Host SM_James says:
Summary: It's the evening before the due date for crew arrival. Some have had the forethought--or, perhaps, small misfortune--to get here with time to spare. How do they spend it? And what pray tell is the tax?

TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: Staring up at the ceiling, bored as heck.  The graduates who had come with her and her friends, had all been placed in random rooms.  At least they were paired and not quads.  But even that did not matter as it felt as if the room were closing in on her.  She turned to her temporary roommate.  Their paths had crossed at the academy, but that was it as they were in different fields.::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::looking up at the ceiling in her temporary room with her roommate, knowing that this needed to change:: TO: You know what! I think we need a change of scenery!
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: Takes a deep breath::  Lawrence:  Yes!  ::shifts to get out of her bed::  I think I would go crazy in here with all the suspense going on.  ::stands::  Suggestions?
LT_Hawk says:
::Having tossed his one bag into the closet... err.  room he'd been assigned, decided he was bored (it had been an entire hour since he got to the station) and began to tour the station.
Lea says:
<Cmdr_Julian_Lea>::Sitting at a table in a lounge on DS3, sitting back, sipping from a mug of tea as she peruses a PADD::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She hops onto her feet almost immediately:: TO: Really? You're game!? ::Her smile widens::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She enters the lounge on DS 3 with a PADD in hand. Without even looking up, she is able to weave in and out of the groups of other individuals as she makes her way to a table::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  No argument here.  :: puts on her jacket::  Thoughts... ideas...
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She looks genuinely surprised. Tsela had always been the quiet one. The anticipation must be killing her as well:: TO: Drinks? I mean, you can't ever go wrong there.
Lea says:
<Lt_Brooks>::Standing near a small kiosk on the promenade, looking over different trinkets::
LT_Hawk says:
::Rounds a corner and decides the tour has been completed...  right here where the bright sign spelled out LOUNGE in 3 different languages.  Enters the lounge and stops by the door for a moment, looking around.::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She notices that most of the tables are taken. She takes a seat at the bar near the corner instead::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
::steps into the lounge, speaking into his comm badge:: And I'll need to push back my 09:00. Emergency meeting of the medical staff Some priority thing. ::shrugs, unseen:: Politics doesn't look any better from this side, in case you were curious.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: shrugs as she heads for the door::  Lawrence: I rarely drink alcohol, but that does not matter.  New faces… maybe someone we know or will know.  ::shakes her head wryly.::
MO_Simmons says:
:: Meanders her way down the promenade taking in the sites::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
Scene: IT's just past 18:00. Shift change was only shortly ago, and the place is busy as a result. Long day, short night.
LT_Hawk says:
::Deciding nothing looked ready to leap out and attack, steps further in and heads for an empty table::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks up noticing that the lounge is rather full. She places the PADD down and orders a Vulcan Green Tea::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Goes to take another sip of her drink, only to find the mug empty. She sighs, slipping the PADD into her pocket, and stands from the table, making her way toward the bar, reluctant she'll probably lose her table now::
MO_Simmons says:
::Noticing a group gathering in the lounge, decides to head in and do some people watching.::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: Plus, we have no idea when we will get the chance again! Who knows what our next assignment will hold. ::She ushers the TO out of the door and begins to walk briskly:: TO: I mean, aren't you excited?
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
::moves straight for the bar, as though it was natural habitat (who knows, perhaps on a station this size, it is)::
LT_Hawk says:
::Sees some Commander get up, thus freeing a table.  Quickly slides into the chair before someone else gets the same idea::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Bartender: Thank you. ::She smiles brightly at him as she takes the warm mug into her hands. Calec's favorite beverage and now hers::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Pivots on her heel a bit to avoid getting jostled in the growing crowd, and instead bumps into Jervase instead::
LT_Hawk says:
::Flags down a harried looking waiter, orders a Saurian Brandy, then settles back for some people watching::
MO_Simmons says:
::Heads to the replicators and orders a strong black tea.  Once she gets it, she makes her way through people finding a table just as two people get up to leave.::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
::Considers:: Lawrence: I am curious.  As a scientist, I love a mystery.  As a tactical officer, I do not.  ::smiles slightly:: So where does that place me?
