Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 10910.04:  The crew is still in route to Risa on board the USS Rigel, and taking advantage of every moment of relaxation and rest that is made available to us.

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

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::watching her daughter finish her dessert::

CNS_Wells says:
::Still in the USS Rigel's lounge with, it seems the entire senior crew, plus an Admiral.  Is munching on sandwiches and feeling less intoxicated::

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
::In Lounge, watching the crew interact as we journey.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
:sitting in the Lounge on the USS Rigel, continuing to brainstorm her new story that she is going to write::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  Sit here for a moment while I go and say hello to the crew.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> ::nods::  Momma:  Ok Momma,  tell Uncle Tio I said hello.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Sitting in the lounge, awaiting the travel to end. Meanwhile sipping on his white monkey tea.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::getting up from her chair, she turns in the direction of the table where the senior staff had gathered.  Threading her way over to their table, she waits for an opening::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: finishes his sandwich and wipes his mouth with the napkin as he looks up to see the approaching admiral.::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Sat staring into a cup of Raktijino::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Hello everyone.  I hope everyone is beginning to relax after your last ordeal?

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: Yes ma'am, we're on the path that way for certain.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks up at the ADM and nods a greeting::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Looks up from his tea.:: Adm: Hello madam.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she comes up with a name of Thystiana for her main character and she has telekinetic powers and no memory of her past.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I am glad to hear it.  I have only one order while on Risa, have a super time!  I intend to get away from everyone and just veg out!

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles at the FCO's comment..:: FCO: Trust me, if she had her red dress on,  "Madam" would not be the first thing on the top of your head.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Meanwhile looking for a free chair and pushes that to the table.:: Adm: Admiral, take a seat, please.
::Gives a smile to the aCO.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
FCO:  Thank you.  I can't stay long, as I have left T'Sara by herself.  At her age, that is not wise.

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles in agreement with ADM's idea of R&R::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  She said to tell her Uncle Tio hello.  Expect a visit anytime Tio.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: smiles and stands up. :: Adm: Take my seat, I don't think me and the little lady have been properly introduced at all.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: I'll keep the sentries posted, ma'am.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Perhaps as you leave you might say hello.  That way, she won't be dropping in without warning.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: Yes, of course.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shakes his head and grins, walking over to where the Admiral left her daughter...::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  What’s this I hear about you are going to make your famous chili?

CNS_Wells says:
::Watches everyone going through the motions and wanting to be anywhere else::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Gary, you are not your usual self.  Is there anything I can do to help?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Takes a sip of his Raktijino so as not to look completely out of place::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: turns around and nods. :: Adm: Well, seeing as this is practically a family outing, I thought it would only be fitting if I brought along a few servings of my family's world famous chili.  It's been known to build bonds and cement friendships.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I'm fine, Admiral or I will be.  I guess the vacation was a good idea after all.  I'm sorry I opposed it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::begins to laugh::  CO:  I don't think I would have quite explained it that way Mark!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  I don't believe we have met.  How are you liking the Cherokee duty?

CNS_Wells says:
::Resists the urge to comment::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
Self: Oh my goodness, chili. I hope it will go good with my white monkey tea,

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
Adm: I'll put it this way, I'd rather be there right now.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: Well, that and the bonding that occurs in sickbay after you eat the chili is usually something that helps in that process as well.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
CO: Aye, but it hurts other processes.  Sometimes for a few days.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: You can put something in your mouth called a white monkey, and you worry they won't compliment each other?  You're asking a lot.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I hope you have warned you new crew about it!
CTO:  Do you not like taking a rest?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
Adm: I like not leaving my mind to wonder.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: They are Starfleet officers, boldly going where no man had gone before.  I'm sure a little chili wouldn't harm them.  Much.
:: grins ::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CNS: Well counselor, you have good ears. But Chili is hot, and the white monkey is so soft. Hehe.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
CO: Rumor has it they used to say that about Romulan Ale.

CNS_Wells says:
aCO: I'll pass.  I wouldn’t compliment what I've already ingested.  And, like you said, your chili is like cement.
FCO: I'll pass on both.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  It looks like you might have a chili rebellion on your hands Mark! ::laughing heartily::

CNS_Wells says:
::Is tempted to order a Romulan Ale::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Gives a big smile back.:: CNS: Gary, I get the impression, that you are slowly back on track to your normal life. Am I right?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: It does look like that, and Ma will be so upset that no one wanted to try another serving.  She was so looking forward to doing something for the crew.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Mark, I would never insult your mother, but once was enough for my stomach.  I am still missing stomach lining from the last time.
CNS:  I thought it was more like acetone!

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Not yet but, we have a plan, Pal.  ::Smiles at his friend reassuringly::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she knows that she should join the others but she really wants to get this story going and hopefully get it finished in a reasonable amount of time.::

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Outer hull cleaner.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  I can agree on that one Gary!

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
CNS: So it has a dual purpose?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Mark, looks like you are going to have to be sneaky.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: Hmmm, and we all know how good I am at that.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: gives a mischievous look to all and walks over to where T'Sara is sitting. ::

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Oh, many.  I hear they are looking into ways for Hazzard chili to power a warp core engine.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I think that is a good sign, don't let him know where you are going once we arrive at Risa!  ::laughing so hard she has tears in her eyes::
CNS:  Power from heat or gas Gary?

