::looks around::

TO_Hembrook says:
::Shows up 10 minutes early and finds a seat... waits...::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::he rubs his eyes, as he stands in the turbolift, heading up towards the lounge:: Self: I should have taken that nap... or maybe popped a caffeine pill or something.

CSO_Marsland says:
::arrives at the lounge and looks around as the others start to arrive::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: walks into the lounge whistling as he walks.  Takes a seat near the front ::

XO_Naegle says:
::walking into the lounge seeing those who have already arrived and nods::

RAdm Linard says:
::finishes nursing Tajara and places him on her shoulder for a little burp::

MO_Turok says:
::Limps into the lounge after a good day of klingon holodeck programs::

CNS_Solaa says:
::strolls in and looks around::

CNS_Solaa says:
::walks over to the TO:: TO: Gina! You're... early?

XO_Naegle says:
::sees Tom:: CSO: Tom!  How are you?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::the doors slide open, almost in slow motion, as Baran takes a few small steps and walks out into the corridor:: Self: Where the hell is the lounge... oh. ::he walks up to the door and strolls in, looking about the room::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods to the CNS as she passes:: CNS: Counsellor.

CMO_Powers says:
::brushes some dried blood off his uniform and enters the lounge::

Jerlina Linard says:
::sweeps into the room and stands next to her daughter:: Well, that's one down and sleeping... is this one done now?

CNS_Solaa says:
CEO: Oh, hi Commander!

TO_Hembrook says:
CNS: I'm always early if I can help it Ryn.

CSO_Marsland says:
::notices Janet:: XO: I'm good, and you?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands at the back of the room, watching the assembled crew interact with one another::

RAdm Linard says:
::gives her mother an awkward look:: Mom: Yes, just let me get him to... ::hears the baby burp::... ahh.. there we go...

CNS_Solaa says:
::sees the CMO enter and waves:: CMO: John! Over here!

Host CO_Storal says:
::walks into the room and sees the dragon...er Mother-in-Law next to his wife:: Kathleen: We don't want to be late Ahkayah. ::grins::

CMO_Powers says:
::heads over to sit by Ryn:: CNS: Good day Counsellor. ::smiles warmly::

Jerlina Linard says:
::holds out her arms:: Kathleen: Leave him to me, dear. You go to your little meeting..... I'll comm you if I need you.

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: Good.  When do you think is a good time to go and see the Captain and Admiral?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::closes his eyes and takes a seat; he then quickly spins in his seat after noticing the CEO standing... away:: CEO: Must you stand away like that? ::smiles weakly::

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Maybe after the meeting, not real sure.  Whenever I guess.

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs and gives the CMO a small hug:: TO/CMO: So what is all the hoopla about the Captain and the Admiral, eh?

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: We should do it while we still have them together.

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: I agree.  After the meeting then?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: I am not comfortable .... sitting.

RAdm Linard says:
:: nods to her husband:: Mom: If you can't manage, just let me know okay? They're only two days old....

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: Agreed.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Which hoopla are you referring to love err... Lt?

Host CO_Storal says:
Kathleen: I think she can handle things.. She raised you well enough ::grins::

CNS_Solaa says:
::gasp in surprise:: CMO: You don't mean... ::squeals in delight:: She had the twins!!!

Jerlina Linard says:
::scoffs:: CO/Kathleen: Honestly, you'd swear I never raised children before. Kathleen, I can handle a baby.... ::blinks as she and her son-in-law actually agree on something::

TO_Hembrook says:
CNS: Don't look at me ... I'm just an Ensign. The only thing I'm qualified for is to hold down the carpet of the section of deck plate I'm standing on, and make sure the air recycler has something to do for the shift I'm standing.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::groans softly, and stands up, making his way for the replicator:: CEO: Whatever suits you, I guess... I hope no one minds if I get some tea or something... want anything?

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Hey, wow. I didn't say that. I know nothing... that I'm willing to disclose.

Host CO_Storal says:
All: By the Emmissary. That won't happen again. ::grins::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: No thank, Lieutenant. You look .... unwell.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: gets up and walks over to the CEO: CEO:qaSuj'a' ra'wI'

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::raises his lips in a snarl - an approximation to a human grin::

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Well, I'm the LAST to know, I'm sure... I've been in your blasted sickbay!

