Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11302.10, Captain Ayidee recording.  With our fairly lengthy layover underway we are taking the time to catch up on a few bits of business that sometimes don't get the attention deserved.  I've arranged for the crew to have exclusive use of a diner...or is it a club?  Whichever, but an area where we can gather and make something out of this.

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

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CO*:   Your request has been accepted, the "boxes” are on their way.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::Going over my report for the Vulcan Science Academy and then forwards it for publishing::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> CNS: I'm so glad you decided to join us. ::Smiles::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Standing in Doctor Talora's Starbase quarters, talking to the CMO and her MO, Doctor Williams:: 
CMO: Nice quarters.  
MO: Are yours nice too?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles lightly:: CNS: They aren't bad. I'll be more happy once we're back on the ship. It's more homey for me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Adm*: Thank you, Admiral.  Would you care to join us?  I've arranged exclusive use of the Laytefor Diner for use of this.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> CNS: Mine are very nice. I like them.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CNS: How are yours?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I agree.  I hardly had a chance to enjoy my quarters there.  
MO: Thanks for having me.  ::Looks over to CMO::  MO: I'm guessing this gathering was your idea.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: All senior staff, sorry to intrude, but your presence is required at the Laytefor Diner for a short time as early as you can get here.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CO*:  Thank you for asking, I would love to join you.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Mine are nice.  Starfleet personnel gave me an upgrade because I'm going to be working with them a lot this week.. You both should come see it.  Maybe have dinner with me there one night.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::nods excitedly:: CNS: How did you guess?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::gets the comm from the Captain; closes his console; and already in uniform, gets up and heads for the diner::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Hears the CO call:: All: Well...I guess that changes everything.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears the CO announcement/orders::  CMO: Is he serious?  Now?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: Casual dress is sufficient.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shrugs:: CNS: It's the Captain.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::talks to her ensign to have him finish the paperwork and let's her know where she will be::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::buckles up his best vest:: chopwI': You guard the fort, and by Kahless, behave yourself.  No re-arranging!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Frowns:: All: Well, that's certainly not fair. ::Puts her hands on her hips:: Now what am I supposed to do?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: A briefing meeting, in a diner.  That's highly irregular.  Is the Captain prone to these kind of idiosyncrasies?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
MO: Come with us.  Maybe we'll have time after for dancing or something.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Exits his quarters and looks for directions to the Laytefor Diner::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
MO: You know you can come along. ::Looks back:: CNS: The Captain is...the Captain. ::Shrugs::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::as he walks down the hall, I can not understand why we are having a casual briefing in a diner.  Not a suitable place to conduct business::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> All: I can? ::Smiles:: Oh goodie! We gonna go now?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::hears the comm, Dawn and Tehya look at her in understanding, in fact they volunteered to take her purchases home until she can pick them up.  She agrees and heads off to Laytefor Diner.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CNS/MO: We probably should...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO/MO: I'll follow you ladies.  ::Has no idea where anyplace is around here::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::leaving her office, she makes her way to the Diner::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stands up and straightens her outfit, making sure her knives are all still in place and walks over to the door:: CNS: Ready?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> CNS: I don't think I've ever been to this club before. ::Giggles:: It sounds like fun!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she finds the diner and enters.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::having never been there had to stop and get directions from the computer::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Yup.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Welcome, Commander. Hope I'm not interrupting your leave too much with this?

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Spots the Diner up ahead and makes his way inside::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Steps outside her quarters and waits::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Looks around for the Captain::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Quickly follows the CMO out::

ACTION:  The CMO as she is exiting her quarters, notices Alexandra, and as Alexandra catches her eye, she turns and goes back into her quarters.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Greetings, Cadet.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Well, I think Kevin might appreciate this moment as I am not spending any more of our money.  ::smiles::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::finds the place and enters and looks around for the captain::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
CO: Captain.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Frowns and remembers that Rhapsody had told her that this woman was just a few doors down from her:: Self: If she's in this section, doesn't that mean she's Cherokee crew...?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::sees the Klingon and the captain and Ms. Nash and walks over to join them::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Following the ladies down the corridor and taking in the sights as they go::  MO: Do Starbases come in any other color?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Blinks a few times:: CNS: You know, I have no idea. ::Thinks on it more as they walk::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Can't help but suppress a laugh::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: The place is ours for the next few hours, and the bar is open once we are done, which will be very shortly.

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Pulls up a chair and takes a seat::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walks to one of the tables and takes a seat::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Steps into a TL and takes the whole group down towards the main floor where the club is::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking down the promenade she is looking for the diner and spots it several stores down::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::takes out his PADD and begins reading, it tapping it every so often making notes to the journal he is reading::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: When you're on the station, are we still the medical crew for the Cherokee crew or do they see doctors on the station?  Because I have no appointments scheduled and I just wondered what you did with your Sickbay patients during station time.  ::Is talking too much::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Keeps walking, wondering why on our days off he's talking about work:: CNS: The station usually takes care of things that happen here. For counseling, I believe that you make that decision with your patients before shore leave. As for me, there's usually a skeleton crew in Sickbay that will do the continuous care.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CNS: Since they emptied the ship though, the station is taking care of everyone.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Exits Turbolift after the medical doctors, follows along, diligently::  CMO: That's just it.  I don't know who my patients are.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
MO: I think they're all avoiding me.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she heads over to the bar to get her favorite drink, unsweetened iced tea.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::sees part of the crew entering the diner, she follows and walks over to the Captain::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Smiles brightly:: CNS: Oh you will, Counselor. Just give it a little time. I'm sure they'll start flying right in and onto your couch.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I believe you have been waiting for these?  ::hands over 3 boxes::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Puts her hand to her forehead and just keeps walking::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks up as the Admiral walks in and wonders what this is about, Admirals don't take part in normal ships business.  Dismisses it and goes back to reading::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Greetings, Admiral.  Thank you.  We've taken control of this establishment so we have the place for our use.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
MO: I hope so.  My couch and I get lonely.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::takes a seat next to the Captain::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shakes her head and keeps walking::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> CNS: No worries, Counselor. If I ever need to see someone, I'll be sure to come to you. ::Says this with conviction in her voice::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Groans lightly and looks up to find the club they were looking for, relieved to finally get to a place with a drink handy::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
MO: Thanks, I'm really very good; you'll see.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Keller>  ::in the arboretum, and glad the Klingon finally left, now to concentrate on her::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Can't stand it anymore, walks a little faster and walks into the club and makes a beeline straight for the table.:: Self: This gets anymore cloying, I'll be sick.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Wonders where the heck this place is, been walking forever.  Looks up at sign over entrance::  Self: Oh, here it is.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after getting her drink, she finds an available seat so she can partake in the many conversations of her colleagues.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::places the PADD down and gives full attention to the captain::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Takes a seat and quickly tells a waiter what drink to get her:: Waiter: A double, if you can...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Enters establishment, sees the Captain with some Vulcan lady.  Knows he's bugging CMO.  Follows MO to a table ands sits quietly::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Practically skips over to the table with the CNS and sits down between the CMO and CNS::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Alright, it looks like everyone is here so we can begin, so if I can have your attention for just a short bit?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Starships tend to be very busy places, and loosing one's attention out there can be fatal.  Therefore, it is always better if we can take care of these events on station where others can keep watch.  So we will start here.  Lieutenant Salor, if you could please come forward?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::a little taken back, he stands up and goes forward to the Captain and Admiral::  CO: Sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Listening to the Captain::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::hands the CO a box::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Lieutenant, in recognition of your diligent performance of duty and maintaining such high standards, it is my pleasure to promote you to the rank of Full Lieutenant, effective as of this date.  ::Takes the box, then pins swaps the Pip on Salor's uniform.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: No, Lieutenant, thank you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Lieutenant Talora, if you could come forward next, please?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispering::  MO: Do you think they'll be serving cake after?  I haven't had any dessert yet.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::turns and walks back to his seat::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::as the CEO walks away, she hands the CO another box::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Looks up and slowly stands and moves over to the CO and Adm::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
MO: Oooo, she won one!  ::Claps for CMO::  Outloud:  Whooo hoooo!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Doctor Talora, or Lieutenant Talora if you prefer, in recognition for outstanding service since arriving, it is my pleasure to promote you to the rank of full lieutenant as of this date.  ::Hands her the Pip in the box.:: Congratulations, lieutenant.  And keep up the good work.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:

::Smiles:: Adm/CO: Thanks you very much. ::Very pleased with this turn of events::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Cadet Q'ten, if you could step forward please?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears Q'ten's name and looks up::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Looks up curiously to see what's next::

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Looks up in surprise and  slowly gets up and steps forward; bringing his right fist to his chest in a Klingon salute:: CO Sir!

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Smiles to herself, "How like his father"::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::watches the Klingon come forward and wonders if he can withhold celebrating Klingon style::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:

CTO_CDT_Q`ten says:
::Looks around at the Counselor and tries in vain to suppress a blush::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Waves at CTO::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CTO: A great accomplishment for a young Klingon. Well earned.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I think that went well.  May I say a few words?
