Mission Summary
After a long, grueling mission, the staff is ready to PARTY! The captain has graciously invited everyone to a party hosted by her in the Lounge, where officers are supposed to relax, and deservedly so. It is a rare chance for socializing, one that everyone present is encouraged to take advantage of.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
USS Huron 10211.16 The Party Part One

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
The Captain is giving an informal dinner party.  After months of feverish activity, this down time may be the last for several months.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Leaving Quarters, wearing a very loose fitting robe weaved of strands of colorful yarn.::

Host XO_Knight says:
::in sickbay, standing beside Randi::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::in her quarters deciding what to wear for her party::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::lying in bed looking up at an outrageous Roz and the XO looking at her::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ALL:  Hi guys! ::grinning::

CSO_Woo says:
::prepares scheduling lab time for the data analysis from through the gateway... and wondering what to wear for the dinner party::

OPS_Barnes says:
::on the bridge, running ship system diagnostics::

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  How are you feeling?

FCO_Roznine says:
::enters sickbay with a flourish and strikes a pose next to Randi's biobed:: CNS: Hey there. Like the look? ::doesn't notice the Commander standing there::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  I have a slight headache, but the doc says that will disappear soon.  Two concussions in one year, I must have set a record!

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Yikes!  Who scared you?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::pushes things aside in the closet looking for something special::

FCO_Roznine says:
::smile fades a little:: CNS: The hair?

Host XO_Knight says:
::notices Dylan and is a bit taken aback::  CNS:  I think you're at the top in the record department.  ::grins::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Is that what you call it?  ::trying her best not to laugh::

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: I understand you were responsible for detecting the away team while we were in the tunnel, am I correct, ensign?

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins at Randi and Ethan:: CNS/XO: Its called "out of bed" hair... according to my mother.

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  I guess we're both not used to seeing you this casual.  ::smiles::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, I am missing some of what happened, the doc wouldn't let anyone tell me anything!

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, I think your mother was being kind! ::chuckling::

OPS_Barnes says:
::looks up from the console:: CSO: At least partially, sir, aye.

FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CNS: The last vestiges of a misspent youth.

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  There'll be time for that later.  If you're feeling up to it, the Captain has invited us for a dinner.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::then she eyes Roz up and down::  FCO:  But those pants, err, em, do fit you like a glove! ::eyes twinkling::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Security Office, making last minute checks on ship status.::

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CNS: Leather... the only way to wear it.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::selects a little black silk number with a slit up the side and a rather daring neckline for her::

Host XO_Knight says:
::shakes his head and chuckles loudly::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Really?  I would love to come, but the doctor won't let me out of here!  Think you might have any pull with him?  :: winking at him::

CSO_Woo says:
::subconsciously rearranges the displays and controls around the central seat on the bridge:: Self: Oh, God, I'm gonna have to change all this... OPS: At your earliest convenience, I'd like all your data that was collected while you were trying to detect our biosigns. While in the other realm, I found that our tricorders didn't work at all.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Well I hope you aren't going to sit tonight...

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  I might have a little "pull" here.  I'll see what I can do.  ::heads toward the doctor::

FCO_Roznine says:
::looks Ethan up and down and smiles:: CNS: Oh, trust me - I've done more than sit in these pants.

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: I'll get on it right away, sir. ::stands up from OPS console, and motions for a relief officer to take his place::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  I am not going there Roz... ::laughing::

FCO_Roznine says:
::laughs as well:: CNS: I didn't think you were.

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: Oh, I did not mean now, Ensign ::smiles:: I will not begin my analysis until tomorrow.

OPS_Barnes says:
::walks towards Science-1 station, as another Ensign takes his place at OPS::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  But I will say this, the rear view is splendid!

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: At your earliest convenience, your earliest convenience... well, now would be good too ::smiles:: Are you looking forward to this little dinner party of the Captain's?

Host XO_Knight says:
::heads back to the biobed::  CNS:  Well, it looks like you're going to dinner.  Of course, I had to bargain.....there will be someone from medical there at all times.

