CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::In Main Engineering at the "pool table" talking with her section chiefs and looking over engine and system performance data, planning out the maintenance schedules::

::in Sickbay, his office::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Arriving in engineering, quietly joins the group in 'session'::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::steps up and heads out::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Notices the XO arrive:: XO: Something I can do for you, Commander?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Please hail our escorts.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Shakes her head with a light smile::  CEO:  None at all.  Just doing an over all 'inspection' if you will of the ship.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::walks onto the bridge::

CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Nods:: XO: The thumbnail report from Engineering: All systems performing at or above spec, all systems online or on ready standby, the board is green,
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: hails the Klingon Bird Of Prey::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  We should be crossing the border any time soon.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::takes the spare seat on the bridge::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
XO: I've been keeping track, Commander. We were just scheduling our maintenance plan for when we arrive at the station.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Do we still do keel hauling, sir?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Not at the moment Cmdr :: Grins::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CEO: Then I shall not intrude in your set up.  I am just going to wonder around and head back.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods to the CO and CTO as he sits::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Ah, pity. Then I'll just put some people on back to back shifts, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: So Doc things quiet in Sick bay?
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Happily content, lost in his work with the super antibodies::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
XO: Just let me know if you need anything XO, We'll be right here.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CEO: Thank you, chief.  :: with a nod to her team, turns to walk around the area in general::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Nods to the XO and goes back to working with her staff, planning the schedule out as efficiently as possible::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO: Just the usual appointments, Captain. I'm hoping there will be time enough at the new outpost to finish the senior staff annual physicals.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: I do also that would mean that things are going smooth.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods to him:: CO: It feels like I haven't visited in a while up here.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks up:: CMO: Now that I got you here, doctor, I have two spots open. for your tactical refresher course
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pausing to watch the flow of antimatter along the chamber, she finishes her general wandering of engineering and heads out for the medical lab as her last stop.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: I do dislike that aspect of the job, but I am competent at it. Being the Chief of Security on the Seleya was no easy task.
Jaaruk says:
COM: Arondight: Arondight this is the IKS Vech'lar, you hailed us?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks up:: CMO: Preach towards the people of Starfleet command, doc. You have physicals to do I have to  remind you people how to use a phaser

CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Keeps one eye on the XO to make sure she leaves safely, continuing her briefing with her team chiefs::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: If you start running, it'll make it more of a challenge to hit you.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Entering medical, talks with the nurse in charge and then pops into the back lab::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Iks Vech'lar: Yes just wanted to make sure that you know who we were and to invite you to dinner when you get a chance.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CMO: The object of phaser training is to disassemble it first then firing it and disassemble and reassemble it. By the time you’re done
MO_Jeddi says:
:: ignores the swish of the opening doors.  If someone really wanted him, they would let him know.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: So let's get this done with, shall we?
Jaaruk says:
COM: Arondight: Who. You are? Captain, perhaps you are unaware, we have known who you are for a long time ::not so quietly:: The stench of Federation is not subtle
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pausing just inside of the doors and watches her old friend working.  Seeing how engaged he is and she really does not need to interrupt, she steps back out.::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
::  A glance at her chronometer shows her she is slightly over due for being back on the bridge and turns to head out of medical and up.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Iks Vech'lar: Well captain it can’t be any different than the stench of a Klingon :: chuckles::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CMO: Like I said I got two spots open. One next week and the other tomorrow.
Jaaruk says:
COM: Arondight: You are a funny boy, I like you.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I don't think we smell musky and lilacs, sir.
Jaaruk says:
COM: Arondight: When is this 'dinner' of yours? And why are we having it? Did you manage to kill something?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Quickly confirms the duty roster for the next several days and sends her team chiefs on their way with their tasks::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Iks Vech'lar: Good then you will also like the Blood wine that I have set aside for the dinner. See you soon Arondight out.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift stops she steps off onto the bridge to see the screen with a Klingon face in discourse with the captain.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Permission to not attend the dinner, seeing that I have a physical with the doctor.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: Oh no.. no you don't.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::hopes the CMO catches on quickly::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Hearing Exeter turns with a surprise toward him.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: If I have to do the tactical training, which I despise, you can go to the dinner!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: No way Cmdr you will be there. Besides I think you would like the Klingons they tend to think like you do.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Whispers> CMO: Work with me doc, Klingons make bad table guests.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Hides a smile as she catches on to the gist of the conversation.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: And you were my worst patient since I joined... I never knew a man could complain so much. I told you I'd get you back one day. ::grins from ear to ear::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: It's the table manners, sir,  I don't mind seeing people eat with  only a knife, but they play havoc on your furniture and porcelain, sir
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Leaving the two men to their 'debate', steps up to the command chair.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::chuckles:: CO/CTO: Permission to bring a holo-camera to record Exeter's face when a Klingon hiccoughs up a chunk of Gagh on his face?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sees the XO standing next to the TL:: XO: Just in time I need you to make sure all the preparation are ready for our Klingon friends for the state dinner tonight. Also you will find a case of vintage blood wine in my quarters make sure it is sent down for the dinner.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: quietly under her breath and a touch of humor::  CO:  Shall the wine be watered down a bit?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CMO: Your examination for tactical refresher course is  are at 02:30am tomorrow, bring you sports gear this will take about 4 hours. I suggest a light meal, ensign..
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: That is has to be a mandatory item doesn't it :: Grins::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::smiles at the CTO:: CTO: Hey if you can stand at 0230 after all that partying with the Klingons, I'll be there.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: It had better not be Cmdr as this is from my private stock.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: chuckles::  CO:  Aye, captain.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: And please call me Doctor, not Ensign.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps over and down to NoDuz::  OPS:  Who do you have in charge of the team making the preparations?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CMO: I'll be as sleep at 2:30,doctor, You'll report to the master at arms Ensign T'kar........... lovely chap, you would like him
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::laughs again:: CTO: Oh you do know what this means, right? War.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CMO: I'm a Lieutenant commander, ensign you call me, sir or commander and revenge is a dish best served cold, ensign.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Crewman Quill for now Cmdr.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS:  Have him meet with me at the captain’s quarters.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns::  CO:  Dinner will be...?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO/CMO: You 2 keep your war to your selves and it had better not interfere with the dinner tonight.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: Okay. This means War, SIR!
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO: I wouldn't dream of it. I love gagh.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Goes back to her office to fill out the daily performance reports on ship systems and make up a list for parts and supplies required when they dock at the station::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: 1900 hours Cmdr.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: So no poking of forks them, sir. CMO: And you should develop a sense of humor, doc
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: Sense of humor? Didn’t I laugh at you when you stood naked at your last physical? I'd say my sense of humor is fine!
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods::  CO:  We shall be ready.  :: Looks at the gentlemen with a lifted brow before continuing::  However, unless the admiral brought some, fresh gagh is not on the menu.  :: considers::  I could ask the Klingons...
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: You might want to check with the Admiral but I can just about bet that he didn't. :: grins::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CMO: Yeah, your sense of humor is fine........ eSpecially if you need to state it like that, doc
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::grins, slightly disappointed with the CTO's, in his opinion, poor response.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doc you want to give the XO a hand with the preparations for tonight?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Dress uniforms, sir?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO: Yes Sir, anything I can do to help. ::turns to face the XO::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: But of course the Admiral will be there.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e_ says:
CO: I guess the Klingons will have to suffer along with the rest of you.  :: with a smile heads for the lift.::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e_ says:
:: Waits in the lift for Oday to join her::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::enters the lift::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: please inform Captain Jaaruk as to the time of the dinner.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Anybody would want to explain we are the senior staff and not the waiters to the Klingons, sir, You have to admit, sir that the dress uniform looks like a waiters outfit, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I believe we can muddle through it. I have dealt with Klingon all my life.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Orders the lift to deck two.::  CMO: You up for a Klingon meal?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Forwards a copy of the performance report to the XO and the supply requests to NoDuz to fill::

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: What if one doesn't have the most recent dress uniform, sir, I only have the skirt version, sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: I am. Though I may see it again when I complete my tactical training in the morning!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: informs the Iks Vech'lar of the time that they are supposed to be here for the dinner::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off to see Quill waiting for them.::  CMO: I am not a fan of Klingon food and general.  And why would you see it again in the morning?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Then I suggest you replicate a new one right away.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Well, it won't have time to go down before its 0230.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I'm kind of partial to the old one, sir, I could retire for a few hours and wear that one, sir
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Stopping at the captains door, looks at him with a lifted brow::  CMO:  Ummm... I might suggest a few herbs that would help.  :: Enters her command code to enter the captain’s quarters.::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Quill:  We are here to ransack the captain’s supply of blood wine.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Oh no, that's okay. It won't be my job to clean it up, it'll be the Tactical department’s responsibility, ::smiles to show he is joking::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: you will have the most current dress uniform for the dinner so I suggest you get at getting a new one now.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Does a walking tour of Main Engineering, checking all the stations and control panels, making sure all is well::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Anyway, what can I do to help?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Watching Quill at one of the cabinets to open it and begin taking out the bottles of wine.::  CMO:  And should I be concerned with this ummm... war the two of you have declared?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Yeah, but I hate Klingons, they like me I even hit one once during a reception because he thought I was his friend, sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: No, I doubt he'll see it through. He'll hide behind his rank stopping me from pulling off any good pranks. ::walks over to the table:: It's all harmless fun anyway.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief I just want to make sure that you are informed of the state dinner tonight at 1900 hours. Dress uniform will be required.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: I have been so informed as of now Captain, this is the first I've heard of it.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO:  Sooo... in other words, I should start a pool.  :: Reaches down to take a couple of the bottles.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I think I was barred from attending any diplomatic function by Starfleet diplomatic corps, sir

CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::smiles as he reaches out to take a few bottles from her:: XO: Depends which side you root for.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I don't care if you do hate Klingons you will be there and if you are not I have some very nasty things in mind for punishment.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: And the punishment is, sir?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Captain, are we do deplete your supply or leave you a bottle of two?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: That will be a surprise and believe me they aren't very nice. :: Get an evil grin on his face::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I'll opt for the punishment, sir
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: I am partial to winning myself.  Sooo... :: looks at him with a twinkle in her eyes::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Fine let’s see how you like scrubbing the warp manifold with a toothbrush for starters then.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::smiles:: XO: I like the way you think.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: When do  I have to report to engineering, sir.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Captain, are we do deplete your supply or leave you a bottle of two?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO* : Just leave me one bottle please.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Oh, by the way I have a bottle of 2309 in my quarters, sir.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Quill: Leave him two bottles...  :: shrugs:: just in case he cannot get more soon.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::looks around the room from where he stands:: XO: Could use some decorating...
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Bribery will only make matters worst Cmdr.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: No I mean It's a favored year of the current Klingon chancellor, sir
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Her arms full::  CMO/Quill:  Let's get these down to the lounge and then look over the menu.  We need a nice balance of foods.  After all, this project is meant to be a joint one.  Though I am not  eating gagh.  I have a thing about eating bugs that look like bugs.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: That is fine I have enough as it is so you keep yours maybe we can use it to celebrate some other time.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Permission to get my dress uniform and toothbrush just in case, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Granted.
