<<<<<<<<<< BEGIN MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
 
CO K’Beth
 ::on the bridge making certain all departments are locked down::

CSO Tarrez
 ::hiding out in the labs knowing that if she was on the bridge she would be seen... working::

CNS DiDomnia
 ::at her communication terminal in her quarters, having finished up another short and uneventful conversation with the officer from the Reunification Mission:: Officer: Well, thanks for checking in, and let me know again tomorrow if there's been any news.

FCO Chottu
 ::looks around the corner down the hallway::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::on the bridge securing all vital access and security points ::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::makes one last check of the duty rooster before locking his station down::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::is in the armory performing some last minute inventory checks with some of the security crewmen::

FCO Chottu
 ::walks towards the door of his quarters and looks around quickly before slipping in::

CMO Jakiel
 *TO*:  Do you want to meet somewhere and see what is on the station?
 
CO K’Beth
 OPS/CTO: Gentlemen...you are relieved as soon as your departments are squared away.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Thank you ma'am  :: taps the last command :: Means I am ready to go then :: grins ::

CSO Tarrez
 *Bridge*:  Science is locked down.

CNS DiDomnia
 ::closes her terminal and exits her quarters, intent on exploring the station and getting her mind off her current inability to do anything about Rayleona's disappearance::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: I am just on my way out Si....eeer Ma'am. :: heads towards the TL muttering to him self ::

CMO Jakiel
 ::speaks to the nurse on duty with last minute instructions.  Has made very sure all medical personnel will have time off:

CTO Grey-Feather
 *TO*: Lieutenant, how much longer will you be?
 
CO K’Beth
*CSO*: Excellent Commander....and you are to get some R&R this trip...no hiding out in the labs working.
 
CEO Syren
 ::standing in his office glaring down at the equipment on his desk:: Self: Ok backup commbadge, tricorder, phaser, food rations....what else...Rope!
 
CEO Syren
 <Macxa> CEO: Rope? Where do you think you going?

CSO Tarrez
 ::cringes hearing K'Beth's voice:: Self: Dang it

FCO Chottu
 ::sits down, having spent his time off duty the last week out of the captain’s way::
 
CEO Syren
::stuffing the rope in his pack:: Macxa: Believe me it never hurts to be prepared
 
TO Kizlev
 Armory CPO: Alright, all munitions here are present and accounted for. Let's finish locking it down so we can get on with this shore leave. ::hears the "yes, sir" and his commbadge chime in:: *CMO*: Head on to the station. I'll catch up with you a little later. Kizlev out. ::hears the comm again:: *CTO*: Sir, we're about set here.

FCO Chottu
 ::looks if there's any messages, finds.. 12:: Self: Oh what the.. That's like a month worth..

CSO Tarrez
*CO*: All science personnel has been assigned at least 12 hours of R & R to use at their disposal.
     
ACTION: There is an incoming message for the Captain.

CTO Grey-Feather
 *TO*: Good.  Get done and get some R&R.  It will give you a chance to get familiar with our new port of call

CSO Tarrez
 ::thinks::  Self: Well not an actual lie.

CNS DiDomnia
 @::comes through the airlock and onto the station - it is vaguely reminiscent of Cardassian architecture, which is disconcerting, but has been renovated enough to not be overly bothering to her::

CMO Jakiel
 ::Removes her lab coat and exits sickbay, heading to her quarters first to check on Midnight::
 
CO K’Beth
 *CSO*: ::chuckles:: Including yourself, I hope.
 
OPS Ko’Bil
 <Duty OPS> CO: Ma'am there is a message for you.

CO K’Beth
 Duty_OPS: On screen please.

FCO Chottu
 ::mutters:: Self: Guess hiding out in the flight deck wasn't all too bright.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::shakes his head, not quite in the mood for a vacation now:: *CTO*: Understood. The men are anxious to...kick off their boots as it were. If there is time, perhaps we may speak before the day is over?
 
CEO Syren
 ::ignores the strange looks Macxa throws his way:: Macxa: Ok I’m ready. You'll be in charge till I get back ::heads out of his office to the nearest docking port::

OPS Ko’Bil
 <Duty OPS> CO: Yes ma'am. ::puts the message on the screen::

CNS DiDomnia
 @::is wandering a little aimlessly and enters the promenade, figuring it won't be difficult to get lost in the throngs of various species that are there::

CTO Grey-Feather
 *TO*: Sounds like a good idea to me, I should be on the station shortly, keep me updated...Grey-feather out

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::heads for his quarters before going to the station::
     
ACTION: On screen the face of a Rigelian woman appears. 

CMO Jakiel
 ::walks into her quarters and immediately looks around for the kitten, wanting to get to the station to spend time with her favorite Andorian...and not to be alone on the station always having the kidnapping on her mind::
 
CO K’Beth
 COM: Woman: This Captain K'Beth...how may I help you?

CSO Tarrez
 ::continues to analysis her latest test of the Taltacian Redbud Flower::

CNS DiDomnia
 @::looks around at all sorts of gambling establishments, dark-windowed places that could only be businesses catering to "loose morals," bars and taverns until she happens on a comparatively calm, friendly-looking place that is ironically named the "Black Widow"::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::looks up at the viewscreen and listens, hasn't seen too many Rigelians in his time::

CMO Jakiel
 ::finds Midnight curled up on a chair that's been pushed under the table and pets him, itching under his chin dutifully.  Checks his food and water.
     
Yeoman Elise
@ COM: CO: Captain K'Beth, I am Captain Ramsey's aide.  I just wanted to say welcome to Ke'Po Vor and that the Captain is waiting to speak with you as soon as you are able.
 
CO K’Beth
 COM: Yeoman: Thank you, we are happy to be here...and please inform Captain Ramsey I'll be heading his way in just a few minutes.
 
CEO Syren
 ::stumbles towards the airlock with the heavy pack on his back:: Self: I must be mad to be doing this. Arondight shore leave is a death wish
     
Yeoman Elise
 @ ::nods and the communiqué ends::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::is partly grateful Arondight has only photon torpedoes, for quantums would take much longer to secure given the noticeable mood of the crew:: CPO: Thanks chief, for wrapping things up.   All in armory: You're all dismissed. Enjoy your time. I'm available anytime, at all times, just in case you have any questions on this station's protocols.

CSO Tarrez
 ::smiles and makes notes about the variation in color of this one::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::gets a few thing from his quarters and heads for the station::

CMO Jakiel
 ::wishes she could change out of uniform but rules are to be obeyed and walks on out and down the hallway::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::locks down the last system and gets ready to leave the bridge::

OPS Ko’Bil
 <Duty OPS> ::Closes the Comm link::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::sighs and gives the crew's work one last visual once-over before he leaves for his quarters::

CNS DiDomnia
 @::sits down at a table out of the way to watch the goings-on - it's definitely a bar, but most of the patrons are calm and courteous - except one, who keeps guiltily looking at the woman tending bar and then away, as if he's trying to see if she's watching him::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::stands up and straightens her jacket.  To no one in particular:: Out loud: Looks like I'm off to see Captain Ramsey. ::calls for the Duty Officer and then heads to the turbo lift::

CSO Tarrez
 ::makes a quick note on her PADD and then places the sample back into the next drawer::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Want an escort?  The CO should not travel alone ::grins::

CSO Tarrez
 ::pulls out the next sample::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::rides the turbolift to deck 2, then enters his quarters, feeling like unpacking the rest of his things, but instead turns to face the bathroom mirror:: Self: I can't relax...not like this.

CNS DiDomnia
 @::feeling a little conspicuous in her uniform as she's the only one in the place not wearing street clothing - briefly the thought crosses her mind that it makes her an easy mark, but she tries to banish it as quickly as it comes::

FCO Chottu
 ::goes through his messages, newest first, notices a request from engineering, flight deck personal and repair crews arguing again:: Self: That works. ::gets up and exits his quarters, leaving the rest of the messages for later::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::Arrives on the station and make his way around trying to get the lay out of the station::
  
Koosatui
 @ ::moves from one shelf to another in his small shop.  Dusting items here and there, rearranging... basically keeping himself busy::
 
CEO Syren
 ::as he nears the station's promenade he notices a couple Cardassians walk by and his hands move quickly to grab his phaser. He pauses and turns to the Security guard:: Guard: Look at me, I am Keyser Syren, CEO. If I’m not back in two hours I want you to start blasting this place apart, OK.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::chuckles and gestures to Dog who is following behind her:: CTO: Thank you Lt...but I already have an escort.  Besides...I'd like for you to scope out the station promenade while you are on leave.  Look for any trouble spots that the crew might run into. ::steps into the turbo lift::

CMO Jakiel
 ::makes her to the airlock to stand looking through it as others pass through, then looks back down the hallway.   Finds she cannot make herself go on into the station alone and waits patiently, nodding to other crewmen that address her::
 
CEO Syren
 <Security Guard> ::frowns at Keyser:: CEO: Um...sure you don't want to stay aboard sir?