FCO_Roznine says:
::laughs even louder:: CNS: Thanks... you should hear some of the things I was asked to do because of these pants.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Really?  All right!  Do I get to walk or do I have to ride in that contraption I see coming up the hallway?

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Scoo>  ::Trying not to laugh.::  CTO:  Sir, the Transporter Chief said he needs a hand fixing a wall in Room 1.  Know anything about that?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::slips the dress on and the matching black heels, then checks her form over in the mirror::Self: Ok, this will do nicely. Now to go and visit Randi for a few moments. ::exits her quarters on the way to sickbay::

OPS_Barnes says:
::with a very restrained tone of disgust:: CSO: I suppose so, sir.

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  We'll leave it up to your capable decision.

OPS_Barnes says:
::looks towards the console, and begins to call up sensor logs::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Glares.::  Scoo: You really want back in the Doghouse, don't you Ensign?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::eyes the attendant with the frown on his face::  XO:  From his look, I think I better ride in it... ::leans over and whispers::  Interdepartmental cooperation you know!

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: You suppose so, eh? ::laughs:: I'm sure it'll be fun and relaxing - and that's exactly what we need right now ::smiles::

OPS_Barnes says:
::still concentrating on Sci-1:: CSO: If you say so, sir.

FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles at Randi's words:: CNS: Yes, I think its a good idea.

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Scoo> CTO: Doghouse, sir?  According to the ship scuttlebutt, that's what my quarters are called.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and leaves, shaking head as he goes.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO/XO:  Ok, which of you two good-looking gentlemen get to push me?

Host XO_Knight says:
*CSO*:   Eric, I want you and Ensign Barnes to turn over the bridge to your relief crew and to change for the Captain's dinner.

FCO_Roznine says:
::glances at Ethan:: XO: I'll take one shift, and you take the next.

Host XO_Knight says:
::looks at Dylan::  FCO:  Well, I carried her into this realm.  I think it's your turn.  ::smiles::

OPS_Barnes says:
::overhears the communication and tries very hard not to roll his eyes:: Self: Guess this'll have to wait...

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO/XO:  And this is an onerous duty Roz?  ::glaring at him, then grins::

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: Right, if I say so... haha... *XO* Aye, sir. OPS: You heard the commander. Time to ENJOY the dinner, ensign. ::stands up and walks toward the turbolift::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::walks down the corridor towards sickbay getting some interesting looks from her crew::

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: XO: Aye, sir! ::looks:: Uhm, where is the steering console?

OPS_Barnes says:
::stands up from Sci-1, and follows CSO into the TL::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ALL:  Ok guys, let me get out of bed, unless you plan on leaving without me!

FCO_Roznine says:
CNS: By all means... we're awaiting your pleasure.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::pulling the light sheet back, she swings her legs over to the side of the bed, and steps down onto the floor;:

CSO_Woo says:
::leans against the side of the turbolift as it starts moving towards deck 14:: OPS: I have no idea what to wear to these things... ::giggles::

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Oh, and you don't want to pilot her like she's a starship!  ::grins::

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Deck 8.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::enters sickbay and sees the crowd around the counselor's bed:: All: Is this a private party or can a lowly Captain join in? ::smiles at the group::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::stepping away from the bed, she feels slightly dizzy and waivers on her feet::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Exits Security Office, jumping into Jeffries tubes and climbs down the two decks to the Lounge.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma'am!  :;she tries to stand up straight, but can't quite manage it::

FCO_Roznine says:
::grabs Randi's elbow and glances over his shoulder at the Captain::

Host XO_Knight says:
::smiles::  CO:  Welcome Captain.  We were just getting Randi here ready for your dinner.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Thanks Roz ::smiling sheepishly::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Easy Randi, sit down please.

