::trims his beard in his quarters and uses a towel to wipe away the shaving cream remaining on his face::
CO_Linard says:
::sits on a chair in her room and brushes her hair::
CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the shower in her quarters after going through another run in the park::
CTO_Yeung says:
::in his quarters, laying out his uniform::
EO_Tana says:
::standing near a window in one of the lounges, wondering what to do on a ship where he's not allowed to work::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::splashes his face with cold water a few times then stares into the mirror::
CMO_Naegle says:
::dries off and puts on a clean uniform::
FCO_Terman says:
::meandering around the ship with no purpose at all::
MO_Powers says:
Sec: It's not like I used the cards. Look they are four aces and I had 4 aces so it wouldn't have made a difference. It's not cheating if I didn't use them. ::steps back a bit from the force field::
CO_Linard says:
::gets up from her chair and decides to take a walk throughout the ship::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::dries off his face and then goes to a dresser and lays out a fresh dress uniform::
CTO_Yeung says:
::does some stretches before putting on his uniform::
CO_Linard says:
::heads out into the hallway, smiling at the first passenger she sees::
EMMA says:
::looks up at Kavli for the 1,012th time, gets no response, and then looks back out the window::
FCO_Terman says:
::nearly bumps into someone:: Someone: Sorry. ::continues on his way::
SEC Officer says:
MO: That is not the point. You had the cards and had the intention to use them. You'll have to stay in there until this gets settled.
CO_Linard says:
::heads for the lounge::
CTO_Yeung says:
::fully dressed, checks his hair in the mirror::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::hops into the sonic shower and cleans up ::
EO_Tana says:
::finally tugs his jacket smooth again, unnecessarily, and looks down at the robot:: Emma: Having fun yet? ::not exactly expecting a response::
CO_Linard says:
::steps into the Majestic's version of the turbo lift and heads off::
Gluon says:
::regains his balance and looks at the bumping guy:: FCO: Hey, take care. Do you have an idea who I am?
MO_Powers says:
Sec: I gave the chips back. Isn't that punishment enough?
CTO_Yeung says:
::walks down the corridor to the ship::
FCO_Terman says:
Gluon: Nope, can't say I do. ::thinks 'or care'::
Gluon says:
::the Ferengi puts an air on himself:: FCO: I'm Gluon, the owner of this ship
CMO_Naegle says:
::decides to venture out of her quarters again, since the dinner is going to be a while::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::picks up a towel and turns off the sonic shower:: Self: It's good to be clean. ::heads over to the window and looks out::
CO_Linard says:
::steps out of the lift and into the lounge, nodding to one of her crew as she does::
SEC Officer says:
MO: No. We will need to speak with your commanding officer.
EMMA says:
::looks up at him for the 1,013th time:: EO: Work now?
Boson says:
::the Ferengi walks past the CTO and nods::
Staff Person says:
CO: Captain... hello.... ::grins as heads out of the lounge::
FCO_Terman says:
Gloun: Impressive ship, but I bet it handles like an ::tries to think up something that handles really slowly:: slug.
EO_Tana says:
::sighs:: Emma: No, we're on vacation. We just have to.. relax. ::he sighed again. He was having as much trouble explaining the concept of vacation to the robot as he suspected his coworkers had had explaining it to him::
CO_Linard says:
::nods in return with a smile as the Majestic staff member passes her::::
CMO_Naegle says:
::walks to a turbolift and tells it to take her to the lounge area::
CTO_Yeung says:
::nods at the passing Ferengi, then continues to the lift and heads up to the lounge::
FCO_Terman says:
Gluon: But the Apache... now there's a ship that can fly.
CO_Linard says:
::takes a seat near the window as a very handsome waiter approaches her::
Gluon says:
::his ears seen to waver in indignity:: FCO: Slug?! slug? Do you have any idea how many latinum my partner Boson and I have invested in this ship?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::takes in the view and ponders his new orders and mission on the Apache::
MO_Powers says:
Sec: There is no need to get her involved. I'll pay an amount equal to what I won as a fine. There is no need to tell the captain.
FCO_Terman says:
::looks at the wall:: Gluon: I willing to guess... ::ponders for a beat:: five.
CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the TL and enters the lounge::
CTO_Yeung says:
::exits TL and walks over to the lounge::
MO_Powers says:
::sees that his pleading isn't getting him anywhere:: Sec: Maybe if you meet my good friend gold pressed latinum this will be cleared up.
FCO_Terman says:
::grins, knowing that he's gonna get on the Ferangi's nerves::
Lounge Waiter says:
::waits for her to sit:: CO: May I take your order, Ma'dam?
Mr. Smith says:
::walks the corridors, spotting Mr Sorsion’s door open:: OPS: Good afternoon, Mr. Sorsion. How you enjoying your trip?
CO_Linard says:
::smiles up at him:: Waiter: I'll have Vulcan Spice tea with a shot of Saurian Brandy....
EO_Tana says:
::brushes a bit of dust off the small robot's head and then turns, heading out of the room he was in and into the corridors::
Gluon says:
::waves at the FCO and walks away:: Self: Hu-moons, bah!
CMO_Naegle says:
::sees the captain sitting at a table and walks over to her::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::glances at the door and notices it open:: Smith: Mister Smith, I didn't realize my quarters door was open. I am enjoying it greatly, thank you.
CTO_Yeung says:
::wanders around a bit in the lounge, taking in the sights::
Lounge Waiter says:
CO: Ahh, excellent choice for you, Ma'Dam..... ::eyes her:: You are... Betazoid? Are you not?
SEC Officer says:
::looks around and lowers the force field and holds out his hand to receive his 'tip'::
FCO_Terman says:
Gluon: Bye! ::waves:: Don't trip on your lobes!
MO_Powers says:
::gives the sec officer his bribe::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: Waiter: I am...
FCO_Terman says:
::continues to meander::
EO_Tana says:
::stops at the public-access displays to bring up an abstract ship map to find out where it is he's supposed to be::
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles as the captain charms the waiter::
CTO_Yeung says:
::notices the captain and the doctor and walks over to them::
Mr. Smith says:
OPS: that's a minor mistake on your part. Furthermore there's nothing to worry here on the Majestic. If you need anything just ask one of the crew
OPS_Sorsion says:
::walks over to the door:: Smith: Now if you'll excuse me, I'm to get dressed it's almost time for the evening dinner.  Am I correct?
MO_Powers says:
SEC: You're all just a bunch of glorified thieves. ::leaves the brig and heads for a turbolift::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Captain?  Enjoying yourself?
OPS_Sorsion says:
Smith: Thank you kindly sir, will there be anything else? ::puts his hand over the controls by the door::
Mr. Smith says:
::looks at chrono:: OPS: 30 minutes now
CTO_Yeung says:
::smiles at the doctors, and gives the captain a grin:: CO/CMO: Hello captain, doctor.
Lounge Waiter says:
::smiles warmly:: CO: I have the most .... respect for your race, ma'dam.... you are of the most sensual of races ... ::eyes her seductively:: ... perhaps if you are not doing anything later.....??
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and pushes the button to close the door:: Smith: Thanks again!
EO_Tana says:
::takes a lift and makes a few corners as he approaches the lounge holding the rest of his crew::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CTO: Commander?  How are you, Jon?
FCO_Terman says:
::notices a piece of latinum that somehow made it from Gluon's pocket into his hand as the owner turned away:: Self: Neat. ::pockets the money::
CO_Linard says:
::looks up at the CMO and the CTO and watches the waiter blush incredibly:: CTO/CMO: Janet...Jon.... won't you join me?... my waiter here was just going to get my drink....::glares at him::
CTO_Yeung says:
::chuckles at the waiter:: Waiter: Sorry pal, she's spoken for...very spoken for.
CTO_Yeung says:
CMO: Quite refreshed. This place is great. How about you?
Lounge Waiter says:
CO/CMO: But of course... ::bows humbly::... would the gentleman or Ma'dam prefer a drink as well?....::looks to the CTO and CMO::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::walks over to his neatly pressed uniform and slips into it:: Self: Where are those pips ... ::goes over to the dresser and grabs his gold pips fastening them and then checking himself in the mirror::
CMO_Naegle says:
::sits down at the table with the captain:: Waiter: Saurian brandy for me.
CTO_Yeung says:
::smirks:: Waiter: Sure, I'll have a coke.
MO_Powers says:
::gets in a TL and goes up to deck 2 to check out the dinner room::
Lounge Waiter says:
::nods at the CMO and raises his eyebrows at the CTO:: CTO: A what -- ?
CMO_Naegle says:
CTO: I'm doing great, I haven't done so much of nothing in my whole life! ::chuckles::
Mr. Smith Gluon says:
::walks off and stops by to talk with another Majestic staff:: Jones: How are arrangements going?
FCO_Terman says:
::meanders into a holodeck:: Self: Entertainment!
