OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::tugging at her collar on her dress white uniform as she begins the trek to the banquet area::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::finishes buttoning up his dress white jacket and pulls the bottom to straighten it:: Self: There is nothing like wearing the whites ::grins::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Finishes dressing and wonders why the party::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::walks slowly down the hall, fuming over what kind of meeting could possibly hold up their search now::

SO_Jaminez says:
::Looks over dress whites one more time:: Self: Every time I wear this thing I spill something on it.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
:: stands in his quarters on the starbase looking at a mirror::  Self: Tonight is the night.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
::finishes dressing and looks in the mirror to make sure her creases are straight::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::heads to the meeting hall::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Sits and looks once more at the shield up-grade designs in front of him::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::brushes down his dress whites and heads to the banquet area, clutching his head::

TO_T`rget says:
::wishes the party was on Betazed so everyone would be naked::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::tries not to be grumpy but can't help it::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::enters the banquet area still tugging at her collar:: Self: I hate the dress uniform!

TO_T`rget says:
::enters to meeting hall staring at the feemales grinning::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
:: Sets his PADD on his desk and rises to head for this party::

SO_Jaminez says:
::steps out of the room and heads for the turbolift:: Self: Let's see if I can break that streak.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
:: Heads for the Turbo lift::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::looks over at Shara:: CTO: You ready for the party? You're last chance to back out.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::enters the banquet room and heads for the bar::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::grabs a glass of champagne off of one of the trays and surveys his surroundings::

TO_T`rget says:
::hopes they have some "Slugo cola"::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Heads for the gang way::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: turns and smiles :: Raidon: I'm ready and not a chance I'd back out. :: walks over to him ::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::walks up to the bar as she sees the captain heading that way:: CO: Hello, Captain.  How are you faring?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::enters the banquet room and cringes at the sound of the crowd::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::REALLY wants to drink tonight but knows she can't and orders an herbal tea... hoping that it really tastes like a good strong Saurian Brandy::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::holds arm out to take Shara's:: CTO: Shall we Imzadi?

SO_Jaminez says:
::slowly walks toward the banquet::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Walks down the gangway and heads for the Banquet room::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: beams at him and takes his arm :: Raidon: Indeed we shall.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
Bartender: Hey Bartender, can I get a soft drink please?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at Janet with a wry grin:: OPS: Well I could lie and say that I'm fine, but Betazoids don't usually make it a habit of lying. So, I guess I would have to say I'm pretty lousy right now....

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ACTION: Raidon and Telgar leave the Admiral's quarters and heads toward the Banquet Hall.

Bartender says:
OPS: A soft drink? I suppose.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CO: What's wrong, Ma'am?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CTO: I'm a bit nervous.

TO_T`rget says:
OPS: May I recommend a "Slugo Cola"? I find it quite refreshing myself. ::smiles and shows pointed teeth::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Enters the Banquet room::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::sits down slowly at the bar and tries not to make any quick movements with his head::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: nods :: Raidon: So am I, Imzadi. So am I.

SO_Jaminez says:
::enter the banquet and looks around the room::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::waves her hand in dismissal:: OPS: Just a combination of everything Janet. The inquiry, that brat of a Councilman's son and to top it all off, I've just spent the last 6 hours of my time on Earth listening to my mother gripe about Ky......

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::smiles tentatively:: TO: That's okay. I'll stick with my original order.

TO_T`rget says:
OPS: So what's a gorgeous lady like you doing in a place like this? ::grins::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::shakes head:: CO: I'm sorry, Captain. And dressing in dress whites doesn't help matters any, does it?

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::stakes out a good place and stands with his hands behind his back::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Heads for the bar and orders himself a tall Romulan Ale::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::motions for Shara to walk thru the arches of the Baquet Hall::  CTO:  Ladies first

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
TO: I was ordered to come here, how about you?

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: nods and preceeds Raidon into the hall ::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::smiles and lays her hand on her arm, patting it:: OPS: Thanks Janet, but no....::adds muttering:: and this ball is just another excuse to delay things if you ask me...

TO_T`rget says:
::grins:: OPS: Same here... but since I have feasted my eyes on such a beauty as yourself I am happy.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CTO: I need to talk with Kathleen, mingle and I'll find you shortly.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::gathers up his Ale and finds a nice quiet table::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::whispers:: CO: How do I get rid of this jerk? ::points to the TO::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::raises her eyebrow at the TO and leans into Janet:: OPS: I'll see you later. I need to sit for a while, you know, get off my feet.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CO: I understand.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
Raidon: Of course. :: walks off ::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CTO: Missing you already.~~~

SO_Jaminez says:
::heads for the bar and orders a Crown Royal:: Self: Just one, then I take it easy.

