All: As you can see, the Nebula is in Federation space, however, our orders are to avoid Cardassian patrols

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
~~ Must remember that Riggs is Bajoran ~~

Host CO_John_Sea says:
~~~ Aye ~~~

CTO_Chalen says:
CO: My apologies sir.  But the Cardassian's weren't so "peaceful" a year ago before they lost the war.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
~~ He must master his anger and be tolerant ~~

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTAC; I trust you will not allow your personal political beliefs to jeopardize our mission?

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Of course not, sir!

Host CO_John_Sea says:
~~~I agree 100%~~~

CTO_Chalen says:
CO: I'm well aware of what the Cardees can do sir.  There's no one better suited to protect the interests of the mission.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTAC: I know there was much injustice, but we are officers of the Federation and must act it the Federations best interests.  The Federation can not afford another war

CTO_Chalen says:
CO: Yes sir.

Dr_Lynn_Skyler says:
::wonders what exactly she walked into, and stays quiet::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTAC: Please don’t call them Cardies, it is slang and can be hostile.  I trust you to be professional and manage your anger

::thinks Riggs could stand a counseling session when this mission is over::

CTO_Chalen says:
CO: yes sir.  Sorry sir.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