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: I personally don't see anything wrong with a dress uniform... haven't gotten to try mine on yet... but the Captain has asked for something "casual" I believe... ::holds back a sigh::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank You Ma’am ::reaching for the wheelchair's arm, and sitting down::

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CNS: A pleasure. ::helps her into the chair and turns to look at the captain properly:: CO: Ma'am, can I say one thing?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: Commander, I think I'd better get Randi ready. You gentlemen had better head to the lounge. ::winks at Randi::

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: "Casual", eh? ::smiles:: Hmm... ::feels the turbolift slow down and the doors slide open:: My stop ::smiles:: I'll see you later, Chris. :;steps off and walks down the corridor::

Host XO_Knight says:
::looks at Dylan::  FCO:  You heard the Captain.  ::smiles::

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: Commander. ::nods, as the TL doors close::

FCO_Roznine says:
All: Wow! Captain, you look smashing, as my brother would put it.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I don't have anything to wear but this gown!

OPS_Barnes says:
::releases a sigh, now that he's alone:: Self: How can they be partying after half the crew of the Vimy Ridge was lost...?

CSO_Woo says:
::walks up to the door of his quarters, and unlocks it... quickly runs to his quarters and starts pulling stuff out of his closets::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;blushes::FCO: Why thank you Roz, you look rather fetching yourself. ::looks him up and down smiling::

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Come on Dylan, you're with me.  ::begins to head out of sickbay::

Host XO_Knight says:
CO/CNS:  We'll see you both at dinner.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: I have sent for some of your things Randi. They should be here in a few moments.

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles back at Ethan:: CO: Thanks... I do try to please... see you two just now. ::walks out of sickbay with Ethan::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::nods to Ethan::

OPS_Barnes says:
::TL comes to a halt, and the doors open. Chris walks down the corridor a bit, and makes a left at his quarters::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you Ma’am, had it not been for the XO, I would have missed your party.

CSO_Woo says:
::pulls out a pair of grey khakis and a tight grey/purple/blue shirt, and tosses them onto his bed::

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  You don't mind if we stop by my quarters so that I may change, do you?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Then I owe Ethan a debt of gratitude.

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: By all means...

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, did we lose anyone coming back?  No one will tell me anything!

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Send memo to Chief Spencer... The Systems Diagnostic shows positive from the Bridge. 

CSO_Woo says:
::takes off his uniform and hops into the sonic shower for a quick shower - checks the time::

Host XO_Knight says:
::enters the TL::  FCO:  So Dylan, you looking forward to this?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: All of our crew made it back Randi including Randy.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Nods to security at the Lounge entrance, as they wonder both why their Chief dropped from the JT's, and why he's wearing basically a yarn net robe.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  Shane walks into the sickbay with clothes for Randi.

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: XO: Sure do. We've been under a lot of pressure lately... this was a great idea of the Captain's.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Randy?  He is still here? ::shakes her head::  Oh no... what are we going to do with him?

OPS_Barnes says:
::walks over to his desk, and removes his communicator and pip::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Look here are your things. We will discuss your "friend" later.

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  It's good to know that the Captain is always looking out for her crew.  ::smiles::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::looking up she notices Shane::

CSO_Woo says:
::hops out of the sonic shower and to his bedroom, slapping on the clothes and grabbing a bottle of gel out of his drawers::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I am still a little shaky on my feet, perhaps you should call a nurse to help me dress.  I don't want to bother you with it.

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Yup, sure is. I think I'm going to like serving on this ship.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Computer: Music, low and quick paced.  Something...oh, random selection pulled at random from the senior staff's favorite selections.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::smiles at Shane::CNS: It would be my honor to assist you Randi. ::waves Shane away::

Host XO_Knight says:
::enters his quarters and is greeting by Aurora::  Aurora:  You keep Dylan company while I change into something more comfortable.  FCO:  Dylan, please make yourself comfortable.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  But Ma’am, you are the Captain, you shouldn't be doing this ::objecting as the Captain helps her out of the chair::

OPS_Barnes says:
::walks over to the armoire, and changes out of his uniform into a red, long-sleeved shirt, and black pants, with casual shoes::

FCO_Roznine says:
::settles down on the sofa:: XO: Take your time. Aurora and I have some strategic planning to do.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Nonsense Randi, for the next few hours I'm just Serena, your friend I hope? ::helps Randi to stand and pulls the screen in front of her so she can change in private::

Host XO_Knight says:
::goes into his bedroom and starts changing clothes::  ~~~CNS:  I'm really glad that you're okay Randi.~~~

CSO_Woo says:
::buttons up his khakis and turns around in front of the mirror, before heading back to the washroom with his gel... slaps some gel on his hair and spikes the entire thing::

CTO_Ayidee says:
Bartender: Milk, room temp.  By the way, what are the odds of getting some live entertainment in here for the Captain's party?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~XO:  Thank you Sir, and thank you for saving me.~~~

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi takes the clothes that Serena hands her, and takes off the ugly gown::

Host XO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  No need to thank me Randi.....it comes with the job.~~~

CSO_Woo says:
::stands in front of the mirror to admire his khakis:: Self: God, I need to eat more... ::leaves his bedroom and walks out of his quarters, heading towards the turbolift::

FCO_Roznine says:
Aurora: So, dear lady, have you thought of how we can get that man to tell us what his cryptic words mean from the last time I was here?

OPS_Barnes says:
::walks back over to the desk, and pins his comm. badge to his shirt, and pins his pip to his collar. He proceeds out the door, and back into the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::can't help but be attuned to Ethan speaking to Randi telepathically and smiles at his kindness::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, are you sure you want me to wear this?  ::one of her slinkiest dresses that hugs her closely::

CSO_Woo says:
::enters the turbolift:: Turbolift: Deck 7, lounge, please.

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Deck 7, forward.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: It's a party counselor, so enjoy.

Host XO_Knight says:
::emerges from the bedroom::  FCO:  Well, this feels much better.  Care for anything to drink before we go?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: By the way I have something that will go well with that dress.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yes Ma’am, and thank you for coming down here.  ::smiling shyly at her::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  You do Ma’am?  Did I forget something? ::looking down at herself::

OPS_Barnes says:
::TL comes to a halt as suddenly as it started, as it was only one deck away::

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles as Aurora looks at him, and looks up as Ethan returns:: XO: Sure, that will be great. Scotch?

CSO_Woo says:
::waits as the turbolift makes a short trip... and the doors slide open:: Self: Well, then... ::walks down the corridor, receiving some looks from various crewmen, before arriving at the lounge::

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Scotch?  I didn't take you for a drinking man.  ::grins::

OPS_Barnes says:
::Steps out of the TL, walks up to the lounge doors, straightens his shirt, puts any thought of disgust out of his mind, and proceeds in::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::reaches around the screen and hands Randi a small box:: CNS: For you.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::looks at the box the Captain hands her::  CO:  But Ma’am, this doesn't belong to me, are you sure?

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Bartender>: CTO: With 5 minutes notice? Riiight.  ::Hands him the milk and moves to the new comers.::

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: XO: Call it the remains of a misspent youth... Iota Aurigae isn't the backwater some people think. It might be a mining world, but we're not too backward for a mud ball.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Open it Randi and see for yourself.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::pushes the screen back and waits to see Randi's face::

Host XO_Knight says:
::arrives to where Dylan is sitting with two scotches in hand and hands one to Dylan::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yes Ma’am ::opening the box, realizing what is in it her eyes go wide::

CSO_Woo says:
::notices OPS coming up behind him:: OPS: Hey, Chris ::smiles:: I see you're not wearing your dress uniform ::giggles:: Trust me, everyone looks better out of those ridiculous dress uniforms... ::presses the padd next to the doors and steps into the lounge::

FCO_Roznine says:
::takes the drink:: XO: Thanks... you know Aurora is just as interested as I am to know what you meant the last time I was here. Its been preying on my mind.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::one of the few times in her life she is speechless, she just stands and stares at the Captain::

Host XO_Knight says:
::feels an overwhelming sensation coming from Randi::  ~~~CNS:  Everything okay?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;smiles at the young woman::CNS: I thought you might like to wear this to the party, Lieutenant Junior Grade McIntyre.

FCO_Roznine says:
::takes a sip::

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: Commander.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am... I don't know what to say!

CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO/ OPS: Hello, Commander, Ensign.  Bartender said he could get a band.  ::Not realizing sarcasm when he heard it.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: May I pin it on?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  I would be honored Captain!

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Ah, I see.  ::grins::  Perhaps I will tell you sometime.

FCO_Roznine says:
::frowns:: XO: Suddenly I feel like smiling my face in two...

CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Oh, how lovely! A live band! ::looks around the lounge::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::takes the pip and pins it to the dress::CNS: There we go, perfect. ::pauses:: Randi, you look beautiful.

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  What's the matter?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you Ma’am, I am truly surprised.  It is not often I am at a loss for words.

OPS_Barnes says:
::Walks away from CSO/CTO, and takes a seat at a table nearest the windows::

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: I don't know... my wonky senses I suppose. I just feel extremely happy now.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Are we ready now?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~XO:  Sir!  I have just been promoted!  I don't know what to say!!!~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  I could just get the information myself.....but why the frown?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you Serena... you look lovely as well.

CSO_Woo says:
::notices OPS sitting far, far away... frowns:: CTO: I guess he doesn't want to be here...

Host XO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  I know.  Congratulations Lt.~~~

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Someone on the ship is bursting with happiness and pride. It surprised me that's all.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I am trying my best to call you by your first name, but you will have to give me time on this one.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~XO:  You knew!  And you didn't say anything!~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Why not?  Would he prefer a larger, uh, what's the word?  Shin Dig?  Yeah, Shin Dig in the Cargo bay?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Your chariot awaits my lady, hop in. Randi, I understand.

Host XO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  What...and spoil the surprise?~~~  ::grins to himself::

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Yes Dylan, Randi has been promoted to Lt.JG and she just found out.

OPS_Barnes says:
::gazes out the window, and at the stars scrolling by, and a serene smile crosses his face:: Self: Much nicer from here.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yes Ma’am ::taking her seat in the wheelchair::  But Serena, this isn't right, call an ensign and let him push me. ::really embarrassed::

FCO_Roznine says:
::notices the grin:: XO: Ah, that would explain it. ~~~CNS: Congratulations, Randi.~~~

CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Shin dig... ::smiles:: Uh, rather, I don't think he likes the... shin dig itself ::shrugs:: Bartender! Fetch me a glass of cranberry juice, please!

FCO_Roznine says:
::takes another sip of the scotch:: XO: This is very nice...

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Thanks Roz... did you now as well?  I think this is a conspiracy!~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  What's nice?  The scotch?

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Nope, its as much a surprise to me as it was to you... you just made me smile like a loon at the Commander.~~~ XO: Yes, that too...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::pats Randi on the shoulders::CNS: Hey, I'm perfectly capable of pushing a chair to the lounge. I'm not that feeble... yet. ::laughs and starts pushing::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: He seems to like the view, though.  Should let him know about the maintenance view hatches on Deck 5.  Best view of the Varda's Menel on the ship.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Certainly not Ma’am!  ::she stammers:: I didn't mean that at all!

OPS_Barnes says:
::motions to a waiter who is walking by:: Waiter: Would you please get me a glass of water?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION;  The Captain and Randi enter the lounge.

OPS_Barnes says:
<Waiter> OPS: Coming right up. 

Host XO_Knight says:
::reads Dylan’s feelings and grins::  FCO:  Well, it seems the Captain and Randi are on their way to the lounge.  We better get headed there as well.

OPS_Barnes says:
::stands at attention as the CO enters the lounge::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO/ CNS: Captain, Randi.  Good to see you back among the waking, Randi.

CSO_Woo says:
CTO: That might be nice - I feel he hasn't really connected to the crew yet, I suppose it takes time - tonight might help. 

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Thanks Tio.... how are you feeling?  ::reaching over to stroke his fur::

FCO_Roznine says:
::takes the last sip of the drink:: XO: Yes, that would be a good idea. ::kneels down next to Aurora:: Aurora: Bye for now... we'll find out sometime or another what he meant. ::strokes her behind the ears and gets to his feet again::

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Ready when you are.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
All: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to my little get together. Now I want you all to relax and enjoy yourselves. There is plenty of food and drink and maybe we can entice a few of the crew to give us a few musical selections. ::smiles::

CSO_Woo says:
::sees the CNS and the CO enter:: CO, CNS: Captain, Randi! How are you feeling?

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Head is fine, but the ego is still bruised.  That was embarrassing, running into a wall indeed.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: No need ma'am, the bartender said he can get a band.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Thank you Sir... and I hope you were not injured?

OPS_Barnes says:
::sits down, as the waiter slips behind him and leaves a glass with the Starfleet logo filled with water on the table::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The XO and FCO enter the lounge behind the Captain and Randi.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: What fun!

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Bartender> CTO: That was sarcasm, sir.  There is little chance of getting one on such short notice.  Thought you had grasped humor.

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Let's go.

CSO_Woo says:
CNS: ::giggles:: Naw, I'm good. You look wonderful today ::smiles::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Thank you Sir... You will have to tell me what happened over there when you have time.

Host XO_Knight says:
::gets the bartenders attention and motions for him to get him his drink::

OPS_Barnes says:
::takes a sip::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::turns to Ethan::XO: Well Ethan, I think this will do the crew a world of good don't you?

FCO_Roznine says:
::walks to the lounge with Ethan and smiles as he sees the crew in something else but their uniforms:: XO: Tio sure looks interesting in that outfit... I wonder if he can tell me where to get one for myself.

CSO_Woo says:
::looks back at the captain:: Self: Did she just call for the crew to provide music? CNS: Oh, it was simply the most intriguing thing over there... but another time ::smiles:: We're here to relax today :)

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Tio ::leaning over to whisper to him::  Has anyone taken care of Baby?

Host XO_Knight says:
::looks around::  CO:  I certainly do Captain.  On behalf of all of them, I'd like to say thank you.  ::smiles::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  And for me as well Captain.

Host XO_Knight says:
::smiles::  FCO:  You might want to ask him Dylan.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, Baby is fine.  Marie was there when I went to check.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: My pleasure Commander. Now let's get this party rolling.

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: XO: I will. ::leans down and plants a kiss on Randi's cheek:: CNS: Congratulations.

Host XO_Knight says:
::notices Eric and waves to get his attention::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: Ok, we need some music.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Thank you Tio, I was worried about her.  She has missed her Holodeck trips with you.

CSO_Woo says:
::sees the XO waving and smiles - moves over:: XO: What's up?

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Nice view, but if you want a better one, check the Jeffries Tubes on Deck Five, Section 01.  There's maintenance access hatches with a nearly unobstructed view of the stars there.

Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  Of course, right away.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::whispers::XO: Ethan, I have to see Roz show us some moves in that outfit.

Host XO_Knight says:
::laughs loudly at what the CO has just said::  CO:  Me too!

Host XO_Knight says:
CSO:  Hi Eric!  You enjoying yourself so far?

OPS_Barnes says:
::turns around in seat, somewhat startled:: CTO: Oh, uh... aye, Commander, I believe I might. ::smiles::

Host XO_Knight says:
::motions to the band to start playing::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I am just going to roll this chair over there out of the way.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I know, perhaps we can have her give chase through the Tubes.  Rumors out of 917 are that my Tube times are being challenged.  Can't have that happen.

FCO_Roznine says:
::looks around:: CO: Captain... I hope... oh, never mind, that sounds like my song. Care for a dance?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Now don't overdo Randi. You're still recovering remember.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  No way!  They couldn't even get close to yours!

CSO_Woo says:
XO: Oh, yeah! Totally! This is so what we all need

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yes Ma’am... I will just watch everyone.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: I'd love to Roz, but do you think those pants can take all that movement? ::giggles::

Host XO_Knight says:
CSO:  After what we've been through, I couldn't agree with you more.  ::smiles::

FCO_Roznine says:
::turns to Tio and Randi:: CTO/CNS: I heard it too... she serves on the Cherokee if I'm not mistaken.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The band begins to play as couples take the floor.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  CNS: That's what I said, but you know how rumors start.  I'm looking into it so I can challenge this new upstart.

FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CO: You have NO idea what I can do in these pants. Come. ::takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Well take Baby, she will give you a run for your money!

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::follows Roz to the dance floor still watching his pants for signs of problems::

CSO_Woo says:
XO: What a wonderful band! I don't believe I've ever heard them perform - nor even heard of them! ::smiles - notices the FCO's attire... and pants::

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Bartender> ::Adds "Band locator" to the tab.::

FCO_Roznine says:
::moves to the music, putting Serena through her paces too.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Tio, would you mind getting me some juice?

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Sure, any particular type?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: I love this song. :;sways to the beat::

OPS_Barnes says:
::takes another sip, as he turns around in his chair, watching the festivities::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  The bartender knows what I like... he sends it to my office all the time!  I think he has a special blend of some kind.

Host XO_Knight says:
::looks over at Eric and chuckles...knowing exactly what he is thinking::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Yeah, it was a big hit in the clubs back home. I actually watched the old movie it comes from.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Bartender: Another milk, room temp, and one of the Counselor's Juices.  And nice job on getting a band.  I thought you said it was impossible.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::leans closer and whispers::FCO: Do you do the dip? ::giggles softly::

CSO_Woo says:
::looks back at the XO as he hears a chuckle... then realizes that he's Betazoid... blushes intensely and smiles:: XO: Haha... right... ::sees OPS sitting by himself:: XO: Em, if you'll excuse me for a moment, I'm going to try and pull Chris, like, into the party ::smiles and walks towards OPS::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::looks around at her crew hoping that they are having a good time::

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: CO: Of course... my gran insisted that I learn to dance when I was young. ::twirls the Captain through some intricate moves ending with a dip::

OPS_Barnes says:
::notices CSO walking towards him:: CSO: Sir.

Host XO_Knight says:
CSO:  Of course Eric.  I think I have someone that might like to dance.  ::walks over toward Randi::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Ooooooo Roz.....::hangs on tightly::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  A strobe light come on, and a light fog fills the floor.

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Bartender> ::Hands over the drinks.::  CTO: I can do anything...for a price.  Need some 'Nip?  Got a batch in before we left 917, fresh frozen.

Host XO_Knight says:
::leans down and grabs one of Randi's hands::  CNS:  May I have this dance?

FCO_Roznine says:
::laughs as the Captain keeps up with him::

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: We're off duty, so no formalities - besides, you're always free to call me Eric :;smiles:: May I call you Chris?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  I would love to sir, but you might wind up carrying me again if my head doesn't act right!  ::taking his hand::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::is enjoying the freedom of no responsibilities for a short time::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The music slows down as the XO and CNS take the floor.

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  Not a problem Randi.  ::grabs her hand and walks her slowly to the dance floor::  Just remember to let me know if it gets too strenuous.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::glances over at Randi and Ethan and smiles::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  And did you bribe the band to slow the music down?

FCO_Roznine says:
::slows down with the music:: CO: That was invigorating.

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: ::giggles:: No, no, Eric. ::sits down:: Eric.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: It certainly was, thank you Roz, you are an excellent dancer.

Host XO_Knight says:
::looking innocently::  CNS:  Who, me?  Nah!

FCO_Roznine says:
::does a very elaborate flourishing bow:: CO: May I have this dance too?

CTO_Ayidee says:
Bartender: No need, I've got a source.  ::Turns with the drinks, setting Randi's on the table.  Grabs a sampling of the appetizers, starting with shrimp and chicken wings.::

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: If you wish, Eric.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes you Sir ::thumping him on his shoulder, then she lays her head against his chest::

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: CO: So are you... if you can keep up with me.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Of course Lt. I'm working up quite an appetite.

CSO_Woo says:
::places his glass on the table:: OPS: Are you alright, Chris? You seem a little depressed...

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  I'd have to say, this is much better than being in a cross-fire!

