Host CO_Senn says:
::exits the turbolift on the bridge, looking again at her immaculate dress uniform::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Adjusting his Dress whites can't get the collar on::

CSO_Rya says:
::In her quarters examining the maternity version of a dress uniform.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::tugs sharply at the collar of his dress "whites" and mumbles to himself as the Captain arrives:: CO: Good morning, Captain...

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@::On the base at an antique store.  Glances down at her chronometer.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Heads out and heads for the counselor's quarters::

FCO_B`lee says:
::stands from the center chair and fumbles with the uniform some more:: CO: All systems go ... Starbase 384 is transferring supplies over as we speak.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::glances at a console::  

TO_KTracht says:
::finalizing the arrangement on his Klingon Honor Uniform.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::fully dressed, sitting on the edge of his desk in the Annex, reading the information on Romulan movements in the surrounding sectors::

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara shakes her head as Silver circles twice on the tunic and settles down.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Chimes the counselor's door::

Host CO_Senn says:
::glances up at B'lee:: FCO: I'd say evening, lieutenant ::grins::

CSO_Rya says:
Silver: Move it beast. ::shoos him off the shirt.::

TO_KTracht says:
::looks up at his house's satchel.... and considers taking it off it's stand... but decides not to::

FCO_B`lee says:
::chuckles and shrugs unbuttoning the jacket of his dress whites:: CO: I can never remember in deep space ... no sun to rely on.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
ACTION:  OPS gets no answer as she is on the starbase.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Thunder> ::whistles from the doorway and smiles at Jim:: SFI: Looking good, Commander.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks on::

CSO_Rya says:
::Alara laughs as Scat swipes at the kitten as he rolls off the clothing.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks up at his 2nd in command and smiles:: Thunder: Thank you, Mary-Jane. So glad you approve. You're not coming up?

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: True... I guess. ::shakes her head:: Thanks for the report. ::sits down::

FCO_B`lee says:
::hands the CO the shift duty report:: CO: You hear we have a new Chief Engineer? He's probably down there already driving EO Wobbles crazy.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Thunder> ::shakes her head:: SFI: I don't see any reason to. I'm not an officer. Heck, technically I'm not even in Starfleet. You can tell me all about it when you come back.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::nervously punches at consoles trying to get everything in order before the meeting::

Host CO_Senn says:
::about to concentrate on a PADD, but this is far more interesting:: FCO: Has he reported onboard already?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::laughs softly:: Thunder: Right. I'll regale you with two hours worth of conversations that don't matter. ::gets up::

CSO_Rya says:
::Shakes the tunic around a bit to get off any stray bits of cat hair and then pulls the clothing on.::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@::Taking the carefully wrapped gift, she heads for the docking ring.::

TO_KTracht says:
::takes a last look at the mirror, and heads out the door::

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods ... not sure what to do with himself now, checks his chronometer:: CO: Oh yes sir. I guess I'll go introduce myself. Bridge Liason to Engineering and all ... make sure he knows about the meeting.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@::With a smile and a slight lilt to her step, she enters the area and begins to look around.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Thunder> ::smiles again and picks an imaginary piece of lint of Jim West's jacket:: SFI: Sure thing, Commander. Knock em dead. I'll hold down the fort for you.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: That sounds good. And you could remind him that the Captain must be expecting to make his acquaintance... ::smiles::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Gets on the TL:: TL: Deck 4

FCO_B`lee says:
::heads off towards the bridge turbolift:: CO: You got it. See you in fifteen, Bright Eyes. ::steps into a waiting lift::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::laughs again and hands her the padd from his desk:: Thunder: You do that, Mary. See you in a few hours. ::heads for the big blast doors to the annex::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::puts intenal sensors on continual scan and leaves a crewman to watch while running projections on the warp core::

CSO_Rya says:
::Straightens the tunic out and then goes to look in the mirror.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::jerks the waist of his dress slacks around as they are itching:: TL: Main Engineering...

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@::Seeing the woman with child, she smiles and heads over to them::  Carmen:  I see the two of you arrived safely.  How was the trip?

Host CO_Senn says:
::rolls her "bright eyes" at the closing turbolift doors, this guy is quite the character::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::dresses in a hurry without noticing his placed one pip in only side of the collar and the other on the other side. Gets out of his room and catches a TL with a cute doctor in it::

FCO_B`lee says:
::leaves his dress white jacket open and swinging around him as he walks, his earring jingling slightly as the turbolift arrives on the proper deck and he steps out towards Main Engineering::

CSO_Rya says:
::Sighs at how big her belly is getting and then shrugs. At least the uniform is clean and she looks presentable.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::strolls the corridors slowly, noticing the spattering of crew clad in white::

FCO_B`lee says:
::steps into Main Engineering and looks around for a face he does not recognize:: CEO: You our new Warp Core Scraper?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::glances at a chronometer on a console, swears and runs out the doors into the corridor, nearly colliding with the FCO::

TO_KTracht says:
::roams the halls::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grabs the CEO's elbow:: CEO: Whoa there big boy!

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@<Carmen> CNS:  You must be Commander Azhure.  ::Stands up with the child.

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Oh, my apologies, Lieutenant.  I just realized I am late.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::the cute doctor and he gets off on the same deck, but as he is staring at her, he bumps into West:: SFI: Oh, I'm sorry, Cmdr.

CSO_Rya says:
::Looks at the two cats.:: Scat/Silver: Play nice while I'm gone and maybe we'll go to the arboretum later.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@Carmen:  Yes, I am.  :Takes the bag from the nervous womans arms with a smile::  Ready to go aboard?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks up and smiles:: CTO: No harm, no foul, Lieutenant.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@<Carmen>CNS:  I think so.  They said they would take all of our things aboard.

Host CO_Senn says:
::reads some reports from the last mission she delayed... wondering if anyone will be able to figure out the space pocket and Romulan vessel mystery::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Yes, I am your new...Scraper... ::said through clenched teeth::

FCO_B`lee says:
::gives the CEO a cocky Bajoran smile:: CEO: I'm Lieutenant JG B'lee Chief Shuttle Pilot ... and occasionally I drive the ship too. Pleased to meet you. ::offers his hand::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@Carmen:  Good.  Then lets go.  ::Leads her up the docking ramp, nodding to the security officer as they pass.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Enters the Operations Office::

TO_KTracht says:
::comes up to a TL and enters::

CSO_Rya says:
::The cats look at Alara like they're waiting for her to do something interesting or at least more interesting than talking.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Still struggles with the Collar button::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
@Carmen:  I have a meeting to attend to with the crew, would you like to attend or go to your quarters?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::takes the FCO's hand:: FCO: Ensign Arrel Tyreen, pleased to meet you, now if you will excuse me. ::starts toward TL::

TO_KTracht says:
TL : Lounge...

Host CO_Senn says:
::scrolls down pretty fast, stopping only when something catches her interest, but finally gives up and stands up::

FCO_B`lee says:
::chases after the CEO surprised the Ensign is in such a hurry:: CEO: You know, the Captain will still be there even if you take your time, Ensign...

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Steps onto the ship out::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TL: Deck Nine, quarters.

CSO_Rya says:
::Gives up trying to understand the working of a cat's mind and heads out and for the lounge.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: What's new with our favorite spy?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::already in the TL, holding the door:: FCO: Yes, but it won't look good if I'm late my first day.

FCO_B`lee says:
::hops into the TL with the CEO as the doors snap shut behind him:: CEO: Geez ... you are in a hurry. Ready to meet the Captain, and our attend our briefing?

Host CNS_Azhure says:
<Carmen> ::A bit breathlessly:: CNS: Our quarters I think.  ::Begins to tell the counselor about how the baby has changed her life.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::starts the TL::

Host CO_Senn says:
::enters the TL, glancing around the bridge again. It's always so calm when under dock::

TO_KTracht says:
::the doors to the TL open. and he steps out.. The doors to the Lounge standing 20 feet from him. He stares at them for a moment..::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::gives Luk a quiet grin:: CTO: That's classified... ::chuckles a bit:: Not much really. Just making my way to this penguin party as slow as I can manage. You?

Host CO_Senn says:
TL: Deck 10, Lounge.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::runs to quarters and changes in record time, then heads for the lounge::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Soon the are standing at her quarters.  With a smile, she reaches out and taps the chimes::

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: Incidentally, the Captain asked me to remind you that she is quite anxious to meet the new Warp Core Scraper ... at your earliest convenience that is.

FCO_B`lee says:
::waits outside the door to the CEO's quarters and sighs ... leaves his dress jacket hanging open loosely::

CSO_Rya says:
TL: Deck 10 ::hums a bit as the lift swiftly moves to the lounge.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::arrives at the lounge, out of breath::

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: Stunned by the view. ::point to the cute doctor, who was in the TL with him, in front of them::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::fights off taking a swing at the FCO in the TL::

TO_KTracht says:
::with a final nod to himself, walks forward and enters the Lounge::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Opens the door:: CNS: Um.....Carmen?

FCO_B`lee says:
::runs into the lounge right behind the CEO panting heavily on bended knee:: CO: Captain... ::pant:: ...may I introduce... ::pant:: ...Mister Tyreen.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at the woman as she stands nervously at the door::  Carmen:  I am going to leave you here, then....  ::smiles at Taylor.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::widens his smile:: CTO: So what's this? Surveillance?

TO_KTracht says:
::enters, and sits down at one of the tables::

CSO_Rya says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads into the lounge.::

OPS_Taylor says:
Carmen: Come in.. ::Hugs Carmen::

CSO_Rya says:
::Wonders why the FCO is so out of breath.::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks between Carmen and Taylor:: Both:  If you will excuse me...

FCO_B`lee says:
::straightens up to his full height, leaving his dress white jacket open, and breaths in deeply:: CO: ...and I think we found our new Academy Marathon Champ. ::shows the CEO to his seat before taking his own::

Host CO_Senn says:
::exits the TL and turns to the obviously out of breath Bajoran, and his companion::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::snaps to attn.:: CO: Reporting, Captain.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
<Carmen>::returns the hug, tears on her cheek, Mikey between them.::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks down at the time and quick stepping, heads for the lounge.::

Host CO_Senn says:
CEO: Welcome aboard, Ensign. I trust you have already made yourself acquainted with our engineering section.

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: Kind of..., she will charged for making a senior officer drool, serious offence.

OPS_Taylor says:
Carmen: Come in.. I have a meeting I will be back make yourself at home.

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Absolutely, Sir, You command an impressive ship.

FCO_B`lee says:
::collapses into his seat and swivels towards where the Captain will sit:: CEO: Yeah, but she handles like a pig.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
<Carmen> ::nods her head, a bit dazzed, as she looks around the room.::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Steps from the TL and heads for the lounge.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::follows, aware of the time:: CTO: Having access to restraints doesn't hurt your position either, eh Lieutenant?

Host CO_Senn says:
CEO: With an impressive crew. I am sure you will find yourself at home here. Now if you excuse me... ::narrows her eyes at B'lee's comment, and decides she'd best leave them to talk about pigs in private::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Runs out the room and runs to the TL and to the lounge::

CSO_Rya says:
::Sees Captain Senn speaking to an unfamiliar officer. Alara smiles and walks towards them.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: What do you say to me tweeking your steering thruster for you?

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Walks over to the captain with a smile on her face::

FCO_B`lee says:
CEO: No offense, Ensign ... but I prefer women to adjust my thrusters. ::grins at K'Tracht::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Runs to the Lounge door and slowly walks in::

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles at Alara and Azhure, both walking her way::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::is puzzled for a moment, then recognizes the comment as a sexual suggestion::

CSO_Rya says:
CO: Captain. ::Smiles::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Captain.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::quietly::  CO:  They have arrived safely aboard.

TO_KTracht says:
::acknowledges BLee's grin.. but stays seated at his table..

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Shakes head as Taylor made it so quickly, wondering how his wife and child were doing::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::grips the larger man on the shoulder to halt him:: CTO: You might want to fix something before you talk to that doctor though. I think she'll be more impressed by a Lieutenant than by an Ensign. ::points out the misplaced second pip and moves it over for him::

CSO_Rya says:
::Heads for her seat smiling and greeting the other officers.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances at K'Tracht, thinking that the Klingon looks like he is still sufferring from the Bajoran Fire Tunic a bit::

Host CO_Senn says:
CSO; OPS, CNS: Good to see you all ::nods at them, smiling at Azhure in particular::

TO_KTracht says:
::tugs on his uniform, and stands up.. his boots Klunking on the floor::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Follows the captain in::

TO_KTracht says:
::walks up to BLee:: FCO : Greetings BLee..