EO_Tana says:
::stands just inside the door, looking carefully around. having a droid with him, he's expecting a bartender to shout "We don't serve their kind here" any minute::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::tugs at his jacket and slips into a pair of finely polished shoes and is out the door again toward a turbolift::
Jones says:
Smith: all going as planned, Mr. Smith
CTO_Yeung says:
::sighs:: Waiter: Never mind. A hot chocolate then.
FCO_Terman says:
::looks at the list of holoprograms::
Lounge Waiter says:
::nods a little more understandingly:: CTO: Very well ... ::saunters off ... his pride a little hurt::
MO_Powers says:
::enters deck 2 and has a look around::
EMMA says:
::follows Kavli into the larger lounge, taking note of power distribution points, access terminals, and ambient operating temperature::
CO_Linard says:
CTO/CMO: SO how are things with you both?...::eyes Jon curiously then looks away::
FCO_Terman says:
Self: Boring, boring, too long, too work-like, not interested, boring, too long...
OPS_Sorsion says:
::walks into the turbolift:: TL: Deck Two. ::folds his hands behind his back awaiting the TL's arrival to his desired deck::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: I'm doing fine. Just never had a vacation like this before. I don't quite know what to do.  Any suggestions?
FCO_Terman says:
Self: Bah! ::walks out, disgusted, and continues meandering::
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: Pretty well. Getting a lot of sleep at night. ::chuckles::
CO_Linard says:
CMO: I hear you ... I keep trying to avoid the bridge ... I've already been there twice ... I think the Captain is getting annoyed with me ... I keep sitting in his chair..
Gluon says:
ACTION: The Majestic enters Caprica system and slows to impulse, heading for the center of the system, the ternary. One star is a blue giant, the second one a yellow G-type star and the third, a neutron star. The combination is quite unique and quite a sight for anyone looking through the numerous viewports of the Majestic
MO_Powers says:
Self: pretty nice. ::gets back in the TL and goes down to the lounge on deck 5::
CO_Linard says:
::shoots the CTO a look, but smiles anyway:: CO: Yes, well, I know how you feel ... I'm getting quite a bit of rest too ...
CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: CO: Well, I haven't been to this ship's equivalent of Sickbay yet. So I'm not quite that bad. What have you done for leisure?
EO_Tana says:
::approaches the table just as the odd combination of blue-gold light washes in through the long, open viewports:: CO/CTO/CMO: Excuse me, sirs?
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: Good to hear, captain, good to hear. ::smiles::
FCO_Terman says:
::feels the ship slow down rather slowly:: Ship: Slug. ::shakes his head::
CTO_Yeung says:
::turns to EO:: EO: Oh, hey there, Tana. How are you doing?
CO_Linard says:
CMO: Aside from bugging the Captain? Nothing ... but Ky brought along his rock climbing program ... I'm dying to try that out ....
CMO_Naegle says:
;:looks up:: EO: Hi Kavli!
OPS_Sorsion says:
::steps off the TL and walks over to the dining room not spotting many crewmen there.. :: Self: Maybe some coffee before the dinner... ::gets right back on the TL and looks at a directory of the ship:: TL: Deck Five.
MO_Powers says:
::enters the lounge and heads towards the bar::
CO_Linard says:
::looks up at the EO and grins:: EO: Mr Tana! Please have a seat!
EO_Tana says:
::smiles a little, but hesitates:: All: I'm not sure, sir. Senior officers and all.
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Have you ever been rock climbing?  For real, I mean?
Capt_Adama says:
::enter the lounge on Deck 5, greeting several Bolian and Haillian dignitaries present::
CO_Linard says:
::waves him off:: EO: Oh don't be silly ... there aren't any titles on vacation ...
CO_Linard says:
CMO: Yes, lots of times... I love it.... have you ever tried it?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::steps off the TL and heads over to the lounge spotting crewmen left and right::
CTO_Yeung says:
EO: Oh come on, no need to be like that.
FCO_Terman says:
::bumps into another passenger:: Passenger: I'm terribly sorry. :puts his hands in his pockets adding another piece of latinum.::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: No, I can't say that I have.
EO_Tana says:
::meets Commander Yeung's eyes and then sits off to the side::
CO_Linard says:
::grins:: CMO: Then would you like to try it with me? I'd love to have some company
CTO_Yeung says:
EO: So, how have you been enjoying your vacation?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::walks into the Lounge and spots the captain and walks over:: CO: Captain Linard, how does this evening find you.
MO_Powers says:
::orders a beer and sees the crew gathered across the lounge.::
Capt_Adama says:
::moves through the crowd, nodding at envoys and ambassadors and people he never think he'll see again::
CMO_Naegle says:
::thinks it over and decides it sounds good:: CO: Sure, but don't you want to go with Ky ... I mean Commander Storal?
EO_Tana says:
::eye flickers from the tablecloth:: CTO: Truthfully, sir? I'm not cut out for downtime.
CO_Linard says:
::looks behind her and sees Mark:: OPS: I'm fine thank you... a little drier..
Lounge Waiter says:
::saunters up to the table and brings the CO, CTO and CMO their drinks::
FCO_Terman says:
::heads to a turbolift::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::blushes a bit and clears his throat:: CO: You do know that was an accident, we've talked about this. ::smiles::
CTO_Yeung says:
::wags his finger at the EO:: EO: Well, you better start getting good at it. It's the only way you'll stay sane. ::chuckles::
CTO_Yeung says:
::takes his drink and thanks the waiter::
CO_Linard says:
::smiles:: OPS: If that's what you say....::eyes him curiously::
Capt_Adama says:
::approaches what appears to be a group of Starfleet officers:: All: greetings, I'm Captain Adama
EO_Tana says:
::lowers his voice a little so it won't carry and leans over:: CTO: I'm thinking of asking the Captain for permission to borrow one of this ship's long range craft to head back. I mean, with all the systems they're putting in, I should be there.
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles at the waiter as he hands her the brandy:: Waiter: Thank you.
FCO_Terman says:
::hops in the turbolift, his pockets significantly heavier::
CO_Linard says:
::leans in closer:: CMO: He had to leave a few days ago ... sickness in the family
EO_Tana says:
::looks up quickly at the new person's arrival, feeling like he's gotten caught::
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Yes ma'am, sure do. ::glances up at Adama and nods:: Adama: Lt. Mark Sorsion.
CO_Linard says:
::looks up and sees the Captain... holds out her hand:: Adama: Hello, Captain. We meet again
Capt_Adama says:
OPS: A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sorsion. I take it your trip is going smoothly?
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks up and nods to the new arrival:: Adama: Hi. Cmdr. Jon Yeung.
FCO_Terman says:
::looks at the map of the ship in the TL:: Self: lounge, lounge, lounge, lounge... Ah!  Computer: Deck 5, on the double!
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods in a manner that may be perceived as a bow:: Adama: Sir, yes sir.  And yours?
EO_Tana says:
::sits back, away from the conversation, and places his hand down on Emma's cold head::
Capt_Adama says:
::his eyes brighten at seen Kathleen:: CO: Ah, Capt Linard. Yes, we meet again. Unfortunately that's less than I'd like, but nice anyway
MO_Powers says:
::takes his drink and moves to a table a bit away from the crew::
CO_Linard says:
Adama: Well if you'd like some company on the bridge... just give me a call....
EO_Tana says:
::glances over at Powers and raises both eyebrows slightly, wrinkling his spots::
FCO_Terman says:
::TL doors open and Jordan heads to the lounge::
Capt_Adama says:
OPS: A Captain's duty never ends ::smiles at Linard:: But I'm doing fairly well. The Majestic is a nice ship
CO_Linard says:
::senses some uneasiness in the group and finds the EO.... gives him a reassuring smile::
Capt_Adama says:
CO: Note that I'll hold you to that...Captain ::grins::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::raises his eyebrow and nods understandingly:: Adama: I wouldn't know about that. ::smiles:: Being a captain I mean, I'm just a Lieutenant.
CTO_Yeung says:
::takes a sip of his drink::
FCO_Terman says:
::enters the lounge, his pockets clinking contentedly, reciting in his head 'I got it while gambling, I got it while gambling...::
EO_Tana says:
::returns the smile tentatively and stroke's the robot's head lightly with his fingertips for reassurance::
Capt_Adama says:
OPS: Well, time will surely take care of that.
CO_Linard says:
::senses something from Adama and remains quiet::
Lounge Waiter says:
::approaches the group:: All: may I be of service?
OPS_Sorsion says:
Adama: I hope you are correct, sir.  ::smiles::
MO_Powers says:
::has a sip of his drink::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::glances at the waiter:: Waiter: Tall Latte, heavy on the cream. ::smiles::
FCO_Terman says:
::notices the crewmembers and the captain, and moseys on over::
Lounge Waiter says:
::take notes of orders and zaps way to get them::
Capt_Adama says:
CO/All: If you'll excuse me for now. I have to check back with my first officer, Cmdr Starbuck before the dinner
Capt_Adama says:
::in private:: CO: I hope to see you there ::winks::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods to Adama::
FCO_Terman says:
::sits down in the closest free seat to the group:: All: I hope I'm not late.
CO_Linard says:
::sips her drink and smiles as she sees Jordan approach the table:: FCO: Hello Jordan... have a seat!
CTO_Yeung says:
::waves at Adama::
Capt_Adama says:
::nods and walks away::
CO_Linard says:
::nods at Adama and senses even more::
EO_Tana says:
::takes the glass of water from the table before him and has a sip::
CO_Linard says:
EO: So Mr. Tana, tell me. How did you come up with the idea for Emma? She's remarkable
OPS_Sorsion says:
::glances at the chronometer and then to the Captain:: CO: What time were we supposed to be at the Dining Hall?
EO_Tana says:
::swallows heavily:: CO: Ma'am? Uh.. ::looks at Yeung for help:: She's just something.. I guess I tinker in my spare time when I'm off-duty, Captain.
Capt_Adama says:
ACTION: The Majestic is really closer to the ternary system now. The starscape is something...
CTO_Yeung says:
::is silently amused at Tana's squirming::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::holds up a hand from the light spewing in from the windows:: Self: Too bright.
CO_Linard says:
::looks at the clock:: OPS: Not just yet, Mark.... in about an hour
MO_Powers says:
::looks out the portholes at the starscape::
FCO_Terman says:
::notices the ternary system and wishes he had a shuttle to fly up nice and close and get an excellent view... but that'd be considered work and he's not aloud to do that::
FCO_Terman says:
::and the ship'd probably leave without him::
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: An hour? Mister Smith told me about fifteen minutes ago that I had 30 minutes... A time distortion between decks sir?
CO_Linard says:
::senses his uneasiness:: EO: Well I have to say she's a piece of work in it's greatest.... do you do a  lot of things like that as a hobby?
Capt_Adama says:
ACTION: a slight shudder can be felt.
CO_Linard says:
OPS: Really? ::looks at the clock again::... hmm.. maybe I'm wrong....
FCO_Terman says:
::notices the shudder and looks around:: All: what was that?
EO_Tana says:
::prays to all he spotted gods of Trill to be saved from being sociable, then feels the bump:: Self: It works!
OPS_Sorsion says:
::lowers both his eyebrows and wonders what's going on:: CO: Captain? Wrong? Not likely... What was that?
CTO_Yeung says:
::feels the shudder:: All: Hmm.. I thought this was supposed to be a smooth ride...
CO_Linard says:
::watches the table vibrate slightly and grabs her drink::
EO_Tana says:
::listens to the vibration:: CTO: Level 2 gravitational shear?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::gives a heads up to the CTO:: CTO: It is.
Mr. Smith says:
::passing by the table:: CTO: It must be nothing. Probably the gravitational wake of the stars
CO_Linard says:
::looks out the window:: ALL: Someone might be getting too close to those stars
CTO_Yeung says:
::takes a look out the window::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Lights flicker ... briefly
FCO_Terman says:
::knows what a gravitational wake feels like and this is not it:: Mr Smith: That's not a gravitational wake...
OPS_Sorsion says:
::would stand up but is already standing:: Smith: Where is your bridge?
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks around warily:: Self: Danger sense...tingling...
Mr. Smith says:
FCO: And how do you know that?
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Lights go off and on several times
FCO_Terman says:
Mr Smith: Lets say I've ridden a few wakes before and I know what they feel like.
CO_Linard says:
::lays a hand on OPS's arm:: OPS: Now now, Mark. I'm sure the crew on the bridge can do their job....
MO_Powers says:
::looks up at the lights and remembers stories about the Titanic::
EO_Tana says:
::looks up and frowns:: All: Looks like they're having trouble with their power distribution grid..
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Yes but ... I mean, aye sir.  I'd feel better if we knew what was going on though. 
FCO_Terman says:
Mr Smith: It comes with flying every day of your life.
MO_Powers says:
::gets up and moves over to the others for company::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: the Majestic rocks hard to port as if hit by something from the other side. Those unprepared are all thrown around. Lights go off totally. Emergency bulckheads fall in place, physically separating sectors A/B/C/D/E
CO_Linard says:
OPS: It's probably just a little technical difficulty.... nothing to worry about....::successfully hides her own worry and tries to sense concern in the crew::
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: Still, it'd be better ... whoa! ::grabs the table::
EO_Tana says:
::lists to the side and the chair tips over Emma, dumping him on the ground::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: The Majestic begins to drift slowly ... towards the blue giant star in the viewports
FCO_Terman says:
::falls off his chair:: Self: This ship is not behaving.
GreenMan says:
