down.  Quickly she circles and comes up behind the Captain::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs as he leans back on the ground. :: *OPS*: I figured you'd be closer to the commercial center than I am.  I just thought you could do me a favor and have a floral bouquet sent to someone on Earth while your there?  I'll pay you back the credits when I get back to the hotel.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Listens, ready to spring at a moment's notice, trying to get the cat to use other means of hunting than scent.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He drinks first big dram of Lemonade when sharp pain in his mouth arises and gives a clarity to his mind, an icy fluid coated his inner mouth but refreshed his body::

CNS_Wells says:
::Decides to walk the three km back to Barbara's place. Hopefully he will be planted in his lounge chair before the sunsets::

Host Randi says:
<Baby>  ::sitting patiently on the ground below the tree, waiting for Tio to understand what is happening::

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  Sorry, Mark, I am actually low on funds right now.

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes off his loose fitting shirt to catch the rays on the walk home::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and shakes his head. :: *OPS*: Its alright Kyleigh.  It was just a thought.  I guess I will have to send them to Kandi myself.

Host Randi says:
CO:  Tio, he is not as good as Baby.  I haven't had the time to train him, nor has he had you to help him.  ::whispering and hiding behind the Cait's body::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Leaps out of the way, reaching for a branch about 2 M up so the cat can see.::

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  Sure thing, I understand.  If I hadn't bought myself a nice trinket, I would of helped you out.

Host Randi says:
::freezes in place, hoping that Tio has not seen her::

CNS_Wells says:
::Knows shore leave will be coming to an end soon enough.  Hasn't missed a sunset yet. You can't get that on a Starship.  Or a decent tasting tomato::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*OPS* Don't worry about it.  Of course now I have a perfect opportunity to find stuff to spoil my nephews and niece with.

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  There's a thought.

Host Randi says:
<Tio>  ::Tio turns to the movement of the Captain and spots Randi.  He lets out a yowl that would bring attention to him if he were in danger.::

CNS_Wells says:
::After about twenty minutes of walking is now nearer to the ocean.  He breathes in a big sniff of the salty air:: Self: Aaahhh!

Host Randi says:
<Tio> ::he races down the tree and makes a running jump at Randi, who catches him and falls backwards to the ground::

Host Randi says:
::laughing::  CO:  Tio, that was not fair!  ::petting his namesake::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins and stands up, dusting off his pants and shirt as he picks up his coat and hat. *OPS*: Well thanks anyway Kyleigh.  I'll let you get back to what you were doin’.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: He's going to learn, though.  Scent is strong, at this point perhaps his strongest sense.  He just needs to learn to use his others.

OPS_Nash says:
*CTO*:  Gotcha, back to doing absolutely nothing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Drops back down to the first branch.::

Host Randi says:
CO:  I guess I should begin using the programs you left me for Baby.  But it seems, she is so much smarter than he is.  ::at the mention of her name, Baby walks over to Randi, then begins to clean her son::  CO:  Any suggestions?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: slowly begins to make his way back to the hotel as he thinks of several things he could send along with the flowers for Kandi. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: Age brings wisdom, just let him play, and soon he'll learn the reality.

Host Randi says:
CO:  Let's hope it is not through real life experiences Tio.

Host Randi says:
CO:  If you don't have plans tonight, would you like to join me for supper?

CNS_Wells says:
::Nods a friendly hello to a couple of people walking by him, coming from the opposite direction:: Self: That old guy looked like my 8th grade math teacher. ::picks up a pretty stone in his path and carries it awhile::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: Sure, I don't have any plans.  Was just walking, thinking.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Randi: Any preferences as to where?  Haven't really paid much attention to the places around here much.

Host Randi says:
CO:  Ok, see you at 7 then.  I will be checking into the Bay Hotel.

OPS_Nash says:
::she heads home::
