CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes the necklace::  XO:  This is lovely.  What kind of stones are they?

::notices the chime:: Self: Who could be? Door: Come in

Host CO_Senn says:
.::walks around the lounge, taking into account each detail of the plants and flowers that have been brought from... who knows where::

Linara_Rya says:
XO: ::looks at her somewhat embarrassed a moment:: Um.... I'm doing a scientific study... yeah that's it! A scientific study to determine what strange hold infant children have over all women... see. ::smiles widely::

XO_Rya says:
::Tilts her head to the side and releases her hair once the clasp is clasped:: CNS: Is there?

Tehya_Ashworth says:
::she inquires about the location of the wedding and she heads there::

XO_Rya says:
::Laughs at Linara.:: Linara: If you say so.

Linara_Rya says:
::laughs::

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  They have a tradition for each stone, but my mind is not with me today.  ::Turns to the dress::  You ready?

FCO_B`lee says:

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Azhure:: CNS: Thank you for doing this.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Assists Alara with the dress, then buttons up the simple, long, form-fitting dress::

Linara_Rya says:
::looks to make sure everyone is dressed::

CSO_Vekh says:
::offers a hand to Silek:: Silek: I'm honored you've accepted the invitation, Captain

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::frowns at his sister:: Linara: Isn't she ready yet? It's like prom night all over again..

FCO_B`lee says:
::notices Admiral Cromwell and gives a chuckle ... never thought he'd be naked with an Admiral::

Captain_Silek says:
CSO: I am honored to be here Commander. I trust you are well ?

SEC_KTracht says:
::turns to look sideways at the OPS officer, as they board the TL:: OPS : No.. It is hard to find... An adequate mate.. In Starfleet...

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  It is my honor.  Now ::Bows to the chair:: If you will sit, we can finish the hair of the lovely bride.

XO_Rya says:
::Sticks her tongue out at Colin.::

Linara_Rya says:
::opens door:: Colin: Well... I think this is a little more important...

XO_Rya says:
::Nods and sits.::

SEC_KTracht says:
OPS : But I have met a few possibles..

SEC_KTracht says:
TL : Docking ring..

CSO_Vekh says:
Silek: Very well, indeed, my ... friend ::shakes hands with Silek::

Captain_Silek says:
:: returns the gesture and nods ::

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::smiles and slips inside:: XO/Linara: Yeah, this time she gets to go home with the boy. ::winks naughtily at them::

Host CO_Senn says:
::notices the Admiral enter and walks his way... nodding as she passes by B'lee::

Linara_Rya says:
::laughs::

XO_Rya says:
::Shakes her head and throws a pacifier at her brother::

FCO_B`lee says:
::gives the Captain a rather ceremonious and exaggerated bow:: CO: Nice to see you ... Captain.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Picks up the brush and begins to brush out her hair.  As she does so, she inserts red flowers artistically throughout.::

CSO_Vekh says:
Silek: so, how are things on the Ganymede. I've heard a couple of stories about a 'challenge' to a Klingon commander

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Indeed, Lieutenant. What a nice gesture from you... ::wonders if he knows the bride and groom are wearing clothes:: Now if you excuse me ::smiles::

OPS_Taylor says:
SEC: How true... How true..

Host Adm_Cromwell says:
::notices Captain Senn and realizes that he's not late...let's out a breath::

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::slips in and gives Alara a small kiss on the cheek, careful not to smudge her makeup:: XO: You ready kiddo?

CEO_Tyreen says:
::looks up and sees the captain::  CO: Excuse me, ma'am.  I have taken the liberty to set up a bit of a surprise for the happy couple, but I wanted your go ahead.  ::hands her the PADD::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Stands back::  XO:  Hmmm.... lovely.   Linara, what do you think?

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods at her as she goes off, wonders why so many people are wearing clothes here::

SEC_KTracht says:
::remembers something he heard about Taylor:: OPS : How is your.. Offspring?

Captain_Silek says:
:: raises eyebrow :: CSO: Most of the "stories" are probably exagerations ... but there was some level of truth involved. I did what was necessary.

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes the PADD from the CEO and smiles:: CEO: Go for it, Ensign. Please excuse me... ::glances to the admiral::

Linara_Rya says:
CNS/XO/Colin: Lovely.

CSO_Vekh says:
Silek: I trust you did. Now, shall we go the VIP Lounge?

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.  ::returns to work making final preps::

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at her siblings, daughter and Azhure.:: All of them: Thank you.  ::Takes a last look in the mirror.:: All: I think I'm ready. Any words of advice?

Host Adm_Cromwell says:
::calls his ship to let them know the engines were not overtaxed in vain::

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::smiles at Azhure::

Host CO_Senn says:
::finally reaches the admiral:: Cromwell: Admiral, I'm pleased you could come.

SEC_KTracht says:
::the TL stops and opens his doors, and he gets out, headed for the docking ring::

Captain_Silek says:
:: nods :: CSO: I was about to suggest the same. :: moves to the door ::

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  Keep him?  ::Smiles and returns Colin’s smile::

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
XO: Just got out there and live it up. It's your day.

Linara_Rya says:
XO: Oh sis... I may have luck with the boys .... but never at keeping them... so my advice isn't worth much. Seems to me like you have done alright by yourself. ::smiles::

OPS_Taylor says:
SEC: Very good, calm these days, he's starting to walk.  I am having the Starbase Doctors give him a physical today.

CNS_Azhure says:
*CO*:  Captain, I believe we have a bride about ready, if you have a groom handy.

FCO_B`lee says:
::puts his hands on his hips looking for anyone he knows ... starting to get used to these Betazoid rituals::

Host Adm_Cromwell says:
Senn: I'm glad to be here, Captain.  I see you're popular with your crew.

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at all of them.:: All: All right then.

SEC_KTracht says:
::nods respectfully as they exit the docking sleeve, and enter the Starbase..:: OPS : You know the way?

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::rolls his eyes at Linara and takes his wife's hand:: All: We'll go see if everything's ready.

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::heads for the door, Jenna in hand:: Linara: Don't let her take too long.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Grins:: SEC: This way. ::Leads the way::

CSO_Vekh says:
::reaches the door - which opens - and waits for Silek to exit first:: Silek: But wait till you taste the Aldebaran whiskey I've got from some Ferengi for the occasion ::winks::

Host CO_Senn says:
::raises an eyebrow and smiles:: Cromwell: They are the finest... at least for me, sir.

SEC_KTracht says:
::follows::

XO_Rya says:
::Calls after Colin:: Colin: Could you two bring Julia to mom and dad?

Host CO_Senn says:
Cromwell: If I may show you to your seat, Admiral Edwards shouldn't be long.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::looks up and see Lt. B'lee::  FCO: How are you. flyboy?

Host CO_Senn says:
::taps her badge:: *CNS* I will let you know as soon as he's here.

Linara_Rya says:
::ready to hand Julia off to Colin::

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods at Tyreen and looks him up and down:: CEO: Good afternoon, Chief!

CNS_Azhure says:
::Chuckles:: *CO*  Then we will wait a bit as it is not far to walk.

Host Adm_Cromwell says:
Senn: From what I've seen, your crew certainly is in the upper echelons of the fleet.  ::motions:: Lead the way...

Captain_Silek says:
:: heads towards the VIP lounge and raises eyebrow as he wonders how it compares to Klingon Blood Wine:: CSO: I shall endever to at least sample it Commander.

Host CO_Senn says:
*CNS* Perfect.

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::smiles:: XO: I'd be delighted. Just to get some time with her. ::eyes Linara's meat hooks:: Niece-hogger. ::laughs and walks off with the little girl and his wife::

Tehya_Ashworth says:
::enters the lounge and finds a seat on the groom's side::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::his chronometer beeps, to alert him of the time.. he gets up and heads towards the VIP Conference Room::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Have you ever been to one of these before?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at Alara::  XO:  As soon as the captain informs of us of the arrival of your groom, we are set.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the door:: SEC: VIP Room ::Enters the Room.::

FCO_B`lee says:
CEO: Betazoid, weddings? Oh sure ... I spent a month on Betazoid after I graduated from the Academy. ::whispers to Tyreen:: CEO: Who is getting married anyway?

SEC_KTracht says:
::shrugs, and enters::

CSO_Vekh says:
::reaches the TL:: Silek: Trust me, you'll do much more than 'sample' by the end of the night ::turns:: TL: VIP Lounge

XO_Rya says:
::Looks at Azhure and bites her lower lip.:: CNS: I hope she calls soon. The longer we wait the more nervous I suddenly feel.