RAdm Linard says:
::looks from her husband and her mother and sighs:: CO: Let's go... ::fixes the front of her uniform and links into her husband to steady herself::

CMO_Powers says:
TO: I think you need a bit more pressure on that bit of carpet you're on Ens.

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: So, you have any idea what all of this is about?

Host CO_Storal says:
::whispers:: Kathleen: Are you ready for this? If not there's still time to change your mind.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks over, and gives the CEO a small smirk:: Replicator: Jasmine tea. Hot. ::he grabs the cup, his hand trembling slightly, as he takes a sip:: CEO: Well... I had the oddest experience yesterday in the holodeck... and I couldn't sleep all evening. Ahh... ::takes another sip::

TO_Hembrook says:
CMO: I'll take that under advisement and modify my diet Sir.

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::walks into the lounge to see the crew of the Apache congregating::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to the the CTO:: CTO: Duj tiVoch! Do you speak Klingon, Mr. Grey-feather?

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I'm her doctor so I should be the first to know. Hell, I even knew what she was carrying before she did.

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: No, I don't.

TO_Hembrook says:
All: Admiral on deck!

TO_Hembrook says:
::Stands at attention::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands at attention::

CSO_Marsland says:
::whirls to see someone unfamiliar enter, and stands at attention::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Yes I do commander fluently, my roommate at the academy was a Klingon warrior

MO_Turok says:
::Snaps to attention::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::quickly slams his glass onto the table, spilling a little bit on his hand, and he stands at attention, trying very hard not to scream...::

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs:: CMO: Well, you should! TO: Oh, and don't pay any mind to--oh? ::is silent as the Admiral comes::

RAdm Linard says:
::sniffles, still raging with overactive hormones:: CO: Ky, you don't ask me that after giving birth two days ago...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::turns and snaps to attention::

XO_Naegle says:
::standing at Attention::

CMO_Powers says:
::stands up slowly and looks over to the admiral::

Host CO_Storal says:
Kathleen: You're right, I'm sorry ::gives her hand a squeeze::

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::looks around and speaks in a thick British accent:: ALL: At ease. We're not ready to start yet.. you can go about your business until the Captain and his wife get here

TO_Hembrook says:
::Relaxes and sits::

CSO_Marsland says:
::hears the Admiral speak, and goes back to his conversation::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::no noticable difference between his at attention and at ease::

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: You recognize her?

XO_Naegle says:
::relaxes:: CSO: Now I'm really confused. Where are Linard and Storal?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::sighs and mutters to herself:: Self: Honestly...

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: We have a new Admiral?

MO_Turok says:
::Walks over and sits next to the TO::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: stands at ease ::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I know as much as you do.

Host CO_Storal says:
::nears entrance to the Lounge:: Kathleen: You did great Ahkayah. I couldn't have dreamed of more perfect boys.

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: No, I have no idea who she is.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::sits down, as he slowly rubs the now cool tea off his hand::

RAdm Linard says:
::smiles:: CO: Well they're half yours too you know... ::nudges him as they walk into the lounge and look at the crew::... but thanks... I couldn't have done it without you there.

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Odd.. you'd think we would know if Command was sending someone out for a visit...

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Well, I guess we should.. mingle.. don't you think?

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: Yes, it is odd.  Well, here comes the happy parents now.

Host CO_Storal says:
::enters the lounge with his wife on his arm, nodding to the rest of the crew as the walk towards the front of the room::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::is about to take another sip of his tea, when he sees the captain and the admiral step into the lounge; he drops his entire glass this time, but it fails to smash on the carpet; he kicks the cup under the table::

TO_Hembrook says:
::Sits quietly, watching::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Commander I wanted to appologize for my actions while we were prisoner, I let being confined get to me.  A warrior should have better control.  I meant you no dishonour

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Guess we should take a seat.. ::motions to a couple of chairs near the front::

XO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CSO: I suppose we should.  ::goes and sits::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::considers Grey-feather for a moment:: CTO: Do not trouble yourself, Lieutenant. I do not like being ..... confined.

CSO_Marsland says:
::takes a seat next to Cmdr. Naegle::

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::looks at the CO and Kathleen as they walk toward her:: CO: Is this your crew? I commend you Captain, they're a well behaved lot...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Thank you sir.  Perhaps you will join me for a Necti before leaving the station

CNS_Solaa says:
TO/CMO: Excuse me for a moment. ::turns and walks over to Baran::

Host CO_Storal says:
Miller: Thank you, Sir. I couldn't dream for a better one.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Necti?

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Hey, you know this new Admiral, Baran?

XO_Naegle says:
::resists the urge to put her arm on the back of Tom's chair::

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::sighs and turns to the podium:: CO: Almost too well behaved really.... would you care to start? ::motions to the Rear Admiral::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::sees Ryn coming over:: CNS: Oh, hello, Ryn. ::he smiles for a couple of seconds:: ... Oh, the admiral? Not a clue.

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Hmmm... Is it true that the Admiral had the twins?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Yes sir, a Klingon beverage.  K`Vas introduced me to it.  A warrior's drink he said

RAdm Linard says:
::nods and eases herself up to the podium:: Miller: Thank you Admiral... :;watches as the CO and the Admiral take a seat::

Host CO_Storal says:
Self: This should be fun ::sits down in his chair::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: It seems we are about to begin .....

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: Twins?? ::lowers his voice:: Twins?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::directs his attention to the podium::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: faces the podium ::

CSO_Marsland says:
::listents to what RAdm Linard has to say::

CNS_Solaa says:
::whispers:: FCO: Well, she said she was pregnant with twins! Two boys!

RAdm Linard says:
::takes a deep breath and looks out at the Apache crew::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: How... how... ::slowly turns to face the admiral:: ... but let's see what she has to... say...

MO_Turok says:
::Attentively listens::

TO_Hembrook says:
::Listens attentively and tries not to stand out::

CNS_Solaa says:
::sits down::

XO_Naegle says:
::turns her attention to the podium::

RAdm Linard says:
All: Greetings and welcome, crew of the USS Apache. First of all, let me congratulate you on an excellent mission. Starfleet will undoubtedly be looking highly upon you for this one and the Hiratte will be most assuredly dealt with.

RAdm Linard says:
ALL: My first item of this evening is to announce my leave from Starfleet.

XO_Naegle says:
::gasps::

CNS_Solaa says:
::gasps:: FCO: Whoa! She DID have kids!

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: Surprised look :: Himself : Wow

CSO_Marsland says:
::surprised:: Self: She's.. leaving us?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: ... Hmm. ::rests his head on his hand:: Wait, what?

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: She's got to look after the kids, Tom.

RAdm Linard says:
::smiles as they all mutter to themselves:: ALL: I'm sure this might not come as a suprise to you, but I do wish to be with my family and raise my children with their father alongside me. So all is not lost as I will be taking up residency on the Apache.

XO_Naegle says:
::tears start to form in her eyes::

CNS_Solaa says:
::exasperated sigh and whispers:: FCO: You didn't KNOW???

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: Ugh, don't whisper so loud... of course I knew... ::smiles::

TO_Hembrook says:
::Listens impassively, still being new, not knowing enough about the situation to form an opinion.::

CSO_Marsland says:
::YAY!::

MO_Turok says:
::Sits indifferently:::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Himself : Uh oh

RAdm Linard says:
ALL: Which brings me to my next item of this evening. The announcement of my successor and the new Sector Command Officer for Sector 1211, Admiral Jo Lene Miller... ::stands back and applauds as she gets to the podium::

XO_Naegle says:
::relaxes:: All: Thank God!

Host CO_Storal says:
::claps as the new boss is announced::

CSO_Marsland says:
::claps::

CNS_Solaa says:
::claps:: FCO: Yay, a new boss!

TO_Hembrook says:
::Renders polite applause, as required by decorum::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::claps his hands the obligitary three times before returning his hands to behind his back::

XO_Naegle says:
::applauds for the new SCO::

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::gets up readily and and moves swiftly to the podium::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: applaudes ::

MO_Turok says:
::Applauding:

CMO_Powers says:
::sits with his arms folded, waiting for the admiral to speak::

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::smiles and holds up her hand:: ALL: Thank you all... I wish RAdm Linard and Captain Storal all the best and all that sort of thing...::clears her throat a little:: Anyway...

