Summary: In the midst of the meeting with Admiral Alexander, in her office on Starbase 33, the Cherokee crew awaits the Admiral's decision.  Meanwhile the Captain and CTO have been called away on an emergency security matter, thus stalling the proceedings.  We join the Cherokee crew in the Admiral's office...

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

XO_Wells says:
::Watches the CO and CTO leave the room in a rush::  ADM: So, what now?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Since we cannot finish up, let's break for a couple of hours.

XO_Wells says:
ADM: You mean lunch? It's only zero ten thirty hours.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Then, I suggest you find something to do for the break.  I am sure that son of yours would love to see the base.

XO_Wells says:
ADM: He's in school.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  What about you?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  I'm relishing a little time away from the Twins and Ryleigh.  By the way, I have en route for you a copy of my Treeboy Adventures and the accompanying doll for you.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Are you feeling alright? You aren't coming down with something are you?

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Gee, I never even got a set for myself.  
ADM: You should feel honored.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  I am so glad.  I have heard how they helped the slaves.  I am sure T'Sara would love to read it as well.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Be patient, you'll get it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  You are quiet as well.  Is there something on your mind?

XO_Wells says:
ALL: We could get brunch?  A nice cup of coffee with a Danish perhaps?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  That can be easily fixed.  I'll make sure a second set arrives before we leave the base.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Grins::  OPS:  I wonder how Mr. Hazzard would feel if he knew he was famous?

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: Yeah, yeah, I am coming along. I was somewhere else with my thoughts.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  He'll be just fine.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Does he get a percentage?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
ADM: Is that here at the Star Base away from the ship. I feel like I have to do something at my work. But, I need now to relax.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  He'll be compensated just the way he needs to be.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Begins to laugh::  OPS:  Another oatmeal bath perhaps?  If so, you have a very long reach!

XO_Wells says:
ALL: Maybe some scrambled eggs or a nice piece of toast with jam?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  You have free time and could do with it as you please.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  No, nothing to that extreme.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  So does everyone want to do their own thing or shall we have an early lunch or late breakfast?

XO_Wells says:
CEO: Let's go eat something, a short stack, maybe some fresh squeezed orange juice?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
ADM: I need something to eat and drink but I don't want to be alone.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: That's a good idea, I will join you.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: You could put a shot of your family’s recipe in the orange juice...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Well, I have some work to finish up here.  All of you go ahead and I will join you shortly.

XO_Wells says:
ADM: You're coming to brunch with us, aren’t you?  We wanna eat in the Admiral's mess hall; it’s nicer in there.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: Are you sure we can do that?  I have a bottle with me, as always.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Nods::

XO_Wells says:
FCO: I won't tell.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Shoo!  See y’all in a little while!

XO_Wells says:
FCO: We can even put it in tomato juice, that's very customary for a proper brunch; Bloody Mary?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  No talk of that kind of drink for me.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: You have nerves. Tomato juice with Vodka. Well Orange juice, would be oké, or put it over meat.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Meat?  That's just silly.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
ALL: I need something stronger and I can do it with vodka.  Have you hear a drink that is a warp core breach?

XO_Wells says:
::Smiles::  CEO/FCO/OPS: Let's go ::Looks back at the ADM, not coming, and...::  I guess we'll have to use the officer's mess hall.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: No. Beef with Vodka. Bake it and let it cook for half an hour with the alcohol over it. The alcohol goes away but the taste stays.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: After you, Mrs. Nash.

XO_Wells says:
CEO/FCO: Gentlemen, we need sustenance, and waffles.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Well, you get what you want and I'll stick to my sobering routine.  ::Walks with her friends::

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Not even champagne with a strawberry in it?

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
Self: Huhm. Waffles with apricots in vodka.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO: Not even that.

XO_Wells says:
CEO: Warp core... hey, it's still morning, we can't get too plowed.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Hmmm, seems a waste of good booze.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: Well then... pick a glass. Here help yourselves.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: You are probably right, I shall abstain from the devil's tonic as well; it is, after all, before noon.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: Yeah, maybe is too early! Let's stay with the basics, a screwdriver or a Bloody Mary.

XO_Wells says:
CEO: Or, coffee, maybe a frosty latte?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: Yeah, I cup of frosty latte will be ok.

XO_Wells says:
::Leads others to a restaurant on the base that serves a tasteful brunch::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Follows the XO::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::Follows the XO also::

Hostess of Restaurant says: 
OPS/XO/CEO/FCO: Good morning!  Let me show you to your table. Follow me, please.  :: Leads them to a quiet table and passes out menus:: 
Party of 4: I'll give you a few minutes.  ::Goes away::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Sits down::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::Sits down, too::

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
::Takes a seat::

XO_Wells says:
::Settles into a seat at the table and opens the menu:: Self/All: Well, all this talk about food has me rather famished.  
::Starts reading menu::  Self: What looks good?

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: What? Looks good?

XO_Wells says:
FCO: “What” being what’s on the menu.  I'm thinking a cheese omelet.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: Is there something in the menu that is recommended by the chef?

XO_Wells says:
CEO: You can ask about the specials but, it all looks good.  You're a carnivore, steak and eggs, maybe, for you, huh?

