Host XO_Ayidee says:
Executive Officer's Log, Stardate 10810.12.  The Cherokee's brief shore leave continues, as do preparations for the transport of Ambassador Merlot.  His quarters are nearly ready, pending a final inspection.

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

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::pacing in the corridor just outside Sickbay, wondering what to do the Bubba Twins.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Walking to the VIP quarters, hoping that the broken canister was the last problem with the preparations.::

CNS_Wells says:
::In his office going through some patient files::

Bubba Bob says:
Bubba Jim:  Do you know what is going to happen to us when we leave here?

CNS_Wells says:
::Realizes the time and exits, having agreed to inspect the VIP suite with Mr. Ayidee::

Bubba Jim says:
 Bubba Bob:  Just don't talk to me.  You have gotten me into trouble for the last time.  If we weren't cousins, I would break our friendship in a heartbeat!

Bubba Bob says:
Bubba Jim:  What did I do?

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives at his destination and finds the XO just arriving too::

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Sorry, I'm late. Are you ready for the inspection?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: You aren't late, even if this was a set in Tritanium time.  Hopefully the incident with the preparations was the last of the problems we'll have.  When we're done, I think we should visit the two injured?

Bubba Jim says:
::smacks his hand to his head::  Bubba Bob:  I'll give you a clue, YOU were the one who insisted that he could carry the methane canister.  Then you had to go and place it on the shelf.  And to make it worse, you didn't level it!  It fell, and now we are in this mess.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Sounds like a plan.  ::opens doors to VIP suite and enters, looking around::
XO: So, the methane isn't on now but, is it ready to flow?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::entering Sickbay, trying to maintain her composure::  Bubba Twins:  Would someone mind telling me what in the blue blazes happened in the VIP quarters?

CNS_Wells says:
::Looking over the cleanliness of the room and checks the Replicator to see if the food items he found in his research have been added::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, the Replicators can have the room Ambassador ready within minutes.  The seals will keep it in, as needed.  I'm actually more worried about the Comm tie ins.  From the data on them, he'll need a good deal of bandwidth.

Bubba Jim says:
OPS:  Mr. I-Can-Carry-It there placed the canister on a shelf without leveling it.  Next thing I know, I'm waking up here.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: We'll make sure Mrs. Nash knows that.  ::Notices a few pieces of Berlangi art dispersed throughout the room::  Self: Nice touch.

Bubba Bob says:
Bubba Jim:  I didn't trip, did I?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm also wondering if he'll have another issue, though.  Fresh Ensigns normally have "homesickness" on their first tours.  This Ambassador will be going through a far bigger jump from normal.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::tired of the bickering already.::  Bubba Twins:  Don't start!  Do you both realize how important this assignment is to the Federation?  One wrong thing can send a bad first impression to a new race of beings wanting to be included into our society.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I thought of that too.  We still don't know if he's bringing companions or not, do we?  We will just have to show him a good time.  I'll stay close to the Ambassador while he's here.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Keeping him active should help.  I just wanted to make sure you had an eye on it, not that I thought you wouldn't.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Well, Merlot will be fine. You know, I'm satisfied with the inspection. I've made a few notes but, if you are ready, you said something about visiting Sickbay?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, partly to find out if the injured are all right, partly to find out just what happened.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Sounds like just plain clumsiness to me but, let's go.  They may need saving from Mrs. Nash.

CNS_Wells says:
::Heads out of the VIP suite, straightening a picture on the wall as he exits::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Clumsiness in our line of work can be deadly.  What if it wasn't a harmless gas they dropped?  We need to know if this is the "first of many" or simply an accident.  ::Turns for the door, following the CNS.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::the Bubba Twins just looked at each other.::  Bubba Twins:  Don't give me that “I-Don't-Know” look.  You will be appropriately punished once you leave here.  Both of you.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Agreed, they may both have an underlining psychological problem that makes them careless.

Bubba Jim says:
Bubba Bob: Here I go again, being punished yet again because of you.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the Turbolift, requesting Sickbay.  Waits for the door to close.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Walks to the Turbolift and enters::

Host BubbaBob says:
OPS:  Oh come on OPS.  It is just as easy to carry that little ole canister as it would be to put it on the cart... but oh no!  Jimbo just had to have it up on that high shelf!