MO_Turok says:
::Smiles as he wacthes his new CMO::

XO_Naegle says:
::whispers to Tom:: CSO: Well it looks like we'll have plenty of time to talk to them.

Host Admiral_Miller says:
ALL: You still have another couple of days before orders come in from Starfleet so you better enjoy them while you can.

CSO_Marsland says:
::whispers back:: XO: Sure does.. but should we talk to the new SCO too or what?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
ALL: I'm sure I will get the chance to speak with you all this evening and I look forward to that. Before we let you get on with your dinner, Captain Storal has one more item of business.... ::looks to the CO::

MO_Turok says:
::Wondering what to do for the few days and what the next mission will be::

XO_Naegle says:
::whispers:: CSO: I think so.

Host CO_Storal says:
::nods to the Admiral and makes his way to the podium::

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::hands the Captain a small black velvet box::

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods and listens for the CO to speak::

Host CO_Storal says:
::places both hands on the side of the podium and looks at his crew::

CMO_Powers says:
::moves quickly to sit next to Ryn:: CNS: What are you whispering about over here?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::stands to one side and looks out at the crew::

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Front and center Mr. Marsland...

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Oh, good, I was just coming to get you, but I wasn't sure when to get up... oh, Baran didn't know that the Admiral was having twins!

CSO_Marsland says:
::stands, looking shocked, wondering what he did::

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks to the front of the room and stands next to the Captain::

XO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CSO: Go get 'em, Tiger.

MO_Turok says:
::Watches the new admiral trying to notice any body language::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: Shh, shh... I knew... ::sleepily sticks out his tongue at her, while turning back to watch the CSO::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: So? It isn't that big a deal is it?

CSO_Marsland says:
::grins at the XO's words::

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs and whispers:: FCO: Whatever... Uh-oh! Tom's getting promoted!

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: I wanted to do this privately, but unfortunatly I was ordered to do this malicious thing before everyone.

RAdm Linard says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: I told you your time was coming... didn't I?

CSO_Marsland says:
::Waits to see if the Captain is going to try taking a pip::

CSO_Marsland says:
::smiles at Rear Admiral Linard:: RAdm: Yes... yes you did.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Since rejoining the Apache, all you have done is get yourself on my bad side.....

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks a little confused::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: watches the CSO and the CO::

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Always blurting out suggestions and trying to make me look bad infront of this excellent crew. Second guessing my orders.

Host CO_Storal says:
::grins:: CSO: Keep those suggestions coming.. I'd like all the options coming.

CSO_Marsland says:
::grins::

XO_Naegle says:
::thinking aloud:: All: Why does he do that?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::smiles widely at the CSO::

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: I hereby promote you to the rank of Full Lieutenant with all the rights and privilages that come with it. May the Prophets have mercy on your pagh.

RAdm Linard says:
::grins and winks at the CSO::

Host CO_Storal says:
::hands the CSO the new pip and extends his hand:: CSO: Good job Lieutanant.

XO_Naegle says:
::applauds loudly for the CSO, maybe a bit too loudly::

RAdm Linard says:
CTO/CNS/TO: Thank you..... ::smiles at the XO::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO/Linard : As my father says "May the best day of this year be the worst of the next.  If this is done you will be happier each year "

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: We may never get another chance, Tom.  Let's do it.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO: Thank you Mr. Hembrook. ::grins:: I didnt get a formal chance to welcome you aboard. You can learn a great deal from Mr. Grey-feather. He is one of the best I have had as CTO.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::makes his way over to the buffet, noticing that most of it is human food::

RAdm Linard says:
CTO: Sounds like your father is a very wise man...

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: K, I'm right behind you. ::grins as he lightly pushes Janet towards Admiral Miller and the CO and RAdm::

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: I'll do my best to learn the system Sir.

XO_Naegle says:
Miller/Linard/CO: Excuse us, sirs.  Could we have a word with you?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::moves her way to the MO:: MO: I understand you're new the Apache.. am I right?

Host CO_Storal says:
TO: You will be just fine, Ensign. ::puts a hand on her shoulder:: Your record speaks for itself. I have complete confidince in your ablilites.

RAdm Linard says:
XO: Sure... what's on your mind Janet?

