Ambassador Suberec
 <<<Begin Mission>>>
   
CSO Lys
 :: at SCI1 coordinating with his monitoring teams ::
 
CO Cutter
 ::on the bridge::  FCO if we had one:  Enter standard orbit around the Srelbraw home world

CMO Cutter
 ::heard she has a console on the bridge and just HAS to see it:: TL: Bridge
 
MO Bishop
 ::cleaning up reports in sickbay::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Hail the Srelbraw Ambassador

EO Davidson
 ::yawns while looking at another report:: Self: Sometimes I wonder if he is testing me.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Aye  :: opens the channel ::

CEO Michaels
 ::steps onto the bridge and takes a seat at the engineering console::

CMO Cutter
 ::steps onto the bridge, looking around::
 
MO Bishop
 ::is glad she pretty much has sickbay to herself for the time being::
 
CO Cutter
 ::looks at his wife surprised::   CMO:  Lost?
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ COMM: Hayden: I am Ambassador Elgae Welcome

Ambassador Suberec
 Action: a hawk-like visage appears on screen

CMO Cutter
 ::makes a face at her husband:: CO: Did you know I have a station or console or something up here??
 
CO Cutter
 COMM:  Amb. Elgae:  I'm Captain Jason Cutter.  Sorry we're late...  we were unavoidably held up.   Can you brief me on the situation?
 
CO Cutter
 CMO:  Uh huh... it's the one no one else is standing at.  ::grins::
 
MO Bishop
 :: reads the last of a report and sees another medic enter sickbay::

CMO Cutter
 ::pouts:: CO: You could have told me before you know..
   
CSO Lys
 :: finishes compiling a short brief for Capt. Cutter on the welcoming ceremony of the Sressih ::

EO Davidson
 ::thinks he better check gel packs again:: Self: I hate those dang things
 
CO Cutter
 CMO:  Not my fault... you need to show up at staff meetings
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ COMM: Hayden: Captain Cutter, it is quite alright. The Tolafra and Sressih delegates are waiting your arrival.

CMO Cutter
 CO: I show up!  You never said anything.  And you never said anything during those "special" staff meetings you and I have alone either!
 
CO Cutter
 COMM:  Amb. Elgae:  Very well...  please send the coordinates and we'll be right down.

CMO Cutter
 ::starts checking out her station::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: All systems are in tiptop order, and the gel pack problem seems to be fixed. All is quiet down here.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ ::Nods to someone off screen:: COMM: Hayden: The coordinates are now being sent
 
CO Cutter
 All:  Anything else I need to be aware of before I head down?
 
MO Bishop
 <Medic Manning>MO: Good day Doctor... ::smiles and nods at her::
 
CO Cutter
 CMO:  You ready Keely?

CEO Michaels
 ::chuckles at Keely's last comment::  *EO*: Glad to hear it, keep me posted if anything changes.

Ambassador Suberec
 @ ::checks his appearance in a mirror and decides he looks stately enough::
   
CSO Lys
 :: nods to the CO ::  CO: I've got the last of the greeting info sir.  Took a while to find the info on the Sressih.
 
MO Bishop
 ::grins:: Manning: Hello...::pauses, urging him to complete the sentence with his name::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ COMM: Hayden: Captain, details of the conflict are being sent as well.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*:I doubt it will. All seems pretty quiet

CMO Cutter
 ::dusts off her console:: CO: Hmm?  Oh.. yup.  Ready when you are.
 
CO Cutter
 ::groans::  CSO:  Tell me.

CO Cutter
 COMM:  Amb. Elgae:  Thank you Ambassador.
 
MO Bishop
 <Manning>MO: Manning, Vince Manning. I've been newly assigned to the day shift here.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: But on this ship nothing ever is. Davidson out.
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  It says here the at meeting, Sressih will scratch the floor and then flick each other in the nose with their tails resulting in a sneeze.
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @ ::licks her paw and purrs:: Self: Perrrrrfect!
   
CSO Lys
 CO: It seems they have had experience with cultures lacking tails, so the flick can be omitted.  However the scratching and especially the sneeze are very important.

CMO Cutter
 ::leans against a console, grinning:: CO: Can't wait to see how you pull that off Jase.
 
CO Cutter
 ::closes his eyes and shakes his head::  CMO:  The things I do for Starfleet....
 
MO Bishop
 Manning: Ahh yes, I must have missed it in the daily roster. Sorry.... Bishop, Dr. Jerlia Bishop.... ::shakes his hand::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Review the info they're sending up and contact me with the pertinent info.
 
MO Bishop
 ::smiles and nods at the medic::
 
CO Cutter
 CMO:  Keely, let's go...   ::heads for the TR::
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Aye :: starts looking over the incoming information ::
 
MO Bishop
 <Manning>MO: Is there anything that you need me to do right off hand?

CMO Cutter
 ::grins:: CO: Aye, aye bossman.

CMO Cutter
 ::follows to the TR::
   
CSO Lys
 :: reads over the extensive history of the conflict ::  Self: One universal constant seems to be war  :: continues reading ::
 
MO Bishop
 Manning: Well, you could start by logging these medical files for me. With the ship plagued from that allergen, a lot of files need to be updated. Most of them due for physicals I can see. You might want to make note of who's due for one.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ ::Awaits the Federation negotiators::

CO Cutter
 CMO:  Ready?
 
MO Bishop
 <Manning>MO: Yes, Doctor... ::takes a couple of padds and heads off to a nearby console::

CMO Cutter
 CO: To watch you whack someone in the face with your butt? ::grins::
 
CO Cutter
 ::ignores her::  TR Chief::  Energize

CMO Cutter
 ::gets rid of the smile but her eyes still sparkling::

EO Davidson
 ::gets up from his console::Lela:You have engineering till i get back. I am going to go deliver a couple reports. Be back. ::exits Engineering::

CMO Cutter
 ::does the shimmer thing::

Ambassador Suberec
 Action: the AT materializes near the Srelbraw Ambassador
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  You should take a look at this.  Seems this conflict has spanned multiple generations.  There are multiple accounts of contested lands on all three planets that one or all three of the species consider sacred... there are acts of destruction, exile, relocation...  for centuries.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ ::Watches as the transporter brings them down::

CO Cutter
 @::materializes and looks around for moment::

CEO Michaels
 ::walks over to Science::  CSO: And they expect US to be able to do something about this?

CMO Cutter
 @::looks around::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: It seems there have been multiple attempts at peace - but generally the hostility has never ended long enough for a true attempt.

EO Davidson
 ::walks onto the bridge and sighs:: CEO: Here's the daily report....thought you might like a copy before I file it away in the computer.

CEO Michaels
 ::looks over at the EO::  EO: Anything special on it?
 
CO Cutter
 @ ::walks over to the Amb::  Amb. Elgae, it's my honor to meet you.  I'm afraid my attempt at your greeting will be poor, but attempt it I shall.   ::makes sounds like a sick tricorder::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: I'm sure glad I'm not the Captain on this one...

EO Davidson
 CEO: Just a cause for the drop in gel pack efficiency from last week.

CMO Cutter
 @::hangs back, biting her cheek to keep a straight face.. actually appearing professional::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Other then that its pretty routine.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  I'm also finding long list of terrorist attacks on all sorts of targets.  I would suggest we keep our eyes open.
 
MO Bishop
 ::watches the hunky medic walk off to do his work... shakes her head:: Self: Stop it, Jerlia! You're working for pete's sake...
 
CO Cutter
 @ ::makes a note to beat his wife when they get back::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CO: Your greeting honors us. Welcome to the Srelbraw home world. ::Returns the greeting::

CEO Michaels
 EO: Go ahead and submit it then.

EO Davidson
 ::nods ::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Do you think there's a chance the Captain's visit will be a target?

