XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::pulls his flight jacket down and manoeuvres through the crowd::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Well since I have some time, I'm going to hit the shops. What about you?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Hit the shops?  I suppose i will accompany you hitting shops. Though I do not see the reason why one would hit them.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::moves towards OPS quickly hoping to get this over and done with::

Action: As the Crew departs the ship onto the station they are met by a variety of different smells from all  the food booths on the station.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:

shopping.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::covers his nose:: FCO: what is that horrid odour?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::enters OPS and heads for the Station Commanders office::
  
  FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sniffs the air :: CTO: Horrid? It's just some of the odours from the food court.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::presses the door chime ::

 Duty OPS says:
  XO: Sir if you are looking for the Cmdr you will find him on the promenade.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: heads down the main corridor to the promenade :: CTO: Coming?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::turns looking embarrassed:: Duty OPS: Ah thankyou. I’ll look for him there then

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walking  along with the FCO::  FCO: I do not see how you can consume such things.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::mumbling he beats a hasty retreat to the promenade::

Duty OPS says:

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Duty OPS: Right I’ll head that way. Thank you son

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Just try everything! That's my motto. :: smiles and moves into the promenade ::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::makes his way to the Dunk Tank::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Go and ask someone while I go in here. I'll be out in a few minutes.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Yes. I will do that.

Action: As the FCO and CTO make their way through the Promanade they pass some food booths with what looks like vegetables being cooked on them.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::makes his way onto the promenade::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: steps inside the shop and eyes some delicious sweets and soon has ordered several pounds to be sent to the Apache  ::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::spots the Dunk Tank and heads for it::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walks up to the booth with the vegetables:: Booth worker: Proprietor, that is an interesting assortment of vegetables you have there, my i try one?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes a sample from the shopkeeper before leaving ::

Action: As the XO makes his way onto the promenade he can see a large group of people standing around what looks like a large tank  filled with water and a young commander sitting on a board above it. He is already quite wet.

 Booth Operator says:
CTO: why yes my friend please feel free to try any thing here.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: raises an eyebrow and heads for the tank::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::uses his size to make his way through the crowd::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: continues to browse the shops as she looks to see where Salor has disappeared to ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looking for some kind of utensil::  Booth worker: do you have by chance have a ,  ::thinks::  a fork, i think you call it. i can not touch it with my fingers.

Action: As the XO appraches the tank he can see a person standing at a line throwing balls at a target. He hits the target and the young commander suddenly ends up in the water in the tank and there is quite a roar of laughter once this is done.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::comes to the front of the crowd::
::A wicked smile crosses his face:: *FCO*: Hope you got to come see this. it should appeal to your sense of humour

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: stands on her tip toes and peers over the crowd ::

 Booth Operator says:
:: hands the CTO what appears to be 2 long sticks:: CTO: Here this is what you are suppose to use.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*XO*: Commander? Where are you? Is your meeting over already?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::picks up a ball and looks at the now very wet commander::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::takes the sticks:: Booth worker: Yes this will do nicely.  ::reaches in and picks up a piece with the sticks and places it in his mouth and begins to chew it::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: Look for something called the dunk tank

Action: While the food the CTO is eating is very good it also is just a little spicy.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: is puzzled :: *XO*: Are you sure you're not celebrating already Commander? :: thinks he must be drinking blood wine again ::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::holds the ball in his hand::
  Commander Drizzle:: Commander Drizzle i presume

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Booth worker: this is pleasing, though a touch too much spice.  This is interesting though , what is it and do you have the plant it came from?

 Tank Operator says:
 XO:Cmdr do you wish to try your luck?

 Cmdr_Drizzle says:
XO: Yes I am and who may I ask are you?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles at the operator:: Tank Operator: Very much so

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: keeps walking and sees Salor with a strange look on his face :: CTO: Here you are. What's that? :: points to his hand ::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Commander Drizzle:: LtCmndr Wolf. XO USS-Apache reporting in sir ::pegs the ball at the target::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks at the FCO:  FCO: this is a pair of sticks for picking up for the vegetables.  :: hands her the sticks;::   you should try them, there are a little spicy you might like it

 Booth Operator says:
CTO: It actually comes from many plants on earth. I believe the person that gave me the recipe said that it was called stir fry.

Action: The ball passes just under the target.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Interesting device, but Commander Wolf just called and said there was something we should see. It has to do with humour he said.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Booth Operator: Were can i procure this plant these vegetables came from. I would like to experiment with them and to my collection.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::picks up another ball and takes aim::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Oh stow it Salor. Let's go! :: pulls him away ::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::lets rip with the second ball::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO:facination with humour i will never understand.  ::being dragged by the FCO::

 Cmdr_Drizzle says:
XO: Well Cmdr I am glad to meet you  please feel free to enjoy the actives on the station and I will try to find you in about an hour.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::grins evily:: Commander Drizzle: Likewise Sir.

Action; the Second ball hits the target and the commander once again hits the water.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Look for something called a dunk tank. :: looks around the crowd ::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::lets out a roar of triumph::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: IS that a drinking establishment?  i do not care to partake in the consumption of alcohol.

 Cmdr_Drizzle says:
:: climbs back up on the board:: XO: Good to see you having fun but just remember we can have you put in here also. :: grins::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: listens :: CTO: Hear that? I think that's the Commander roaring.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Commander Drizzle: Ah yes. Right then I’ll see you later sir

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Self: Klingons.   FCO: I do believe you are correct.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::turns and makes his way to the food court::

 Booth Operator says:
:: hands the CTO a piece of paper:: CTO: this should have everything you need on it here.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: I can't see him. Can you?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::grasps the paper as they both move off::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::with a smile on his face he looks for Hope and Salor::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks around and spots the big Klingon::  FCO: over there Ms. Lane.  :;points::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: leans on Salor's arm to look :: CTO: Where?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::threads his way through the crowd::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::points over there taking her hand on his arm and leads her in the direction::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gets pushed by the crowd but hangs on to Salor ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::an emotion stirs within him and quietly suppresses it:: FCO: do not worry Ms. Lane i will not loss you.  ::making his way toward the XO::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: I see him! :: waves frantically ::

Action: The crowd can be heard roaring again with laughter near the dunk tank.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::spots Hope and changes course towards them::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: he is coming to us. ::still holding on to her going toward the XO::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::closes the distance quickly::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: stops and sighs :: XO: Commander, are you alright?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Perfectly. :;smiles::

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: hows the shopping going?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: what is the problem Commander?  ::not realizing he is still holding her hand that is on his arm::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:; looks relieved :: XO: Shopping? Oh that. it's been interesting.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: I dunked the Station Commander into a tank of water

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: why would you do that?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: You what? You assaulted the station commander?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Salor, I bet security is looking for him.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: There could be trouble.  XO: this is not a good way to begin your first command.

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles:: ALL; It’s a game. He sits on a platform and you throw a ball at a target and of you hit it he falls into the water

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: You throw balls at a superior officer?

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles at the CTO:: FCO: Yep, you should try it
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: i would rather prefer to keep my rank and position Commander.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:

 XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