MO_Turok says:
Adm_Miller: Yes, Sir I was just assigned from the academy. I am looking forward to working with you.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Wanders off quietly to get a small plate of food and something to drink::

CSO_Marsland says:
::stands next to the XO, with a serious look on his face::

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: I know you will Big Guy ::slaps him on the back:: Excuse me for a moment. ::walks over next to his wife::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::snorts, as his arms go flying:: CNS: Wha- what? Oh, Ryn, it's you. ::looks around and sees everyone up and about:: Hmm. Ow. That hurt... ::stands:: Actually, I think I am going to eat.

XO_Naegle says:
Linard: Lieutenant Marsland and I would like to speak to you, your husband and the new SCO.  It's very important.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::is standing at the buffet, still deciding whether he can stomach the human food::

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Good, let's go... now where did John go? ::walks toward the food::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Thanks you captain :: grins ::  TO: Join me in something to eat ensign?

TO_Hembrook says:
CTO: Certainly Sir.

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::lets out a chuckle:: MO: Well you won't be working with ME.... well not directly anyway...

CMO_Powers says:
::fills his plate with food before he starts looking for the alcohol::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: You know you can always speak with us Janet. But maybe you should talk with just the two of us before going to Admiral Miller.

MO_Turok says:
TO: Eating again Hembrook. ::Smiling::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::walks over towards the food, and grabs a plate, piling on some food:: CNS: I'm sure he's about... ::smiles:: It's getting pretty serious, hasn't it? ::grins, as he piles on what appears to be pot-stickers...::

XO_Naegle says:
CO: You're probably right, sir.  In fact, I'm not sure Admiral Miller will be as understanding.

RAdm Linard says:
::gives her an odd look and grins micheviously:: XO: Really?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
TO: We are off duty, call me Joshua.  I call my father sir  :: smiles ::

CNS_Solaa says:
::fills up her plate with her usual favorite Earth dishes:: FCO: Serious? How so?

TO_Hembrook says:
MO: Gotta hold down the carpet on the deckplates somehow Turok.

XO_Naegle says:
Linard: Yes, Admiral, really.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::decides not to touch the wishy-washy human food - nothing alive on the table! - and resigns himself to a glass of synthehol::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::slurps up a potsticker:: CNS: I am referring to you and Dr. Powers. ::grins::

XO_Naegle says:
CO/Linard: You both can probably guess what we want to talk to you about.

TO_Hembrook says:
CTO: Sorry... still used to formal address all the time...

Host CO_Storal says:
::grins:: Kathleen: I think I know what this is. They had the same look we did, when we talked to Tyria.

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Oh, well... ::blushes::

XO_Naegle says:
::blushes:: CO/Linard: Any advice?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::looks at the TO as she speaks to the MO while she was speaking with him and coughs slightly:: TO: And you are...? Ensign Hembrook?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::laughs:: CNS: You don't say much, but that's all you need to say. ::takes a couple of rib tips::

CMO_Powers says:
::Finds the bar and orders a large whiskey. Decides to only have one glass, sticking to the promise he mad Ryn.::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
TO: No problem you will have plenty of time for formalites once we are on patrol.  Now lets go see if  there is any barbque on the table.  The cook here is great at it

TO_Hembrook says:
SCO: Yes Sir, Ensign Gina Hembrook, Tactical Officer Sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
::smiles at the CO and Admiral Linard as he lets Janet speak::

MO_Turok says:
::Walks over to the CMO to introduce himself:: CMO: Hello sir I am your new MO, Turok.

CNS_Solaa says:
::sees John at the alcohol table:: FCO: Oh, no... ::storms over to him:: CMO: John Powers, I really hope you are only going to have ONE drink tonight...

Host CO_Storal says:
XO/CSO: First of all let me say this. There is no need to talk to Admiral Miller about this. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you are professional during the course of any said mission. You do what your heart tells you.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Not if I can help it, Counsellor!

RAdm Linard says:
::looks at her husband then at the XO and CSO:: XO/CSO: Just be careful... what goes on behind closed doors is no ones business but yours.... ::glances at Miller::... and if you're thinking of telling her.... don't bother... trust me... she could care less...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::hears the admiral talking to the TO next to him straightens up  ::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO/CSO: That is what Kathleen and myself did.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::walks over to where John is standing with Ryn::

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Hey there, I've heard great things about you. I look forward to tormenting you in sickbay.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Tsk tsk... no need to encourage anyone. ::smiles::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: You only see one here, right. ::smiles sweetly::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: We are under orders, remember!!

