Mission Summary
The rather-enjoyable dinner party continues, providing the crew with an excellent outlet for socializing – much needed socializing. It is also an opportunity for the crew to get to know the newer officers, as well. However, the senior officers are soon called up to the observation lounge, where the captain is to announce new orders that were just received from Starfleet Command.

USS Huron 10211.23 The Party Part 2
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
The crew is enjoying the Captains party in the lounge.  It seems this is what they all needed.  A good time, rest, and getting to know one another on a casual basis.

Host XO_Knight says:
::still dancing with the Captain as the song finishes::
FCO_Roznine says:
::sits next to Randi so she can tell him whatever she was going to::
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  What I wanted to tell you is private in a way Roz.
EO_Hansen says:
::sits quietly, just watching the goings-on::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Moving back towards the center of the room, wondering where the band came from.::
FCO_Roznine says:
CNS: I understand. It will go no further than me. ::he smiles reassuringly::
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  You remind me of someone very special, someone that means the world to me.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::is enjoying the dance and smiles warmly at Ethan::XO: That was lovely Ethan, thank you.
FCO_Roznine says:
::looks intrigued:: CNS: Really?
Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  You are most welcome Captain.  The pleasure was all mine.  Would you care for something to drink?
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  I couldn't figure out what it was until I saw the devil in your eyes and your outrageous behavior!  It is exactly what he would do.
FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: CNS: Why thanks... who is this guy?
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  He was the former counselor for the Huron.  His name is Varesh.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: I believe dinner is ready Ethan, so I'll wait.
CTO_Ayidee says:
EO: Good to see you could make it.  How are things down in Engineering?
Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  Well then, shall we have a seat at the table?
FCO_Roznine says:
::blinks:: CNS: You must be kidding me... the Commander? We were on the same ship before I transferred here! I never met him, but I heard stories from sickbay.
EO_Hansen says:
::shrugs a bit::  CTO:  Same as they always are, I suppose.
Host XO_Knight says:
::looks around at all the crew enjoying themselves in conversation::
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO: You did... I mean you do?  He is everything to me... and I just wanted you to know that you remind me of him.
FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CNS: I'll take that as the highest compliment then.
CTO_Ayidee says:
EO: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  ::Hopping up on a chair.::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Believe me it is.
EO_Hansen says:
CTO:  Neither.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The waiter comes in and announces dinner is ready to be served.
FCO_Roznine says:
::grins even bigger:: CNS: Well, you just made my day.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::heads for the table::All: Please take your seats.
FCO_Roznine says:
::hears the announcement and offers his arm:: CNS: Shall we?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::looks at the waiter::  FCO: Wow, dinner sounds good, mind wheeling me in that direction?
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Slips down and sits normal on the seat.::
FCO_Roznine says:
CNS: Of course. ::moves behind the wheelchair and pushes out into the dining area::
Host XO_Knight says:
::notices Randi and Dylan coming to the table and clears away a chair to accommodate Randi's wheelchair::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Thank you Sir.  This looks really good!
FCO_Roznine says:
::pushes the chair to the table, and sits next to Randi::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::takes her seat in the center of the table::All: We have a variety of your native foods available so please enjoy.
Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  You bet it does Randi.  And be sure to eat good.....we need you to keep up your strength.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Thank you Captain, I notice the Betazoid veggies, roasted!
FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CO: Please tell me you dredged up some obscure Iotian recipe that my Gran used to feed us?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Mind passing me that plate?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::motions to the waiter for some juice::
Host XO_Knight says:
::smiles::  CNS:  But of course!  ::passes her the plate::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::chuckles at Randi and Roz::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes the veggies and fills her plate::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Picks at the selection, avoiding the green stuff.::
FCO_Roznine says:
::looks at the food and reaches for the nearest plate::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CO: Ma'am? ::raising her glass::  Thank you for the party.
Host XO_Knight says:
::loads his plate up with veggies::
FCO_Roznine says:
::raises his glass:: CNS: I second that.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::raises her glass::CNS: Randi.
CSO_Woo says:
::takes a peek at the food and piles some on his plate::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::takes a sip of her favourite white wine::All: I do hope that you are all having a good time.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes a bite of the veggies and smiles::  CO:  These are wonderful... the cook needs a promotion as well!
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::she looks down at her new pip and blushes::
FCO_Roznine says:
::takes a bite of food and smiles over at Ethan, including the Captain and Randi::
Host XO_Knight says:
::sees Randi blush and gives her a smile and a wink::
EO_Hansen says:
::eats silently, really not having much to say::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: I'll pass that along to him Randi. ::smiles and looks down at the dishes before her and selects a few different varieties of food::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Hey Vic, why so quiet? ::grinning at her::
Host XO_Knight says:
::looks over at Dylan and smiles back::
CSO_Woo says:
::the EO sits across from him - he looks up and smiles at her:: EO: Wonderful dinner, isn't it?
EO_Hansen says:
CNS:  I don't really have a lot of input to the discussion.
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs a buttered roll, licking it like an ice cream cone.::
FCO_Roznine says:
::grins like a fool and looks at his plate again::
EO_Hansen says:
CSO:  It is, yes.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::places her fork down for a moment::XO: So have you finally gotten used to us yet Ethan?
FCO_Roznine says:
::glances up at Tio and starts chuckling:: CTO: That is the first time I see a roll being eaten like that.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Well, I could set myself up and let you take a poke at me Vic!
CTO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Rolls are for other species.  I want the butter...and the garlic doesn't hurt.
Host XO_Knight says:
::smiles from ear to ear::  CO:  Captain, I honestly have to say that yes I have gotten used to you all.
EO_Hansen says:
CNS:  Don't think I follow.
FCO_Roznine says:
CTO: Yeah, I just can't really eat garlic... I reek for weeks after.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Or we could go shopping again! ::laughing::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: Even with all our little quirks? ::smiles and picks up her fork again::
Host XO_Knight says:
::laughs::  CO:  Yes, even with all your little quirks!
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: If you really want the butter, scrape it off and give me the roll so it doesn't go to waste... Self: Anything so I don't have to see that again...
FCO_Roznine says:
::glances over at Ethan and Serena:: CO: I'm sure he has his fair share of quirks, Captain. ::smiles sweetly::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::giggles at the CSO and the CTO's conversation::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: By the way Ethan, I don't think I've asked you about your family.
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Oh, you think so huh?  ::chuckles::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Have I scared you out of shopping with me Vic? ::remembering their last experience::
FCO_Roznine says:
::looks all innocent:: XO: But of course... sir.
EO_Hansen says:
CNS:  I don't scare that easily.  Don't worry.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::giggles at Roz's comment but says nothing for the moment::
CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: I've had enough for now.  Time to try the chef's gravy, and see how it goes on K'tarian Fowl.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Good, we need to get together, since sickbay is insisting I have to stay there for a while.
CSO_Woo says:
CNS: Ah, speaking of which, how ARE you feeling, of late?
Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  My mother and father are doing well...thank you for asking.  May I ask how yours are doing?
EO_Hansen says:
CNS:  I'm around if you need me, Randi.  Just give me a call if you're bored.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::leans over and whispers to Vic::  EO: You think you could sneak Baby down for a visit?
FCO_Roznine says:
::takes another bite of food, keeping the air of innocence:: CNS: Boredom has to be eradicated. ::looks at Victoria:: EO: I think we can manage that. What do you say?
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Oh, yes, I think I will try some of the bird as well... ::stabs some meat with a serving fork::
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ FCO/ EO: Why sneak.  If you need it, I'll pull rank on them.
EO_Hansen says:
::perks a brow and just looks at them::  CNS/FCO:  I don't think I want the doctors pitched against me.
Host XO_Knight says:
::leans over and whispers to the Captain::  CO:  You've done a great job here.  I can sense that the crew is very pleased.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  All right Tio!  Maybe when all the staff are asleep?
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ FCO/ EO: Either that or threaten to re-administer the Phaser Tests to them.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: My mother is well thank you, working hard at being an ambassador on Earth, but I lost my father almost two years ago on Ynes.
FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: CTO/EO/CNS: I like that. We can also bring you some snacks and things, and have a picnic on the biobeds... ::grins::
Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  Oh yes, my apologies....I didn't mean to...
CSO_Woo says:
FCO/CTO/EO/CNS: ::frowns:: Oh, my, how unsanitary...
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO: Oh, that would be fun!  We might can play some cards... ::glancing slyly at the CO::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::smiles::CO: Thank you Ethan, I was hoping they could relax a bit before getting back to work.
FCO_Roznine says:
::eyes brighten at the mention of cards:: CNS: Poker by any chance?
EO_Hansen says:
::just lets them argue and talk between themselves::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Is there anything else?  ::grinning wickedly::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;sees that Ethan is embarassed::XO: I know Ethan, please don't apologize, it was a long time ago now.
CSO_Woo says:
::slices a bit of the bird and raises it to his mouth::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::finishes her plate, and is very full, but sees something that looks like chocolate down by the Captain::
CSO_Woo says:
EO: So! I bet Engineering is pretty exciting now, eh?
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Watches the Bartender out of the corner of his eye as he eats and talks.::
FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CNS: Not if the stories I heard from the Cherokee is true. One of my fellow Iotans serve on that ship.
EO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Exciting isn't exactly the word I would use.
Host XO_Knight says:
::looks over at what Randi is eyeing and grins at her::
CTO_Ayidee says:
FCO/ CNS: Poker isn't much of a game.  It's all luck.  What's the point?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Vic, you don't sound like yourself tonight, are you all right?  ::concerned about her friend::
FCO_Roznine says:
CTO: It’s about keeping a straight face, and bluffing your way through.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Are you ready for some of this? ::grabs the dessert tray and holds it out to Randi::
EO_Hansen says:
CNS:  I'm fine.  Why do you ask?
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Now... bridge is a real game that requires strategy... bridge, now there's a game...
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::reddens:: CO:  Yes Ma’am, if it is all right.
FCO_Roznine says:
::finishes the food on his plate and leans back in the chair::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Confused.::  FCO: Bluffing?  How is lying going to affect luck?
Host XO_Knight says:
::finishes up his plate and gets up to stretch his legs::  CO:  If you'll excuse me.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Of course Randi, please take as much as you like.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: Leaving us Commander?
FCO_Roznine says:
CTO: If you convince the others your hand is better, then you win. Simple as that.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Pass the dessert tray please?
FCO_Roznine says:
::takes the tray from Serena and places it in front of Randi::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::hands the tray to Roz::
Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  Not at all Captain.  I'm just going to walk over to the bar and stretch my legs.  I'm pretty full you know.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::eying a particularly large piece of chocolate cake::
FCO_Roznine says:
CNS: Of course.
CTO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Then why have rules if it's just a matter of being a better, uh, bluffer?
FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Sounds like a good idea. I need a refill. CNS: Can I get you something?
CSO_Woo says:
All: If there is cheesecake on that tray, NO ONE TOUCHES IT! ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
XO: I understand Ethan, but remember to come back for brandy later.
FCO_Roznine says:
CTO: Just in case the other person is better than you...
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::waits for the tray that Roz has in his hands::
Host XO_Knight says:
CO:  I will be here with bells on.  I'm just going to socialize a bit.  I still haven't met up with all the crew yet.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::nods to Ethan::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes the cutter and places the cake on her plate::
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  You coming?
CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Card games aren't much to my liking.  I prefer games of skill.  Darts, Competitive target shooting, racing, that sort of thing.