FCO_B`lee says:
::reaches in the inner pocket of his open dress jacket and hunts around for his lighter which he starts playing with::

Host CO_Senn says:
::sees everyone who should be there already in place::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks to the CTO:: CTO: Chief.

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : Have you any idea what this is supposed to be about?

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: May I?  ::motions for the lighter::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Slips into her place on the opposite side of the CSO::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::looks at the re-placed pip:: SFI: Thank you. Maybe you could lend me your third pip so it'll be more impressive ::grins::

FCO_B`lee says:
::looks at Tyreen skeptically before handing over his lighter:: CEO: The Captain doesn't allow smoking on the ship...

CSO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Azhure:: CNS: It's good to see you again.

FCO_B`lee says:
::shrugs at the TO:: TO: No idea ... incidentally, Mister K'Tracht, this is Mister Tyreen our new Warp Core Scraper.

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: I'm not going to smoke. ::begins fiddling with the lighter::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::claps the man's back and leads him toward the lounge area:: CTO: Tell you what, Luk. You get a date, and I'll lend you the pip for the evening. You can tell her you misplaced it today if you want.

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : You are our new Mr. Fixit? ::laughs, and offers his hand:: welcome aboard..

CTO_Nimitz says:
::notices Taylor coming towards them:: OPS: Hi, nice uniform, new?

Host CO_Senn says:
::glances at Azhure, and nods at her as soon as she catches her glance::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::holds the lighter in front of the FCOs face and strikes it, watches a flower of blue flame burst from it:: FCO: Smoking kills.

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: Yeah got it taylored yesterday.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the captain for a moment and picks up what is needed.  With a smile, she stands.  Then tapping a small button on the table, activates the botsom whistle, calling things to official order.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::hands the FCO's lighter back and looks at the Captain::

Host CO_Senn says:
::walks up to the front of the room, giving her back to the windows to face the crew::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the Captain::

CSO_Rya says:
::Watches the Captain.::

TO_KTracht says:
::frowns:: CEO : You need not ignore me...

Host CO_Senn says:
All: We have seen many things during the past months. New faces have joined this crew... ::glances at B'lee and Tyreen::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::takes the TO's hand::

TO_KTracht says:
::looks up at the CO, wondering if she will reveal what this is for::

FCO_B`lee says:
::swivels away from the CEO with a grunt and regards the Captain with a nod::

Host CO_Senn says:
All: And we have seen others leave.

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI: I'll take your word. It's a pity you don't have the Phasma anymore, I could give her a good use ::changing the matter completely::Anyway, Rumors say Europa's James Bond is after a pretty ensign on deck 18, is that true?

Host CO_Senn says:
All: To many of us the most severe shock was to lose Commander Zaldivar. While it is certainly not the same not to have him around this vessel, we can hope for his safety and perhaps, to see him again.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks over at the CTO and SFI with a raised eyebrow::

FCO_B`lee says:
::realizes this must be to announce a new XO ... wonders if he is up for the job and starts taking odds on the other officers::

CTO_Nimitz says:
SFI&OPS: Oops. CNS: Sorry.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::laughs:: CTO: I only collect rumors, not pass them around.

TO_KTracht says:
::bows his head::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at Nimitz, then looks back at the captain, a hole burning in her pocket.::

Host CO_Senn says:
All: Time has passed and we have to continue with our lives and our duties to Starfleet and to the Federation. To that event...

FCO_B`lee says:
::puts five credits on Rya::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Remembers his XO well::

FCO_B`lee says:
::wishes he'd have more time with the CEO ... could probably make a good cleaning taking a pool on this action::

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes a deep breath:: CSO: Lieutenant Commander Rya, front and center.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::stands quietly, watching::

TO_KTracht says:
::raises his head::

CSO_Rya says:
::Looks at Captain Senn in surprise and stands up.::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Reaches into her pocket and pulls out the small black box.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins to himself and swivels towards Rya::

CSO_Rya says:
CO: Captain?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::is rather detached, does not know these people::

TO_KTracht says:
::grins slightly::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Stepping forward, she hands the box to the captain::

FCO_B`lee says:
::catches K'Tracht's grin out of the corner of his eye and remembers a great resteraunt on DS9 ... 'The Grinning Klingon'::

Host CO_Senn says:
::offers Alara a small smile:: CSO: In recognition to your continuing service and performance of duties, I hereby reassign you to the USS Europa's Executive Officer position, with all privileges and responsibilities therein. You have proved yourself more than able to fulfill them, and it is an honor to be able to call you Number One.

