XO_Hart says:
Fairday:: You changed into it yourself ... you do not remember? ::wonders about Fairday::

SOFairday says:
Hart: No.. it was that stupid Sedative the doc gave me for my little phobic visit... ::notices robes::  Do we have to wear these?

XO_Hart says:
::glances over at the CO ... correction ... senior trader ...::  Bobby ... you look wonderful today!

CEO_Reed says:
::sighs, reading how pitiful this ship is, as compared to the larger ships he is used to::

XO_Hart says:
Fairday:: Well my name is Naya for the rest of this mission ,., better remember it boyo!

Host Ops_Mizzi says:
Captain:  The ship is running within normal limits....

Cpt_McD says:
::glances back:: Thanks Naomi...err...Naya. ::turns back, and mumbles "Bobby???"::

SOFairday says:

Romeo says:
All:  Well... where do you want me?

XO_Hart says:
McDowell:: Bobby Dear ..... you realise that I have experience with this? ..... I respectfully suggest that I am checking on your trading abilities .... I am from head office?

Cpt_McD says:
::leans over to Naya:: Just make sure we don't get too comfortable in the role. I'd hate to live out more of it if we get captured.

Host Ops_Mizzi says:

Romeo says:
::Tucks a Tricorder under his hat::

XO_Hart says:
CO:: Bobby dear .... calm down .... just make sure everyone destroyed their comms badges .... I found some old-fashioned ones around ..::passes out walkie-talkies::

Romeo says:
All: Aren't we just a bunch...?

CEO_Reed says:

Host Ops_Mizzi says:
::takes out the nose rings.... and sets them on the FCO dash board::

Cpt_McD says:
::takes a walkie talkie whatever thingy, and puts it underneath his robe. Connects an earpiece into the mic jack::

Hart: Oh now... just muttering incoherently.

XO_Hart says:
Reed:: In your dreams ... but yes ... our cargo is worth a great deal

Host Ops_Mizzi says:
::swivels back around....  monitoring course::  Bobby:  5 minutes ti the Piergo system...

XO_Hart says:
::tries not to equate Fairday's horse fixations with Adele's assumed name::

Romeo says:
::quickly runs to replicator and orders a tooth-pick and places it in hanging out of his mouth::

Cpt_McD says:

XO_Hart says:
CO:: Roberto .... would I do that?

CO_Bob says:
::red-faced, turns around:: Brody: I am. Is there a problem?

CO_Bob says:
::mumbles beneath his breath:: yes

XO_Hart says:
CO:: There was no time ... we had the Ferengi freighter to dispose of first if you remember dear?

CEO_Jimmy says:
::wonders if his cap is on straight::

Host Chf_Brody says:
Bob: You have to pay several docking taxes and several port fees

XO_Hart says:

CO_Bob says:
::confused:: Brody: I was not informed of these fees.

Host Ops_Pony says:
::looks over at Colt and wonders if he needs som holodeck time...  what a disturbed individual::

Host Chf_Brody says:
ACTION: Customs Officals jog off into the distance

CSO_Colt says:
::chuckles::

XO_Hart says:

CEO_Jimmy says:
Bob:  Forget about it...there is no need to argue with them...there's probably a fine for that, too

XO_Hart says:
::frowns::

Host Ops_Pony says:
::fiddles with nose ring...  waits for Bobby's orders::

CSO_Colt says:
