Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11208.19, Captain Ayidee recording.  The Cherokee is about to take part in a ceremony to commemorate it's 5000 Light Year traveled.  As such, we are parked at the edge of the Betazed system, three million kilometers from the 5000 mark.  Shortly, we will have the ceremony.

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

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::standing in the lounge looking out the window:::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stands in the lounge watching.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Seven Forward Lounge.::  All: Are we ready to begin?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::in the Forward Lounge, feeling majorally uncomfortable in her dress uniform.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::standing by the computer monitor looking at the program he set up so all can see the USS Cherokee cross the 5000th lightyear of travel, a graph appears::
All: This will monitor our progress and show when we cross the threshold.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods:: CO: Ready.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Bridge*: We are ready here, Commence the 10 second Warp propulsion and accompanying show actions.

ACTION:  The Cherokee goes to warp.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Watches as the ship moves forward, feeling strange not being in Command Chair as we start.::

ACTION:  After 10 seconds a bottle of champagne breaks on the window in front of the crew as 5 bursts of 21 torpedoes each go forth.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Cherokee: Congratulations, old girl.  Let's see you get 5000 more!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Here, here!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles lightly:: Cherokee: Congrats.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::watches as the celebration takes place, not understanding the reason for such a event of reaching a number.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::gently rubs the bulkhead and whispers "Well done Cherokee”.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles at the major milestone::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, I believe a toast is in order.  ::watches as some of the crew pass out the wine::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Takes her glass and waits paitiently::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Admiral: Aye ma'am.
::Raises glass.::  All: To a great ship, with a great crew and a fine history leading her into a fine future!

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::gets handed a glass, looks at it, and just holds it::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::takes her glass of juice and waits for the Captain::
CO:  And may she fly for a long time!  ::takes a sip::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::raises her glass of unsweetened iced tea.::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::raisees his glass:: ALL: Qapla'!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles again:: All: Cheers. ::Takes a sip::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::raises his glass to not be rude and places it down on the table::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes a small drink.:: All: Enjoy, spend some time relaxing.  We don't get many events where we are put together like this with time to mingle.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  As you can see, there are all kinds of food present for each culture represented.  Please enjoy yourselves!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods and moves over to the window to look out.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  A moment of your time please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Certainly Admiral.  ::Sets glass on a table.::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Spies some Durang Du' LIr on the table and grabs a handfull::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Bring your drink with you.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::closes the monitor and stands back watching everyone, not sure what he needs to do to mingle::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
Self:  Mmmm... crunchy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Picks up drink and follows.::  Adm: We are leaving, Admiral?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::watching the cto and thinking “how barbaric”.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  When we get back to the base, your new orders will be waiting for you.  This seems like an easy assignment this time for a change.  ::grinning::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Very good Admiral.  We've had a few...troubling ones in the recent past.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I wish others that have served on the Cherokee could be here, but as you know. some are too far away to come.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Takes another sip and wonders about the future of the ship, of her career and the next mission.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CTO: A little more delicacy in your food handling would be appreciated.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Go, be with your crew and enjoy today.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Moments like this prompt you to think back.  It's been a long 9 years.  So many memories, so many lives we've passed.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::walking over the buffet table and she happily finds some grilled chicken, asparagus, and white rice with butter. After fixing her plate, she takes a seat and starts to enjoy her meal.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: You as well.  We at least only have to worry about the issues of one vessel.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CEO: Delicate?  It's food!  You pick it up and eat it.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CTO: To touch it?  How unsettling.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::turns aside at the conversation between the CTO and CEO, two totally opposite species in some of their thinking, then grins::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CEO:  You would rather I just stick my head in the bowl?  How are you supposed to eat it without touching it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks back towards the others.:: CEO: Klingon food, by it's nature, almost needs to be touched.  Otherwise...
CTO: Head in the bowl?  ::Laughs.::  I almost want to see that!

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CTO: It would not surprise me, cadet.
::looks at the Captain and refrains from commenting further, not wanting to create a scene with the Klingon.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks over to the buffet table and helps her self to the vegetables::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Still staring out into space (literally) smiling to herself and silently thanking her crewmates.::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Quietly turns away and makes his way to the CMO:: CMO: Are vulcans that uppity where you're from?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ CTO: Relax and try to enjoy.  It is an opportunity to learn more about each other's species, and each other.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Hears someone talking to her and turns to lean against the wall.:: CTO: You honestly think they'd change?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I do not need to learn anymore then I already know of Klingon behavoir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves on.::  OPS: It's hard to think, after all the time we've both been aboard, that the ship was already old before we got here, eh?

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Shrugs:: CMO:  Everything else is so different from your side of the looking glass, just thought Vulcans might be different too.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Too true.  Hard to believe.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shakes her head:: CTO: It's hard to believe I've been here as long as I have.  Things are very different over there. Some things not for the better, either.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CMO: Doctor.  ::nods to her::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CEO: Salor. ::Nods back::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks over to the CMO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Any issues with the ship we need to deal with?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  How are you doing in this time line?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::just stands there watching everyone, observing. Since he was ordered to stay::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Turns again to look at the Adm:: Adm: As well as to be expected. To be honest, sometimes I do miss it. I've been here in this line for quite a while now.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Not really, we just need to get our supplies sorted out and distributed to the proper departments.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  I understand it might be difficult to adjust, but you seem to be doing well.  Is there anything I can do to help?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Very good, let me know if you need anything.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Will do.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shakes her head:: Adm: I'm doing pretty well overall. My future I'm a little unsure of though...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  What do you see for your future?

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CMO/ADM:  Chief of Starfleet Medical.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
Adm: I really don't know where I'm going right now.  There's always advancement I suppose.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Enjoy the ceremony.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  You know I will.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  I can easily see that in your future Talora.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Raises an eyebrow very Vulcan like::
::Nods:: Adm: We'll see. I'm looking forward to it. ::Smiles lightly::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  I think I will sit down and eat my food before it gets cold.  Would you like to join me?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks back into the middle of the room.:: CEO: How are you getting along with the crew in Engineering, Lieutenant?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Tilts her head:: Adm: After you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks over to a table and sits down::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::can't get his eyes off the savagery of the Klingon eating habits::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Sits down at the same table::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Takes another sip of her drink and sets it on the table.:: Adm: What's it like being where you are?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::turns his head to the captain::  CO: The engineering staff is a capable crew, Captain. They perform their duties with ease.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  More headaches than you can possible imagine... especially when Starfleet and I disagree.  ::grinning::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Are you having difficulties dealing with any...personality quirks?

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
ADM: I can only imagine one head-ache at a time.  I mean I only have one head.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Suppresses a giggle:: Adm: I know all about that. Command was interesting where I'm from. We were all meant to be separated from each other, and only receive orders from the Vizier, but it never really worked out very well.  It became very complex when the war started anyways.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::raises his eyebrow::  CO: I do not understand the line of questioning. They follow my orders without question.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I know, but sometimes there are individuals, both after the same result, but who wish to achieve it through different means.  It is like that almost everywhere.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  In my opinion you have done a wonderful job adjusting to us.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: If you mean competition sir, I do not believe I have that problem. Everyone works towards the same goal, though somtimes there is 1 or 2 that do a dissatisfactoy job, but it is handled within the depoartment.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Inclines her head:: Adm: Well thank you. Heaven knows I've tried.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Why don't you join us?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  Sure.  ::grabs her tea.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: But almost all tasks can be completed in multiple ways, Lieutenant.  If it isn't an issue yet, then it soon will be.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS/CMO:  Just us girls!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Tries again to suppress a giggle::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Yes I understand that. But as long as the staff follows the logical course of whatever action that needs to be done, it will not be a problem.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::whispers to them both::  OPS/CMO:  We know without us, what would the men do?  ::chuckling::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ADM:  They would probably just walk in circles.  ::smiles::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Rolls her eyes:: OPS/Adm: Why do you think we're the communications, the medical and the Admiral? ::Smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Indeed, but logic often finds multiple paths.  But if you have it handled, then perhaps it isn't an issue.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::roars with laugher::  OPS/CMO:  Very good!

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO:  Captain.  I would not waste your time with trivial problems with my department. If there is something you need, it will be done.  And this ship will run at 100% peak performance.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Of course.  Any plans you wish to get started moving forward?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I have managed to cross breed various plant species that have been troubling me. I intend on writing a report to be sent back to Vulcan.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
OPS: Excuse me Commander, but with that little salute of ours, we're going to need all of our torpedoes replaced once more before we head out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I was meaning Engineering plans, but this intrigues me.  I didn't know you were a biologist?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO:  Cadet, I am positive they are already on the refill list and they will be delivered once we return to the Starbase.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: It was my major study at the Vulcan Science Academy.  I find engineering a way to, as you say, relax.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
Adm: I was wondering, did you have a chance to see my article on Temporal mechanics and Medical issues?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Yes I did!  They were quite good.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
Adm: Oh good. I'm glad. I don't think it's been published yet, but I did want to send out a few copies of it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: That is somewhat...illogical.  Typically, the physical sciences and the life sciences are vastly different mind sets.  But a well rounded mind is always an asset.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Not illogical captain, most vulcans pursue diffent aspects of sciences in one form or another.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I believe we have come back to the base.  I must leave, but the rest of you enjoy your time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Different takes on life, I suppose.  IDIC in action.
Adm: Thank you Admiral, it was an honor to have you aboard again.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO:  I see you have an understanding of that. I congratulate you Captain.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS/CMO:  It was nice to talk with you.  ::standing up::
CO:  Thank you Captain.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
Adm: You as well. ::Politely inclines her head::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles::
