CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Do we know what advances the Martaquians are offering the Federation?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks up, and turns around slightly in his chair:: XO: Hmm? Oh... no, ma'am... habit. ::grins::

XO_Naegle says:
::grins back and nods:: FCO: If you say so. But remember, I know you.

CSO_Marsland says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Not yet, Sir. I hope we will learn more when they come aboard, but not much is in the Starfleet database on the Mortaquians.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::turns back quickly to look at his console, then back again to the XO:: XO: Okay, fine... This... dinner. Must everybody attend, ma'am?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: While the computer completes is extraction, scans for ship contacts in the area ::

XO_Naegle says:
::nods:: FCO: Yes, all senior officers, and that includes you, Lieutenant.

CO_Storal says:
::exits the ready room and sits down in his chair:: XO: I'm glad that diplomatic missions are a rarity.

XO_Naegle says:
::gets up from the captain's chair as he comes out:: CO: Why is that, Captain?

FCO_Ilianor says:
XO: Ah. I see, ma'am. ::smiles:: Ah... my father used to be a diplomat... heh... the last time I went to one of these parties as a member of his family... well, it wasn't very pretty. But, I will be there, ma'am. ::smiles, and turns back to his console::

CSO_Marsland says:
::notices the CO exit his RR, gives him a slight nod::

CO_Storal says:
XO: I hate being on my best behavior ::chuckles::

CMO_Powers says:
MO: How are you going on researching the Martokliklocks' physiology?

CO_Storal says:
::nods back to the CSO::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Will they be serving Klingon food?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir? :: added as an afterthought::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I have yet to find anything significant about them in the database sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
::turns back to his console, wondering to self:: Self: I wonder if I could hack the Martaquians computer systems and find out more...

CMO_Powers says:
MO: It's going to be difficult for you to carry out physicals on them then.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Perhaps after they are aboad we could get their permission to run a medical scan on them.

XO_Naegle says:
::thinks a bit:: CEO: I don't know, Commander. I hope so, for your sake. ::grins::

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Sir, I've assigned a 24/7 Security team to deck 2 and restricted it from all unauthorized personnel. I've also got Security doing constant monitoring of deck 2, and the on-duty Tactical personnel are standing by in the Armory in full gear for a call-out. Was there anything else I needed to do?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: I hate being on my best behavior too, sir.  But for the good of the Federation and all that . . .

Mortaq OPS says:
COM: Apache: This is the secretary to B'Rotahn Lor, he and his antourage are ready for transport.

CO_Storal says:
XO: Agreed. ::grins::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::glances back at the CEO:: CEO: I can... see a group of people being offended by having been served live gagh...

CMO_Powers says:
MO: I don't think it would be a good idea to ask deligates if we can scan them. I'll ask the XO though.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Let's just hope they don't require the use of cutlery.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Your doing good ensign. Keep it up. But make sure that all incoming dignitaries, their parcels, and any shuttles are scanned for explosive and biologic devices

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: Sir, would it be possible to get medical scans of the Mart... Mort... the aliens?

Junior OPS Officer says:
CO: Sir, in coming hail from the Mortaq planet Operations Center.

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Agreed, Doctor. When they transport aboard you may do passive scans.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Hmm? Why do you say that, sir?

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Let's hear it.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Understood Sir, I'll get Security Teams to the hangar and all the transporter rooms.

Junior OPS Officer says:
::puts the hail onscreen::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: Aye sir. MO: You heard her. When they transport aboard you may do passive scans.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: I preferrably like to use my bare hands when I eat. ::makes a strangling motion with his hands, then snarls a smile at Baran ::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Very good, I want status reports every hour.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Aye sir. I will prepare for the scans.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Aye Sir.

CO_Storal says:
COM: Mortaq OPS: This is Capt. Storal, we will be beaming them up momentarily.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::heads for the bridge::

MO_Turok says:
::Preparing to scan the delegates::

CSO_Marsland says:
::turns to look at the XO:: XO: Sir, who do you want to greet the entourage?