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Yes ma'am

CSO Tarrez
 <Owyn> ::walks into the lab and looks around.  Notes that it is deserted except for Sykora.::  CSO: Honey?
 
TO Kizlev
 ::straightens his uniform collar and unties the knot cord letting his long white hair hang down and loose, considering a haircut after having grown it for years::

FCO Chottu
 ::steps into the TL as soon as it opens:: TL: Engineering.
 
CEO Syren
 Guard: What? Are you calling me a coward?

CNS DiDomnia
 @::goes back to watching the furtive-looking man, and her eyebrows shoot up when she sees him quickly exchange something with his partner underneath the table, then look up at the bartender woman again as his partner moves to leave::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::exits the turbo lift  when it stops and heads to the airlock.  Sees the CMO hovering there:: CMO: Doctor, is there a problem?
  
Koosatui
 @ ::moving to the front shop window, makes a few cuts on the Bonsai tree sitting on the display table::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: heads for the station in the next turbolift car after contacting his fiancée on the comm, they agreed to meet later on the station ::

CSO Tarrez
 ::had sensed him before he had gotten there and was ready::  Owyn: Owyn dear... what bring you here? I thought that you would have taken Hawkes for a little exploration of the new station.
 
CEO Syren
 <Security Guard> ::jumps back at Keyser's sudden outburst:: CEO: No! No! Of course not! You're a very brave man ::his voice begins to trail off:: who is visiting a starbase with a survival pack

CMO Jakiel
 ::straightens up on hearing the Captain::  CO: I am only waiting for someone.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::shakes his head a bit, letting his hair ruffle up a bit, then takes a deep breath and walks out, ready to give this so-called relaxation time a try::

CNS DiDomnia
 @::without so much as a word, the woman, accompanied by two gigantic men, one on either side, converge on the table - one of the men grabs the departing partner, while the woman grabbed the furtive-man and shoved him down against the table - hard::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::makes his way around the promenade looking in different shops trying to avoid anyone else::
 
CEO Syren
 ::glares at officer for a few seconds:: Guard: Good keep it that way. ::ventures onto the station sliding stealthily along the bulkheads and glancing every which way:: 

CSO Tarrez
<Owyn> ::hesitantly::  CSO: I thought perhaps we might... you know... have some time alone on the station.

CO K’Beth
 ::smiles as she passes by:: CMO: Very well....but make certain you have a chance to explore the station.  Do you good to get out and mingle a bit. ::definitely decides to contact Ariel later that evening::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::in a couple of minutes, he finds Rhianna waiting near the airlock for him as the other crewmembers walk past:: CMO: You should be on the station already.

@ACTION: The crowd in the Black Widow begins to stir, some laughing at the man's foolishness, others unpleased with the watchful eyes.

FCO Chottu
 ::looks around, some awkward feeling arising, feeling like he's about to fall over quickly leans against the TL wall::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::nods to K'Beth:: CO: Captain.

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Furtive Man>Bartender: I swear to the gods, Ashlynn I wasn't doin nothing!  What are you roughin me up for? ::looks like he's trying to be tough but is really just scared::

CSO Tarrez
 ::feels his emotions and knows she can't tell him no for fear that he will know something is up::

FCO Chottu
 ::notices he's still standing quite upright and frowns a little:: Self: Something familiar..
 
CO K’Beth
 TO: Hello Lt...ready to see our new home?

CSO Tarrez
 ::smiles::  Owyn: I think that is a wonderful idea.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: exits turbolift and walks up to the rest ::

CNS DiDomnia
@<Ashlynn> Big Goon 1: Search him, Rafi.  ::Rafi searches and pulls a small bag of white powder out of the Furtive Man's coat, and gives it to Ashlynn::

CSO Tarrez
 Owyn: Give me a moment, okay.

CMO Jakiel
 ::gives at Kizlev for a moment, wanting to say something, but the Captain is there and turns back to K'Beth::  CO: I will Captain, and the Lieutenant is the one I was waiting for.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::antennae twitch, not much thrilled with the prospect of being on a Cardassian-built station, and shrugs:: CO: I more consider the Arondight home, actually, ma'am.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Hello doctor, don't believe we have met...I am Lieutenant Grey-feather ship CTO :: smiles ::

CSO Tarrez
 ::turns back around and makes her self busy with clean things up::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Ashlynn>::glaring at Furtive Man:: You know my rules.... ::lifts his head up to meet her eyes, then shoves it back on the table:: What are the rules??
  
Koosatui
 @ ::finished, he looks with a judgmental eye at his handiwork.  A quick nod, he places the tools back on the table and heads to the rear of the shop, passing through a pair of heavy curtains on the way::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks at her wrist chronometer after smiling at the young couple:: CMO/TO: Good....give this station a chance...we'll be home ported here for a while. And if you will excuse me...I have an appointment. ::heads off into the station::

CNS DiDomnia
@ ::watches intently - has never seen such a small woman get this angry, or command the attention of an entire room like the one called Ashlynn is doing::

CSO Tarrez
 <Owyn> ::not knowing what else to do, walks up behind her and hugs her tightly::  CSO:  I love you.

CMO Jakiel
 CTO:  No, I am sorry, we have not met.  I am Rhianna, and you?

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Joshua, nice to meet you.  Rhianna is a very unique name

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Furtive Man>::stammering:: Ashlynn: Nnn-no guns, n-no whores, no d-drugs...  I wasn't doing nothin, honest!

FCO Chottu
 ::slowly steps out of the TL as it arrives in engineering, looking around and shrugging:: Engineer: Keyser around? No matter, point me to whomever’s in charge. ::hoping to avoid another endless argument with the headstrong CEO, the thought bringing a smile::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::regards the CTO and offers him a nod as well:: CTO: Sir, armory is secure as per your orders.

CSO Tarrez
 ::closes her eyes as he draws her near and her body trembles a bit::  Owyn: I love you too ::her statement full of honesty::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::walks by a bar where there seems to be a big scene going on and decides to pass it by::

CSO Tarrez
 ::rubs his arms a bit::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Ashlynn> ::holds the bag up to his face:: Furtive Man: This says differently. ::nods to Rafi:: Rafi: Take him out.

CMO Jakiel
 ::wants to back out of this conversation and is glad Kizlev has spoken up so she can stay quiet::

FCO Chottu
 <Engineer> ::looks up and smirks deviously, then points and says nothing::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::realizes this is perhaps the first face to face moment he's had with Grey-feather since boarding Arondight::
 
CO K’Beth
 @::walks down and notes the various species and types of people on the station.  Stops to look at a map console to find the quickest way to the station command center.::

CTO Grey-Feather
 TO: Good work Kizlev.  Try to enjoy the time here, will likely be some time before we get more R&R.

CSO Tarrez
 ::turns herself around in his arms and smiles::  Owyn: How about some dinner on the station?

CNS DiDomnia
 @::the Furtive man and his partner are both dragged out of the Black Widow by Rafi and the other goon, neither of whom has said a single word during this exchange.  The goons take them onto the promenade, past the flower shop, and toss them unceremoniously on the ground, then leave without another glance at the drug dealer or his partner::

CEO Syren
 ::as he rounds a corner Keyser spots a little store filled with the most outrageously putrid excuses for art he had ever seen...it was a miracle:: Self: Vulcan art! Mother loves this stuff
 
TO Kizlev
 ::looks towards the station, then back towards the ship corridors:: CTO: I would have preferred more drill and training time with the men, but I trust the captain's judgment.

CSO Tarrez
 ::sees him smile and nod his agreement and the two turn to go to the station... Owyn's arm around her lovingly::
  
@ACTION: Suddenly Ko'Bil finds himself in the middle of a rainforest... this section of the station has been remodeled as a very large arboretum.

CMO Jakiel
 ::tries to suppress her nervousness about going onto the station, glances out the airlock now and then, watching others leave so easily::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Ashlynn>::addressing the crowd who was now staring at her, silent:: Anyone else?  ::looks around at their shocked faces, then turns and heads back to the bar - briefly catches Dom's eye and looks shocked for a second at the SF uniform, but shakes it off and goes back to work::

CTO Grey-Feather
 TO: There will be plenty of time for training.  Yes I have heard good things about this captain from an old friend of mine.  K'Vas claims there is not a finer captain in all of Starfleet

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::checks out where he is suddenly at and tend to get a bit nervous as he has never been in anything like this before::
 
CO K’Beth
 @::looks down at Dog:: Dog: Looks like it is just over this way. ::heads off looking curiously in all the shop windows as she passes by::

CSO Tarrez
 ::arrives at the airlock and starts to depart the ship as she sees the CMO::  CMO: Doc is there something wrong?
 
TO Kizlev
 ::grins, not sure if command officers should bother to be in competition with each other:: CTO: I look forward to our first real mission here. CMO: Ready to explore, Dr. Jakiel? ::winks at her::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::starts moving through the forest and see that nothing is happening and tend to relax and enjoy the scenery::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Jakiel???
 
CO K’Beth
 @::finally finds the entrance and heads into the command center stopping at the aide's desk:: Yeoman Elise: Hello Yeoman...Please inform Captain Ramsey that Captain K'Beth is here to see him.

FCO Chottu
 ::frowns at the Engineer and walks in the direction he was pointed towards, looking back at him wondering what the smirk is about::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::antennae spring up in surprise by the CTO's reaction to the name, and gazes at him in wonder::

CMO Jakiel
 ::turned abruptly to look at the new tactical officer at mention of K'Vas, then hears the science officer::  CSO:  We were just about ready to leave for the station.  TO:  Very much.  ::smiles at his wink::  I heard of one fascinating place...

CSO Tarrez
 CTO: You know Captain K'Vas?
  
Yeoman Ellis
 @ ::shows the Captain right into Ramsey's office for a behind closed doors meeting::
 
CEO Syren
 ::quickly crosses the promenade and enters the art store, if you call it that:: Shopkeeper: Hey how you doing. I'm looking for a present to buy off my mothe - um - for my mothers birthday

CNS DiDomnia
 @::as Dom continues to watch, shocked not only that a bar in deep space actually has a "no guns, no whores, no drugs" policy but someone who looked to be 5' 4" and 100 lbs soaking wet could enforce it, another woman enters the bar from the back room, looking to be a carbon copy of Ashlynn except a few years younger - a sister maybe?::

CMO Jakiel
 ::whispers to Kizlev urgently  while the CSO and CTO speak::  TO:  Please, can we leave now?

CTO Grey-Feather
 CSO: Yes commander, we were roommates in the academy.  Know him and his wife Ariel

CSO Tarrez
 ::smiles:: CTO: K'Vas was my chief tactical officer of the Del.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::nods to Rhianna:: CTO/CSO: Please excuse us. Was good meeting you both. CMO: Let's go.

CMO Jakiel
 ::feels almost faint finding so many know many know Ariel::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::laughs:: CSO: Did you have to get a taller tactical station for him?

CMO Jakiel
 CTO/CSO:  Good to meet you.  ::takes Kizlev's arm::
 
CO K’Beth
 <Crewman Dorfus> ::stands patiently behind the gaggle of officers at the airlock waiting to get onto the station.  Shifts from foot to foot wondering what the hold up is::
  
Koosatui
 @ ::emerges again from the back of the shop, a small tube in his hand.  He moves behind a counter and slowly removes the wax seal on the tube::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Ashlynn>::to the new entrant:: Adrienne, I have a job for you - I need to put your "persuasive skills" to work kid ::grins::

CTO Grey-Feather
 TO: Enjoy yourself, I will talk to you later

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::walks along and suddenly realizes that he can't see either an exit or the entrance::

CSO Tarrez
 ::chuckles as she looks at Owyn::  CTO: Well definitely a larger evac suit.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Nice to meet you too Rhianna.

FCO Chottu
 ::pausing next to an opened console, catching a familiar scent, not able to place it, looks back and frowns at the engineer once more:: Self: What's going.. Ooff.. ::finds himself on the floor a second later::

CSO Tarrez
 ::nods to the CMO and TO::

CSO Tarrez
 ::moves out of the way of the enlisted personnel as they move onto the station::

TO Kizlev
 @::places a reassuring hand on Rhianna's arm as he enters the station with her, then whispers to her:: CMO: You seem to have been caught off guard there. Are you okay?

CMO Jakiel
 @ ::says quietly and confidentially to Kizlev as they walk off::  TO: I am sorry...it was just unnerving.  I spoke to Father... ::shakes her head::  I mean my grandfather.

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::looks over at the man standing next to the CSO :: CSO: Yeah K`Vas has been like a brother to me for years, I am afraid his habit of drinking cream soda is my fault  :: grins ::

CNS DiDomnia
@<Adrienne>::completely ignores Ashlynn's request:: Ashlynn: Mom, that was awesome - the pusher totally had it coming to him ::excitedly:: So what are Rafi and Little Tom gonna do to him?  Any bone breaking?
 
CO K’Beth
 <Crewman Dorfus>:: Sees an opening and darts through it trying not to touch any officers as he moves onto the station::
 
CSO Tarrez
 CTO: I always thought that was so cute... but don't you dare tell him I said that. ::smirks::

FCO Chottu
 ::slowly things start coming together almost afraid to look at what came out from behind the console tackling him while he wasn't looking where he was going::

CNS DiDomnia
 @::tries to keep from staring at Ashlynn and Adrienne's conversation, although the situation in the bar was growing more intriguing by the minute - "mom"??  They couldn't have been more than 15 years apart in age, and that was pushing it::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::starts getting nervous again:: Self; This is foolish if I continue down this path I will surely find my way out.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CSO: Are you kidding, I am not about to tell that giant that he does anything cute.

CSO Tarrez
 CTO: Oh I am terribly amiss... I am Commander Sykora Tarrez-Hunter... and this is my husband Owyn.

@ACTION: Ko'Bil finds another interesting portion of the station, a section of the forest for pets to play freely in.  There are all sorts of animals running and playing with their masters close at hand.

CSO Tarrez
 ::chuckles::
 
CEO Syren
 @<Shopkeeper> ::smiles at Keyser's choice of words, which only served to make the Ferengi look more menacing:: CEO: Yes I think I have just what you're looking for. 
 
TO Kizlev
 @CMO: Would you believe that was the first time I personally met our CTO?

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: nods to both :: CSO/Owyn: Sorry my big mouth runs off sometimes.  Nice to meet you both.  I am Joshua Grey-feather

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Ashlynn>Adrienne: You’re taking way to much pleasure in this. ::grins:: Plus, you completely bypassed my request - one of our clients hasn't paid off his tab in months, which includes a private party for 100 people.  I need you and your attitude to pay him a visit - see if you can't get some past-due payment out of him.

CSO Tarrez
 ::smiles::  CTO: Know that I think about it, I believe I did hear K'Vas talk about you.

FCO Chottu
 ::tries not to breath, looking down to identify what's laying on him::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::suddenly see all the animals running about freely and stops in tracks not wanting to attract their attention::

CMO Jakiel
 @ ::tries to relax as they walk through the station::  TO:  It is?  But I thought you work together?  How long has he been on the ship?  ::remembers something::  Oh, could we please visit the arboretum...I found this station has such a place and I would like to see it.

CNS DiDomnia
@<Adrienne>::for the moment, ignores the drug-pushing incident:: Ashlynn: That's the third non-payer this month - what are you gonna do without me in a few weeks? ::cocky smile::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CSO: Good things I hope.  I have heard of you two though.  He was your best man as I recall...he called me and had me explain what was expected of him
 
CEO Syren
 @::frowns at the Ferengi's choice. It looked like a semi-normal piece:: Shopkeeper: That won't do. It's nowhere near ugly er um "artistic' enough for her tastes.

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::watches the animals for a bit remembering what the CTO had told him about them::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Ashlynn>Adrienne: Oh, I'm sure I can find some other headstrong, overly confident teenager to help me out.  And take Little Tom with you for some muscle - these people aren't always nice.

CSO Tarrez
 <Owyn> ::laughs::  CTO: I wish I could have heard that conversation::
 
TO Kizlev
 @::chuckles with all her rushed questions:: CMO: Yes, yes, and not very long, like us. And yes, I would love to see the arboretum. ::smiles and kisses her on the forehead::

@ACTION: Kizlev and Rhianna pass by a Cardassian bar from which they can hear much drunken singing.  Probably is best they don't understand the words.

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> ::moves to lean on her arms and hover over the person she ran down, annoyed more then anything, looking up and seeing who loses her balance and falls down again::

CNS DiDomnia
 @::Little Tom and Rafi re-enter the bar from having "dealt with" the drug dealer - Rafi heads for the back while Little Tom stands by Adrienne, having heard Ashlynn's request::

FCO Chottu
 ::pinned still after an awkward 4 seconds of silence:: Macxa: Hey you..

CTO Grey-Feather
 Owyn: Before or after I told him that he would have to stand and recite the lineage of both families, but since there was a Betazoid involved he had to do it in the nude

CSO Tarrez
 ::both laugh::  CTO: Would you like to have supper with us?  We were just heading out to grab a bite to eat.

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::notices that none of then sound like an angry Klingon and decides to move to a bench and set down and watch them::

CMO Jakiel
 @ ::smiles up at Kizlev, slightly embarrassed with herself::  TO:  Thank you...the description made it sound like a beautiful place.  Mr. Grey-feather is his name?  He did seem friendly.

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> ::struggles to get up not saying a word::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CSO: It would be my pleasure.  ::grins:: I would introduce you to my fiancée and have her join us but she is a little under the weather

CSO Tarrez
 ::feels her husband tense up only slightly at her invite of the CTO::

FCO Chottu
 ::finally able to get up, straightening his uniform, brushing off some dust... straightening commbadge.. out of things to keep busy with::
 
TO Kizlev
 @::notices the bar and decides to keep walking after giving it a good, suspicious glance:: CMO: Yes...that he seems. I must admit, I don't feel very comfortable here.
  
@ ACTION: A small kitten finds its way to Ko'Bil.

CSO Tarrez
 CTO: I hope that she does get to feeling better. ::starts to move out onto the station::  May I inquire the name of your fiancée?
 
CEO Syren
 @<Shopkeeper> ::still smiling in the partially scary way only a Ferengi can:: CEO: Yes of course, maybe I an interest you in this 23rd century Marok-era vase ::and he pulls out a most vile specimen::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Adrienne>Ashlynn: Sure, but I don't know how much my "persuasive skills" are going to be needed when I have 300 lbs of goon to back me up ::looks up at Little Tom with a sly smirk - he looks down with his best impression of a smile, but that doesn't say much::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::sees the Kitten come up to him and watches what happens a little nervous::
  
Koosatui
 @ <Kitten>  ::sniffs at Ko'Bil's feet::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CSO: Elizabeth.  Its my fault we went to the holodeck and I showed her some of the games Seminole children play getting ready for adulthood.  Horseback riding, archery, and alike...think she strained something
 
CEO Syren
 @::a grin spreads across Keyser's face. This just might be what he needs to smooth things over with dear old mom:: Shopkeeper: Perfect, how much?

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> FCO: Why haven't you...

FCO Chottu
 Macxa: When did you...

CMO Jakiel
@ ::shakes her head, walking close beside Kizlev::  TO:  Coming onto the station is... very hard for me too.  I did not want to, but I know I should...  ::gives Kizlev a shadowed look::

FCO Chottu
 ::a second awkward silence follows::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::determines that the kitten isn't going to hurt him and reaches down and pets it::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::follows the CSO and her husband onto the station::
  
Koosatui
 @ <Kitten>  ::pulls back at first, but then allows Ko'Bil to pet it.. begins to purr::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Adrienne>::exits the Black Widow and goes down the hallway to a store that dealt in old, weird art, and was run by an older, weirder Ferengi - enters and sees him with a Starfleet officer and some vase, Little Tom close behind::

CSO Tarrez
 @CTO/Owyn: So have either of you heard about a place to eat here?
 
TO Kizlev
 @::notices a Breen walking amongst the crowd and immediately becomes very suspicious, narrowing his eyes in that direction, his combat senses building up, as if readying for another battle::
 
CEO Syren
 @<Shopkeeper> CEO: Only 1200 credits

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> ::gains a stern expression:: FCO: Why haven't you said hi before?