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Any issues from the latest change of Command?

Host BubbaBob says:
OPS:  Now look at who has a broken foot!  Was it MY fault it fell?  After all, I just tripped a little bit!

CNS_Wells says:
XO: From me? Plenty, but none we need to go into now. 

Host BubbaBob says:
OPS:  If he hadn't had to stop and talk, I wouldn't have run into the back of him and tripped!  It is all his fault!

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm not worried about your ability to deal with this.  But we have over 200 crew who, in the span of 3 months, have seen 2 Captain's removed from Command.  One of whom we still don't know the reasons behind.

Host BubbaBob says:
::reaching up, he wipes his nose with the sleeve of his uniform::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::pacing the floor in Sickbay, trying to calm down.::  BubbaBob:  Stop!!!  I don't care who did what.  This is putting a strain on a VERY simple assignment.  You should have been more careful.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Then you wouldn't be surprised to hear that I am not the only one who feels the strains and pains of those changes.

Host BubbaBob says:
OPS:  Then Jim needs to wear a tail light to let me know when he is going to stop!  ::pulls out his handkerchief and blows into it, then wipes his eyes::

Bubba Jim says:
OPS:  I had to stop and talk to him because I just told him to find it another shelf. I never told him to put it on the high shelf!

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Diplomatically put.  Nothing that needs to be brought to our attention then?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Not yet but, there may be stormy weather ahead, Sir.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: There always is.  ::Smiles.::  But with proper preparation, most storms can be weathered.  Or avoided.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
BubbaBob:  I think you need to pay attention to what is going on around you.  You know, I just wonder whose bright idea was it that you were assigned to this ship.
::pacing::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Turbolift as it opens.::  CNS: Speaking of storms, let's jump into the next one.

Host BubbaBob says:
OPS:  Why?  The Starbase assigned us when no one wanted to be a part of the Cherokee, with all the trouble with Captain Kitty happened.  Me and Jim didn't care bout that stuff!

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I hear Texas tornados are hard to avoid as they are reckless, unpredictable and full of hot air.  ::Smiles and exits Turbolift, when it arrives on Sickbay's deck::

Host BubbaBob says:
OPS:  We liked Captain Kitty!  He had a nice purr about him!

CNS_Wells says:
::Follows the XO::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That's what they say.  With some luck, maybe we can channel the force instead.

Bubba Jim says:
::smacks Bubba Bob on the head::  Bubba Bob:  Dummy, Don't called him that, and he isn't the Captain.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Sickbay, walking towards the triage area.::  OPS: Are these the two involved in the "incident"?

Host BubbaBob says:
::rubs his head::  Bubba Jim:  Why'd go and do that for?  ::looking as if he is going to cry::

CNS_Wells says:
::Follows XO into Sickbay::

Host BubbaBob says:
XO:  Captain Kitty!  ::a smile brightening his face::

Bubba Jim says:
BubbaBob:  You know what for and quit your blubbering.  ::smacks him again.::

CNS_Wells says:
BubbaBob: That is a very inappropriate way to address a superior officer, Ensign.

Host BubbaBob says:
ALL:  Owie!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::pacing, counting to ten for the tenth time::

Host BubbaBob says:
ALL:  What? What'd I do?

Bubba Jim says:
BubbaBob:  You idiot, don't call him that.  He is not the Captain anymore.

Host BubbaBob says:
Bubba Jim:  He ain't?  ::staring at the XO::  He looks like he always does!

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Bubba Bob: You can refer to me as Sir, or Commander Ayidee.  Improper rank and names are not for on duty comments.

CNS_Wells says:
BubbaBob: We use proper titles to remind us of the chain of command, Ensign.  Maybe you need to review Starfleet protocols on the proper way to address your shipmates?

Host BubbaBob says:
::he looks down at the floor, not understanding what he has done wrong::

Host BubbaBob says:
XO:  Sir, I meant no disrespect Sir.  I have always liked you.

Bubba Jim says:
ALL:  Sorry about him, his mama dropped him on his head a few times when he was a baby.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Bubbas: Now, first things first, have your injuries been treated?

CNS_Wells says:
::Wonders how this guy made it through the Academy without anyone noticing what a moron he is.  Wished he had reviewed his records::

Host BubbaBob says:
Bubba Jim:  Now why did you have to go and tell?  You promised you wouldn't!

Bubba Jim says:
XO:  The Doc said we should be outta here soon.

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes a look at the two patient's sickbay chart to see what's what::

Bubba Jim says:
BubbaBob:  I told cuz I am tired of getting punished for your stupidity.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Bubba Jim: That's good, glad to hear the injuries weren't serious.  What happened to cause them?

Host BubbaBob says:
CNS:  Sir, when did I get a promotion?

CNS_Wells says:
BubbaBob: Now would not be an appropriate time to discuss that subject, Ensign.

Host BubbaBob says:
ALL:  I am just ship a clean up person cause I do that so well, at least that is what the tests showed when I took them.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALOUD:  Promotion!!  Are you out of your mind.  ::pacing again.::

Bubba Jim says:
XO:  Doofus here put the methane canister on a shelf and it fell cuz it wasn't leveled.

Host BubbaBob says:
::looks around to see who Bubba Jim is talking about::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Bubbas: Is there a reason to not use the Replicators to supply the room?  Or why the canister had to go in the room itself?

Host BubbaBob says:
Bubba Jim:  Who is Doofus?  I thought we was alone?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I recommend that Doctor Downer and I both do some examinations on our friend Bob, here.  Two very different types of brain scans, so to speak.

Bubba Jim says:
BubbaBob:  Just shut up.
XO:  Replicators!  What a good idea.

Host BubbaBob says:
::starts to open his mouth, then shuts it again after the look Bubba Jim gives him::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::stops pacing::  ALL:  Oh my god.  Why me?

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Were these two instructed on how to set up a methane gas enhanced VIP quarters, Commander?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That would be good, at least make sure there are no underlying... ::Coughs.::  medical issues.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  According to the team leader, they are.  I need to investigate to get to the bottom of this.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: It's not like they would have done it before, this is new territory for us all.  I know they made mistakes but, nothing serious happened…
Bubbas: This time!!!

Host BubbaBob says:
::he jumps off the table and grabs the CNS in a bear hug::  CNS:  Thank you Sir, thank you!  ::grinning from ear to ear::
Bubba Jim:  See?  He doesn't think I am a dummy!

CNS_Wells says:
BubbaBob: Whoa pal, back up.  We need to have the inappropriate speech again?  ::Gently backs the guy off him::

CNS_Wells says:
Bubba Bob: Okay now, sit, relax.  You and I need to have a talk, okay.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Wonders when Bubba Jim heard that.::

Bubba Jim says:
BubbaBob:  Cuz no one wanted to tell you.

Host BubbaBob says:
::looking like an eager little puppy dog::  CNS:  Yes Sir!  Want to talk right now?  I can tell you lot's of stuff about my family!

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Bubba Bob: I'm guessing you have a very close family.  Very, very close.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Sir, I think Bob, here, is done in Sickbay. Permission to take him... to my office.

Host BubbaBob says:
XO:  Yes Sir!  We all live in the hills and most all of them are my family!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Take him.

CNS_Wells says:
::Hears Bob:: XO: That could explain a lot.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Permission granted.  I'll have Doctor Downer set up a schedule for both of them.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I wouldn't mind if you would lose him somewhere.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Aye, Sir.
OPS: I'll get back to you on that idea. ::Smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::just looks at the CNS::

Host BubbaBob says:
::he is so full of happiness, his body is physically shivering::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good luck.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  You'll need it.

CNS_Wells says:
BubbaBob: Bob?  Can I call you Bob, Ensign?  How'd you like to come with me, to my office?  I thought we could have a little visit?

Bubba Jim says:
BubbaBob:  Behave or I'll tell Big Bubba Bob.

Host BubbaBob says:
CNS:  Yes Sir!  That is my name!  Bob!  Can we go now and talk?  ::grinning from ear to ear::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Make sure you have them scheduled to allow for the sessions.

CNS_Wells says:
::Leads him... away:: BubbaBob: This way, Bob.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  They're cleared as of now.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host BubbaBob says:
Bubba Jim:  And don't you say nothing to Daddy!  ::turning back to follow the CNS::

Bubba Jim says:
::just grins at Bubba Bob.::