Host CO_Senn says:
::starts walking besides the admiral:: Cromwell: I am sure they know you said that, sir. It's a wonderful compliment. ::motions for a chair in one of the front rows::

CNS_Azhure says:
XO/Linara:  She will as soon as he is there.  If you follow tradition, you enter last.  By the way I have always been curious.  Why is the male called a groom?

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
<Jenna> ::leans into Colin as they walk, holding their niece::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Good question.  To tell the truth, I forget things very easily.  We'll all know in just a bit.... ::looks back at the PADD::

SEC_KTracht says:
::spots B'Lee, and heads his way::

Captain_Silek says:
:: waits for the TL to arrive to destination :: CSO: I shall trust your word Commander.

Host Adm_Cromwell says:
::grimaces slightly at having to be in the front, but sits anyway::

XO_Rya says:
::Looks at Azhure for a minute with a blank expression and then laughs.:: CNS: I have not got the faintest idea.

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances over at K'Tracht and gives a wave:: SEC/CEO: I see I am the only one here with the proper respect for Betazoid customs... ::grins wickedly::

CSO_Vekh says:
Silek: and here we are. ::motions for the Captain to exit first as the TL stops at the appropriate Deck::

SEC_KTracht says:
::gawks at the FCO's figure:: FCO : You have finally gone mad?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles and adjusts the necklace.::

Captain_Silek says:
:: spots easily the VIP lounge and moves towards it without hesitation ::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins at K'Tracht:: SEC: I am just showing respect for the Bride and Groom's beliefs ... like any good officer.

Host CO_Senn says:
Cromwell: If you will excuse me, I'll greet the groom. We should be starting shortly.

SEC_KTracht says:
::stops at a respectable distance from the FCO::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sees Tyreen and B'lee:: Self: Oh great... CO: Sorry We're late, Captain. I had some adjustments made to the Ordinances.

CSO_Vekh says:
::walks in the Lounge sided by Silek, not without spotting the naked FCO immediately::

Host Adm_Cromwell says:
Senn: Very well.  Dismissed.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::thinks nothing of the FCO's lack of clothing, assumes he has a good reason::

XO_Rya says:
::Tries to make small talk with Azhure and Linara, but is too focused on what's to come and ends up staying silent.::

SEC_KTracht says:
::shakes his head::

Host CO_Senn says:
Cromwell: Thank you ::not that you had many other choices...::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::arrives at the conference room, taking his seat, noticing the nude B'lee::
To no one in particular: I see the rumor I've read about Bajorans is true..

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::comes into the VIP lounge from one of the side doors and sees a commotion on one end:: Jenna: I wonder what that's about.

Linara_Rya says:
::notes that her sister is nervous, figures it is like this for all brides::

SEC_KTracht says:
FCO : I'll have you know Klingons only take their clothes off when they are.. Well... REady for.. With his.. Well, you know what i mean..

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: It's all right. Take your seat, we'll start soon.

CNS_Azhure says:
::With understanding, goes to get the boquet::

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
<Jenna> Colin: Who knows. ::smiles:: There's mom and dad. ::waves the little girl's hand at her grandparents as they approach them::

FCO_B`lee says:
::whispers towards K'Tracht:: SEC: You do know who is getting married, right?

SEC_KTracht says:
FCO : Besides, I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone.. ::chuckles::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: I have one question.

XO_Rya says:
::Grins suddenly at Linara:: Linara: You're next you know.

FCO_B`lee says:
::turns towards the CEO:: CEO: Yes?

CSO_Vekh says:
::begins scanning the entire room and nodding to everyone he knows, as he makes his way to the front looking for Captain Senn::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::Takes his seat.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
FCO: Aren't you cold?

Host CO_Senn says:
::walks to Silek and Vekh:: Silek/CSO: Are we ready, gentlemen?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Hands the larger bouquet to Alara and the smaller one to her sister.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins wickedly and glances towards the brides maids:: CEO: I

SEC_KTracht says:
::slolwy draws nearer, but still watching the FCO's moves... :: FCO : It's the XO and the CSO.. Alara and Vehk?

Linara_Rya says:
XO: Sis... me? Oh now wait a minute... only if I catch your headband...

