CNS_Lt_Solaa says:

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: Watches as the others leave then turns to look at the doctor.:: CMO: I would not mind being a titi on the wall.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	:: waits for the CTO and then orders the TL to TR1::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
�	CO: Oh, hey... I guess I made it on time then... ::feels her stomach rumble because of the digesting soup::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CMO: As with everyone else, I have read about wars and can even see a benefit for some societies to have them, but I do not understand them in of themselves.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	:: nods to the TC to transport the Cardassians over::
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	ACTION: The Cardassian delegation beams over.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:

�	:: Acknowledges the Ferengi with a nod. Notes the FCO looking at her with the course already laid in.:: FCO: Warp factor six.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CMO: My mother tells me her people never had any wars. I can see why too.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
�	::smiles at the delegation:: Marot: We're happy to have you on board, Legate. 
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	::Nods:: CO: Captain, I hope that our governments can indeed find a way to co-exist. ::Steps off the transporter PADD::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	::sighs inwardly:: XO: I agree wholeheartedly. My time at tactical was horrid.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	Marot: I do also.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	Marot: If you will follow me I will take you and your aides to your quarters.

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	:: walks towards the CO::

�	CMO: I do not know how you could do it. :: frowns as she looks at the screen and stars streaking past as no more then lines:: I wonder when the time comes, and I know it will, I can give the order to take a life. :: grimaces:: Though it is easier to kill an enemy at a distance.
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	<Cardassian Aide>::Looks at Exeter::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	:: heads out of the TR and towards the guest quarters::

�	CNS: I am pleased to have been invited onboard.
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	::Continues walking behind the CO::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	::nods somberly as he looks at the XOs eyes from the side, determining her deep thought:: XO: I couldn't do it... nearly drove me out of Starfleet, as you know.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Continues monitoring the warp engines and warp field as the ship gets underway::
Host SM_Sam says:
�	ACTION: In the Corner of OReiley's eye she spots something moving.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Looks at the movement::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	::follows the group, not speaking just keeping an eye on the Cardassians::
Host SM_Sam says:
�	ACTION: All O’Reiley see is a small rodent bolt through Engineering.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: Simply nods, then turns to look at him:: CMO: Not that there has been much time, but how are you adjusting?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	:: enters a set of quarters:: Marot: These will be your quarters and your aides are assigned the one on each side of this one. There are connecting door for both.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Moves to an Engineering panel and brings up the sensors to locate the rodent::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	::stops before the quarters and orders the security guards posted at all doors::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: There hasn't been time to adjust, not with the fighting. Not if I'm honest. I think it's too quick to be 'normal' again.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
�	Marot: Please let us know if they are comfortable, or if you need anything.
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	::Nods:: CO: Very well. CNS: Thank you. ::Nods to his aides::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: Lifts a brow teasingly:: CMO: Normal? There is such a thing?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: And I a glad I am not. I feel these events shape a person for the better, or worse and need to be embraced.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	::moves to the CO:: CO: Security is in place, sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: Normal... in perspective or course.
Host SM_Sam says:
�	ACTION: OReiley spots a hamster chewing on an power conduit. The hamster begins to chew through the protective coating.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Calls up her Engineering teams and starts them on a pest control sweep of the entire ship, top to keel, deck-by-deck, compartment-by-compartment, to find and destroy every last critter on the ship::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	Marot; I will leave you to get settled in. You are guest aboard the ship so feel free to roam about the ship. However and I know that you will under stand that you wont be allowed into sensitive areas of the ship.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Draws her phaser, takes careful aim, just like she did in training practice on the range, and fires at the rodent::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CMO: Ahhh... but whose perspective?
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	::Nods:: CO: I understand. I would do the same in the reverse role.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	::raises an eyebrow at the captain:: CO: I would advise against that, sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: An interesting question. We could delve deep into philosophy on that one.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	:: smiles and nods to the group:: Marot: I will be on the bridge if you need me. :: leaves the room and heads for the TL::
Host SM_Sam says:
�	ACTION: As the phaser blast hits the hamster, the hamster chews through the protective coating. The panel begins to heat up as the power is leaked out of the conduit.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Shuts down the power to the panel::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: chuckles:: CMO: That could be a dangerous subject between species. :: Stands up to reach for a PADD being held out to her.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	CTO: Once you have you personal set report back to the bridge.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Tosses the rodent into the disposal for recycling and goes to get her toolkit and a section of replacement conduit to fix the damage::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	CO: Aye, but I do advise against the Legate and his party get free roaming rights, sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	::takes his eyes off the XO as she stands and looks again to the screen::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: Quickly she scans it before signing off on it and handing it back.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	CTO: We need to present a willingness to cooperate Cmdr. That is why your security personal are to be with them at all times.
Host SM_Sam says:
�	ACTION: As OReiley opens her tool case, she notices most of her tools have disappeared.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	FCO: What is are ETA?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Curses as only an Engineer can and goes to the storage locker to get a new tool kit::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	CO: Aye, aye, sir, ::orders security to follow the Cardassians everywhere:: CO: As long as I'm not hold accountable for personal in their off-time, sir
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	<FCO Homer>: XO: ETA 2 hours to the summit.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: Hides a yawn behind her hand:: CMO: You know how when you wait for something you are not sure you want, time seems to go on forever?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	CTO: What the security personal do on their own time is their business as long as it doesn't mean trying to get into it with the Cardassians.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: A most disconcerting feeling. It's hard enough when you are waiting for a good thing, like a good friend coming to visit. I can't say that about this situation.
Host Legate_Marot says:
�	::Stands inside the quarters, and shakes his head as the doors close::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	CO: We also have pilots, engineers, and science personal, sir, n trust me some of them might not be to happy with that lot onboard, sir
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
�	::Starts to work on the damaged system after making sure the power is shut off::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: You look tired Commander.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CMO: Yea... though who knows, maybe by the end of this, we will have made a friend.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	CTO: I don't care if they are happy or not Cmdr they are all Starfleet officers and I expect them to act like Starfleet officers whether on or off duty. Do I make myself clear.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CMO: I cannot tell a lie... usually. ::smiles:: But yes, I am.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	::heads for the bridge:: CO: Don't have to tell me, I'm just here to keep them away from fighting, sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	XO: I think we could all use the rest after this and we'd deserve it if we succeed in ending hostilities.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	CTO: Then we are understand each other. :: steps into the TL and order it to the bridge::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	CO: Starfleet orders, sir, I might not like them personally, but this peace won't last, the Klingons are on the warpath so they'll go for war.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: frowns in thought:: CMO: I cannot say when I last remember having some simple R&R time. Perhaps we can talk the counselor into convincing someone we deserve some. ::Smiles::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	CTO: That may be true however that is Starfleet's problem. Right now we are more concerned with delivering these delegates to the summit for talks.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
�	::manages a small chuckle:: XO: I am impressed with the CNS. She handled the stress of having your ship destroyed and then being in battle quite well.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	:: steps onto the bridge as the TL stops:: XO: Report.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CMO: Counselors need to be well adjusted to deal with the rest of us?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
�	CO: Aye, sir. I'm more concerned with our guests and their agenda while on this ship, sir
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	:: Straightens and turns around.:: CO: All is quiet. We should be at our destination in one hour and 45 minutes.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
�	XO: Roger Lets hope it stays that way. :: takes his seat in the center chair::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
�	CO: Agreed...
