CTO_Webster says:
::watches Root Beer and Gumby playing::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at the pets then hugs her husband::  XO:  What have you been up to?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::leans back against the upper level's railing, sighing as she undoes her ponytail and lets loose her hair::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  :Just giving Root Beer a brief change of locale.  She's been starving for attention lately.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::bobs head slightly, allowing her hair to even out over her shoulders::

Lola says:
#::hangs on to Derek's arm:: FCO: So what are you going to show me now?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
<Root Beer> ::chases her tail, hoping to see Gumby perform the same action::

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::watches Root Beer chasing his tail, wondering why he is doing that::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods::  XO:  I guess so...  Poor kid.  ::loops her arm around her husbands then looks at Steph::  I hear you have been 'fighting' with my husband lately?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::admires view out a large window as her mind wanders::

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::begins chasing Root Beer's tail, too::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::laughs at the sight of the two animals playing::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Um, well, I don't know.  Do you see anything that interests you?  ::looks out into space, looking around the system::

Jalan_Sator says:
@::Sighs as there's a malfunction with the shuttle he's on.  Grumbles as they have to return to Starbase.  Thinks to himself: "What do I do now?"  Calculates his options.::

CTO_Webster says:
::leans back against the railing, listening to the conversation::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::pushes self off rail and steps back into the group::  CSO:  Well... ::trails off as a smile crests her lips::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Oh, don't bring that up...  ::grins::  Steph's got quite the ego when it comes to... well... everything.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Enters Starbase OPS and seeks out Lt. Soto.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::snickers and looks at Steph::  CEO:  Hmm?

Lola says:
#FCO: Any nebulae close by? I'd love to see one up really close.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::starts looking about, not making eye contact with the XO::  CSO:  I needed to go easy on him... not much of a fight, seeing that he was quickly on his back.  ::fakes a yawn::

Jalan_Sator says:
@::Purrs quietly to himself and thinks that he'll let the people take the weapon off, then will try to grab it from them after they return to Starbase.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  See what I mean?  ::teasingly elbows Steph in the arm lightly::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::eyes widen and looks up at Torgh, hoping he doesn't make a scene::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Interesting...

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks over the office directory for Lt. Soto's name::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Hmm...looks like there's one close by, shouldn't take very long to get there.  I hope you don't mind a little wait.  ::begins changing their course::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  After all, it's quite hard to find anyone who knows how to hold a bat'leth... so I wasn't picky when I was forced to settle with Commander Sanders, here.  ::gives a harder nudge back to Torgh::

Lola says:
#::stares out the window looking at the stars:: FCO: Pretty aren't they?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  These delusions of grandeur must stop, Steph.  I wasn't that easily defeated the first time.

CTO_Webster says:
::blinks at the byplay between the CEO and CSO:: Self: Interesting.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::simply watches the two::

FCO_Grayson says:
#::looks over at her:: Lola: Yeah, they are.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  I had a feeling that he wasn't much for Tongo, and I must say I have a renewed interest in the mighty blade of a warrior these days.  Takes my mind off Commander Webster's fluctuating phaser array...  ::rolls eyes::

Jalan_Sator says:
::Arrives back at the Starbase and is notified that it will take a while before they can board another shuttle.  Is barely able to steal his weapon back.  Then goes and checks out a room as he waits.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::A clerk at the desk notices the Captain searching for something::

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::stops chasing Root Beer's tail and lays down::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  In fact, the only time I lost to her was when I heard there was a call from you, Angel.  So you can understand how distracted I was.  ::grins::

Riverwind says:
::trots around the Starbase::

CTO_Webster says:
::turns to face the CEO:: CEO: Hmmm, I thought Engineers thought all the ship's equipment was theirs...I guess that's only when it works ::grins::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::grins back then looks at Steph::  CEO:  Can you beat that?  ::winks::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Somebody get me a tricorder scan and I'll show you a teddy bear hiding under those Klingon features.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
<Root Beer>  ::takes Gumby's lead and lies down next to him::

Lola says:
#FCO: So, how long will you be at the Starbase?

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Ltjg. Port>: Is there something I can help you with?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::chuckles::  CEO:  You got that right.

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::allows Root Beer to curl into him, purring::

Riverwind says:
::tours around like he owns the place greeting all the Security::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Our shore leave's only for 49 hours, so I don't think we'll be around for too much longer.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  The ship as a whole is my baby, as are her engines... your phasers are just along for the ride.  ::smiles::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::extends hands behind her, pushing off the railing every so often as they all kill time::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO/CSO:  A teddy bear that's mean with a bat'leth.

Lola says:
#FCO: That's too bad, but I hope that you can get time off here again very soon. ::smiles sweetly::

FCO_Grayson says:
#::smiles:: Lola: That would be nice, but knowing Starfleet... ::shakes his head::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Port: Yes. I'm Captain Grift of the Don Johnson, Lt. Soto summoned me.

Lola says:
<Jenar_Ratal> ::looks around for somewhere to hang out until the next shuttle is ready for departure::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::shakes head and smiles::  CEO/XO:  You two are nuts.

Riverwind says:
::puts his nose up to the transparent aluminum and watches all the ships come in ::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::strokes chin, somewhat pushing her lips into a fish face as she begins to think::  Self:  That reminds me... before we leave, I should see if they have a place to import a decent bat'leth at.  ::looks back up::  After all, that's the only reason I lost that one round... those replicated ones do the weapon no justice.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Sighs as he sits in his room, then has an idea.  Looks out of his door and quickly makes his way to the next room.  Then picks the lock and enters.  Then hides his weapon in a hole he creates in the wall which is next to his room, making it so if he opens up the wall in his room he can access it just before he's scheduled to leave.::

CTO_Webster says:
::nods:: CSO: I totally agree ::reddens as she realizes she just insulted the XO::

Lola says:
#FCO: I don't get to meet very many Starfleet officers my age so this is a very nice change for me.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Closes up the hole so it looks normal.  Then exits the room as he secures it.  Then heads back to his room.:: Self: At least I won't get caught holding it.  ::Paces around.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO/CSO:  Like that's any news to me... of course he is.  ::turns to face XO::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: How long have you been here?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods back at Caryn then looks around::  CTO/XO/CEO:  Do any of you have any plans??  We should find something to do.  ::trying to change the subject::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Ltjg. Port>: Ahh yes, please have a seat, Lt. Soto will be with you shortly.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  I could defeat you with any bat'leth, replicated or otherwise.

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes head:: CSO: Not me.  I'm not sure what there is to do here.

Riverwind says:
::trots up to the hot dog stand owner, produces  a piece of currency from within his fur, pays the man, and trots off with a hot dog in his mouth::

Lola says:
#FCO: Just over a year now, but I miss Mars Colony a lot.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  Uh huh...   All:  Say, has anyone seen the Captain lately?

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Oh, you grew up on Mars?  I don't think I ever stopped by there...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::turns about and begins looking through the many faces on the level below, unable to spot him::  CSO:  Meh, I'm free for the time being.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Sure, change the subject...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::turns back around::  XO:  Just giving you a chance to save some face...  ::giggles::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::rolls her eyes at her husband::  XO:  Shush, you.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Heads out of his room as he's becoming too nervous in there.  Heads to the Promenade to grab something to eat.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks puzzled at the clerk for a second, then does as he's told and chooses one of the chairs in the reception area to sit in.

Riverwind says:
::finishes his hot dog, looks both ways, small belch::

Lola says:
#FCO: Yes, my parents were members of the archeology institute there, you know, digging for artifacts and that sort of thing.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  You're lucky my human half has a sense of humor, or I'd take that very personally.  ::smirks::

CTO_Webster says:
CSO: I was thinking about heading back to the ship...unless you have a suggestion?

Lola says:
#FCO: Where are you from Derek?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  Ooo... does this mean that if I kill you in honorable battle, I'll get a welcomed promotion?  Maybe I should give the Officer's Exchange a shot some day...

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Alaska, on Earth...  ::checks their course heading real quick, making sure it's correct::

Jalan_Sator says:
::Looks around and finds one restaurant and then sits down to have a small quick meal.::

Lola says:
#FCO: Alaska? What is that like?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Picks up a copy of 'Soldier of Fortune' from a table next to his chair and begins leafing through it.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::moves around the others in the group and presses self against the window::  Self:  No, no, no...!  ::points at several worker bees on the outside of the Don Johnson's hull::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  You wouldn't last ten seconds on a Klingon ship.  You may fight well, but you're no Klingon warrior... missy.

Lola says:
<Jenar_Ratal> ::wonders if Jalan made his escape safely::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::rolls her eyes again::  XO:  Go on, go prove your man hood or whatever.  ::gently pushes him toward Steph then takes a step toward Caryn::  CTO:  Actually no... but I'm up for suggestions.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Is extremely worried but barely shows it as he eats his small meal.::

CTO_Webster says:
::frowns, thinking:: CSO: Well, we could go looking for April.  I haven't seen her since leave started.

Riverwind says:
::sees a man sitting on a bench working on a theoretical physics manuscript::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::turns away from window, groaning and knocking her head lightly::  XO:  Right, I lack the ridges...

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Well...a lot of it is still forest and wilderness, but it's one of the most beautiful places on Earth.  Well, in my opinion.  It has a lot of trees and animals, and in the summers the sun shines for almost the entire day.  The only bad part is the winters can be pretty long and cold...

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Angel, it's only friendly competition.  Neither of us really mean what we're saying...  At least... I don't.  I can't say for sure about Stephanie.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Finds an article detailing  some new quantum torpedo technology.::

Riverwind says:
::watches as the man goes into a restaurant to get a snack leaving his paper behind::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::thinks::  CTO:  Now that you say it, I haven't seen her, either.  Hmmm....

Jalan_Sator says:
::Sets his tip and payment down, then exits the restaurant and heads back to the Promenade to find out when the shuttle will depart.::

Lola says:
#::moves closer:: FCO: Don't you have anyone in Alaska to keep your feet warm? ::smiles and rubs his leg with her foot::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::doesn't answer the XO, instead just acts like she didn't hear it and continues looking out at the ship::

Riverwind says:
::looks at the physics paper on curved space, picks up the pencil in his paw, thinks 'no, that’s not right', makes some erasures, and corrections in the margin, trots off::

CTO_Webster says:
CSO: Well, I hope she is having a good time, whatever she is doing.

FCO_Grayson says:
#::smiles:: Lola: Well, not really, no...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  Might be taking a nap in sleepbay... I mean sickbay.  Those biobeds are quite comfy... ::coughs::  ...so I'm told.

Riverwind says:
::trots along whistling::

CTO_Webster says:
::laughs:: CEO: Sure, you were Told that.

Lola says:
#FCO: Could I come to Alaska with you sometime? I'm very good at keeping toes warm Derek. ::squeezes his arm::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::reaches down to pet Root Beer and smiles at Gumby::  Pets:  Boy you two have quite the life.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks at Root Beer, who's fallen asleep on the floor, and sits down next to her to scratch her ears::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Ltjg. Port>: Lt. Soto will see you now. ::Points down a corridor::

Riverwind says:
::produces a pair of sunglasses from his fur and puts them on::

Jalan_Sator says:
::Pauses and looks over at some Starfleet Officers and smiles with a soft purr.  Then goes to stand at a viewport, looking out of it.::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Someday, maybe.  But I don't plan on going back any time soon.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::stands and heads on down the corridor indicated in search of Lt. Soto.::

Lola says:
#FCO: Well you know where to find me if you ever do.

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::stretches out a paw and swats the CEO on the ankle::

FCO_Grayson says:
#::nods:: Lola: Do you ever get lonely out here?  I'm assuming you're here all by yourself, of course...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::has somewhat separated herself from the group, talking into her commbadge to the Starbase technicians at work on the Don Johnson::  Badge:  ...because those plasma manifolds were nice and clean after our layover at 247, and Commander Ranoldy said his were gunked up when he left your base last week.  Don't cut any corners on those engines...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::feels a nudge on her bare leg, and looks down to see Gumby.  Shakes head, tucking badge back into her pocket::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::finds Lt. Soto's office on the right and enters::

Lola says:
#::looks out the window again:: FCO: Lonely? Yes I do sometimes, especially since my parents died, but I'm used to it.

Riverwind says:
::passes a mirror, looks himself over, 'Yes you are quite the handsome Husky'::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Oh...sorry.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sits next to her husband::  XO:  So, what are we doing for the evening?

Lola says:
#FCO: It's all right Derek. Now where is that Nebula you promised to show me?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::shrugs::  CSO:  Dunno...  Whatever keeps my mind off work.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::lifts leg up, and rubs the swatted spot lightly as she turns back towards her crewmates::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lt. Soto> Ahh, Captain Grift. Sorry to cut your shore leave short, but we have had a most troubling development onboard the base.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods::  XO:  I see.  I hear I can be quite the distraction.  ::looks away from Torgh::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Coming up right now, actually.  Take a look.  ::the shuttle approaches the nebula, swirling with numerous different colors:: What do you think?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::squirms a bit, finding her bathing suit was not designed well for walks on the promenade.  Still glad she has a decent-looking robe on over it::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  You're the best distraction I could ever want. ::smiles::

Lola says:
#::leans into the window:: FCO: Oh it's so big!

CTO_Webster says:
::looks out over the railing, trying not to eavesdrop on an obviously private conversation::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks down at feet::  Self:  I wish these toes were in sand right now... ::sighs::

Jalan_Sator says:
::Grumble purrs as he's told that all ships and shuttles can't depart the station for security purposes that aren't being disclosed at this time.  But knows exactly why.  Quickly heads back to his quarters to think things out..::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Soto: What is it Lt.?

Lola says:
#FCO: I heard that a ship's sensors don't work inside one of those. Is that true?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at her husband and leans her shoulder against his::  XO:  Then what shall we do??  I've just eaten with Caryn and I'm stuffed....  How about a Holodeck?

CTO_Webster says:
::hears the CEO sigh:: CEO: What's up?

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: That's usually what happens.  Why?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  I like that idea.  You choose the program.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  Wouldn't mind a Planetside Starbase about now...

Lola says:
#FCO: Can we try and see if it is true?

CTO_Webster says:
::frowns:: CEO: Ummm, are there such things as Planetside Starbases ::giggles::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Well...okay.  But just for a few moments.  ::sighs and starts to bring the shuttle into the nebula::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  Every now and then, I just get this realization of how "fake" some things feel on ships and stations.  The gravity is never quite right... set to Earth standard, and same for the air.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lt. Soto>: Earlier today, Ambassador John Woo was found murdered. I'd have internal station security investigate, but we're shorthanded due to the conflict on Termina VII and you're the only starship currently docked here.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::thinks::  XO:  Something quiet and not too demanding....  How about a hike?

Jalan_Sator says:
::Arrives in his room and paces the length of the room as he thinks of how to get out of here.::

CTO_Webster says:
::shrugs:: CEO: You have a point there, but I'm too used to being in space.  It doesn't bother me anymore.

Riverwind says:
::makes his way back to the Ambassador's quarters::

Lola says:
#::giggles with excitement:: FCO: This is so wonderful. Just look at all those swirling clouds of gases!

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Great!  We can take Root Beer with us...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  Why of course... I know, sounds funny with a "star" base being on a planet.  But there's Starbase 11... now there's a base with some history, all the way back to the early 23rd Century.

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::stands and walks over to the XO and CSO, looking ready for a walk::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lt Soto: Has security uncovered any clues?

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?  ::brings the shuttle to a stop in the middle of the nebula::  Well, sensors aren't working.  I guess it is true.  ::smiles::

Riverwind says:
::enters the Ambassador's quarters and crawls into his doghouse pleased with his tour::

CTO_Webster says:
::nods:: CEO: Yep, sounds a bit oxymoronic ::smiles::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  ...and Gumby seems excited about the idea, too.  ::chuckles::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  Of course it doesn't bother me...   There was this one Vulcan I worked with on my first ship, though.  Couldn't stand the gravity, or the air for that matter!  Spent most of his life on Vulcan, and I swear I actually saw him get mad...

Lola says:
#FCO: Let me see. ::leans over and looks at the sensors:: What if you push that red button?

Lola says:
#::pushes the red button::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles and nods at Torgh::  XO:  Great!  ::pats Gumby::  Gumby:  Are you saying you want to come along? 

CTO_Webster says:
CEO: Really?  Are you sure he was a true Vulcan?  Follower of Surak?

Jalan_Sator says:
::Pauses.:: Self: I could try to steal a shuttle... ::Sighs.:: That could bring undue attention... ::Starts pacing again.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lt Soto>: Like I mentioned earlier, we're shorthanded, so we haven't done much investigating yet. Ambassador Woo was waiting for the U.S.S. Penguin to arrive so he could continue his journey back to Earth. His body has been moved to the stations morgue.

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::pats the CSO's leg in return::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Mind if we take Gumby for a walk on the Holodeck?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::nods head::  CTO:  I was a medical officer at the time... and he was complaining about his muscle loss, you know, with Vulcan having higher gravity and all.

Lola says:
#::hears the computer start to speak::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at Gumby::  Gumby:  I suppose you could come along.  ::scratches behind her ears::

CTO_Webster says:
::looks at the XO, then to Gumby:: XO: No, sir, not at all.  Don't worry if he goes off on his own.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  He turned away, but as he made his way out of the office I saw his face flare a bit in a reflection off a glass cabinet when he left...