CMO Cutter
 @::a strange emotion... oh, could it be pride? for her husband? ::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Turns and greets the others as well::

EO Davidson
 ::leaves the bridge and stands in the TL for a minute::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: It is definitely a possibility
 
CO Cutter
 @Amb:  Please allow me to introduce my wife and our Chief Medical Officer, Keely Cutter.

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Fine time for us to be shorthanded in the Tactical department I'd say...all right let's keep an eye on things we'll pull the lot of em out of there if we have to.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CO: The others will arrive soon. In the mean time I have arranged some refreshments for you.  ::Motions as others bring them::

CMO Cutter
 @::steps forward and greets the Amb.:: Amb: I'm pleased to meet you.
 
MO Bishop
 ::closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, knowing she has to try and get out to socialize a little more... focuses on her work again... with occasional glance in his direction::

Ambassador Suberec
 @::gives his tunic one last tug and heads to the meeting::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  I have teams monitoring all communications from the planet per the Captain's orders.  If anything is going to happen, hopefully we will know about it.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Takes drink from servant and hands it to Captain Cutter::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Yeah...hopefully...
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CMO: I welcome you as well. ::Nods::
 
CO Cutter
 @::hands a drink to Keely and take another himself::  Amb:  What is this?
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  I'll also keep a lock on them at all times... just in case.

CMO Cutter
 @::smiles at her husband and takes the drink::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Keep one on the ambassadors too, I don't want any assassination attempt succeeding while we're supposed to be negotiating peace.  It could take centuries to recover from a loss like that.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CO: It is a common drink made from a special flower on my planet
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: Aye

Ambassador Suberec
 @::enters the room with the AT and Ambassador Elgae giving a low woof and makes eye contact with the CO::
 
CO Cutter
 @::sips it and smiles::  Amb:  Very nice

EO Davidson
 TL: Sick Bay

CMO Cutter
 @::wonders about how safe the drink is but cautiously sips it::

EO Davidson
 ::starts humming a Bajoran tune as he exits the TL and heads for sickbay::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Turns as Amb. Suberec arrives. His expression noticeably changes::

CMO Cutter
 @::hears the woof and jumps slightly, turning around::

Ambassador Suberec
 @::advances directly towards the CO without loosing eye contact and circles him carefully sniffing at him::
 
MO Bishop
 <Manning>MO: Err, excuse me Dr. I noticed that EO Davidson is due for a physical....

EO Davidson
 ::enters sickbay still humming the little tune and looks around:: CMO/MO: Anyone home?
 
CO Cutter
 @::sets his drink down and moved toward Suberec, keeping eye contact....  carefully circles him, sniffing... making a note he badly needs a doggy bath::

CMO Cutter
 @::wonders if she should take Jason's drink so he doesn't spill it during the greeting::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CO: Let me introduce Ambassador Suberec of Tolafra
 
MO Bishop
 ::grins looking up at Vince:: Manning: Well speak of the devil..... EO: Over here Lt.... ::motions to the EO::

CEO Michaels
 ::walks back across the bridge and sits down at Engineering, going over a few routine inspections::

Ambassador Suberec
 @::sneezes at the strange human scent:: Greetings Captain, I hope your difficulties were not too great in getting here.

EO Davidson
 MO: Doctor?
 
CO Cutter
 @Suberec:  ::nods::  I'm Captain Jason Cutter.  ::motions to Keely::  This is my wife and CMO, LCDR Keely Cutter.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Steps back as the two perform the traditional greeting::

CMO Cutter
 @::starting to wonder why the heck she's here but smiles winningly::
 
CO Cutter
 @Suberec:  They were.... distracting....  rather large actually, but my apologies for the delay.
 
MO Bishop
 EO: Yes, Lt... over here....

Ambassador Suberec
 @::nods the Keely:: Wonderful of you to include your mate.
 
MO Bishop
 ::leaves Manning to his work and heads to the EO:: EO: What can I do for you?