CSO_Rya says:
::Is too stunned to smile, yet:: CO: Thank you Captain. ::Is proud of herself that she doesn't ask 'Really?' outloud::

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes the box from Azhure, her smile widening:: CNS: Thank you. ::in a low voice::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Steps back::

CSO_Rya says:
::Wonders if she's dreaming and subtly pinches her leg. ow. guess not.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::leans over towards the CSO ... now XO:: CSO: Congrats, Exec ... guess now you'll get a chance to start following all my orders.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at the CSO::

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at the counselor and hears B'lee's comment and laughs.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles at Alara's good fortune::

Host CO_Senn says:
::opens the box and replaces Alara's hollow pip with a golden one:: CSO: And to this event, I am promoting you to full Commander. Congratulations.

TO_KTracht says:
::Walks up to the new XO, and bangs hs fist on his chest:: XO : Qa'Pla!! You will serve Starfleet and the Europa well..

CEO_Tyreen says:
::applauds for the new XO::

XO_Rya says:
::Looks in amazement at Captain Senn.:: CO: Thank you sir. I'll do my best to make you proud.

FCO_B`lee says:
::cringes as the TO shouts at the XO while the CO has a sharp pin near the XO's neck::

Host CO_Senn says:
::states simply:: CSO: I know.

TO_KTracht says:
::looksa te everyone’s eyes turning to him:: TO : Errr... ooops?

TO_KTracht says:
::steps back, as silently as possible..::

Host CO_Senn says:
::motions towards the bar:: All: Drinks will be served now. I think we all would like to toast our new First Officer. ::joins in the applause::

XO_Rya says:
TO: Thank you Mr. K'Tracht

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes a drink as a waiter moves around the room::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::picks up a Klingon bloodwine from the tray::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Takes a drink, and remembers his family::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::slips through the small crowd and takes Alara's hand:: CSO: Congratulations... Commander. ::smiles::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
<Carmen> ::Sitting quietly on the couch, looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar about her new home.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::gulps down the bloodwine in one go::

TO_KTracht says:
::looks at the drinks being passed all around, but refuses every one::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Congratulations, Cmdr. ::offers her his hand and a wide smile::

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes a tall-stemmed glass from the tray, stepping down and walking towards Azhure::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins as he takes a drink:: TO: As long as I've known you, your timing has never been great.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks up at the captain::  CO:  Think this command crew can handle it?  ::Smiles::

FCO_B`lee says:
::sees the CEO drinking bloodwine and nudges the TO pointing it out:: TO: Well lookie there ... looks like you have a new drinking buddy.

XO_Rya says:
::Has one hand being shaked by Luk and the other by Jim:: CTO/SFI: Thank you very much.

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : We have not met that long ago. I would wish you would not think less of me...

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: They'd better ::smiles back, and then motions towards Taylor::: Does he know yet...?

TO_KTracht says:
FCO : Indeed.... SO long as he doesn't have ane strange new drinks as well...

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Congratulations. ::Raises his glass:: 

CEO_Tyreen says:
::grins at FCO and TO:: FCO/TO: It is an aquired taste, which I have aquired.

::leans in and whispers in her ear:: XO: You'll do fine.. ::squeezes her hand encouragingly and slips back so others can give their congrats::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::walks to the new XO and shakes her hand::  XO: Congratulations.

XO_Rya says:
OPS: Thank you.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Yes.  I left them at his quarters just as he was heading out.  I am sure it presented him a bit of a delmna, but it also gives Carmen a moment to breath.

FCO_B`lee says:
::chuckles from behind his glass:: CEO: You should try a Bajoran Fire Tonic some time... ::gives K'Tracht a look::

XO_Rya says:
CEO: Thank you. Are you Mr. Tyreen? Welcome aboard.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at Nimitz::  CTO:  How are things going?

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Lieutenant ::smiles at him::

CEO_Tyreen says:
XO: Yes, thank you, ma'am.  I trust that your leadership will be one I will be pleased to follow, and that your child will posses the same traits.

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles his most winning smile at the new XO:: XO: So ... Exec ... how bout you let an old fighter pilot take you out for a congratulatory dinner?

TO_KTracht says:
::looks slightly down at the XO:: XO : I'm sorry for my.. Timing.. Ma'am..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::heads over to the drink table and finds a glass of wine::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: If you'll excuse me please, I have a personal matter to attend, sir.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::tries something funny he saw in a TV show from the 20th Century, "Friends":: CNS: I'm fine...How are YOU doing?

::Looks at B'lee in surprise and laughs.:: FCO: If you don't mind me bringing the baby along.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CTO:  I am fine thank you.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Of course, lieutenant. ::wonders if to say something else, but decides not::

Host CO_Senn says:
::just smiles at Taylor encouragingly::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::sips the light bourdeux and watches the crew mesh::

TO_KTracht says:
::frowns:: FCO : It is innapropriate for a woman bearing child to go drinking.. And you know how your dinners end up..

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles back at her and klinks his glass against hers:: XO: I promise not to balance any glasses on that stomach of yours.

FCO_B`lee says:
::elbows the TO:: TO: I said dinner ... not drinking. And that is only how my dinner ends up with *you*::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: May I return to my duties, Captain.  No offense, but with your current Engineering staff, I don't see how you managed to keep this thing flying.

XO_Rya says:
::Grins:: FCO: Give it another month and I think we can balance the Europa on my belly.

TO_KTracht says:
::wonders how he should take the lack of response from the XO on his appology::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at the CEO::  CEO:  You have a good staff, if a bit limited.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye. ::Walks out, unbuttoning the top button of the Dress white:: Self: Better.

Host CO_Senn says:
::chuckles:: CEO: Indeed! Just make sure I get a full report, and soon.

FCO_B`lee says:
::laughs:: XO: That extra pip looks good on you ... the tyke will probably come out a full Lieutenant.

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::stops once more to congratulate the XO, then heads out the door::

XO_Rya says:
TO: I'm sorry Mr. K'Tracht. I've been a bit umm, distracted by all of this.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CEO:  Not to mention, after your physical, I will see you.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods at the XO::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at the counselor's sage words::

XO_Rya says:
TO: It's no problem and thank you for the congratulations.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: I'll give you a tip, just keep the weapons working, it all be fine.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::stops:: CNS: Yes, I meant to ask you, who performs the physicals on this ship?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks into his quarters peeking in::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::hands the glass off to one of the passing attendants and moves back into the crowd::

TO_KTracht says:
::nods again, and throws in a smile::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CEO:  Normally the doctor.  I believe he has taken some time off today to settle the injured in at the SB.

CEO_Tyreen says:
CTO: I will do that, sir.

OPS_Taylor says:
Carmen: Carmen?

XO_Rya says:
::The FCO's comment registers and Alara laughs and winks:: FCO: Perhaps. His father's a commander as well.

FCO_B`lee says:
::slips his arm into the XO's:: XO: So how about I escort you back to your quarters and we can slip into something more comfortable for that dinner we discussed...

XO_Rya says:
::Laughs wholeheartedly now.:: FCO: I thought we'd eat dinner in the mess hall.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::gives the FCO a puzzled look and heads out the door::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::smiles:: CEO: I do know how to keep a klingon happy.

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes his head at teh FCO, and grins:: CEO : So tell me.. Where did you aquire your tste of bloodwine?

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes a sip of her drink and glances around to the crew that is left in the Lounge still::

XO_Rya says:
FCO: I think you'll like my fiance.

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: Well, I thought you'd want the chance to get out of those uncomfortable dress whites...

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Do you have any plans?

XO_Rya says:
::Grins:: FCO: That's very thoughtful of you.

TO_KTracht says:
::Acompanies the CEO, eager to get away from the crowd::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Besides changing back to my normal uniform? ::brushes an imaginary speck of dust from her shoulder with her free hand::

FCO_B`lee says:
::looks at her questioningly:: XO: Commander Vekh? The only Orion in Starfleet? I've heard of him ... unusual for an Orion to go into Counseling.

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Well, my first roomate at the Academy was half Klingon.  We had some interesting parties...

