<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::in quarters, trying yet again to devise a way to keep the Sehlat and the hunting lizard seperated when I'm out of the room:: Smeaglie: You stay away from that thing. Just because he hasn't snapped you like a twig yet doesn't mean he's not going to. He's 10 times your size, blast it!
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::stands in front of the closet, half the contents strewn about his quarters:: Self: Lots and lots of clothes and nothing to wear.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::in her quarters standing in front of her closet trying to decide what to wear::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::sits in his ready room, reading personnel files on his terminal::
CIV Q'tor says:
::decides it's just a dinner with an Admiral so he will only wear his Daq'tagh::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::nods in thought:: *CIV*: Andrews to Q'tor, would you come to my Ready Room?
CIV Q'tor says:
*CO*: On my way. ::hooks the large buckle across his robe and heads out::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::throws another shirt over his shoulder:: Self: AAARGH!! I've worn that too many times!!
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::out getting last minute supplies, nervous about the upcoming event::
Host Admiral Knight says:
::finishes up getting the room ready for the guests::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::digs through the clothes and sighs:: Self: I have to go shopping one of these days.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::mentally goes through the list of things once more as she stops at the flower shop::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::grabs jacket, slipping it over shirt:: Sehlat: And you, that food is yours. The stuff on top of the shelves is for Smeaglie. Now be good and I'll try to bring you back something. ::steps out door, ignoring the crash that happens as soon as the door closes::
CIV Q'tor says:
::arrives at the ready room and chimes::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CIV: Door's open!
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@::heads over to the CSO:: CSO:  I don't believe we have met. I'm Brandy, I'm your new OPS.
CIV Q'tor says:
::enters:: CO: You wish to see me sir?

FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::pulls out the newest pair of pants he owns... a billowing affair, the only "tight" bit the belt that goes around his waist:: Self: That will teach them to make fun of me! ::goes looking for the matching shirt, believed to be somewhere in the pile of stuff he's already discarded::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::nods:: CIV: Q'tor, of the house of Qaveq, am I right?
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::decides on a little blue number with matching shoes:: Self: This will have to do. ::twirls in front of the mirror checking her hem::
CIV Q'tor says:
CO: That is correct.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::looks up and over curiously:: OPS: I would welcome you aboard the ship, but as I am not there. ::touch of humor in her eyes:: You must be very thorough in learning of the ship and her crew. ::motions toward the flower shop entrance:: Will you be joining us for dinner?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::indicates the chair:: CIV: Have a seat. I've been looking over the crew's profiles and I've found yours remarkable.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::puts on the pants, tying the cuffs around his ankles, belting it up and goes looking for the pair of boots he bought to go with it::
CIV Q'tor says:
::sits down, very curious as to what this is about:: CO: In what way?
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::enters the rather old fashion shop and looks around for Ethan's favorite flowers and her own::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
Self: OK, I'm sure they won't wreck too much. And the fragile stuff has been put away.  Well, what survived is put away.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CIV: It's not every day a member of the Empire/Federation exchange program gets an Admiral's commendation, and I'm sure you're well aware that the Huron's without a first officer..

FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::stamps his feet into the boots, looking for the shirt, again::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@CSO: I suppose I just got a little nosy and started poking around the crew manifest to see who was onboard. I like to know what I'm up against. I recognized your picture. ::smiles::  Dinner .. Ah yes. I would have preferred to dig right in to the mission, but I suppose an order's an order. ::grins and heads into the flower shop with the CSO::
Host Admiral Knight says:
::supervises as the caterers start setting things up::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::rummages through her jewelry box and finds a pair of small gold earrings and a gold chain:: Self: Perfect, now for something..... ::smiles and picks up her favourite atomizer and squirts two shorts bursts, one on her hair and one between her...looks everything over and smiles::
CIV Q'tor says:
CO: You are almost correct sir. I was an Imperial Academy exchange student, but I graduated from Starfleet Academy. I am in fact a Starfleet Officer.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::seeing Iris, similiar to the Betazoid P'kella, moves to get that along with what looks to be a magnolia:: OPS: It is good to know. Knowledge is power and knowledge may be what gets you out of trouble. ::glances at her:: If not in.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::nods:: CIV: Ahh! I stand corrected.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::gives her order to the shop keeper along with a few others that will blend as an arrangement:: OPS: I hope you will enjoy your meal with us... the crew and admiral.  Besides, the ship will need some downtime as well as the crew.