FCO_Roznine says:
::gets up and waits for Randi's reply:: CNS: More fruit juice?
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Ah, I see - have you ever played pool or billiards?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes a bite and tries to answer Roz at the same time, but just nods her head::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::turns back to her crew::EO: Well Victoria, tell me how things are going with you?
FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles as Randi nods around a piece of cake:: XO: Lead on.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  I love pool Sir... my dad taught me that game.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: A little at the academy.  The grip on the stick was a bit uncomfortable for me, though.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Can't hold the thing like a rifle and expect it to work, I guess.
Host XO_Knight says:
::approaches the bar and orders a scotch::
EO_Hansen says:
CO:  Um ... not too bad I suppose, ma'am.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::tries to imagine Tio with a pool cue in his paw::
CSO_Woo says:
CNS: Oh, really? Wonderful! We must play together some time ::smiles:: CTO: You know, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make it work ::smiles::
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  So Dylan, are you enjoying yourself?
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: How is the new chief working out in engineering?
FCO_Roznine says:
::stands next to Ethan:: Bartender: Make that two and fruit juice for the Counselor.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Did your claws get in the way?
FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Yup... the stray thoughts about whether or not my pants are going to betray me is very amusing.
EO_Hansen says:
::tries to find some way to phrase it and hesitates, trying to think::
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not as much as they did in...what was that?  Oh yes, Bowling.  That's an insanely dangerous sport for a Cait.
Host XO_Knight says:
::looks down at his pants::  FCO:  Well, they were tight enough before you ate.  I can only imagine how they must feel now!
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Bowling?  ::tries not to howl with laughter::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::looks over at the bar and smirks at the view::
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Oh, dear, I can imagine! ::giggles::
FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: XO: I ate very little... I know my limits in this outfit.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CSO: Yeah, my claws kept getting stuck in the hole, arcing the ball about 3 meters down the lane when they released.
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  We wouldn't want you to starve yourself Dylan....just so you can fit into a pair of pants!  ::chuckles::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::glances back to Victoria::EO: Ensign, is there a problem?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  My poor Tio... I think your friends did it on purpose!
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: I'm surprised the ball didn't rip 'em right off ::smiles::
EO_Hansen says:
CO:  Ah ... well ...
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Perhaps, then, 5-pin bowling is more your game
FCO_Roznine says:
::laughs:: XO: I won't be wearing these very soon. I usually eat enough to feed a small colony.
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Sorry I didn't get a chance to view an event like that!
CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: I know my limits.  No ball sports.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  A member of the crew that is drunk, bumps into the FCO knocking him to the floor, causing his TIGHT leather pants to rip in the rear seams.
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: ::smiles:: Fair enough, fair enough... Rock climbing for you, then? ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: I can see that you are hesitant about talking about your boss, so we'll let it go for now.
FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: XO: What? Me eating like a starving miner... ::falls over:: Argh!
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Actually it was the Academy Rifle team that took me bowling.  Got sick of playing catch up with me.
Host XO_Knight says:
::extends his hand down to Dylan to help him up::  FCO:  You okay?
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::hears a strange noise near the bar and turns to look::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I believe that Tio... no one could outdo you...::grinning:: except maybe me! ::giggles::
CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Rock climbing is good, although most of what I've done is on the Holodeck, in an exercise.
CSO_Woo says:
::hears something falling and leans over to see what is the matter::
FCO_Roznine says:
::hears something suspiciously like his pants betraying him:: XO: Uhm, I think I need to sit down here for a moment. And a site to site transport... unless you want me to give the crew a nice show...
Host XO_Knight says:
::as he pulls him up, he realizes what has happened to Dylan’s pants::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::hears a ripping sound and turn to look in Roz's direction::
EO_Hansen says:
::nods::  CO:  Thank you, ma'am.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: With a rifle, there are few who can.  Hand Phaser it's a fair competition, but rifle I own.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::stands quickly and walks over to the FCO:: FCO: Roz?
