Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11005.23.  The search for both Lieutenant Worthington and whatever is behind the missing vessels continues.  We are going with the assumption they are related, but at this time, we can prove nothing.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Still no signs?

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::sweating over her console trying to find the cloaked ship, that continues to elude their efforts in finding it::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  No signs anywhere.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  No Sir!  Nothing is stirring, not even a particle of matter so far.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sigh.:: CO: Well all quiet at the western front sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Then let's break off.  Let your backups continue the hunt, all Alpha Team are ordered to a dinner break for the next hour.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
FCO:  At times like these, it would be nice to just have a spread of torpedoes just to see if we turn up anything!
SO:  Aye Sir!  Are we going to the Pathways?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: I hear you say what I think.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: That's a good place.  That way we keep together.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
Turner:  I need you take over here for an hour, but if anything, no matter what shows up, call me, understood?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Pathways? Delicious I hope.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
<SO Turner>  SO-Baldwin:  Aye Sir, that is a promise.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::She makes sure her relief takes over and is briefed on what is happening and to notify her if anything happens with Shadow.::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::Nods at her replacement and walks to the TL and waits for the others to join her::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*Farsy*: Could come over to the bridge, and take over my job, unless you are to busy doing other things.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::joins others in TL::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OOD: If anything, anything at all comes up, call me in Pathways.  We'll return shortly for your turn at the till.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  Holding the door for you, Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<OOD> CO: Aye Sir, I have the Bridge.  Will call if anything comes up.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
<Farsy> *FCO*: Me being busier then sitting at the bridge? Well please, Bridge is better, I am on my way sir. Shuttles are fine and done.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods and heads to the Turbolift.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Grins.::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
OPS:  I have only been there a few times, is there a good choice of food?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO I will stay behind, till Farsy shows up.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Emergency rations mostly.  But they do have a warming unit.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  As good as one can expect on a Starship.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::looks at the CO's reply then at OPS::  ALL:  Ok, which is it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: They have a full menu.  It was an attempt at humor.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  You will have to excuse me Sir, this is my first mission working with you.  Is the catnip good Sir?  ::grinning::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
<Farsy>: Walks up to the Turbolift. Eating a snack while the lift goes up. He has a cup of coffee in his other hand.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Have nothing to compare it with, so I believe it's fine.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  Sir, might I ask a personal question?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: You can ask, I'll answer if I can.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  What made you want to join Starfleet?  
::glances at OPS not sure if she should have asked that question::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Waiting impatient for Farsy as he shows up fro the TL. Eating the last part of his snack and sipping from his cup.:: Farsy: A there you are. Coffee? Well I have not seen that cup. Enjoy yourselves.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: That's not a quick answer.  I was alone, no home, not comfortable planet side.  Starfleet seemed a good place to go to get out in space.  Wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but it was still a good choice, all things considered.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Walks over to the TL.::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  Did you want to get away from your planet and family?  I know it was hard for me to leave mine.  ::watches as the FCO steps into the TL::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: None to get away from.  As I said, I was alone.  Some by fate, some by choice, although I would not have missed those I "left" by choice.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
ALL: I think we can go?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::After FCO enters.::  TL: Deck 7, Pathways.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::nods to the FCO and looks at the Captain::
CO:  That is a little enigmatic Sir.  Would you mind explaining a little better?

ACTION:  The Turbolift arrives at deck 7.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::steps off first and waits for the others to follow::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps out.::  SO: I was a prisoner of a pirate group from the time I was a small child until my middle teens.  My escape left me knowing no one, and not trusting much for that matter.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Gets out as last. As usual.::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  OH Captain!  I am so sorry!  Please excuse my ignorance.  That must have been horrible for you.  How old were you?  Did you join Starfleet right away or go to school?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: My entire childhood, or all I can clearly remember.  I joined after a short time, getting up to speed in the prerequisites.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
OPS:  Were you young as well?  I don't know anything about anyone, so if I say something wrong, please know I didn't mean to.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::follows everyone to Pathways::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  You must be very smart for them to have accepted you Sir.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
OPS: A nice dinner would do us good, don't you think so?

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::stops in front of the entrance to the Pathways::  CO:  Would you pick the table?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  I joined Starfleet a little later than most.  I had some trauma in my life to get though before I could be accepted.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Everyone who makes it into the Academy has intelligence.  A life lived on a Starship helped a great deal, as it put my education ahead in several key areas.  That one over there is fine I believe.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
OPS:  Wow!  ::blushes::  I guess I am just blundering in to everyone's past.  ::looks to where he points and follows him to the table.::
FCO:  What about you?  When did you join Starfleet?  ::she hopes he didn't have a traumatic past too::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves to the table, stopping to let the waiter know to put the bill on Captain's tab.::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
ALL:  Would anyone mind if I sat facing the window?  I love to see the stars fly by!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: Feels so long ago, but it is more like 2 to 3 years. We have been gone through a lot. And that ages you more then you think

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::looks at the menu to see what she wants to eat;:

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Feel free.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::waits for the Captain to order first::

Host SO-Baldwin says:
FCO:  I can understand that now.  I am frustrated at not being able to find that ship!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: It's out there, so it can be found.  Space is big, the area you can search at a time isn't.  Give it time.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  Do I sound impatient?  ::mulls over her question::  I guess I am.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: I remember me coming here as a third year Cadet. And afterwards I was offered Galaxy classes, Defiant classes, but  I could stay here too, so I stayed,

Host SO-Baldwin says:
OPS:  How long have you been in Starfleet?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: They have the advantage, they can pick the time and place they end their hiding.  When that happens, we will be ready.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
FCO: Well I am sure everyone is glad you did.  By the way, my first name is Sarah.  What is yours?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  For nearly 8 to 9 years now.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
CO:  What are you going to order Sir?  ::notices the waiter standing there ready to take their order::
OPS:  And of those years, on this ship?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks at the menu card and chooses fish to eat. Trout to be precise, with French fries.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Possibly pasta, spaghetti with meat balls.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she doesn't look at the menu as she knows what she wants. She tells the waiter to get her a large salad with cucumbers, lots of cheese, black olives without the pits, topped with extra ranch dressing and croutons and she asks for a large glass of unsweetened iced tea with no lemon.::
SO: For the most part.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks over the menu card to the SO:: SO: Konrad. Konrad Zdunowski. East Poland to be precise. My family are farmers, and we have a Vodka burning license in the family. My dad is the farmer, and from section 31, I think. He seems to know more about Starfleet, and where I hang out, then me.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
Waiter:  I would like the chicken breast with a baked potato and small green salad.  Let's see, a diet coke for me.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
Waiter: That idea of Salad from the SO is a good idea. Could I order one too? Next to my trout and French Fries.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::grins at the FCO::  FCO:  If I didn't know better, I think the same thing with my folks.  They always seem to know what I am doing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Waiter: Spaghetti with meat balls and milk, 292 Kelvin.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
FCO:  Nice to meet you.  You seem to know some fancy flight maneuvers.
OPS:  How many were in your family?
CO:  Did you have any siblings?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  Growing up, was just me and my mother and father.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Not that I know of, was an only child, which in some ways was better.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
ALL:  I have a sister.  She teaches at the University.  She thought I had lost my mind when I joined.  She isn't very adventuresome at all!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: You too. If you are in need of a bottle of Vodka, I guess you need to know where you can get one. Better then the Synthehol. ::Laughs.::  And I have always one bottle at my working place. And the Captain does not know it officially. And no, it is not for drinking. It is stowed away in the consoles foot. As the lucky bottle.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
::begins to laugh::  FCO:  Well I have heard of a lot of different mascots, but never a bottle of Vodka!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
SO: I have the idea it works. So it must be good then. No?

Host SO-Baldwin says:
FCO:  If you say so!  ::laughing::
CO:  Captain, truly, what other kinds of food do you like to eat?
ALL:  My mother said I would eat anything that didn't eat me first!  I just love food.  I am lucky I don't gain weight.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: I have a number of things I enjoy, usually depending on my mood or the situation.

Host SO-Baldwin says:
OPS:  And you?  Your favorites are?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  Mainly chicken, steak, and salads like I ordered.  As long my meal is accompanied with iced tea like I have here.  ::points to her drink::

ACTION:  The CO, OPS, FCO, and SO have a relaxing dinner, before they have to return to the problem at hand.  Finding one Trent Worthington III.