Lola says:
#FCO: What does that mean Derek, self destruct sequence engaged?

CTO_Webster says:
::turns back to the CEO:: CEO: Interesting.  I thought Vulcan's always hid their emotions.

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: That means the shuttle will blow itself up, Lola.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Thanks.  CEO:  Steph, try to enjoy the rest of shore leave.  Don't worry too much about the ship until you're on duty, okay?  ::gives her a friendly smile::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lt. Soto: My crew will do their best to get to the bottom of this investigation. In the meantime, I suggest you don't allow any ships to dock or depart from the Starbase.

Lola says:
#::looks at Derek:: FCO: Oops!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::stands up and offers her hand to her husband::

Lola says:
#FCO: Can you turn it off?

CTO_Webster says:
Gumby: You be good, Stinker.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  That's the key word there... "hid."  Great people though, excellent conversationalists.  There was one, back in 2231... ::turns towards XO::  XO:  Oh, thanks... you and as just enjoy yourselves!

FCO_Grayson says:
#::shakes his head and quickly hits a few buttons on the console, ending the self-destruct sequence::  Lola: Maybe we should avoid unfamiliar buttons from now on.  ::smiles::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::takes his wife's hand and heads toward the Holodecks::

CMO_Fielding says:
::wakes up rather groggily in one of those male-free areas of the Starbase with a blistering headache and a very detached mood::

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::follows the XO, keeping abreast with Root Beer::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::squeezes Torgh's hand and follows him, making sure the two kids follow::

Lola says:
#FCO: I guess you're right. Time to go home now?

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lt. Soto>: Yes, we've already secured the station and locked down transporters.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
<Root Beer>  ::trots along next to Gumby::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO:  While I've got time to kill, I'm going to try and get a hold of the Captain to approve a new work order... I'll catch you later.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Decides to try to hide his weapon as best as he can.  Goes out to find a perfect hiding place.:: Self: Something like where Jenar had it hidden. ::Exits his room and goes down various halls.::

CTO_Webster says:
CEO: Didn't Commander Sanders just tell you not to think about work?

FCO_Grayson says:
#::glances at the time:: Lola: Actually, we still have a little over an hour left before we need to be back.  Do you want to go back, or would you like to stay out here a little longer?

CMO_Fielding says:
::slowly stands up and immediately decides that was the wrong move.  Besides which, what was she doing, being able to stand up at all?::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::turns head back as she walks::  CTO:  I don't remember him making that a direct order... ::laughs::

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: OK, have fun.

Lola says:
#FCO: Oh I'd like to stay and I promise I won't push any more buttons.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*DJ Senior staff*: Report to the Starbase's briefing room on Operations deck 6 in ten minutes. Grift out.

CTO_Webster says:
*CO*: Aye, sir, understood.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::passes by Jalan and makes her way towards a nearby turbolift::

CMO_Fielding says:
::hears the announcement and desperately hopes she's not one of those people.  Then she realises she is.  Drat...::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lt. Soto> You will have full cooperation of the entire Starbase staff, Captain. Let me know personally if you need anything.

FCO_Grayson says:
#::grins at her and sits back in his seat, gazing out into the nebula before looking back at her:: Lola: It's okay if you push some, Lola.  Just try to avoid the dangerous-looking ones.  ::smiles::

CMO_Fielding says:
::tries to stand up, gives up, and sits down instead::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::approaches the Holodeck and runs the program.  As the doors open, he allows Tas to enter first::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::shakes head as she listens to the comm::  Self:  Like that's going to give me any time to change... ::smiles at passer-bys as she waits for the lift::

CMO_Fielding says:
*CO*: Will try to make it there, sir.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::groans in near pain and looks at Torgh::  XO:  I suppose he means us, huh?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::leaves a meeting and waits outside the briefing room::

CTO_Webster says:
::follows after the XO and CSO, to collect Gumby before the meeting::

Jalan_Sator says:
::Pauses in one hallway and looks back and forth, then examines the wall closely.:: Self: This might do...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::steps into lift::  TL:  Level 6.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  I didn't hear anything....  ::grins::  Computer:  End program.

CTO_Webster says:
::catches up to them:: XO/CSO: I guess you heard.

CMO_Fielding says:
::ugh... ten minutes... where's a good hypo when you need one...::

Lola says:
#::smiles at the handsome pilot:: FCO: Okay, so where to now?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Unfortunately...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles and leans in to him, laying her cheek against his chest::  CTO:  Yeah, yeah.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::arrives on Level 6, making her way past those in standard uniform as she enters the conference room, eight minutes early::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lt. Soto: I will do that. ::turns and exits Soto's office on his way back to the DJ for a quick change of clothes::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::stops midway in the door, seeing Grift down the hall::

Lola says:
<Jenar_Ratal>::slowly makes her way about the shuttle dock watching for a chance to board another shuttle::

CMO_Fielding says:
::manages to stand up and holds on to the wall and slowly walks toward the doors of the male-free zone::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::heads toward a turbolift::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
*Sea to Captain Grift* Waiting for you in the conference room

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::follows the XO::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::groans::  CO:  Is this going to be quick, or is it something that I should try and run back to the ship and put something more... uniform-like on for?

Jalan_Sator says:
::Quickly makes a hole in the wall and then makes it so it's extremely hard to notice.  Then puts a lock on it and a self destruct mechanism in there to for good measure.:: Self: A bit weird that there aren't many Starfleet personnel around.  ::Quickly heads back to his room then sits and listens to the room where he hid his weapon.::

CTO_Webster says:
Gumby: Let's go, kiddo.  No time to get you home before the meeting.  ::follows the XO to the turbolift::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: Well, there isn't all that much else of interest in the area, to be honest.  We could just fly around and watch the stars, or stay here and see the nebula a little more, or whatever.  ::shrugs::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters the TL::  Deck 6.

Lola says:
#FCO: I think I'd like some whatever Derek. ::giggles::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::waits as everyone, Officers and animals, pile into the turbolift::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: You have about 8 minutes, use your best judgement.

CTO_Webster says:
::almost falls into the turbolift as Gumby jumps into her arms:: XO: I think we're ready, sir.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Hears nothing for a few long minutes, then heads into the other room to retrieve his weapon.  Then makes his way back to his hiding spot and secures the weapon there.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO/CSO:  What do you suppose could be important enough to interrupt shore leave?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sighs::  XO: I don't know, but it better be good.

CMO_Fielding says:
::stumbles into a turbolift::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::raises hands into the air as she enters another turbolift, still in earshot of the CO::  Self:  I knew this was going to happen... always happens on shore leave.  Why the last- ::is cut short as the door closes::

CMO_Fielding says:
Computer: Deck... um... deck... I think it was Deck 6.

CTO_Webster says:
XO: No idea, sir, but it can't be the DJ.  My security teams have reported all normal onboard.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::as the door opens, he exits::

Lola says:
<Jenar_Ratal>::hides behind a pile of cargo when she spots some security personnel::

FCO_Grayson says:
#::laughs and looks over at her:: Lola: I don't know, I'm not sure my captain would approve...  ::winks::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::approaches the conference room::

Lola says:
#FCO: So, we just don't tell him.

Jalan_Sator says:
::Taps on his device that looks like a PADD and tricorder, enabling the self destruct mechanism.  Then deletes all evidence from his PADD/Tricorder device and smiles with some relief as he heads back to his room.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::arrives on Deck 6 and nearly keels over::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::follows XO::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::sits in conference room with River at his feet::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Root Beer:  You stay out here.  Be good.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::runs through the DJ's airlock and heads towards her quarters, not wanting to arrive late to the meeting::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::finds herself stopped at the airlock by security personnel::

Lola says:
#FCO: So what exactly is your idea of whatever Derek?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::as the door opens, he sees Riverwind sitting at John's feet::  Root Beer:  On second thought, come on in...

CTO_Webster says:
Gumby: You stay with Root Beer.  And be good.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
<Security>  CEO:  Sorry, ma'am... we're going to have to get some sort of identification before we let your board this vessel.

CTO_Webster says:
<Gumby> ::follows Root Beer into the conference room::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters the conf. room and takes a seat::

FCO_Grayson says:
#Lola: I don't know, whatever you want it to be...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sits next to Torgh and pets Root Beer::

CMO_Fielding says:
::follows the arrows into the conference room, still feeling quite dizzy and out of it.  Everything looks fuzzy::

CMO_Fielding says:
::makes a note to herself to do it properly the next time around.  Just too weird, the whole experience...::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
Security:  But... meeting... clothes... Captain... 6 minutes!  ::points from Starbase, to chest and all around as she explains in broken fragments that she's in a hurry.  Gives up and walks back towards the Starbase::
