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

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::On Betazed, trying to find a small shop Trelala often visited while stationed here, but it doesn’t' appear to be open anymore.  Walks into an antique store to look around.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Back on the beach for day two of shore leave at the beach.  He is reading his book and drinking a root beer::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Grabs an umbrella from the stand nearby provided by the hotel, otherwise, Isaac will be needing to go to sick call with sunburned skin, stabs the umbrella pole into the sand, opens it, and adjusts it to his chaise lounge chair is in shade::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Fred>: Lying on the beach blanket next to CO::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@::finishing his daily meditation exercise , and notices a work bee pod passing by on the observation window::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Looking at some of the tapestries, finds a couple that might fit well.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::L'Vor taking direction from Commander Hull, he also grabs an umbrella and takes to shade, continuing his Vulcan meditation::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::In the ocean splashing about (only as deep as his waist)::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@::goes to the replicator:: Replicator: Tea. Vulcan. Hot... well not hot, warm.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@::grabs the tea and decides to take a stroll just to check how the refit and repair process is going while drinking his tea::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Still wandering about, looking at a few throw rugs of a very soft style.  Apparently for a brief period they were the rage for sitting on without furniture, but they still do wonderful for comfortable walking.  Has the clerk put her down for the purple one along with the 2 tapestries.::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@::walks out of his quarters, takes a sip, then heads to the Turbolift::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@::enters the Turbolift and heads it to the Bridge:: Self: Uhm.. this tea is a bit off... I guess I should ask the repairing crew to take a look at the replicators systems…

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Buys two hot dogs and another root beer from one of the vendors selling food and drink from their hovering carts floating above the sand::  Vendor: Thank you.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Walking to the storage units when something catches her eye.::  Self: Yes, that does look like one of those.  But how in the Caves would it get here?  ::Stops and looks at it closer, even pulling out a Tricorder.::  This shouldn't be here, it can't be real...

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Clerk: Excuse me, where did this come from?  Do you know what it is?

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@::arrives to the Bridge and notices a couple of technicians working on the science console:: Technicians: Gentlemen...

Host SMSteve says:
<Beach Vendor> CO: You are welcome.  Would you like anything else?  I can ping one of the other vendors if needed?

Host SMSteve says:
<Store Clerk> SO: Sorry, I'm not sure what it is.  It came in a few months back from a trader.  I think he said it was some sort of Trill carry...um, oh, didn't notice you were Trill.  Trader said it was some sort of carting device.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Gives one of the hot dogs to his new dog:: Fred: Don't worry, they're only called hot dogs.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Takes out a PADD out of his Away Bag, starts reading his sub-space messages that have collected since the beginning of the last mission::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Vendor: No thank you, we're fine.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Clerk: Some sort of carting...I need to know who you got this from.  I need to know where they got it, and more importantly how!  These things are not "traded"!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Fred>:: Gobbles down the hot dog::

Host SMSteve says:
<Beach Vendor> ::Nods, smiles and walks away, looking for more customers while whistling an old children's tune.::

Host SMSteve says:
<Clerk> SO: I...I could get the name for you.  What is it?  The boss thought it was just a nice piece to use as furniture.  Very well made with a nice look, you know?

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Now that he can say he's been in an ocean he heads for his towel on the beach to dry off.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Clerk: Furniture.  I know you don't know what it is, very few beings off Trill ever have seen one.  There is no way I can let this out of here.  I'm taking it, now.  Have my other items sent to the USS Cherokee, care of Starbase 33.  My personal information is on the card.  I'm taking this now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Beach Vendor:  I'll have 4 hot dogs, onion sauce and curly fries.

Host SMSteve says:
<Beach Vendor> CEO: Yes sir, anything to drink with that?

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Spreads his towel out and lies down on it.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
*Cherokee*: Lieutenant Trix to Cherokee, I need myself and the object at my feet Transported to the Social Science artifact lab, directly, on my authorization.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<Beach Vendor>:  Another one of these Betazed Beverages, I'm not sure what’s in it, but it is sure good!

Host SMSteve says:
<Clerk> ::Looks confused but rings in the items and sets them up for delivery to the Cherokee.  Has no idea what just spooked the lady from Starfleet.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Overhears the CEO ordering four hot dogs and wonders if he has a hungry dog to feed too::

Host SMSteve says:
<Beach Vendor> CEO: It's a mix of a local fruit, Bliska, and carbonated Aseeka water.  Big among the locals, glad you enjoy it.

ACTION: Lieutenant Trix is Transported to the Social Science Artifact Lab.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
Beach Vendor:  Sir, I will have the same that the Commander has ordered, I have not ever eaten a hot dog before!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
@*Metron*: I need a bit of help when you get a minute.  I found something on the planet and I need to confirm I'm not imagining it.

Host SMSteve says:
<Beach Vendor> TO: Of course.  From the sales we do to Starfleet I thought they were well known!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Fred>:: Walks over to where CEO is and sits in front of him watching him eat his hot dogs::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::takes a look around the Bridge, and sips his cup very loudly, just to make the technician uncomfortable::

Host SMSteve says:
<Metron> *SO*: Sure thing, I can be back to the ship in...10 minutes?  Where you at?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Beach Vendor:  Well that is very interesting, ::types the ingredients list into his PADD to have the ship's replicator be able to replicate the drink::  Thank you!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
@*Metron*: I'm in the artifact lab.  Best place on the ship to store this safely.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::His eyes follow the dog and sees what he's doing::  Fred:  Fred, no!  CEO: Don't give him any.  We don't want to teach him bad habits.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Calls the dog over to keep him from getting into trouble with CO or CEO.  He has a frisbee so he gets into a game of catch with him.::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::goes to the OPS station and do some checking on the current level of upgrades::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  I wasn’t, these are for me, I haven’t ate since we arrived at Starbase.  But he certainly looks like he needs one more than I do at the moment!!!

Host SMSteve says:
<Technician> ::Pulls his head out from the console he's working on, sees the CIV and removes his headphones.::  CIV: Oh, hi.  I thought the crew were all enjoying the leave time.  Just checking the Navigational subsystems are up to date.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: We don't want him begging for food, besides he had breakfast.  We don't want to overfeed him, he'll puke it up.  He may not be used to a full stomach.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
@::Sets the Chalice on the worktable and fires up the scanners.::  Self: Yes, I hope it's just a very good fake also.  These shouldn't ever leave the Caves.  But the residue inside matched...I've got to check it out to see.  But we may have a problem here.  Do Trelala's clearance codes still work for the embassy if we need them? Yeah, probably not.  But would make it easier getting it in without word getting out.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@Technician: Oh I don't mind to distract you from your work... ::sips again, louder this time:: I see you are you doing a fine job. I just hope you are on schedule.

Host SMSteve says:
@<Technician> CIV: I am, but I'm only here to confirm all your computer routines are up to date.  So far all seem to be.  Can't speak for the physical check guys in regard to schedule.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@Technician: I see... Well, there are always unforeseen complications... A question.. to whom should I address on a tiny matter regarding the replicator in my room?

Host SMSteve says:
@<Metron> ::Comes rushing into the Lab.::  SO: Why didn't you say it was something interesting?  You don't come to this lab unless it's inspection time.  What is that on the table?

Host SMSteve says:
@<Technician> CIV: One second... ::Pulls out a PADD.::  Replicators are on Martin's team.  They are on deck 7 at the moment, working their way up.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@Technician: Martin's team.. Thanks... I think I will pay them a visit and give them some troubles ::smiles::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
@Metron: It's hopefully a good fake, but if not, it's a Trill Symbiont Carriage.  Used to bring a Symbiont from the Caves to the Host for joining.  They NEVER leave the planet, so I am hoping it's a fake.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
@Metron: But I'm not confident.  Very few people even know what they look like, so would be hard to fake this well...

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
@Technician: ::as he enters the Turbolift:: Let's say it is a rank prerogative... ::Turbolift doors closes after his phrase::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Is surprised by a misguided frisbee landing next to him followed by Fred Who leaps over the CO, covering him with flying sand on his way to retrieve the toy::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Sorry Captain, that one got away from us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Throws Fred one of his hot dogs, not looking at the Captain during the throw::
