::In the Ground Forces Supply Depot... getting her requisition for parts and supplies filled, already back in uniform.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::taking the elevator down, she exits in the lobby and walks out of the hotel, on her way to the pet hotel::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he looks behind his bedroom door, where he has a fresh uniform hanging behind; beamed in that morning; he takes it off the hanger and tosses it on his bed, as he changes into the uniform::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Self: Ahh, what a vacation... ::grabs his suitcases and heads to the lobby:: *Crew*: All senior staff requiring supply requisitions meet me in the lounge. Marsland out.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Hears the comm, and jumps off the bed.  Grabs her bag and heads for the lobby to meet the XO.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::hears the XO and knows that Marie has taken care of all the counseling needs for the ship::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Wandering down the street, her arms full of potted plants, looking through various store windows with a smile.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Pulls PADD, checking the reports from the Bynars, confirming all the new Phase Crystals and Sirium Kellinide cells came in.::

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
*XO*: I'm already taking care of it Sir, I'll be beaming up with my gear and my team shortly.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*CIV*: Very good, Ensign.  I'll see you there.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:

*XO*: Tacticals needs have been fulfilled and confirmed.  We're ready to depart when the ship is.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Takes the elevator down to the lobby, with her padd in hand, and heads over to the XO.::  XO: Lt.  Nice to see you again.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::rides the elevator down, and steps out into the lobby::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::hearing a yowl from the back, she knows Baby is close::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::smiles at the CMO, and waves:: *CTO*: Noted, Lieutenant.  Glad to see that most of us are on top of things.. Keep up the good work.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Hears some whining and yelping coming from what appears to be some sort of shop.::  Self: What the heck is making that racket?  Sounds like a zoo in there.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO: And you.. how was your past few days?

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
::Signs for the parts and gear, has team grab the cases and get together:: *COM*: Huron: TR1: Huron, 6 to beam up plus cargo, energize when ready.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: reluctantly turns and leaves her room for the last time, pulling the door closed tightly, and heads to the lobby ::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::neatly folds the clothes he just took off, wrapping them separately and squeezing them into his pack; he walks to the mirror and adjusts his collar slightly, before slinging the bag over his shoulders and steps out of his quarters, walking the few steps down the first floor hallway to the lounge::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Arriving to the assigned location, she carefully hands her plants over to the shuttle pilot.::  Pilot:  Thanks Lach.  I appreciate this.  But I really could not have them beamed aboard.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
XO: It was wonderful, thank you.  I actually got to meet up with an old friend I went to the academy with.  It was good to see her, but I can honestly say I am anxious to get underway.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  You look great Baby!  I have missed you.  Tio had to leave, but he said to tell you goodbye and to take care of your babies!  ::Baby began to nuzzle Randi as if to say "of course I will"::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: walks through the lobby and outside :: Self: What's that noise over there? :: looks down the street ::

SO_Jewel says:
<Lachlan> ::Shakes his head with a smile::  SO:  You and your quirks... ::Lifts his hand to pause her::  which are kind of cute.  Enjoy the rest of the day.  I will see you later.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::smiles and starts to slowly walk towards the door:: CMO:  Glad to hear.  I spent the last few days at McKinley Station with my wife, but yes.. I am eager to get underway again as well.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*XO*:  Sir, all my requests for the counseling department have been taken care of by Marie.  Do you need me there for anything else?

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he pulls out a padd and makes a few notes, checking off items on his personal agenda and shuffling just-arrived paperwork to the side; he sees the XO and CMO:: CMO: Doctor. XO: Lieutenant. I trust supply requisitions and other such ship matters have been taken care of?

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::pauses for a moment:: *CNS*: No, that will be all. Thank you for checking in.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Walks with the XO.::XO: That's great.  Is she back on duty now or is she still on shore leave?

SO_Jewel says:
:: With her burden gone, looks around the area trying to decide what she would like to do before having to go aboard.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reads sign above the door "Ichtar's House of Exotic Beasts", but looking through the windows there's not much exotic or beast like to be seen, just heard.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: moves down the street quickly, her curiousity peeked now ::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: Yes, Captain, I am still receiving reports from the rest of the departments. So far, it appears the Huron is again ready to set sail.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::holding Baby close, she begins her last walk down the beach, never knowing when she would be there again::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Deciding the beach it is, she heads in that direction, not thinking about a swim suit.::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
XO: Excellent. Keep me apprised of any... unexpected things that arise. ::he walks over to the front desk in search of the concierge::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
*CO*: Yes, Captain.  I am doing so as we speak.

ACTION:  The CIV and her crew beam aboard the Huron.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::spots Icky standing in front of a storefront:: CTO: Hey Icky, what's happening here?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Not sure, place says it's some sort of pet store, but I've never heard such noise in a pet store before.  Things don't sound happy.

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
@::Heads to the turbolift:: TL: Deck 5.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::waits for the CO to catch up:: CMO: She and the Apache are awaiting new orders and undergoing massive refits.. they recently had an encounter with the Borg... ::somberly::... over one-third of their crew was lost.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::lets Baby down for her last romp on the planet::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::nods as he watches the CO walk off:: CO: Of course Sir. I'll be on the bridge.

SO_Jewel says:
:: Making it to the beach, she runs straight for the water with a smile.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: So, let's check it out. I'm game if you are.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he leans against the front counter, looking side to side... tapping quietly on the bell on the counter, which releases a pleasant chime of a sound::

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
@::Heads to the Armory with her team and gear, stows the gear and parts, and begins the Quarterly Maintenance on weapons and equipment::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Shudders at the mention of the Borg.::  XO: I am sorry to hear that, Sir.  She must be pretty devastated to lose so many of her crew.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO: Yes, very much so. Their skipper lost his wife and two children to the bastards.. but enough of that. So, how is the Medical Department? All set to go?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: OK, not sure what we can do, but it just doesn't sound right inside.  ::Steps forward and pulls the door open, pausing briefly at the odor coming out.::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::walks to the beamup point slowly::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
Concierge: Hello? Anyone around? ::hits the bell with a bit more force...::

SO_Jewel says:
:: As she hits the water, she remembers she is not exactly dressed for swimming, but doesn´t stop.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::watching Baby as she tears down the beach at a dead run::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: grabs her nose and holds it :: CTO: Ugh! That's awful!

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Walks with the XO to the beam-up point.::  XO: I think I'm ready as I'll ever be.  ::Looks around one last time hoping to catch a glimpse of her friend, T'Lin, but she is not in sight.  Then smiles, knowing she left her a message wishing her well.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::steps inside and carefully steps over something brown covering the floor:: CTO: Watch your step.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO: Ready to beam up?

SO_Jewel says:
:: With long strokes, she makes it out to a small coral toll, then turns around and heads back, swimming as hard as she can.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Grins at the XO.::  XO: Aye.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Someone's gotta report this or something.  This isn't right.  You too. ::Walks up to the counter.::  Shopkeeper: Let me guess, you must be Ictar.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he starts hitting the bell with full force:: Concierge: Hey! How about a little serv- ::he catches himself, as a diminutive man shuffles out from behind the curtain::

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Baby, time for us to go... get your furry little behind back here! ::laughing at Baby nipping at the waves::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*Huron*: Marsland to the Huron. Two to beam up. Energize.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Notices a few animals in too small cages behind the counter.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: hears something like a baby crying in the back :: CTO: Something sounds so unhappy back there.

ACTION:  The XO and CMO are beamed to the Huron.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::materializes in the Transporter Room:: Outloud: Ahh, home sweet.. home.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Holds her stomach as she materializes on the Huron.  She always hated when her molecules were shuffled around.::

Ictar says:
CTO: I might be, but what's it to you?  You looking for an animal?  I've got a few nice ones.

The Concierge says:
::points to his ears:: CO: My apologies, sir, somewhat hard of hearing. What do you want? ::smiles::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Ictar: This place is deplorable!  Do you have a liscence to operate this slop house?

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@XO: Yes, home at last.

SO_Jewel says:
:: Out of breath, makes it back to the sand and stands up, walking away from the waves, dripping weat and perfectly happy.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: walks to the back and peers through the curtain :: Self: Oh the poor things.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Baby finally tires of her game of trying to catch the waves and ambles back to Randi:: Baby:  Okay, time for us to leave. ::reaching down she attaches her collar::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@CMO: Well, I am going to throw my things in my quarters and head up to the bridge. You're welcome to join me up there if you'd like. ::begins to walk out of the transporter room and down the corridors::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: calls out to Icky:: CTO: Icky, you have to see this! :: motions to him to come over ::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::grumbles:: Concierge: Here's your key, I'm checking out today, as are most of the Huron crew. ::slaps the key on the counter:: And let me make a suggestion. The next time someone has a Do Not Disturb sign hanging from their doorknob... it doesn't mean you can tip-toe into someone's room to avoid disturbing them! Got that?

Ictar says:
CTO: As a matter of fact, I do!  And even if I didn't, you Fleeter's ain't got no authority to enforce things anyhow.  Now, would you like one of my sweet creatures or would you like me to kick your blue self on out?

SO_Jewel says:
:: Notices a women with an unusual pet and stops to observe.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@XO: Thank you, Sir, but I think I'm going to take my bags to my quarters, and check in at sickbay.  I'll catch you later.  ::Waves to him as she enters the TL and orders it to her quarters.::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::waves back:: CMO: See you later then.

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
@::Continues cleaning and checking the small mountain of gear and weapons with her team.::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::continues walking down the corridor, dropping his bags off at his quarters, and enters another TL, ordering it to the bridge::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Walks over.::  CEO: This ain't right.  Ictar: How much for all of 'em, and for a promise that you'll find a new line of work if I don't contact the city authorities?

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Smiles as the TL doors close.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::senses that someone is looking at her and at Baby::  SO:  Hello, do I know you? ::smiling at her::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Steps back a bit shyly, shaking her head.::  CNS:  No... I am sorry.  I did not mean to stare.  It was just... ::Motions toward the cat.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::After the TL doors open, she heads down the long corridor to her quarters.  She enters and sees a bunch of flowers on a table in her quarters.::  Self:  Now who are these from?

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO: Oh Baby!  She is my ocelot.  She was born on Earth, in a place called Texas.  She won't hurt you.  ::grinning::  I am Randi McIntyre.  I am the CNS on the Huron.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: bends down and pats a small furry creature through the bars of a tiny cage ::

Ictar says:
::Eyes light up, and scribbles a price on a pad, handing it over.::

The Concierge says:
::his eyes widen, but he's still displaying that sickly grin on his face...:: CO: Of course, sir. And the hotel apologizes PROFUSELY for the error. I trust your, er, guest is alright? I do wish we caused him no inconvenience - or yourself, for that matter.

SO_Jewel says:
::Blinks and goes still a moment, eyeing the woman who was younger then she was and squeeks out.::  CNS:  Huron?

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Yes, why?  I promise I don't bite, and neither does my cat.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: We can't leave them here Icky. :: picks up a cage ::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Opens the card and finds the flowers are from her friend T'Lin and her fiance, Mark.::  Self: How nice they thought of me.  ::Takes them to the sink and puts some water in them.::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::steps out on the bridge, and looks around to see who's there and who's goofing off::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Quietly::  CNS:  Oh... ummm... ::Becomes self conscious as she remembers her current very wet clothes.::  I am assigned to the Huron too.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Ictar: You are lucky I'm a forgiving being...and that I don't have time for an inquiry.  ::Pulls out a stack of credits, handing them over.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  I don't believe I know you.  What is your name?  ::sensing the timidity in the woman::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::grumbles:: Concierge: Do not concern yourself with *that*. Good day, sir. ::glares at him for a moment, before stepping out onto the streets, wondering which way it was to the nearest beam-out facility...::

SO_Jewel says:
CNS: Ensign Jewel Ma'am.  I came aboard at the Huron's last stop.  You were not there, nor was the CSO.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: smiles at her friend :: CTO: Thanks, you're a true animal lover.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO: Nice to meet you.  Just call me Randi.  What is your first name?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: No, we can't.  Let's get 'em outside and get 'em back to the ship.  ::Bends down and picks up 3 cages.::

SO_Jewel says:
::Looks embarrased and mumbles under her breath her first name.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  I couldn't quite hear that, can you try again?  ::smiling at her::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::walks into the Conference Room and takes a seat to go over some paperwork::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: grabs several little cages and tucks one under each arm :: CTO: You'll have to take the big one back there, it's too heavy.

SO_Jewel says:
:: Her blush increases.::  CNS:  My parents were geologists.  They named my Crystal.  ::Sighs::  Crystal Jewel.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Places her baggage on the bed and starts to unpack her things.  Notices a padd packed in the corner of her bags.  She begins to open it, but realizing it's from T'Lin, she puts it down and decides to read it later after she has unpacked and checked in at sickbay.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  How perfectly lovely!  I wish my parents had named me like that!  Instead, I got stuck with Randi...

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sets the cages down and heads back inside.::  CEO: What is that?  Some kind of cat?  ::Picks up the cage, stopping on the way out.::  Ictar: And the lizard, place him on top if you would.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Looks like one, but it is very....fierce looking.

SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  Randi Jewel would have been better then Crystal Jewel.  ::Sigh::  You cannot imagine the teasing.  Especially when I didn't go into geosciences.

Ictar says:
::On comm device.::  CTO: Price didn't include delivery, blueberry head.  Get it yourself.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Well, not everyone has taste Crystal!  Chin up girl!  Stick with me, and I will show you how to have a good time, and pooh on the rest of them!  Come on, let's get going.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::notices he has yet to hear from Flight, Science, and Engineering::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Finishes unpacking her things and heads off to sickbay, taking the padd from T'Lin with her to read after.::

SO_Jewel says:
::Sighs::  CNS:  Is it that time then?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: glares over at Ictar :: Ictar: You realize we could have you shut down for this don't you? You're a health menace to the area.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sets the cage down, grabbing the lizard, hearing "and hurry up" from Ictar's mouth.  Picks up the cage and hurries himself.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: places her cages next to the others :: CTO: I think that's all of them Icky.

Ictar says:
CEO: Perhaps, but this isn't Starfleet's area of aurthority, lady.  Besides, this was never meant as a permanent store.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I think so, let's get 'em beamed out quick.  I don't trust this guy.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO: Yes it is... want to stop at my quarters and have a bite to eat?  You can get to know Baby as well.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
Ictar: You are the lowest of the low. You have no right to abuse these animals like this.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::walks past a Starbucks, and peers in:: Self: My God, they really *are* everywhere... ::walks in and orders a soy latté::

SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  Ummm... sure... If I can change into something dry.  I can already see the transporter face as I beam aboard with all this sand and water.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Sure thing... where are your dry ones at?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: walks outside and waits beside the cages :: CTO: All set?

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::After taking the TL to Sickbay, she checks in.  Starts to think of what changes she could make in sickbay.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sees 2 guys moving quickly towards the store.::  Self: I don't like this.  *Bee*: There's half a dozen life forms 2 meters from my location.  Get 'em beamed up to Doctor Poochini.  CEO: Yup, as I said, I don't trust this guy at all.  ::Points to the 2 guys coming up the street.::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Smiles mischieviously::  CNS:  In my quarters on the ship.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: whispers to Icky :: CTO: Where are we going to put them all?

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  So, how do you think you can get past the transporter pad?  ::grinning::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I'll find homes for 'em.  That's the easy part.

SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  Didn't say I wanted to miss him.  I just didn't want to transport the ocean to your quarters too.

Bee says:
*CTO*: Did you say half a dozen?  What did you do now?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: But the Captain..........he's going to turn blue over this.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@*CEO*: Marsland to Lt. Sparks.  How are the pre-startups coming Lieutenant?

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Site to site is for emergencies only... ::waiting for her answer::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he sticks his earbuds into his ears as he activates his padd's music capabilities... sips his latte as he steps into the transporter hub; as he waits in line, he hums quietly to humself:: Self: mmm.... da dum dee.... sucks to be you..... la dee dum... ::he opens his eyes, and he steps on the transporter padd::

SO_Jewel says:
::Shakes her head::  CNS:  Actually, I am looking forward to Ensign Parvels expression.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Bee*: I'll explain later, get 'em up now!  Trust me!

ACTION:  The Captain is beamed to the ship. 

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Oh!  ::begins to giggle::  Well, I guess we better go then!  We don't want to keep him waiting!

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
*XO*: Sorry sir. I'm still on the surface, but I'm sure that Lt. Marks has everything under control in engineering.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::walks onto the bridge as he awaits his response::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Decides changes to sickbay can wait.::  Self:  Maybe I'll go check out the bridge.  Changing the EMH to a woman will have to wait.  ::grins.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::looks at the young man standing at the transporter console::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::nods:: *CEO*: Very well.  I don't intend to rush you at all, but I do expect us to be transferred off of starbase umbilicals within an hour.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: turns back to Icky :: CTO: I think we'd better get moving.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Stand back, I think it's going to get ugly...for Ictar's friends.  If Bee's not beamed 'em up in 20 seconds, call him back and tell him I'm going to kick his furry..Ooof!  ::Get's pushed back by the first goon.::

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
@::looks at the young man standing at the transporter console... then turns to the side:: CNS: Ah, good afternoon, counselor.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
*XO*: Understood sir. I'll tend to it right away. Sparks out.

SO_Jewel says:
@ ::Smiles as Parvel gets one of those annoying looks on his face.  Then steps down, hearing the water squish from her shoes.::  Parvel:  Hello Henry.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CO:  Good afternoon Captain.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Rolls and leaps for the closest, pushing him into his friend.::  Goon: you DON'T wanna do this.  Even if you had the manpower, the cash I got aint worth the effort.

ACTION:  The CTO is jumped by the goons.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::nods, pleased with the response, and announces as he relieves the bridge officer:: All: I have the bridge.

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@::Walks to a TL, and orders it to the bridge.  Exits and sees the XO standing around.::  XO:  Ahh, so this is what the bridge looks like.  ::Smirking.::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::grins at the CMO:: CMO: Have a seat, Doctor.

SO_Jewel says:
@ :: Just realizing the captain is there too, blushes even harder and looks down at her shoes with a sigh.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: reaches out and whacks the goon :: Goon: Hey, keep your filthy hands off.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CO:  Captain, have you met Ens. Jewel?

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@*SO*: Marsland to Jewel. Ensign, is the Science Department ready for departure?

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
@::stands about, looking a bit silly, not knowing what to say:: CNS: ... Well! I should be off. Good day. ::stops himself...:: CNS: Yes, indeed. ::smiles at the SO:: SO: Ensign. ::nods::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Swipes the legs out of the closest one.::  Goons: I'm telling you, you're outclassed.  Run.

SO_Jewel says:
@ ::Ready to sink through the floor::  CO:  Good afternoon sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::begins to giggle::  SO:  Well I wonder what is up with him?  He usually isn't so abrupt!

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
@XO: Actually, I think I'll stand.  It's not often I will get to be up here.  I just want to enjoy the view, if you don't mind.  So, have we gotten any mission orders yet?  Do we know where we're headed?

SO_Jewel says:
@ *XO*: Ummm... Yes sir.  I didn't leave the ship until it was.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: swings around and lands a roundhouse kick on another goon :: Goon: I said lay off!

ACTION:  The goons do not believe the CTO and CEO, they continue to fight.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
@::smiles again, and quickly pops out of the transporter room, making his way for the turbolift::

SO_Jewel says:
@ ::Under her breath::  CNS:  Probably doesn't like the ocean on his floor either.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@SO:  He will get over Crystal.   He is fairly nice, most of the time... except when he tries to pull surprise drills in the middle of a crisis!

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: balls up her hands into fists and takes a stance :: Goons: Ok you goons, who's next?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Picks up the first, tossing him about a meter onto the porch of the store.::

ACTION:  The animals are beamed to the Huron, Bee, being a little slow on the uptake.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
@::he steps into the turbolift, exhaling:: Turbolift: Bridge.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
@::nods:: *SO*: Very good, Marsland out. ::turns:: CMO: Trust me, you'll know shortly after I do.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: looks over at Icky:: CTO: Now?

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Transporter Chief*: Beam Chief Sparks and I up, now!

SO_Jewel says:
@ ::Heavy sigh::  CNS:  Yea, he seems like it.  Roz... I mean... Commander Roznine is the one I have been reporting to.  ::Exits the room with her squishing shoes.::

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
@::Orders drinks for the team from the replicator in the Security Office, then gets back to checking the equipment::

ACTION:  The CTO and CEO are beamed out, with the goons lunging for them, hitting the floor through the beamout. 

SO_Jewel says:
@ ::Frowns::  CNS:  Aren't drills supposed to be surprises?

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
@::the doors slide open, and he steps briskly onto the bridge::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Throws him a smile, realizing her anxiousness is starting to show.::  XO: So isn't it hard being away from your wife, her being on another ship?

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO: Yes, it is difficult. But we are both doing what we love.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Materializes.::  CEO: You OK?  I'd have rather taught those guys a lesson, but being late because I wanted to beat a mugger wouldn't sit well with the Captain or new Exec.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Yes they are, but that was definitely not good timing on his part.  ::her face turns grave::  We lost a lot of folks on the planet, the crew took it very hard.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::stands, and faces the CO:: All: Captain on the bridge!

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Stands at attention.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: finds herself on the ship still with clenched fists :: CTO: Huh? Oh sure I'm fine.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Ready to go to my quarters?  Or do you want to stop at yours first, or meet me?

SO_Jewel says:
::Nods::  CNS:  I have read the reports on that.  The last mission, we came upon a mining camp where everyone had been killed.  ::Sighs again.::  Sometimes I wonder if it is all about death.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::he stiffens, as he continues to his seat:: All: At ease. XO: What's going on? ::drops his pack beside his chair, and takes a look around::

SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  Mine first... you really don't want water and sand in your room. ::Looks back at the path she is leaving for one Henry to clean up.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  No it isn't Crystal... if it were, Starfleet would be redundant, and we definitely are NOT redundant!

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Dr. Poochini*: Hey doc, I just had a couple animals beamed to the clinic room, do me a favor and check 'em out.  I'll pick em up after we're under way and set.  Thanks.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Ok, I am following you, wet girl!

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Whispers to the XO.::  XO: I'll catch you later, Sir.  I should be heading back to sickbay.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CO: Lt. Marks in Engineering is beginning the pre-startups.  All departments except Engineering are completely ready for departure, and I have Lt. Sparks’ word that we will be detaching from starbase power within the hour.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: See you later then.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: wipes off her clothing :: CTO: You know that there will be hell to pay for this, right?

SO_Jewel says:
::Nods and steps onto the turbolift, sending it to deck 6.::  CNS:  How long do you think it will be before Henry forgives me?

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Gives a quick wave and heads over to the TL ordering it to Sickbay.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  What is there to forgive?  If the man doesn't have a sense of humor Crystal, he ain't worth having!

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Good to hear you're OK.  The vet should have them checked out by the time we're under way.  And I can afford it.  ::Grins.::  Just gotta figure out what that cat is...and who can handle something like that.

SO_Jewel says:
:: Shakes her head emphatically::  CNS:  Noooo... he is not mine.  He is my friends, but he is always so disapproving of me.  I don't know what she sees in him. ::Steps out of the turbolift and heads for her quarters.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Enters sickbay.::  Computer: Please activate the Emergency Medical Hologram.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: I just don't know what we're going to tell the Captain. There are just so many of them Icky.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
XO: Good. I'll be updating the senior staff shortly as to where we're off to. In the meantime, I'll be in my ready-room.

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Again, there is no accounting for taste... sometimes we just have to let our friends make mistakes, even though we know they will be hurt in the end.

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: We don't have to tell him anything, I'll take the blame, if there is any.  Besides, it's just six of them.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::nods and leans over:: CO: Care to let me in on it? ::grins::

The EMH says:
CMO:  Please state the nature of the medical emergen .. Oh, it's you, Doctor.  How may I help you?

SO_Jewel says:
:: Enters her quarters, glad to see her roommate was missing.::  CNS:  A wise person once told me that your friends friends, do not have to be your friends.  This could be one of those cases.  ::Starts to pull off her wet clothes.::  If you will give me a moment, I will quickly rinse off and dress.

Host CO_Capt_Woo says:
::leans in:: XO: Well, there's no point in me explaining it twice. In due time, lieutenant. Like, after I let myself in on it. ::winks, and holds up the padd in his hand, as he walks towards his ready room::

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Go ahead, Baby and I will wait for you... hope you don't mind if she is nosy!

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
EMH: I think I am going to modify your program just a bit.  Please stand still.  ::Walks over to her computer console and taps a few buttons on the computer, changing the EMH to a woman.::  Self:  There, that's better.  ::Hits the reset button.::

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::smiles and nods his understanding, and settles back into the center chair again::

SO_Jewel says:
::Shakes her head::  CNS:  As long as she does not harm plants... ::Disappears into the small bathing room with a change of clothes.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Said in a masculine voice, the female EMH responds.::  <EMH> CMO: Please state the nature of the medical emergen .. Is something the matter, Doctor?  Why are you staring at me?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: checks her chronometer :: CTO: Yikes, I have to check in with Marks...catch you later Icky?

CNS-McIntyre says:
SO:  Only if it is catnip Crystal! And it doesn't appear as if you have any mint plants in here!

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Right, and I have to get to the Bridge.  Catch you soon.

SO_Jewel says:
:: Turns on the shower and calls out.::  CNS:  Mint is on the top shelf...

SO_Jewel says:
::Quickly soaps and rinses off.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: grabs Icky and kisses him :: CTO: That's for being a hero today. :: smiles and runs off ::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Giggles as she hears the masculine voice coming from the feminine looking EMH.::  EMH: Nothing a few hormones wouldn't cure the average normal individual.  But for you ::grins:: I suppose I should fix you.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::closely watches Baby so she doesn't discover the mint plant::

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Strike Team is ready for departure Sir, we are in the Armory doing maintenance checks if you need us.

Host XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*CIV*: Noted Ensign, thank you for the update.

CIV_ENS_Hembrook says:
*XO*: No problem Sir, Hembrook out.

SO_Jewel says:
:: As soon as she sees no more suds, climbs out and reaches for a towel, quickly drying herself.::

CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles and walks briskly to the Bridge for the final Tactical and Security Check.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Taps a few more buttons on the computer console, and hits the reset button once more.::

CMO_Ens_Sydney_Logan says:
::Hopes she has it right this time, and waits for the EMH to reappear.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: heads back to engineering still smiling ::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Dragging on her clothes, she grabs a comb and exits, slightly out of breath.::  CNS:  Ready...
