Representative Finney's Journal: The crew of the Cherokee are now down on the surface with me, seeing what there is of the town.  We have just left the school and are going with the Sheriff to see another section.

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

ACTION: As the tour leaves the school, Miss Kreant's voice is heard trying, vainly, to quiet the children.

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
ALL:  It seems the children are not happy. ::turning to hear the uproar::

Host Rep_Finney says:
Sheriff: Not suprised, heck, even the sheriff gets to leave the office to visit today.  ::Grins.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the Twins, tagging along with the tour::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::following along, reading over the terraforming procedure going on on the surface::

Host Miss_Kreant says:
::Almost kicks open the door, yelling.::  Sheriff/ crew: I think today is a lost cause.  I'm going to cut our losses and hope they learn something from you all!  Please don't disappoint.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS:  We're on!

Host Rep_Finney says:
<Mill Worker>  ::Comes running up.::  All: Is there a doctor here?  They said you was from the ship and should have one.

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
Mill Worker:  Yes, right there ::pointing::

Host Rep_Finney says:
<CMO> Mill Worker: I can help, what's wrong?  ::Follows with the Mill Worker as he explains a small accident in a shop just off the street.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees Talora running off with some guy::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Following diligently along with the tour, thinking he should have packed a lunch::

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
CNS: Looks like you get toplay with the children after all.  ::seeing the children coming out the door at a run::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<TWINS>  ::in unison::  YAY!! We get to give out our presents!!!  ::they do their happy dance::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Sheriff: I think they'd rather play with the twins and their gifts.

Wally_Cleaver says:
::is very displeased::

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
::begins to smile as he watches the twins run to their boxes of goodies::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: Don't be a spoiled sport.  You're a star!

Wally_Cleaver says:
::runs out when he sees the Federation uniforms with excitement and a litle bit of shyness and fear.  Seems confused:: Self: Why are they here?

Host Rep_Finney says:
Sheriff: This going to come back to haunt you from Miss Kreant?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I can't compete with presents.  Besides, I was wondering where our doctor ran off to.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Liam>  ALL:  Here you go, I hope you like these presents that my sister and me brought. They had nothing to do it, just us.  ::grinning::

Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kids: Remember, this isn't just "run around and act crazy" time.  Try to learn something about what they do out there.  ::Crosses arms and taps foot as the kids move forward, some paying more attention than others.::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Liam: Way to grab the spotlight kid ::smiles::

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
Finney:  No, what can she do to me, keep me after class?  ::begins laughing::

Wally_Cleaver says:
::grabs a present and opens it::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Liam> CTO:  Yup.

Wally_Cleaver says:
Liam: Thank you. This is nice. I like the Treeboy.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Liam> Wally:  Take Oatmeal Girl, they go together.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Raises his arms in the air as he's overrun by the stampeding children::

Wally_Cleaver says:
::grabs another and opens it:: Self: Oh looks like a Oatmeal girl. Liam: Thank you.

Host Miss_Kreant says:
Sheriff: You aren't too big to use the blackboard, mister Arkley!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Liam> ::grins::  Wally:  You're welcome!  Enjoy!!

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
::grins::  Kreant:  Yes Ma'am!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she couldn't be more proud of her children than she is right now::

Host Linda says:
CTO:  Why do you have wrinkles on your forehead?  Does it hurt?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: The toys look like they're a big hit.

Wally_Cleaver says:
::sits down to go through the stuff in the boxes of presents.  Looks over at the CTO:: CTO: What do you do?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::looks up to everyone at the converstaion and looks back down at his PADD and continues reading::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Just like they hoped.  Look at them, they are so happy to be helping.  Looks like I have a couple of little humanitarians on my hands.

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
OPS:  I think you are right.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Speaks in hushed tones to the CEO::  CEO: It would be a good excersise for you to try and interact with the children, Mister Salor.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: You're twins having the makings of excellent Ambassadors.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
CNS: Very well.  ::closes the padd::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  They get that from their grandfather, my father.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::looks to all the chidlren and holdes up the Vulcan greeting::  Children: Live long and Proper little ones.

Host Linda says:
CEO:  Are your fingers stuck together?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees the CEO going into the fray of kids and thinks - That was easier than expected.  Admires Salor for his outstanding effort in his quest to understand non Vulcans::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: It is very commendable, Commander, Ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: No they are not, this is the greeting of my people.  ::bends down on one knee::  Let me me show you.

Host Rep_Finney says:
<Bill> Linda: No, he's an Elf, they can use their fingers really well!  ::Whispers.::  And they leave quarters when you loose a tooth.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Linda: No it does not hurt. I am a Klingon. Klingons have forehead ridges.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  They are my little miracles. And even the teenagers are loving the gifts from the twins.

Host Linda says:
:: looks at the Klingon then looks at the Vulcan::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: Let me see your hand.

Host Linda says:
::timidly she holds out her hand::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: Yes, I can see.  You might want to mass produce.  The toy market is high now.  I'm always looking for investment opportunities.  My accountants tell me I have to spend more.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::takes her hand and holds it up and places a finger between them and spreads them out::  Linda: Now hold it there, can you do that?

Wally_Cleaver says:
::walks over to Commander Nash:: OPS: What do you do?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  That is a topic for another time, let's just enjoy this moment.

Host Linda says:
::tries to keep her fingers apart, but it doesn't work::  CEO:  I am trying ::a glint of a tear welling up in her eye::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Wally: I am the Cherokees Chief tactical Officer. My job is to keep the Cherokee and her crew safe from bad guys.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::graps her hand and closes her fingers::  Linda: It is OK.  When I was young, I couldn’t do it either.  Practice and you can get it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes to check on CEO. Observes from a distance::

Host Linda says:
CEO:  Why is your skin green?  Are you sick?  ::looking concerned now::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Wally:  I'm in charge telling people where to sleep and where they can work, and make sure the ship gets the power to where it’s needed most.  My title is Head of Operations. And those two over there are my children.  They wanted to give you all gifts.

Host Linda says:
::takes the CEO's hand and begins to pat it::

Host Rep_Finney says:
<Ted> Bill: Elves don't give you quarters.  That's the tooth fairy.  And he's a Vulcan.  Mom's gotta cut back your story time a bit.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles and nods to CEO from a distance.  Pleased he is doing so well::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::looks at his skin::Linda: Nothing is wrong with my skin color.

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
Finney:  I think the Cherokee crew are a big hit.

Host Rep_Finney says:
Sheriff: Anything that gets them out of school would be a hit I think.  ::Smiles.::

Host Linda says:
CEO:  Did you eat too much candy?  We don't get candy too often, only on special occasions.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: I do not eat much candy. But perhaps I can get you some, enough for everyone.

Host Linda says:
CEO:  Can you really?  ::smiles up at the CEO with a bright look in her eyes::

Host Rep_Finney says:
<Bill> Walley: I bet she knows where they keep the people they Transports that don't make it!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: We should get up a game or something.  They certainly have the room for anything here.  ::Looks around::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda:  Yes. Let me return to our vessel and I shall.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra>  ::walks up to Miss Kreant::  Miss Kreant:  Thank you for letting the kids out to get our gifts we have for them.

Wally_Cleaver says:
::walks away sad::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Are the Replicators we sent down up and running yet?  We could Replicate a couple frisbees or a kickball or something.

Wally_Cleaver says:
Self: ::sigh:: Nice gifts they brought us...

Host Linda says:
CEO:  You promise you won't forget?  ::a little fear in her eyes::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: You'd have to ask Salor.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: I am Vulcan.  We do not forget.  ::Tries to smile at her::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: He's busy mingling.

Host Linda says:
Wally:  Have you met the nice Vulcie?  He is going to get us candy!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Thinking about Talora and wondering if she might need help::
Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kiandra: It is nothing, child.  They don't get much chance to interact with people from outside the world.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda/Wally: You may call me Salor.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: I can't get permission to join her, she was in charge and she's no longer here.

Host Sheriff-Arkley says:
CEO:  And you can call me Linda.  ::does a cute curtsey::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> Miss Kreant:  These are for you.  I hope you like them. ::hands her the gifts that was being handed out::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: Greetings Linda.

Wally_Cleaver says:
Sheriff-Arkley: No...but that sounds like fun ::wipes some tears away::

Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kiandra: Oh, how sweet.  What time does your class meet on the Cherokee?

Host Linda says:
Wally:  Wouldn't you like some candy?
Salor:  Do you live very far from here?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: Home for the moment is in orbit around your planet.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> Miss Kreant:  About 8:30, my daddy takes us there before he goes on duty.  Mommy is already on duty when it's time for school.  We get out at about 4:00.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Approaches the teacher::  Miss Kreant:  Excuse me, Ma'am.  I just wanted to apologise for disrupting your class earlier.  It wasn't my intension.  
Kiandra: Hi, kid.  Nice job with the gifts.

Host Linda says:
Salor:  In orbit?  Where is that?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> ::smiles at the CNS::
Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kiandra: What is your "ship's time" now, child?
CNS: I understand.  In your position I understand that getting to see the children is probably a nice perk.  And you were right, it is probably the best for them here.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: Like your moon. It travels around your planet in a path called an orbit, and my starship follows it's own orbit around your planet.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> Miss Kreant:  I think it’s about 1:00.  Mommy got us for this special event.  I'm going to write a report on my experiences in hopes of extra credit.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Miss Kreant: Well, thank you for your understanding.  I'll let you two finish talking.  
Kiandra: See ya, kid.  ::Walks away::

Host Linda says:
::looks up to where the moon will be later::  Salor:  Why can’t I see it?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: It is daylight out at the moment, and your star’s light over powers the light giving off from the moon and the ship.
Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kiandra: Does this kind of thing happen often when you come to a new world?  It must make it hard to lean.

Host Linda says:
Salor:  When it is dark, I can see your ship then?  ::begins to swing his hand in her little one::

Wally_Cleaver says:
Linda: Thank you for the candy.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> Miss Kreant:  This is the first time that we had done this.  Don't worry, our teacher will make sure we get our lessons in and Mommy will insist we complete all our missing school work and homework.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: Yes you can. If it is agreeable with your parents, I shall show it to you.

Host Linda says:
Salor:  Oh goodie!  Just you and me?

Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kiandra: Ah, that is good.  Learning requires you keep your focus.  Maybe I will get a chance to speak with your teacher before you go.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Stands back, folding his arms over his chest and watching the kids::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: Would the rest of your class wish to see my starship?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> Miss Kreant: I'll ask my teacher if you want.  I'm sure she'll say yes.

Host Linda says:
Salor:  I don't know ::said hesitantly::  If not, can it be just me?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees some of the kids, not engaged in conversation with the crew, kicking around an old soccer ball and goes to join them::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: If you wish.  But I may have one of my staff join us to help.

Host Miss_Kreant says:
<Bill> CEO: My mommy says I can look at the stars as long as my chores are done.  Oh, and homework.  She says that's after chores or I don't get desert.

Host Linda says:
::frowns a little bit when Bill talks to her Vulcie::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::stands up and looks to Bill:: 
All children: If your parents find it agreeable and you all finish your daily chores and school work, then meet me here at your school at 2200 hours.

Host Miss_Kreant says:
<Ted> Bill: I'll get mom to let us as long as you get your work done.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> Miss Kreant: Well, I'm going to go back to my brother.  Nice talking to you. ::smiles::

Wally_Cleaver says:
Self: Yay!

Host Miss_Kreant says:
Kiandra: Nice to meet you as well, little one.

Wally_Cleaver says:
CEO: I have already finished my chores and my mother and father said it would be ok to learn from the Starfleet officers. Can I hang out with you?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::The kids organize a just-for-fun game of soccer, using sticks for goal posts.  He is picked to play on one of the two teams::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Kiandra> ::grins some more and rejoins Liam::

Host Miss_Kreant says:
<Bill> Wally: You got all yours chores done?  When did you start?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Wally/ rest of children:  Have your treacher get permission from each of your parents and you all may join me. But no sooner.  ::looks to the teacher and nods to her::

Host Miss_Kreant says:
CEO: That would be very educational.  Your people's reputation as educators seems to be well earned.  ::Nods and smiles.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::The game is underway, taking place a short distance away, in a field near the school.  It looks like the playground to him::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CEO: Perhaps we could arrange a bit of a light show from the ship to make it easier to spot?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Kreant: If you will get parent’s permission, the children can acompany me to the terraforming station as I make my inspection of the equipment, then at 2200 we look for the Cherokee from here.

Host Linda says:
Salor:  Remember, you promised to get us candy and show me where you live!

Host Miss_Kreant says:
<Bill> Ted: You gotta help me chop the wood or I'm never gonna gets it all done!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes for the goal posts.  Kicks the soccer ball hard, but miscalculates and the ball goes spinning off into an undesired direction.  The ball sails through one of the windows of the school::  Self: Oooops.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
CTO: That will be excellent. Ensign.  Coordinate with Flight Control to make a pass over the colony during that time.

Host Miss_Kreant says:
CEO: I can do that easily, Mister Vulcan.  
::Turns and looks.::  All: Who kicked that ball?!

Wally_Cleaver says:
CEO: Ok.

Host Miss_Kreant says:
<Ted> Bill: We'll get it done, don't worry.

Wally_Cleaver says:
Bill: I will go check with my parents again.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Is embarrassed all the kids are pointing at him in answer to the teacher's inquiry::

Host Finney says:
Miss KReant: Don't worry, I'll handle it.  It's worth the output.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Linda: And you will tonight.

Host Linda says:
:;grins up at her new idol::