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Exchanges some payment with the vender and carefully pockets a small object, before turning away from the kiosk and surveying her surroundings::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: That places you in the category of "time to let Kristen teach you" a few things about celebrating promotions and graduations. ::She grins as the two reach the lounge::
MO_Simmons says:
::Watching the bar.  A few people in intense conversation.  A few people sitting alone.::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
::steps aside to avoid one shoulder, catches another as a consolation prize:: CMO: Sorry. Tight spaces. ::pauses:: Doctor Lea. Not usually your haunt. Lost? ::grins, albeit briefly::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She takes a sip from her mug before placing it down on the counter and continuing to read the information on her PADD::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
ACTION: Hawk seems to have acquired something of a reputation from one of his last trips through DS3. A few of the patrons give him a little space.
MO_Simmons says:
::wrapping her hands around the hot mug, blows on her hot tea before taking a small sip.::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: lightly chuckles.  She pauses a moment, looking into the lounge before taking that step.::  Lawrence:  I do not know... it looks fairly busy in here.  I do not even see a place to sit.
LT_Hawk says:
::Eyes the folks taking the long way around with a mixture of amusement and resignation::
MO_Simmons says:
::Notices several of the patrons change directions to avoid another person sitting alone at a table.::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She looks around at all of the people:: TO: That's ok! ::She notices a table with just one man sitting there:: TO: Let's make friends. ::She takes the TO by the arm and leads her to Hawk's table::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: blinks as Kristen takes her arm... not something most people would do.  Simply follows::  Lawrence:  Make a friend... who are you looking at?
MO_Simmons says:
::Watches as two other people join the lone guy heretofore being avoided and stares back into her tea.::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Smiles warmly in return:: CNS: Counselor. ::Nods in greeting:: You know me, the forever balance between solitude and companionship. This week's attempted strategy: Relaxing alone around people.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: That cute Lieutenant over there. ::She smirks as they reach the table:: Hawk: Excuse me, Lieutenant. Are these seats taken? I'll buy you a shot if they aren't.
LT_Hawk says:
Lawrence:  They are all yours....  no shot necessary.  ::smiles::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: Research, or are you actually relaxing? ::smirks almost knowingly::
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Makes her way, a bit too slowly, a bit too deliberately, toward the entrance of the bar::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: starts to say "Cute lieutenant vs two lowly ensigns?" but Kristen is fast and all she does is nod her head in greeting.::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt Hawk:  Thank you.  :: slips into the seat across from him.::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Shrugs her head slightly one direction, then the other, smiling a bit guiltily:: CNS: Let's call it "pleasure reading" and say it counts?
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She takes a seat:: Hawk: Thanks. ::She motions to Tsela:: Hawk: I'm Kristen and this here is Rain.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
<CSEC_Lt_Toral> ::moves past the bar casually, pauses, scans the crowd a moment, then continues::
LT_Hawk says:
Ens. Lawrence:  Nice to meet you both...  my name is Sky.  What brings you two here tonight?
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She looks over at the waiter and orders a round of shots for the table, even though Hawk did indeed decline::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
::just narrows his eyes, but lets it slide... this wasn't one of their sessions, after all::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt.  Hawk:  I know I should not say this, but pure bordom?  The trip was long with lots of mystery.  Made it very intense.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She grins as the shots reach the table:: Hawk/TO: Exactly. We needed some fresh air. Shall we cheers to a great night?
LT_Hawk says:
TO:  Amen to that!   So if boredom brings you to the Lounge, what brings you to DS3?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: shakes her head at the waiter and asks for grape juice::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: Just one! Remember, graduation celebration!
LT_Hawk says:
::Raises his eyebrows a bit.  Grape juice?  This girl knows how to party!::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt. Hawk:  Good question.  We have no idea.  The graduation ceremony had just completed when one of my teachers came in and told me I had an hour to pack and meet the shuttle.  We were told where we were to land, but nothing else.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::Looks over at the table where Lawrence is sitting, instantly feeling her presence. She watches for a few moments:: ~~~Lawrence: Behave little sister.~~~ ::She smirks::
LT_Hawk says:
::nods::  TO:  Sounds like my story.  Get your butt to DS3, you'll find out why.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: Reading Hawk's expression::  Lt. Hawk:  Never wise to get drunk when you are in a strange place with lots of strangers.  ::lifts a brow as she looks around::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Rolls her eyes slightly and pulls the PADD out of her pocket, proferring it to Jervase::
LT_Hawk says:
::Smiles slightly::  TO:  Expecting an attack, Rain?
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> Hawk: Well then, cheers between the two of us? ::She looks over at the TO:: TO: Come on! Plleeeaaasseee.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
::raises an eyebrow, but takes it, giving it a brief skim::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt. Hawk:  With these mystery orders?  :: thanks the waiter and tilts her glass at Kristen::
MO_Simmons says:
::Nursing her hot tea enjoying watching the different conversations going on around her.::
LT_Hawk says:
::shrugs::  Ens Lawrence:  Each to their own I guess.  ::clinks his glass against the Ens's and takes an appreciative sip::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She looks around for Michelle and grins in her direction before taking down her shot in one gulp:: TO: You do know we're going to become new best friends, right?
LT_Hawk says:
TO:  I wouldn't read too much into it.  Probably just some Admiral somewhere that hasn't thought through what he wants to do yet.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: a hint of mischief in her eyes:: Lawrence:  May we never regret joining starfleet. :: lifts a brow::  We are?  You remind me alot of another friend.  My mother would say there is no such thing is too many friends.  Though my father might disagree on that.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She gets up from the bar and makes her way over to the table where her sister is:: TO/Hawk: Excuse me. I hope she isn't being too much of a handful. ::She motions to Lawrence::
LT_Hawk says:
::Amused grin::  TO:  You're a very literal person, aren't you, Rain?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt Hawk:  True... but... :: shakes her head::  Enough.  What about you?
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: I have no doubt in my mind! ::She looks over at her sister and shakes her head::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: looks over, wryly::  Lawrence:  I have been accused of that on occasion.  It is probably why I get along well with Vulcans.
LT_Hawk says:
::Looks up, a bit startled::  Cmdr Campbell:  No, not at all.
FCO_Talin says:
:: walks into the promenade with dufflebag in hand looking for the nearest terminal and sights looking at the LCARS menu ::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She notes the startle:: Lawrence: Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friends, Kristen?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Cmd Campbell:  Describe - Hand full.  :: the mischief is still in her eyes::
LT_Hawk says:
TO:  Am I a very literal person?  Probably not..  In fact, you could probably find people that say I never know what I'm talking about.
MO_Simmons says:
::Deciding that she's just not in the mood to people watch tonight, deposits her now luke warm tea into the replicator and heads out for a walk on the promenade.::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She rolls her eyes slightly:: Hawk/TO: This is my sister, Michelle. We happened to have both received orders to be here on DS 3.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
::looks up from the PADD, studies Lea for a moment, then hands it back:: CMO: Light reading, huh? ::amusement shows in his eyes, but he says nothing else just yet::
FCO_Talin says:
:: rubs his eyes... from the lack of sleep... and think screw it ale ::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt. Hawk:  Hmmm... that might be a bit of challange if your giving orders.
LT_Hawk says:
::sighs with a chuckle::  TO:  Ummm... that was supposed to be a joke.
FCO_Talin says:
:: pokes at the screen... to determine the nearest watering hold and picks up his bag slinging it over his other shoulder from his uniform sash with the imperial crest and ulhan rank ::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Shrugs slightly:: CNS: What can I say? I enjoy a good mystery.  ::Smiles quietly::
LT_Hawk says:
::Smiles politely up at the Cmdr.  Not quite drunk enough yet to go with Michelle::  Cmdr Campbell:  It's nice to meet you Commander.  Super secret orders for you too?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: simply smiles at Hawk::  Cmd Campbell:  Would you care to join us?
MO_Simmons says:
::Pulling her padd out of her bag and not seeing where she is going accidentally runs into the FCO::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> Hawk: What was your previous assignment, Lt.? You and Rain can't possibly be cut from the same cloth. ::She smirks::
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::In her unsteady way, walks into the lounge and makes her way to the bar, shifting onto a seat::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks over at Kristen for a moment and then back at the others:: Hawk/TO: Sure. Thank you for the offer. ::She takes a seat:: Hawk: And yes... in a way super secret.
