Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: THE TRANSPORT OF THE ANDORIAN AMBASADOR HAS BEEN DELAYED DUE TO A GLITCH WITH THE TRANSPORTER SYSTEM
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: THE AMBASADOR HAS ALREADY INQUIRED ABOUT THE DELAY AND IS IMPATIENTLY WAITING TO BE BEAMED ABOARD
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: HIS ATTACHE HAS ALREADY CONTACTED THE CHARLOTTETOWN SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES
CO_Shras says:
:: Impatiently waiting in the transporter room while the transporter is being fixed ::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: In the transporter room waiting for the transporter to be fixed so that the Ambassador can come aboard ::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: I'm sure they're alright, Captain.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Looks over at the CMO:: CMO: I hope he gets here in once piece. :: shakes her head nervously ::
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: I really don't want to deal with a half-materialized body.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::tightens the wiring under the transporter panel, then stands and activates the controls, waiting for the appropriate response::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Chief?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CMO: Rather messy I expect.
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: You could say that...
CEO_Turnbull says:
CO: It looks like some of the wiring has been loosened and isolinear chips were out of place. I'm hoping that fixed it.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: tugs on her uniform as they wait ::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Do we need to do a test transport or it is safe enough to transport someone now?
CEO_Turnbull says:
CO: It should be fine, Captain.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at the anxious Ambassadorial aides  and smiles ::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Alright then, signal the Ambassador staff and transport when ready
CEO_Turnbull says:
::double checks the board:: CO: Yes, all is ready, there should be no more glitches.
CEO_Turnbull says:
COM: Surface: This is the Charlottetown, we are ready to transport when ready.
CMO_Kimura says:
::breathes a sigh of relief::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks towards the transporter pad ::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
#Com: Charlottetown: CEO: Thank you Engineer Turnbull..... We are ready (and have been for an hour now) ::with just a hint of arrogant sarcasm::
CMO_Kimura says:
::crosses her fingers behind her back::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::resists rolling her eyes as she activates the transporter:: COM: AMB: Transporting now.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
::whispers to the Captain:: CO: The Ambassador seems a little upset sir.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: And more than just a little snooty.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Winks at the doctor ::
Host Amb_Tolosh ::Transports the Ambassador and others:: (Transporter.wav)
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: THE AMBASSADOR AND HIS PARTY APPEAR ON THE TRANSPORTER PAD, WHOLE AND COMPLETE, INCLUDING CLOTHES AND LUGGAGE
CO_Shras says:
:: Stand in front of the ambassador::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: pastes a broad smile on her face ::
CO_Shras says:
AMB: Ambassador Tolosh, I'm Captain Shras, let me welcome you aboard the Charlottetown...
CMO_Kimura says:
::tries to look as friendly as possible::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::whispers something to the transporter chief before resuming her previous position::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CO: Captain, thank you for transporting my entourage to Earth
CO_Shras says:
AMB: Here are the ship’s CEO, Commander Turnbull...
CEO_Turnbull says:
::nods:: Amb. Welcome aboard, it's an honor.
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CEO: And a fine engineer you are to get us here.... :: pats himself soundly:: in one piece........ With all the pieces intact and in the right places
CEO_Turnbull says:
Amb: It's the least we could do, Ambassador.
CO_Shras says:
AMB: and our CMO, Lieutenant Kimura
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CMO: Doctor.... are you familiar with Andorian physiology?
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: Absolutely.
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CMO: After all the 'pleasantries' here, I would like to see you about something........
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: Certainly, I'm free whenever you want.
CO_Shras says:
AMB: And our FCO, Commander Lane...
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CMO: Thank you..... ::turns to the ship's pilot::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Steps forward still smiling :: Amb: Welcome Mr. Ambassador.
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
FCO: Pleased to make your acquaintance Pilot..... I trust you will safely get us to Earth in a timely fashion???
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
AMB: I shall endeavor to get you all there in quick fashion in with everything intact.
CO_Shras says:
AMB: If all your staff and luggage are here we will get on the way to Earth. If you want later we can arrange a tour of the ship or anything else you'd like. For now let me show you to your quarters
CMO_Kimura says:
::kind of wishes that she could have one of the VIP rooms, they are so nice:: 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Steps back so the Ambassador can pass ::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CO: I've heard these ships of yours have all the amenities an ambassador could want... and it's nice to see a 'friendly' face out here
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
::follows the Captain::
CMO_Kimura says:
::raises an eyebrow; were they not friendly enough??::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: THERE IS SOMETHING NOT QUITE RIGHT ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION; HOWEVER, THE SHIP'S CREW APPARENTLY HAS NOT SENSED IT YET..... THINGS HAVE GONE 'TOO SMOOTHLY'
CEO_Turnbull says:
::watches the Ambassador and his staff file out, then returns to the transporter controls to close up the panel where she did the repairs::
CO_Shras says:
:: walk the ambassador and his staff to the VIP quarters ::
CMO_Kimura says:
::follows the Captain and the diplomats::
CO_Shras says:
AMB: The ship has an entire deck devoted to VIP and their staff
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: And let me say, the rooms are quite nice. I mean, we get nice quarters, but the VIP rooms are just... well, I hope they're to your taste. ::smiles::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CO: I don't believe we will need a 'whole deck' for myself and my staff.......  this is a 'big' ship for just us......
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: brings up the rear as they walk ::
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: Well, you know we're here to make you feel comfortable. 
CEO_Turnbull says:
::secures the panel and begins a diagnostic to ensure that there would be no other glitches::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
AMB: Excuse me sir, but were there no Andorian transports available to take you and your party?
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
FCO: ::speaks softly:: It seems this particular ambassador is somewhat on the wrong side of certain Andorian politicians, so currently, there were none available on short notice.....
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: Politics are wonderful, aren't they? ::grins sarcastically::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods and smiles slightly :: AMB: Understood Ambassador.
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: UNBEKNOWNST TO THE CREW, A SHADOW BRIEFLY APPEARS ON LONG-RANGE SCANNERS.... IF ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO
CO_Shras says:
AMB: Well we are prepared for large groups or multiple groups but of course you can occupy the number of suites that you need
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Whispers to Kimura :: CMO: I think our guest is up to something.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: You know, Captain, I don't think I've taken a tour of the ship yet... I mean, apart from the way to my quarters and Sickbay, I'm not sure where everything is. 
CEO_Turnbull says:
::is satisfied with the results and heads out ready to return to engineering::
CMO_Kimura says:
::whispers back:: FCO: Politicians are always sneaky...
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
::looks to the Doctor and Pilot:: CMO/FCO: Ladies, politics is my life...  as well as diplomacy...  .... and discretion
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Grins as she whispers :: CMO: So they say.
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: Of course. Personally, I wish I had a diplomatic bone in my body...
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Catches up to the Captain :: CO: Sir, if I'm not needed, I would like to return to the bridge.
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: BOTH THE PILOT AND DOCTOR REALIZE THEIR WHISPERS ARE HEARD AND KNOW WHAT THE AMBASSADOR'S MEANING WAS.....
CO_Shras says:
AMB: I'm sorry ambassador if my officers have offended you, I assure you it won't happen again  :: look angrily at the CMO/FCO ::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CO: Captain, no offense taken Sir, as long as I have been in this, one gets used to the comments made..... and apparently, many non-Andorians really don't understand our ability to 'hear' what others don't
CMO_Kimura says:
::gives the CO an innocent look and gesture::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
CMO: But Doctor's are known for their 'bedside manners,' aren't they?
CO_Shras says:
:: Finally arrives in front of the ambassador’s quarters ::
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: Well, that's different from diplomacy I think. If you're my patient, I'm not reasoning with you to take your medicine or treatment. 
CO_Shras says:
AMB: Here we are, you quarters are here, maybe you'll want some time to make yourself at home?
CEO_Turnbull says:
::heads for her office once inside engineering and pulls up the information from the bridge::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Stops and nods politely to the Ambassador :: AMB: A pleasure to have met you sir. I shall get you to Earth with all haste.