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Good. ::laughs:: We don't need you in the Brig again! CEO: I'm trying to cut him down, you see.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks a little relieved:: CO/Admiral Linard: Thank you Sir.

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::gives her an appraising look:: TO: Ahh yes, I've heard about you... I'll be sure to have Grey-feather look out for you... ::nods and smiles curtly as she turns to leave::

XO_Naegle says:
::smiles and relaxes:: Linard/CO: Thank you, sirs. I knew we could count on you for good advice. You've been in our shoes.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Cut him down? Why would he want to do that?

MO_Turok says:
MO: I have read your file too. I think we will get along smashingly, sir.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Oh, that doesn't mean you have to drink yourself... ::grabs a cup and pours some vodka and takes a sip:: ... silly.

TO_Hembrook says:
SCO: Thank you Sir. Self: Great, a 4-pip Admiral knows my name ... NOT good... ::Tries to vanish into thin air::

RAdm Linard says:
XO: And look how far we've come...

XO_Naegle says:
Linard: I know, twins!  Congratulations again.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: looks at the TO and gives her one of those I didn't say anything looks :: TO: Ahem...shall we get that dinner we were talking about?

Host CO_Storal says:
XO/CSO: Remember, we have had to keep it from many a sector commander.. so we REALLY know what we are talking about. ::grins::

CMO_Powers says:
MO: I hope you like a drink.

CMO_Powers says:
CEO: That's what I keep saying.

CNS_Solaa says:
CEO: Don't encourage him!

XO_Naegle says:
::laughs:: CO: Well, it's not going to be too hard, I don't think.  And it's not like we're the first couple on the Apache either.  Tyria and S'Toran come to mind.

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::goes to get herself a glass of champagne to size up the Apache crew as they mingle::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Counsellor, if you stop him, who am I to get completely roaring drunk with?!!! It is a matter of honour!

MO_Turok says:
CMO: No I never take A drink, seems much better to have several.

TO_Hembrook says:
CTO: Sounds good. While we are chowing-down, perhaps you can enlighten this greenhorn on exactly what you want my duties to be in your department, since you assign them?

CNS_Solaa says:
::sighs:: CMO/CEO/FCO: Oh, brother...

CMO_Powers says:
MO: I think we will get along great.

RAdm Linard says:
XO: Thanks... Mom is looking after them right now... I'll probably have to head back soon...

FCO_Ilianor says:
::chews on a bun as he watches the CEO slowly develop a very distinctive buzz::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
TO: Absolutely. You want the entire list or shall I leave out getting me coffee and back massages for the boss  :: smiles jokingly ::

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: And YOU... ::points to the MO:: Don't you get caught up with Dr. Powers...

MO_Turok says:
CEO: Sir, do they have any bloodwine on this starbase?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to Baran:: FCO: Is there any real wine here? I need bloodwyne!

XO_Naegle says:
Linard: Your mom?  How's that working out?

TO_Hembrook says:
CTO: I think a short list of the essentials will do for now, Lt. ::winks::

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Wait... you're a VULCAN... and you like BLOODWINE???

RAdm Linard says:
XO: As I said... I'll probably have to head back soon...

MO_Turok says:
CNS: I believe it's to late for that counselor.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO/RAdm: Thank you for the advice, it means a lot to me, really. CO/RAdm/XO: I'll be back in a couple minutes..

CMO_Powers says:
MO: If I'm not drinking, then I'm probably with this lovely lady here ::indicates Ryn::. I'm sure you'll find Dr.Karl as good a drinking partner as I am

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Why don't you try some of this Earth stuff first? I'msure it's better than... er... there isn't really any blood in bloodwine, right?

CSO_Marsland says:
::goes over to the buffet and grabs a drink of synthahol::

Action: A waiter smashes a tray full of champagne glasses behind one of the tables...