EO Davidson
 ::walks over to the....MO::

CMO Cutter
 @::smiles overly brightly at Jason::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::sweeps into the room, her attendants in tow and walks directly to the most impressive looking man in the room::
 
CO Cutter
 @ ::grins inwardly at Keely's designation of mate::

Ambassador Suberec
 @CO: Captain, I'm certain you will appreciate her input into these proceedings. ::nods to Elgae ::

EO Davidson
 MO: Doc....according to my information its physical time for me.....thought I would get it done and over with while CMO is on the surface ::laughs::  Just kidding.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CO: Captain, Amb. Xelef of Sressih
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::flutters her long eyelashes at the Captain then gets down on all fours and waits for the Captain to do the same::
 
CO Cutter
 @::adds to his list of 386 reasons he hates cats and gets down on all fours... doesn't look at Keely cause he'll break out laughing if he does::

Ambassador Suberec
 @::watches the greeting stiffly and moves to the other side of the table::

EO Davidson
 MO: Where do you want me to sit?
 
MO Bishop
 ::smirks:: EO: Yes of course, in fact my medic just informed me of that.... shall we begin? ::motions to the biobed::

CMO Cutter
 @::eyes narrow at the fluttering eyelashes and then tries very hard not to kick Jason in the pants::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::begins to scratch the floor and mew softly::

EO Davidson
 ::sits on the biobed:: MO: Did I see a smile?
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Returns Amb Suberec's acknowledgement::
 
CO Cutter
 @ ::scratches the floor and waits for the incoming tail::
 
MO Bishop
 ::raises her eyebrows:: EO: Of course that was a smile. You don't like smiles?
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Steps even farther away as Amb Xelef approaches::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::turns slightly and flicks her tail across the Captain's face::

CMO Cutter
 @::watches the greetings but also the other Ambassadors closely:

EO Davidson
 MO: No I love smiles. Just haven't seen you smile since you came aboard. That's all....it was, ummmm, a nice smile.
 
MO Bishop
 ::runs her medical tricorder over him and taps a few buttons::
 
CO Cutter
 @::sneezes....  makes a note that he's gotta get a tail for Keely::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::waits for him to sneeze once more::
 
MO Bishop
 EO: Well, I'm mostly locked away here in sickbay so I guess you've only seen me when I'm hard at work...
 
CO Cutter
 @::sneezes a second time::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::purrs loudly and motions him to stand::

EO Davidson
 ::sits there and sighs:: MO: How's life for you aboard the Hayden? You should get out more then Doc. There are a lot of good holodeck programs in the data base.

CEO Michaels
 ::Grins and looks over at Lys::  CSO: So you think the Captain's gotten to the sniffing part yet?  ::chuckles::
 
CO Cutter
 @::stands:: Xelef:  Ambassador, a pleasure to meet you.  I'm Captain Jason Cutter.  This is my wife and CMO, LCDR Keely Cutter.

CMO Cutter
 @::nods at the Xelef:: Xelef: Ambassador. It's a pleasure to meet you.
   
CSO Lys
 :: thinks about it and a disgusted look crosses his face ::  CEO:  If command is about sniffing, sneezing and tweeting, I'm glad to stay right here.
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::stands and bows slightly:: CO: Captain, at long last we meet. You do us great honor with your greeting. ::nods to the others::
 
MO Bishop
 ::chuckles:: EO: Yes, I've noticed. But my idea of getting out isn't going to the holodeck every night.

CEO Michaels
 ::laughs out loud::  CSO: You and me both!

EO Davidson
 MO: Mine neither...give me a good book and a raktajino and I would take that any day. 

EO Davidson
 MO: Or spending time with my daughter....but.....::voice trails off::
 
CO Cutter
 @::whispers::  CMO:  Keely, go talk to Suberec... I'll chat with Xelef
   
CSO Lys
 :: checking some of the feeds his team is monitoring, comes across something like what was know as a sitcom...  a Tolafra, Sressih and Srelbraw all live in the same house and get into hilarious predicaments ::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Motions for servants to bring more refreshments::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::motions to her attendants for the bowl and hands it to the Captain:: CO: Share this bowl of the nectar of my people.

CMO Cutter
 @::nods and heads towards Suberec::
 
MO Bishop
 ::pauses in her tricorder readings as his voice trails off sadly.. wants to know more, but is hesitant to ask::
 
CO Cutter
 @::smiles::  Xelef:   Thank you.  ::takes the bowl::  I'm afraid I know little of your people Ambassador.  What can you tell me of your world?

Ambassador Suberec
 @::turns to the lovely young lady approaching him and smiles a rather toothy smile::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @CO: Drink first, then we will talk.
 
CO Cutter
 @::nods and takes a sip of the nectar::

EO Davidson
 MO:I lost her during our jaunt to the Delta Quadrant. Before you were on board. The Borg got her. I took sometime off. I still haven't picked up her toys. It's hard you know.

CMO Cutter
 @::not sure if the smile was friendly or an indication she is in trouble but smiles back:: Suberec: Ambassador.  I'm afraid I know so little of your culture.  What was the significance of the greeting between yourself and my husband?
 
MO Bishop
 ::continues to follow her whirring tricorder::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @CO: Is it to your liking?
 
CO Cutter
 @Xelef:  It's very....  different for me.  What is it?

Ambassador Suberec
 @ CMO: It must be difficult serving on the same ship with your mate.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @ ALL: The meeting area is prepared, and you may make your way there when all have had refreshments

MO Bishop
 ::looks at him long and hard.... suddenly imagining losing her son to the Borg.... feels a chill go down her spine and blinks hard to snap out of it:: EO: Yes.... I can imagine...::speaks in a near whisper::

CMO Cutter
 @Suberec: In what way do you mean?

CEO Michaels
 CSO: You know...it's nice up here when it's quiet, we so rarely have that.
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @CO: I hope it is still warm. It is the mother's milk from my number one attendant. ::smiles::

EO Davidson
 MO:Did I say something wrong Doc? Sorry didn't mean to up set you. 
 
CO Cutter
 @::smile frozen on his face::  Xelef:  Really?  How....  unique.  ::Forces himself to take another drink::
   
CSO Lys
 :: looks up from watching the show ::  CEO: Um, yes sir... quiet.. nice  

Ambassador Suberec
 @ CMO: In the past when two males met they used the greeting to determine friend or foe. The tradition has continued. My people have a keen sense of smell. Would it surprise you to know that I can tell your mate has been ill from his scent?

CEO Michaels
 ::looks curiously at Lys::  CSO: What's got your attention over there.  ::Gets up and walks across the bridge::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @CO: This will bring you many children and very soon.
 
MO Bishop
 ::snaps out of her trance:: EO: No, not at all....::smile returns to her face as she looks to her tricorder and nods::... there... you're all done.... I'll see you again in 6 months time....
 
CO Cutter
 @::laughs:: Xelef:  Not if my wife gets a vote.  So... you were going to tell me about your world?
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::takes the bowl:: CO: Now we may talk.

CMO Cutter
 @Suberec: Ah.  Interesting tradition.  I hadn't considered it in that sense but it makes sense.  And yes, I suppose if your species has such a keen sense of smell that you would be able to tell that he had been ill.  He's fine now, however.  His previous illness will not interfere with the negotiations if thats what you are wondering.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  Just some broadcast from the surface sir. :: watches the Alien "Three's Company" ::
 
MO Bishop
 ::closes her tricorder and downloads the data into the nearest console::

EO Davidson
 MO: Doc....I must of hit a chord or something.

Ambassador Suberec
 @Elgae: Ambassador, I want to thank you for hosting these proceedings

CEO Michaels
 ::chuckles at a joke as he watches over the CSO's shoulder::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: It might give us some insight to their cultures.  :: tries to keep a straight face but can't at the antics - begins to laugh ::

Ambassador Suberec
 @CMO: You are most perceptive. I can see why the Captain values you
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @Amb Suberec: It is an honor, and peace between your worlds will be thanks enough.

CEO Michaels
 CSO: And if not, it'll at least entertain us while the Captain's off...negotiating.

CMO Cutter
 @::just smiles in response to Suberec's comment::
 
MO Bishop
 ::smiles and shakes her head:: EO: Not at all. I have a son.... and I can't imagine something like that happening to him.... I'm very sorry, Lieutenant....

EO Davidson
 MO: It's okay. Call me Jay.  It still hurts sometimes. That was your little boy I met when you first came on board?
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @CO: My world is a wondrous place filled with love and harmony. We possess great medical technology and we have become experts in the ways of weapons. ::looks at the other ambassador:: They have forced us to develop evil weapons to defend ourselves.

CMO Cutter
 @::still unsure what Suberec had meant about it being difficult to serve on the ship with her "mate"::
 
MO Bishop
 ::smiles back at him, thinking fondly of her son:: EO: Yes, that's Dalton... a little fireball he is....

Ambassador Suberec
 @CMO: The Srelbraw have provided some delicacies from our home world, perhaps you would like me to guide you through some of them? ::takes her arm and leads her towards a table laden with snacks::

EO Davidson
 ::laughs:: MO: Ahh....I remember. Fireball?

CMO Cutter
 @Suberec: That would be lovely, thank you.

CMO Cutter
 @::follows the Ambassador's lead::
 
CO Cutter
 @Xelef:  I should have you talk to my wife.  She would be very interested in your medical technology.  What have the… ::tries not to say doggy people::  Tolafra done to you?

CMO Cutter
 @Suberec: Which would you recommend?
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Stands near table listening to the conversations::
 
MO Bishop
 ::chuckles:: EO: Well, not really... he's just an exceptionally active child sometimes
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::leans close to the Captain:: CO: Beware Suberec! He lures your wife to ruin. He and his people claim our lands for themselves and try and take them by force.

Ambassador Suberec
 @::Offers the CMO a bowl with some rather rare pieces of meat:: These are from a wild hen. I find them delicious but you may prefer some of these fruits?

EO Davidson
 EO: So was Kiara. She was just beginning to walk and talk really well for someone her age. Her first words were "Da."  Brought a tear to my eye when she said that.
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @CO: Captain, I think those questions should be reserved for the negotiating room?

CMO Cutter
 @Suberec: Perhaps I could try a bit of both then. ::smiles again and takes some of the meat and then some of the fruit::
 
Ambassador Elgae
 @::Looks directly at Amb Xelef::
 
CO Cutter
 @::smiles::  My wife can certainly care for herself Ambassador.  I have every faith in her.  I understand your feeling in this peace effort.  Hopefully we can reach an accord between the two races.

Ambassador Suberec
 @CMO: Excellent ::smiles again::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @CO: We want only peace. That is why we have asked for your assistance.
 
CO Cutter
 @::skips telling Elgae to mind his own business::  Elgae:  Of course
 
MO Bishop
 EO: It does melt your heart doesn't it?
 
CO Cutter
 @Xelef:  Excellent!  That is half the battle.

EO Davidson
 MO: Yes it does. Anyway....better get back to engineering ::leaves sick bay::

CMO Cutter
 @::tries some of the rather rare meat, doing a great job of not choking and then uses the fruit to get rid of the taste, never once showing what she thought of it all on her face::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::glares across the room at Suberac:: CO: He will not be so easy to deal with. ::hisses::

Ambassador Suberec
 @::glances at Xelef certain that she has not forgotten his excellent hearing. The hair on the back of his neck rises a little::
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods:: EO: oF course....

EO Davidson
 ::gives the MO a quick wink before leaving::

CMO Cutter
 @::notices the hair on his neck rise and stiffens slightly::

Ambassador Suberec
<<<Pause mission>>>