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CO: Yes.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::slips up beside the two women and smiles at Azhure:: CNS/CO: I certainly hope she doesn't have any plans.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Goes and hugs Carmen and picks up his little Mikey::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::looks around to find there only a few of them still there, walks back to re-join CO and CNS::

FCO_B`lee says:
::leads the XO out of the conference room and towards the nearest turbolift:: XO: Orion's, after all, have a reputation for not being the listening type.

TO_KTracht says:
::chuckles:: CEO : Indeed..  Tell me.. Did this roommate of yours give you taste for other things of Quo'Nos?

XO_Rya says:
::Raises an eyebrow. The FCO is more astute than he first appears.:: FCO: Why yes, that him.  Don't worry, he didn't start out as a counselor.

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns to look at the intelligence officer:: SFI: No kidding... ::looks at him wonderingly::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Turns to look at Jim::  SFI:  Hello James.  Did you have something in mind?

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: A few.  I draw the line at that worm dish, but I can stomach just about anything else from your dark planet.

XO_Rya says:
::Realizes B'lee has steered her practically out the door and glances back to make eye contact with Jim. She wants to talk to him later.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::nods to both of them:: CO/CNS: Actually I did. I figured with some down time, the captain wouldn't mind joining me in saving the honor of the queen once more.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looking from one to the other holds up her hand::  CO/SFI:  never mind...

TO_KTracht says:
::grins, and laughs:: CEO : I was not talking of food.. You see.. I have been lacking a proper Bath'let companion for a while now....

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Steps away::  CO/SFI:  Enjoy yourselves.

Host CO_Senn says:
::chuckles, much to her own embarrassment::

TO_KTracht says:
CEO : And i'm afraid i'm getting rusty from the lack of practise...

CTO_Nimitz says:
::intrigued: SFI: the honor of the queen... ::looks at CO and CNS::

XO_Rya says:
::Sighs, oh well. She'll catch up with him later.:: FCO: No, Orions aren't the listening type at all, but Drayan's not typical.

FCO_B`lee says:
::thinks for a minute as they head for the turbolift:: XO: That reminds me ... you'll be needing to move your stuff to new quarters ... the Executive Officer's quarters. I'll talk to K'Tracht about giving you a hand. He's probably got the strongest back around.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles at Luk and then looks at the captain again:: CO: What do you say, Captain. For the honor of the queen?

Host CO_Senn says:
::sips her drink:: CTO: The honor of the queen is very important business. ::not too convinced anyone will believe her::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the Nimitz::  CTO:  I believe you still owe me a dinner.  ::Smiles at the other two::

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: Ahhh...then you have come to the right place.  I find that male aggression and female weakness make poor combatants, I studied the Bat'leth, and took out every Klingon partner at the Academy.

XO_Rya says:
::Tilts her head to the side.:: FCO: You're quite thoughtful. Thank you.

Host CO_Senn says:
SFI: Whatever'sher name. ::chuckles softly::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CO: Right. So... ::looks right into her eyes::

TO_KTracht says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO :Truly? Then i guess your Academy klingons must not be very.... COmbative...

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles:: XO: Don't mention it... ::steps into the turbolift::

TO_KTracht says:
::grins::

Host CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes the CTO's arm::  CTO:  And I know just the place...

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: On the contrary, some were quite fierce, but inexact.

XO_Rya says:
FCO: Why don't we also stop by your quarters. You probably want to change to. ::Realizes that that could be taken the wrong way.:: On the other hand, why don't I just meet you in the mess hall in five minutes.

Host CO_Senn says:
::places her glass on a passing tray:: SFI: Of course. The queen's business cannot wait. ::glances in the direction of Azhure and Nimitz, smiling::

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles and laughs:: XO: You got it ... Exec.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles:: CO: Fantastic. I'll be right with you. I believe your new first officer wants a word with me. CO/CNS/CTO: Excuse me.

XO_Rya says:
::Blushes slightly. It's going to take some time to get used to that.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::slips away politely and heads through the throng toward Alara::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::surprised:: CNS: Yes, I do. CO&SFI: Take care of that queen, I have one to take care. ::walking out:: CNS: You know a place? Great

TO_KTracht says:
::taps the CEO's back.. hard:: CEO : You and i will have much to talk about, i can see...

Host CNS_Azhure says:
CTO:  I think you will enjoy it....

CEO_Tyreen says:
TO: I am sure.

Host CNS_Azhure says:
