Ship's Log, Stardate 11610.09, Tio Ayidee recording.  The crew is enjoying their shore leave, taking advantage of the delay as essential components for our next mission are gathered.

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

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Can you tell me about the Pertel?  Anything I need to know about them?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sitting at the table in Emille's, watching the crew interaction.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::still waiting the jumbo mollusk dish... with a Vulcan poker face::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Well, they seem to be more concerned about their past, more than about their future.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  So there are no medical needs that you are aware of?

ACTION: The Wait staff starts to bring in the orders for the crew.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::running through her mental list of crew members that need their yearly medical exams::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Medically speaking, they are short, orange and amphibious, if that's even a word.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Making Klingon version of googily eyes at S'rel::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: They have their own doctors, and Starfleet has provided them with supplies.  Their settlement will need some work to get growing but for now they appear to be settling in well.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Were there any medical tapes or info from their records?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: They seemed healthy enough when we thawed them out.  Certainly in good shape for their age.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Most everything, besides the Pertel had long since deteriorated over time.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Do you think they would allow me to examine them?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I think we could talk one of them into it.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Any reason they would object to our examining them?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Were you able to get a read on their mental state?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I don't think we'll come into contact with them, to be honest.  The items to be investigated are being shipped here and then we take them to the research station.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I found them generally speaking to all be sound of body, mind and spirit.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Wow!  After all that time, I would expect a lot of disorientation.  ::frowns::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::enjoys listening the crew interacting::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Training may have helped.  They were largely serving in the Pertel version of Starfleet.  Discipline helps a lot.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
S'rel: You said before that you're from the chobet colony?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> CTO: Yes it's a fringe world in the Empire.  There is an Imperial shipyard there, and that's just about it.

CMO-McIntyre says:
.CO:  They were military?  And you have no concern about that?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: What are we to do, take them into custody for surviving?  There is some concern but at this point they are very limited in numbers and even more so in resources.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO: Do any of your crew, other that Captain Marek, have mental capabilities?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Telepathic?  A few crew members scattered about but not among the senior staff.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Would now be a good time for them to know that I am telepathic?  ::whispering to him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: As a Betazoid I think that would be pretty straight forward.  The extent can be made clear over time I think.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
S'rel: So what do people do for fun there?

CMO-McIntyre says:
::nods and drops the subject::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> CTO: We leave and go someplace else.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::if he were from another species he would be so impatient now about his order::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Waiter> ::Brings in the last of the orders.::  CIV: Sorry sir, the Vulcan vendor was a bit busy and took a bit longer than usual.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: You don't go around reading people's thoughts without them knowing about it, do you?  ::Would hate to have her know some of the thoughts he's been thinking about her::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::looks up at the waiter that serves her veggies and large fruit juice::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  No I do not, not without that person's permission, although, some peoples' thoughts are much louder than others.  ::grinning::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Waiter: ::raises an eyebrow:: It was about time... but I guess that you guaranteed that it was worthy the long awaiting time...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks worried::  CMO: Okaaaaay.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Wally you're thinking so loud that even I can hear you ::grins::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Don't worry Counselor, I am on my best behavior tonight.  ::smiling at him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Waiter> CIV: My apologies, sir.  We try to please, but sometimes it falls short.  ::Bows and backs away.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Is glad the waiter brought his dinner.  Thinking - Now all she'll read will be food related.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Waiter: ::nods:: Not a problem, it is totally understandable.... ::grabs a fork and begins tasting his food::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::takes a bite of her veggies and smiles::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts eating his pIpyuS::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I forgot you was even here.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  I still have the programs you made for Baby.  Would you like to join us sometime?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes about eating his dinner in silence, afraid to talk afraid to think::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> ::trying to eat her bregit lung with some civility, not being that familiar with a knife and fork::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: That would be nice.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Are you sure you still have the stamina for it?  ::grinning mischievously at him?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::the taste of the mollusk is like an warp core explosion of flavour inside his mouth, so he needs all his logical training to avoid succumbing to that moment of culinary pleasure::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I think I can manage.  Getting older but not over the hill yet.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks around the table at what some of the others are eating and nearly gags::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::hardily laughing out loud::  CO:  Baby will be glad to see it!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: So what have you been doing with yourself all these years?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Maybe you and chopwl; would like to join us when you have a free moment?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I got out of Star Fleet and opened my own medical and mental heath cliiniic.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: chopwI' is always up for an outting.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::eating with fruition::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Private practice?  How was that?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: So what made you come back? Not enough mental cases on the outside?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  It was wonderful for a time, but then I realized I was missing something  It took me a while to figure out what that was.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Settles back and takes a few bites of dinner.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: You won't find too many mental health concerns with the crew.  I keep everyone completely sane.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs his glass, takes a sip of tea, and keeps munching, staring at his plate::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  This may sound trite, but I missed being part of a crew and the unknown.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::nudges the CNS and whispers:: CNS: Not enough mental cases out there. They all are in Starfleet.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: That's true enough.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Starfleet life isn’t' for all, but for those who hear the call there is no going back.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Completely sane?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  amen to that... I had to wait a few months before I was accepted again.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  What?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: You might want to make an appointment with me.  We can discuss your exploration of humor.  That's not normal for a Vulcan.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: I was referring to Wally's boast that he keeps the crew "completely sane".

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I do.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: ::absorbed on his food:: Counsellor, my apologies, come again?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles and takes a drink of milk.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::grinning::  CTO:  Then my hat is off to him!  ::turning to the CNS and nods to him::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Stop by the office anytime.  We're having a special this month.  Two problems for the price of one.  ::Smiles::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  That's a deal!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: He had to fight management for that special.  I wanted him to make it buy one get one half off.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: I never met a Vulcan that liked to be funny.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::grinning at both the CNS and the CO::  CNS/CO: What a deal either way!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: How do you know he likes to be funny. Maybe he just can't help himself.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::continues eating her meal::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: :: cleans the corners of his mouth with a napkin:: Counsellor, I just find that humor is a good way to interact with members of other species who have it as a part of it social culture.... And I know I am not funny at all.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::chuckles at the CIV:: CNS: See what I mean?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: I can help you with that.  I'm just naturally funny.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: We had a Vulcan CEO for a while.  He had no sense of humor.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: I mean, it's not enough to say funny things.  You got to be able to recognize when something else is funny.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO/CNS: Oh, I see... you are making humor... ::raises an eyebrow:: I was trying to think on a funny comeback... but between my lack of humorous experience and my senses being a bit numb for this extremely tasteful food... i couldn't think of one...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Don't worry too much about it.  Humor is hard work to a lot of us.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV/CO: Yeah, you're in good company.  The Captain never gets it either, no offense, Sir.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Hang around me for any length of time, you will get the hang of it.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Gets what? ::takes another bite::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV/CO/CNS: It's not that humor is difficult.  What's difficult is figuring what is and is not humorous to others.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::almost chokes at the CIV's statement::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::takes a sip to clear her throat;:

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: See, stuff goes over your head.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CTO: It sounds logical.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the doctor almost choking:: CMO: Everything fine, doctor?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Bursts out laughing:: ALL: That could only come from a Vulcan!!!

CMO-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Yes, thank you, just swallowed the wrong way.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Did I said something funny? It would be a rare occasion.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: How does one swallow the wrong way? I thought there was only one way to swallow.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finishes his dinner, leaving some food still on the plate::  All: I'm stuffed.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Usually there is, unless you inhale at the same time.  ::grinning::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Don't Klingons have 4 esophaguses?  Esophagi?  What is the plural?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: It's not always WHAT you say that's funny, it can be HOW you say it, or WHEN you say it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO/CIV: Timing is everything.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I don't know, I've never looked.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: You want to finish my prime rib?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO/CNS: ;finishing his mollusk dish:: If you let me finish this in a minute, I would be able to think of logical answers to return your humorous remarks, in order to make it a conversation with a logical sequence.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: What I know about Klingon, or any one else’s anatomy, is what come spilling out when I've sliced them open in battle.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Nice imagery for the dinner table, dude.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: No thank you, it's too burnt for my taste.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: ::grins:: I aim to please.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I guess I'll have to take it home in an aluminum foil duck.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: aluminum foil duck?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: A doggy bag... wait... it might be a swan or a goose, some kind of foul.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finishes his beer and holds in the burp::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: So you want to take it home with you?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you for this supper.  I hope we get to do it again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Not a problem.  It was a pleasure.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Turns to S'rel:: S'rel: Would you care to go for a walk?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: My compliments for a good choice of food provider, Captain.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Maybe chopwl' would like it.  You can take it for her.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Burps:: CMO: Sorry, couldn't hold it in.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel>CTO:: A walk to where? ::grinning slightly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: It honestly just was suggested by a guide on a comm panel in the station museum.  Never tried this place before but it seems pretty good.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Better out than in!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Agreed.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
S'rel: Anyplace you like.
