Captain's Log, Stardate 10704.29

The USS Arondight and USS Citiadel have successfully returned to the proper time and place, as we had left it. Both crews have succeeded in their mission, which was to return Admiral Winters back to our time. Now that both vessels have returned, the crews of the Arondight and Citiadel have been reunited once again.

Our previous mission has been deemed classified. Because of this, all officers are ordered not to speak of the last mission to anyone, not even amongst one another. On a high note, Starfleet Command has granted the crew one week of Shore Leave on Denali Station.

The Arondight has just docked and Commander Madson will coordinate all Shore Leave schedules. I, for one, am looking forward to a great Shore Leave.

End Log.

::lounging about the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::sitting on the bridge and yawns::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley makes her way out of her Quarters, her destination Denali Station:: *XO*: Yates to Madson.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: taking care of a few thing in her quarters before going to the station::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::can hardly wait to be off duty and indulge his desires::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::finishes yawning:: *CO*: Yes, Captain?

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::wandering around the station in a daze::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
*XO*: Commander, please coordinate Shore Leave rotations as you see fit. From this point on, the crew is now officially on leave. ::She says this with a smile on her face::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::leans against the arm of her chair and looks back at Scott after hearing him yawn and smiles, about to ask him something, but stops as he comms the Captain::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::steps onto the bridge and freezes in his tracks seeing another Cardassian on the bridge::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::hearing the CO wonders if she has a smile on her face::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She looks down at her uniform for a moment. Ashley contemplates rather she should have changed into civilian clothing, but decides against it for the time being::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins pacing the bridge with her hands behind her back, the boots scraping the deck::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
XO: Sounds like we're going to get that much needed down time.  ::contemplates for a moment::  Do you have a few minutes?  If you're going to take shore leave, too?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::glares at the CIV as he walks to the CTO:: CTO: I have those inspection results from the phasers you asked for. ::Holds up a PADD::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley makes her way into one of the Turbo Lifts, which she orders to the Docking Ring::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: heads for the Bridge ::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::distracted::  TO:  What?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CTO: The phaser inspections sir?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::gets up and walks around to the CTO and whispers very quietly:: CTO: I'm going to send everyone on shore leave, including yourself.  However...::looks about and whispers quieter::...I don't exactly trust Glinn...so, make sure she stays out of trouble.  I'll try to make an effort to do the same.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::confused by two people talking to him at once::  XO/TO: Right.  Very good.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
XO: So Commander...  I see the Captain puts you in command for all the important missions like...  ::pauses::  Shoreleave rotation.  ::smiles::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::looks at the CIV and glares::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley waits as the Turbo Lift moves toward its destination. She against the back of it as the humming sound begins to soften until it is heard no more. She then exits the lift::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::wonders if coming here was a mistake::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::stands up, waiting for Scott to answer, looks away while he talks to the chief tactical::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::clears his throat:: CIV: Indeed.  ::coughs again:: Perhaps, you could join me for a drink on the station?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: enter the bridge and see the Cardassian with the XO and moves to her station to check out some things while keeping an eye on the Glinn::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::thinks its probably too late to turn back now::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
Self: Why would anyone want to drink with that?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@::Yates makes her way onto Denali Station. She passes through the Security Check-Point without difficulties::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::inspects her fingernails::  XO: I'd love to Commander but I have more important things to take care of like... polish my Armour.  ::drops her hand to her side::  If you'll excuse me.  ::heads for the TL::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@~~~::searches for her::~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CNS/FCO/CIV/TO: Notify your off shift replacements.  Once they are here to relieve you, your shore leave can begin.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::assumes that means he's excused.  Tosses the PADD with the report onto his console and makes a beeline for the exit::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: That was a bit disrespectful.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CTO: And you to, didn't mean to miss you.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: hears what the XO said and move up beside him:: XO: Sir weren't we going to have drinks?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::calls back::  XO:  Gotcha.  ::enters the turbolift::

ACTION: The XO feels a tingling sensation run through his body as Shelaya moves beside him.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::stepping into the lift:: XO: Replacement?  ::looking puzzeled::  I'm an observer from the Cardassian Union Commander.  I don't have a replacement.  ::smiles as the TL doors close::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::has an idea where she might be and heads that way::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::after the doors shut:: CIV: Pray tell, why didn't we do something about her.  ::sighs::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::shakes his head:: Outloud: Cardassian scumbag.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wishes the CIV hadn't taken this lift::  CIV:  Hi there.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@::Ashley begins to walk along the station with her hands folded behind her back. She is not sure where exactly she wants to go; just that she wants to go somewhere to forget about Starfleet for a while::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::sees Yates.  Stops and watches her::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::feels a little odd:: TO: Um, watch....watch what you say there.
FCO/CNS: Well, why don't we both have a drink then?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::looks over at the CTO::  CTO: Ah.. if it isn't the ever surprising Lieutenant Ki.  I've been meaning to tell you how impressed I was at your actions on the Resistance De Capo's rebel base.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@::She makes her way over to a small cart selling some sort of slushed drinks. Ashley decides to purchase one of them::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: Just say where and I will be there :: gives the XO a coy little smile as she says it::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::eyes the CIV::  CIV:  The feeling is mutual.  I expected you to betray us at any moment.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
XO: Yes sir. I'm sorry. It's just, they're so rude.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks the hybrid flight officer over for a second and then smiles at her and Scott::  XO:  Sure.  It seems like forever since I've gotten a chance to talk to you.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::steps up behind her::  CO:  Ashley.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::smiles slyly::  CTO: The year is still young.  ::changes subject::  You heading to the surface?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  To the station?  Yes.  I plan to drink myself into oblivion.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CTO: Mind if I join you?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::walks over to the TL and steps in::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@::As Mikal's voice is heard, she nearly throws the drink she was just given into the air:: Luchena: Mikal? ::She turns to face him, noticing immediately that something does not seem right:: Luchena: What are you doing way out here?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  If you like, although people tell me I get surly when I'm drinking.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CNS/FCO: Um, I'll...I'll leave it to your both to decide where...is it cold in here?

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@CO:  I came to see you.  I have news of the Pendragon.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::taps his foot as he waits to get out of the TL and off the station::

D_CSEC_LtCmdr_Xaz says:
@::Xaz makes her way along the Promenade, watching the civilians and Starfleet visitors as they mingle amongst one another. She looks over a PADD and notices that the USS Arondight has just docked. An Akira Class... impressive::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::smiles::  CTO: Then I think I shall enjoy this.  ::Watches as the TL doors open::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: hears the CNS and thinks that she really doesn't need her company with the XO::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::follows the CIV::  CIV:  Some place dark and gloomy.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::raises an eyebrow and looks directly at Shelaya as she answers::  XO:  Now that depends on how you feel?  ::chuckles::  There's a little pub on the station.  You mind if I walk with you there?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@::She smiles warmly toward him:: Luchena: And what news would that be?

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@::struggling to keep himself together::  CO:  She's destroyed.  Gone.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::steps onto the station's Promenade and stops to look around::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::waits patiently as the TL doors open and steps off and head towards the Promenade:: Self: I am so going to enjoy this shoreleave.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::mentally drools a bit:: Self: Beeeeeeeer.
FCO/CNS: Now a bottomless pint of beer sounds great to me.  After you both.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@::Her eyes widen in horror:: Luchena: Destroyed? But... when? How?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::spots one that looks promising::  CTO: How about that one?  ::points to the sign that reads The Buckets 'o Blood::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: moves up and whispers in the XO's ear:: XO: I know she is your Aunt but if you could loose her shortly we could have a lot more fun together. :: Smiles::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
@CO:  A single psychopath took her down.  We lost twelve.  Fifteen are still missing.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::heads for the turbolift and just shakes her head, turns around as she enters::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  Looks good to me.  ::heads towards the establishment::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::following the CTO::  CTO: Do you think we'll see other members of the Arondight in here?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: A single person took down the entire ship? ::She is speechless:: Luchena: I'm just glad you're alive! What about Jordan, Albaron, Jose, and the others?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::watches the CTO and CIV enter the bar curiously, then casually walks over and peaks inside watching them:;

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: follows the CNS off the Bridge::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  I hope  not.  ::looks grimly determined::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::points to a dark corner of the place::  CTO: That one look good?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::follows the CNS in the TL:: Self: Ummm...hehe...
FCO: Well, yeah...::can't find the words to reply::  Fnertz boo....::trails off and then thinks to self, "Idiot!"::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  Counsellor Dawson... no... you didn't know her.  Dead.  Edward Toms missing.  I....  I....  ::throws up his hands in a helpless gesture::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::slips in the doors behind some other patrons and finds a seat out of the way where he can see them::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: enter the TL with the XO and CNS::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  Perfect.  ::heads to the table::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She notices a Cardassian woman and scrawny looking man enter. She decides to make her way over to them:: CIV/CTO: Welcome. ::She smirks at them both::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::thinks desperate of something intelligent to say:: CNS/FCO: Soooo....how's the weather?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Fredikia:  Bring me some rum.  A full bottle and a couple of glasses.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She just watches Mikal, not sure if anything she said could comfort him:: Luchena: It is a terrible tragedy, Mikal, but you must remember that everything does happen for a reason. ::She takes his hands in her own:: Luchena: Edward will be found. He always manages to disappear and come back.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::moves his head trying to see around the waitress::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::eyes the assumable waitress as she sits::  Fredikia: Kanar

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::pretends to be totally unaware of the intense sexual overtures from Shelaya, but has a hard time trying not to smile.  Wishes she could have a few minutes with Scott to find out what's been on his mind so prominently::  XO/FCO:  Beer is it?  I'm sure they'll have any and every kind you can ever imagine.  The weather?  Hmmm, I'd say a bit chilly..

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: chuckles to herself a little at the XO's statement:: XO: It is getting to be quite nice.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  Umm.. Ashley.  I need to talk to you.  ::reaches out for her hand::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> CTO/CIV: As you wish. ::She departs in order to retrieve their orders::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Thinking to Self: How's the weather?  I'll tell you the weather, it's a freagin' vacuum in space.  That's how it is...morrrron!

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: You're talking to me now, Mikal. Perhaps we should take a walk? To clear your mind?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO/CNS: Yeah, I've heard it can be chilly in the great nothingness of space....::sighs::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::smiles::  CO:  My mind is very clear Ashley.  This experience made me realize something.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: sees that the XO is nervous and whisper to him:: XO: Just relax we can have a few drinks and then ditch the watchdog then we can have some fun.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO: So Lieutenant....  do you not have any Federation Officers you'd rather spend shoreleave with?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She makes her way back over with the bottle of rum and kanar. She places it before them and bends down on the table:: CTO/CIV: So, what brings you fleeters here?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  I have some... habits... that I'd rather my shipmates remained ignorant of.  How about you?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::gets off the turbolift and starts walking toward the airlock connecting them to the station::  XO:  Just a little.  FCO:  Ensign...so, was this your first post on a starship?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Fredikia: No let's get something straight.  I'm about as much Starfleet as I am about to start signing "It's a Pirate's Life for Me"

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She cocks her head slightly:: Luchena: Every experience teaches you something. ::She smiles:: Luchena: What has this one taught you?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: Yes it is I came here straight from the Academy.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::turns back to the CTO:: CTO: I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but I have trouble getting along with most Starfleet Officers.  So... ::pauses::  No-one

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> CIV: Then why are you hanging out with one? ::She points to the man:: CTO: No offense, but we don't get many of you in here.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  That I love you, and that's all that really matters.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Fredikia:  That's nice.  Thanks for the drinks.  Now go away.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::downs her Kanar then takes the two glasses to pour the Rum in::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::continues staring at the CTO and CIV::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: Well... I guess I'm glad you've realized that... ::She pauses for a moment:: Luchena: Of course, I thought you already did. ::She says with a slight smirk::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Well, you must have done pretty well, your piloting skills are very good.  ::points up ahead::  XO/FCO:  I think that might be one of the pubs...

