XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::steps up to the big chair and activates the Ship wide COM::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::changes into his civilian clothing and attaches his comb age on his sleeve, out of sight::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks around on the bridge as he arrived there with the XO earlier.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::On the bridge, finishing up the last bits of analyses needed for the mission log::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::picks up his copy of the Old man and the sea and heads for the corridor::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::In her quarters drinking coffee::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*Ship wide*: Attention all crew... I have been informed that there was a murder on this station recently so those taking shore leave are to go ashore in pairs. Bridge out.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks up when he hears the announcement and stops in the corridor::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks up at that announcement at the XO:: XO: You're pretty well informed sir. Was it something that came in with the last communication?
Lola says:
@::wipes down the bar counter and pauses for a moment :: Self: Sure is quiet in here.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his COM badge, placed under his arm:: *XO*: Rome to Commander MacAllister. Sir, what is going on?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: No John, I happen to know the victim.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks around at the other officers on the bridge, less surprised, since he knew the news already.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: XO: Who's that sir?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: I have been informed that the situation is under control Jonathan but I don't want to take any chances.
Lola says:
@ :: tugs on her blouse slightly :: Self: Darn thing, should have gotten a smaller size. :: goes back to cleaning ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*XO*: Understood sir, I will be waiting at the airlock and pair up with someone there. I guess security has been tightened on the station?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::continues his walk to the TL::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: I think that's my business Jon, thanks for your concern but I'll deal with it... now, if you're going ashore, Mr Rome is waiting at the airlock.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Being as surprised as she is, she happens to be in the vicinity of the counsellor’s quarters and softly knocks.:: CNS: Counsellor, are you in?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Self: You know.....I knew it...bad things always happen when I come to this dreadful place.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::hears the knocking:: Lenny: yeah I'm here, come on in.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Nods at the XO and respects his privacy. Closing down science 1 he heads for the turbo lift::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
TL: Main airlock.
Lola says:
@ :: pours herself a drink in anticipation of the rush :: Self: Got to fortify myself.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::The door opens and she steps inside.:: CNS: Did you just hear that ma'am? Any idea what is going on at the station?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: I need a drink, care to join me?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks over to the XO and puts his hand on his shoulder.:: XO: Sure Ethan, let's go.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: yeah I heard it, but I'm as clueless as everyone else, I suppose we'll find out more as time passes.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::flips through the pages of his book while riding the TL, the pages torn and the leather worn after being passed down from his father, and his father::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Looks around at the nicely decorated room, ending in facing the counsellor again.:: CNS: Well, since I am here now, would you mind if I joined you for a stroll on the station? If we dare set foot in there at all.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::heads for the TL with Zoran:: CMO: I'm not going to let him spoil another shore leave for me.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Steps into the TL with the XO.:: XO: Him... Ethan?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Stuart... we've never quite seen eye to eye... though I wouldn't have wished that on anyone.
Lola says:
@ :: downs her drink and wipes out the glass :: Self: Got to keep things clean for the paying customers. :: grins ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::stands by the airlock now, waiting for someone familiar to pair up with as crewmembers leave the ship::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods:: XO: I understand. ::Waits for the XO to tell the TL to go, but notices he is slightly lost in thought.:: TL: deck 6 please.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Exits the TL and heads for the airlock. Pairing up... mmm... Maybe the XO is a bit too concerned:: Self: I'll check the local news channel to see what's up with that murder.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sees Jon coming down the corridor and waves his arm in the air::
Lola says:
@ :: goes to the door and peers out :: Aloud : Well c'mon people, first round is free.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::When the familiar humming of the TL stops and the doors open, he looks at the XO again.:: XO: Ready... sir? ::Tries to smile.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: Jon, wanna be my guard? ::grins::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Sees the CEO and waves back:: CEO: You're my buddy for the day? ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::steps out of the TL on deck 6:: CMO: As ready as I'll ever be.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::laughs and pats him on the back, ushering him out the airlock:: CSO: Sure....but just for the day.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::As they spoke at the same time he laughs and follows the CEO out::
Lola says:
@ :: sighs and heads back inside, her skirt making a rustling sound as she goes ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: So, any plans for the day?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::steps onto the station::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Leaves the TL together with the XO and heads straight for the airlock.:: XO: I've heard of this great place, Lola's. She serves the best drinks on the station. Let's head there.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Sure why not it'll be an experience. :;puts her empty coffee cup down and walks to the door::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CEO: Well, I wanted to speak with the local science office to see what they're up to, but I’ll do that tomorrow. Maybe we could go to the local bar and catch up on the news