FCO_Talin says:
:: Finaly duffle bag drags far enough to the watering hole and makes a b-line for the bar::
LT_Hawk says:
::turns serious::  Ens Lawrence:  My last assignment....  doesn't exist anymore.  Before that, the USS Claymore.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: So do I, but I lean more towards fiction. ::winks:: Reality's pressing in on us from all directions enough already.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: looks at Hawk wondering what Kristen was seeing.::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She looks over at Hawk when he says Claymore but does not make any mention. She takes a sip from her mug, wondering where this will go::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
ACTION: Talin gets not a few curious, and possibly a smattering of questioning, looks as he makes his way for the lounge.
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Twinkles slightly:: CNS: I believe you may have misread the title, Doctor. This is not exactly a xenobiological treatise.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> Hawk: Well, assignments change all the time in Starfleet I have been told. ::She pauses:: Hawk: What was your position?
FCO_Talin says:
:: Bumps into Simmons:: MO: Ugh.. Sorry.  It's been a long flight.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: She read the sorrow in his statement and said nothing.::  Lt. Hawk:  How long have you been in starfleet?
LT_Hawk says:
::Laughs a bit::  Ens Lawrence:  At some point or the other, I've been SO, CAG and TO.  So...  depends on what day you ask me.
FCO_Talin says:
:: bends over to pick up the MO's PADD  and hands it towards her ::
MO_Simmons says:
FCO:  I'm sorry.  It's my fault.  I was just trying to ::takes the padd:: Get this out of my bag.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt. Hawk:  By choice?
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She smirks:: Hawk: A jack of all trades. Love it. ::She orders herself another drink::
FCO_Talin says:
:: sees stairs already ... very different than his usual assignments.  This one... in plain sight for all ::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She crosses her right leg over the left as she listens to the three banter. It was quite amusing at the moment::
FCO_Talin says:
MO: heh, I see that.  um.. well... can I at least get ya something in apology to make it up to you?
LT_Hawk says:
TO:  Forever it seems.  ::smiles::  And yes, by choice.  I just got done discussing that with my sister and she pointed out in her own subtle way that it seems I'm struggling to decide what I'm going to be when I grow up.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: pushes the glass with the drink she declined towards Kristen::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: You're the bomb dot com! ::She picks it up and takes a sip::
MO_Simmons says:
::Looking at her padd and back to the FCO:: FCO:  Sure, this ::gesturing to her padd:: can wait.
LT_Hawk says:
::Grins at Lawrence::  Ens Lawrence:  You forgot the "master of none" part.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lt. Hawk:  I would laugh at that, but given my background and choices, I think I understand.
FCO_Talin says:
:: stands straight up and straightens the dark gray lines of his uniform and readjusts his sash::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Hawk: I'd think otherwise. You wouldn't have made it this far without being talented. You just have many talents.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  What is a bomb dot com?  Is this an Earth term?  ::frowns::  I have found that my education is very much lacking where it comes to idoms of cultures.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: I probably did. You'd think putting the surgical gloves away would mean a lighter workload. ::grins just a little:: You would, and you would be wrong.
MO_Simmons says:
::Drops her padd back into her bag.:: FCO: What brings you to DS3?
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She literally laughs out loud:: TO: Oh I'm going to teach you so many things! Hopefully we are assigned to the same ship and room.
LT_Hawk says:
::nods thanks at the Cmdr and lifts his glass slightly::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Hawk: I feel like I've been around the block a whole lot as well. We just end up cycling back to what we love... or Starfleet loves for us.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  I am not much of a believer of coincidence.  I would bet we are.
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  well... I've been assigned out here as an exchange officer.  Not really sure what the specifics are yet.
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  I literally just got off the shuttle. :: nods to his one duffle on the ground ::
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: From your lips to the universe. ::She blows a kiss toward the ceiling::
MO_Simmons says:
FCO:  Well, welcome to DS3.  I'm not sure what I'm doing out here yet either.  But tomorrow should tell.
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>CNS: Do you ever think you'll pick up the gloves once more? We'd love to have you "back" in the OR again.
FCO_Talin says:
MO: Nice was just about to ask... also... since I'm on to asking... what's your poison?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  I would say our paths are not likely to cross, given you will be living in engineering, but my role should have me all over the ship.  Of course, there are the rooms.  I assume, with the rank of ensign, we share rooms.
MO_Simmons says:
FCO: Just a black tea.  Grew up on it and nothing else seems to come close.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  Then again, it could be a station.  :: looks around the very crowded room.::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: Always keep a pair handy in case I'm needed. You folks seem to have it well in hand, though. That new Bajoran they brought in seems to be singlehandedly catching what you miss.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: But there will be free time that we can enjoy for sure! ::She pauses:: TO: Do we share Quarters? I have no clue.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: looks over at the two experienced people::  Campbell/Hawk:  Do you know that answer?
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  Ahh.  Yes.  Caffeine.  I remember that from last time I worked with Starfleet.  Hell of a drug if you ask me. :: motions to the bar tender ::
LT_Hawk says:
TO:  Depends on the class of ship you're assigned to.  On a station, no, you shouldn't have to share a room.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
ACTION: A card game breaks out in a corner of the bar not far from Campbell, Hawk, Tsela-Yakaze and Lawrence.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
TO/Lawrence: And on a ship, it's a hit or miss depending. Junior Officers usually do, while senior officers have their own set.
MO_Simmons says:
::Slides into a seat at the bar.::  FCO: Thanks.  The caffeine usually works in my favor.
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  I guess that means we wait and see.  :: sighs::  It is going to be a challange sleeping tonight.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She looks over at the source of the increased noise:: TO: Let's ask to join in!
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: Looks over::  Lawrence:  Cards?
FCO_Talin says:
Bartender: One black tea please, sugar cubes on the side in case and if you have any... scones that would be excellent.  Also... if you have ... looks at himself... well if you have you know... it's obvious can you bring me one of those... if not a second black tea will do.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> TO: Cards! ::She yawns as she looks over at them:: TO:... but we should probably not be out super late either. Not with tomorrow's orders...
MO_Simmons says:
FCO: Met many Brits before?  Not many people would think of scones.  Do you drink much tea yourself?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: smiles::  Lawrence:  Thank you.  It is going to be hard enough to fall asleep.  I would prefer not to fall asleep during my first mission.
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Nods in agreement:: CNS: Doctor Prasi has been a great addition. So has Doctor Tevis. To be honest, we're a little overstaffed. I barely feel even needed in sickbay anymore, we have so many competent people. ::Raises the PADD a touch:: Thus the rare pleasure reading.
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  I've been around a bit, work and all.  I did take a liking to it last time I was out this way... but not so much black tea more green tea and honey.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She looks over at Hawk and Michelle:: Hawk/Campbell: I'm going to be good and call it a night. We Ensigns have to make a good first impression.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: How long before you figure you're fielding a transfer request or few?
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  So how long have you been out here?
LT_Hawk says:
Ens Lawrence:  Too late!  ::winks::  But have a good night.  I hope I see you again.
MO_Simmons says:
::Takes a deep breath:: FCO: I've never left Earth before a week ago.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She blushes a bit at the wink:: Hawk: Me too! ::She stands up:: TO: Ready roomie?
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
:: standing::  Hawk/Campbell:  It was nice to meet you.  Most likely our paths will cross again.  Pleasant dreams.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
TO/Lawrence: Have a great evening you two. Please get some sleep. Tomorrow is an exciting day for you both.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
<Cmdr_Lauri> ::steps into the lounge, pauses, then makes his way steadily through the crowd for the bar::
TO_Tsela-Yakaze says:
Lawrence:  The answer is no, but being wise at the start might get us further then falling asleep during briefing.  :: shakes her head as she heads out.::  Any relaxation ideas...
FCO_Talin says:
MO: oh wow... ::cocks head a little bit:: You're lucky.  I've never been able to stay home very long. :: sighs a bit :: but if I did I'd guess I'd miss it out well... :: motions everywhere :: here
Cmdr_Campbell says:
<Ens. Lawrence> ::She briskly follows Rain as she exits:: TO:... we can always ask the computer to play some relaxing music?
LT_Hawk says:
TO:  You as well!
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Hawk: So you're also one of the officers who received those mysterious orders, Lieutenant?
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>CNS: You mean...away from here?
