Ship's Log, Stardate 11610.23, Captain Ayidee recording.  With our orders having arrived but the cargo we are to carry not yet arrived we have left our crew on leave.  After our dinner party I am hoping the crew will find the time to do whatever they wish before we have to leave Starbase.

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

CMO-McIntyre says:
::after leaving the restaurant, she decides to see what there is to see of Star Base 33::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exiting Emile's after settling up the bill, taking a walk into the crowds.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::lots of interesting shops here::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts to escort S'rel out of the restaurant::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::after leaving the restaurant, he decides to return to the Cherokee, a slow walk, with some regrets of having indulge himself with such a heavy meal::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::sees a dress shop and decides to take a look at the fashions::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::After finishing dinner at the restaurant, Kyleigh decides to go to the pet shelter to adopt a kitten for her children.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> CTO: Perhaps we should go check on chopwI'.?

CMO-McIntyre says:
::sees a silky looking ankle length dress and decides to purchase it, taking out her credits to pay for it::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Isn't sure where to go or what to do.  Go to the bar for another drink?  No, he's had enough.  Workout?  No, he'd loose his dinner.  Wanders out onto the station, aimlessly::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
S'rel: I'm sure he's fine. Probably having the time of his life.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> CTO: But your crewmate was interested in adopting a feline. I could show her who we have available.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walking out and through the crowds, headed towards nothing in particular.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
S'rel: Very well, if that's where you want to go.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::taking her purchase, she leaves the store  and looks up and see Q'Ten::  
Q'Ten:  Any chance to see chopwl’?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: In fact we were just going to check on him if you'd like to join us.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives at the airlock and boards the Cherokee::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Decides to go to the entertainment district on an upper level to see if there's a good show or something to see::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  That would be wonderful!  If your lady friend doesn't mind?  ::looking at her::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: We might even find a young feline for Commander Nash.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> CMO: By all means. Join us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees a small crowd gathering around a small, makeshift stage where a small band is gathering.  Finds a seat and settles down to see if the show is of any interest.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is taking her time heading to the pet shelter.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
S'rel:  Thank you.  It will be nice to see one of Baby's offspring.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::decides to rest for a bit at his quarters, then take a stroll around the ship, to get familiar with it::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Upon reaching the entertainment district, he checks the public events console to see what's available in the area::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> CMO: If you have time before your ship leaves on its next mission, perhaps your Baby would enjoy an afternoon with us?

CMO-McIntyre says:
S'rel:  She might, if we have the time.  I am glad she will have a companion on the Cherokee.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: But is the Cherokee ready for the onslaught of Baby AND chopwI'?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Listens as the band starts playing a type of unfamiliar music, but one with an interesting sound.  Pulls out a PADD and tries to identify it without attracting too much attention.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  They better be!  ::laughing::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finds a new holo-novel he's been dying to see is playing and there's a showing starting in about twenty minutes and so, he heads for the theater::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::sits on his bed, and feels the urge to take a nap::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  When Baby was a kitten, he wrote a couple of hunting programs for her.  I bet chowpl' would like them.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Is this the place?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Finds it is a newer style of music originating in the Bajoran System, one that has been gathering a growing following amongst crews that have visited lately.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she gets in the view of the shelter, thinking that the real reason for the kitten that it is really for her, but the children will also benefit from it.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: Yes , chopwI's own little slice of QI'tu.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  After you then, I will follow you.  ::smiles::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> :: enters the code to de-activate the lock and open the doors::  ALL: Welcome.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she sees everyone else there as she approaches the door.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::When he gets to the theater entrance, he discovers that others must have been dying to see the show too, many others.  Sighs and takes his position at the end of a fairly long line to the ticket booth::

CMO-McIntyre says:
OPS:   Hi there!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CMO: Hi!

CMO-McIntyre says:
OPS:  It looks like the supper party has moved here.  ::grins::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
OPS: Commander Nash! Just in time.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CMO:  So it seems.

CMO-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Are you windowing shopping or wanting a pet?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO: Great! Now lead me to the kittens. ::smiles as she gets more anxious::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CMO:  A new pet of course.  I'm also open to maybe getting a couple new additions. Kittens need companions too.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::his mind rambles ... making him have some strange dreams.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Is relieved when someone falls into line after him, hating to be the last in line.  He looks to see who has joined the progression and thinks, "Hey, she's pretty hot".  He smiles at the girl and then forces his eyes to look forward, not wanting to stare and be creepy::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> OPS: At the moment we have a dozen kittens ranging in ages from 4 to 9 months.  ::She pushes a few buttons and activates a view screen divided up into smaller squares, each square has the holo-image of one of the kittens allowing everyone to see all of the kittens that are up for adoption::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Where's chopwl'?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel:  Any orange tabby kittens available?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hot Girl>: CNS: You think we'll get in?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Hot Girl: Excuse me?  ::Like he didn't hear her the first time::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel>  ::Points to one of the holo images of a tiny orange tabby striped explosion of fur:: OPS: This is puyjaq, our youngest.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hot Girl>: CNS: The line, it's pretty long.  Do you think they'll be seats for those of us in back of the line?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  How adorable is that one. A great possibility.  Does this one have any siblings available?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::As the impromptu concert shows signs that it will go on for a long time decides to move on.  Drops a few credits in the bands donation box before moving on.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> OPS: puyjaq has four siblings, two male and two female, however they have all been adopted already.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel: Okay, no problem.  Now any more in that age range?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Hot Girl: I think we have a pretty good shot at it.  ::Wonders how long before this girl's boyfriend shows up and wants to punch him in the face for talking to "his" girl::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel>:: Adjusts the controls and a holo image of a long haired Siamese kitten comes up:: OPS: This is Rama. She is 17 weeks old.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel: She's pretty but not my style.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Moves over to the holo-suites:: CMO: I think she's in this one.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks along amongst the crowds again before taking a seat overlooking the civilian vessel repair bay.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::follows the CTO, really waiting to see chopwl'::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hot Girl>::Inches forward, now standing at Wally's side:: CNS: I usually don't go to holo-theaters alone but, I really wanted to see this one.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> ::brings up another image of a solid black kitten that seems to be performing acrobatics:: OPS: This is veqlar. He is a rascal.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::wakes up and decides to take a sonic shower::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Punches a code and opens the door to the holo-suite and steps into a Columbian jungle::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel: A possibility as well. Show me one more, maybe in a long hair variety?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears she's alone and gets a tingly feeling all over.  Does a good job at containing his excitement::  Hot Girl: I'm Wally.  What's your name?  ::Can't continue to call her Hot Girl in his head::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::follows Q'ten into the suite::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Realizes the repair bay is in a very slow time, stands up and walks on again.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::drops down to her knees to wait for chopwl' to make an appearance::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Ariella>: CNS: The name is Ariella.  I work in a shop here on the station.  What do you do?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees a crowd of familiar faces at a pet establishment.  Walks over to see what they are up to.::  All: Long time no see, enjoying your time off?

CMO-McIntyre says:
::waves as she sees Tio come to their shop::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Hey Captain! I'm looking into getting a couple or three new members to the family.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Moves ahead in the line one step:: Ariella: That's a pretty name.  I work on a Starship, I'm on leave right now.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Where is she hiding?  ::looking up at him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Three?  Might have to see your staff about larger quarters...

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::puts on a clean duty uniform and exits his quarters, heading for main engineering::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: The new additions are small and will find their own places to rule the household.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Calls out:: chopwI' ghoS.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Ariella>: CNS: A Starship?  That's impressive.  What do you do on the starship?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Suddenly chopwI' jumps from a tree to land on Q'ten's shoulder and rubs her face against his::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ariella: I'm the Cherokee's... oh, that's my ship, the Cherokee.  Well, not my ship but...  I'm the ship's counselor.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::begins grinning::  CTO:  Baby loves to do the same thing!  She is gorgeous!

CMO-McIntyre says:
::waits for chopwl' to approach her::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> ::enlarges another screen to bring up a long haired gray Persian kitten:: OPS: This is her Majesty she's six months old.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::chopwI' stretches around the back of Q'ten's shoulders to sniff at the CMO::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Ariella>: CNS: A doctor, huh?  ::Thinks - Mother always said, "marry a doctor"::  CNS: That's interesting.  Tell me more.  ::Links her arm with his::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::a big grin appears on her face.::  S'rel: She's beautiful.  She is a definite choice. as well as the other two orange tabby and the black one. And there is a chance the names could be changed thanks to my children.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::makes a small purring sound in her throat for chopwl'::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> ::Brings up another kitten. This one is a slender silky furred tuxedo kitten:: OPS: This one was named Gary Cooper and he is also about six months old.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ariella: Not much to tell.  A lot of what I do is classified.  ::Figures that's a good way to get out of talking about work::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::enters engineering, nods at the duty crew, and walks around ... making everyone nervous at his impromptu stroll around the room::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::chopwI' inches further over on Q'ten's shoulder to reach out to the CMO::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::stretches her hand up let chopwl' smell her fingers::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel: Cooper is gorgeous but I think I reached my limit of 3 . puyjaq, veglar, and her Majesty are my choices for adoption.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: I don't know that she remembers you but she does like you.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I have learned with all animals. let them come to you on their own time, not yours!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Ariella>::Takes a few steps alongside the counselor imagining she's walking down the aisle at her wedding::  CNS: You're kind of cute.  Maybe we should spend some time together this evening, get to know each other better.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In his mind he imagines pulling the handle of a slot-machine and hitting the jackpot.  He smiles at her:: Ariella: We could do that.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> OPS: majqa', I just need to get the paperwork in order...:: she reaches behind the reception desk and pulls out a PADD:: Will you be taking them with you, or would you like them delivered?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel:  Delivered would be a great idea. I think I should be on the ship when they arrive to avoid any extra questions.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::chopwI' reaches a paw into the air as if trying to step over to the CMO::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Ariella>: CNS: Tell you what.  You buy the tickets, Starfleet.  I'll get the popcorn.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::stops for a while on a secondary control panel, and observes the data displayed on the screen::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  ::standing up::  You need to bring her to my quarters later when time allows.  Momma and daughter need to meet again.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ariella: Deal.  ::He reaches the ticket seller's booth and purchases two tickets.;;

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> OPS: As you wish. I'll have them delivered at your convenience.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: That can be arranged.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
S'rel: Make it in a couple hours, I should be back on the Cherokee by then.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::moves forward and stares for a while the warp core, then leaves engineering, at a nerve wracking slow pace::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<S'rel> OPS: Very well, and it has been a great honor to meet you. Thank you so much.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles with pride as she just gave homes to 3 adorable kittens::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Taking Ariella's hand he leads her into the theater.  Wondering what he'll order her tomorrow for breakfast::