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: Okay, Tom.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: walks over to the table following the TO:: TO: As you wish

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::in a quietly menacing voice:: FCO: There should be.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::hands a glass to the FCO for filling::

MO_Turok says:
CNS: I learned to love it training with my klingon combat masters.

CSO_Marsland says:
::notices the new SCO standing nearby:: SCO: How are you today Admiral?

TO_Hembrook says:
::Spins in reflex, reaching for a Phaser that isn't there, looking in the direction::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: This isnt going to be easy Janet. Especially during the heat of battle. Have you thought of that?

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::sips on her wine and looks at the CSO oddly:: CSO: Fine, why do you ask?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::watches the cup, and he gulps... he looks up at the CEO's eyes:: CEO: You can't be serious...

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Aw... he's so sweet when he's not drunk... ::smiles to John::

MO_Turok says:
FCO: Try it and find out, Sir.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Well, we survived the time warp with the Romulans.  What could be worse?

CSO_Marsland says:
SCO: Just asking Admiral, no particular reason.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: You don't have to worry about me getting drunk with my MO, Bloodwine is one drink I don't like.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Just wait until you are separated and one of you is missing....

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::grabs the TOs weapon arm :: TO: little jumpy are we?

Sec Abbott says:
::comes up behind her husband:: CEO: Shall we share a bloodwine, Par'Machay?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Why do you think it's called Bloodwyne, Lieutenant? Our ancestors literally drank the blood of their enemies. This turned into what we now know as Bloodwyne.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Or worse.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Like you on the Indigo?

TO_Hembrook says:
CTO: Reflexes... that's all...

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I thought I was sweet when I was drunk as well.

Host Admiral_Miller says:
::gives him an odd look:: CSO: Very well then... congratulations on the promotion.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: What a pleasant mythology...

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Exactly.. Or when Kathleen was presumed dead in the incident with the Dissident.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I sure will find something you can stomach, Sir.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to D'Layna:: D'Layna; Ah, my Par'Mach. Yes, let's. I shall drink to your prowess as a warrior-maiden!!

CSO_Marsland says:
SCO: Thank you Sir. Now.. if you'll excuse me.. ::walks back over to Janet, and stands next to her::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: I am not trying to be pessimistic.. Just letting you know what you are in for.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
Waiter: WAITER!!!! BLOODWINE!

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: releases her arm :: TO: Relfexes are great, just make sure that what you shoot is the target you wanted  :: smiles and takes a beer from the bar as the pass it ::

XO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CO: I understand.  That's why we wanted your advice.  If we go into this with both eyes open, it will be better for both uf us.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::is starting to forget himself::

CMO_Powers says:
MO: We'll see how you do on Romulan Ale.

Sec Abbott says:
::growls softly in his ear:: CEO: Then shall we drink in the privacy of our quarters? Or save the festivities for later... if you dare to hold back that long? ::gives him a seductive grin::

CNS_Solaa says:
CEO/FCO/MO/CMO: Shall we sit down and eat, boys?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::rolls his eyes:: CNS: Yes, let's.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Decides to jibe Turok in return for earlier  Whispers to him:: MO: Hey Turok, I just figured out why your Ferenghi boss sent you into the ring all those times.

CSO_Marsland says:
::hears the end of the CO's discussion and nods::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: A little weak, but we can work on it. ::Smiling::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::snarls at D'Layna in reply:: D'Layna: First, let us eat, my love.

Host CO_Storal says:
::nods and hugs Janet:: XO: Good. I'm just looking after an old and dear friend. ::grins:: I'm happy for you.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: By the way, is this the same advice Captain Turnbull gave you?

CMO_Powers says:
::finishes his drink and puts his arm around Ryn:: CNS: There, that's it for me tonight. Happy?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: as he passes lifts his glass to the MO, CEO, Abbot :: All :ghIj qet jaghmeyjaj

MO_Turok says:
TO: He always wanted to get rid of me. Good thing I had you to watch over me at the academy.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Actually it was S'Toran that gave me that advice.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Qa'Pla!!!

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Extremely. ::grins proudly::

TO_Hembrook says:
MO: Just doing my job, as a former nurse I felt sorry for you.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Good old S'Toran, our wonderful Vulcan/Human Second Officer.

Action: A waiter brings both the Klingons their bloodwines as the crew of the Apache continues with the festivities into the night.