MO_Simmons says:
FCO:  Maybe, but there is something to be said for stability and knowing what you're going to do everyday...::almost more to herself:: And knowing that you're good at it....really good at it.  ::Pauses for a second:  I'm sorry.
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  So... that's a big change... how are you doing?
LT_Hawk says:
Cmdr Campbell:  Shhhhh...  if I tell you, then I'll have to kill you!
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: Unless any one of them wants to come over to the dark side. ::grins, passes a nod to a familiar face or two making their way out::
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  no no.. it's ok.  Everyone has to have something.  So ... what are you really good at? :: smiles ::
MO_Simmons says:
FCO: I'm managing.  ::Half smile:: I'm trying to figure this thing called "adventure" out.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She grins:: Hawk: And what would be your preferred method? ::She asks in an amusing tone::
FCO_Talin says:
:: notices the barkeep brought 2 black teas...and is slightly disappointed... but still happy for the company ::
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Having finished her drink, she picks up her bag, and starts to shuffle back out of the bar::
MO_Simmons says:
::Picks up the tea and nods to the barkeep:: FCO: Thanks for this.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
<Cmdr_Lauri> ::nearly bumps into Brooks on her way out:: MO: Apologies, lieutenant.
LT_Hawk says:
Cmdr Campbell:  Oh...  I never give away my methods.  Professional pride and all.  ::smiles to show he's joking::  So, what do you do when you're not trying to trap helpless Lt's in bars?
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>::Grins a bit:: CNS: I'm not so sure we need *more* counselors here. You and your team do quite a...thorough, job as is.
FCO_Talin says:
MO: In my experience... that tends to come to you on it's own time.  :: nods and picks his up:: MO: No problem.  I'm happy to have literally bumped into a kind soul.
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Tries to adjust as Lauri nearly runs into her, but too easily loses her balance, and begins to careen toward the deck::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
<Cmdr_Lauri> ::quickly shifts his momentum to position himself to either brace her entirely or lighten her fall::
MO_Simmons says:
::Genuine smile:: FCO:  I used to think kindness was around every corner.  Now I know it's rare, so it's nice, and rather unexpected to find it out here.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
::She takes a sip of her Vulcan Green Tea:: Hawk: I have a feeling you're far from helpless. ::She places the mug back down:: Hawk: These days I am serving as a Counselor. Although, like you, I've held many different positions in my career.
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Manages to sort of catch Lauri's arm, preventing a complete fall, though her bag drops to their feet:: Oh... ::Sucks in a quick breath and regains her footing a little better, releasing the Commander's arm:: Lauri: Thank you, Commander. I'm...so sorry.
FCO_Talin says:
MO: or some one trying to get something from ya.  I know...  :: sighs :: MO:  this could be a good change of pace I’m thinking myself.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: You can never have too many counselors. Like doctors, the optimal number is almost always 1 more than you have on staff at present. Unlike doctors, calling in that 1 more won't immediately result in losing one to a priority 1 trauma emergency.
MO_Simmons says:
FCO: If I'm honest, not really, but it's a job and has the potential to be fulfilling.  ::Looks sideways at him with half a smile and a roll of her eye.:: Long....boring story.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
<Cmdr_Lauri> ::waits until she's steady, then drops his arm:: MO: No apologies necessary, lieutenant. The fault is mine. On your way out? ::offers an easy smile::
LT_Hawk says:
::nods::  Cmdr Campbell:  A challenging role on any ship.
FCO_Talin says:
MO:  I've learned the only good stories are long.  And none are boring.  Especially over tea.  
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Nods a bit, slightly self-conscious:: Lauri: I thought so. It's been a quiet night. ::Remembers to smile:: Just a little shopping done.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Hawk: It does present unique challenges, that's for sure. Some people look at you as if you're out to get them. ::She smiles softly:: Hawk: That's why I make it a point to trap them. Especially at a table in a lounge.
LT_Hawk says:
::Laughs with genuine amusement::  Cmdr Campbell:  I'm sure you do, Commander.
MO_Simmons says:
FCO: Maybe if we run into each other again.  I have to report in tomorrow, and staying up late talking over hurts that can never be remedied, doesn't make for an alert officer in the morning.  ::Polishes off her tea::  But I do hope to see you again.  ::Offers her hand::  Thank you.
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>CNS: I'll yield to your professional opinion, there. When I first started with Starfleet, certain command staffs seemed to insist on pushing me into the counselor's role. Clearly, none of those commanders had actually been through the psychological track. ::Smiles ruefully::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
<Cmdr_Lauri> MO: Well, by all means don't let me keep you. ::a pause, only a moment:: Oh, yes I got your message. I'll schedule that appointment in the next few days or so. Once this priority refit's out of the way.
FCO_Talin says:
::smiles and extends his hand to shake hers:: MO: I understand.  I hope to see you again for sure, and thanks for the company.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Hawk: Well, Lieutenant, I'm going to follow the lead of the other two and get some rest. ::She stands up from the table:: Hawk: It was a pleasure meeting you. Don't stay out too late. You never know what position they'll need you in tomorrow. ::She winks::
MO_Simmons says:
FCO: My pleasure.  ::Slides off the stool and glancing at her chronometer before heading out of the bar.::
LT_Hawk says:
::Stands::  Cmdr Campbell:  Well, I am a huge fan of multiple positions.  Have a great night Commander.
Lea says:
<MO_Lt_Brooks>::Looks up, a second glance, to Lauri as her brain catches onto his reference:: Lauri: Oh, yes. Of course. ::She smiles:: Thank you, Commander. We always appreciate the cooperation of high level staff. Sets a good example for the rest.
Cmdr_Campbell says:
Hawk: Multiple positions. Yes. ::She grins:: Hawk: Multiple personalities. Let's hope not. ::She makes her way to the exit. There was a lot to do before tomorrow::
MO_Simmons says:
::Heading to the turbolift to her temporary quarters thankful for some conversation....not realizing how long it has been since she really had one.::
LT_Hawk says:
::Watches the Commander depart, then shakes his head with a smile.  Sits back down::
FCO_Talin says:
:: kills his tea wishing it was something else ::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: Which professional opinion would that be? I've been you. ::offers a wide smile, meeting her eyes:: Long time ago, nowhere near here, and on a much smaller scale. But a strip of latinum says the headache feels the same.
FCO_Talin says:
:: hears the laughter and sees some people getting up a leaving... and notices... no way...:: :: smiles, sees a straw and paper wrapping... dips the paper in the tea dregs... loads the straw... aims for Hawk and fires ::
LT_Hawk says:
::Starts as he's hit by...  something?   Looks in the direction of fire and a slow smile comes to his face::
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>CNS: Regarding the appropriate number of counselors. ::Smiles:: But yes, probably the same. ::Kind of suddenly aware of the bar around them again:: I'm sorry, I imagine you were here for something other than---::Shrugs and smiles:: --whatever this is.
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
ACTION: Talin gets a couple puzzled looks from patrons nearby, and a few more people slide out of potential firing range.
LT_Hawk says:
::Still smiling, takes an ice cube out of his drink, aims carefully, and sends it flying toward Talin's drink::
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
CMO: This is a couple coleagues catching up over something that isn't a mountain of paperwork. ::grins, and on purpose doesn't bring up the fact that some of that paperwork has Lea's name on it::
FCO_Talin says:
:: grabs his tea cup and moves it under the cube for a perfect landing ::
LT_Hawk says:
::Laughs and gets up, walking over to Talin::  FCO:  Well, I'd of thought you'd of flown into a sun or something by now.  It's damn good to see you again, Talin!
Lea says:
<CMO_Cmdr_Lea>CNS: Well, it was nice to catch up then. We should--  ::Manages to stop herself from inviting him to "do it again sometime," and goes another direction:: --probably get back to those paperwork mountains. But always a pleasure, Counselor. ::Smiles sincerely::
FCO_Talin says:
LT_Hawk: yeah... I'd thought so too... but here I am... of all the gin joints in crazy town.  But seriosly... we need to find something that's not Synthahol so I can properly report in tomorrow.  Lets do this!  
LT_Hawk says:
::mock salute::  FCO:  Lead the way, sir!!
Host CNS_LtJG_Jervase says:
ACTION: The crowd begins to break up, everyone going their separate ways--either alone, or in groups. Another evening draws to a semi-shaky close.
