CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Meets up with Lieutenant LVor while heading to Sam’s for the Captain's Dinner::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Sitting down at Sam's for dinner, placing a rather heavy bag with some statues that seemed a lot smaller on the store shelf onto the floor.::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::accommodates his seat next to the table looking for a more comfortable position::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CEO ::Sees Cmdr Hull catching up with him as he is walking towards Sam's Restaurant on the Starbase Promenade:: Good evening Cmdr. Hull, going to the Captain's Dinner? 

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO/CIV: At a large table at Sam's Place::  All: I'm glad you all decided to come.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  Yes, I thought I'd walk with you.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Sitting at the table not about to pass on a free meal.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::The CEO and TO enter Sam’s and grab a couple of seats at the Captain's Table.::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CO: ::nods to the Captain:: I think we all need to indulge ourselves a bit, and embrace some comradeship.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Smiles and nods to everyone as they enter.::  All: Hello.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO/TO: Welcome, Gentlemen.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain!  Thank you for the invite Sir! 

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!  My honor to be invited!

Host Sams_Server says:
::Comes up to the table.::  All: Greetings, and welcome to Sam's.  I hope you are all enjoying your stay on the station?  Are you all ready to order?

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::waves at the rest of the officers::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV:  Captain Marek!  How are you Sir!  Didn't we just do this?  ::Smiles::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: Sort of a DeJa’Vu ::raises an eyebrow::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV:  Always a pleasure Sir!

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: Indeed.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Server: I'll have roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, cranberry sauce, a small salad, Italian dressing and a root beer.

Host Sams_Server says:
::Takes the notes.:: CO: Any flavorings on the chicken?  We have a barbeque sauce that is the best in system.  ::Smiles.::  Not that we have much competition among the Betazoid places.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Server:  Lobster tail, loaded backed potato, grilled asparagus, Caesar salad, and a small scotch.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Server: No flavoring but, you could add a nice herb stuffing.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
Server:  I will have what he is having. ::points at Commander Hull.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Server: I think the fish fry on the special of the day sounds good.  With a glass of wine to go with it, something that "goes with" the fish.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
Server: I'll have a bacon cheeseburger, French fries and a glass of milk Preferably from a cow.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::has a malicious idea::

Host Sams_Server says:
CO: Of course.
OPS: How would you like it cooked?  The Cheeseburger, obviously, not the milk.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
Server: medium, will be fine.

Host Sams_Server says:
OPS: Very good.
::Nods to CEO and TO, marking down their orders.::  SO: I think we have a good one on the menu, recommended by the owner.  Argellian white, from '37 vintage.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
Server: If you will, please bring me a Vulcan Tea, Hot, and a couple slices of a human meal. Pizza I think is the name...

Host Sams_Server says:
::Smiles.::  CIV: Good choice, yours and the Operations officer.  Keep it simple and just enjoy.  But we have several toppings, what would you like on it?

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
Server: Ehhh... what do you recommend?

Host Sams_Server says:
CIV: Simplest response to that is usually pepperoni, but as a Vulcan, maybe I'd suggest mushrooms?  Assuming you follow the vegetarian diet?

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
Server: Let's "start" with that...

Host Sams_Server says:
All: Very good, I'll get your orders in and it will be out shortly.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
Server: Thank you.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Server: Yes, Thank you.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Server: Thanks.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: I think our leave timed out well.  The music was interesting, even if it got my old fogie other selves nostalgic.  But it did inspire a few nice pieces from a local shop.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Music was fantastic, I will be scheduling some holodeck concerts onboard during our transits, and I too have bought some nick-nacks for my quarters, it has been quite minimalistic since my assignment, I'm quite pleased!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: I enjoyed the concert, what I saw of it.  They didn't play much from Earth.  Just some Earth opera and I'm not into Opera, Klingon or otherwise.  I found it hard to sit still.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CO: Klingon Opera... is an acquired taste... and hard to acquire, if you ask me.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Agreed.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: That's not exactly an uncommon thought.  Knew a few, well, Trix knew a few people and symbionts who liked it, but not many.  Outside of Qo’noS, at least.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: I bet you'll find quite a few musicians on board our ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  What do the Klingons say? "You can’t appreciate Shakespeare until you've heard it in the original - Klingon!” ::Laughs::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: Same experience. I can count with the fingers of my right hand, the people I actually know that enjoy that type of artistic expression.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Smiles at what CEO said::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: Well, Shakespeare would say.. any publicity is good, even negative one...

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO/ CEO: Oh there must be.  I have a few on my staff that I know have some talent musically.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Doorty keeps telling me he can play the field drum and the Brellit horn, but I don't think marching music with instruments designed to carry are what we are looking for.  Even if the skills can translate to these.  ::Holds up and wiggles her fingers.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  I'm sure those who are musically talented will come forward, the Holodeck will get us started, but I'm sure we can have a full orchestra once the crew realize that there is interest.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: If there's anything I can do to make it happen, let me know.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: I'm sure it will.  We could even throw in some dances.  Metron, from social sciences, keeps telling me he is a great dancer.  Managed to avoid finding out over 2 postings together now...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Aye Sir!  I'm sure it will happen without too much prodding.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: I think you're right.

Host Sams_Server says:
::Brings the food with a few helpers to carry it all.:: All: I also brought you all a couple baskets of bread to sort of flesh out the meal, even if that term is a bit off.  If you need anything else, just give myself or one of the staff a nod.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  Ah!  The food has arrived!  

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
All: I bet I could learn how to play a percussion instrument and the Captain says he can play guitar.  We could have a band too.  Play some rock’n’roll music.  There's not much of it on Bajor but Earth has a vast library of rock, all different kinds.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Server (s): Thank you.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Server: Thank you, it is appreciated.  ::Smells the fish and realizes her "brain" is split, with Trelala not as impressed as the others.::  Self: Oh well, we've eaten enough of your <censored> the last few days.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
OPS: Percussion isn't as complicated in making notes and all, but the timing and rhythm need to be on point so it is a bit harder than it sounds.  Um, no pun intended there.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
SO: I could do it, I'm a fast learner.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
OPS: Not that I think you couldn't do it, if you put your mind to it.  Even I might be able to do it despite a lack of...rhythm.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Starts eating his dinner::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::zips a drink of his tea and literally engulf the first slice of pizza::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Takes a bit of the fish.:: Self: It's not bad, see?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Thinks - I'll have to do some extra laps in the pool to work off this dinner::
