CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Checks on her personal console to see if there are any messages from Icky, then checks her appointment list.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Walking through the mountain forests of Naqtor on Qo'noS.::

CO_Talora says:
::Walks out of the Security department after having a VERY long conversation with "Starfleet".:: Self: Amazing how much I really don't understand about these people....

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::In his room on the station, wishing he was able to get a holo-deck but, is only a lowly Ensign.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looking at himself in the mirror making sure his uniform is straight.::

Jessica says: 
::Comes running in from her room.:: CEO: Mommy, look what I made. ::Hands her a padd.::

Samantha says:
XO:  I still don't understand what Starfleet is going to do with two Talora's.  And I feel very bad that she is not in her own home.  ::Rubs her hand over a wrinkle on Toir's clothing.::  You handsome thing you.  ::Kisses him on the cheek.::

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Sits at a local cafe and watches the ebb and flow of people passing.:: Self: Good to be back. ::Takes a drink from his flask.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Turns around.:: Sam: Well,  it's not my problem.  They will figure out what to do with her.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Getting a bit stir crazy, sitting around with nothing to do.::  Self: Shoulda stayed on the ship.  At least my piano is there.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessica: This is very good. I think maybe you should think of taking up painting. This sketch is beautiful, Jessie.

CO_Talora says:
::Starts wandering around the station while waiting for an answer from "Starfleet" about her fate.::

Samantha says:
::Plops herself across the bed and stares at the XO.::  XO:  So .. want to go for a walk?  Or check out one of those holonovels?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Spots his skateboard nearby on the floor.::

Jessica says:
::Beams with pride.:: CEO: Can I really Mommy? I like to draw stuff and Daddy says he likes to put it in his office.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Thinks of the holonovel.::  Sam: didn't you say you wanted to do something for Jessie?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles and pats the seat beside her for Jessie to join her.::

Samantha says:
XO:  I did, but maybe her mom and dad have plans.  We've just got here not too long ago.  Maybe we should go shopping and buy her something.  What do you think?  ::Her eyes are beaming cause she loves the shopping idea.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: I can't sit here no more.  ::Pulls on a sleeveless shirt, sneakers and some cut-offs, grabs the skateboard and heads out the door.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessica:  Jessie, I have an appointment soon with someone that might be interested in helping Daddy and I teach you things.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Lowers his head.::  Sam: Let’s go shopping.  ::Grumpy-like.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Once outside the door, drops the board to the floor and rides it away, heading for the Promenade.::

Jessica says:
CEO: Huh? I have my new teacher Miss Plum. She teaches me lots of things.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Comes across an outcropping of rock.::  Q'ten:  This spot is where the House of Qaveq was born.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Watches as someone flies past on a skateboard.::

Q’ten says: 
CO: Out here in the woods?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Is very careful of pedestrians and other obstacles.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessica:  I know Jessie and Miss Plum is a wonderful teacher, but this lady would live with us and help take care of you when Mommy and Daddy are away.

Samantha says:
::Snickers, gets up off the bed, and grabs his hand.::  XO:  Would you like me to call Clarissa and see if she can watch the kids, or would you like to take them with us?

Daniella says: 
::Pulls on her mommy's shirt.::  Mom:  Mommy, mommy, I want one of those.  ::Points to OPS skating by.::

Jessica says:
CEO: Oh, I see. ::Pouts.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam: How about we go without them for once.  Just remind Clarissa, about T'vis and his biting.  You know what happened the last time.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessie: She'll be here soon, so please try and be on your best behavior, okay?

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Stands up and heads outside the café.::

Samantha says:
XO:  I could really use the day off.  ::Taps her comm badge and calls Clarissa to see if she's busy.::  That sounds so horrible, wanting the day off.

CO_Talora says:
::Finds herself on the Promenade and sits on one of the benches there.::

Jessica says:
CEO: I guess so.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Qaveq served His lord Taneb of the House of Satep as the General of his warriors.  When Qaveq finally wiped out the rival House of Moreq, Taneb rewarded him by making him one of the heirs to his House as he had no heirs of his own blood.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hops on a rail, rides until the end and sticks the landing.::

ACTION:  Commander Sparks' door bell chimes.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes a shushing motion to Jessie and goes to the door.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam: It's not horrible.  Just exciting.   ::Pauses.::  You know, I still think back to the days when we used to spar together; before, well you know .. ::shrugging to the baby crib.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  However, Taneb made a serious mistake by dividing his House between Qaveq and his advisor D'jong.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Looks around and heads to the nearest library.::

Samantha says:
::Snickers a bit.::  XO:  Now darling, we still do that .. just not in the holodeck anymore.  ::Grins at him.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Opens the door to a rather elderly woman with graying hair.:: Woman: Yes?

ACTION:  The XO and Sam's door bell chimes.

Woman says: 
CEO: Miss Sparks? I believe we have an appointment?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Glares at her.::  Sam: You know what I mean.  Lately I feel so........   Now who could that be?

Samantha says:
XO:  That must be her.  ::Runs to open the door to see Clarissa there.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Several weeks later Taneb was ambushed on this spot and killed.  Giving rise to the Houses of Qaveq and D'jong, and to the feud that would rage between them until you came along and ended it.

Samantha says:
::Calls back to him.::  XO:  I'll let you explain about the biting.  ::Smiles at him.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Thinking to self that he really needs to relax like he used too.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles and ushers the woman inside.::  Woman: Of course, please excuse me. I didn't expect....well a woman of such... ::stops and bits her lip.::

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Starts reading on Klingon weapon combat and usage thinking, "I must ask Q'tor or Toir about using these sometime..."::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sees a well positioned bench and heads straight for it, picking up speed.  Let's the board go under the bench as he jumps over it and, again, sticks the landing.::

Q’ten says:
CO:  I don't remember ending any feud.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Clarissa:  Yes, he has started biting lately.  Be careful.  He does like the taste of blood.  Hate to see you in the sickbay on our account.

Woman says: 
CEO: Ah then I can understand your surprise Miss. I may be a bit over the hill as you humans call it, but I assure you that I am perfectly capable of looking after a young lady.

CO_Talora says:
::Looks up and sees a man riding a plank of wood on wheels do a interesting trick.::

Clarissa says: 
XO:  He's teething already?  Must be the Klingon coming out in him.  ::Snickers.::  I'll be careful to stay away from the movable parts.  You two run along now.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Smiles at his son.::  Q'ten:  You did not end it personally, but you were instrumental in their downfall, and to Q'von's appointment to the High Council.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Looks around and sees several people giving him an assortment of odd looks.  Then he spots T2 looking at him.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says: 
::Motions to a chair.:: Woman: Please make yourself comfortable and tell me about yourself.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Wishes Icky were here to help with the interview.::

CO_Talora says:
::Sees the man looking at him and quickly looks down.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Clarissa: Thank you.  You know how to contact me if you need anything.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam:  You ready?

Clarissa says:
XO:  I do.  They'll be fine.  Go enjoy yourselves.  Take your time.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Sees an interesting knife strike depicted in a book and makes a mental note of how to do it.::

Samantha says:
::Smiles at Clarissa feeling a bit uneasy at leaving the kids.::  XO:  I'm good.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  You were barely old enough to hold a blade when D'jong warriors attacked and kidnapped you and your Sopcha' <godmother> who was a former shipmate of mine.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Figures she wants to be alone so, he moves on.::

Woman says:
CEO: Let's get the name thing out of the way first off. Call me Nanny Grace. I don't go in for all that formal stuff. So what should I call you, Miss Sparks, Commander, what do you prefer?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Leading her out of the room into the wall.:: Sam: Do not worry.  They'll be fine with her.

Jenny says: 
::Grabs a book and heads for an empty seat, eyeing up the seat across from the CMO, seeing the library is filled with patrons.::  CMO:  Excuse me, this seat taken?

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Looks up from his book.:: Jenny: Of course not. Please, sit.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: Now all of a sudden she's looking at me like she don't know me.  Wish she'd make up her mind.  Crazy!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  She tried to hide you, but when they attacked her you flew at them like a wild targh, seriously injuring a full grown warrior.

Samantha says:
XO:  I know.  I've never left them for a long period of time.  Usually it's just for like a doctor appointment, or something quick.  ::Looks back as the door to their station quarters which closes behind them.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: Oh, I'm Holly and that will be fine. ::Sits across from her.:: So, why did you apply for this position?

CO_Talora says:
::Noticing OPS skate away and sighs to herself.:: Self: He probably thinks I'm a freak anyways...

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Leading them to the Promenade.::  Sam: Let’s enjoy the time.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Disappears around a corner.::

Jenny says:
::Looks at the book that he is reading.::  CMO:  Studying Klingon culture?  ::Pauses.::  The name is Jenny.  Jenny Stevens.  I'm stationed here in one of the medical labs, but I love to come here in my spare time and read, mostly history things.

Samantha says:
::Grabs the XO's hand.::  XO:  So what do you think a little girl would like?  We can't get her a pet.  She already has one of those.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Looks back up.:: Jenny: William Stradiot. CMO on the Huron. Nice to meet you. Yes, I'm reading up on Klingon combat techniques. It’s quite interesting.

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Well, I believe I heard it through someone....not sure who now, but I was at loose ends as my former employer and her husband are currently on sabbatical from Starfleet and are touring several systems with their children.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Returns to where T2 is and hands her an ice cream cone; he has another one, for himself, in his other hand as he comes to a stop in front of her on his board.::  CO_Talora: You want this? I have two.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Holding her hand.:: Sam: I don't know.  I'm not up to par with human girls.   A doll?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: Oh so you worked for someone in Starfleet?

Samantha says:
XO:  That would be perfect!  See that?!  You're already thinking ahead for Braylin.  ::Smiles at him.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Walks down the promenade looking for her husband.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Grinning.::  Sam: Yes, but I don't think Jessie would want to cut it's head off.  That’s for my little Braylin.

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Oh my yes, a lovely woman. Perhaps you know of her, Commander Adams-MacLeod of the USS Dublin?

CO_Talora says:
::Looks up at him with surprise.:: OPS: Umm...well thank you. Sorry about earlier on the ship....I just had a lot of memories of a dear friend of mine. ::Gestures to the bench.:: OPS: Would you like to sit down?

Jenny says:
CMO:  It's nice to meet you, doc.  One of these days, I'm hoping my ship comes in, and I'll be able to fly on a starship.  Right now, they said I don't have the expertise.  But I'm learning .. and someday .. I'm going to be on a starship .. just like you.  ::Smiles at him.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  They were able to take you both.  The fools assumed that a Betazoid female would not understand Klingon and that you were too young to understand what was happening.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sits.:: CO_Talora: Sure.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Taps her combadge.:: *CMO*: William where are you?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Shakes her head.:: Nanny Grace: No, I don't believe I know her. The Dublin you say? How long were you there?

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Smiles.:: Jenny: Like everything, it takes time. ::Hears the combadge and sighs.:: *FCO*: The library.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CMO*: The what???? Where is this library?

Samantha says:
XO:  Silly you!  ::Slaps him playfully across the arm.::  Braylin is going to be a princess.  No head-cutting for her.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: So, I take it this "friend" looks a lot like me?  ::Licks his ice cream cone.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Walks into a lift and orders it to take her to the deck where the library is.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Once Lorenzo learned of their plans she escaped with you and revealed the plan to everyone.  The House of D'jong was declared traitor by the High Council and the leaders executed.  Qaveq was given a place on the High Council and now here we are.

CO_Talora says:
::Smiles.:: OPS: Well...almost exactly like you. Same name as well I've come to find out. ::Sighs.:: He died while protecting me...::Licks her ice cream cone.::

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Oh about three years I believe. She has the most beautiful triplets, Adam, Seth and dear sweet Summer; such angels, despite their father. ::Grunts softly.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam: A princess?  You wouldn't dare?  She will be as tough as a targ.  You'll see.

Q’ten says:
CO:  I miss Julia.  Where did she go?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: Their father? Was he in Starfleet too?

Jenny says:
CMO:  Even if I just get a job in the labs on a ship, I wouldn't care.  My dream is to one day make it to a starship.  My dad is stationed here, so I'm sure that he could have some pull.  But I want to do it on my own.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: Hmm, that's sad.  Oh, sorry about your crew and ship.  It must suck.  ::Doesn't know what else to say.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  She is working for your Grandfather, Qaveq.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Smiles.:: Jenny: Well, evidently my wife's never heard of a library before. ::Sighs:: You'll work on a starship too, but it’s not all fun and games.

CO_Talora says:
::Nods and hangs her head.:: OPS: A couple of those people I've known since I was 12, when I first joined the Brotherhood.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Gets off the lift and practically flies down the corridor to a big door way marked "Library" and enters looking for William.::

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Unfortunately he lived Starfleet, day and night. Never had enough time for the children or dear Cassie.

Samantha says:
XO:  Honey, I thought we agreed that we would expose the children to both cultures, but Braylin would have more of a human background; T'vis the Klingon background.

Jenny says:
CMO:  Never heard of a library?  How sad!  You must bring her here more often.  ::Smiles at him.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Not everyone who served the House of D'jong was executed.  Many that were responsible for your abduction were never brought to justice.  I will leave it at that, and you will ask nothing further about it.  Perhaps one day we will see her again.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: Oh dear, that sounds awful, Nanny.  I hope the Captain didn't know that.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
Jenny:  Spoke too soon. Here she comes now. ::Laughs lightly.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: Too bad we can't figure out a way to send you back to your own time at a time before your ship get involved with the rift and all that, huh?  ::Takes a bit more ice cream.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Rounding a corner.:: Sam: We did agree to expose them.  But they both need to be strong, understand the ways of what it means to be a warrior of honor.

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: That's just it my dear. He WAS the Captain.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Sees William talking to a young woman and walks up to them both.:: CMO: So this is what you call a library?  On Betazed we don't call it by that name.  We use the Building of Knowledge.

Jenny says:
CMO:  I'll tell you what.  It was very nice meeting you, but I don't want to take up your seat here.  So I need to get back to my studies anyway.  You have a nice day, Doc.  ::Smiles at him and gets up out of her seat and offers it to the FCO.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Muffles a small laugh.::

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Smiles and nods.:: Jenny: Have a nice day, Jenny, and good luck.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Jenny: Thank you, my dear.  I hope he wasn't boring you with his Vulcan idioms.  ::Smiles.::

Samantha says:
XO:  I don't want her to be a warrior, Toir.  I want her to be human, and choose her own way of life.

Jenny says:
::Nods at him.::  CMO:  Nice to meet you.  

CO_Talora says:
OPS: Well, Starfleet is figuring out a way. They really don't seem to want me here, but as you said, there really aren't many ways to get back. ::Shrug::  Besides, there's not much left for me back there.

Jenny says:
FCO:  Not at all.  I love culture.  You two take care.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Nods.:: FCO: Hello dear. ::Goes back to reading his book.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::A drop of ice cream drips onto his bare knee, he wipes it off with his index finger then, licks it off his finger.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: I am sorry for being late my love but it couldn't be helped.  I got a message from my parents...you aren't paying me any attention are you!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Coming onto the Promenade.:: Sam: How come you want her to be human?  She isn't just human; she is part Klingon.  And one to hope to be the Lady of the house one day.  Be proud of who she is.

Samantha says:
XO:  I am proud of who she is.  But I want her to be proud of what she chooses also.  I want things to be her choice, not mine, not yours.

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Before that, my brother and I ran a small agency on McKinley Station. You know, like an employment agency. When Commander Adams-MacLeod came in looking for a nanny, well I offered myself. She just had the look that said she needed me.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
FCO: Of course I am. Just multi-tasking, dear.  What's this about your parents?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Oh this is as much fun as talking to a wall in the middle of winter.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: Well, don't take anything Starfleet says personally, I think we all know how important it is for you to go back.  There must be a way.  You got here from there, didn't you?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: My parents are coming here!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Laughing.:: Sam: You don't understand the ways of a Klingon female.  We shall see how she turns out.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Grimaces.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: See, I knew you would have that face.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: I see, and did the Commander find your services satisfactory? You do have references correct?

Samantha says:
XO:  Maybe not.  I guess I haven't learned everything there is to know about being a Klingon.  But hey!  We've found the doll shop.  ::Snickers and points to the dolls in the window.::

CO_Talora says:
OPS: Of course. The timeline and such. But I might actually have something to do here. Depending on Starfleet, Q'tor and I have started making plans for something.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Sighs.:: FCO: Why must they come here?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Bites the cone, as he eats through it very quickly.:: CO_Talora: In the meantime, try to relax.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Spots OPS and not sure if it's the CNS or T2.::  Sam: Is that Mr. Riley?  ::Points to them.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: Because they want to meet you and see me.  They say that they are bringing something for the twins.

CO_Talora says:
::Smiles.:: OPS: I'll try my best.

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Here you go. ::Hands her the padd.:: and I think Cassie was pleased ::growls.::  Even the Captain seemed to be as well.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Gives a resigned look.:: FCO: Yes, dear...

Samantha says:
XO:  That's Ensign Riley all right, but .. it's kinda hard to tell if that's our Talora or the double.  I've never seen the other Talora.  They say it's hard to tell.  You want to go say hi?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: Geezzzz William you could at least be happy.  ::Shakes head.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: Well, I hope you will be okay soon.  I still think you're crazy but, heck, so am I.  ::Smiles at her, as he pops what's left of his snack into his mouth.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Grinning.:: Sam: Let’s have a little fun; you always telling me to loosen up a little.

CO_Talora says:
::Smiles.:: OPS: The craziness only lasts as long as you notice it.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
FCO: Happy?  Well, I'm....intrigued at least.

Samantha says:
XO:  What'd you have in mind?  You behave yourself, Toir Naug.  ::Grins at him.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Doesn't know what that means but nods in agreement.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Let’s her arm fall as he walks up behind them with them not noticing.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: Put down that book and let’s go.  I am starving.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: So, what it like where you come from?

CO_Talora says:
::Shakes her head.:: OPS: You really don't like me all that much, do you.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: I don't know you but, I don't dislike you.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over the padd.:: Nanny Grace: I must say they both have wonderful things to say about you. Why the Captain even says that they couldn't have managed without you.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Sighs.:: FCO: Just a moment. ::Walks to the desk and checks out the book.:: FCO: Alright, let’s go.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Throws hands in the air.::  CMO: Oh I can't believe this.  You would check out the book to read later.  We are on shore leave William, not study hall.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: I like you more than I did ten minutes ago.

Samantha says:
::Pokes the XO in the ribs and whispers.::  XO:  Please be good.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Standing behind them.::  OPS:  MR. RILEY!

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Well as I said, the Commander seemed to need me and so I stayed. So where is my charge?

CO_Talora says:
::Jumps at the sudden yelling and leaps up, around and pulls out a knife, ready for anything.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Talora: Put that away before you hurt yourself.  

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Startled at the sound of his name, and recognizes the voice.  Stands quickly at attention.:: XO: Yes, Sir?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: Let me call her.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessie: Jessie, please come in here. I want you to meet someone.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Grabs William by the arm and pulls him into the lift, and sends it for the Promenade.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: As you say, "in the neighborhood" seeing how you getting along.  ::Grinning.::

Jessica says:
::Bounces into the room and almost trips over Nanny Grace's foot.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: I am hungry, and I am in the mood for something spicy.  How about you my Imzadi?

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
FCO: It’s a book dear. Please, my shore leave and relaxation does consist of reading as well.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Standing at attention but, pushes his skateboard under the bench discretely with his right foot.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessica: Jessie, please calm down and meet Nanny Grace.

Samantha says:
::Looks at Talora closely.::  CO Talora:  Are you .. our Talora?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO:  William can't you please forget that you are Vulcan and be human for once.  I don't mind you reading and the like, but you have to have time for me and being together.

Jessica says:
Nanny Grace: You're going to teach me stuff?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Oh, fine Sir.

CO_Talora says:
::Lowers her hand, but keeps the knife out, and her muscles tense, until she sees Sam.:: Sam:  S-s-s-Sam? That you?!  ::Composes herself.::  Sam: Sorry, I'm not your Talora, Ma'am.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Nods politely at Mrs. XO.::

Samantha says:
CO Talora:  Do I .. know you?  ::Looks at her oddly.::

Nanny Grace says:
Jessie: Well if your Mommy thinks I can, I'd love to help her teach you lots of wonderful things, like how to enter a room like a lady and not a rabbit. ::Smiles.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Puts out his hand at Talora.::  Talora: How do you know her.  ::Giving her a stern look.::

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
FCO: Reading doesn't automatically mean I'm being "Vulcan" on you dear.  Can't a man have a genuine interest?

Samantha says:
::Looks at OPS and smiles.::

Samantha says:
XO:  It's fine, dear.  She's not going to hurt me.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Casually picks up his board.:: XO: Well, I'm sure you want to interog... I mean, talk to Captain Talora alone.  I'll just make myself scarce.

CO_Talora says:
::Gives the XO a dirty look.:: XO: Never you mind. ::Looks back.:: 

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Nanny Grace: Well you seem well qualified, but I need to discuss this with my fiancé before a decision is made.

CO_Talora says:
Sam: I'm sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else I knew.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Looks apologetically at him.:: CMO: Yes, William, I suppose I am being selfish about this.  It is just that we don't have much quality time together these days.  You are so busy in sickbay and me on the bridge.  I wanted this shore leave to be special for us.

Nanny Grace says:
CEO: Oh I didn't know there was a Mr. Sparks. I understand.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Slowly moves away from what is sure to be a heavy scene.  Hopes he don't kill her.::

Samantha says:
::Eyes now catching OPS.::  OPS:  Don't go, Ensign Riley.  It's okay.

CO_Talora says:
OPS: Yes, please don't go, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Sam: Oh, umm, okay. Yes, Ma'am. ::Stays.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Stops and plants a kiss on William in the middle of the lift.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Laughs.:: CO_Talora: I'm not a "Sir".  ::Points to XO:: He is.

Samantha says:
OPS:  Please, call me Samantha.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Grins.:: Nanny Grace: Oh his name is Commander Ec'Thel`lon, and he's the chief tactical officer on the Huron. We're engaged, but he's already adopted Jessie as his own.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Nods.::

CO_Talora says:
::Smiles.:: OPS: Then what should I call you then?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Sam:  Really? Umm, okay, Ma'am.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO_Talora: I dunno, my name is Ben.  How about that?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  What is that thing you are holding?

CO_Talora says:
::Nods.:: OPS: Okay, Ben. I'd tell you to call me Talora, but you'd just get confused.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Talora:  And you explain yourself; and no never mind the mistake.  I know you are lying.

Nanny Grace says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: CEO: Oh so this is not your biological child and the Commander is not her father?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::The lift doors open revealing T'Lar and William deep in the passionate kiss.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Quietly stands there, feeling awkward, but politely listens.::

Samantha says:
::Snickers at OPS thinking it's going to be hard to get him to call her Samantha.::  OPS:  I'll settle for Sam.  I don't bite either.  ::Whispers.::  But he might.  ::Points to the XO and laughs.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: It's a skateboard, Sir.

CO_Talora says:
::Raises an eyebrow and doesn't say a word.::

Jessica says:
Nanny Grace: Nope, Icky isn't my real daddy, cause he died, mommy too.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam:  Very funny, Sam.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Sam: Yes, he might.  ::Smiles at her, hoping he won't get into trouble for it.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Talora: I've got my eye on you.  Don't you forget.  I don't trust you one bit.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessica: Jessie, hush sweetie.  I'll tell Nanny all about it later.  Remember what I said?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Realizes where they are and pulls away.:: CMO: We are on the promenade.  Let’s go.

CO_Talora says:
::Knife still at her side.:: XO: Feeling's mutual, Toir...

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hides the board behind his back.::

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Nods and follows her.::

Jessica says:
CEO:  Be on my best behavior.  I remember.  ::Sits down on the floor pouting.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Wishing he'd be nicer to T2 but, is glad he ain't killing her.  That would be awkward.::

Samantha says:
XO:  Relax dear.  I'm sure she's more nervous about being here, than you are about her being here.  Remember, she's lost everyone she knows.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Walking quickly down the promenade to a fancy eating establishment and enters it licking her chops.::  CMO: I am starved.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Ignoring Talora for the moment being in front of OPS and Sam.:: OPS: What’s a skateboard?

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Nods to his wife.::

Q’ten says:
CO:  Why do so many other people have their mates on board and SoS is not here with you?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Sam:  I know, but I just get a feeling she resents me for something.  And I don't like it.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Umm, you ride it, for... umm, recreation and umm, exercise, Sir?

Nanny Grace says:
::Stands.:: CEO: Well my dear, I can see that you have many things to think about. Let me know when you decide. I'll be here for a few days. ::Smiles and heads for the door.::

CO_Talora says:
::Puts the knife back into its holster, but ready for any sudden attack.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Recreation?  Never had any use for that.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Quickly sits and orders hamburgers and fries and ice cream floats both chocolate and a piece of cheesecake.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Wishes he was off riding it someplace else.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: William what are you eating?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Stands and escorts her to the door.:: Nanny Grace: Thank you Nanny Grace, we'll be in touch.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Because your mother is Lady of the House and has to stay to perform her duties.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: Run along and have fun with your piece of wood.

CMO_Ltjg_Stradiot says:
::Sighs.:: FCO: Not that hungry dear. ::Takes a drink from his flask.::

Jessica says:
Nanny Grace:  Bye Nanny, I'll be good I promise. ::Grins,::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CMO: Blasted flask again!!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Gladly rides off into the sunset.::