FCO_B`lee says:
::grins wickedly and glances towards the brides maids:: CEO: I'm hoping one of them will offer to keep me warm...

Captain_Silek says:
:: follows the groom behind attempting to recognize the officers and nods politely to Captain Senn ::

Host CO_Senn says:
Silek: Captain, it's a pleasure to have you here.

FCO_B`lee says:
::sigh:: SEC: One less eligible female off the market ... we'll have to raise a pint of bloodwine to her loss, later.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::glances down at the FCO and grins::  FCO: I doubt it.

XO_Rya says:
::Spots the headband lying on the table and tosses it to Linara:: Linara: Catch!

CSO_Vekh says:
::spots the Captain Senn approaching:: CO: I'd say yes, Captain. Let me introduce you to my best man, Captain Silek of the Ganymede

Linara_Rya says:
::runs away::

CSO_Vekh says:
Silek: Please meet Captain Senn of the USS Europa

CEO_Tyreen says:
::walks quickly away::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Slides over to K'Tracht and whispers to him:: SEC: I want an eye on those two.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Chuckles::  XO:  It needs to be worn first.  At least I remember something of that as the tradition.

FCO_B`lee says:
::doesn't really care what the CEO thinks and ignores him::

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles gratefully at Vekh for the introduction::

Linara_Rya says:
XO: Do I need to find my true love at the start of my career? I think not.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Indicates the FCO and CEO::

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Azhure:: CNS: I know, but she's so much fun to tease.

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances across K'Tracht to Taylor:: OPS: Which two?

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::slips into the row next to his parents and watches them take Julia::

Captain_Silek says:
CO: I am honored Captain. You're reputation preceeds you.

SEC_KTracht says:
OPS : YEah. Which two?

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods, wondering which reputation:: CO: Same as yours.

XO_Rya says:
::Grins at Linara:: Linara: Just you wait and see. I bet you find him soon, maybe even in there. ::Points off to the conference room's direction.::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::turns around and returns to FCO::  FCO: It was a joke.  I hope I am forgiven.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Gets a distance look in her eyes::  XO:  I remember my sister teasing me and vice-versa, it was fun.

FCO_B`lee says:
::shrugs at Taylor as he continues his conversation with K'Tracht::

Linara_Rya says:
XO: Only if he is cute! ::winks::

XO_Rya says:
::Reaches over and gently squeezes Azhure's hand.::

CSO_Vekh says:
::stands beside the Captains, also spotting a couple of admirals in the room, Edwards been one of them::

Host CO_Senn says:
CSO: Are you ready for me to call the bride? It will take her a moment of two to arrive, just enough to allow us to make it to the front.

XO_Rya says:
~~~~Linara: Now there's a surprise.~~~~ ::winks::

SEC_KTracht says:
::whispers:: FCO : TEll me.. Is this part of the mating rituals of Bajoran culture? ::chuckles:: Flrinting naked with girls?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Comes back to the presence with a smile.::

Linara_Rya says:
::laughs at her sisters mental send::

CSO_Vekh says:
::whispers:: CO: Captain, I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be

FCO_B`lee says:
::hmphs:: SEC: I told you, I am simply showing proper respect for Commander Rya's beliefs. I spent some time on Betazed, I'm sure the Commander will appreciate it even if you don't.

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles:: I am happy to hear that. ::starts walking while tapping her badge:: *CNS* Azhure, we are ready.

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::catches Drayan's eye and smiles a confident smile to help him out::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Plays with his wedding band::

SEC_KTracht says:
::grins:: FCO : I am... What's the word... Teasing you, friend.

CNS_Azhure says:
*CO*:  Good, if we waited much longer the Bride might have married without him.

Captain_Silek says:
CSO: Interesting Commander... I have seen you stare down Romulan disruptors with less nervousness.... Would you be intimidated by the ceremony ?

Host CO_Senn says:
::chuckles:: *CNS* I bet. Senn out.

CNS_Azhure says:
XO/Linara:  Time.

XO_Rya says:
::Chuckles at Azhure's comment.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::gives K'Tracht a playful elbow in the ribs::

Host CO_Senn says:
::stands at the front of the auditorium, facing the wedding's guests::

Linara_Rya says:
::stands up, looks a little more serious now::

CSO_Vekh says:
::has his backs to the wall, so no one can see him rubbing nervously his hands. Catch's Colin's smiles and reattribute the support with a nod::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Opens the door and waits for the two sisters.::

Linara_Rya says:
::exits out::

Host CO_Senn says:
::does a quick mental check of the speech, and finds out she's forgotten it already::

XO_Rya says:
::Swallows hard and then smiles at her sister and her friend and follows them::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::taps commbadge and whispers::  *ME* Crewman: The ceremony is about to begin.  Is everything in order?

CEO_Tyreen says:
<Crewman>@*CEO* Yes sir.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Walks with the two to the conference room, hoping everything there was set, as well as the stuff for the reception.::

Host Adm_Edwards says:
::looks up at Captain Senn::

SEC_KTracht says:
::turns back:: FCO : Where is the female, anyways? Isn't she supposed to be ehre already?

CSO_Vekh says:
::perfectly mimics the legendary 'Vulcan raising eyebrow movement' as he replies:: Silek: At least disruptors do not argue with you about who does the laundry at the end of the week...sir

FCO_B`lee says:
::chuckles:: SEC: I'm afraid you'll need to be more specific, my neanderthalic friend.

Captain_Silek says:
:: nods :: CSO: Perhaps.

SEC_KTracht says:
FCO : The XO.. THe one that is to be bonded today..

CNS_Azhure says:
::Stops at the door and looks at Linara and Alara::  Ready?

FCO_B`lee says:
SEC: I'm sure "the woman" is around here somewhere.

XO_Rya says:
CNS: Ready.

SEC_KTracht says:
::nods:: FCO : THat is the proper title? Woman?

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Admiral Edwards, as the room quiets down a bit and the late comers take their seats::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Opens the doors::

Linara_Rya says:
::looks at CNS:: Seems like she is the better person to ask

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles:: SEC: I'd stick with "Commander Rya" if I were you. ::scratches an itch on his chest:: SEC: Which reminds me .. I wonder if she is taking Vekh's last name or not.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes a deep breath and leads the procession in.::

SEC_KTracht says:
::shrugs:: FCO : That is the custom around Klinogns..The.. woman.. joins the house of the Warrior... I do not know how Betazoid customs go..

XO_Rya says:
::Looks at the backs of all those heads.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::the music starts as Azhure enters the lounge::

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles when she spots Drayan up front.::

Linara_Rya says:
::follows up wating for her cue::

Dr_Colin_Rya says:
::slips his arm around his wife's shoulders and holds her close, smiling as he feels his sister approach::

FCO_B`lee says:
::spots the CNS entering the room and tursn towards her as the music starts ... is genuinely disappointed that she isn't also following Betazoid customs::

CSO_Vekh says:
::faces the entrance as the music starts::

CNS_Azhure says:
::With slow steps matched to the music, they proceed to the front.  She winks at the CSO::

SEC_KTracht says:

CO: I understand, ma'am.  I will have to get the FCO's account later.  Do you realize how humerous you sexual creatures are?

Linara_Rya says:
::raises an eyebrow, but with a smile:: FCO: Um... yes... ::thinks: Food can wait....::

XO_Rya says:
::Nods.:: CNS: Thank you.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Takes the baby from the CSO with a smile::  XO/CSO:  The two of us will be just fine.  When you are ready for her, you can find us... somewhere.

XO_Rya says:
CNS: And thank you for all of your help today.

FCO_B`lee says:
::takes her hand in his and leads her towards the dance floor::

XO_Rya says:
::Tickles Julia's feet.::

CNS_Azhure says:
XO:  It was my honor Alara.

Linara_Rya says:
::follows B'lee out to dance with him::

CSO_Vekh says:
::thanks the CNS with a nod and a genuine smile::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Turns with the little girl and goes back to the Vulcan captain.::

Linara_Rya says:
::watches for some of those "better moves" he talked about::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: I wonder if it would be all right to observe some of the crew.  This has recently become a fascination for me.  Klingons I know about, but they are openly hostile and 
bore me, but nearly everyone else is just so interesting.

FCO_B`lee says:
::wraps his arms around the Commander's sister and begins to move to the beat of the music::

Host CO_Senn says:
::chuckles:: CEO: I have heard it is different for you. However, a little more discretion would be advisable. One of us sexual creatures things.

Captain_Silek says:
:: looks to the CNS and child and immediately sees the ressemblance of the child with Vekh ::

Linara_Rya says:
FCO: you may be bajoran... but... I must ask... ::said suggestively:: Do you... Tango?

CNS_Azhure says:
Captain:  I have a guest to join us, if you do not mind.

XO_Rya says:
::Takes Drayan's hand again.:: CSO: Can we go see the Captain for a minute?

FCO_B`lee says:
::laughs:: Linara: I've been known to trip the light fantastic, from time to time.

Host CO_Senn says:
::keeps smiling:: CEO: Just don't point tricorders and PADDs. If you would like a scientific research, there is lots in our medical database.

CSO_Vekh says:
::as the CNS walks away, he turns to Alara:: XO: I take it this is our chance of a ... strategic retreat. After talking to the captain yes

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Oh, yes ma'am.  You see, for us, procreation was the first thing my race regulated.  It is as mundane as eating to us.  We simply splice our genes and incubate the embryo.

Captain_Silek says:
:: looks down at the child :: CNS: I do not.

Linara_Rya says:
::still with that suggestive smile on her face:: FCO: I bet you have...

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles up at him and pauses to give him a quick kiss near his ear and whispers:: CSO: My thoughts exactly.

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods:: CEO: I have heard that too.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles, then with one hand holding the baby, picks up a plate, moving towards a table.::  Captain:  I admit to some grace, but not enough to eat and hold a baby while standing.

CSO_Vekh says:
::nears the Captain's group::

Host CO_Senn says:
CEO: And I have also heard that intimacy between your people is very pleasurable.

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: however, Captain, I have always wanted to dance.  Will you join me and help me along?

FCO_B`lee says:
::as they dance:: Linara: I hope you don't have to be getting back to the Daystrom Institute anytime soon ... I've got some shoreleave coming up, I believe.

XO_Rya says:
::Spots the Captain and pauses to wait till she notices them.::

Linara_Rya says:
::is enjoying dancing with him, feeling the rythem:: FCO: Not any time soon... ::smiles::

Host CO_Senn says:
::sees Alara and Drayan through the corner of an eye and turns to them::

XO_Rya says:
::Gives Nayla a warm smile.:: CO: Thank you for performing the ceremony Captain.

Host CO_Senn says:
CEO: That would be nice, if you can wait a moment.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::nods to the CAptain and the newlyweds and takes his leave::

CEO_Tyreen says:
CO: Maybe some other time.

CSO_Vekh says:
CO: It was very kind of you, sir.

CEO_Tyreen says:
::wanders back into the throng::

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles back:: XO/CSO: I am glad for you. ::watches Tyreen disappear into the crowd::

Host CO_Senn says:
XO/CSO: I hoped that although not fancy, it would be something you will remember fondly in the future.

Captain_Silek says:
CNS: If I may be of service :: raises his arms ::

XO_Rya says:
CO: We will. ::Impulsively leans over and hugs her.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::hugs Alara back::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Hands him the baby, then leads him to a table away from the general crowd.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::whispers:: XO: I am very happy for you

CSO_Vekh says:
::respectifully nods to the Captain, after she's recovered from Alara's attack:: CO: Thank you again captain

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles widely at Drayan:: CSO: Anytime.

XO_Rya says:
::whispers back:: CO: Thank you. ::hugs her again and then steps back to Drayan's side.::

XO_Rya says:
CSO: Should we make that retreat?

Captain_Silek says:
:: holds the baby in the least awkward manner :: CSO: I am honored to have been of service Commander.

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Immediately ::said with a malicious smile::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles as they sit down, in Vulcan, speaks of various things, beginning with babies::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::squeezes over to the couple one last time::  XO/CSO: Congrats again, I'm off back to the ship, enjoy your honeymoon.

CSO_Vekh says:
Silek: Youre sure more than that sir. Friends always are. And I'm glad to count you among my friends

XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Tyreen::

Captain_Silek says:
CNS: This may prove to be a "pratice run" if you will. .My wife is expecting our first in the upcoming weeks.

CNS_Azhure says:
Captain:  Congratulations are in order.

XO_Rya says:
CO Silek: Congratulations ::smiles:: And thank you.

Captain_Silek says:
:: nods :: CNS: My Thanks

Host CO_Senn says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<End Mission, and Congrats to the Newlyweds!>>>>>>>>>>>>
