::stops short when he notices the RAdm, not sure what to do::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::wonders how he's going to get into dress whites when his gear is who knows where::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::laughs::CO: I realize that Ahkayah. But there is a time and a place for everything, and now we are going to be court martialed if we aren't there.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Get me a Saurian Brandy, John, thanks.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
FCO: Just because I have a few more years of service and these nice pretty pips, doesn't mean you have to be stiff.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::laughs and grabs her hands at the wrists:: CO: Now now Kathleen. This isn't the way to make a first impression on our new Boss.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CTO: Now, if you don't mind, I beleive we are still waiting the rest of the command staff, hint, hint.

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::growls a little when he finds them there, and with surprising speed for a large Antican, changes into the confining uniform. He also finds the Captain's orders for this stay and quickly heads for the dinner::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Thanks, Doc.  ::sips her drink:

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
*CO*: Captain, the admiral is beginning to wonder where you and the commander are. Of course, I can't very well say she's playing nookie with her first officer...

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::whispers:: CO: See I told you...we are late.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Raidon: Indeed, however the adventure does not change, as a certain entity has made that clear.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
*CO/XO*: And yes, I know you're there, Ky. I can hear you breathing...heavily....and I don't want to know why.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::feels her colour rise:: *CTO*: Tell him I'm on my way, Commander.

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::Finally sees the Maison a Maire, at least he thinks that's what it is and hesitantly steps inside the door, immediately feeling out of place::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at Ky then pales as her expression drops to that of shock::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::is not sure who to speak to, or even who is who, and begins to feel really, really uncomfortable just standing there::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::walks back to the bar:: Raidon: They'll be here shortly, sir. They were just delayed by . . . uh . . . something (yeah . . .something)....

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: Okay fine, I'm on my way~~~

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CTO: I'm apprised of the situation Commander, please have your crew gather in the private room in the back.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::instinctively closes her mind::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::looks over to the CSO:: CMO: That's a good idea. He looks like he needs a friend.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::walks to the main promenade with the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::knows where she is going next:: CO:Nevermind.. I don't wanna know. ::grins::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods knowingly:: XO: I take it back....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::heads over to the CSO:: CSO: Hi. I'm Lt. John Powers from the Apache. I'm the Doc.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::enters the restaraunt with the CO in tow:: CO: Well I hope he doesn't hold us being late against us.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::sees the restaurant and heads there, letting go of the XO's hand:: XO: Remember to close your mind, Commander. Just like I taught you. Professionalism. ::nods::

CTO: Thank you Commander, I think....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: How's yours?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CEO: Try this, Commander.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: Not at all. You said you were doing this for attention. I told you it was working. Commander Yeung confirmed my suspicions.~~~

::Looks at the Admiral:: Raidon: Sir?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::takes a bite of her meatloaf:: CMO: It's wonderful.  I haven't had a meat loaf this good in ages!

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
Raidon: You going to give me a clue?

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
::is enjoying the meal emmensly and orders a cup of spanish coffee to go with it::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::hears the Admiral, but knows he doesn't dare drink any alcohol right now. It removes his "inhibitions" about eating::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Raidon: I would like another Admiral.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
Raidon: Is it anything like Saurian Brandy?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: Not really, pleasure before business, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::looks over at the CEO:: Self: Someone must want to drown out something. Don't blame him though. He looked pretty shook up after last mission.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: A bit stronger.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::grins:: Raidon: Then I'll try a little bit....

Raidon: So tell me, what part of Betazed did you grow up on?

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::whispers to the CTO:: CTO: Jon..you have a noodle sticking out the side of your mouth... ::grins::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: Betazed City.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
XO: Gaah! Can't waste that! ::picks it, and slides it down his throat::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::looks over at Raidon, measuring what kind of man he is::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::with mouth half full:: XO: So, you enjoying your dinner?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::smiles brightly:: Raidon: Really? That's where I'm from. I spent most of my days in the country just outside of the city actually....

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: Yes it's quite good. A little taste of home doesn't hurt. ::takes another bite of his meal::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: I didn't have that luxury, my parents were politically driven.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Motions to the servant to pour another Romulan Ale::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::takes a taste of the whiskey and coughs at the fumes::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: Mr Terman. I didn't get to before, but congratulations on your promotion. It's well deserved.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at Janet:: OPS: Have you ever had anything as strong as this? ::holds up the whiskey::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::chuckles at the CO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CSO: No, Ensign, it's not.  Enjoy it while you can.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::drinks some of the whiskey::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
OPS: I most certainly will Cmdr. Thank you ::smiles showing his very sharp teeth::

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
XO: Thank you. I'm glad that you think that ::grins as he takes a drink of his coffee and looks over at Raidon:: He's an odd Admiral, isn't he?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::tries a bit of the whiskey and chokes a bit herself:: CO: No, Captain. ::coughs some more:: I haven't.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: Well I don't have to ask you if you enjoy yours.. I can get a workbee to come and help you shovel that in. ::chuckles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::smiles at the CSO after she finishes coughing::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: Indeed. But I haven't made up my mind about him yet.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at Janet and motions to the centerpieces in front of her, dumping her doused whiskey into the pot. Nodding for Janet to do the same::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
XO: *gulp* Sure, that'll let me get a big serving.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::lays her glass to one side and sips her tea trying to clear her pallette::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::For the first time he truly relaxes and sits back enjoying the taste of warm meat and blood in his throat::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::laughs at the CTO:: CTO: Your bad... ::chuckles::

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
XO: His tactic seems to have won the favour of the crew fairly completely. ::thinking, and mine too::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::follows the Captain's lead disreetly::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::finishes her spagetti as if nothing happened::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: Well, Mr. Terman. A nice meal goes a long way. But a measure of a man is the way he does his work...and how he treats others under him.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::polishes off her meat loaf::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Finishes yet another ale and looks about the room::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks around the table at her senior officers, her eyes resting on her new CSO::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: I have something to show you~~~

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
XO: Just pointing it out. ::looks at the more or less contented faces of the crew::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: Oh?~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::lets out a content sigh, and pats his full belly after finishing his meal:: Self: Ahh...that hit the spot.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
Anyone: Can I get some coffee?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
All: If you all will excuse me and the Captain....::motions to the CO::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::looks at his plate and realizes that he'd devoured the whole thing and is just now getting warmed up::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Looks for the servants::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::finishes the last of his meal:: FCO:agreed. The crew does look satisfied. I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but there is usually something that goes along with this...

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ACTION: A servants pours OPS a cup of coffee.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks up at the Admiral then at the crew, nodding as she rises to follow the Admiral::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::raises his glass towards the admiral in acknowledgement::

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
XO: Like a really tough mission? ::grins::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::finishes his curry and a second pint of bitter::

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: Usually.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CMO: So John, still terrorizing your nurses and patients down in sickbay?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
Servant: Thank you. ::takes a drink of the coffee and finds it tasting very good after the whiskey::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Servant: Another Romulan Ale please....make that a double.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ACTION: The CO and Admiral walk out the back door, down a hallway into a room.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO:Mr. Varn. Welcome Aboard. ::extends his hand::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::can sense him hiding something::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CTO: I am Jon. It's the best way to do it... for me.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
Computer: Betazed Alpha.

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
XO: Thank you, Cmdr  ::takes his hand and shakes it::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
:: follows him into the room::

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
::notices the Captain leave:: XO: One might wonder if you could have a bit of competition?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: Where are they going?

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: There is no competition, Mr. Terman.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: I don't know Janet.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ACTION: The walls change to scenary of a beach on Betazed lit up by the moons

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::grins:: CMO: Bet it makes everyone careful, just so they don't have to be treated by you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: Are you worried?

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: Never... ::grins::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::listens to the sounds of the waves:: CO: I've had this added to the Apache files.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Thinks it's time for him to leave and stands ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::smiles at the XO:: XO: I'm glad. How's she been doing physically, anyway?

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
XO: Yeah, and even if you did, you'd probably floor the admiral, just like you floored Yeung.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: She's been doing great.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CTO: It sure does. That reminds me, when were you last in sickbay?

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: ::laughs::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::Her eyes dance with wonder as her home appears before her:: Raidon: I'll have to add it to my personal collection. I have a wonderful program of a hill overlooking Lake Cataria.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: What made you choose the Apache, Ensign?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::grunts:: FCO: He wouldn't have been able to do that, if I wasn't . . . err distracted.

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
::watches the crew and realizes that they truly care about each other, just like a family::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: No more episodes? ::starts thinking like a doctor again for some reason::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: It can be adjusted for surfing, diving, what ever your desires.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Heads for the door, thinking he needs to meditate::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
XO: Well Sir, I wanted to be on a ship that had the ability to take care of herself as well as do exploration and she was available.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CMO: Just recently. Apparently, getting flung into a bulkhead warrants a visit.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: No not since her last one. I haven't seen her this happy since she and I were on Bajor.

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
CTO: ::evil grin:: No doubt you were destracted.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: I'm going to call it a night Kathleen. And please call me Kyle when we're off-duty.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::walks in and takes in her surroundings, smiling warmly:: Raidon: This is beautiful. You've done a wonderful job. I can think of many of my crew who would love this.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: You made the right choice. Glad to have you with us.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::smirks at the pilot::

CSO_Ens_Varn says:
XO: The very first starship I saw was a New Orleans Class vessel. Thank you Sir. I won't let you down.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: We could always give it another go on the holodeck. ::smirks::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
Raidon:  You're not going back to the dinner?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::nods:: XO: Sorry to bring it up, and I don't even know why I thought of it. Probably because I've been able to relax and remember what I wanted to catch up on.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Leaves the banquet hall and heads for the ship::

FCO_Lt_Terman says:
XO: As long as you let me watch this time.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: Alas, no. I'm trying to finish a book and I'm getting tired.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
XO: Sure, just be sure to get Doc Powers ready for your sorry carcass. ::grin::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods:: Raidon: I understand. Have a good rest then. ::smiles:: And thank you for treating my crew to a wonderful dinner. They really needed this.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
OPS: No worries Janet. I brought something back for li'l Armen. It's from the Bajoran Zoo. I don't know if he likes stuffed animals. But I saw it and I got it for him.

XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO:: Laughs:: Let's rock.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
XO: Thanks, Ky. I'm sure he will. ::smiles as she thinks of Armen::