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: Sigh, Cheese omelet.  So long since I had that, I might take it too or this omelet with pork.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: That's good for me.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Spotting one of her favorite breakfast meals::  ALL: I don't know about you all, but I am going to get some waffles with cream and fruit.

XO_Wells says:
XO: I know we talked about some things in the meeting you all might not be sure of.  If you want to discuss it, the Captain and I agree you should not be left in the dark regarding our next mission, official or unofficial as it may turn out to be.

Waitress says:
::Shows up at the table, order PADD in hand:: Party of 4: Are we all ready to order?

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Mrs. Nash. ::Indicates she should order first::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
All: The girls orders first.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Waitress:  I would like three waffles with whip cream and a mixture of bananas and peaches. As for a drink, I'll have a glass of Iced Tea unsweetened, no lemon.

Waitress says:
   ::Takes the order, sending it straight to the kitchen:: OPS: Very good, Commander.

XO_Wells says:
CEO/FCO: Order up boys, I'm putting it all on the Admiral's tab.

Waitress says:
::Looks at both the FCO and CEO in great anticipation of their order::

XO_Wells says:
Waitress: Cheese omelet, hash browns, English muffin, strawberry jam, three strips soy bacon and a large cup of coffee, light, three sugars.
FCO: We haven't got all day, guys.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Waitress: I would like a steak and eggs with a mixture of cheese. As for drink, I will have a cup of coffee frosty latte.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
Waitress: Well, my little list then. Omelet, with ham, sandwich cheese, sandwich ham, glass of orange juice, Ice tea is also nice. Thanks Commander Nash, for the idea. And yeah, sandwich tomato. That will do it, for the time being, I guess.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Self: Opps!

Waitress says:
   ::Takes both orders:: FCO/CEO/XO/OPS: I think I have it all, thank you, I'll be right back with your drinks.  ::Goes away::

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
All: Was that much?  I am hungry like a bear. Could eat all of that card.

XO_Wells says:
ALL: So, before we were interrupted, I just wanted you to know, we may be doing some things that might not be... well-known and we'd like to keep it that way.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
::Looks odd. :: XO: What do you mean sir?

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Our official assignment is to return to New Hades and retrieve some left behind equipment…

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: Oké. That is what I heard too. The inofficial version?

XO_Wells says:
CEO/FCO: That's what we tell Starfleet command, that's what they put in the books.  We will need Admiral Alexander's blessing if we are to proceed as we would like.

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
XO: I can live with that version. And I will abide to it; officially.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Unfortunately, the Admiral managed to get the real story out of Tio before he knew what hit him, her and her wicked, wicked ways.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Yeah. she sure did.

Waitress says:
::Returns to table with a large tray and begins to pass out drinks, juice, water, sweet rolls, butter and assorted jams and jellies, including a tasty marmalade:: Party of 4: Here we are...!!!

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
Waitress: Could you deliver me a second, second sandwich tomato?  I am really hungry.

XO_Wells says:
::Getting a bit annoyed at the constant interruptions but, realizes the waitress is just doing her job:: Waitress: Thank you. Thank you, Miss.

Waitress says:
FCO: I'd be happy to, Lieutenant.  ::Sends the order::

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
Waitress: Do not forget my second sandwich tomato. A wait. I will pick it up myself later. Thanks.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Arranges items in front of her, then she grabs a sweet roll and a few peach preserves portions::

XO_Wells says:
::Waits for her to go away, gives the FCO a look and proceeds::  ALL: The need-to-know version of our mission is...

Waitress says:
::Returns to the table:: FCO: Did you want that sandwich toasted, Sir?

XO_Wells says:
::Shuts up and sips his coffee::

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
Waitress: That sounds like a very tasteful idea. Yes.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::Grabs a little of food that is in front of him, mixing it takes a little bite :: Self: Gummy!

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Are you sure we shouldn't have a drink?

Waitress says:
FCO: Be back in a jiffy.  ::Goes away::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  That is entirely up to you, I'll stick with my tea, thanks.  ::She sips her tea.::

XO_Wells says:
ALL: So, where was I...?  Oh yeah, so according to Trent, who heard it from Diana Smith...

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
::Picks up his plate and starts to eat.:: All: Really good food.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Sorry, don't let it spoil your meal...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Looks at the chronometer and realizes she will never make lunch with her crew::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  I wasn't planning on it.

XO_Wells says:
ALL: Back on New Hades is something else we want to retrieve, Trent believes that Pau....

Waitress says:
::Returns with her large tray:: Party of 4: Here we are!!!  ::Begins passing out the plates of food::

XO_Wells says:
::Shuts up and smiles politely::

Waitress says:
FCO: Toasted, just for you, Sweety.  ::Finishes with the plates and, goes away::

FCO_LT_Zdunowski says:
::Raises an eyebrow and thinks whose food he has been eating, while his food is just being served.:: Waitress: Thank you ma'am.

XO_Wells says:
ALL: Oh bother, before she comes back.... We are going after Paul LoDuca.  Don't tell anyone.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::She begins to eat her meal and enjoying every tasty morsel as if it will be the last for awhile.::

XO_Wells says:
::Looks totally exasperated as he stuffs an English muffin in his mouth::
