::sitting on the floor watching the kittens::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: slowly walking down the promenade deck looking for the nearest bar :: Self: I wonder where everyone went?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Heading for the bridge with Braeden on one hip and Níyol following behind.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::emerges from a turbolift on the station's promenade, looking back and forth for the casino::
XO_Q`tor says:
::Sitting on the bridge wondering how much longer:: Self: Heavy sigh
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::makes his way along the corridor to Randi's quarters::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CEO*: Sorry, had a pet emergency, Smeaglie snuck out and found his way to the station, and it took me some time to find him.  Where are you now?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Cleaning up a few things in her quarters, placing a few dishes in the replicator.  Decides to go visit Randi to see her kittens.  Heads over to the exit.::  Computer:  Dim lights please.  ::Exits and heads to Randi's quarters, skipping along in the corridor and whistling.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Hears the sigh as the doors open::  XO:  Anything wrong commander?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*XO*:  Q'tor, where are you?  I thought you were coming to see the kittens?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: stops :: *CTO*: Icky? Do you know that you missed a staff meeting? Oh and I'm on the promenade deck of the station, near the casino.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@::dismisses his senior officers from the meeting and gets up from the table::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Makes her way up to Randi's quarters, and rings the door chime.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::starts in one direction, then notices Holly in the distance and waves to catch her attention::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::stops outside Randi's quarters and rings the chime::
XO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Merely waiting for orders to go do something Counselor
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Enter!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: sees the Captain and smiles and waves back ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CEO*: Yeah, the Captain's probably going to kill me, but when I got the call I was crawling in the midst of the stations Deuterium storage reaching for a tail just out of reach.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Enters the quarters, also seeing the FCO.  Waves to him and rushes in.::  FCO:  Beat ya!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins:: OPS: So you have! ::chuckles and enters::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::catches up with the CEO and overhears Icky, then bites his tongue with a grin::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS/FCO:  Back here you two...
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Giggles, and runs to sit down next to Randi.::  FCO:  Beat ya again!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: grins slightly embarassed :: *CTO*: I'm with the Captain right now Commander. Care to join us?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps up to her station and checks over the updates.::  XO:  Orders probably will not be long in coming.  You should enjoy the time you have.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::walks through to where Randi is:: CNS: We're here...
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: I'm on my way Counselor
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: Hello again Captain. Heading to the casino?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Sees Baby laying on the floor next to the kittens.::  CNS:  Randi!  They're beautiful!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO/OPS:  So what do you think?  Aren't they gorgeous?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CEO*: Sure, I'll be right there.  About where are you?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  May I hold one or is it too soon?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO: That I am; I see my invitation didn't get lost. ::smiles::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO/OPS:  If she keeps licking them, she is going to take off all their fur!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*CTO*: Meet us in front of the casino, promenade deck.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CSO*:  Sierra, is Braeden in your quarters on the Huron?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::kneels next to Randi:: CNS: They are gorgeous! ::reaches over to pet Baby::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  That is up to Baby... she has let me hold them.
XO_Q`tor says:
CSO:I have already enjoyed myself. Now I need something to do.  Would you care to accompany me to the Counselors quarters to see her babies?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: I guess the rest of the staff decided to pass it up.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles at Randi.::  CNS:  How will I know if she will let me hold one?  I don't want her to eat me.  ::Said very seriously.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CEO*: Be right there.  ::Moves quickly through the crowds, or as quickly as can be done.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
* Adm*:  Nope... I have him here on the bridge.  Your meeting over with?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS;  She won't bite, but listen for a low growl in her throat, she only warns you once.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::looks in:: CEO: You're telling me. Well.. no free drinks for them, I guess.. I've heard that's tradition; most-recently promoted officers buys the first round. ::winks::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  I have a feeling her quarters are going to be rather crowded.  I wonder how Baby will take to that.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@*CSO*:  Yes, and I was going to head over to Randi's quarters.  Are you sure it's appropriate to have him on the bridge?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Nods and reaches out to pet Baby first.::  Baby:  Hey Baby, how are you doing?  Your kittens are beautiful. ::Scratches her behind the ear a bit.::
XO_Q`tor says:
CSO: I do not know.  I doubt that I will stay for long.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
* Adm*:  What kind of question is that?  Besides, we are docked and everything is locked down.  Q'tor has invited me to join him to Randi's quarters, so I will meet you there.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: That's the newest sir....but I think you're going to have to settle for me.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::tickles Baby under her chin and then behind her ears:: Baby: Have a good mama you are.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Stands up and holds the TL door open for the CSO:: CSO: After you
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  It would appear all is layed out.  ::  Logs off her station.::  There is nothing here that needs my immediate attention.  If you are ready?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Makes a very quick stop, then turns the corner and approaches the casino.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  She likes it... hear her purring?
Host ADM_Knight says:
@~~~CSO:  You know what I mean by that....and I'll see you there.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: I hope you don't mind if Commander Ec`Thel`lon joins us?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Slips through the doors, stepping back to make room for Níyol.::  XO:  Thank you.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ Adm:  Can we get Níyol a uniform?~~~~
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO: Mind? The more, the merrier! ::smiles::
XO_Q`tor says:
::directs the TL to the deck that the CNS's quarters are on::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  I can hear her.  She's so cute!  ::Can hear a purring coming from Baby as she pets her and scratches behind her ear.::  Baby:  I'm going to pet one of you baby kittens, okay?  ::Slowly turns to one of the kittens and just starts to pet it first.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
@::heads toward the airlock where the Huron is docked::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: By the way, thank you for the commendation sir. It was most unexpected.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS/FCO:  Ok, one male and is mine and one female is the Admirals.  That leaves 2 females and one male.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@:: Arrives at the Casino.:: CEO: Sorry I took so long.
CO: And sorry about the meeting, Sir.  I was in the middle of station Deuterium tanks, chasing an errant reptile, and I knew I could never make it back to the ship in time.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::watches Baby as he reaches over to pick up one of the kittens::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  I want a female!  I'm going to call her Tinkerbell!
XO_Q`tor says:
::Steps off the TL and waits for the CSO::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Fine with me... the vet says Momma and babies are fine and healthy!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: I'll take whichever likes me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Pulls a flower from behind my back.::  CEO: This is for you.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Well, that may be the next litter!  ::grins at him::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO: You did some excellent work over this last mission; you earned it. ::sees Ec' approach:: CTO: Don't worry about it. I've got something for you when we get back to the ship.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: smiles at Icky :: CTO: Any luck in your search?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Follows after the unperturbed Klingon, humor in her eyes.::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Looks at the Commander lifting up one of the kittens.::  Self:  Hmm?  That looks pretty easy.  ::Reaches down to pick up one of the kittens, and holds it firmly against her, sitting down watching Baby out of the corner of her eye.::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles at the FCO.::  FCO:  So which one are you going to take?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sticks his tongue out at her and holds the male to his chest, rubbing its fur against his face:: CNS: He's so beautiful.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Yeah, I caught the little brat.  She seems to have forgotten the problems she had with the Sehlat and the temperature problems.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Arrives at the Counselors door and rings the chime::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  And he is the runt, like someone else I know! ::snickering::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: OK, thank you for understanding, Sir.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Are you to be one of the new parents of Baby's kits?
Host ADM_Knight says:
@~~~CSO:  Oh sure, right after Aurora gets hers!~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Enter!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: laughs ::
  XO_Q`tor says:
       CSO:  The Counselor thinks it would be good for me.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Holds her kitten close to her cuddling it.::  CNS:  Oh Randi!  I want this one.  She's so soft!
XO_Q`tor says:
::Looks inside at the crowd:: CNS: Is there room?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ Adm:  Done.  I will have one made before we leave.~~~~
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::chuckles:: CTO: Ec', we're here to celebrate. I don't want to hear 'sir' or 'Captain' if you're trying to get my attention. It's James.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO/CTO: I'm ready for some fun. Gentlemen? :: motions to the casino ::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Moves over a bit next to Randi for the XO to sit down with them.::  XO:  You can sit here, Q'tor.
Host ADM_Knight says:
@::just shakes his head and chuckles as he heads towards Randi's quarters::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sure there is!  Just one big happy family!  I have 2 females left... one is yours and the other is the admirals... better hurry and choose!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::motions:: CEO: Ladies first.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at her big friend.:: Níyol, you will need to remain here.  My apologize.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: Oh, OK, I'll try, I promise.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: leads the way inside the casino :: CO/CTO: Wow, big crowd today.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: You think they're ready for us?  ::Holds out his hand.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::smiles and claps him on the back:: CTO: That's fine with me.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Pokes the FCO with her finger.::  FCO:  So did you not hear me?  ::Giggles.::  Which one are you taking?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Follows in behind Q'tor.::  ~~~~ Adm:  Looks like you get the last of the litter.~~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Well, then he and I will get along famously.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Looks at the CSO as if wondering what to do and then down at the two remaining fur balls::
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CSO:  Randi has gotten a female picked out for me.~~~  ::arrives just outside Randi's quarters and chimes::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Yeah, it does sorta look like he has droopy drawers doesn't it?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Sees the CSO enter and smiles at her.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Enter!
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  You chose one... unless you wish to take the last of the litter.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Hi Sierra!
Host ADM_Knight says:
::enters::  All:  What, did you move the party here?  ::grins::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: sniffs the flower in her hand as they look around ::
XO_Q`tor says:
::reaches down and holds his fingers out to the kittens::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::giggles:: CNS: At least he's not wearing tight pants.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::looks around at the casino:: CEO/CTO: Dabo?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps aside.::  Adm:  It would appear so.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::steps closer to Sierra and gives her a kiss::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: I've never played Dabo. It is hard?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  You bet!  It has been a while since I had a party here... in fact, the last time was when Varesh was onboard.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: looks over at Icky and mouths the words "thank you" for the flower ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: I've not done much gambling of this type, so I'll follow your leads.
XO_Q`tor says:
::smiles as one of the kittens sniffs his finger and tries to fit it's mouth over the tip::  CNS: I will take that one.  What is its name?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: I'm taking the runt, as Randi pointed out.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Returns the kiss with a smile.::  Adm: You realize, you will not be able to have the kit until weaned.  Will that be our next return date to the station?  ::Twinkle in her eyes::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO/CTO: It's a game of chance, not unlike roulette.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  None are named... except my male of course!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Smiles back, mouthing "it was nothing".::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks up at Ethan, holding out the kitten:: Adm: I'm taking this one... 
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::leans over to the CTO:: CTO: A piece of advice, though I'm sure you don't need it.. keep your eye on the wheel, not the girl.
Host ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  I could just keep the Huron here until they are ready!  ::grins::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  This lovely lady that is left is yours ::hands him the kitten::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: I'd like to try sir...errrrr
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Are you taking one, Q'tor?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::gives her a raised eyebrow, then grins and approaches the dabo table::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: My eyes are well focused, but thanks.  Played enough games to know what "distractors" are meant for.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Adm:  Somehow, I cannot quite see that.
XO_Q`tor says:
::picks up the kitten that is gnawing his finger:: OPS: Yes, this one.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::walks over to Dylan and gently kisses him::  FCO:  Gee, thanks Dylan.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watches Baby out of the corner of her eye to make sure she is all right with all the company::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: walks over and looks the table over :: CTO: This looks easy enough.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: They are unnamed so I can name this one?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Grins.::  XO:  Looks like it likes you.  ::Continues to pet her kitten on its head.::  CNS:  How are we going to know who's is who's?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CTO: Then you'll do fine. ::looks at the table, then at the girls:: Dabo girl: I hope it's not too late to put down a wager.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  That's right... just make it one we all can pronounce Q'tor! ::chuckling at him::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks curiosly at the new addition to the Knight family, then down at her son, holding him to see the kits.::  Braeden:  Well, what do you think?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins:: Adm: Hello to you too... ::gives him a quick embrace:: Doesn't he look like a little Leo?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  You know what?  I have an idea.  ::Pulls a pink bow from her pocket, and ties it on top of her kitten's head.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Well, I think it might be a good idea to notice where the spots are, as you can see, they are in different places on each kitten.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Hopefully looks aren't deceiving, but I think luck may be with us finally.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::leans over to give Sierra a hello hug, while holding onto his kitten::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  I doubt that Baby will let that bow stay there.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: giggles :: CTO: You're all the luck I need.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles.::  CNS:  Well it's worth a try anyway.  ::Smiles at her.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS;  But if you have a colored handkerchief, that might work.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::leans down and picks up the girl that now belongs to him::  FCO:  Yeah, it does.  And don't you think this one here sorta looks like Randi herself?  ::grins::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::puts five strips of latinum down on the table, laying down his bet::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Believes it wise not to touch that comment.::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  I'll have to replicate one.  I can't wait till she gets older to take her to the holodeck to train her!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: Five strips?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Why thank you Admiral... that is quite a compliment...
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: ADM: I do believe that would be the case.
XO_Q`tor says:
::As the kitten is still trying to gnaw his finger Q'tor makes a decision::CNS: Her name will be chopwI'
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Grins at the Admiral.::  ADM:  You know, Admiral, I think you're right!  It does kinda look like Randi!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :; follows suit and lays five strips down as well ::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO: I don't want to show all my cards.. just that I'm confident.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::stares at the XO:  XO:  Is that because you are mad at her?  ::laughing::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: With you what else could we need?  But let's see how the game runs.  ::Sets a strip of Latinum on 10,5,0, 8, and 6.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  What is the meaning?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::flags down a waitress:: CEO/CTO: What do you two want to drink?
Host ADM_Knight says:
OPS:  Brandy.....I just HOPE it doesn't have that same type of wildness as Randi does!  ::laughs::
XO_Q`tor says:
CSO: It means Biter
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: Anything is fine sir.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Hey!
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods::  XO:  Ahhh...
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
ADM:  Oh, I can assure you, if it came from Randi's quarters, it does ::winks at Randi.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Ethan and Dylan::  Adm/FCO:  And have you names for your new friends?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles at Q'Tor's name for his kitten:: XO: Very appropriate!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Thanks, I think Brandy! ::winking back at her::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: I was thinking of calling this little man Leo, King of the Jungle.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: Why does it not open its eyes?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: Just an ale I think.  Can't go too heavy.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Giggles at the CNS.::  FCO:  Oh!  That is so adorable!  And so fitting!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Ok Admiral, you are the last one... what name are you giving?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Waitress: Can I get two Rob Roys, an Andorian ale and put it all on my tab?
Host ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  Well Sierra, if it looks like a Randi......she's got to be a Randi!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Because Q'tor, felines on Earth, have their eyes closed for about 2 to 3 weeks... that is normal.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Just barely stops from rolling her eyes and looks at her husband, sending him a silent message with humor.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns to Ethan and Sierra:: Adm/CSO: Meet Leo, the new addition to the family.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::The kitten she is holding starts to cry for it's mom, so she places it back on the floor with Baby.::  CNS:  I don't think Baby is used to having all this company.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::watches the wheel carefully as it slows::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::holds her head::  Adm:  Randi?  ::looks at Brandy::  Not another one!
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Really? Wouldn't that make them easy prey for other predators?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Reaches out a hand toward Leo.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: stands close to Icky, her hand rubbing the back of his ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Q'tor, put the kitten down and let me leave the room... I promise you, Baby will not let you have the kitten.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins as Sierra strokes his kitten:: CSO: Is that a good name?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::wathces as Baby begins to groom the kitten that OPS put back on the floor next to her::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks over at Sierra and gives her an impish grin::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  She's cleaning her again?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::takes the male out of her lap and gives it to Baby::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS; Of course... our hands are dirty as far as Baby is concerned.  ::laughing at Brandy::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  So, do you think Aurora will like her?
XO_Q`tor says:
::Goes to put the kitten down and sniffs it as he does::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Wonders if Baby will leave the bow in her hair and then frowns as she pulls it out with her teeth.::  CNS:  Well, it looks as though you were right on that one.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  I cannot answer that question until she is older.  But if it makes you happy and feels right.... :: Lightly touches his hand, her eyes smiling.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Yup!
Host ADM_Knight says:
CNS:  Randi, I doubt there's any reason to worry about that.  I'm sure Aurora will take on the duties of mother figure.  ::chuckles::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::watches the wheel stop on 10::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::reluctantly returns Leo to Baby:: CSO: He's going to rule my quarters, that's for sure. ::smiles::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  It is a shame you can't go with us when we leave.  They need to get to know each other very soon.
Host ADM_Knight says:
FCO:  That's right Dylan.....and any future ripped pants can be blamed on him!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: grabs Icky's hand :: CTO: You won!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::laughs:: ADM: You got that right!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::imagines Leo tearing Roz' clothes to shreds, then sends the mental image to Ethan and Roz::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  The kit will have the rest of us, especially Braeden.  Who :: Looks curiously at Ethan then shrugs.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: I did?  Wow, how did that happen?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  That is a good idea Sierra.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Stands watching quietly over the kittens and their mother::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: notices that her bet was on 4 and 7 ::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Sits quietly watching the mother groom her kittens.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  I have some excellent training and hunting holo-programs if you would like to use them when she is older.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::laughs:: CNS: I will teach him to respect my clothes.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CTO: Looks like it's your lucky day! ::watches the dabo girl push over 35 strips of latinum::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Uh huh...
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO/CTO: Guess I lost.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::puts on a mock stern look:: CNS: Don't you go teaching him things before he comes to live with me!
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Thank you Counselor
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO: Yeah, me too.. but it's a hell of a payout when you were on one number!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Who me?  Now would I do anything like that Roz?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: I wonder where our drinks are. Gambling makes me thirsty.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: That is an understatement, by a long shot.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  They are so much fun to train Q'tor, and ocelots are so smart!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: eyes the Dabo girl and looks at the Captain's and Icky's face as she pushes the latinum over ::
Host ADM_Knight says:
All:  Well, I'm glad I was able to make it for this little party.  Unfortunately, I must take my leave now, so if you'll excuse me.
XO_Q`tor says:
Self: oS'elotS ::the word coming out with a Klingon accent::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Yes, you would. ::grins at her, watching Baby wash the kittens::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ Adm:  Another meeting?~~~~
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
ADM:  Nice to see you, Admiral.  ::Waves good-bye to him.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  And you just said what XO?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Adm:  Bye Ethan... we will see you soon!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Takes the strips.::  CEO: Not sure, maybe they want to distract us a bit?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::pulls out another few strips and places them on a trio: 3, 6 and 9, then looks around:: CEO: Yeah, where are those drinks?
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks over to Brandy and winks::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~ADM: If I don't see you before we leave... I'll see you when we get back. Remember what I told you in the arboretum.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  Randi, we will see you later... :: Nods toward Dylan and Brandi then follows Ethan out.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Take care of Randi for me.~~~
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Just trying to repeat what you said they are called Counselor - oS'elotS
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: What's your favorite number?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: looks at the table :: CO/CTO: I think I'll pass this time.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Waves good-bye to the CSO.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Like I would forget.....and you remember as well.~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~ADM:  I will... and I will take care of me too!~~~
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::notices the waitress starting over with the martinis and ale:: CEO/CTO: Ahh, here it comes.
Host ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  I'll see you back on the SB.  Enjoy yourself.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Laughs at the XO's attempt to say ocelot.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Always.~~~ ::smiles at Sierra as they leave::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: Seven, but I wouldn't waste your money on that. I don't want you to lose.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Oh Q;tor!  I love your accent, say that again.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Did you want to find a different game?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Adm:  As soon as you are free, let me know... we will join you then.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Raises a confused eyebrow at the Counselor:: CNS: oS'elotS?
Host ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  Of course.  ::leans down to kiss Braeden and heads out the door::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Excellent!  ::begins to say it to herself::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  He does look very cute when he is trying to say it ::grins.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::notices the dabo girl ready to spin the wheel::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS;  Well he speaks better English than I could begin to speak Klingon!
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  And I know.  Klingons are not supposed to be cute ::giggles.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: How can I loose today?  I'm so far ahead that no amount of Latinum lost today would be a loss.  ::Places 20 strips on 7.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks back through the doors.::  FCO:  Dylan, you have anything planned?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: I don't know about any of these games Icky. You can play and I'll watch.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Nothing concrete... did you have anything in mind?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::looks at the monstrous stack of latinum as the wheel starts::
XO_Q`tor says:
::looks back and forth from the CNS to OPS:: CNS/OPS: You are mocking me!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: Icky, that's too much!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Laughs.::  CEO: You think I know these games?  I just proved that "rather be lucky than good" line with the last spin.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  I know what you mean.  I don't even know any Klingon so I'll just assume what he is saying is nice.  ::smiles at her.::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Who moi?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :; goes to grab a few strips off the stack ::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  Acutally, nothing at all.  :: Frowns::  It is odd... but in many ways... things are so different since returning.  I have not found my... nique again without Ethan being there.  :: Looks at him.:: Does that make sense?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Never Q'tor, it is true admiration, listen and see if I say it right ::tries to pronounce ocelot the way he did::  How did I do?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Who is Mwa?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Chuckles.::  XO:  You are too funny.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  That would be vous.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: I wouldn't know Counselor, it is not a Klingon word so there would be no proper Klingon pronunciation
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: It's fine, letting the winnings ride a bit.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::gets up and walks over to the door:: CNS/OPS/XO: I'll see you later. I have something to take care of. ::exits Randi's quarters::
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS: What?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  But Q'tor, did I sound like you?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Bye Roz!
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  What is a vu?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I know what you mean, in a way. Would you like to walk through the arboretum?
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: Your voice is not low enough to sound like me.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :; watches the wheel spin , keeping her eyes closed ::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  It is a place I always enjoy... you know that.  But what is it that you need to take care of?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Let's just say I know as much French as I know Klingon.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Q'tor, how long would I get in the brig for hitting an XO?  ::very exasperated with him::
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS: French?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::watches as the wheel slows, landing on..... 8:: Self: Damn!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Talking to you. ::smiles:: You look like you could need a friend and a brother.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  Oh careful Randi - isn't hitting a Klingon a sign for wanting to mate with them?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS/CNS: You are trying to confuse me on purpose!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@:: opens one eye slowly :: CTO: Where did it land?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS/CNS: We have a word for that on Qo'noS
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Cause you're just too cute when you're confused.  ::Reaches over and pinches him on the cheek and then smiles.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::breaks out in a laugh::  OPS:  I think you are right!  I take that back Q'tor.  His wife would make mince meat out of me!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO/ CEO: On 8, but it's no problem, I'm still up 10 strips.
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS/CNS: be'joy
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Shifts Braeden to her opposite hip with Níyol next to her.::  FCO:  Too many changes in too short of a time.  At least the other changes... :: shrugs::  We had three years to slip into them.  I did not realize how hard it would be to come back.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  Yes, I do not believe Klingons share.  
XO:  Okay - what is be'joy?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO: How can you be so calm? That's a lot to lose.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Which means?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS/CNS: Torture by females
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: Sorry you lost as well Captain.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Brandy, I think we have just been slandered!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::frowns:: CTO: Some guys get all the luck. ::breaks into a grin:: CEO: Don't worry about it, I still have quite a store.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::walking next to Sierra:: CSO: I can't begin to imagine it. But I'm always there if you need to talk. 
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: But I started with 5, and now I have 15.  Plus like I said, I could loose a moon sized pile today and still be ahead.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Playfully punches him in the arm.::  XO:  Now why do I get the feeling you like this be'joy?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::pulls out ten strips and lays them down on a line bet, 6:1 payout::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  Sometimes that is just it, talk about what?  I have never been strong in communication.  I never needed to be.  And with Ethan in my mind, that has not changed much.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::jumps as Baby let's out a growl at Brandy hitting Q'tor:  OPS;  I wouldn't do that again.... Baby didn't like that, it is too close to her kittens.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Baby:  It is all right, we are just playing.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Looks down at his arm and then back at Brandy:: OPS: What would give you that impression?
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Nods, and steps back a bit.::  Baby:  It's okay, Baby.  I'm just playing.  We always like to hit our XO.  He likes it.  ::grins.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at Sierra:: CSO: We might not have as close a connection - but you have been in my mind, and I i yours... I know you better than my own siblings.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO/CTO: Well since you both seem to enjoy losing..... :: places her last 25 strips on number seven ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS/XO:  I think we need to go into the living room and let Baby and the kittens rest.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: You two are too concerned.  I was betting profit.  ::Drops another 5 strips, 1 each on 10,5,0,8 and 6 again.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Smiles::  FCO:  Then you already know all.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  Yes, she must be tired with all this company.  ::Reaches out carefully to pet Baby on the head.::  Baby:  Take care of Tinkerbell for me, Baby.
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS/CNS: You two are... what is the word?...ex-asp-er-ating.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::leads the way into the living area::  XO;OPS;  Would either of you like something to drink?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CTO: I used to be pretty good at running the table when I was in the Academy. ::takes a sip of his drink, now that the waitress has made it over::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Giggles and follows the XO and CNS into the living area.::  XO:  Yup, you could say that.  
CNS:  I'll just have a water, Randi.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::sees the wheel spin again, hoping his luck's about to change::
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS/CNS: Perhaps you two would care to join me for a meal.  Counselor I believe I know of a Klingon dish that you would enjoy.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Remember that
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  As long as it doesn't crawl, I'm game.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
, my sister,
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: It is vegetation
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Oh Yes!!!!
OPS:  Brandy you have to come... the food is wonderful and his friend is a hoot!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: closes her eyes again and turns away ::
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  I would love to.  As long as it doesn't crawl or walk off my plate that is ::chuckling.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow in teasing query::  FCO:  Blackmail?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::chews on his lip as it slows... 7!::
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Not all Klingon dishes are alive when eaten.
OPS_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Wonders if that's a good thing.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO/CTO: What is it?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  No... ::giggling:: You strangle them first!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: See?  I told you that luck was our friend today!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@All: DABO! ::glad he included 7 on his line bet::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::stops and looks at Sierra:: CSO: You are an extension of me in many ways, could I blackmail myself?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :; looks at the wheel :: CTO: I won!
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Eyes twinkle::  FCO:  With those leather pants?  Yes.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: It is a type of salad popular with Klingons
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@CEO: Over forty bars.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ :: jumps up and hugs Icky and then the Captain ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CSO: Touche’!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Yes you did!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::returns the hug as a huge pile of latinum gets pushed in their direction::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Slips a hand through his arm and quietly walks along, her emotions unsettled.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::feels that Sierra is unsettled, but is unsure how to assure her::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks over at him and blushes.::  FCO:  Sorry...