CSO_Woo says:
CNS: I think our pilot has had a little accident... ::giggles::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Is that a challenge Tio? ::raising her eyebrows::
FCO_Roznine says:
::sees the captain approach and quickly jumps to his feet and plants his back to the bar:: CO: Captain?
Host XO_Knight says:
::has to keep himself from chuckling::  FCO:  Dylan, you'll probably want to go change out of those.
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Looks over.::  Self: That's why I go loose fitting.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Yes indeed... I was wondering how long those pants would hold! ::snickering::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Having a little problem Lt?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The ensign is apologizing and knows he is in deep trouble.
FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Uhm... just a tiny one, Captain... I'll need a site-to-site transport to rectify it.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: What's that thing that always happens at get togethers like this?  Um, what's it called, the Loco Machine?  That line of people.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Oh no, we can't do that. I had the transporters taken off line to run a diagnostic. ::smiles wryly::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::looks puzzled at Tio's question::  CTO:  Huh?
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: I don't get it.
FCO_Roznine says:
::sighs theatrically:: CO: That had to happen now, huh?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Do you mean a conga line?
FCO_Roznine says:
::ponders dashing out the lounge and to the TL::
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CSO: The people get in a line and go to music.  Yeah, I think it's called that as well.  Aren't they supposed to be popular at parties?
CSO_Woo says:
CTO:... line dancing? Conga? ::shrugs at the CNS::
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  No time to be embarrassed Dylan, come on I'll walk behind you to the TL at least.
FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Any suggestions?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I think I saw one once at an affair, but ::shrugs shoulders::
FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: XO: Thanks... I think. CO: If you'll excuse me? My apologies for leaving for a while.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::yells over to the FCO:  FCO: Want to borrow my chair?
FCO_Roznine says:
::starts laughing:: CNS: Please Randi!
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Of course Roz, but hurry back. ::bursts out laughing::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::backs up her chair and rolls over to the FCO and gets up::  FCO:  Here ya go!
Host XO_Knight says:
FCO:  Come on.  ::pushes him toward the door::  You'll laugh at this later.
FCO_Roznine says:
::once he starts laughing he can't stop, and doesn't care about the ripped pants anymore:: CNS: Thanks, but I'll manage.
CSO_Woo says:
CNS: Remind me never to shop where he got those pants ::smiles::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Yes Sir! ::laughing::
CSO_Woo says:
CNS: Thank you, lieutenant ::smiles::
Host XO_Knight says:
::arrives at the TL and waits for the doors to open::  FCO:  You should be fine from here.  Just hurry back.
FCO_Roznine says:
::walks into the corridor, his laugher reaching hysterical proportions::
FCO_Roznine says:
::gets into the TL:: XO: Thanks... I'll be back just now.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes a seat in her chair again and rolls back to the table to finish her cake::
Host XO_Knight says:
::begins laughing hysterically as he watches Dylan enter the TL::
CSO_Woo says:
EO: Events like this are good for ship morale, don't you think? ::rips a piece of bread off with his mouth::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The Captain receives a comm from the bridge, asking her to come there.
FCO_Roznine says:
::leans against the back of the lift:: XO: Go back to the party. TL: Deck eight.
Host XO_Knight says:
::arrives back in the lounge::
EO_Hansen says:
::looks over::  CSO:  Sure, I suppose.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  How is his ego Sir? ::grinning at Roz's look::
Host XO_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Don't be too embarrassed Dylan.~~~
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::returns to the table and waits for things to settle down again after the excitement then receives a call from the bridge::*Bridge*: On my way.
Host XO_Knight says:
::chuckles::  CNS:  It's a little bruised, but he'll be okay.
FCO_Roznine says:
::exits the lift as it stops and walks down the corridor to his quarters:: ~~~XO: It will take more than this to embarrass me.~~~
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Isn't healing the ego your specialty?  You are the 'Squisher' now.