CMO_Kimura says:
::mouths to the FCO as quietly as she can:: FCO: Snooty!
CO_Shras says:
AMB: Very useful in negotiations, but you already know about that :: smiles ::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ALL: Captain, I thank you for your hospitality today, and your caution in making sure we got here at all
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees Kimura's lips move and almost laughs ::
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ALL: I and my staff will take our rest and join you later for a meal perhaps... and maybe a ship's tour?
CO_Shras says:
AMB: If you need anything I'll be on the bridge, I'll keep you posted on our ETA but the travel should not be very long
CMO_Kimura says:
Amb: We have an excellent cook, not just replicators.
CO_Shras says:
AMB: We are at your disposal, good night ambassador
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ALL: Good night then :: retreats into quickly into assigned quarters - the door quietly shutting behind him::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: waits for a moment before starting down the corridor ::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Captain... ::looks behind her shoulder at the closed door:: What do you think of them?
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: AND THAT, AS THEY SAY, IS THAT.... SAFELY ABOARD, WITH ONLY A MINOR GLITCH, AND TUCKED IN NICELY..... OR SO IT SEEMS
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: notices the security teams taking up position in the corridor :: Self: Oh nice.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::shakes her head and shuts down her console before entering main engineering::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Because I have a funny feeling about them... but maybe I just mistrust politicians a lot of the time...
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: waits at the turbolift for the others ::
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Nothing in particular, I must admit I don't know this ambassador; I've been out of touch of Andorian politics for a long time now
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: What kind of politics are on Andoria, though? 
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Oh, well... when do we get leave to explore the planet?
CO_Shras says:
CMO: For human standards? Though, complicated and..... dangerous
CEO_Turnbull says:
::begins going over the reports from the engineers::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Andorians are an emotionally charged people, I hear...
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Maybe we can return here after visiting Earth but if not it might be a very long time before I see this place again
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO/CMO: Going up?
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: I've actually never set foot on Andoria, and I'm anxious to.
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: Oh, sure. ::smiles at the FCO::
CEO_Turnbull says:
All: Excellent. Be sure to run a fresh series of diagnostics on all systems. With the Ambassador and his staff on board, I want us to be extra thorough.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Deck one Captain?
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Yes please
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Waits for the door to close :: Computer: Deck one.
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
*CEO*: Engineer Turnbull, would you have a minute to adjust our environmental controls, for myself and my staff..... It seems a bit warm in our quarters....
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Do you think we should monitor their communications or something, though, Captain? 
CO_Shras says:
CMO: If you do bring your polar suit and very good socks
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: I love snow!
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Snow, ice, and very cold weather; that is a planet.....
CEO_Turnbull says:
*AMB*: Yes, Ambassador, I will be there shortly.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: And I wonder what the Ambassador wanted me to take a look at?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: listens to the talkative doctor and smiles ::
CEO_Turnbull says:
ALL: Thurman has engineering; I'll be in the VIP quarters. ::heads out and makes her way to the VIP quarters::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::rings the chime on the Ambassador's quarters::
CMO_Kimura says:
::has the strangest craving for chocolate fudge, suddenly::
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Probably a complete physical before he gets to eat human food.....
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Well, food is food... Andorian or Terran...
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Stands back as the doors open :: CO/CMO: Deck one.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: It's not like you eat rocks or something...
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: ...Do you?
Host Amb_Tolosh says:
ACTION: A SHADOWY BLIP SHOWS UP ON LONG-RANGE SCANNERS AGAIN, APPARENTLY FOR JUST A SECOND OR TWO
CMO_Kimura says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Andorians don't eat rocks, right?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Steps past the two onto the bridge and heads for the helm to relieve Ensign Flight ::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CMO: I wouldn't know doctor.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Maybe I'll have to look up some Andorian dishes... 
CO_Shras says:
CMO: No we don't, but food from another culture, planet or race is quite...... strange when you eat it for the first time
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes her seat and begins to review the flight log for the past hour or so ::
CMO_Kimura says:
::laughs::