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CO: Then let's see what the catering staff came up with.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir, much nicer ::snuggling closer::

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: Forgive me, I'm being rude.... ::sighs:: I'm just not in a mood to party right now, after so many lives were lost on the Vimy Ridge

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  So, so you feel any different?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Oh so your throwing me over for some pizza huh? ::looks at him sternly then breaks into a laugh::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Different Sir?  How? ::puzzled at his question::

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: Oh... I see... It was a great loss, wasn't it... but we can't dwell it on forever, can we? They were Starfleet officers, and are aware of the risks of such missions...

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: I just can't help but think that, maybe if I'd been able to activate the transporters a second sooner, there would be 168 more people alive right now.

FCO_Roznine says:
::laughs:: CO: You're much better looking than pizza... although not much beat pizza and some beer while watching old movies.

FCO_Roznine says:
::glances over at Ethan and Randi::

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  Now that you're a Lt.JG.  And I must say, I'm very proud.

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: Oh, good heavens, Chris... you certainly can't blame yourself for the Vimy Ridge crew... that's foolish, and incorrect...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::hits Roz's arm::FCO: Why you old smooth talker you.

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles winningly:: CO: I try, I really do... but sometimes I wish I knew what to say.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  I haven't had time to think about that ::looking down at the pip the Captain pinned on her gown::  Proud of me?  I didn't do anything Sir but my duty.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Walks over and sits with CSO and OPS.::  CSO/ OPS: Gentlemen.

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: I agree, it does sound ridiculous.... but I just don't feel comfortable with this atmosphere so soon after the event. ::sighs and takes another sip::

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Commander.

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  A little modest I believe.  ::chuckles::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: You're doing just fine, now do me a favor and go and pay some attention to Randi will you?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Me Sir?  I don't have a modest bone in my body... ask anyone! ::grinning::

CSO_Woo says:
CTO: ::looks up:: Hello - my, that's a lovely frock you have on ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::pulls Roz over to Ethan and Randi:: XO/CNS: Mind if we cut in?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  No Ma’am... I believe this dance has ended.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Thank you.  Clothing is such a human concept, no offense, but if I have to wear something, this works.

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  Yeah, right!  ::laughs::

FCO_Roznine says:
::gets pulled along and smiles at Ethan and Randi::

Host XO_Knight says:
CO/FCO:  By all means!

CSO_Woo says:
CTO: ::in a half-mocking tone:: Oh, you are so right! Clothing is so inhibiting! ::winks at Chris::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::nudges Roz::

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CNS: May I have the honor?

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: If this atmosphere isn't comfortable, what would you prefer?  To dwell on failure, especially one beyond your control, is very unhealthy...and dangerous.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  If you don't mind, I think I need to sit down.  I guess I am not as well as I thought I was. ::hoping he understands::

Host XO_Knight says:
::motions the Captain to the floor::  CO:  Captain?

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: CNS: Sure... I'll walk back with you.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::smiles::XO: I'd love to Commander.

CSO_Woo says:
::pats Chris' shoulder:: OPS: Don't worry about it, Chris... it wasn't your fault... and it's over now.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Thanks... I have something I would like to tell you.

Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Dylan, have one of the medical technicians check on Randi.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS/FCO: Excuse us please?

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods to the Captain::

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO/CTO: Aye, sirs. But I really would like to get back to my station, as soon as courtesy allows. 

FCO_Roznine says:
::takes her elbow:: XO: Aye, sir. I'll see to it. ::walks with Randi:: CNS: Ok, I'm one big earlobe... spill it.

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::leaning on Roz's arm, she slowly walks back to her chair::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
<Waiter>:All: Dinner will be served in ten minutes.

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: ::smiles:: Sadly, no - if you try to leave, I will order you to remain and enjoy yourself. ::smiles innocently::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::takes Ethan's hand::XO: What's your pleasure?

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS:  What is so pressing?  Doing ones duty is admirable, but it is also important to relax, to regroup.  Plus, it is essential to get to know your shipmates, and this is the best way to do it.

OPS_Barnes says:
CSO: Wouldn't want to break orders, sir. ::smiles::

CSO_Woo says:
OPS: No, you wouldn't ::smiles::

Host XO_Knight says:
::hears a big band medley start up::  CO:  This sounds fine.