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Gas.  If we can figure a way to hook it up to Mark.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Sees everybody in a reasonable good mood, but knows as well, that everybody is a bit cooking, just below the skin.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Feels much better already.  Humor and time cures all::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  I bet we could get OPS to help us out on that one!

CNS_Wells says:
::Starts on another sandwich::
ADM: Sure, then she can write a new book about it.
Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles as he hears the comments coming from the other table as he looks down at the Admiral's Daughter. :: T'Sara:  So I take it your enjoying your trip so far, Miss?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::chuckles:: CNS:  I don't know how she could top her Treeboy stories.  T'Sara loves them.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  CO:  Yes!  I can't wait to get to Risa.  Momma said we could go swimming and have a picnic too!

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I haven't seen it yet.  ::Remembers New Hades and the book and toys and the kids there with them and gets sad again::  They made a lot of kids happy though.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara>  ::wiping ice cream from her face::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Gary, a small word of advice, get it out of your head as soon as you can.  Those kinds of situations can eat you alive.  I know, I have been there many times before.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a seat and nods. :: T'Sara: Yeah, sounds like we are all due for a pretty good time.  I'm just glad you get to come with us.  I'm sure your Mother is delighted to have you along with us.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: That is easier said than done.  I know, I've been there before.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I understand.  I'm just not sure how far I'm going to have to go in order to separate things from my head.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  Yes, and Cleopatra is with us.  She is like a babysitter in a way.  She tells off on me if I am bad... ::sighs::

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I already don't like what I'm becoming because I can't separate it any more.  It's like I forgot how. Or its all just getting worse or I am, I don't know.  I really don't.  ::Pops the last bite of a sandwich in his mouth::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins :: T’Sara: Well regardless, I'm glad you'll be with us.  It will be nice for all of us to kick back and relax, and who knows?  I know some of us are really looking forward to having a water balloon fight.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  A water balloon fight?  What is that?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Gary, you are always welcome to join T'Sara and I.  We are going to a secluded beach.  Just let me know and I will give you the directions ::looking at the rest of the crew::  And of course, any of you are welcome as well.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Needing something stronger, he replaces his Raktijino with a whisky::

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I feel like we are leaving unfinished business.  Like we shouldn't just be sitting around right now.  Is Starfleet Command going to do enough about Lee and Paul?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Tio, perhaps you might find someone to take your mind off your worries.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Gary, let's just say, I have a few sources that will let me know if ANY information comes in about either of them.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CNS: If there's one thing 8 lifetimes teaches you, it's leave your emotions out of business. And Starfleet is business.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Thanks, but I got a place I'm going to.  But you girls have fun.  Give me the address, maybe I'll come for a visit.  Build a sandcastle with the kid.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
T’Sara:  Well, you take some balloons, fill them up with ice water, and then you toss them at everyone.  Think of it as a snowball fight without the snow.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: Perhaps, but I'll deal either way.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  That sounds like fun!  ::begins thinking about how to do it without her mother knowing::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  I am glad to hear it Gary.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
FCO:  What are your plans?

CNS_Wells says:
::Gets up and goes to the bar::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
T’Sara : That's what this vacation is supposed to be all about, having fun.  And from what I understand Caitians LOVE water.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Downs the whisky and pulls out a data PADD to read::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  Really?  Uncle Tio loves cold water?  ::peering into the CO's mind::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
Adm: I do not know. I have found a house. Perhaps reading, visiting Gary. I do not know.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Is this your 9th life or 10th?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
Adm: 9th, I think. It gets very confusing.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: makes a point of thinking about Tio frolicking in an ice cold waterfall::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
FCO:  I am sure that Gary will show you a good time.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  When you have time, I would love to sit down and talk to you about your other lives.  Trills have always fascinated me.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
Adm: He told me, that he would show me around. Well I guess I will have a good time there. I guess we need that for something that is coming after the holidays.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
Adm: Anytime admiral, I have plenty of stories to tell.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sits at the bar drinking a large coffee and looking over the crowd in the lounge::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Well folks, I need to get my daughter to bed.  Everyone enjoy the rest of the night.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she comes to a stopping point and she gets up and heads off to join her family in their quarters.::

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: Thank you ma'am, see you soon.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Nods.:: Adm: Admiral, good night then.

CNS_Wells says:
::Nods a good night, in the ADM's direction::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods goodnight to all and walk over to get T'Sara::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Seeing everyone else leaving, he grabs another whisky and heads off to his quarters:: ALL: Goodnight everyone.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
T’Sara: Well, looks like I need to get myself going myself. It was nice talking to you.  See you later, little missy.

CNS_Wells says:
::Will remain behind to have a second cup::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> CO:  Goodnight Captain.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  Come on.  It is time to go.  We will be at Risa in the morning.

ACTION:  The USS Rigel is arriving in orbit around the planet Risa.  The Captain announces it to his passengers.  It is 0800.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  Make sure Cleopatra is in her carrying case.  Also, bring your bags out here and check to make sure you have left nothing behind.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
::Walking to Transporter Room with travel bag over shoulder.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> Adm:  Ok Momma.  I have looked twice, but I will look again.

CNS_Wells says:
::Carrying his own stuff, because it is faster and less painful than to deal with a yeoman::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she made sure everyone is packed and ready to go to Risa.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Walking into the transporter room.:: All: Good morning. First time I slept well in ages.
::Puts a bag full of stuff on the floor.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::hearing the chimes on her door, she goes to answer it::

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
::Walks in Transporter Room as well.::  FCO: Good to hear that.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Yeoman> Adm:  If your bags are ready, I will take them to the TR and have them sent to your room on Risa.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she gathers up her "troops" and heads for the transporter room, and within a few minutes they all arrive::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Yeoman:  Yes they are ::pointing to them in the middle of the room::  Be sure to tell the Captain I said thank you for your services.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: carries most of his possessions in a simple duffel bag slung over his shoulder as he whistles a simple tune he remembers from a long time ago. ::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Gathers up what little he has bought along and heads to the transporter room::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Yeoman> Adm:  Yes Ma’am I will, and it is a pleasure to help you.  ::going into the room, he reaches down and takes the bags, then leaves the Admiral's quarters::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::they all in the Transporter Room and they all look like they have more than everyone else ... combined.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  Come on sweetie.  We only have to carry Cleopatra with us.  The hotel is waiting for us to arrive.

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters transporter room, see others readying to disembark::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> Adm:  Yes Momma.  ::reaching down she takes hold of Cleopatras case::  I am ready!

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Arrives in the transporter room:: All: Anyone know a good bar? I intend on not remembering this shore leave.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> ::hoping her mother doesn't notice, she telekinetically keeps the case at her side::

CNS_Wells says:
::He gives his destination to the Transporter Room chief and makes his way to the transporter pad::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::she smiles to herself at her daughter's small deceit.  Sometimes it is best not to notice if no harm is caused::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::when it is her turn to say where her destination, she specifies the coordinates to her house on Risa::

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: The whole planet is one great big good bar.  You shouldn't have trouble.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CTO: I have the bottles with me. But don't tell the others.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CNS/FCO: Fancy a bar crawl? After all, we should get to know each other.

CNS_Wells says:
::Steps onto pad and waits for his turn for dematerializing::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks onto the transporter pad. :: ALL: Everyone remember where we parked.

ACTION:  A water filled balloon enters the transporter room and hovers over the XO's head.  It then bursts, raining ice cold water down on his head.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CNS: I have a house near your location. OK, if you count 5 minutes walk as near.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
TR Chief: North Continent, town of...What the...where did that come from?!

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: Agreed, Konrad knows how to reach me.  Let's do get together one evening.
FCO: That's good news, neighbor.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::she walks into the transporter room and notices that Tio is wet from head to foot::
XO:  What happened?  You are wet!

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Nods.:: CNS/CTO: yes one evening of alcohol.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> ::edges behind her mother, hoping not to be noticed::

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
TR Chief: Town of Villa.
Adm: I do not know, it appeared out of nowhere.

CNS_Wells says:
::Gets a little bit moist standing near Tio Ayidee::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: covers his face with his hand.:: Self: Oh, this is going to be fun to explain...

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CNS/FCO: Don't forget, if you don't stop drinking you never get the effects.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Sees the XO and thinks of a nearly drowned cat.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::she turns her head and then turns her body to look down at her daughter::  
T’Sara: What did you do?

CNS_Wells says:
::Will be glad not to have to see these people for awhile and knows they feel the same::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sees the Balloon incident and knows immediately who's original idea it was as she looks at Mark and smiles::

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks impatiently at the Transporter Room chief::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks over to the OPS and gives her his best  "Who Me?  I'm innocent" look.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> Momma:  It was Uncle Mark's idea.  She said Tio loved iced water filled water balloons!

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Self: Uh oh.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
Self: Here is where history starts again. The balloon incident.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::gives Mark the "Yeah, Right" look::

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
CO: Ice filled what?

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: I think your daughter is lacking in part of her education, Admiral.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  No Gary, I think she is much too trusting.  ::turning she looks at Mark for an explanation::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I apologize for T'Sara.  I truly can say she didn't know what she was doing.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: That's what I mean.  Teach her some street smarts.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
T'Sara:  Apologize to your Uncle Tio now.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
Adm: No real harm done, it's forgotten.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks over to the transporter chief. :: Transporter Chief:  Energize for God's Sake!

ACTION:  The Captain is transported to Risa.

CNS_Wells says:
::Still waiting impatiently::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> XO:  I am sorry Uncle Tio.  I didn't mean to do anything bad.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: chuckles as he wipes his brow. :: Self: Well, any escape you can pull off and still have all your limbs is one you can walk away from.

Host XO_Ayidee_ says:
T'Sara: Don't worry about it.  Really.

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinking the Rigel Transporter guy is an idiot::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<T'Sara> XO:  Thank you Uncle Tio.  I will make sure I make it right.
