CMO: Is my hair messy or something?
CTO_Williams says:
FCO/CMO/CEO: I imagine she can't be too bad.
CSO_Taliza says:
::notices her recoil:: CO: Sorry, captain.  I read in your file that you are part Betazoid, so I thought it would be safe to do this. ::smiles a bit::
CEO_Syren says:
::glances down to see the flow rate fall by 0.1 and almost has a heart attack:: CTO: Easy for you to say, she won't be examining your life with a microscope
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CTO: If you are doing your job properly. Not goofing off or anything.  You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression
CTO_Williams says:
CEO: Whys that?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::smiles again and nods to the CSO and then turns back to the XO:: XO: I'd like to head straight to the bridge, please.
CEO_Syren says:
CTO: The inspection. There's always an inspection. And very rarely are they pleased
CTO_Williams says:
CMO: I already have everything arranged here.  I can't do it all myself anyways.  That’s what staff is for.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CTO: Than make sure your underlings are doing their jobs.  Their behavior reflect on you
CEO_Syren says:
::another 0.1 drop:: *Macxa* Come on people look alive down there!
CTO_Williams says:
::Runs his "Ryan 1" Diagnostic program.  It’s an old program he wrote that checks over everything to make sure its tip-top.::

CTO_Williams says:
CMO: Well, that’s why I drill them every week. ::Smiles evilly::

::follows XO and CO:: CO: Ma'am, the crew has been awaiting your arrival.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::follows alongside:: XO: Commander McDuggle, correct?
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CTO: Then you shouldn't be having anything to worry about.. right.
CTO_Williams says:
::Shrugs:: CMO: Well, that’s the plan.  ::Diagnostic program still running in the background, everything looks in place for now.::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: I'm eager to meet them, Commander.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
all:  Make sure you don’t stare.  If she is anything like my brother's friends.. just don't stare
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As they walk down the corridor towards the lift, crewmen can't help but stopping and taking a look at their new CO, trying to form opinions of her and figuring out where they now stand.
FCO_Chottu says:
::sighs and shakes head lightly, focuses back on flight::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Yes Ma'am. Captain if you wish I can have a yeoman take your dog to your quarters.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: XO: You can try...but I can guarantee that within 20 minutes the beast will be right back at my heels.  Don't worry...she's very good at staying out of the way.  but you could have someone take my bag please.
CEO_Syren says:
::calms down enough to take a breath:: ALL: Okay so what's gonna happen here, I wasn't paying attention. Is there some sort of banquet later?

::Chuckles:: CMO: The thought never crossed my mind.  ::The panel chirps with a satisfying sound.  Everything is perfect::
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: And what is the name of your puppy?
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: That is being taken care of as we speak.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Her name is Dog.  She seems to like it as she answers to it.
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Dog?  She looks more like a Fluffy or a Mopsy than being just "Dog," if I may comment, ma'am.
XO_McDuggle says:
::steps in to the TL and waits for the CO and CSO::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO: I think there is suppose to be a nice meet and greet.  She seems like a fascinating person.
CTO_Williams says:
::sends a invitation to the FCO, for "Turbo Pong".  What he doesn't know is that Ryan has linked up a perfect AI to the game, not him::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::takes in everything as she heads to the TL and then steps in after the XO:: CSO: Yes...I suppose she does, but she tends to be very stubborn about things.  I doubt she would answer to anything but.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Hey doesn't engineering keep track of computer usage by crewmembers.  SO that computing power isn't wasted?
FCO_Chottu says:
::sighs, typing out a message "once the CO is on and off the bridge again I guess."::
CTO_Williams says:

CEO_Syren says:
CMO: It also keeps tracks of login id's I won't take the blame
XO_McDuggle says:
TL: Bridge
Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Is the entire crew back from shore leave?

::trying to keep his mind off the little things that could go wrong:: ALL: What did you guys do on leave?
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  So if someone was playing solitaire on duty we could find out who?
CTO_Williams says:
CEO: Lay on the sand, and talk to hot babes.  ::nods in satisfaction::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Yes Ma'am however our counselor is currently busy and wont be on the bridge.
CEO_Syren says:
CMO: In most cases, we'd know which station for sure.
CTO_Williams says:
::Looks back at the CMO and CEO:: Self: Sheesh.. talk about cramping my style....
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grimaces a bit:: XO/CSO: Let me guess...the entire senior staff is gathered on the bridge waiting for me?
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The lift stops on the bridge and the doors open.
CSO_Taliza says:
