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

Host Lowaferth says:
All: If we are finished here, Zerk needs his sleep.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nods:: Zerk: It's been a pleasure, ::salutes the Vulcan way.::

Host Lowaferth says:
All: Is there more in the hospital you wish to see?

Host Lowaferth says:
<Zerk> All: See what I have to deal with?  They treat me like I can't handle anything.  But it was a pleasure to meet you all.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Zerk:  It was a pleasure to meet you as well Sir!  Be well, and get well!  

Host Lowaferth says:
<Zerk> CEO: I feel well already.  It's just the doctors have a different meaning for "well".

Host Lowaferth says:
Zerk: Yes we do.  And it is for your own good.   But get your rest so it happens sooner.

Host Lowaferth says:
::Leads the group out of the room.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Zerk: Bye.  ::Follows Lowaferth out of the room::

Host Lowaferth says:
All: Is there anything else you wish to see in particular?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Lowaferth: We have seen education, services and work . How about some art or cultural expressions?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  How about some food, I'm starving, would some local cuisine fancy anyone?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Lowaferth: We don't need to see it but, do you have a psychiatric department?

Host Lowaferth says:
CIV: We can do that.  Art is the easiest expression to see.  Much harder to put together a bit of theater.

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: We can stop for some food along the way, certainly.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Lowaferth: ::raises an eyebrow:: indeed.

Host Lowaferth says:
CNS: Yes we do, and they are the least centralized of our departments.  They typically have a hand, or an opinion, on each of our patients and need to sign off on them when the patient is ready to be discharged.

Host Lowaferth says:
::Leads the group back downstairs.::  All: There is a restaurant just down at the corner.  Good food.  Well, good by our standards.  Can't guarantee for your tastes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  It will be an insight at any rate.

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: I like to see that.  Not so much from my patients with a tendency towards excess, but in moderation it is an excellent trait.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: Restaurant?  Nobody brave enough for hospital cafeteria food?

Host Lowaferth says:
CNS: We could do that also.  A bit more generic and bland by design, but perhaps a better "sampling" of our normal food.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  Well, eating is sometimes an activity that can be taken to excess, yes...but I'm just hungry, I haven't eaten in over 12 of our hours, and it would just be good to eat something.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Well, culinary treats are considered an important part of a culture.. we should explore that area... with a scientific method I mean  :smirks::

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: Oh, I understand that completely.  I meant the curiosity though, the willingness to try new things.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: Anywhere is fine.

Host Lowaferth says:
CNS: If you wanted to try the cafeteria food, we could get a little there and a little at the other place.  If you have room for that much food?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Lowaferth: We should let Commander Hull decide.  He is the hungriest.

Host Lowaferth says:
CNS: All right.  
CEO: Which will it be then, Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  Cafeteria is fine, that way we can taste multiple different foods!!!

Host Lowaferth says:
All: Very well, then let's go.  The elevator at the end of the hall will take us almost straight there.  ::Walks down to the elevator and leads the crew in.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Enters elevator::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the team into the elevator.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Into the elevator::

Host Lowaferth says:
::Hits the buttons and once it stops, leads the crew out and to the cafeteria.::

Host Lowaferth says:
All: There are several foods available.  I'll let the cafeteria staff know you have your choice and they will assist you if needed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Picks up a tray and utensils and gets in line::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::copies Commander Hull's actions::

INFO: There are three lines of food set up, each one the same as the other two.  There are multiple choices in each line.  Three foods, prepared in different ways, make up most of the choices.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Selects a few samples with no idea what they are but willing to try.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Grabs a tray and a fork and checks out the food selection::  Self:  What looks good?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::stares at the options:: Self: Maybe just a cup of what looks like a tea ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Walks through the line, picking up a plate and some sides and a drink, a sort of yellow-redish looking beverage::  Lowaferth:  Are you paying?

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: No, but the government is.  That is a bit out of my price range.  Almost.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  Our compliments to your government Sir!  ::Heads for the nearest table::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Finds something of interest,  He puts it on his tray hoping it is a dessert::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Lowaferth: Well , my gratefulness to your government.. ::grabs the cup that one employee gives him::

Host Lowaferth says:
All: If you have more questions, we can talk as you eat.  ::Grabs some food for himself, but a bit less varied in the choices.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Begins eating, hopefully the ship's medical team can reverse any intake of dangerous foodstuffs:: 

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::sips the beverage:: Self: Odd but nice taste…

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  This food is excellent, "hits the spot" as they say, so tell me, what are your observations of our group?  I'd be interested to know your thoughts.

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: I am still trying to understand how you work so well together, seeing how you are all so...not sure how to say it, different.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Takes a bite of the something on his plate hoping for the something to be sweet.  It isn't.  He eats it anyway, to be polite::

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: But it is encouraging, seeing how disciplined and professional you all are.  I am interested to learn more of your people.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  We are all from an organization called Star Fleet, and we have been very well trained over a period of 4 years, even before we are assigned to a starship.  We work as a team, in any activity, for the good of all aboard, following orders, even to the point of putting ourselves in mortal danger for the good of all.  We are all shipmates, and conduct ourselves accordingly.  

Host Lowaferth says:
CNS: That is one of our mainstay dishes.  A mix of the three plants that built our world.  Not the most tasty dish, but a wholesome one.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Thinking that he was more hungry than he thought, as everything tasted good, to his own palet::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Lowaferth: Yes, I feel healthier already.  ::Smiles::

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: I am sure that spending time together leads to more cohesiveness.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  Yes, it cements what we have been trained for, deep space exploration.

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: That is a new idea for us.  For so long the Chronoton barrier made such ideas impossible.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  So very true, but your situation has changed, we can be of great help to your world, and you ours.

Host Lowaferth says:
CEO: I hope so.  And look forward to seeing our people grow closer.  My people are a bit unaccustomed to new beings, but I hope this visit is a sign of things to come.  For both sides.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Lowaferth:  We call it "First Contact" and you are doing fantastic, everyone is - one would think that aliens drop by every day here on your world.