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::hear the noise that the kitten is making and wonder if it is getting ready to attack::

CTO Grey-Feather
 @CSO: I haven't
 
TO Kizlev
 @::takes a deep, nervous breath, and shakes his head trying to forget about the war:: Self: Not a good time for this to happen...
  
Koosatui
 @ <Kitten>  ::suddenly leaps into the OPS's lap::

CSO Tarrez
 @<Owyn> CSO: Nor have I.

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Adrienne>::snickers under her breath as the shopkeeper is obviously rooking the SF guy - 1200 is about twice what the piece is worth.  Decides to sit back and watch the show before she and Little Tom try to "persuade" the Ferengi to pay up::

FCO Chottu
 ::feels like taking 2 steps back and getting into defensive stance:: Macxa: I didn't know you were here!

CMO Jakiel
 @ ::follows Kizlev gaze and tenses, the horrible mask making her fears worse than the feeling that she wasn't even 'aware' of the man's presence.  Her eyes remain on the Breen until they are well passed::

CEO Syren
 @:: glances at the vase then at the Ferengi:: Shopkeeper: I don't get it? Is it edible? Does it hold the secret of life?

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> FCO: I left you 6 messages!

CSO Tarrez
 @CTO/Owyn: Well I suppose we will find something ::smiles brightly::

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::gets real nervous thinking the kitten is attacking and waits to see what happens next::

FCO Chottu
 ::thinks to self:: Self: No wonder I got 12 in a week.
  
Koosatui
 @ <Kitten>  ::rubs up against OPS, continuing to purr::

CTO Grey-Feather
 @CSO: Just as long as it is not Klingon, I hate chasing my dinner

CNS DiDomnia
 @::after watching the exchange between the bartender and the drug dealer, then the bartender and the daughter, is getting the impression that this is a very interesting little place indeed::
 
TO Kizlev
 @CMO: I thought I managed to live down all my old feelings, as I'm sure you're noticing right now. Anything having or once had to do with the Dominion...disturbs me it seems. I'm sorry if I'm fueling your discomfort here.

FCO Chottu
 Macxa: I never got to reading any messages till earlier, I've been, uh, busy, yes.

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::sees that the kitten isn't harming him and the noise that the kitten is making seems to be soothing::

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> ::silently glares::

CSO Tarrez
 @CTO: How about this place? ::points to a eatery with a Ferengi name::
 
CEO Syren
 @<Shopkeeper> ::glances at the new comers and suddenly becomes more receptive:: CEO: ok 900 then. It's a real bargain at that

CMO Jakiel
 @ TO:  No, it alright... I just was startled.  Telepaths cannot 'hear' that species.

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Adrienne>::decides to make this interesting:: CEO: Neither... it's fake.  He's trying to charge you that much for it because he needs the money - he owes my mother almost twice that much.

CSO Tarrez
 @::sees her first Breen and tenses suddenly::

CNS DiDomnia
 @<Adrienne>::smirks at the shopkeeper::
 
TO Kizlev
 @::nods his head:: CMO: So I was once told by an old...::hesitates with the word:: ...acquaintance. I believe the arboretum is this way. ::points to an access junction just ahead::

CTO Grey-Feather
 @:: is looking at the Ferengi place wondering if the prices will be that bad and notices the CSO tense up:: CSO: Are you alright commander?

OPS Ko’Bil
 @::starts petting the kitten again and then thinks that this animal must belong to some one and starts looking to see if anyone is looking for it::

CEO Syren
 @::turns to the lady then back to the Ferengi:: ALL: I see...well don't let me get in your way of collecting ::quickly heads towards the door::

FCO Chottu
 ::sighs and looks apologetic, almost puppy eyes:: Macxa: Sorry, I've been avoiding my quarters ever since the Captain dragged me around because I wasn't spending enough time outside of my quarters...

CMO Jakiel
 @ TO:  You will have to tell me more about the Dominion...I have read very little about them.  ::smiles, glad to get to a place so serene::

CSO Tarrez
 @::much softer, her eyes not leaving the Breen for a moment::  CTO: Everything is alright... ::breaks her gaze and turns to smile at them both::  Let's give it a try.

FCO Chottu
 <Macxa> ::melts:: FCO: You're not going anywhere not that I have you here though.
