Ship's Log, Stardate 11609.25, Captain Ayidee recording.  The ship is docked at Starbase 33 for a resupply and relaxation session.  Mission Orders will follow shortly but until then it's time to recharge our batteries and get back to normal fleet thinking after our time on Avril IV.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::In his quarters dressed in his best Sunday/Go to meeting vest, and chopwI's harness and leash on her::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Lying on his bed in his quarters wondering what to do with himself on shore leave::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walking on Deck 18, finishing last tour of the ship before leave begins.  Finds all is in proper order and seeing work already underway.  Turns and heads for Turbolift.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
chopwI': You have all day to clean yourself.  We have to go meet Wally, and figure out what to do with ourselves.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:in his quarters, getting ready for a nice R&R time::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Continues to lick herself::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
chopwI': I'm sure of all the ocelots on the Starbase you will be the most 'IH. Now let's go.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Computer: Log report, Ayidee, ship has passed final walkthrough before resupply, ready for upcoming work.  Proceed as ready.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after Kevin and the kids scatter off to enjoy this free time, Kyleigh prepares to go to the station's shopping district to do some window shopping.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps in Turbolift and requests Deck 6, Captain's Quarters.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::trying to decide between hearing a relaxing Vulcan Opera, do some meditating exercises or perform a logical Kohlinar test::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits Turbolift, walks to quarters and opens door and quickly steps inside.  Grabs a small bag and turns to head out onto the station.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Opens door to his quarters and motions for chopwI' to come along::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gets up, gets dressed in a clean uniform, brushes his teeth and combs his hair::  Self: I guess I'll go... somewhere and do... something.  ::Exits quarters::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Finally stands up and stretches sticking her rear end in the air::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Saunters towards the door indicating that she is ready to go::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Walking down the corridor:: *CTO*: What are you doing?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
chopwI': So glad you decided to join me.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CNS*: chopwI' and I are on our way to meet you.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts heading down the corridor, holding chopwI's leash::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: Great.  I'm going to be a glorified cat walker.  *CTO*: Okay, I'll wait for you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Gets back in Turbolift and rides it to the Station's so called "Museum District" with its collection of old Starfleet Technology designed to show youngsters what the Federation was built on.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sits on the carpeted floor, his back against the corridor wall::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
chopwI': Let's go get Wally.  wam!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after arriving in the shopping district, Kyleigh begins her window shopping journey.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Starts trotting down the corridor, tail straight up in the air::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives and just blends into one of the groups forming for a walking tour.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: finally decides to do something different and to give the Station Promenade a chance... stands up, tugs his uniform and exits his quarters::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::comes around the bend in the corridor and sees Wally sitting on the floor.  Goes into stalking mode::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees chopwl' coming but, doesn't move::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Comes up behind chopwI' and sees Wally:: chiopwI': mup!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Launches herself at Wally and jumps up into his lap::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Follows along, smiling at some of the oversimplified recorded Holo-projections explaining some of the technology and it's link to modern systems.  Actually used a few of these pieces early in career, can't bring himself to think of them as "outdated".::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Good thing for you she's only an ocelot and not something larger.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
chopwl': Aww, come on you old flea bag.  Gimmee a break.  This is a clean uniform.  I don't need no chopwl' hairs all over me.  ::Stands up pushing the ocelot off him::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::goes to the nearest airlock and walks into the station promenade::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Control your beast.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Continues to rub herself against his legs::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: She likes you! There's no accounting for taste.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Pats the big cat on the head:: chopwl': Yeah, I love you too.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: If she tastes me, you're in trouble.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
chopwI': mev.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Not as much trouble as you.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: So, I take it you want to go to the Arboretum to give her some exercise?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::walks towards what seems a quiet bar and sits on one of the tables outside the entrance::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hears a child excitedly telling their parent something, pointing to one of the plaques and then out the nearest view port.  The child is pointing at the Cherokee, and while the Universal Translator can't make out what he is saying at this range it is obviously along the lines of "It's the same ship!"::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Actually I discovered a boarding establishment we could leave her at. They actually have a holo-suite that would simulate her natural habitat.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Cool.  That's a good idea.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I thought I could leave her there while the two of us go see what kind of rabble we could rouse.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: That's a better idea.  It's that or go shopping with Commander Nash. ::Smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::She spots an outfit she has to have so she enters the shop and buys the outfit with several accessory pieces to compliment the outfit. She also spots a special outfit just suitable for her husband's viewing pleasure during that special quality time alone.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps a bit closer, torn a bit between pride in the ship and the child's excitement and wondering how the New Orleans Class is in such a museum.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::orders a hot Vulcan tea and enjoys the view of the multicolored mix of people walking around the promenade::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Shopping?  Is it just my imagination or do Human females have an unusual fascination with buying things?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Starts to make his way to the station::  CTO: I hate shopping and I don't think it's limited to just the human females.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after leaving the shop with her recent purchases, she heads for the Promenade to do some people watching for a while::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I have noticed that Human females will gather together in groups to 'go shopping'. Almost like males forming a hunting party.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: There are definite similarities.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I have also seen newsfeeds where these females can become quite fierce if there are not enough of a coveted item to go around.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Like chopwI’s reaction to a slab of beef.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Exactly!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees the child pressing against the glass to compare the ship to what's on the display.::  *Bridge*: Ayidee to Bridge, if you can please get clearance from Starbase to launch a Class 1 probe.  Tell them the Captain wants a system check on it, and set it to do a 100000 kilometer trip out and then return to Shuttlebay.  I'll explain later on that.  And make sure that flight patch is cleared with the station.  Ayidee out.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I would suggest we stay clear of shopping grounds as they may become hazardous.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Agreed.  Females like possessing things, especially males.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: However, if we find the right female, I wouldn't mind being owned.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well let’s go find some of those females that want to possess males.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Right behind you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Watches as the probe launches, producing a visible report that is obvious to anyone looking.  Sees the child stare in awe, then turn to yell to his parents the equivalent of "did you see that?"::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Perhaps enjoy a little be'joy.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::takes a sip from his tea, trying to logically deduce the background story behind some walking people::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: You get beaten.  I prefer a girl with a soft, gentle touch.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Grins:: CNS: It's still be'joy.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles::  CTO: Come on, let's go ditch the cat so we can start girl shopping.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks again among the exhibits and then heads off to find a nice restaurant.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: And we're off.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Where should we start the hunt?  A bar? The gym? Where?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after people watching for a but, she heads to the food area to get something to eat.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Finds a nice place that is big enough, reserves a room that can fit a large number of the crew for a nice sit-down dinner together tonight.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I don't know about you but a meal and a drink sound pretty good to me at the moment.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Always thinking about your stomach.  The only thing eating does before girl chasing is give you bad breath, which makes catching them harder.  Oh, come on but, we're going to have to brush your teeth afterwards.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Senior Staff*: This is the Captain, I've made reservations at one of the station's restaurants.  Emille's it is called.  You are all invited to a nice dinner tonight, 1800 hours ship's time which is...about seven hours.   It's not mandatory but hoping to see you all there.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: We could eat something 'minty'.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain. Formal uniforms?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::hears the message from the captain and makes a note to try to attend.::  *CO*: Sounds good.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Fine, we'll order you a rack of lamb, extra mint jelly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: Very casual, just a get together so we can all get to know the new crew better.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Count me in, Captain.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Don't eat too much.  He says it's not mandatory but, I'm not going to be the one who doesn't show up.  We'll have to turn the girl hunt into a little afternoon delight.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she has the perfect outfit for the upcoming dinner.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Fine a little snack to hold us over then.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I can see where your priorities lie.  Food first, girls later.  I'd just as soon forget the six course snack and get on with it.  I'll nurse a glass of water while you consume dead animal flesh.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well one does have to keep up their strength.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles, knowing the Klingon would say something like that::
