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

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Meets up with the others having been exploring the campus a bit::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::At Starfleet Academy, keeping relaxed until the Chancellor's speech.::  All: It's strange, didn't really enjoy my time here but this is good to be back here.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the others::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Being here is like putting on a comfortable pair of shoes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That is good.  The place has had a huge effect in this part of the galaxy.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
EO/OPS: So good you could join us.  We were just discussing our vacations.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: Let me guess.  Yours involved shopping.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Many great men and women walked down these ways .. that is what makes this place so glorious.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
EO:  I did shop some but then I just plain relaxed for the reminder of shore leave.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CNS/OPS: Yes, I just wandered about the campus mostly.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
EO/OPS: Well, I hope you both managed to have some fun.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Not sure if you got the orders yet, but your assignment to the Cherokee came through.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CO: Awesome, I look forward to serving with you all.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
EO: Well, welcome to the Cherokee.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CNS: Thank you, sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the rest of the group::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: the Chancellor's speech starts in about an hour.  Should we start heading over?

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CO: Sounds good to me sir.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO/All: I guess we should.  We want to get good seats.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: A good idea, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands up.:: CNS: I think that won't be a problem.  Given our next mission to scout the Uruk, I was able to reserve us a block of seats.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Good thinking, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::nods in agreement::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Waits for the others to head to the speech and follows when they move::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks to the Transportation complex.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Follows behind the captains and commanders::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Makes his way into the transporter room along with the others::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Following the group::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We should getting a good view, maybe get some idea of what Mosley really is about.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  Aye Captain!  The moment we have been waiting for; finally!

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
CO: Agreed sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps inside a Transporter room.::  Tech: Six to transport to Federation Council Building, observation level.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Does a tunic tuck just before beaming.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Steps onto the transporter pad.::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Is transported to the requested location.  Following behind the others as they exit::

ACTION: the crew is transported to the Federation Council, Observation level.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We're in section 8.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes and takes a look around::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All: Welcome to Paris everyone!  ::looks around for entry point to section 8::

ACTION: The halls are filled with people walking about their way preparing for the next section.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
;;rematerializes on the transporter pad, tugs his uniform shirt and steps off the pad::

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Follows the group to their designated seating::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks ahead to Section 8.:: All: Besides the lack of Starfleet uniforms, not all that different from the corridors of the Cherokee in here.

EO_Ens_Sanosuke says:
::Tugs at his tunic before taking his seat::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  It is obvious that the architects for this building were the same for the interiors of most Starfleet ships ::grins::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Yes, a bit of a lack of effort, following a pre established pattern...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I was referring to how the people move about, but yes, the "decor" is very similar.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Ah!  Sorry Sir, I took the other context...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Making observations is part of our job, Chief.  No reason to apologize.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  ::Nods::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looks over the railing to the Counsel floor.::  All: Now down there they are a bit less Starfleet.  A bit more of a diplomatic vibe to be certain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Anyone ever watch one of these before?  Live at least?  I've seen a few edited portions but never took the time to watch one live...is that bad?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Arriving in Section 8, he waits for the others to choose their seats.  Looks over the railing to see what the CO saw::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: If we weren't involved this would most likely be a snooze-fest.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  No Sir!  I've not watched a live broadcast either, happy with the summary - edited version

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I guess so.  but so much has happened here.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: I had to study diplomacy in my academy days, it was hard staying awake in that class.

ACTION: Chancellor Mosley steps on the stage and walks up to the podium.  He starts going over some things with the technical people.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Sees the Chancellor:: ALL: Ah ha, there's the star of our show.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::is anxious to see what the Chancellor has to say.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not sure if star is the right term, but the reason we are here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Leans forward, as if that would help in seeing the subject of the exercise::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::accommodates his body on the chair:: Self: ::mumbles::: Bit of spartan and not so comfortable chair...

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Part of Mosley's pitch will be like acting in a show.  He has lines and must deliver them accordingly.  They call it politics but this is show business.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CNS:  The only diplomacy I studied was Phaser Emitter Physics.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Watchers as Mosley's staff arrives and takes seats to the back of the stage.:: CEO: You run a department on a Starship.  Diplomacy is part of the job, whether you studied it or not.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CEO: Sounds fascinating.  ::Said sarcastically::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Speaker> ::Steps up, speaks with Mosley and then turns to the Counsel.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the CO:: CO/CEO: Is not a phaser shot over the bow the universal salute? ::puts a poker face::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Takes a seat as the show is about to begin::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/CIV:  ::Grins::  

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Speaker> Counsel: Representatives, we are getting ready to begin.  Chancellor Mosley of the New Rome colony wishes to speak about the situation on his world and his thoughts on how to increase stability.  If everyone would take their seats, we can begin.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sits down to watch the speech.::  All: Now let's see what he has to say.  Guessing it will be...interesting.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Looking at the assembled audience throughout the Council Chambers::

Host Chan_Mosley says:
::Steps up to the podium and looks about.  Pulls out a PADD and sets it on the podium in front of him.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Focuses his attention now on Chancellor Mosley, and what he about to say to the Federation Council::