TO_T`rget says:
::hears Naegle:: OPS: Why don't you go out with me? ::points to his ears:: Careful my dear... I hear all ::grins::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
~~~ Raidon: It will be an eternity. ~~~

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
TO: Let's get one thing straight, buddy. I'm not going out with you, ever! Okay???

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::gives Janet's arm a little pat and heads off to find a nice little secluded place where she can gaze out the window::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::walks around 'til he sees Captain Linard at at table near the window::

TO_T`rget says:
OPS: I'll take that as a "maybe".

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::walks over to Janet:: OPS: Is this man bothering you?

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::wonders what would happen if she hauled off and punched the jerk::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: looks around and spots the CEO and walks over :: CEO: Commander.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Just a bit, John. Can you do something?

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Lieutenant !

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::looks around and sees that every starship's crew is in attendance:: Self:Whatever this is its pretty darn important.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO:  Hello Kathleen. You look a bit down.....

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
CEO: Mind if I join you?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Sure thing Janet. TO: I suggest you move along before you're moved along.

TO_T`rget says:
CMO: I am simply showing my interest in the beautiful creature. You must admit she is such a beauty... yes ??  ::grins::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Motions for the chair to his left:: CTO : By all means

SO_Jaminez says:
Self: Look at all the brass walking around here. ::slowly heads for the far end of the room::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::still staring out the window:: Raidon: I'm fine Kyle... all things considered....

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: sits :: CEO: Thanks. This is all quite overwhelming isn't it?

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Let's go find another place to stand, or sit, shall we?  It's getting a little crowded over here.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: Perk up then or else I won't let you see the PADD.~~~

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::shoots him a sidelong glance:: Raidon: What is it? Another deterrant? Something else to keep me from being out there?? ::motions to the window::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: It is something. Just what it is I do not know

TO_T`rget says:
::sighs:: OPS: You do not know what you are missing!  ::grins and strenghens his chest muscles::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::hands Linard a PADD:: CO: Just look at it.

Imoen says:
::walks up to the CO and taps her on the shoulder:: CO: Hello Captain Linard. ::grins::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Yeah, good idea.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
CEO: I mean all these people. I've never did like big crowds.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
TO: Believe me, I know!  CMO: Let's go, John.  ::begins walking away::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::takes the padd but doesn't look as she wheels around and looks at the young girl:: Imoen: Imy! ::gasp of surprise::

SO_Jaminez says:
::listens to the conversation between the OPS and TO and begins to chuckle::

Imoen says:
::grins widely:: CO: How have you been holding up?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::walks away with Janet::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::glances at the Admiral:: Imoen: Good.... I... guess.... what about you?.....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: I'm quite glad that didn't develop into anything. I have a splitting headache.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: tugs at her collar :: CEO: And could they make these whites any more uncomfortable?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: One was reported as Bajoran.~~~

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: I prefer the company of a good book and soft music myself

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: The nerve of some species.

TO_T`rget says:
::waggles his eyebrows at the CTO::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Comfort is a state of mind.

Imoen says:
CO: Well work has been pretty hectic as of late, so I haven't had much free time. Engineers hardly have free time. ::grins and looks at Admiral Raidon:: I hope I'm not interrupting?

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: ignores the TO :: CEO: Me too.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::smiles weakly:: Raidon/Imoen: I'm sorry.... Admiral Raidon, this is Storal Imoen....:: shoots a sharp look at the Admiral as she hears his words in her mind::..... she's my..... I mean... Commander Storal's sister.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Your whites fit you rather well I think.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
Imoen: Hello.

Imoen says:
Raidon: Hello Sir.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
CEO: Thank you Commander. But, they are still uncomfortable.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: I still can't believe what I heard. Those have got to be the oldest and cheesiest chat-up lines I have ever heard.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Indeed

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::feels a little weak in the knees:: Raidon/Imoen: I need to sit down... ::sits in the nearest chair::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: I agree, but that idiot was persistent. So, why the headache? Drinking again?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: As soon as the party finishes, the Apache will go and investigate.

Imoen says:
::sits down next to the CO:: CO: I take it that things didnt go well at the inquiry?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Yeah. While I was on Earth. I seem to remember drinking with some Russians and then... blank.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Would you care for another drink?

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
CEO: I'd love one, thanks.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::Ramsey looks over at SO Jaminez:: SO: I take it you don't like these functions?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::shakes her head, trying to rid herself of Raidon's thoughts:: Imoen: Well, it was obvious right from the start that they wanted my head, but when the crew backs you up 100%, I don't think it's very easy for them to hang you ::smirks::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Hopefully, it was just alcolhol that made you go blank and not something else.

SO_Jaminez says:
XO: In all seriousness sir.....Not really.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: I have something else to talk to you about as well, a bit more personal~~~

SO_Jaminez says:
XO: How about you sir?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: I hope so too ::laughs then cringes at the pain::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::nods to the SO:: SO: I see, I'd rather not be here. But If I must...then I must.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Raises his hand for the barkeep::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: Okay, I'll find you later then~~~

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Barkeep: One more Romulan ale for me and one for the lady here

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::laughs with the CMO:: Well, I wonder when this shindig is going to get interesting.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
Imoen:  Would you mind if I steal Captain Linard for just a minute?

Imoen says:
CO: Well of course you have the best crew. ::grins::

TO_T`rget says:
::downs another "Sluggo Cola"::

Imoen says:
::looks up at Raidon:: Raidon: Of course not Sir.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: nods ::

SO_Jaminez says:
XO: I agree sir. It seems to make the big brass happy to have these things. Maybe if I ever get to that rank I'll understand why.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods:: Imoen: I do.... ::looks at the Admiral and then to Imoen::.... just give me a second, Imy....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Is it meant to?

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: Just a minute please, Kathleen.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Takes his ale as the barkeep pours the Lieutenant another drink::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods and gets up to follow the Admiral::

Imoen says:
::winks and grins at the CO::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: picks up her drink and sips :: CEO:  Thanks.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
SO: Trust me...You'll never understand it. ::chuckles and hands the SO a beer::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::walks to an isolated corner::

SO_Jaminez says:
::takes the beer:: XO: Thank you sir.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Downs his Romulan Ale::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: I want your permission and approval of something~~~

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: We can't have another totally benign dinner.  It's just not natural.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
SO: What ship do you serve on?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::smug grin:: ~~~Raidon: If you're talking about dating my Chief Tactical Officer, then you don't really need to ask that~~~

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: It's a bit more than dating.~~~

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Raidon seems like the kind of guy who likes benign dinners.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: takes another sip and looks up to see where Raidon and the CO are ::

SO_Jaminez says:
XO: I'm stationed here on the station sir. I've been trying to get on a ship, but I haven't been assigned to one yet.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Yes, he does. He always has a good spread. But I just can't help but think something's going to go wrong.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: Well, I know that. It just seemed the right way to put it right now but don't you think it's a bit late to be asking me if you're already calling her Imzadi?~~~

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: You know how bonding goes, it just happens sometimes.~~~

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Lieutenant, where do you see yourself 10 years from now?

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
SO: Well trust me, You cant ask for a better ship than the Apache. I have been onboard for only a few weeks and its the best ship and crew I've seen.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Like on the cruise ship?

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Yeah. Like on the cruise ship.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ACTION:  An announcement goes out telling all non-senior officers of the Apache to report to their stations.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::raises her eyebrows:: ~~~Raidon: It does. And I'm sure you'll agree that you can't help who you fall in love with.~~~

SO_Jaminez says:
XO: You know how red tape flows sir. I think sometimes it goes backwards.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
SO: Agreed.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: As soon as I'm done, the Apache will get underway.~~~

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: looks up as the announcment rings through the hall ::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: Good.... I was starting to lay down plans to go get him single handedly.~~~

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
~~~CO: And thank you Kathleen.~~~

SO_Jaminez says:
::watches the non-senior officers start to pile out:: XO: I wish I was going with you, sir.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Can I buy you a drink Janet?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
~~~Raidon: No thanks needed... you don't have to be Betazoid to see how you both feel about each other~~~

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
CO: Now to get things rolling.....

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Please do. But nothing too strong.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
:: Raises his eyebrow:: Self: What now?

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: begins to fidgit, wondering how it's going with Raidon and the CO ::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::leaves the Admiral and heads back to Imoen::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
SO: I know. You will get your shot soon enough. Keep fighting. ::grins and tilts his beer towards the SO::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Would you like anything particular?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
Imoen: So listen, have you been talking with your Mom lately?...:;grins::

SO_Jaminez says:
::Tilts his beer and finishes it off:: XO: I hope so sir.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: So. Do you know what this is all about?

Imoen says:
CO: No I'm going to call her when my shift is up.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: A soft drink, please.

Imoen says:
CO: Well Sir, duty calls. See me before you leave, I have a few of Storal's belongings that I think you should have.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
CEO: I think I have an idea, but, I'd get flayed if I told.  :: smiles ::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CTO: Indeed.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Senses that she knows a lot more than she lets on::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::grins even wider:: Imoen: Will do. Tell your Mom I said "Hi" won't you? ::pats her arm:: See you, Immy....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
Bartender: I'd like a glass of still water and a soft drink for the lady.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::walks up a few steps where a podium was set up and nods to a Commander::

TO_T`rget says:
::winks at the OPS officer::

Imoen says:
CO: Will do. ::grins and waves bye::

Bartender says:
::cocks an eyebrow at the order:: CMO: Coming right up.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::raises eyebrow:: CMO: What, no Guiness for you, John?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks up at the Podium and at the Admiral::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: May I have your attention please?

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::looks up at the Admiral::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Not with a hangover like the one I have.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: looks at Raidon ::

SO_Jaminez says:
::turns towards the podium::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::laughs and looks up at the podium::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Looks at the Admiral::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: Tonight is a glorious night......And I have news to share with all of the fleet of Sector 1121.

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: Captain Linard, will you join me up on the mock stage?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::picks up the drinks and hands Janet her softdrink::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::watches all eyes fall on her as she heads to the podium::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::takes the drink from John and takes a sip::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ACTION:  A Commander walks over the Raidon with something covered in a cloth.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::stands next to the Admiral::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: We are here tonight to celebrate the highest honor that can bestowed to a ship.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: smiles ::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::short of reading his mind, wonders what's up::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: Under the guidance of Captain Kathleen Linard, the USS Apache has kept Sector 1121 safe and set an example for the fleet.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::looks up at the podium with interest::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: It is with great honor I name the USS Apache the Flagship of Sector 1121 and award Captain Linard the gold plaque to display on the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::claps as the announcement is made::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at the beautiful gold plaque and smiles... a little shocked and surprised::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::smiles and claps::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: applaudes and smiles ::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: As well as grant powers to Captain Linard to command the fleet.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
Self: Joy.. that means Raidon will be on almost every mission.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Sits and looks at the others celebrating::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::sits down as the applauding causes his head to feel like it will explode::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::takes the plaque and looks at it, the gold catching in the light and reflecting in her eyes, feels an uncontrollable surge of emotion overwhelm her::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL:  I believe a few words should be made....::Looks over at the paling Captain::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::thinks "Oh Heavens, I'm too hormonal to be getting something like this now!"::

SO_Jaminez says:
::wonders if he will ever get a transfer to a ship:: Self: Hopefully one day.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::steps up to the podium:: ALL: To my crew of the Apache ::beams at them all:: I had hoped we'd all get something like this. You are a remarkable crew and if it weren't for your dedication ::voice cracks:: and service to me and our ship, we wouldn't be here.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::smiles at the captain::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: smiles even bigger if that is possible ::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::bites back the emotion and holds up the plaque:: ALL: This isn't just me, Apache, this is all of you too... ::feels the lump in her throat swell and knows she can't say anymore as she smiles at the crew::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::smiles at the Captain's praise::

TO_T`rget says:
::wonders if he can transfer over to the USS Apache::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: I have something else to add to the celebration......

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks to the Admiral to add to her words and steps aside::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
ALL: As happy as I am about naming the Apache the Flagship of this sector, I could be made even happier if my Imzadi would grant me the honor of marrying her.

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: eyes go wide and jaw drops ::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::looks over at the CTO::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::smirks and looks at the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
Self :So that's why he has an interest in the Apache. Very interesting....

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::looks at the CTO to gauge her reaction::

SO_Jaminez says:
Self: Didn't see that coming.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: That was a shock, huh?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CTO: Well... ????

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: slowly stands, trying to make her feet move ::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Umm... yeah it was.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::nods and continues to sip her drink waiting for the CTO to answer::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
Raidon:  I......I......I.......I....Yes!

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Downs his double shot of Romulan ale::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::breaks into applause:: CTO/Raidon: Congratulations both of you!

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: They have not known each other very long have they?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::applauds and pats the Admiral on the back::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: finds that her feet will now move and rushes to Raidon::

Host RAdm_Raidon says:
::wipes the sweat from his forehead with a hankerchief::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::gets out of the way before the CTO bowls her over::

CTO_Ltjg_Telgar says:
:: hugs him and then hits him on the shoulder :: Raidon: You could have warned me.