CIV Q'tor says:
CO: It may also be further confusing in that I commanded an the IKS QIb, which was an exchange ship.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::finds the shirt, puts it on and arranges it to fit perfectly... walks through to the bathroom, gets the bottle of cologne he favours lately and sprays a cloud in the air, then walks through it:: Self: Subtle...
CIV Q'tor says:
CO: However it was crewed by Starfleet.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@::chuckles:: CSO: Trouble? Not me, never. ::pauses for a moment:: Did I tell you my initials are B.A.D., Brandy Anne Daniels. So are you heading right to dinner?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::smiles and nods:: CIV: Regardless, you've got an exemplary service record and you're obviously quite familiar with command. This is also my first command, so I'm probably going to need someone as a sort of adviser at times.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::pauses in front of the mirror, places the commbadge in its usual spot, scoops up something on the table by the door and heads out into the corridor::
CIV Q'tor says:
CO: I am at your service Captain.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: This is my last stop. If I do not return soon my... the admiral may send out reinforcements. I admit, parties are not one of my more favored occassions.  But I have been gone a long time and would enjoy quiet time with the command crew.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::wonders if she needs her combadge as she brushes her hair::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::stands back and smiles as everything comes together::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::walks into security, looking for shoes:: Self: I better have left them here. Not enough time to find another pair, and I'd hate to wear the uniform boots.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@CSO: Shall we go then? I wouldn't want to get caught helping someone escape. ::giggles and heads for the door:: So, how long have you been on Huron?
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::decides that it's better to be safe than sorry and puts her badge securely in place::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::makes his way to the docking port, very well aware that a lot of disappointed stares follow him... he's not wearing anything tight this time::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::looks at his chronometer and wonders where Sierra is:: *CSO*: Sierra, how much longer will you be? Our guests will be arriving shortly.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CIV: I know you're currently working with Intell, but I'd like to know what you'd think about serving as my first officer.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::thanks the shop keeper as takes the flowers, then turns to leave:: OPS: It would be hard to quantify... ::stops and looks at Brandy with an I told you so look:: *Adm*: I am returning now, with one guest in hand.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
Self: Ah, there they are. Uh, maybe the rest of this stuff could use "recycling". ::changes shoes and pushes bag back into the locker::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@*CSO*: Wonderful, I'll see you in a bit.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@Self: Wow, this Admiral keeps close tabs on his crew. CSO: I see what you mean.
::grins::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::steps onto the station, smiling at the security on duty, then makes his way to the nearest turbolift::
CIV Q'tor says:
::sits staring at the CO, somewhat surprised, and more than just a little dismayed:: CO:  Surely sir, there is someone more qualified.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@*Adm*: You are of course assuming I can't find another reason to slip away. ::humour in her eyes as she begins to guide the OPS officer into the nearest lift::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@ OPS: How long have you been in Starfleet?
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::just shakes his head at Sierra's last statement::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::picks up a package from the desk and makes a final check of the room before heading out::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CIV: Well, I was considering Roz, but he's made it abundantly clear he'd rather fly the ship than anything, I know I can trust you to your word and your record pretty much speaks for itself.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@::follows the CSO into the TL:: CSO: Actually, I just graduated, so this is my first assignment. I don't think the Academy prepares you enough for first assignments.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::exits the TL, and walks the very familiar corridor, finally stopping before the Admiral's door, reaches up and rings the chime::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@CSO: It's was a little overwhelming at first. Still is, I might add.
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::states loudly:: Enter!
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::exits the Office, headed off ship::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::nods, her assessment correct:: OPS: You will find the Huron is a good crew who will pull you in. ::steps off the lift and turns toward the left, noting someone already there::
CIV Q'tor says:
::heavy sigh:: CO: Very well. If you insist sir, then I will of course perform the duties required of me.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::walks in as the doors swish open:: ADM: I come bearing gifts! ::walks in with the package held like a offering before him:: Better hide it before the rest get here.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::follows Roz in a bit hesitant:: OPS: We are here.
Host Admiral Knight says:
@FCO: No gifts were required Dylan. But thank you. Would you care for something to drink?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::chuckles, smiling:: CIV: It's not an order, Q'tor, it's a request. However, it would be most appreciated to have you as my right-hand man.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::walks to the airlock and acknowledges the security guard there:: Sec: You poor guys never time off do you?
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@CSO: Looks like you know your way around the station as well. ::smiles:: I was doing some shopping and walking around to better acquaint myself with the Starbase. After you, please. ::follows her in::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::hears Sierra behind him and smiles guiltily:: ADM: Its not for you, and you know it. ::turns with a smile::
Security says:
CEO: Someone has to do it.  It's not that bad.
CIV Q'tor says:
CO: I understand sir. ::puffs out his chest in a show of acceptance:: It would be an honour sir.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
@::sees him smile slightly as she walks by him and onto the station::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@OPS: Knowledge... I hope you found some interesting places. There are after all a few.
::steps up to Roz, her eyes searching his face::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::sees Sierra enter with the Ensign he encountered earlier:: CSO: So, who do we have here?
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@CSO: Sierra. ::smiles warmly and goes to give her a hug::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
@CEO: Don't let her fool you, she traded to get this shift. Got her a nice bit in trade I think.  Headed over to the dinner?
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CIV: Glad to hear it. Thank you. ::offers his hand to shake it:: Now, I believe we've both been invited to Admiral Knight's... allons-y!
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::relaxes in Roz arms, closing her eyes:: FCO: Thank you....
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
@::walks along the station corridors nodding to several familiar faces::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@Adm: Hello again, Admiral. It is good to see you again. Brandy Anne Daniels, Sir.
::holds her hand out to shake his:: It is nice to finally meet you, Sir.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@CSO: Did you have any doubts, my friend?
CIV Q'tor says:
::shakes the CO's hand:: CO: I will be along momentarily sir. I just have to pick something up from my quarters.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CIV: I have to change myself. ::stands and heads towards the door:: I'll see you there.
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::extends hand::  OPS:  Glad you could make it Miss Daniels.  ::smiles::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::stepping away, slightly embarrassed:: FCO: In this... no. But... ::looks at him, knowing much from their time as one:: ::leans up and surprises them both by kissing his cheek::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
@CTO: Oh hi Icky. I was just heading to the Admiral's quarters. Any idea why he wants us all to have dinner with him?
CIV Q'tor says:
::exits the ready room and stands looking at the bridge crew in their uniforms:: Self: Well I guess it's back into pajamas for me then.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@Adm: I've been in good hands, Sir. ::motions to the CSO::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::turns toward Ethan:: Adm: A new friend I hope. ::motions toward OPS:: She is known as B.A.D.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
@CEO: No idea, but I'd guess it's got to do with getting to know the new Commanding Officer.
CIV Q'tor says:
::heads off to his quarters::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::blushes slightly:: CSO: I feel the same. ::turns to Brandy and Ethan, his arm still around Sierra's waist::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@OPS:  You too, huh?  ::chuckles::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::enters the nearby turbolift:: TL: Deck 6.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@::giggles:: Adm: Um .. my initials, Sir. ::grins at the CSO::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@OPS:  So do those initials tell me about your reputation?  ::grins::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
@::shrugs:: CTO: Perhaps. By the way, you do look rather fetching in that outfit. Have you been in Roz' closet? ::smiles as she keeps walking::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@OPS: Ensign, might I present to you the ships best FCO, Commander Roznine.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@OPS: Ms. Daniels, please accept my apologies for leaving you in the lurch yesterday when you wanted to report in. Ethan here surprised the hell out of me when our new CO stepped onto the bridge.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::in a loud whisper:: FCO: You may have your hands full.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::gets off the turbolift, enters his quarters and changes hurriedly into a comfortable sleeved shirt and slacks combination, slipping his badge into a pocket::
CIV Q'tor says:
::once in his quarters goes to his desk and pulls out a dark red bottle with the date 1653 I.R. on it, then heads back out to make his way to the dinner::
Host Admiral Knight says:
@::clears throat loudly:: CSO: That would be the ship’s current FCO. ::grins::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::chuckles at Sierra's comment:: CSO: I think I'm up for the task.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@Adm: You're playing with me, aren't you, Sir? ::searches his eyes to see if he's kidding, and then realizes he's not:: I've had my moments but then I think we all have, but I am committed to my duties.
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
@CEO: Actually, no. I would never, ever pretend to be able to pull off one of his outfits. I have much simpler tastes. ::laughs:: You look great tonight.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::returns to the turbolift:: TL: Starbase, Admiral's quarters.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@::holds out her hand to the FCO:: FCO: It is nice to see you again, Commander.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
@::looks at Ethan her eyes twinkling, her voice serious:: Adm:  Really?
Host Admiral Knight says:
@OPS: Well now, you're just going to have to stick around a while to find out if I'm playing with you.
CIV Q'tor says:
@::enters the starbase and seeks out the Admiral::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
@CTO: Thank you for the compliment. ::arrives at the Admiral's digs and rings the chime:: CTO: Ready for some fun Icky?
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
@::takes Brandy's hand and smiles:: OPS: Please call me Roz. Commander is such a mouthful.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
@FCO: And it is okay, I knew you were busy .. Roz.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::gets off the lift and jogs the short distance to the Admiral's quarters to meet the CEO and CTO there:: CEO/CTO: I hope I'm not late..
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
CEO: I think I am. CO: Uh, I hope not as well, Sir.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::turns as the Captain arrives:: CO: Good evening sir.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
OPS: Very understanding of you. ::gives an evil smirk in Ethan's direction:: ADM: No splitting incidents will happen tonight.
CIV Q'tor says:
ADM: Admiral Knight. I am Q'tor, son of Q'von, of the House of Qaveq. ::offers the Admiral the bottle:: I believe it is customary to bring something to a dinner.

Host Admiral Knight says:
::sighs loudly:: FCO: Thank goodness!  ::laughs::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CEO:  Evening, Commander. It's Holly, right?
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::moves from Roz's arm to take care of the flowers and other items she had purchased as small gifts for the crew::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
OPS: Can I get you something to drink? ::chuckles at Ethan's comment and leads the way to the drinks table::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
CO: Yes sir. Holly Sparks, and you know Commander Ec’Thel’lon?
Host Admiral Knight says:
::receives the bottle::  CIV:  Thank you.  But this was not necessary.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CEO/CTO: We've met, but not properly introduced... ::shakes the CTO's hand:: Evening!
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
FCO: How about a diet Pepsi, please? Thanks.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::sees the door open:: CO/CTO: I guess we can go in.
CIV Q'tor says:
ADM: I would be honoured if you accepted it anyway Admiral. Fire wine from the R'nal valley of Qo'noS.
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::spreads the flowers throughout the buffet, glad she had not had to deal with that part of the party::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::returns the handshake:: CO: Yes Sir, it's an honour, Sir.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
OPS: Coming up. ::gets himself a scotch and the soft drink for Brandy::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::walks into the room and straight over to the Admiral::
Host Admiral Knight says:
CIV:  I would certainly not dishonor you by refusing it.  Thank you Q’tor.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::smiles and walks into the room:: CTO: We're on leave, Commander, you can call me James.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
ADM: Admiral, so nice to see you again. ::holds out her hand::
CIV Q'tor says:
::nods to the Admiral::ADM: A word of advice sir. Fire wine is not for the weak hearted.
::Smiles and goes to find a seat::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::takes the drink and takes a small sip:: FCO: So how long are we here for? Do you know?
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
CO: Yes, of course, whatever you prefer. You can call me Ec'.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::looks around and notices people have brought wine:: Self: Damn. Knew I forgot something.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::nods to Q’tor::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
CTO: Will do, Ec'.
Host Admiral Knight says:
All: Okay, if everyone would like to grab something to drink, please do. But, I'd like to have everyone's attention. There is a motive as to why I called you all here.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::takes a sip of his drink too:: OPS: I don't have the faintest idea. I guess a few days.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::turns to listen as Ethan calls their attention::
CIV Q'tor says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: Commander.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::hears the Admiral speak and stands at attention::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::perks the antennae and turns towards the Admiral::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::heads to the buffet and pours himself a glass of rye, listening to the Admiral::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::makes sure everyone has a drink as she quietly greets everyone::
CIV Q'tor says:
::turns to face the Admiral::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::waits to speak to Ethan as he calls for their attention::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::looks over and takes a sip, curious as to what's going on himself::
Host Admiral Knight says:
OPS: Please, as you were.
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::at ease::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::Looks around for the counselor::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::shifts the package in her hands::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::Takes a small glass of some sort of ale. Not exactly sure what it is, but the smell is nice::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::takes a deep breath as she looks at everyone, then slips over toward Ethan::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::nods slightly to the CSO in a quiet greeting::
Host Admiral Knight says:
All: I'm going to let Sierra explain a little more in detail as to why you are all here.
::looks over at Sierra::
CIV Q'tor says:
::quietly looks over the choices of drinkables and finally decides on a large glass of some green stuff and downs it, then reaches out to get another::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::stands to the back of the group, watching::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::looks at the Admiral debating about leaving for a little bit longer for a few more errands::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::sips on the drink in her hand as she waits for Sierra to speak::
Host Admiral Knight says:
::looks over at Sierra and grins:: CSO: Not on your life!
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::gives him a brief glare:: ~~~Adm: There will be a price later.~~~
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::looks over the heads of the group, catching Sierra's eye and gives her a wink::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::glances back at the Captain and nods::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::stands quietly taking a drink and waiting for the announcement::
CIV Q'tor says:
::watches the CSO waiting for her explanation, feeling more than a little grumpy now::
Host Admiral Knight says:
CSO: Come now, you'll be fine. We've got their attention now.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::takes another sip in anticipation::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::looks at her crew:: All: I wanted to thank you for coming to join us for some down time.  What you are not aware of, is while it has been but a few weeks since last you saw me, it has been four years since I last saw you. ::glances at Ethan indignantly::
Host Admiral Knight says:
::looks over at Holly, smiles and winks::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::tries to keep antenna twitching down pondering the words::

OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::gets a little confused, but remains quiet::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
All: Actually, make that both myself and the Admiral. We have been staying with family, thanks to Q.
CIV Q'tor says:
::raises an eyebrow in disbelief::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::turns away quickly slightly embarassed that she bothered the Captain::
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::frowns, thinking, 'Mon Dieu, temporal mechanics and the Q...'::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
All: Both the admiral and I would like to say, we are both glad to see you once again, hale and... hearty. ::Glances at Ethan::
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::takes a sip from his drink, watching::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::thinks to herself:: Self: The Admiral AND her?
Host Admiral Knight says:
~~~CSO: You're doing just fine.~~~
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::watches the reactions around the room, a slight smile on his face::
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::looks at Icky and gives him the ‘what's going on’ look::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::turns it back over to Ethan, not intending to say anything more. It was his party after all::
Host Admiral Knight says:
All: It seems Sierra here is a bit, shall we say shy about what she wants to tell you.
::looks over at Sierra and smiles::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
::shrugs shoulders back at Holly::
Host Admiral Knight says:
All: To make a long story short, Sierra and I have been joined.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::takes the last sip, and turns to get another one, timing it with Ethan's words::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::notices Roz, and looks sadly away::
CIV Q'tor says:
::looks at the Admiral and the CSO... they look separate::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::almost chokes on her drink:: Self: Joined?
Host Admiral Knight says:
All: And since we were wed without you, our friends, present, we wanted to have a small vow renewal ceremony here....before the Huron leaves.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::swigs her entire drink down::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::glances at Brandy. Quietly:: OPS:  Are you all right?
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
::pauses a moment, then turns around and smiles at Sierra and Ethan, walking over to them:: All: And I for one, am very happy for you. But then you already know that.
CO Lt. Cmdr. Andrews says:
::gets an 'ahhhh!' look and smiles::
CTO Lt. Cmdr. Ec'Thel'Ion says:
Self: Not quite what I expected. Not even in the same arena.
CEO Lt. Cmdr. Sparks says:
::lets the package in her hand drop and steps on it purposely::
CIV Q'tor says:
::looks around for someone who looks like they know what's going on::
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
::looks at Roz, and then turns toward the backroom as she hears Aurora::
OPS Ens. Daniels says:
::clears her throat:: CSO: Aye, it just took me by surprise. Please forgive me, and congratulations.
FCO Cmdr. Roznine says:
CSO: May I?
CSO Lt. Cmdr. Knight-Sky says:
OPS: Not at all...
CIV Q'tor says:
