Mission Summary
	The crew of the Huron relax in the lounge of Starbase 71, catching up with each other and generally enjoying the time that they have before they will be sent off with their next mission orders. A new CIV/Specialist arrives, a “strategic operations” officer, which piques the interest of the CO – why is he here? Meanwhile, the FCO and CTO socializes with the new OPS officer, and eventually with the new CIV, as the TO continues to entertain his ladyfriend. The CSO, on the other hand, slowly finds that she is losing herself, confined to a fantasy within her own mind...

Host CO_Woo says:
USS Huron - “Supply and Demand, Part II” - 10408.07
Host CO_Woo says:
The Huron is currently docked at Starbase. Most of the crew are congregating in the lounge, enjoying each other's company.

::quietly sips his drink, listening to the conversations around him::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::In Lounge, antenna towards the floor, moving about.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::watching her crew mates relax after a tedious mission::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Salutes again to the admiral and offers him a seat::
CIV_Tyler says:
::on the station, looking for his new CO::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Strolling down a corridor with Sara::
Host CO_Woo says:
::in the lounge, swirling his wine, as he smiles, listening to the others socializing:: Self: This is really good pinot noir...
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::looks at Icky and wonders why his antennae look so sad::
Host ADM_Knight says:
OPS:  Thank you Ensign.
CSO_Sky says:
::In the antique store, curled up in a corner with a book of very old fair tales from a civilization that no longer existed.  There was something poignant about that.::
Yeahright says:
TO:  So what next.... ::Pager goes off.::  Oooops the Admirals Chocolates and lobster are here... Wanna go and make a delivery?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Sure.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
ADM: Drink, sir?
CIV_Tyler says:
::walks into the lounge, with a packet of orders under his arm, looking about::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Walks to the replicator and orders himself another cup of frappuccino::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::can't help but smile::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Something wrong Lieutenant?
Yeahright says:
TO:  Actually maybe I'll just deliver that lobster.  The Admiral can wait for his chocolate...that counselor needs to calm down.  I bet she never wondered where that chocolate came from.
Host CO_Woo says:
ADM: So, how has it been on the station, flying that desk of yours, admiral? ::grins::
Host ADM_Knight says:
OPS:  I've got it.  ::motions to the bartender to bring him his usual::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Maybe afterwards we should go to the lounge.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Wrong?  Nope, everything's good.  Why do you ask?  ::Smiling.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Randi, would you like to go dancing later on? I have this urge to gyrate to loud music.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Nods and straightens his antennae, before returning to his seat::
Yeahright says:
TO:  Hmmm not a bad idea... A bit a dabo would go a long way huh... ::grins::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I don't know...she can get pretty suspicious about things.
Host CO_Woo says:
::smiles curtly:: FCO: Perhaps we should... bring Ens Zheng out of the lower decks, and have him rewire the sound system here.
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, I would love to, but I have a horrible headache.  I think I am going to find a room, and just rest.
Host ADM_Knight says:
FCO:  I certainly hope you wore loose clothing for that!  ::grins::
Yeahright says:
::Shrugs:: TO:  Let her... I'm a Cmdr with a healthy black market business...what is she going to do to me?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self: It certainly isn't my place to enter this conversation...but why would the admiral join my table?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Oh just the way your antennae were pointed. I really don't know that much about Andorians.
CNS-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Sir, may I be excused.  I am not feeling well.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Sara: Right, right...
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::grins at the CO:: CO: As long as its not Madonna.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I don't know...arrest you.
CIV_Tyler says:
::walks up to the CO, waiting for a chance to interrupt::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
ADM: Is there anything I can do for you sir...::Looks a little confused at the group that walked in with the admiral::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::gives Randi a concerned look:: CNS: OK.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Laughs.::  EO: Sorry, it has nothing to do with emotion.  Just the noise in here's a bit much if I point them up too far.
Yeahright says:
::Laughs:: TO:  Arrest me!  Everything is above board and the Admiral gets a cut.
CSO_Sky says:
::Her focus on the book, with care she gently turns the page.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::frowns, and depresses his antennae::
Host CO_Woo says:
::notices another officer enter, who seems familiar somehow - perhaps he's seen his face somewhere on a personnel report somewhere... he takes a sip, and notices that the CIV is now standing next to them:: CIV: Can I help you, ensign?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::smiles::CTO: Oh I get it now.
CNS-McIntyre says:
ADM:  Thank you Sir.  I will see all of you later.  ::sits down her drink and turns to leave the lounge::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::gives the Admiral a sly smile:: ADM: Now would I do that, sir? And deprive myself of an audience? Besides, I was hoping you'd join in.
Host ADM_Knight says:
OPS:  Yes, you can relax a bit Ensign.  I can sense quite a bit of anxiety coming from you.  ::smiles::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I'm sure there is some way she can undermine your market.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Trying to relax makes him stiffen::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: She is the persistent type...in my opinion.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Stands as the CNS leaves the lounge::
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: Sir, yes sir. Ensign Tyler, reporting as ordered sir. ::hands Captain Woo the orders from SF Intel::
Host CO_Woo says:
OPS: Why don't you enjoy a drink yourself, ensign? It will calm you down. ::winks:: We are, after all, off-duty at the moment.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Excuse me a moment Icky. I think I'd better tell the Admiral about his aide. ::chuckles::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks up at the CIV::
Yeahright says:
TO:  Maybe...but then again she can try...if she endangers this station because of it then she may find herself being arrested.  My supply channels cannot be cut off.  Where do you think I get those hard to get pieces that keep ships in the air etc.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks up at the CIV, ears perking a bit at the Intel bit::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
ADM: The concept of being off duty is a little unfamiliar to me...with all due respect sir.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Of course, would you like me to get you something to drink?  Or eat?  I really hope they have some sausage here.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::leaves out the back way and proceeds to the sickbay::
Host ADM_Knight says:
OPS:  What are you drinking Ensign?  Perhaps you need something a bit stronger.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
ADM: But I will endeavor to follow your orde...suggestion
CSO_Sky says:
::Coming to the end of the story, she feels both saddened and awed.  Leaning back against the cold wall, she looks out and over the dim shop, the book held loosely on her lap.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Looks at his cup::ADM: A frappuccino sir.  But perhaps you are right.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::Glances at Teval's mug:: ADM: He's so wired on that caffeine.
Yeahright says:
::Sighs:: TO:  Enough of her....lets make our deliveries.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Mutters::Self: There certainly isn't enough caffeine in this anymore
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Sure, anything will do. I'll be right back........I hope. ::smiles and heads over to the Admiral::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CO: May I ask you a question, sir?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: If you say so. ::follows Yeahright::
Host CO_Woo says:
::takes the padds from the CIV, and quickly glances through it:: CIV: Well, I see everything is in order here, ensign. Welcome to the Huron. ::smiles, and gestures with his hands:: This is Cmdr. Roznine... Adm. Knight. As you can see, we will be remaining at the starbase for a little while, so please, enjoy the time we have here.
Yeahright says:
::Sees one of her assistants before her with a hover cart of boxes.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
ADM: Excuse me sir, may I have a moment?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Nods to the CIV as he approaches the table::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles at Tyler:: CIV: Welcome.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Bartender: You have any, uh, real food?  Like Terran sausages?
CIV_Tyler says:
::waits patiently for the CO to review his transfer orders, before continuing:: CO: Thank you Sir. ::hands the CO another set of orders:: CO: Also coming aboard will be Petty Officer Sarah Johnson, my personal assistant.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::stands up::  EO:  Holly!  Of course you may.  ::smiles::
Yeahright says:
Boston:  Right on time old man... ::Grins::
Host CO_Woo says:
::looks over at the OPS for a second:: OPS: Yes, of course, ensign - ::he quickly glances over towards the CIV again:: CIV: Your personal assistant? ::takes the padd::
Yeahright says:
<Boston> Yeahright:  Aye Sir... I've found the Admiral also he is in the Lounge.  Which is perfect since he wanted the lobster for something anyway.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::nods to the new Civilian::CIV: Holly Sparks, we can talk later. ::smiles::
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: Yes sir. She is helping me write reports and the like.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Bartender> CTO: Yeah, we can whip some up.  Breakfast or dinner types?
CIV_Tyler says:
::nods to the EO:: EO: Good to meet you Lieutenant.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CO: You are a veteran...ALL:  You are all veterans of deep space missions.  What is it like?  How many worlds...what does it feel traveling so much?
Yeahright says:
::Looks over the containers.:: TO:  Want anything before we deliver?
CNS-McIntyre says:
::walks into sickbay and speaks to the nearest doctor::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
EO: Holly, please tell me you'll come dancing with me later. No-one else wants to. ::almost pouts::
Host CO_Woo says:
::raises an eyebrow and looks to the ADM:: ADM: I wish I had a personal assistant. ::grins:: CIV: Very well, extend my greetings to her, please. Would you like to join us?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: No...I'm good.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::moves a few steps away::ADM: Sorry to bother you sir, but have you talked to your aide in the last little while?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Whispers to the CTO::CTO: I'm sorry to say, the concept of real food is not known here, but the replicators do suffice.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::grins at Eric:: CO: Captain, you have a ship full of them. Why complain?
CSO_Sky says:
::Letting the silence sink into her, the restlessness within her refuses to settle.  With a shake of her head, she picks up the book and begins to turn it to another story when something slips out of it onto her lap.::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Bartender: Oh, breakfast.  And a glass of bripberry juice and, um, what is that stuff again?  Oh Orange juice.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::speaks in a quiet tone::  EO:  No, is there something wrong?
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: I would love to Captain, thank you. ::takes a seat with the group::
Yeahright says:
::Throws her arm around him:: TO:  Well lets go and get a drink then.  ::Grins as the hover cart follows behind left Boston in the dust.::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Yeah, but sometimes you just want the fresh stuff, you know, with those imperfections and surprises thrown in for "flavor".
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Puts his arm around her:: Sara: Alright...but who's buying?
Yeahright says:
TO:  Isn't it your turn? ::Winks::
Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: Oh, come now, I don't like being demanding anyways. ::smiles:: Bartender: Over here! CIV: Please, have something to drink.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::starts to giggle::ADM: I hope not sir, but when I dropped off Cologne at your quarters, your aide was a bit startled when he discovered that Cologne was not a kitten.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::takes another sip of his scotch and chuckles:: CO: Never demanding... but always be in demand. That's the secret.
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Dylan, please order me another scotch.~~~
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Hmm...Let me recollect...Yeah, it is..::grins::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CTO: It's not so bad.  I grew up on Starfleet rations during a famine back at home.
Yeahright says:
::Chuckles::  TO:  Well then...I guess it's the good stuff today... ::Nears the Lounge::
CIV_Tyler says:
::orders a drink, and listens to the various conversations, making mental notes in his head::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: It will be waiting, Ethan.~~~ ::motions to the bartender to bring another scotch to the table::
Host ADM_Knight says:
EO:  That's odd.....I'm sure I told him.  ::shrugs::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Thinks for a bit and realizes that the CTO is around his age:: CTO: You weren't caught in that famine were you?
Host CO_Woo says:
::nearly chokes on his drink:: FCO: Good, good. ::grins:: OPS: I LOVE Starfleet rations, myself. ::takes another sip:: ADM: Any interesting things happen on the Base while we were away, admiral?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Of course, you always want that when I'm buying. ::Says sarcastically::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks over and nods at Dylan::  EO:  So Holly, how about giving an old friend a hug, hmmmm.  ::smiles::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Takes a long sip of frappuccino and shudders::
Yeahright says:
TO:  And you never buy that.  I wonder why that is?  ::Jokes with him.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::enjoys Eric's amusement and takes a moment to study the new Ensign.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
ADM: Well the last time I saw him, he was standing on top of a chair with this look of sheer terror on his face.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods to the doctor as he injects her with a slight pain medication, then tells her it is probably the last concussion she had sustained::
Host CO_Woo says:
::leans over to the CIV:: CIV: At your earliest convenience... once we get back onto the Huron, I'd like to see you in my ready room, ensign. ::smiles and takes another sip::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::laughs::  EO:  I hope you got a picture of that!
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CO: You do, sir?  That's fascinating.  Most people I've met find it inconceivably horrible..
CSO_Sky says:
::Carefully putting the book aside, she picks up what appears to be a medallion.  Slowly she turns it over in her hands.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
ADM: Old friend sir? Oh you mean you?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Don't get me wrong, Replicators do some things, even most things well.  ::Laughs.::  To be honest, I'm just upset that I missed "breakfast" this morning.  ::Turns serious.::  No, sorry, I was off world at the time.  Apprenticing on  a Tellerite freighter.
CIV_Tyler says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Very well, Captain, I will make sure to come see you.
Yeahright says:
::Enters the lounge, hover cart behind her.:: ADM:  OH Admiral!  ::Waves over to the Admiral.::
CIV_Tyler says:
::feels people's eyes on him, studying him, appraising him...::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks up and waves his hand slightly at Yeahright::  EO:  Well...forget about the "old" part.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I think you know very well why...or do I have to tell you again. ::Smiles::
Yeahright says:
TO: Re-educate me Demi.  ::Makes her way to the Admiral.::
CIV_Tyler says:
::takes a look around the room before returning his attention to the group::
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: Excellent, excellent. OPS: I'll settle for rations.... or real food. ::grins::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Pauses a bit:: CTO: Oh..::beat:: I see, well you were quite fortunate.  Yes.  I guess replicators don't do many food items justice.  But all the same, I'm glad I have one in my quarters.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::sees Yeahright heading their way::ADM: Hugs later I think sir. I think you're being paged, but I will hold you to one. ::smiles::
CNS-McIntyre says:
*Adm*:  Sir, the doctor says the headache is probably from the last concussion.  I am going back to my quarters to rest.  Randi out.
CSO_Sky says:
::With a light finger she runs it over the unfamiliar design.  The words to worn for her to read, but she was fairly certain it was the same language as that used in the book.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CIV: Welcome again. Please call me Roz when we're not on duty. The Admiral insists on calling me Dylan, so that is just as good. Tell me, were you at the San Fransisco campus or in Paris?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Noticing that the CO expected a response, but not knowing quite what to say...::CO: Yessir..
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Hope you feel better Randi.~~~
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Yes, as am I to be honest.  Tough carrying enough consumables for even a short mission without them.
Yeahright says:
Adm:  Ahhh there you are Sir... I've got your order if you'd be so kind to sign for it...  Why did you want it delivered here though?
CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~Adm: Thank you Sir... all I need is some rest.~~~
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Nothing much just the that last time I had that stuff I found myself bordering the Romulan Borders...and I think it you who offered it.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::excuses herself and walks back over to Icky:: CTO: Well my duty is done.....sort of. ::giggles::
CIV_Tyler says:
FCO: I attended the Academy at the San Francisco campus before I went to SF Intel for my strategic operations training, Roz.. How about you?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Looks down:: CTO: It would appear that my caffeine content has been diminished.  ALL: If you'll excuse me for a moment, sirs...::Stands up and walks over to the replicator::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks around and sees the other members and a new guy::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO/ OPS: Excellent, I'd like to introduce...er, what was your name again?
Yeahright says:
TO:  But you had a good time that day.. I can't believe you are still holding a grudge about that.  ::Grins::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::signs::  Yeahright:  As always, you're wonderful!
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::grins:: CIV: Paris of course. Where else do the best pilots get trained?
CIV_Tyler says:
FCO: By the way, you can call me Alex. ::smiles::
Yeahright says:
::Grins:: Adm:  As long as I get a taste of that lobster Sir.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Returns with a full cup of sextal espresso::CTO: I'm Ensign Teval, sir.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Me. Holding a grudge.. Never... ::Grins::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Sausages are cooking.  Orange juice good for the drink?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Something I said? ::watches Teval walk away::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CIV: Thanks, Alex. Too bad Randi isn't feeling to well.
Yeahright says:
::Grins:: TO:  Well then Scotch it will be.  ::Sniffs the air::  Ahhh Cook is making sausages!  Let's eat too.
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng>::impishly steps into the lounge, and takes a seat in the corner::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Oh, sorry, our new Operations manager, my apologies.  Lieutenant Ec'Thel'Ion, ship's Chief Tactical officer.  A pleasure and an honor to meet you.
CSO_Sky says:
::Pocketing the coin, she stands up then leans down to pick up the book, dreading what it might cost, but desiring to keep the coin.::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Extends hand.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::gets a strange feeling::  EO:  Do you know where Sierra is?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::smiles::CTO: Orange juice is fine.
Host CO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Is everything alright, commander?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::motions to the bartender to bring him another scotch:: ADM: Ethan, your scotch is here.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: And I bet you want me to pay for that too?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Bows his head and takes his hand::CTO: No...the honour is mine, sir.
Host ADM_Knight says:
FCO:  Thank you Dylan.  ::smiles::
Yeahright says:
::Heads off to the bar leaving the Admiral to push his own hover cart.::  TO:  Naaaa, bartender owes me one.  It's good to have friends Demi.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Bartender>  ::Delivers the food and drink,  then slides down the bar.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
@*CO*:  Sir I am on my way back to my quarters.  I have a slight headache is all.  I am going to rest for the evening.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Looks at the CTO's cup::CTO: What is it you're drinking?
Host CO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Alright, commander. I hope you feel better. If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask. Good night.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Sits next to Sara:: Sara: It must certainly is.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: This is Lieutenant Sparks, our best Engineer.
CIV_Tyler says:
FCO: Yes, it is a shame, I was hoping to meet all of the crew tonight.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
OPS: Holly Sparks, I don't believe I've spoken to you yet. ::extends her hand::
Yeahright says:
::Looks at the blue man beside her.:: CTO:  Hello Handsome.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Are you busy for dinner yet? It will be nice to catch up on the past few months.~~~
CNS-McIntyre says:
::taps her com badge and ends the conversation with the captain::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Bows his head at the Lieutenant:: EO: A pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
Host ADM_Knight says:
*CSO*:  Sierra, this is Admiral Knight....is everything okay?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
EO: Operations officer Ensign Teval.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
EO: At your service.
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Well, I do have to eat.~~~
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::grins:: CIV: Don't worry. Randi will give you your psych eval before we leave local space, I'm pretty sure of that.
Host CO_Woo says:
::stands up with his glass:: ADM: It seems like forever since we were back here at the Base... even though it's only been, what, a week or two I suppose? ::smiles, as he pauses for a second as the admiral tries to contact the CSO:: Self: Hmm... that's right, where is she?
CSO_Sky says:
::Taking the book up to the counter she asks the equally antique proprietor his cost.  They have known each other for many years.  He quotes her the flat rate.  With a nod she agrees and touches her print to a padd.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
OPS: The same here Ensign. ::pulls her hand back since it's not going to get shaken::
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Well, even a week is too long.  ::chuckles::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Bripberry juice.  A bit sweet, but loaded with nutrients, from Tellar, I think.  Yeahright: Hello, do we know each other?
CSO_Sky says:
::Her mind far away, she does not hear the admirals call.  She waits for the old man to carefully wrap the book up.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: That is a requirement yes. 19:00?~~~
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  1900 hours is fine Dylan.~~~
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Notices the hand retracted from the EO and turns a little pink:: EO: Standard protocol to senior officers....::As if it was some sort of apology::
Host ADM_Knight says:
*CSO*:  Sierra?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CTO: Ah.  A survivor's drink.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Looks up, a little glowering, at the supply clerk::
Host CO_Woo says:
ADM: Perhaps. Anything interesting happen on the base while we were gone?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: That would be my boss.
Yeahright says:
CTO:  NOpe... I'm just here with my friend Demi... Demi this is....  Oooops I guess you already know him.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Hello.
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Not a darn thing!  ::grins::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: More like a competitors, I tend to get involved in a lot of physical contests, started ages ago on the freighter.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::smiles::OPS: No worries. You get used to things being different around here.
CSO_Sky says:
::As he hands her to book, she leaves the shop.  Pausing as a familiar voice intrudes on her thoughts.  She looks around, and seeing no one, continues on.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
EO: I'll try my best to adapt.  Frankly, it has been more difficult than I anticipated....
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::hits Icky's arm::OPS: Indeed, he is all muscles.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Lieutenant, good to see you're enjoying yourself.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: ADM: Please don't say you're bored here, Ethan.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CTO: Tests of strength?  What sort of contests?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Oh look, Sara, It's our Operations friend.
Yeahright says:
EO:  Did you say muscles...  Is he single?
Host ADM_Knight says:
FCO:  Me? Bored?  Never! ::chuckles::
Yeahright says:
TO:  Ahhhh and I see he found his clothes... that is so good.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Tries his best not to grin at the EO/CTO::
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CSO:  Sierra, is everything okay?~~~
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::winks at Yeahright:: Yeahright: He is but I'm not sure he's your type. ::whispers:: He's so blue.
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> ::slowly peels off the skin on his hands that are coming off from his work in waste management... as he grimaces at the TO::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::reaches her quarters and enters, petting Baby on the way to her bedroom.  She drops down on the bed and is almost instantly asleep::
CSO_Sky says:
::Pausing at the entrance to the stations arboretum, she frowns, finding it difficult to focus her thoughts.::  ~~~~Adm:  Am I all right?  Yes, I am fine.~~~~
Yeahright says:
EO:  Nothing wrong with Blue... They say once you go blue you never go back again... ::Winks::  Is that a true statement missy?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Blinks at Yeahright::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CIV: Strategic OPS? Sounds interesting... didn't know there was a course like that. I was more enamored with the shuttles and starships.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shrugs.::  OPS: When I was apprenticed to the Tellarites, they didn't have much in the way of entertainment on board.  Wrestling was the chief one, combined with my natural build, it turned into a joy.  Hand to hand combat is actually my specialty...well, that and comparative literature.
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CSO:  I've sensed something from you and have tried comming you.  Something just doesn't seem right with you.~~~
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
CTO: Comparative literature!  Now I'm not a big fighter...but I am quite knowledgeable of our cultural writing.  Have you studied Andorian poetry?
CSO_Sky says:
~~~~Adm:  I am...~~~~  ::Looks around her surroundings and continues into the garden without finishing her thought.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::looks at Yeahright curiously::Yeahright: I really haven't noticed.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Yeahright: I've been blue for ages, and never heard that before.  Rather presumptive statement I'd say.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Promptly ignores Yeahright::
Yeahright says:
CTO:  Are you saying it's not true?  The prowess of the Andorian people is not true?  ::Laughs::
Host CO_Woo says:
::finishes his glass, and places it back on the table; he leans in closer so that only the CIV can hear:: CIV: Actually... why don't we go discuss your orders right now? ::stares at the padd, then back at the CIV - he is eager to clarify the padd as soon as possible::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::mutters dangerously.  Antennae are depressed::
CIV_Tyler says:
FCO: Yes, it's only offered to a select few people in the tactical training line at the Academy though.  And yes, it is quite interesting..
Host ADM_Knight says:
::doesn't seem convinced:: ~~~CSO:  Well, if you are sure everything is okay........you do know where I am if you need me.~~~
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::smiles at Icky::CTO: I like blue......a lot.
Yeahright says:
::Looks thoughtfully:: EO:  Missy I think you have noticed.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Aye, I have.  I find the easiest way to understand a culture is to read what they find important, desirable.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Self: This is going to get interesting.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Thanks, but it's not the color that makes us, any of us, what we are.
CIV_Tyler says:
::leaning back in to the CO:: CO: Whatever you wish Captain.. ::to the rest of the group:: ALL: Excuse me for a moment, please. ::stands, and heads for the door::
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> ::he pulls out a dermal regenerator and starts running it across his damaged hands::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::Sees Eric wanting to talk to Alex and shifts his attention elsewhere:: CIV: I'm sure you have stories to tell of that. I'll chat to you later.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
Yeahright: I don't mean to be rude, but aren't you due to deliver something to someone, somewhere else?
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Captain, is there a problem?
Yeahright says:
EO: Not for several days... ::giggles:: Hit a nerve didn't I...  We are both ladies here...let's gossip.
CSO_Sky says:
::In the back of her mind, she acknowledges the admiral is talking with her, but consciously, she hears nothing.  Finding a place off the normal path, and under a weeping willow, she takes a seat.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Beams and takes out his padd:: CTO: I've been reading up the works of Sartok and Ran, from Fesoan.  ::Begins to recite a poem in Andorian:: Beautiful works..
CIV_Tyler says:
FCO: Aye, we will talk later. Good meeting you though.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Watches the conversation intensify, waiting for the moment::
Host CO_Woo says:
::stands up and smiles at everyone:: All: Excuse me, everyone. ADM: There is no problem, admiral. But if you will excuse me, I need to speak with Ens. Tyler in private for a moment. Admiral... Cmdrs... Holly... Teval.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::stands up and salutes the CO::CO: Sir.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
Yeahright: We may be ladies, but I don't think that we need gossip. ::hears Captain Woo and looks up::
CIV_Tyler says:
::effecting a military posture, follows the Captain out of the room::
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Are you sure Eric?  Is there something I need to know about?
Yeahright says:
EO:  Such as... Did you know the Admiral's Yeoman is in cahoots with the Ferengi merchant on deck 22.  They have been having a torrid affair for about 2 months.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Aye, they are.  ::Keeps an eye on Holly and Yeahright.::  I prefer the novels of a world myself, our own included.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::raises an eyebrow at Yeahright::
Yeahright says:
EO: Information is a profitable business you know...for the right price of course.  ::Grins::
Host CO_Woo says:
::leans in closer:: ADM: I simply need to speak with our new strategic operations officer about his orders. Stay and enjoy everyone's company, admiral... just a clarification I require. ::smiles::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Blinks, returns to his seat and flips a few more pages of Andorian on his padd before giving it to CTO: Sartok wrote a magnificent work on the rise of our people in space.   You can borrow the work if you like.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
Yeahright: No I didn't and I don't think that you have your facts straight. I believe that the cahooting is your particular talent.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::whispers back::  CO:  Captain, if there is a problem with his orders, I think I should know about it.  I'm the one who approved his transfer.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I must tell you...I really don't think the Huron crew are those kinds of business people.
CSO_Sky says:
::With the book on her lap, she takes out the medallion and slowly examines it.  Then opening the book, she begins to search for something to match it.::
Yeahright says:
EO: And what would you know about cahooting missy.  ::laughs::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Leans towards the CTO:: CTO: This ...Yeahright.  She is most annoying.  ::Antennae lower dangerously::
Yeahright says:
EO:  You don't even see the blue in front of you... ::Rubs Icky's arm::  A might fine specimen too.
CIV_Tyler says:
::waits patiently at the door to the lounge::
Host CO_Woo says:
::sighs:: ADM: Yes, I understand that, sir. As I said, there is no problem with his orders.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::looks at Yeahright with a serious look on her face::Yeahright: What are you talking about?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Perhaps I will.  Maybe find a hard copy.  EO: Would you like to take a walk to the merchants area with me?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I think it's time you time you switch the subject.
Yeahright says:
EO:  You like this man.
Yeahright says:
TO:  Why Demi, she just needs a map to what she wants... besides I'm giving it away free.  You keep telling me I should do more charity work.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Sighs and gets up:: CTO/EO: Well, I must be off.  I'm heading to the gym for my routine.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Ha! You doing charity work is like a Ferengi giving away money.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
ADM:  Sir, permission to leave the table?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Yeahright: We know how to get what we want.  OPS: OK, nice meeting you, and see you aboard.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::looks at Icky and then at the woman:: Yeahright: Lieutenant Ec`Thel`lon is a friend of mine so of course I like him.
Yeahright says:
::laughs and slaps Demi on the back::
CSO_Sky says:
::Coming upon the page she was searching for, she leans back against the tree and is soon lost mentally in the story.::
Yeahright says:
EO: Uh huh...;;looks at her face::  Ooooo you two hold a secret! ::Rubs hands together::
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> ::he stands up, and walks over to the TO::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self:  I depress myself too easily.  Perhaps some physical work out can get rid of all this tension..
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Salutes everyone at the table and heads out of the lounge::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Don't try to get anything out...You'll just cause trouble.
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Well Eric, if you must go.......just be quick about it.  ::smiles::
Yeahright says:
TO:  How so... can't you see it... they got the hots for each other.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Once out of the lounge, makes his way to the starbase gym.::
Host CO_Woo says:
::grins:: ADM: Admiral. ::steps away from the table, and heads out of the lounge:: CIV: Please follow, ensign.
CIV_Tyler says:
::sighs, still waiting at the lounge door, thinking to self 'As if I don't have anything more important to do'::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Come on, let's take a walk, shall we?
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: Aye sir.. ::follows him out of the lounge::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
Yeahright: Will you please go and find someone else to chat with?  CTO: Be happy to. ::gets up::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: You never were good at getting people together...and I advise you stop.
Host CO_Woo says:
::he leads them down the corridor a couple metres, before he comes across the empty rooms and opens one of them; a typical office-space:: CIV: Please, have a seat, ensign. ::he walks behind the desk and sits down::
Yeahright says:
TO:  Betcha they hold hands.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::After changing out of his uniform, Teval picks a sizable punching bag and begins to viciously attack it::
CIV_Tyler says:
::takes a seat::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self: Useless talk.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: I think you had to much to drink.
Yeahright says:
TO:  Me never!  There is never too much to drink.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::shakes her head as she leaves the table::CTO: That woman just never stops does she?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::Notices Zheng:: Zheng: Greetings, how is work?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self:  We ought to be out there by now..::Throws a strong spin kick to the side of the bag::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self: Not...taking it ....::uppercuts the bag:: ...so easily.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::doesn't feel anything coming from Sierra anymore and hopes that everything is okay::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Yeahright: Have a nice afternoon.  All: See you in a while.  ::Turns with Holly and leaves.::  EO: No, doesn't seem like she does.  I hope I'm not being too forward moving towards getting us out of there.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::glances at Ethan:: ADM: Everything alright?
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: I actually had an opportunity to... look over a brief description of yourself, prior to your arrival... tell me... why are you here, ensign?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Punching bag: ARRGH!! ::Slams himself into the bag, before collapsing beneath it::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Glances around at the people staring at him::
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: Sir, I believe it's all clear in my orders, is it not? ::tries to avoid telling him it's top-secret::
CSO_Sky says:
::Slowly the book slips from her hands onto her lap as her eyes close, the medallion tightly clasped in her hand.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: I'm just glad you said something before I really got angry and....said something not in the Starfleet manner. ::smiles::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Sighs and stands up::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: So where shall we go?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Good, remind me to thank Ensign Teval for the "excuse" to leave.  ::Laughs.::  Already have a copy of the book he mentioned, but who would know that?
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: Oh, it's all very interesting in your orders. You're here in the capacity of a strategic operations officer, you report back to Starfleet Intelligence, you are to... assist the Huron in matters of strategy and combat. ::stares at the CIV, and smiles:: CIV: You know, it's not every day that any starship is assigned such an officer... <cont>
Host ADM_Knight says:
::walks back to the table and grabs his drink::
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: Such skills... could be quite useful on all ships. Every ship should have one.
Yeahright says:
::Shoots back another scotch.::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: So...What should we do now?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self: Okay.  Computer: Replace punching bag with a Klingon combatant.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
ADM: Is everything alright... you seem a bit concerned.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I need something to brighten my quarters, just have no idea what would work.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Readies to combat stance as a holographic Klingon appears::
CIV_Tyler says:
::fidgets a little, knowing his real directives from Intel are on his own PADD:: CO: Yes Sir.. so your question is?
Yeahright says:
TO:  Listen Demi, I need to go and lie down... Will you please excuse me?
Host ADM_Knight says:
::hears Dylan::  FCO:  Huh, oh, yes everything is fine.  ::smiles::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Yeah sure.
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Have you looked at some art maybe?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Holographic Klingon:  I'm sorry, but I require you to die.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::raises an eyebrow, not believing it for one moment:: ADM: If you say so, Ethan.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Begins his attack on the Klingon::
Host CO_Woo says:
::stares at the CIV for several seconds... and smiles:: CIV: Never mind. Consider my question withdrawn. But tell me this. Who do you answer to?
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: I expect that you respond to that question with myself, first and foremost... no?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Bye.  ::Gets up and decides to catch up with the CTO and EO::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shrugs.::  EO: Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be enough.  It's...just there.
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: In matters of the operation of the ship, you alone Sir. ::smiles back::
CSO_Sky says:
@ ::Hearing the sound of a harp, her eyes slowly open.  Above her is a sky, colored purple.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
FCO:   Just enjoy your drink Dylan.  ::grins::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::The ensign is thrown across the (thankfully) padded room::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::drains the drink:: ADM: Almost as much as I'll enjoy dinner.
Yeahright says:
::Stands up and slaps him on his back.:: TO:  It's good to see you Demi... Oh I've sent your next shipment to your quarters... 60-40 cut...and I need that Romulan ship... Intelligence is getting their breeches in a knot.  So let me know when the payment is delivered ok?
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: What about some interactive art? I hear that you can actually step inside the paintings.
Host CO_Woo says:
::stands up:: CIV: Thank you, ensign. As long as we maintain that level of operation, I am sure you will find your posting on the Huron to be a pleasant one. Before we return to the Lounge... have you any questions for me?
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> TO: Stop.
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Sara: Sure well.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::Gets up hastily as and throws himself into combat.  The large concentration of caffeine kicks in as he jumps on the hologram and kicks him in the head::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
::looks around and sees Zheng::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Zheng: Yes?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I don't know, something will catch my fancy.  Always does.  Let's just walk a bit?
Yeahright says:
::exits the lounge::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Sure, want to go to the arboretum?
CIV_Tyler says:
::Stands:: CO: No Sir, no questions. But I do have a list of equipment I will be bringing on board the ship, to be placed in my quarters with your permission. ::hands him the list::
CSO_Sky says:
@::In the back of her mind is the inkling that something was wrong.  However, consciously, everything seems just as it should.  Standing, she slips out from under the pine and heads for the music.::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I'd be delighted to.  The arboretum is so alive.
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> TO: Lieutenant. ::hesitates for a moment, as he quickly puts away his dermal regenerator::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Zheng: Could you hurry please, I have important things to do.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
ADM: I'll see you for dinner, Ethan. I have a few things to take care of before then. ::smiles and gives his arm a quick squeeze on his way out of the lounge::
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: Interesting list... you will have to go through the CTO, if you don't mind.
Host ADM_Knight says:
FCO:  1900 hours Dylan......just stop by my quarters.
CIV_Tyler says:
::takes on a more stern look:: CO: Why, if I may ask?
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> TO: I believe... I owe you an apology of sorts, sir. I would shake your hand as a sign of good faith... but my hands are so chafed, it would be too painful.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::A few minutes later, after the Klingon is lying on the floor...::Computer: Computer, remove Klingon combatant.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::The sweat drips down his skinsuit as he wipes the sweat from his forehead::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
ADM: I'll be there, prompt and hungry. ::grins as he heads for the door::
Host CO_Woo says:
CIV: All arms must be registered through him. However... I do recognize a certain level of authority accorded to your position. If necessary, we can waive this. Now... let us return to the lounge, hmm? ::smiles::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Oh I wish I had a picnic basket with some goodies. The arboretum is the best place for a picnic.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: That can be arranged with a quick pass through the merchants sector I'm sure.
CSO_Sky says:
@::Walking into a clearing she nods to the various people lounging around listening.  Then reaching to take the instrument being held out to her, she takes her seat next to the harpist.::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self: I've been a right fool, haven't I?
CIV_Tyler says:
CO: Aye sir. ::heads back towards the lounge::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Self:  Stupid Teval.  Get things straight.
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Computer: Computer?
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Zheng: That's quite alright...Thanks and I also apologize...::whispers to self:: for you lack in taste.
Host CO_Woo says:
::locks the room, and heads back to the lounge::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
Computer: Where is the location of Huron's counselor?
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::In a sotto voce::
Host CO_Woo says:
<Ens_Zheng> ::stiffens as he makes out a whisper... he glares at the TO for a second:: TO: Yes. Thank you. Sir. I... um... I'll be going now. I'll... see you around, sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::Walks down the corridor to the promenade, going over a few things he needs in his mind::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
::walks along quietly now, wondering what Icky is thinking::
Host CO_Woo says:
::heads back for the table:: ADM: Admiral. ::grins::
TO_LtJg_Dem`Rual says:
Zheng: Yeah whatever. ::turns around and jogs down corridors looking for something of interest and people::
OPS_Ens_Teval says:
::nods and heads out resolutely, to look for the CNS::
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Ah, welcome back.  ::grins::
CSO_Sky says:
@::Leaning back against a log, she makes herself comfortable.  Lifting the flute to her lips, she nods to the man next too her and soon the two of them are playing a duet.::
EO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Do you really want to? I mean........really?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I think I do.  It feels right, and that's all that matters.
