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

Host SMSteve says:
#<Rigel Traffic Control> COM: Cherokee: Welcome to Rigel V, we've granted you orbital position over the Entach territory.  The location you requested is there.  Let us know if you need any assistance, Starfleet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Listening to the COM traffic, as Isaac logs out of his Eng1 Console on the Bridge::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
COM: Rigel Traffic Control: Thank you, traffic control.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: For what it is worth, I'm not detecting any energy signatures consistent with Elway Shift.  Assuming we're looking for the right bursts, of course.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Standard orbit, Mister Alvarado.

Host SMSteve says:
<FCO> CO: Aye Captain, entering standard orbit.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Captain, sensor scans are all negative ::Logging out of his Tactical station to ready for the Away Team departure::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Regardless, bring a medical tricorder and test Mister Strongjaw.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, we beaming down or taking a shuttle?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Shuts down Science 1 and grabs travel kit.:: CO: Yes sir, it's in the travel kit, added it this morning.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: So we can avoid drinking and driving perhaps we should beam down.  ::Smiling::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Beaming works! ::turns towards the TL::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Phew, thought the "low rank pilots" rule was going to come into play.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Let's go. Transporter room one.  ::Heads for Turbolift and enters:: FCO: You have the bridge, Lieutenant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Follows the Captain::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::is the last one on the TL::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  Glad you could make it Lieutenant ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TL Computer: Transporter room one, please.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CEO:  ::Looking at all the AT in the TL:: Yes, Sir, ::does a tunic tuck in response::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, have you been here before?  You seem familiar with the surroundings.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: I think I have but not to this bar. ::Smiles again::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Well then, you'll be able to add it to your list of accomplishments ::smiles back::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Exits Turbolift and walks into the transporter room::  TO: I don't expect trouble but, bring a phaser.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  I've not been here before ::looks for an unoccupied area on the pad::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Yes Sir! ::Points at a phaser on the transporter control station to the transporter chief, he takes it and slaps it to his uniform::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Steps on pad::  Otis:  We're stepping out for a drink.  Keep a lock on us, just in case.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<OTIS>: CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Oh? Really? 

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Looks over at Lt. L'Vor::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Otis: Energize.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<Otis>:: Energizes and keeps a lock on Away Team::

ACTION: The crew materialize on the surface in a side room of a Transporter Hub.  In the next room they can see groups of people Transporting in and out on private transporters.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Looking around, taking in the new scenery::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes::  All: Well, should we ask for directions to Grog's or find it on our own?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Materializes, looks around for the exit.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::looking around, and mentally yellow alert as he is the only one of the AT that is armed::

ACTION: There is a door to the outside, where thin crowds pass down the street in the midday sun.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
ALL: Okay, who wants a drink?  Let's go.  ::Heads for the door::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: At least 4 of the hosts want one, but they...we can share one.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
TO:  None for me Sir!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: You must have a hard time ordering anything, everybody wanting something different.

ACTION: Once outside, there are several wooden buildings lining a paved main road.  Between the buildings are dirt alleys.  The buildings include stores of all sorts, and 3 doors down Grog's Ale House can be seen, complete with a neon sign shaped like a mug.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: You could have been the designated driver.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Wait, I wasn't the designated?  Then we could have used a shuttle.  ::Grins.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: I guess we don't need directions.  That place is pretty hard to miss.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Well, Sir!  I am the designated person, as I am "Driving". ::in air quotes::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: From what I'm being told, it's an old trick but almost essential in a place like this.  The sooner people see it the sooner that urge takes over.
Self: Wait, what urge?  What are you trying to get me to say?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Starts walking to Grog's.::  All I hope the place is clean.  I hate drinking out of a dirty glass.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
ALL:  Chief Otis is driving ::grins::

ACTION: As the crew nears the door, sounds of a shouting match can be heard from inside.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, it's alright, the transporter filters will filter out any harbinger germs.

Host Travis_Strongjaw says:
Liftan: I told you, the pipes broke when I had a few...friends over!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Hears the noise inside:: All: Oh, it's that kind of place.  So much for your quiet neighborhood tavern.

Host Grogan_Liftan says:
Strongjaw: My room is flooded and my computer is fried in my office.  How many pipes did you break?  And how long did it take you to notice?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  It just a sign the place has character and personality.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Enters Grog's and can't help but overhear the discussion about broken pipes::

ACTION: Once inside, the bar is mostly empty except a pair of individuals sitting at the bar and a Nausican couple sitting at a back table.  In the middle of the bar, a very large man and a far smaller Rigellian are having a discussion.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Finds a large empty table::  All: Let's sit down.

Host Travis_Strongjaw says:
Liftan: Oh, uh, I can't really say for sure...Oh, guests.  ::He puts a smile on his face, grabs a note pad and walks towards the group, leaving the smaller Rigellian standing slack jawed as he walks away.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Giving the place a once-over security survey, eyeing the Nausicans, and the very large man and the Rigellian at the bar::

Host Travis_Strongjaw says:
All: Welcome to Grog's, what can I get you?  Oh, Starfleet, right?  Happy Always to have you folks.  Uh, wait, Always happy to have you folks that is.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  So this table should do fine! ::points at the nearest table closest to the bar::

Host Grogan_Liftan says:
::Shakes his head and stares at the large man.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir!  That is our suspect, the big one, he has a nametag.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  On second thought, how about the table over by the window there ::Points to the table::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Strongjaw: I'll have an ale, whatever you have on tap and a shot of whiskey with it.  Thanks Travis.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Pulls Medical Tricorder and does a quick scan.:: Strongjaw: Yeah, Ale sounds really good.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Sits near the window:: All: Order up.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Strongjaw:  I'll have a whiskey, tall!

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Sits in the seat closest to the window opposite the Captain::

Host Travis_Strongjaw says:
TO: Anything for you?

TO_Lt_LVor says:
Strongjaw:  A glass of ice water for me, thank you!

Host Travis_Strongjaw says:
All: Very good, I'll be right back with your order.  ::Turns and goes back to the bar.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Scans are positive, he's been through at least one Elway shift.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Another suspect..  Should we arrest him and take him with us?  We could start a collection.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO: Are you sure? I mean look at this place?  Really?

Host Grogan_Liftan says:
Strongjaw: As soon as they are served, we aren't done.  Not by a long shot.