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::feels a prickling on the back of his neck.  Looks over at the TO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::gets even more nervous at the FCO's comment and laughs a bit like a hyena at her latest comment:: CNS: Of course, she's only an ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She glares at the man:: CTO: Don't make me call one of your fleeters to remove you for being nasty. ::She taps him on the nose, grins, and walks away::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::after pouring out the two drinks hands one to the CTO and looks to see what he is looking at::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::hesitant::  CO:  I want to ask you something.  Promise not to laugh?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::ducks quick as he catches the CTO's gaze::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: walks along side the XO as they move towards the airlock::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::takes the drink and downs it quickly::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She breaks out in fake laughter:: Luchena: There... now the laughing is out of my system. What is it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::an image of a shuttle burning up in the atmosphere comes to mind:: CNS/FCO: Haha, yes.  Drinks.  I could definitely, haha, use one.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::spots the TO quickly look away::  CTO: Admirer of yours?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::tests the Terran drink carefully::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::sits back as he knows he is spotted::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::refills his glass::  CIV:  Don't know.  I never thought of... oh.  Never mind.  ::quickly downs his drink::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::gets down on one knee::  CO:  Would you consider... reconsider... marrying me.  Not now of course but when your ready.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::waves down the waitress::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She makes her way over to the TO:: TO: A fleeter that is Cardassian? Now that is something new! What would you like?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks away, about to start giggling at poor Scott's predicament and then gets a hold of herself::  XO/FCO: Personally, I'm a wine sort of girl.  Wine and cheese...  FCO:  How about you?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::after noticing the CTO down the second drink, she does the same with the Rum and taps the empty glass on the table::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::grins at the CIV:  CIV:  You know what I hate?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
Fredikia: Well not Cardassian by choice ma'am, but I will have an Andorian Ice Wine if its not too much trouble for you hun.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO: I say we walk over there and say "Hello"  ::hearing the CTO:: CTO: No... what?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: walks with the XO to the station:: CNS: I like wine myself however I don't care much for cheese.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  Starfleet.  Let's go.  ::gets up from his chair accidentally knocking it over::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley's facial expression suddenly dead pans:: Luchena: What do you mean, would I consider marrying you? Are you proposing?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::chuckles grabbing the bottle of Rum as she stands to leave with the CTO::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks up at her::  CO:  Yes.  Again.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO/CNS: Wine or beer is good for me.  More beer if I want to get hammered, and cheese makes me gaseous...

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She laughs:: TO: What do you mean not by choice?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: Which way to this little pub you were talking about?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::heads over towards the TO and Fredikia::  TO:  Mind if we sit?  ::plops himself down in a chair not waiting for an answer::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::sighs and rubs his head:: FCO/CNS: Oh my...that wasn't....::coughs:: needed....

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
Fredikia: I hate them. All of them. ::frowns a bit:: Fredikia: I know that isn't very Starfleet like.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: I... uh... seriously? ::She stares into his eyes, wanting to feel the sense of confirmation for herself::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::comes up to the entrance of the pub and walks through the swinging doors::  XO/FCO:  Right here.  A bit quaint, like the old western movies from Terra.  A saloon, I think I remember?  ::tries to ignore Scott's verbal faux pas::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks back at her, hiding nothing::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> TO: But... you're Cardassian? ::She taps him on the shoulder:: TO: You're an odd one. ::She leaves to place his order::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: This does seem like a nice little place.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::takes the other empty chair and slams the bottle of Rum on the table::  TO: Aye Matey...  ::grins imitating historical Pirate accent which she felt fitting in a bar of this name::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::smiles at her then looks at the CTO:: CTO: I don't like to drink with her kind.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::trying to recover:: FCO/CNS: I much prefer foods I have to crush with my bare hands to eat.  ::smiles and attempts to laugh at his own humor::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
TO:  I hate to tell you this but, you are her kind.  ::refills his glass and winks at the CIV::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::extends her hand toward the Cardassian Federation watchdog::  TO: I am Glinn Emsil Marat.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley's mind begins to think back to all of her experiences while on the Pendragon with Mikal and with him now that they have been apart. She does not say anything for quite some time:: Luchena: Then I'd have to say...

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::holding his breath::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CTO: Not by choice. ::looks at the CIV's hand:: CIV: Do you really expect me to shake the hand of a butcher?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: smiles warmly at the XO:: XO: Its alright sweetie we understand.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::walks up to a table and pulls a chair out, starts to laugh at Scott's comment and tries really hard to stifle it::  XO: Really?  I think I'm a little partial to silverware myself.  ::takes a seat and waves for a waiter::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: Yes! ::She smiles widely:: Luchena: I can't believe you're serious!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
TO:  Is that any way to talk to a lady?  ::getting quite drunk::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::snorts::  TO: If my hand is covered in the blood of others, then so is yours my confused friend.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CTO: I don't see one.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::gets to feet unbelieving::  CO:  Really?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She makes her way back over to the table and hands the Cardassian male his drink::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: I could always take it back if you'd like me to?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: takes a seat next to the XO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Thinks to Self: Yeah, they understand....they understand I'm a bumbling idiot.  ::takes a seat at the waiter and starts fiddling with a napkin::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
Fredikia: Thank you very much.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::takes the Rum bottle and refills her glass and moves it towards the TO's::  TO: Let's drink to a peaceful night where all differences are forgotten

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::eyes the TO::  Careful Mister.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:   No..no no.  I just...  ::grins::  You've made me so happy.  ::grabs the CO in an embrace::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::takes a sip of his own drink, not acknowledging the CIV::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
<Waiter> ::walks up to the table and flips out an old-fashioned pad of paper and pulls a pencil tucked behind his ear::  So pardners, what'll be your spirit, eh?  ::says with an Irish brogue::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::refills his glass yet again and notices they'll need a new bottle soon::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::turns to the CTO::  TO: I don't think this man is being very hospitable... do you?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She holds onto Mikal tightly:: Luchena: I still can't believe you asked me! I...

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: waits for the CNS to order::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::jumps to make his order:: Waiter: Pint, beer.  Dark....::pauses and coughs::
CNS/FCO: Ladies, you first.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  Maybe I should take him outside..  ::continues to drink::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::inhales the drink waiting for the CTO to answer::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: When your people learn how to be more hospitable to their orphaned young, I'll consider being more cordial.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She stands to the side, listening to the fleeters::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  Thank you.  ::nuzzles and kisses her neck::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::motions her drink toward the CTO:: CTO: Now that would be the gentlemanly thing to do.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She giggles a bit before pulling herself out of his arms:: Luchena: How long are you going to be here?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Waiter: I'll take a small glass of Rose wine and whatever cheeses you think would go with it.  ::sits back and crosses her legs::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::looks back at the TO, then motions to herself:: TO: I don't even have children.  How can you hold me responsible for the actions of others?

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  A couple of days, then I should head back... see what needs to be done for my crew.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
TO:  She has a point, you know.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: You're just as guilty.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She looks down at the deck. She had almost forgotten:: Luchena: What has Starfleet Command said?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::refils her glass noticing there isn't enough in the bottle to do so and motions for Fredikia::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
Waiter: I also will have a glass of Rose wine but I will also have a small salad with it instead.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  I don't know... I've been kind of... isolated from everything.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::pounds his Andorian Ice Wine down and gets up and walks to Fredikia to pay for his drink::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the TO walk away::  CIV:  And I thought I was confused.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::stands and follows the TO defiantly::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::gets up and hurries after the Glinn staggering somewhat::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She brings the Glinn more Kanar:: CIV/CTO: Your friend there doesn't seem to like you very much. ::She follows the CIV, so she can get the required payment from the TO::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
<Waiter> XO:  Aye, fine choice if yer lookin' to get smashed.  CNS:  And for you lady, I'll make sure to give you our finest selection.  FCO: Excellent.  Our cook makes the best.  House specialty.  All:  Be back in a minit...  ::turns and heads off::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::catches up to the TO and grabs his shoulder to bring him to a stop:: TO: Now hold on mister....

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::hands Fredikia some latinum, well overpaying for his drink by a few sticks::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She inclines her head:: Luchena: I'll see if I can pull some strings to get some information. ::She cannot help but smile. She had not been this happy in quite some time::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::spins around glaring at the CIV:: CIV: How dare you touch me?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at Scott, remembering::  XO:  Oh, Scott, did you get those pics of your brothers from your mother?  The twins have gotten so big!  And they look awfully energetic.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She watches the two Cardassians:: CTO: Can't you control these two?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
TO: How dare you insult me for things I haven’t done.  ::polishing of the near empty glass handing it to Fredikia::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  Ashley... I brought this on the ship.  I was responsible.  I might not be in Starfleet much longer.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
XO:  I don't know where Catherine gets the energy.  And I got some good news....  ::takes a drink of water that the waiter has left for them::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
TO: That's just like you Federation types... claiming to have an open mind and tolerant but when it comes down to it....

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: How are you responsible? What did you do?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CNS: Yes, I did.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: I'm of my own mind. I don't speak for the Federation.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: Sir rumor has it that you have a son yourself?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
TO: Then your own mind is racist!

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  The man who did it.  Remember how Jordan was so sick?  I got the cure from him, but he wasn't happy with the terms.  ::drops his head::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: The Cardassians made me this way.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She pauses for a moment. She only wished that she could have been there to cure Jordan herself:: Luchena: What were his terms?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO: I apologize, it has been quite I while since I had to do this, and she's dead now.  ::groans at the way it came out::  Ahem, yes...I do.  Found out just a short time ago.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::standing and watching, and swaying slightly::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::points at the skeletal frame on the TO's shoulder::  TO: You are Cardassian!

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: Will he be coming to the ship soon?

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  He wanted one of our woman.  I wouldn't let him keep her.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
<Fredikia> ::She cannot help but chuckle at the Cardassians::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: So, tell me Emsil, would you adopt an orphaned Cardassian?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::looks at her scrutinizingly::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at Shelaya and then Scott, then her eyes open as Shelaya asks and stops what she's about to say, feeling sorry for Scott and says softly::  XO:  Perhaps your son and Cherry could meet each other sometime.  I just got news that I'm her foster mother.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: One of your women? ::She raises an eyebrow:: Luchena: You must have done what was necessary to save your officers, Mikal. Those are the decisions you have to make.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO: Yes, I think once the Arondight's refit is done.  It'll be very new for me.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::tries to imagine the Glinn as a mother and fails completely::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
TO: I'm on the move too much, It would not be fair to the child.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CNS: Oh yes, what was your news?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::scoffs:: CIV: Any excuse is a good one. What if it was a siblings child?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Self: Idiot...
CNS: Or was that your news?

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  But the cost.. ::pauses and considers::  This conversation seems familiar.  Didn't we have one like it not long ago.  ::smiles::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: I hope that I can get a chance to meet him once he is aboard. I love children and get along with them quite nicely.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She smirks:: Luchena: Certain things are seen differently from a different point of view. I would have done the same thing in your shoes - at least I assume I would.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
XO:  The paperwork was approved.  ::shakes her head::  Not a problem.  I was beginning to wonder.  But...Cherry could sure use another friend.  I still can't get her to speak a single word.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::sighs thinking twice at the TO's last statement::  TO: My siblings are dead.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::frowns:: CIV: Did they have children?

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::softens his disposition a bit::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
::smiles more widely::  CO:  Or possibly not.  ::changes the subject::  So when are we going to do this?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO: I'm glad.  I might need some help keeping me from slapping the sucker when he acts up...::coughs::...that is, I've never struck a child recently, er, ever.
CNS: Not that I'd slap Cherry either, but, yeah.  That's great news.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::sighs::  Too young.   My entire family died too young.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
<Waiter>  ::comes carrying a pint of beer and the other glasses and plates with no amount of skill and starts setting them around the table::  All:  And here be yer grog and chow.  Do enjoy!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::sobers slightly::  CIV:  Oh.  I'm sorry.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: I am sure you will be a good father.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She pauses at the question. It still has not all sunk in:: Luchena: I... good question. The Arondight crew is due to depart in a week. I'm not sure when we are do back.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::hearing the CTO behind her she turns thinking he may have had too much to drink::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: I.....I'm sorry..... ::turns away in embarrassment and frustration::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::stops himself from making a 'cut the cheese' joke and then pumps his fist as if it was a major triumph:: FCO: I'm going to certainly try.  ::grabs his beer and takes a large gulp::

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  Whenever your ready.  ::doesn't want to pressure her, but doesn't want to let her get away again either::  How about a ring?  Is there shopping here?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: thanks the waiter and take a sip of the wine::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO: I thought you get belligerent?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV:  Should I beat him up then?  ::grins::

ACTION: A rather muscular Terran male walks into the Bucket 'o Blood and makes his way toward the bar. He turns his gaze on the "Fleeters" several times while he converses with the bartender.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::smiles and chuckles at Scott's continuing nervousness::  XO: No, I know you haven't.  Will you be bringing him onto the ship?  Oh...and his name.  He does have one?  ::takes a sip of the wine::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::is distracted by the sight of the man coming in::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: just let me know if you need any help.:: smiles and then starts eating her salad::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::chuckles and places an arm around both the TO and the CTO::  CTO/TO: Let's go get something to drink... on me tonight.  All histories forgotten.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: This is a station, isn't it? ::She smiles:: Luchena: How about after our next mission. We'd need to coordinate it with both of our shi... ::she stops herself::

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::turns back to the CIV:: CIV: You're right. I don't know a thing about you. 

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  What is it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO/CNS: And I make it a not to hit women either, except my last 'interest'...she asked for it. :: takes another gulp::  I mean, we would spar.  She taught me a lot about combat and the advantages of Betazoids.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::looks once again to see what the CTO is looking at wondering if it is another admirer::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::still watching the man, oblivious to his companions::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: I just hope the Pendragon crew remains together... ::She pauses:: Luchena: You know how Starfleet gets at times. They could scatter you all...

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: I'm sorry. I've been hating the Cardassians for so long without ever knowing one and it is not your fault what happened to me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CNS: A name?  Yes, the name.  ::stops and thinks for a moment::  Now that you mention it, I don't recall looking at that yet.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV/TO:  I'll catch up with you in a minute.  ::moves away towards the bar::

ACTION: The man winks at the CTO, gets up from the bar stool, and makes his way out of the pub.

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  I don't care.  I've got a home to go to.  Maybe its time.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::raises an eyebrow watching the CTO leave::  TO: That's OK my friend.  Let's go get something to drink on me until the CTO returns

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
XO:  Mmmm, yes.  We do have quite the advantage there.  ::leans toward Scott::  Hmmm, you might want to do that.  Does he have an age? ::winks at Shelaya and then looks back at Scott::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::follows the man out of the establishment::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: Well I look forward to meeting him and learning his name as well.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
::follows her back to the table a little curious:: CIV: I'm surprised by you.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
Luchena: You're good at your job, Mikal. Don't give up your career just yet. ::She pauses for a moment:: Luchena: Of course... our relationship will be rather distant...

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
FCO/CNS: Ding ding, I know that one.  Four!

Cmdr_Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  For now.  I'm a patient man.  ::smiles::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the TO:: TO: Why is that?  I'm Cardassian?  I can't be trusted?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::finishes his pint and raises his finger in the air for another::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::hurries to catch up with the man:: Man:  Hey!

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::raises a hand for Fredikia to return with the Kanar and three glasses::

ACTION: The man makes his way through a crowd of civilians, not looking back at the Chief Tactical Officer. Even with the shout, he ignores the man. He just keeps walking.

TO_Ens_Tucker says:
CIV: I've had a vision of what other Cardassians are like and you're different from that.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::keeps following enjoying the view::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes another long sip of the wine and some of the cheese:: XO:  Ahhh, not that is a wonderful age.  Cherry is five...as far as we can tell.  I still haven't been able to trace where she came from.  It's a good thing I'm Betazoid or I'd know nothing about her.

ACTION: The man enters the Turbo Lift and motions for the CTO to follow.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: This is all new to you so we understand if you are a bit confused right now. And you should slow down on them we wouldn't want you to get drunk now would we. :: smiles coyly::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::enters the turbo lift and looks the man over, thoroughly and up close::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
<Waiter>  ::nods at the commander and comes back to their table::  XO:  Aye, now, and what tis it you'd be likin' now, fine Sir?  ::holds his pencil ready::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::grins::  Man:  Hi sailor.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::laughs warmly staring into the bottom of his glass:: Waiter: I'll take another...
FCO/CNS: I might have to cut back once the new kid is on board.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  I would love that, yes  ::smiles at Shelaya::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: I would also like to meet this Cherry maybe I could baby sit some time.

ACTION: As the Turbo Lift begins to rise, the Chief Tactical Officer and man begin to know each other a bit more.
