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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In conference room of the restaurant, ensuring that it's privacy is really private.::

XO_Wells says:
::Walking down Broadway, taking in the sights and reading all the marques telling what's playing at all the theaters.  Thinking about resigning Starfleet and becoming an Ac-tor::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::reading an old plaque in Manhattan Financial District, from what she understands from it, it was a dedication to many people who lost their lives in a massive attack on this city.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sitting on a bench near a big pond. In Central Park says the city guide on his PADD.::

XO_Wells says:
::Avoiding the magnetic moving sidewalk, opting instead to take advantage of the opportunity to get some exercise and to walk in a straight line, rather than always walking the corridors of the Cherokee, there you just walk in circles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Confident the room is clear, takes a seat and starts looking over what little we have so far.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sees an ice cream cart and buys a big chocolate-vanilla ice cream.::

XO_Wells says:
::Looking at the numbers of the various buildings he passes and wondering how ZG is getting along with Kyle.  Kyle took ZG to the FNS station, something about using ZG to annoy the heck out of his boss, Morty?::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees D'Amato come in, look nervously about and suddenly realize he's the only one to arrive so far.::

XO_Wells says:
::Finally finding 1501 Broadway:: Self: Hard Rock Cafe.  Hmm, okay, this must be it.  ::He opens the door and enters the establishment.  The decor is totally pop culture stuff, very historical, coincides well with his interest in Earth's old cinema films::  Self: Nice.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she looks at the time and realizes that she better head off to met the CO at the Hard Rock Cafe.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Thinks it is time to find the Hard Rock Cafe, somewhere in New York. Broadway says the guide.::

XO_Wells says:
::Looks around at the stuff around him awhile, then starts to look around wondering where he is suppose to go from here::

XO_Wells says:
::Walks around and finally spots a Caitian, in a red Starfleet uniform:: Self: That must be him.
::Enters a private room:: CO: Oh, there you are.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Ah, welcome.  Room is all set up.  Figured "hide in plain sight" was a good way to go.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after a few wrong turns and backtracking, she manages to locate the Hard Rock Cafe, she enters the building and starts to look for the people she is meeting.::

XO_Wells says:
CO: This decor is nice. We should do our lounge like this. Rename it The Cherokee Hard Rock Lounge.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: That would be interesting, make us a spot on the sight seeing tour.  Not sure how Security would appreciate all the visitors though.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she spots the ones she is looking for and walks up to them.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Welcome Commander.  How has your leave been?

XO_Wells says:
CO: Since when do we care what the TAC guys think?
OPS: Hello.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Been...entertaining.  At least that is what the Twins want to make you think.  In reality, I'll be glad when we get back to a more routine schedule.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Routine? What's that?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS/ XO: Routine is a myth, from what I've learned.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  You know, the routine of chaos and being paid for it.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: I like the being paid for it part.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO: True, me too.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Walks through Seventh Avenue, which will hit Broadway.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: We were discussing becoming franchisees of this place, replace the lounge with one.  The tourists will love it.  Shouldn't make that much more concern, right?

XO_Wells says:
CO: Speaking of myths, myth Chase says a big hello to you all.  Get it?  I said myth Chase instead of Miss Chase?  My son came up with that one.  He had to explain it to me too.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  You're kidding right?

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Wouldn't it be nice to have the most talked about lounge in Starfleet?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I don't think it translates well I'm afraid.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: As ship's senior OPS, you'd be famous.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Not really.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: And we'd have the tourism income.  Think of the business it would draw for the Holodecks.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  I think being known for Treeboy is enough fame I can personally handle.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Buys another ice cream at an ice cream shop, as the first tasted so well. This time a bit smaller.::

XO_Wells says:
CO: We could charge outrageous prices for small drinks.  We could finally afford that personal shuttle for the ship's XO. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: And the French flies would sell like mad.  I think we can push it through.

XO_Wells says:
CO: I think you're right.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Do we have room in the cargo bays to store the souvenir Tee shirts and cups?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sighs:: CO:  I don't think so.

XO_Wells says:
*FCO*: Mr. Zdunowski, did you forget about the Captain's briefing meeting or are you lost?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: No sir. But the view in Central Park was so nice. And the Ice so good that I forgot about the time. I am entering Broadway now. Long walk sir.

XO_Wells says:
CO: I half expected the Admiral to be here. Isn't she coming?  If not, who's going to pick up the check when it comes?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I have that covered, and since that would add to the stuff she doesn't need to know.

XO_Wells says:
*FCO*: As long as you weren't lost in the subway, or central park or floating in the Hudson. Get here soon.  Wells, out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: But from Commander Nash's answer, I think the Hard Rock Lounge is out.  Starbucks work for you?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sighs again::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: You are right. Subway is creepy. I like the sky. Zdunowski out too.

XO_Wells says:
CO: Oh, got it.  Starbucks?  I love coffee.  Well, I say we start.  Konrad is sightseeing and will join us when he's darn good and ready.

XO_Wells says:
CO: So.  What don't we want the Admiral to hear? ::Takes a seat at the table, not waiting for the others::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves over and closes the door.::  All: What we know so far isn't much, but we do know what kind of people we're dealing with.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::After the ice is finished Zdunowski starts a run and enters the Hard Rock Cafe after a few minutes.::

XO_Wells says:
CO/OPS: The evil kind.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Towards that, we have a few "friends" keeping their eyes open.  Kind of ironic, spying on spies, but I hope they will find some answers.

XO_Wells says:
CO: Answers would be a refreshing change.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Ensign D'Amato has done a wonderful job finding people who won't be noticed.  Mostly NCO's and civilians with ties to Starfleet that D'Amato screened.  They can't get in to the rooms they hold the meetings in, but they can at least tell us who's speaking with who.

XO_Wells says:
CO/OPS: I did speak to our friends in the media.  They want to help so, they are doing what they can to see this issue isn't just forgotten.
CO: That does sound encouraging.
D'Amato: Nice work, Ensign.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: They can do a bit more than that.  I would like them to let it out that LoDuca is still out there, and rumors exist that he may be on New Hades.

XO_Wells says:
CO: I think Kandi would love to do that.  I'll tell her when I go to pick up the kid.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Enters the building and looks for the rest of the crew.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: That would be a great help.  If everyone knows where he is, none of his protectors can pretend they don't.

XO_Wells says:
CO: Exactly what I would do, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Waitress> ::Sees the FCO enter.::  FCO: Are you with the Cherokee party?  They're right through that door, sailor.

XO_Wells says:
CO/OPS: Starfleet won't be able to sit on this.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
Waitress: Thank you madam. I am with the crew yes. That door? Thank you.
::Enters the door.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Any chance of finding some hard evidence of what Diana Smith told Lieutenant Worthington?  Someone has to know he's there outside of the deceased.
FCO: Lieutenant, good to see you.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Nods to all.:: CO: I am the last. As usual. But I enjoyed it out in the park. And the ice creams where very good.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  I'm not sure, the information trial hasn't isn't that easy to find even to an efficient snooper like me.

XO_Wells says:
FCO: Hello.  ::Looks at him curiously then, hands him a paper napkin from off the table:: FCO: Here.  I think you have something on your chin.  Is that ice cream?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Not a problem, we were just trying to get refocused on what will be our underlying project again, the end of the LoDuca saga.  We hope.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
XO: He-he. Is it? Thank you for the paper.

XO_Wells says:
CO/OPS: Weren't some survivors of the ship beamed to our ship along with Trent?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: See what you can find.  Official records may have something, but if you find it there, see if you can link it to private sources to cover yourself.

XO_Wells says:
::Smiles at his friend the FCO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: There were, but Intel already has them in custody.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Did you receive my request for leave? Need to help the old folks at home with the yearly crop.  It will be the last time together then.  For the time being, of course.  I will return.

XO_Wells says:
CO: Too bad.  We could of made them talk... somehow.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: We'll have to find a way to get along without you.  Enjoy the visit.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Thank you sir. And now? Party?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Yes, that is the plan.  If that is the right word.

XO_Wells says:
::Smiles again at FCO:: FCO: You can have the honor of buying the first round, Konrad.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: No need, I have the tab covered.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
XO: All right then. First round on me.

XO_Wells says:
CO/FCO/OPS: That's why I love this crew, so many willing to pick up a check.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Smiles.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::grins::

XO_Wells says:
All: I can't tell you how much your continued generosity saves me.
All: Let's order up, shall we?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: There are responsibilities to getting the "big ducks", as the humans say.