CO_Storal says:
XO:Your with me Janet. CEO: Mr. Cha'Dak you have the con.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Powers says:
::smiles at his obediant underling before heading back into his office::

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: There's your answer, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::arrives on the bridge and assumes his post, relieving the junior officer there::

Mortaq OPS says:
COM: Apache: Very well Captain. I will transmit the coordinates.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::moves to take the big chair::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::raises his eyebrows... and shakes his head slightly:: CEO: Whatever you say, sir.

Mortaq OPS says:
COM: Apache: Peace be with you.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Transport the delegates to transporter room 2 on my signal.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Aye, sir.  I've told sickbay they can do passive scans on the delegates when they beam aboard.

CO_Storal says:
::gets in the turbo lift:: XO: Good. It's all standard proceedure. I'm sure the delegates won't mind.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Aye, sir. Standing by for transport.

MO_Turok says:
*OPS*: Please inform me when the delegates are abroad.

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Meet us in transporter room two, Doctor.

CO_Storal says:
Computer: Transporter room 2.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: So what do you make of the Mortaquians so far?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Sir, your forgot to want the FCO, yIntaHbogh qagh jablu'DI' reH nIvqu' qagh

OPS_Ryushi says:
*MO*: Of course, Doctor.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks up suddenly, and turns around:: CTO: What? What? ::glances over at the CEO, then back at the CTO::

CO_Storal says:
XO: The seem to be an interesting race. They must be if the Federation is willing to admit them so quickly.

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods at the XO as she and the CO walk off the bridge::

CO_Storal says:
::exits the turbo lift and enters TR 2::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: looks at the CTO in surprise :: CTO: Why would I want our Flight Control officer, Mr. Grey-feather?

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: I'm rather bury here. Would it be alright to send Dr. Turok?

ACTION:  The Delegates are beamed aboard.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::leans back slightly against his chair, as he listens... and he finds himself giggling softly to himself::

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Whichever. Doesn't matter to me.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: The XO would like you to meat her in TR1. Take the scanning equipment.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Monitors telemetry in TR 2 from Security office, checks the pattern buffer records for anything unusual like weapons, explosives, or diseases::

OPS_Ryushi says:
*MO*: The delegates are aboard, Mr. Turok.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Aye sir, on my way. ::Picking up the mini scanner::

CO_Storal says:
::bows slightly at the delegates:: Delegates: I am Capt. Storal of the Federation starship Apache. This is my first officer Cmdr. Naegle. Welcome Aboard.

MO_Turok says:
*OPS*: Thank you.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Any sign of other vessels in the vicinity, Mr. Grey-feather?

XO_Naegle says:
::bows slightly:: Delegates: A pleasure.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: checks sensors for ships in the sector :: CEO: Checking now sir

MO_Turok says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Transporter room 2.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
:: bows back :: CO:  Captain, thank you for your warm welcome.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::makes a minor adjustment to the Apache's orbit:: CEO: I wonder what they're like... what a shock it must be, for a culture to suddenly discover that the galaxy is filled 
with... thousands of other species.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Sensors show negative contacts sir

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant. 

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: How long since Betazed was inducted into the Federation, Mr. Ilianor?

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: It's our pleasure to be transporting you back to Earth. Our medical officer will need to do a routine medical scan. Then we can begin your tour of the ship.

MO_Turok says:
::Exits the turbo lift and see the CO, XO and delegates:: CO: Sir.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: As far as I can tell, the delagation is clean Sir.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: checks the progress of the computers extrapilation :: Himself : This is slower than using my dads computer

CO_Storal says:
MO: Ensign Turok, please begin your scan of the Mortaquian delegates.

MO_Turok says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::blows a raspberry:: CEO: Sheesh, I barely know where my parents were born, much less the entire history of Betazed. ::laughs::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Of course Captain. We are every eager to learn about our new friends. I can imagine that you are curious as well.  :: smiles ::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Excellant. Remember ensign keep smiling. These guests are to be afforded every curtousey

MO_Turok says:
B`Rothan_Lor: With your permission I will begin.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
MO: Of course Doctor.

MO_Turok says:
::Begins the scanning::

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Understood Sir. I'll be smiling from behind the cameras in the Security Office. Hembrook out.

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: That we are. ::grins:: We have set up your quarters on Deck 2. Your belongings will be taken there for your convienience.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Thank you Captain, you are most kind.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: is slightly taken aback :: FCO: Does your race not honour their place in the Federation?

CSO_Marsland says:
::makes an adjustment to the sensor parameters and looks down again::

CO_Storal says:
::taps his combadge::*CEO*:Commander, the delegates are onboard. Set course for Earth and engage.

TO_Hembrook says:
*VIP Detail*: The delegation is on board... clear deck 2 of all unauthorized personnel right away, and stand by to recieve our guests and their baggage.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. Understood.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::smiles:: CEO: Of course they do. I guess you could say... I am a member of the Betazoid race by biology only. ::winks::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Mr. Ilianor, set a course for Earth. Maximum warp.

CO_Storal says:
MO: Are you done with your scans Mr, Turok?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye, sir. ::powers up the warp engines and sets a course for the Sol system; and he turns back, nodding to the CEO::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Engage,.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks over at the center chair curiously:: CEO: We in that much of a hurry Sir? We will leave a warp signature as big as the ship Sir..

MO_Turok says:
CO: I should have sufficient information now sir. ::Completes the scans::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: turns to the CSO :: CSO: You are correct, Lieutenant.

CO_Storal says:
MO: Excellent. Dismissed Ensign.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
:: smiles ::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Sir since the computer hasn't completed a threat profile for our guests, I recommend running with shields raised

FCO_Ilianor says:
::activates the warp field generator, and increases speed to maximum warp:: CEO: Done, sir. ::he leans back, now...::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Mr. Ilianor, bring us down to warp 5. 

MO_Turok says:
B'Rotahn: Thank you for your assistance.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: I agree, Mr. Grey-feather. Yellow alert.

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: Now if you follow me I will take you to your quarters and we will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

ACTION:  The 15 members of the Mortaq follow the CO.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::smiles:: CEO: Very well, sir. Warp 5. ::decreases the speed of the ship... then slowly turns around:: If there really was a threat to consider... would Starfleet not 
already have been made aware of it?

XO_Naegle says:
::walks behind the delegation::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Aye sir  :: takes the ship to yellow alert.  Shields raised, weapons systems on hot standby ::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Better to err on the side of caution, Lieutenant.

MO_Turok says:
::Exits and returns to sickbay::

CSO_Marsland says:
::grins:: FCO: You mean to say Lieutenant, Starfleet do some of the legwork for us? ::laughs::

CO_Storal says:
::walks to a turbo lift and awaits for the delegates and the XO before giving the command to deck 2::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Here are the scans sir.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::widens his eyes:: CSO: WELLLll... it would be nice if they fully prepared us, right?

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: Oh, I never said it wouldn't be nice, but in all your time, have you ever seen us go into a mission fully and completely prepared?

XO_Naegle says:
:: Enters the TL behind the delegation and rides it to deck 2::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Be ready for if the delegates visit the bridge. We should try to make them feel welcome.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Good job. It may take a while for the computer to analyse so if you don't have anything to do, get a drink, sit on a biobed and do something

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: There's always a first time, Tom. ::winks at him, and laughs:: So... when are we due for this... reception thingie?

CSO_Marsland says:
::laughs back:: FCO: Well, I'm guessing at the end of shift... although I'm not really looking forward to this, I can tell you

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: My people are very interested in what you do Captain. What exactally is your purpose?

MO_Turok says:
CMO: We could always play some cards sir. Have any latinum? ::Smilling at his boss::

TO_Hembrook says:
::Monitors the progress of the delegation on Security Office monitors::

OPS_Ryushi says:
*TO*: Miss Hembrook, would you mind sending a security detail to the bridge?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO/CSO: I should take my dress uniform out more often. It didn't fit when I tried it on last night.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Some. I'm not sure Ryn would be very happy with me though.

CO_Storal says:
::exits the turbo lift as the doors open:: B'Rotahn: We are mostly explorers and scientists. We strive for the advancement of knowledge.

TO_Hembrook says:
*OPS*: Is there a problem up there?

XO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift and listens as B'Rotahn and the captain converse::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I will try not to take to much sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: Nah.. that's why we have replicators. ::checks the sensors once again::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO/CSO: I'm still... not entirely sure whether I'm... looking forward to it or not, if you know what I mean. People get stabbed at these things.

OPS_Ryushi says:
*TO*: No, I just want to keep the sensitive areas of the bridge in check for when the delegates come to see it.

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: Or shot.. ::pats the phaser on his belt::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: nods :: CSO: It would've taken a tailor far too long on such short notice.

TO_Hembrook says:
*OPS*: There's a Security Team with the delegation.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: Just as long as it's not you, eh? ::smiles::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO/CSO: Should I come armed?

OPS_Ryushi says:
*TO*: Good, thank you.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Get some cards and I'll show you how a pro plays.

TO_Hembrook says:
*OPS*: No problem, Hembrook out.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Indeed Captain. That is noble.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: So just squeeze in your gut... or, replicate a... a corset. ::giggles::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Yes sir. I just wanted to remind you that we are supposed to be at the party for the delegates tonight sir.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Klingons do NOT WEAR .... !!!! ::stops, as he realises he's the butt of a joke::

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: Well we hope that your addition to the Federation will benifit your people just as much as it will the Federation.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: ETA until our arrival, Lieutenant!

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: And, what exactally is your role Captain?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: is gwumpy now ::

CMO_Powers says:
MO: When's that?

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: My role? You mean on a daily basis? ::stops at the VIP Quarters::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
:: covers mouth with hand to hide laugh at the thought of a Klingon in a corset :: Aloud:hmhmhmfh

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Naturally.

XO_Naegle says:
::stops behind the delegation wondering why all the questions::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I don't believe that ops has annouced the exact time yet sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: I plan on bringing a phaser.. even if I have to hide it. I refuse to take chances any longer.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks at his console:: CEO: Standby, sir... ::stifles a giggle::

CMO_Powers says:
MO: We've got time for cards then.

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: That varies depending on our mission. ::Motions to the door:: Here are your quarters.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::sighs and looks up:: CEO: 24 hours, sir. ETA is 24 hours... Now. Back to appropriate eveningwear. ::smiles::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: nods, then taps his communicator :: 

1st Aide says:
XO:  And what of you, what do you do?

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Oh yes sir we do. ::Grinning at the CMO::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Commander Naegle, Mr. Ilianor estimates our arrival at Earth in approximately 24 hours.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Thank you.  Our valets will arrange our quarters, while my aides and I continue with our tour.

XO_Naegle says:
::is a bit startled at the question:: Aide: I, um, I assist the captain.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Get the cards and pick your game.

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Very well, Commander.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: ETA to Earth is 24 hours.

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: Very well. We have arrainged for a dinner in your honor later on this evening.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
:: watches as 5 of the group go in and begin arranging things. ::

CO_Storal says:
::nods to the XO::

CNS_Solaa says:
::walks into Deck 2 from the TL and straightens her dress uniform::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Captain? Sorry, I'm so late. I was arranging the guest quarters.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::sighs, exasperatedly, and turns to the CEO:: CEO: Are you... sure you don't want us to go any faster, sir? ::smiles::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I will keep it easy for you sir. Straight five card draw poker.

CO_Storal says:
::looks over and sees the CNS:: CNS: It's alright Ryn.

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: This is our ship's counsilor, Lt. Solaa.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Why, do you not know anything more complicated?

1st Aide says:
XO: You assist the Captain, with what may I ask?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: We have no need for haste, Lieutenant.

CNS_Solaa says:
::nods to the delegate and smiles:: B'Rotahn: A pleasure to meet you!

CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: If there is any thing you need, she will be more than happy to assist you.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::monitors power allocation to deck 2, making sure everything runs smoothly for the guests::

XO_Naegle says:
Aide: He delegates some of his nonessential duties to me.  And then, sometimes, I delegate them to someone else. ::smiles::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO:  I thank you Captain.

1st Aide says:
XO:  I see. So you are a leader then?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I try not to hurry unless chasing a pretty woman or being chased by something large with a club :: grins ::

CO_Storal says:
CNS/XO: If you will continue the tour, I need to take care of somethings on the bridge.

XO_Naegle says:
::Nods:: Aide: An assistant leader, you might say.  What about you?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CNS:  Peace to you.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Or chasing something WITH a club.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
CEO: Well spoken commander

1st Aide says:
XO: I am an aide to B`Rotahn Lor. I.... assist him when needed. :: smiles ::

CO_Storal says:
::bows slightly:: B'Rotahn: I will see you later for dinner. My officers will see that you are well taken care of.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO/CTO: Well then... remind me never to take you to a nature preserve... ::rolls his eyes and laughs::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Thank you Captain.  I would really like to tour your ship.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: But that is where we find the best prey, Baran!

XO_Naegle says:
Aide: I see.  Sounds interesting.

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Ryn...they are all yours ::grins and heads for the turbo lift::

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Yes Baran, a Klingon game preserve is known as the dinner table

MO_Turok says:
::Wondering if he has all the essentials for his dress uniform as he get his cards::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CNS: WHat do you do on this ship?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: But they're innocent creatures... WHOOPS! ::makes a quick adjustment:: As I was saying, they're just innocent, defenseless creatures. ::grins::

CO_Storal says:
::enters the turbolift and sighs:: Computer: Bridge.

XO_Naegle says:
B'Rotahn: Would you like to rest up before our tour?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: TASTY, innocent, defenseless creatures.

CNS_Solaa says:
B'Rotahn: Yes, where would you like to go?

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
FCO/CEO: Why is it I worry every time he says "Whoops" like that?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
XO:  No, I would not like to rest.

CMO_Powers says:
::stashes some useful cards up his sleeve::

CNS_Solaa says:
B'Rotahn: Anything you wish to see? What are you're interests?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CNS:  Everywhere.  :: smiles ::

XO_Naegle says:
B'Rotahn: Very well then.

XO_Naegle says:
B'Rotahn: Where would you like to start?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
XO/CNS:  How about the bridge first.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CTO: Oh, it makes you worried, does it? ::grins, with an evil twinkle in his eye:: CEO: That's like... well, that's like your war with the Tribbles!

CO_Storal says:
::exits the TL:: CEO: Status report

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::shivers, and mutters .... :: Self: Horrible parasites.

CTO_Lt_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Easy Baran even I know that Klingons do not speak of the war with the Tribbles

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands up:: CO: Sir, we are at yellow alert, and our ETA to Earth is 24 hours. No vessels on LRS, sir.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Continues to monitor the progress of the delegation and the arrangements on deck 2 from the Security Office::

XO_Naegle says:
::raises an eyebrow:: B'Rotahn: The bridge?  Well, we might be able to do that.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CTO: ... Interesting... ::turns back to his console once he realizes the captain has returned to the bridge::

CO_Storal says:
CEO: Very well. OPS: Notify Starfleet that we are enroute and notify them of our arrival time.

XO_Naegle says:
*CO*: Captain, our guests would like a tour of the bridge, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::pokes the XO with her elbow and makes a "NO" face::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
XO:  Lead the was Commander.  :: smiles ::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::transmits the message to Starfleet::

CNS_Solaa says:
B'Rotahn: Uh... our crew is busy at the moment with repairs to our bridge module... very messy...

CO_Storal says:
*XO*: Neagative Janet. I'd like to keep them off the bridge for now.

CSO_Marsland says:
::overhears the communique and begins to sign off his console except for a very small sensor display::

CNS_Solaa says:
B'Rotahn: Hmm... how about Sickbay? Or Astrometrics?

XO_Naegle says:
B'Rotahn: I'm sorry.  The captain has requested that you save your bridge tour for another time.  Do you have anyplace else you'd like to go?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CNS:  Very well.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: moves back to the Engineering alcove on the bridge ::

XO_Naegle says:
