::turns watching the CEO's reaction to his drink and thinks that should just about hit the spot so helps herself to one:: XO: What's your choice sir?
CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Word is that you're going to be dropped off at the star base.
XO_McDuggle says:
OPS: I myself have devolved a taste for blood wine.
OPS_K`maq says:
::smiles again to the XO:: XO: A fine choice, personally the CEO has promoted this so I must try it first, perhaps I shall join you in a blood wine later.

::takes his seat again and observes, semi curious who's drinking what::
CEO_Syren says:
::surveys the table and notices the blood wine:: CSO: Yeah I’ve heard, I’m too big for this little rust bucket. It's a pity you have to go dig with some kiddies. Your time will come too
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief go easy on that stuff I want you sober when we get to the Star base.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::watches the officers’ attempt at a party and rolls his eyes.  Being the highest-ranking NCO on the ship he gets invited to these things but they are never as good as those that go on below decks.  However, he did bring his dartboard and having set it up begins to throw a few as he sips at his mug of beer::
OPS_K`maq says:
::looks at her drink before tipping her head back and emptying the glass's contents into her mouth, then wipes her arm across her mouth and looks towards the blood wine:: 
CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Hey, I'm somewhat of an amateur archaeologist, especially with my intrigue over Earth's 20th century.
CEO_Syren says:
::pours himself some blood wine and sniffs at it then slams it all back. A few seconds later his eyes start watering:: ALL: Excuse me ::rushes to a sink and spits it all out::

OPS_K`maq says:
::opens her mouth to speak to the CEO and watches him dash away:: Self: I guess he didn't like that one.
XO_McDuggle says:
::chuckles at the CEO::
CSO_Taliza says:
<Shehanna> ::chuckles:: CSO: Now there's a man that can't hold his liquor.
CSO_Taliza says:
Shehanna: Oh, I wouldn't want to try that blood wine at all.
XO_McDuggle says:
::sees Mayers throwing darts:: COB: You up for a game?
FCO_Chottu says:
::smirks:: Self: Now's the time to socialize. ::walks up to the CEO:: CEO: Congratulations, sir.
Host COB_Mayer says:
XO: Aye, as long as it doesn't affect me next performance review when I win.

::fills the glass with water and washes out his mouth then slowly walks back to the group of officers:: FCO: Thank you Chottu
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: We will leave that up to the Captain.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::laughs deeply as he hands a set of darts to the XO::  XO: What's your game?
OPS_K`maq says:
::watches the CEO return:: CEO: Congratulations Keyser. ::smiles:: Perhaps in time we can wean you on to blood wine.
CSO_Taliza says:
OPS: Maybe you should give him blood wine like they do Earth wine to French kids.
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: And what makes you so sure that you will win. You pick.
CEO_Syren says:
OPS: Actually I think I’ll stick to the grape juice from now on
Host COB_Mayer says:
::smirks:: XO: A simple game of 301 then.  Rank before talent.  ::makes room for the XO::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The FCO catches a sniff of something on the refreshment table that makes his mouth start to water.
OPS_K`maq says:
::chuckles:: CEO: If that be your poison who I am to stop you, would you like another? I am going to get a refill.
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: Sounds fine to me.:: takes his time and through his darts::
FCO_Chottu says:
::eyes open wide, then looking around, spotting the refreshment table::
CEO_Syren says:
OPS: Oh. well...sure. I'll have some grape juice. Thank you ::hands over his glass::
CSO_Taliza says:
::sees FCO with that hungry look:: Shehanna: I think we should back away from the table.  Got a hungry Cait incoming.  ::guides Shehanna to the dartboard::
OPS_K`maq says:
CEO: I'll just get you one. ::steps over to the table next to the FCO:: 
Host COB_Mayer says:
::makes a note of the hits:: XO: Very nice Commander.. that gives you 247 by my count.  ::waits for the XO to clear the board before he begins::
XO_McDuggle says:
::sees where his darts land:: COB: Your turn.
OPS_K`maq says:
FCO: Good day. 
OPS_K`maq says:
::Takes a look at the wines:: Self: The red version looks more appealing ::gets a glass::
FCO_Chottu says:
::nods at the OPS but his eyes never stop searching over the table::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Shehanna and I stand behind the COB:: COB: So, chief, trying to hustle the XO?
Host COB_Mayer says:
::with his mug in one hand, Mayer throws three darts... triple 20, triple 19, triple 11::  XO: Ah, now look there Commander.  That gives me 151.  ::smirks as he clears the darts::
OPS_K`maq says:
FCO: They have quite a nice blood wine and that one there hits the spot ::points:: Some sort of Brandy I think. however the CEO has opted for grape juice.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::chats with the CSO while the XO goes again:: CSO: He asked to play me, who am I to refuse the request of a senior officer.  ::smiles::
CSO_Taliza says:
XO/COB: Call winner?
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: You are good Mayer. ::steps up and throws his darts::
Host COB_Mayer says:
Aloud: What is it about officers wanting to be embarrassed.
CSO_Taliza says:
COB: Who said anything about being embarrassed?
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The XO hits two double bulls and a double 20.
FCO_Chottu says:
::spots a glass of milk and grabs it, spilling a quarter, then realizes what the OPS just said to him:: OPS: Ah.. yes, blood wine.. good times. ::looks at the glass of milk in his hands::
CEO_Syren says:
::turns to the COB:: Self: What did he say ::walks over to the dart game::
OPS_K`maq says:
::looks at Mayer with some shock and as the FCO speaks turns back to him then at his milk with a curious look::
CEO_Syren says:
CSO: What is this game?
XO_McDuggle says:
::goes and clears his darts: COB: Your up.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::looks at the board in shock::  XO: Some nice luck there commander... that would give you ::pauses as it hurts him to say it::  87.
CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: They're playing 301 darts.
CEO_Syren says:
CSO: Never heard of it. Are you any good at it
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: You could still win. ::chuckles::
CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Cricket's more my game.
OPS_K`maq says:
::leaves the refreshments table with her next glass of blood wine and a red wine for the CEO::
Host COB_Mayer says:
::sets down his mug and takes careful aim - hits two bulls and a 15 giving him 87 also... he has suddenly gotten quiet as he clears the board for the XO's turn::
OPS_K`maq says:
CEO: Keyser, your grape juice ::hands the CEO the glass of wine:: 
CEO_Syren says:
::wonders what cricket is:: CSO: I think somebody needs to fix this guy. Maybe you could challenge him ::takes the glass of purple liquid:: OPS: Thanks
CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: But in this game, each player starts with 301 points.  They fire the darts at the board, trying to get down to 0 exactly.
FCO_Chottu says:
::notices the OPS looking at the glass as well, closes his eyes and turns around heading back to his chair::
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: Awful quiet aren't we. ::steps up and throws his darts::
CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: I'm going to challenge winner.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The FCO's chair has been invaded by those watching the dart game.
CEO_Syren says:
CSO: And win...that's what is important, flatten him
CEO_Syren says:
::takes a sip of his beverage:: OPS: Ooh! This is the best grape juice I’ve ever had
Host COB_Mayer says:
::watches as the XO continues to hit... 17... double 20.... bull::  XO: I see... well that leaves you with 5, sir.
OPS_K`maq says:
::nods with a smile to the CEO:: CEO: Pleased to hear it.
XO_McDuggle says:
::looks to see what he has thrown and clears his darts::
CSO_Taliza says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: ::whispers:: That grape juice smells like blood wine.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::moves up to the line and takes a moment to concentrate before throwing each dart... the first is a triple bull giving him 27 left.  He turns and smiles, still two darts left::
CEO_Syren says:
::drinks some more and smiles softly at the warm feeling in the back of his throat:: OPS: I may have to get a bottle for my trip
FCO_Chottu says:
::hears a dart fly closely by him, opens his eyes and steps back:: Self: That wasn't a good plan.. Really smooth Patton.
OPS_K`maq says:
::smiles to the CSO:: CEO: I'm sure it will make your trip interesting though I am not sure if it will be as memorable.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::throwing his second dart, he hits a single bull taking his score down to 2, the confidence is back::  XO: Well Commander, if was a close game, but I thin I'll have to end it here.

XO_McDuggle says:
COB: We will see.
CSO_Taliza says:

COB: Very good game. CSO: Looks like your next.
CSO_Taliza says:
::walks up to the board and looks at the last dart::
CSO_Taliza says:
COB: Well, chief, it looks like you just busted.  That dart actually is in the 17.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::turns:: CSO: Your eyes need fixing mister, it was a two.
CEO_Syren says:
Aloud: Yes! Yes! ::runs up to the chief:: In your face! Officer's rule! Enlisted drool!

::chuckles as she watches the CSO, CEO and COB::
FCO_Chottu says:
::bites his lip, takes a second to breath, smiles and turns around:: Macxa: Sorry.. ::notices it's the full blood Caitian engineer, losing his focus again:: Macxa: Ah, hi.

::watches as it hits the center of the 5::
OPS_K`maq says:
FCO: I see. ::nods to the FCO and leaves him with Macxa::
CEO_Syren says:
::falls into the chair:: XO: I'm feeling great sir. You really whooped his butt. (Screams) COB is a LOSER!
FCO_Chottu says:
Macxa: Actually, we have.. months back, broken console on the bridge.. you forgot your tools.
Host COB_Mayer says:
::sets his mug down hard on the table, not being a gracious loser he is unsure what to do::  
XO_McDuggle says:
COB: I believe that is game?

XO: Aye Commander that it is.
