Ship's Log, Stardate 12008.02, Captain Ayidee recording.  The ship is now headed to Earth to take Chancellor Mosley.  Our first order of business on the trip is the traditional reception for our guest.

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

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Dressed in dress uniform Wally is in Seven-Forward making last minute preparations before the reception::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::in his quarters, struggling with the dress uniform::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In quarters, checking status of the ship before heading to the reception.::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Is in his quarters putting on his dress uniform before joining the others at the reception.
::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Having never visited his quarters since being aboard the ship, he opens his luggage and digs through trying to get to his dress uniform.  Hoping it still fits, he hurriedly puts it on, his dress uniform boots and combs his hair, brushes his teeth, and off he goes to 7 Forward Lounge where the Chancellor and his party will be received::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::dressed in her dress uniform, she begins her journey to the reception for the newest Guest::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits quarters and heads for Deck 7.::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Exits his quarters after getting dressed and heads to the TL to get to the Deck 7::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Once on the proper deck he exits the Turbolift and heads into the reception area.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters 7 Forward.::  CNS: Looking good, Counselor.  Is there anything I can do to help?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Knowing no one would be too hungry, light hors d oeuvres will be served as well as cocktails.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::the collar ends won't meet:: Self: I so hate dress uniforms... ::realizes about his words::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: No, Sir, I think we're all set.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::fearing that the button will pop out like a missile, heads out of his quarters and goes towards the nearest Turbolift::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Got an update from Starfleet, while they do want us to remain in orbit during the Chancellor’s visit, they are going to allow us to see what we can do with the "Uruk issue".

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the Turbolift and directs it to Deck 7::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Standing off to the side he looks about noting who is where.  Makes his way to the bar and orders some tea::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Well, that's good news.  Do you think we'll have even just a little off time?  I'd like to visit home while here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Enters 7 Forward, and stands in the doorway as the doors swoosh close behind him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Unless you used up a large backlog of leave time, I'm sure that can be arranged.  Meetings with heads of state are seldom over quickly.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::exits the Turbolift and heads to the lounge::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Since he doesn’t really know anyone yet, he wanders about the room listening to the various conversations. Occasionally having a sip of his tea::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: That's good.  I just want to see if my villa is still standing.  ::Pauses a second or two::  I wonder how fashionably late the Chancellor will be?  ::Smiles::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
EO: Hello, Ensign.  Welcome.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
::Arrives at the Lounge with a Tactical Officer.::  All: Greetings, my friends.  I hope I'm on time?

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Looks about for a second to see who spoke to him.  With a smile and small bow he goes over to the CNS::  CNS: Thank you, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Standing at the 7 Forward door::  Chan:  Sir!  Welcome to 7 Forward ::Shakes the Chancellor's hand::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Chan: Chancellor, just on time.  Have you and your staff settled in?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Surprised to see the Chancellor::  Mosley: Right on time.  Just like we'd expect from a former Starfleet officer.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::turns his head towards the Chancellor::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Notices everyone's focus shifts to the door so he looks as well::

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CO:Well settled, Captain. Thank you.
::Takes the CEO's hand.::  CEO: Thank you, Commander.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: Will Minister Gre'jeck and your aides be joining us, Chancellor?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::approaches the welcoming party, and salutes the Chancellor:: Chancellor : Live long and prosper, Chancellor Mosley.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
All: A fine ship you have here.  A bit different in design from the Madrid, but still brings back memories.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: He was with me but forgot his cuff links.  He is a bit superstitious in that regard, I'm afraid.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: I see.  Well, we can't have his cuffs unlinked now, can we?  ::Smiles::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Continues to drink his tea as he moves about the room::

Host Chan_Mosley says:
<Gre'jeck> ::Comes rushing in.::  All: Apologies, almost forgot the bling.  ::Holds up his cuff links and smiles.::

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CIV: Peace and long live, Captain.  ::Gives the Vulcan salute back.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Backs away from the Chancellor's Party, looks about the room, makes his way to the bar for a synthol beverage::

Host Chan_Mosley says:
::Steps inside with Gre'jeck and the aides.::  All: How long have you all served together here?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Chancellor: ::nods::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Spots the CEO by the bar and decides to introduce himself.:: CEO: Greetings sir. I am the new engineering officer.  Pleasure to meet you.  ::He extends his freehand to shake::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Grabs his drink and turns to the EO::  Ah!  Mr Sanosuke!  Welcome aboard, it is good to have you with us!

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Smiles softly with a light bow.:: CEO: Thank you sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO: My full name is Isaac Hull ::takes a swig from his scotch glass:: 

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  I see that you met our Ship's Counselor, Lt Daniels - good shipmate!

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CEO: Sanosuke Mikage at your service sir. ::He smiles softly once more::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she walks around, observing the group.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: I joined the Cherokee fresh out of the academy eight years ago.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
<Gre'jeck> ::Goes to the bar and orders an Andorian Ale.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  As soon as the required honors are given to our guests ::points over at the Chancellor and his party::  We'll get you introduced to Engineering Dept of the Cherokee and the M/ARA core.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: First post?  Nice to hear.  Always good to find a place you can settle in, makes the career easier to deal with.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Nods as he listens, taking a small sip of his tea:: CEO: Sounds good sir.  How are you doing?  Been a while since I’ve had to put this uniform on.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
All: I've had a chance t review your ship's record, and a brief run down of your own records.  Impressive record for a Frigate, she and you all are an impressive lot.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  I had doubts that it would fit, I've not worn this in a couple of years at least ::smiles:: But it does for some strange reason, but I've been on the go since arriving onboard not a few months ago, and I've not seen the interior of my quarters till just a half-hour ago...its remarkable that I've not slept in my own bed since!!  Starfleet Life I wonder! 

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Grins and nods in agreement:: CEO:  Yep! It took a me a few minutes to locate my quarters.  I hope Starfleet assigns me to this ship.  Everyone seems friendly here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  It is a good crew, excellent senior staff, Captain is first-rate, you could do much worse if assigned somewhere else.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
All: The trip is supposed to take a week to get to Earth, right?  Is there anything you or your crews are working on that might be of interest?  It's been a while since I've seen a crew at work, would be good to reminisce.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Chan: There are several projects going on.  I can forward you a list of them.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Maybe we can arrange you a tour around the ship, Chancellor.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CEO: Yes, I met everyone briefly before we headed down to the planet.  I am working on familiarizing myself with the ships systems.  What class is the warp drive?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: You should ask our engineers.  ::Points out CEO and EO:: There's always something going on in engineering.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
All: Excellent.  Of course if anyone is interested in speaking politics, I'd be happy to speak with anyone.  Always eager to widen people's political views.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  It is a Class-6, Top speed is 9.98 for short durations, cruising speed is Warp 6.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Nods as he listens intently:: CEO: Standard deflector dish?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: Before you were a Captain, what position did you hold?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  It is the same shield as the Springfield-class, according to the specs, surprisingly not much has changed for that.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: I started as a Science Officer, Exo-biology.  Over the years I tried my hand at Flight Control and Tactical, but tended to swing back to Science .

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Nods:: CEO: Ill have to do some reading on the ship's specs when I have some down time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  The deflector shields are made up of seven symmetrical subspace graviton generators.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: And Biology has led me to my political thoughts.  Single cell organisms are amazing when one thinks about it, but when they come to work together, it gets...impossibly special.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: We each have our roles to play, and the better we play them the better society runs.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: I'll buy that.  ::Smiles:: Can I get you a drink, Chancellor?

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: Please, Counselor.  Any suggestions?  I love my world, but it's been some time since I've had access to a fully stocked starship bar.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CEO: I look forward to working with you as I learn the ins and outs of this ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  I'll send you the specs of the ship, it will help us have commonality as we introduce you to the technology of the ship.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CEO: I would appreciate that.  ::Takes a sip of his tea which finished off the small cup::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: How about an Aldorian Ale?  It's not as strong as the beer I had with dinner but, it has a pleasant flavor.

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: Delightful.  Don't think I've ever tried that drink.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Mosley: Coming right up.  CO: Sir, can I get you anything?

Host Chan_Mosley says:
CNS: Gre'jeck is..::looks over and sees Gre'jeck.::  Make that was dying for an Andorian Ale.  Just can't make it without the cold.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: No, thank you.  I am good for now.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Goes to the bar::  Bartender: Two Aldorian Ale's please.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
EO:  Do you need a refresh of your drink ::nods in the direction of the bar::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CEO: No, I am fine.  Thank you though.