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Smiles and nods, then follows the counsellor to the door.:: CNS: Great! ::Giggles slightly.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: As long as she serves strong drinks I don't really care. ::steps on to the station::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: Just what I was thinking, sit down with a good drink and read. Stay out of trouble.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
@::heads to the turbo lift:: Lenny: you ever been to this station before?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CEO: Read? Talk with the bartender. They have better news than the papers. At least they have more details
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::shows him the book he's holding:: CSO: Published in 2028. Got it from my father....probably read it a hundred times.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: So which way is it?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: Bound in real leather....they don't do that anymore I think.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Points:: XO: This way... I am sure that... ::Pauses for a moment:: Lola can take your mind of things. ::Grins noticeably.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks at the book the CEO is showing him:: CEO It looks very nice, what's it about? The old man and the sea… sounds like a nautical book
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::points to the closest bar and hands the book over to Jon::
Lola says:
:: Sets up a row of glasses on the bar still smiling ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
@<Lenny> ::Walks along with the counsellor.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Don't tell me she offers more than just drinks... ::half smiling::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: By Ernest Hemingway, about an old fisherman and one big fish. ::grins::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
@::steps into the turbo lift::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks in the direction he pointed.:: XO: I didn't tell anything... You'll just see. ::Sees the Lola's sign already.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Takes the book and carefully flips the pages:: CEO: a big fish? What kind? A whale?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks over to a table::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Well... let's get that drink.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: Now that would be telling.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
@<Lenny>::Steps into the TL and makes sure there is no one else to join them.:: TL: Deck 6.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
@::steps out of the turbo lift and heads for the air lock::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::takes his seat and waves to a nearby waitress::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks into Lola's and waves at Lola while whispering to the XO.:: XO: See what I mean? ::Winks at Lola.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Sits down next to the CEO:: CEO: I'll look it up in the ships library and read it. It sounds interesting
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: You should.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
@Lenny: I hope you know your way round here I think I forgot to mention I get lost easily.
Lola says:
<Waitress> :: sees the new patron and saunters over :: CEO: Sir, may I get you something?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
@<Lenny>::Walks at the side of the counsellor as they head through the airlock.:: CNS: Not to worry ma'am. I've been here before.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::spots Lola waving back at Zoran:: CMO: You know Zoran, I think I do.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Waitress: One White Russian, double.
Lola says:
:: smiles at the CMO and motions him over ::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Where shall we head first?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: How well do you know this woman?
Lola says:
<Waitress>CEO: Good choice, and your friend? :: smiles sweetly ::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
Waitress: A coffee for me please
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Happens to spot the both Jons as well.:: XO: Looks like we're not the only one who wanted to pay Lola a visit. Well enough to know she serves the best drinks in this region.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks up at the bar and notices a really intoxicating woman:: Self: Must be this Lola.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Shrugs:: CNS: Where ever you want to go.
Lola says:
<Waitress> CSO: A coffee for the little man in the teal uniform. :: huffs to herself and walks off ::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Lets just follow the crowds of people heading in that direction.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> CNS: Perhaps a drink first? Or... shopping perhaps? I know of this very nice Ferengi shop. ::Smiles widely.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::smiles... little man?...sheesh::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::ears perk at the sound of shopping:: Lenny: Sure lets go shopping I could use some new things for my quarters.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: I'll reserve judgement on that until I've had one. ::smiles::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks over to the table with Jon and Jon.:: CEO/CSO: Gentlemen... you came for the nice scenery as well? ::Looks over to Lola::
Lola says:
<Waitress> :: leans over the bar :: Lola: Hey we have some big spenders here.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Nice to see you Commander. Mostly for the drinks.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Nearly jumps with joy.:: CNS: Then shopping it is. ::Walks with the counsellor to the nearest shop.::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CMO: Well, not at first, but it sure is a good view. Although I don't think they're very impressed by my drinking habits today
Lola says:
:: Grins :: Waitress: I see that. Let's break out the good stuff. :: takes the orders and fills them and hands her the tray ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO/CMO: I've heard a lot about the drink in here but I haven't seen one yet.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
CSO: What'd you order then?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::stands up:: XO: Commander. Would you and the good Doctor care to join us?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::wonders if Lenny knows I'm a shopaholic::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::smiles:: CMO: Coffee. I want to stay sober, cause I want to do some research here
Lola says:
<Waitress> :: slowly walks back to the table noticing the other officers that just came in ::CSO/CEO: Your drinks. :: places them down ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks to Zoran:: CEO: It might be a good idea to have some company at the moment.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Stares at the CSO for a moment.:: CSO: ... ::Pauses some more.:: Coffee?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Waitress: Thank you love. ::smiles and hands her a bar of latinum::
Lola says:
CEO: One White Russian, double. ::smiles ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: You're always working Jon, This is supposed to be shore leave.
Lola says:
<Waitress> CSO: Your coffee, strong! :: scowls slightly as she takes the CEO's latinum ::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Laughs:: CMO: Yes I know. XO: Not always. But I don't reckon we'll come back here very soon, so I want to get some things done while I have the chance
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::smiles:: Lola: Thank you. I'll come back tonight for something stronger
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Quickly takes Lola to a side and whispers.:: Lola: Lola, I would like you to err... fix something special for the XO here. He is err... not really into the best mood today, had some bad news. Can you do that?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::lost in his own thoughts again::
Lola says:
<Waitress> CSO: You do that. Little man. :: walks away ::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CEO: What's up with the little man stuff?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::takes a sip of his drink while keeping one eye peeled on the XO:: CSO: You're on DS9 Jon... It’s all about the latinum.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Looks through all the knickknacks:: CNS: Seen anything you like?
Lola says:
CMO: Something special? I think I can manage that cutie. :: winks and nudges his arm ::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CEO: Heh, I’m a Starfleet officer, not a millionaire..
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Yeah there’s some quite nice things here, looking for some wall hangings of some sort and a few dust collectors maybe.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::laughs:: CSO: Still, you can go up to the command level and switch some of your credits into latinum. It's necessary for this place.
Lola says:
:: turns around and begins to make a concoction of her own special blend ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::tries to remember one time that Stuart hadn't screwed things up but is reminded of the time he crashed a crew meeting on the Scimitar the last time they were docked together::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Smiles:: Lola: Thanks Lola... I owe you one. ::Winks back, before he leaves for the table again.:: All: Well, gents, here we are, the hard core of the crew... Perhaps being able to be together like this keeps us all alive and... manage to take on all... ::Smiles as he pats the XO strongly on his back.::
Lola says:
:: turns again and pushes the glass towards the XO :: XO: Hey there, down this. Make you feel like you don't have a care in the galaxy.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::enjoys his drink:: CMO: Yeah...maybe next time someone else gets turned into the freak too.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::grins::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::almost drops his head in the glass as the CMO slaps his back:: CMO: HEY!
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Lola: Thanks... ::smiles and downs the strange drink::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::chuckles:: CEO: You got lucky there bud... I was planning to leave you like that. But our XO here had other plans.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CEO: Not a bad idea.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: I'll remember that. ::smiles and finishes his drink::
Lola says:
:: walks around the bar and sits next to the XO :: XO: So, been here before Commander?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::raises his glass and motions to the waitress for a refill::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::coughs:: Lola: Can't say I have pet, what the hell did you put in that stuff?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Asks the waitress for a drink himself. Not something too strong this time, he still has bad memories of the last time he got really... really drunk.::
Lola says:
:: smiles :: XO: Oh a little of this, a little of that and my secret ingredient of course. You like?
Lola says:
<waitress> :: walks back to the table anticipating refills :: CEO: Thought you might want another. :; hands him the glass ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Lola: Well... whatever it was, it seems to have done the trick... you got any whiskey?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Waitress: Well that happens when the drinks are as good as this one. ::smiles::
Lola says:
XO: We got plenty. Name your poison.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hands her more latinum and smiles, then banishing the thought of hitting on a waitress....never a good idea here::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Giggles as she goes through some odd things for her self.:: CNS: Just let me know if you find anything, I know how to bargain from these Ferengi guys. I have this special weapon. ::Smiles innocently then starts to giggle again.:: Oooooh I LOVE shopping.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Lola: 50 year old Glenfiddich if you have it.
Lola says:
<waitress> CEO: You got the latinum, I'll give you whatever you like big boy. :: smiles and walks away ::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Glenfiddich, you have a good taste sir. ::smiles then looks up at the waitress and smiles::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: See...big boy.
Lola says:
XO: Excellent choice Commander. Coming up..
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks at how latinum really makes a difference here:: CEO: Well, looks like I still have a lot to learn.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Brewed not far from where I grew up Jonathan.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CSO: Yeah....I spent too much time here on my last posting.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Oh I love shopping too, but there’s always too much that I find I like and not enough space to put anything, so I don't intend on going mad.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the willingness of the CEO to spend his bars.:: CSO: So have I. Seems like service is for sale these days.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Really? Never been to Scotland.
Lola says:
:: moves behind the bar and bends down to where the "good" stuff is hidden and prepares his drink and one for herself ::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Well... it's the only brewery in Scotland that still uses the traditional methods.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Looks over to what the counsellor is looking at.:: CNS: We can always go shopping in the holodeck... though it is not as fun to have everything disappear after your gone.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
CMO: Yes... any service...
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Also tastes real good. ::smiles at him::
Lola says:
:: carries the drinks to the other side of the bar and hands one to the XO :: XO: Commander, hope you don't mind if I join you?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Last I heard they were threatening to close that brewery down.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Lenny: Sure but it's still a chance to get away from reality and have that bit of fun.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Lola: Not at all pet, take a seat.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Can we take the Scimitar home and stop them?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over his shoulder, seeing the XO is having a good time and smiles.:: Self: Mission accomplished.
Lola says:
:: looks around and thinks :: Self : God I love Starfleet men!

ACTION: The party appears to be getting into full swing and the XO has, for the moment at least, forgotten about the recent death of his brother... Maybe now he can return to duty... after he sobers up a bit