CSO_Woo says:
::smiles softly:: EO: It's all good... oh, would you like some more wine?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  It was just a matter of time, don't you agree Sir?
Host XO_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Good.  Now hurry back.~~~
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::stands again::All: Please continue with your party. I have to get to the bridge. ::heads for the door::
Host XO_Knight says:
::laughs more::  CNS:  I just can't believe it didn't happen sooner!
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That's why clothes should be free and loose.
FCO_Roznine says:
~~~XO: And miss the opportunity to let the crew talk about me?~~~ ::enters his quarters and heads for the bedroom::
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: Oh, but free and loose isn't EXCITING! ::grins::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Exactly Tio... and I don't squish brains!  ::laughing at her friend::
Host XO_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  I know that I have a picture etched in my mind.~~~
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::leaves the lounge and heads for the lift::TL: Bridge.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If the name fits, Counselor.  ::Winks.::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
ACTION:  The Captain exits the TL and OPS reports to her.
Host XO_Knight says:
::sees Tio and heads over toward him::
FCO_Roznine says:
::projects a grin:: ~~~XO: Good.~~~ ::rummages in his cupboard for the backup pair of leather pants, not as tight as the ripped ones::
Host OPS_Dodge says:
::Stands up from the CO seat:: All: CO On Deck!
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::reaches over and strokes her friend’s fur::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::enters the bridge::OPS: Report!
EO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Ah ... no thanks.
Host XO_Knight says:
::approaches Tio::  CTO:  Mind if I talk to you for a second?
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::feels slightly undressed to be on the bridge::
Host OPS_Dodge says:
CO: Ma'am. We have a Priority Message from Starfleet. we are to reverse Course and head toward the Planet Ry'leth, located near the Andor system
FCO_Roznine says:
::quickly changes into the new pants and heads back to the lounge::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Only if you bring him right back!
CSO_Woo says:
EO: Cool... ::pours some for himself:: So, how have you been keeping yourself busy lately?
Host XO_Knight says:
::smiles::  CNS:  Of course I will.
Host OPS_Dodge says:
::Blushes at the CO's appearance::
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Certainly, sir.  Here, or elsewhere?
EO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Just doing whatever needs to be done, really.
FCO_Roznine says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Deck seven.
CSO_Woo says:
EO: No, no, I didn't mean work ::smiles:: Pastimes, hobbies ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Very well, please inform the crew to return to duty as soon as they can.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to feel very tired, but doesn't want to tell anyone as she is having such a good time::
Host XO_Knight says:
CTO:  Here is fine.  Sorry, I didn't want to interrupt your conversation.
EO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Oh ... um ... I'm not sure.
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: No trouble at all, sir.  What can I do for you?
Host OPS_Dodge says:
CO: aye
FCO_Roznine says:
::enters the lounge and walks over to the table:: CNS: I'm back.
CSO_Woo says:
EO: ::lights up:: You know what? I've been sorta keeping a tally in my mind on an informal survey of sorts... but do you play any musical instruments by any chance?
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::grins impishly at him::  FCO:  So I see ::glancing up and down::
Host XO_Knight says:
CTO:  I understand you are very skilled in the tactical areas.  Just from reading your record and listening to Randi go on about you.  ::grins::
Host XO_Knight says:
::looks over at Dylan and grins::
CSO_Woo says:
FCO: A bit looser this time, I notice ::grins::
FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CNS: Yes, still leather, just not so tight.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Oh and have all the senior staff meet in the observation lounge as soon as they can get here.
EO_Hansen says:
::slightly surprised by the question::  CSO:  Um
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Aye sir, although it's more the security end I concentrate on.
FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CSO: Yeah... if that blockhead didn't knock me over it would have been fine. ::grins back at Ethan::
Host XO_Knight says:
CTO:  I was wondering if you'd consider the idea of helping me hone my own tactical skills.
Host OPS_Dodge says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am
Host OPS_Dodge says:
*ALL* All Senior Staff, Please report to the Observation Lounge in 15 minutes
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'd be happy to help.  What areas in particular did you mean?
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::heads for her chair to review the new orders::
CSO_Woo says:
::listens to the comm and stands up after wiping his mouth with his napkin::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::starts to say something then hears the announcement::  FCO:  Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that.
Host XO_Knight says:
CTO:  I haven't practiced for quite a while and would love the training.  Whatever areas you're confident in Tio.
FCO_Roznine says:
::hears the comm:: All: Seems like the party is over... CNS: Me neither. I wonder if we'll have time to change? Fifteen minutes should be enough, even if I have to take you back to sickbay too.
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz would you mind taking me?
CSO_Woo says:
EO: Perhaps we shall continue this discussion at a later point in time ::smiles::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::oh great, now I can't go to the briefing::
Host XO_Knight says:
::hears the COM::
EO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Perhaps.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: I'll be in my quarters changing, please inform me when the staff is assembled.
Host OPS_Dodge says:
CO: aye
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: To start with, I have my crews go through training daily, they refer to it as "the Gauntlet", but it's just a run through the ship's Jeffries tubes and some target practice.  It's open to all crew, but we can continue this later, I suppose.
FCO_Roznine says:
CNS: It will be my pleasure. ::moves behind the chair:: XO: I'm taking Randi back to sickbay, sir.
Host OPS_Dodge says:
CO: Shall I reverse course Ma'am?
CSO_Woo says:
EO: It's just that, well, I think it'd be pretty fun to set up an ensemble group or something ::smiles:: Randi can play a keyboard instrument, Cmdr. Knight can play trombone, I can do clarinet... I haven't asked anyone else, though
Host XO_Knight says:
CTO:  Yes, we will definitely continue this later.  I look forward to talking with you.  ::heads toward the doors::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir! Can I come to the meeting?
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::heads for the lift quickly and steps inside::OPS: Yes Mr. Dodge, you may do so.

Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  If the doctor says it is okay.
FCO_Roznine says:
::pushes the chair into the corridor::
Host OPS_Dodge says:
BFCO: Reverse Course, and set heading 161.8, Warp 5. Engage
Host XO_Knight says:
::looks over at the doctor and he receives a nod in the affirmative::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::no way, he will never let her come::
CSO_Woo says:
::hurries out of the lounge and jumps into the turbolift to return to his quarters::
Host XO_Knight says:
CNS:  You've got permission Randi.  Just take it easy.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:

~~~XO:  Thank you Sir!~~~
FCO_Roznine says:
::sees the Doc nod:: CNS: Looks like you're coming too. Your quarters? We have to hurry, I would like to change, and I think you should too.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::changes into her red shirt and pants and slips on her tunic and heads for the observation lounge padd in hand::

::slips into her uniform and goes back to her chair and rolls out into the corridor, waiting on Roz to arrive::
CSO_Woo says:
::exits the turbolift and makes way for the observation lounge... takes his usual seat at the table::
Host XO_Knight says:
*CO*:  Understood Captain.  I'm on my way.
Host OPS_Dodge says:
XO: Captain said she will explain it in the briefing sir
FCO_Roznine says:
::pulls on his regulation pants and boots, pulling the undershirt on. grabs jacket and pips and commbadge and dashes out into the corridor again::

Host OPS_Dodge says:
XO: aye sir

FCO_Roznine says:
::arrives at Randi's door so see her waiting, thrusting the stuff into her hands:: CNS: I can finish dressing in the lift::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Observation Lounge, sitting on the edge, as usual.::
CSO_Woo says:
CTO: I wonder what's going on...
Host XO_Knight says:
::enters the Observation Lounge::
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::stops to talk with a crewman about something, then continues to the turbolift again::
